--------------------------------You're on Scare Tactics---------------------------------
Scott hated to fly. Period. Wouldn't you if your first experience in a plane ended with the loss of both parents. And even though he didn't show it, he hated flying the Blackbird but he put his feelings aside for the good of the team. The flight wasn't that bad, even the flight attendant was nice enough to give him extra peanuts. Scott didn't like flying but the man loved his peanuts.
"Scott!" Alex cheered running over to Scott who was exiting the airplane, "I'm Glad you could make it a day early, now we get to hang."
"I missed you little bro." Scott said hugging him.
Alex pushed him off. "Dude cut the mushy stuff; let's go home you look beat. How long was that flight nine hours?" He looked at his watch, doing the math. "Let's see, 7 pm plus nine hours equals…six am. Yep nine hours."
Scott noticed someone running up to them and put his hand on his shades.
"Scott, Chill brah," Alex said pulling Scott's hand away from his glasses. "that's just my bud Derek me and him bought this awesome beast, that's how we got here."
Derek was out of breath. "Hey Alex, hey guy standing next to Alex, I got lost."
"Yeah I was wonderin' what happened to ya."
"Those gift shops are confusing."
"I know."
Derek's eyes enlarged as if he recalled something. "Hey I just thought of something." He started to take a look around the terminal, "If these things are so safe, than why are they called terminals." He concluded staring at the sealing.
Scott rolled his eyes. "Deep."

"Ray what're you watching?" Jamie asked.
"Cartoons." he replied stupefied by the television.
"What cartoon?" Jamie asked, now sitting on the floor.
"Cartoons." Ray's tone or manner did not change.
"Ray," Roberto said entering and sitting in a chair, "are you watching that 'Ed, Edd, and Eddy' show again?"
"Yeah I can't help it, it's addictive plus there's a marathon of them on."
-
"This is your car?" Scott said making a face.
"Van." Derek couldn't help but interrupt.
"Yeah it's totally a sandbox I know, but we own it." Alex said hi-fiveing Derek.
-
Marc and Kitty walk in holding hands and sat on the sofa next to Ray.
"What's up guys?" Kitty asked.
"Watching TV." They said.
Marc released Kitty's hand and leaned towards the TV. "Hey 'Ed, Edd and Eddy' I love this show."
-
::Right Now I don't know what to say::
::Because you're mean and I never liked you any way::
Scott and Alex were lip-syncing "I Feel Fine" with radio; however Derek was, for reasons only he could comprehend, singing the lyrics to "Californication."
::Don't ever call cuz I don't wanna be friend::
::Excuse me now because the chorus is coming up again::
::1,2,-::
Derek abruptly turned off the radio by pounding the dashboard. "HEY!" Scott and Alex griped.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, guess what I just had?" He said ignoring their whines.
Scott mumbled, "Several pills?"
"I just had one of those epiphany-thingies." Derek said contently.
Alex looked excited. "Well don't leave us in the dark."
"Okay prepare yourselves for a real thinker." Derek warned pointing at his head, "Why do they have interstate highways on Hawaii if it's an island?" He asked dramatically.
Scott turned to Alex, "I don't feel safe with him driving." He whispered into his ear.
-
Kitty rolled her eyes. "Like, how long are you guys gonna sit here?"
::Buttered toast:: The sound came from the television.
Everyone laughed, ignoring Kitty.
Kitty slouched back and crossed her arms. "Men." She whined.
-
"We're here." Derek announced to the passengers.
"Finally." Scott grumbled holding his stomach.
"What's up brah, you getting car sick?" Alex asked.
Scott opened the door of the parked van and threw up.
Derek watched him with an amazed grin on his face. "Sweet."
-
Kitty, slouched back, arms crossed, was still whining in protest and they were still ignoring her.
"C'mon guys this is stupid." She stood and looked at the group, who reminded her of mindless zombies, "Sam? Ray? Jamie? Roberto? Marc?! Is anyone listening to me?!"
-
Alex helped Scott to his bed. "You don't look like you're gonna be able to get outta bed for the rest of the day Scott."
"I'm sorry I can't hang out with you today, but I'll be ready to watch you win first place tomorrow."
"Hey, it's cool just feel better man."
-
Kitty got an idea, if this didn't work nothing would. She crawled onto the couch, creeping closer to Marc. She gently kissed his cheek a few times and whispering something in his ear. Getting off the couch, she looked at Marc, no change.
"Hmmp!" She squeaked, crossing her arms and leaving the room.
"Hey wasn't Kitty here?" Jamie asked, about five minutes after Kitty left.
"No." Roberto shrugged, "But hey, is it just me do does that Eddy dude sound a lot like Ray?"
