Chapter One

Phil walked into his house to the scream of a children. "Daddy!"

"Hey Kiddos, how has your day been?" Phil went down on his hunches as a 8 year old boy and a 4 year old girl jumped on him.

"Momma took me to the zoo and I saw monkeys and elephants and tigers!" The 4 year old squealed.

"Don't remind me of the tigers Georgie." Phil smiled, remembering Doug's stag do in Vegas a few years ago. "What did you do Eli?"

"I learnt about Earth, it was quite boring as I already knew it all." Eli crossed his arms and yawned.

"That's my boy." Phil looked proudly onto his two children when he looked up to see Stephanie leaning against the kitchen door frame. He stood up and walked to the blonde and kissed her full on the mouth, to the disgust of their children.

"Alan's been calling all day for you Phil, I think you should talk to him, he sounds a bit excited." Stephanie's green eyes gleamed with annoyance remembering the fifty times the frantic man had called the house, she had to go the zoo to get away.

"I know, he's been trying on my cell phone too." Phil's hand wiped sweat from his brow, he now ran from work to home to keep his toned body up due to the myth of middle ageing. "I'm going to take a shower first, then I promise I'll call him." At that moment the phone rang and the couple both stared at the number on the screen. Alan. "I'll be quick."

Half an hour later, Phil was by the phone, walking up and down the hallway waiting for the phone to ring. He had been sent straight instructions that Alan will call. The phone rang. Phil wondered if he should answer or not. What the heck he thought. Picking up the phone, he said "Hello Alan."

He was answered with an "Alan what do you want now!" and "Not again." Phil squinted his eyes.

"Doug, Stu? What the fuck!"

"Phil? Has he been ringing up you aswell?" Stu's voice rang out from the reciver.

"Yep all day the wanker."

"I am right here you know." Came a load voice, which the three men could easily tell was Alan's.

"What do you want?" Doug asked politely, as he knew they had to talk carefully with this big bearded man.

"Can't a guy like me want to talk to the wolf pack? Well except you Doug, but if you keep the promise, I bet us other wolves will allow you in."

"Alan, I've got to say goodnight to the kids, will you just let us know what your problem is." Phil exclaimed impatiently.

"Problem? There is no problem, do you call marriage a problem these days?"

"What!" Three voices shouted down the phone.

"Didn't you know? It's been in the papers for ages! I'm getting married and I want you guys to come to my stag weekend, it's going to be an amazing super dooey few days!."

A sound like a wimpy sigh came from one of the phones. Stu had fainted.
