Meet the Parents: Story 1
Introduction

Disclaimer: Like I could make up such a great show like Higher Ground...I didn't! FFC
did.
Author's Note: Ok people, here's the deal. Orignally, I had an idea for a "meet the parents"
idea, and it WASN'T gonna be like the movie. But then, Bao gave me an idea that it SHOULD
be like the movie. I liked both ideas so I decided that I'm going to post both. This one is
"story 1", the one kinda like the movie. I will post "story 2" after this one. Does everybody
understand? This one is kinda funny. It's a little like the movie, but it's kinda different too.
My next one isn't going to be humorous. Ok? If you don't get it, email me at afgirl122@earthlink.net
and I'll explain it to you. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Scott anxiously stood up when he heard the door open. His heart sunk when he realized
who it was, or really who it wasn't.
He ignored the weird look the girl gave him as she walked by.
He then nervously looked at his watch. Shelby had been in Peter's office for seven
minutes now, for she had a phone call.
Scott was sure it was Shelby's mother on the phone, telling her she had to come home.
He balled up his fists at the thought. He was wasn't going to let her leave again. He
couldn't deal with that again.
The sound of the door opening interrupted Scott's thoughts.
The knots in his stomach tightened as he realized it was Shelby.
*Here it is, she's going home* he told himself.
Shelby just stared at him.
"Well?" Scott finally asked.
Shelby kept her straight gaze for a few moments then started laughing.
"What?" Scott asked, confused.
"Scott, chill. You look like you're about to have a heart attack," Shelby replied.
*How can I chill knowing you're gonna leave* Scott thought. He nervously ran his fingers
through his hair. "Who called, Shel?" he asked quietly.
To Scott's astonishment, Shelby's eyes lit up. "Oh! It was my dad!" she happily exclaimed.
Scott's eyes widened. "Walt? What did he say to you? I swear, if he said ONE thing..."
Shelby interrupted him. "No, Scott, my REAL dad."
Scott's expression softened. "Oh," he said, feeling better. "What did he want?" he
continued.
"He wants me to come him for a few days," Shelby explained.
Scott waited a few seconds for her to throw a chair across the room or start screaming
or SOMETHING, but she said nothing, a smile still visible on her face.
"You WANT to go?" he finally asked.
Shelby shyly looked at the floor. "Actually, yeah. I haven't seen him in a long time, and
I've missed him," she quietly replied.
Scott grinned.
She looked up to see Scott smiling. "What?" she asked.
Scott shook his head. "Nothing, I just thought that you were the type of person that would
hate visits with the parents," he said quickly, ready for Shelby to yell at him for misjudging
her.
But once again to his astonishment, Shelby smiled. "Yeah, well. My dad is an exception,"
she explained matter-of-factly.
Scott looked at her with amazement. He was finding out more and more about her every day.
"I told him about you, and he wanted you to come with me. But don't worry, I told him
you wouldn't want to." Shelby assured him.
There was a pause. "What if I WANT to go?" Scott asked seriously.
Shelby laughed. "Come on, Scott! You don't want to meet my parents." Her smile faded
when Scott kept his serious expression on his face. "Wait, you mean you WANT to meet
them?" she asked in disbelief.
Scott shrugged. "Yeah, I think it'd be cool to meet them," he replied.
Shelby raised her eyebrows. "You don't know my dad, Scott." she said in a serious tone.
"He's..." she trailed off for a minutem trying to think of a word to describe him. "Overprotective,"
she finally answered with a smile of satisfaction.
Scott shrugged once again. "I can handle it," he simply stated.
Shelby's smile widened. He was in for a ride. "If you really wanna go..."
Scott nodded.
"Okay," Shelby agreed. She couldn't believe this was happening. "But don't say I didn't
warn ya."
