Two weeks later…
"Good morning!" Scott greeted everyone cheerily, while jumping down the stairs. "Did everyone sleep well?" He pulled out a chair, grabbed a plate and sat down. Gazing around the table he tried to decide what he would have for breakfast. Finally he decided on cereal and after filling a bowl, he started munching, a smile still visible on his face.
"Wow you sure are happy this morning…" Ziggy said. "What's going on? Were the new parts for your car delivered in the mail or something?" He was always the cheery morning person, Scott was the one with a bad mood in the morning. He was really, really curious what had brought that on.
"Nothing my friend, I am just happy! Look out of the window! The sun is shining; it is a beautiful day today! No reason for me not to be happy!" He finished his cereal and washed up the bowl. Then he walked over to his car, leaving Ziggy and Flynn (who had also been there, having breakfast) staring at each other bewildered.
"Mhmm I wonder what is going on with him…" Ziggy said, while giving Flynn a questioning look. "I have no idea, lad. But I intend to find out." Flynn said, while standing up. "I bet I can get it out of him, I have just the right skills for it…"
He walked over to where Scott was looking under the hood of his car. Flynn tried to see what he was looking at, but nothing seemed wrong, or seemed to need being looked at. 'Wow the lad really seems to have lost it…' He thought to himself, before speaking up.
"Aye mate, hou's it gaun?" Flynn said, while petting the car. "Ye seem kind of outta it?"
Scott snapped out of his daze and replaced his dreamy expression for a serious one this time. "Honestly Flynn… I have no idea and yet I do?"
Flynn blinked a few times before speaking up; "Ehh I don't get it…" he said, while scratching the back of his head.
"Last night, Summer and I went for a bike ride in the forest by the lake, and we sat down there and talked for, like, hours. After that we went home, but when I went to bed I had this freaky dream about the previous night, only…" He trailed off. He wasn't sure if he should tell Flynn. Sure, Flynn was a really good friend of his, and if it hadn't concerned Summer, he would have told him. But this was about Summer, and he couldn't risk it, for the team's sake… But it was probably best if he talked to someone about it… Dreams meant nothing, right?
"Come on, mate! Ye can tell me!" Flynn said while giving Scott a friendly pat on the back.
"I had a dream…" Scott started. "I relived last night, the entire night. Only it was different, there were developments…" He hesitated.
When Scott didn't continue, Flynn gave him an exasperated look.
"It's just that… It was so realistic! I am not even sure if I was dreaming or if that is what actually happened anymore..."
"Scott!" Flynn yelled in his ear.
"Woah" Scott snapped out of the daze he had yet again fallen in to. "IsleptwithSummer" he spoke up so fast that it took Flynn a few minutes to understand what he'd just said, and then another few moments to convince himself that he had really heard what he thought he had heard.
"What..?" He whispered. He was at a loss of words.
"Come on Flynn. Say something to me, man. I'm losing it over here." Scott said.
"This is what ye dreamt, right? I mean, that didn't happen for real, did it? Tell me it didn't!" Flynn begged him.
I'm pretty sure it happened in my dream, but then I woke up this morning and I started thinking and, I mean, Summer and me, we've been spending so much time together lately…"
Flynn stared at him, still in shock and still not quite comprehending what was going on. "Ye have a crush on Summer?" He stameled.
"I, no. I mean, we used to be so close and all, nah, I can't have a crush on her, can I?"
Flynn had somehow managed to composed himself and now turned to Scott. "Listen man, I know it used to be just us. Me, you and Summer. We were a great team, and very close. But it all changed when Dillon and Ziggy turned up. And I know that you always had a weak spot for Summer, and that you guys were really close, and I also know that it changed when Dillon came into the picture. But what makes ye think things'll work out different now? It was just us three for months, if something was supposed to happen, it would have happened, wouldn't it?"
Scott looked away. "I don't know man, I mean, we've been spending so much time together lately, and well, Dillon has been gone for 2 weeks now! He isn't coming back and I bet she realizes that. Maybe she also thinks it's time to move on?"
"I doubt it. They were close, lad." He sighed and continued; "I think ye better forget about this for now, and definitely don't try anything with Summer!"
"Yeah, I suppose. Maybe the events of the last couple of months are taking their toll on me? Maybe I need a break… anyways, don't you tell anything to another living soul! I promise you, if you do, you are dead!" He poked Flynn in the shoulder, trying to make it clear to him that he wasn't kidding.
"Aye, as long as things in this team don't change, I don't want things to become weird between yerself and Summer. But I'm keeping an eye on things. Just so ye know."
