An Unexpected Visit

Drew and Walter finally confront each other

"Hey Walter. Wake up. It's Ralph."

Walter stirred and rolled over to the opposite direction, still sound asleep. Ralph tiptoed over to the other side of the bed and gingerly tapped his shoulder.

"Walter?" he whispered timidly. No response.

Ralph cleared his throat and took a deep breath, "It's Ralph! I'm in your room. I picked the lock to the garage to get in. You should change it."

Walter still snored unmoving. Ralph frowned. With a glimmer in his eye, he suddenly jumped on the bed, tackling his sleeping friend. In one swift moment, Walter sat up immediately and the two geniuses ended up colliding heads. He grabbed Ralph's shoulders tightly while the young boy rubbed his forehead.

"Ralph!?" He asked half awake and completely bewildered.

"Hello."

Walter let go of his shoulders and clumsily made his way out of bed, "It's...," He hurriedly turned on the light and pointed exaggeratedly at the alarm clock, "...1:13 in the morning! What are you doing here?!"

"I'm sorry! Don't be mad!"

"I'm not!..." He caught himself being louder than usual, "...mad. But please explain. Quickly." Only wearing boxers and socks, he realized how naked he felt.

The young genius looked down and started fiddling with Walter's bed sheets, "You know... Mom's out of town. And uh, I'm staying with Drew." He grew quieter.

Walter answered impatiently, "Yes, I know." He started to look for a shirt and put on the first one he found.

Ralph scratched his forehead, "That really hurt. You have a hard head."

Walter sat on the edge of the bed, "What happened?" He asked calmly.

Ralph blushed, "Well, I had a nightmare. I heard the TV was on so I went to the living room and Drew was there. He was laughing really loudly," Ralph paused and looked up to see Walter raise his eyebrows, "...When I told him about my nightmare he got really angry so fast and yelled at me. I didn't like it, so I left."

Walter watched Ralph intently, "How did you get here?"

"Well after I got tired of walking, I called an Uber." Ralph pulled out an old leather case out of his Pajama pocket, "I had to borrow Drew's wallet."

Walter just blinked and held out his hand and Ralph handed the wallet over. He held it tightly and shook his head slowly, "What am I going to tell your mother?"

The young genius's eyes widened, "Oh no you don't have to tell her! I didn't know what to do! Drew was being scary and I didn't know where else to go."

Walter adjusted himself on the bed, "What happened in your nightmare?"

"We were both in an ice cream truck and it was on the edge of a cliff. And right when we were about to fall, Mom showed up and used her super stretchy arms to reach down and pick us up. But then Drew saw us and tried to trap mom and I into a box."

Water smirked, "That dream does sound somewhat familiar. Is that it? Why would Drew get so angry about that?"

Ralph bit his fingernail, "Then you pushed Drew off the cliff and you and Mom got married."

Walters jaw dropped, "and you told Drew this?!"

Ralph nodded nervously.

"Oh god. He's going to kill me."

The young geniuses eyes widened, "I shouldn't have said anything."

"No, no don't worry. It was only a dream," Walter paced across his room, "Did Drew have any bottles or glasses beside him while he was watching TV?"

Ralph answered immediately, "5. Why?"

"And you didn't lock the door after you came in the garage, am I correct?"

"Um. Yes."

The geniuses looked at each other in silence, holding their breath.

A faint scuffle echoed from downstairs.

OMG guys I'm actually going to write a two-chapter story. I haven't done that in ages. AND I already wrote the second chapter, so expect it to be arriving shortly.

I wrote this because I've been dying to see a heated exchange between Drew and Walter. I have no idea why Scorpion is holding back on this juicy piece of drama, haha.

REVIEW plase! It's the best part of writing these stories I swear.
