Bickering
It was one of those days when all you wanted to do was run for shade and drink all you could. However, seeing as they were running out of bottles of water, someone needed to trek out to get some. They tried as hard as they could to avoid Jack, but he found them. As Shannon, Boone and Hurley were doing nothing, they were given the job of hiking across to the caves to fill some water bottles and bring them back for the other survivors to drink. Of course, Shannon thought that she shouldn't have to do anything except get a good tan, so Boone and Hurley had some persuading to do. To get her to come along, they offered that she wouldn't have to carry any of the bottles and she would get an extra one to drink. They had to get her to come and as apparently she was getting in the way back at the beach, and annoying everyone.
They were half way to the caves, and both Hurley and Shannon were puffing and breathing heavily as they walked. A question had been burning at the back of Hurley's mind for a while, and he just had to ask. He approached Shannon warily.
"Hey, um…" Shannon gave him a glare as he began, and was slightly put off. "How are you out of breath? I mean, you're in good shape." Hurley's breathing was slowing down as they all decreased their paces.
"Thanks for noticing." Shannon smiled at him.
"She's thin because she doesn't eat, not because she exercises." Boone scoffed.
"Hey, I used to dance." Shannon glared at him.
"'Used to'". Boone emphasised the 'used' in his reply.
"Well, what do you do, Mr. Exercise?" She retorted.
"I work out." He replied, somewhat smugly.
"With what, bananas?" She laughed.
"I'm surprised you know what bananas are, Miss Anorexia."
"I'm surprised you know, pea-brain!" Shannon's voice was getting sharper.
"Oh, peas now! Don't stretch yourself!" Boone laughed to himself.
"Well, I'm doing more stretching than you ever do!"
"Oh really? When do you stretch? During you manicure?" He mocked.
"At least I don't go out in public looking like I've been dragged through a bush backwards!" She snapped.
"I've never met someone more backwards than you." He sighed.
"Well-" She began, but Hurley cut her off.
"Dudes, please, shut up."
Shannon and Boone grinned at each other, genuinely. They lived for these 'fights'. It was their way of saying, "I love you" without actually showing affection.
