Peter grabbed his sunglasses off the kitchen table and walked outside to his truck. Scott was waiting for him, propped up against the hood. Peter motioned for Scott to get in, and he did the same.
Scott: So you sent Sophie ahead so we could play 21 Questions again, huh?
Peter looked over at Scott and grinned
Scott rolled his eyes, knowing they were coming.
Peter: Let's go. We have to get you checked in.
He started the ignition and pulled out of the driveway…
Sophie walked into the Cliffhanger girls' cabin. Daisy was sitting on her bed looking at a magazine, the shower water was running, so Sophie assumed Juliete was taking a shower, because Shelby was still sleeping. Sophie smiled and walked over to Shelby…
Sophie: Get up!
She nudged Shelby on the shoulder, causing her to stir lightly
Sophie: We have group, Shelby
Daisy looked up from her magazine and smirked at Sophie
Daisy: *dryly* That's how you convince someone to get up…tell them we're about to have an emotional gathering of the dysfunctional adolescents…smooth move, Sophie
Sophie gave Daisy a have smirk and then focused her attention back on Shelby
Sophie: Group is in fifteen minutes Shelby, if you aren't there you are on kitchens for a week
Shelby rolled over and opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling
Shelby: *sarcastically* So I get to chose between emotional confrontations and kitchens…such a tough decision
Shelby rolled back over and closed her eyes
Shelby: I hope I get pots and pans
Daisy laughed at Shelby's remark, causing Sophie to throw her a stern look. Daisy rolled her eyes and began flipping through the magazine again…
Sophie: We have a new student coming today and you all will be there to welcome him
Shelby squirmed in her bed and got comfortable. She yawned and pulled her pillow tighter to her head
Shelby: Good.
Daisy laughed and looked up at Sophie
Daisy: She'll be there
Sophie nodded her head, giving Shelby one more glance, and then walked out of the room
Daisy looked over at Shelby and raised an eyebrow
Daisy: You can stop pretending now
Shelby rolled her eyes and sat up in bed
Daisy: *dryly* You take it as your duty in life to bug her don't you?
Shelby nodded her head as she stretched and got out of bed. Daisy looked back at her magazine…
Daisy: You're good at it…
Scott sat in Peter's truck, tapping at the seat nervously. They hadn't spoken yet, and Scott was getting more agitated by the second…
Scott: Just ask them all ready, I hate the silence treatment
Peter continued looking straight ahead and smiled to himself…it always worked
Scott: I want to be back in the Cliffhangers. I can't way to see them…
Scott ran a hand through his hair nervously…
Scott: And I'm looking forward to seeing Shelby again
He turned and looked out his window
Scott: Satisfied?
Peter nodded his head
Peter: Very…
Sophie walked up the steps to the boys' cabin and knocked on the door. She slightly opened it and took a step or two inside…
Sophie: Clear?
She heard Auggie from inside say 'yes', so she walked on in
David: Unless of course Ezra doesn't want you to see his Ninja Turtle slippers
Sophie smirked at David as she observed the room. It was clean, more so than the girls, and all the guys were dressed. She nodded her head in approval…
Sophie: Good guys
David smirked at her
David: We aim to please
Sophie rolled her eyes as she put her hands in her pockets
Sophie: Group in fifteen under the gazebo
Ezra furrowed his brow as he finished making his bed…
Ezra: Group this early? I haven't eaten yet
Auggie: Yeah man, and we don't like getting all emotional and junk on an empty stomach
Sophie rolled her eyes as she turned to leave the room
Sophie: Nice try guys, but there is a new student coming in today
David: A newbie…wonder if it is a she
Sophe shook her head
Sophie: 'Fraid not, there will be a new Cliffhanger guy
Ezra: *dryly* Great
Sophie smiled at them and began to walk out
Sophie: Fifteen minutes guys, don't be late
They watched as she left the room…
Auggie: Wonder what the newbie's story is
David leaned back on his bed and grabbed a book
David: Who cares, it's not a babe so it doesn't matter
Ezra and Auggie shook there head at David in disgust, and then began whatever they were doing before Sophie walked in…
Peter pulled up to Horizon and turned the ignition off. He looked over at Scott who was still nervously tapping on the seat…
Peter: Look man, I know this is hard for you, it will be hard for the Cliffhangers, too, but you guys will work through it.
Scott nodded his head, continuing to stare straight ahead
Peter: And as for your answers to the questions I never asked…
Peter opened his car door and put one leg out of the truck
Peter: Yes you will be a Cliffhanger, it hasn't been the same without you, and…
Peter rubbed a hand over the back of his neck
Peter: I can't speak for Shelby, you'll have to talk to her
Scott looked down at his hands and nodded his head
Scott: I know
He took in a deep breath as he opened the car door and stepped out of the truck…
"And I will too," he thought to himself determinedly.
