"The O.C. Vs. The Whammy"
by D.F. Williams
Chapter 1: The Difference Between Ryan Atwood And A Beautiful Young Woman A young, yet troubled man, Ryan Atwood, is looking to get away from all the drama and really have fun. His friends were watching Press Your Luck.
"I'm going to pass that spin!" Melissa said, excitedly. She was a four-day champion.
"Ever heard of Alexis Hurst?" Marissa asked. "She won $60,000+ in five games. But I don't think Melissa's going to make it that far."
"Think like Jeff Hardy! What would you do if you won five games and had to retire?" Marissa asked.
"I've never been on the show, but I'd like to win." Ryan replied. "And WHO is Jeff Hardy, anyway?"
"That's not important." Marissa said. A few minutes later, Luke arrived.
"I don't know how Melissa seems to win despite three whammies." Luke said. Just when he said that, Melissa's opponent in Studio 32 whammied on a spin. A deep groan sounded. The lights around the whammy space went red.
"Stop at a Whammy!" said Peter. A whammy, dressed up as Jeff Hardy, was playing electric guitar. At the end of the distracting noise, Whammy was electrocuted. Melissa burst out laughing. The audience did the same.
"Now we know what Jeff Hardy is really up to!" Peter said. The audience laughed. "Well, Jack, you can press your luck or pass."
He continued to press his luck. He beat Melissa on the final spin by two dollars. His total: $19,383.
"Thank God Melissa is gone!" Marissa said.
"I kinda liked her." Ryan said.
"I don't think she'll ever go out with you." Luke said. "Did you ever hear that Good Charlotte song, Ryan?"
"That is NOT true what they say. Girls do NOT only like cars and money!" Marissa said. "Whoever wrote that is crazy."
"They just want to have fun." Julie said. "It's not that they're trying to distract men."
"Oh." Luke said.
"Do you think Ryan would do good on Press Your Luck?" Marissa asked.
"I think so." Luke said. "Besides, what is there to distract Ryan? Another female opponent?"
"I hope not." Marissa said. "We can watch him avoid the Whammy in the audience."
And so, they were going home. Everyone went to bed. At night, Ryan dreamed about being on the show.
"And.STOP!" Ryan screamed.
"Stop at a Whammy! Courtney, you did it!" Peter said. Ryan had to feel humiliated that he lost to a young woman. At the end, everyone was fighting over whose fault it was for making Ryan lose. And then, Ryan woke up. It was 4:30 in the morning.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!" he screamed.
