Pura Vida (part 2)


*********************** Shelby's physical **********************

Doctor: Well, again everything seems to be fine. With the exception of a few love bites, perhaps.

Shelby: Now, can I go?

Sophie: Not yet, Shelby. I want to talk about your newfound closeness with Scott.

Shelby: Did you just ask me if I was having sex with him? That's lame.

Sophie: I know. But I want you to realize that just because you love someone, that love is not an obligation.

Shelby: Okay, okay. So now its my turn: did you wait with Peter?

Sophie: Shelby! Just remember the rules here at Horizon, okay?

Shelby (to herself): I'll take that as a yes.
(to Sophie): Fine. Can I go now?

Sophie: Yes, and send Daisy in.

********************************************************************


Meanwhile, the cliffhanger boys were also receiving their physicals. At the beginning, however Peter had to break up a little shoving between David and Auggie.

Peter: Okay guys. Let's try to get through these physicals without anymore shoving. Got it?

David & Auggie: Yeah, we got it.

Peter: Good. Now David you will be first.



***************** David's physical ***********************

Doctor: Well, you seem fit except for the bruises due to all the fighting.

Peter: David, you must learn more self-control, or one day someone will come along who will really hurt you badly. Do you want to get hurt?

David: Hey, I thought this was the physical, not the evaluation.

Peter: Fine, but we'll talk later. Now go get Ezra.

*****************David leaves the office.******************

David (walks out and sees Ezra sitting at the pinic table): Oh Ezra! Ezra Freak-skin! Someone finally wants you!

Ezra: Ha. Ha. Your futile attempts to annoy me are pathetic now that I have Daisy. So run along and pick a fight somewhere else, David. (Ezra begins to leave).

David: Anything for you Ezra, dear. But don't count me out with Daisy…I have yet to use my devilish charm upon her.

Ezra: The key word being "devil."

Peter (yelling from his office): Hey guys! What is taking so long?

Ezra: Nothing! I'm coming!


******************** Ezra's Physical ************************

Doctor: Everything looks okay. Your throat and esophagus appear to have healed nicely. Hopefully there won't be a repeat performance with poisoning.

Ezra: Not likely.

Peter: Why so quiet Ezra?

Ezra: Oh, just girl troubles.
(under his breath) Something you probably never had to worry about.
(to Peter) Can I go?

Peter: Yes, but remember we still have evaluations this afternoon after lunch.




***********************************************************************

Next time: I promise to finish the physicals.
