willowwacks: a wooded, uninhabited area.

Matt stopped in the middle of a clearing, quite a walk from the farmhouse they were staying in. "We've gotta be far enough away now."

"No, we're not. Someone could still see."

"Stop stalling and just do it."

"I can't do it here, Matt."

"Why not? There's no one around," he insisted, pointing out the trees surrounding them. There was nothing else there, no squirrels, no birds, and most importantly, no people.

Arms crossed in front of her, Maxie answered, "I shouldn't have to do it at all."

"You never should have bet that you could beat me at Operation," he replied, reminding her of why they were there in the first place. He made no effort to hide his grin. "That's a fool's bet if I ever heard one."

Maxie huffed. It was his attitude and arrogance that had goaded her into taking his bet, even though she knew better. All the talk about what a fantastic surgeon he was, how he'd known as a child when he mastered Operation and decimated all the kids in the neighborhood. How was she supposed to resist that? She couldn't and she didn't and now here she was in the middle of the goddamn woods. "This is seriously not fair."

"Hey, the bet never said anything about privacy, but I went along with your demand to come all the way out here. You should be happy you don't have to do it around the other people at the house."

"Whatever. Fine." There was no point in arguing with him about it. She uncrossed her arms and took her time brushing random flecks of dirt and leaves from her jeans. How she managed to constantly get herself into these ridiculous situations, she would never figure out.

"Anytime today…" Matt merely smiled in the face of her scowl and leaned back against one of the trees to enjoy the show. He had a feeling it would be worth her first day complaints about the trip, her exaggerated pouting when she lost, and the entire walk into the woods from the house. And she never had to know that he'd actually had to concentrate on the game to make sure he won.

"Shut up! I said I would do it." With a deep breath, Maxie closed her eyes and, in doing so, missed Matt reach into his pocket. She tried telling herself that it would only take a couple minutes. The sooner she started, the sooner it was over with. She bent her arms, fists at her waist, and begin chanting, "How funky is your chicken, how funky is your chicken…"

She barely finished the embarrassing routine with the caboose section when Matt gave up the battle with his laughter. Hand across his stomach, he slid down the tree, cackling the whole way to the ground. He didn't even mind the pile of leaves Maxie threw at him when she stomped off to begin her walk back to the house. Small price to pay for that endless piece of entertainment. He'd checked his phone to make sure the video was clear and chuckled again.

Best vacation ever.

A/N 2: I don't know where this came from! As soon as I saw the word, this scene popped into my head and I started laughing. For those who don't know, the cheer she's doing is from the Buffy movie. If you search "buffy movie funky chicken," you should be able to watch it.
