A/N-This chapter is based off of the episode, 'Full Moon', uh, Julia had done a fashion show and didn't wear underwear under her dress and she uh, mooned the auidance and Mary Jo's daughter was dating a guy named Ben and that night, under a full moon, they went looking for them. They were arressted and this chapter is about Ben and the sergant. The show didn't give Ben a last name that I know of and they didn't name the sergant so what comes of their names is my own little invention, not the show.
10 years later, Ben Eccles had finished high school, college and had also just finished the police academy and for his first duty, he was put on night duty and Sergant Simpson went up to Ben and asked him, "Well, Ben, are you ready for your first night duty?" Ben who is clearly nervous and has to take a deep breath then says, "Yes sir"
Sergent Simpson goes over to his desk and picks up some papers then says, "Just be careful out there" Ben says, "Yes sir, thank you sir". Simpson looks around then says, "You do know that there's a full moon tonight" Ben looks at him quizzicallly then asks, "Sir?" Simpson smiles and picks up some folders then says, "A full moon..." He sits down then says, "Ever since about 10 years ago...some women were arressted on a night of a full moon...one of them had a pig...ever since then I took close attention to how night's of full moon; the crazies really come out. You'll see, it's true...oh, I know some don't think that's true but I have been doing some studies and well, you'll see" Ben thinks on that then thinks he just better agree then says, "Yes sir" and Simpson says, "You might not think it's true but you'll see"

Later that night, about 11 o'clock, Ben is in his patrol car with his partner and they share a box of doughnuts when the radio crackles on and a 911 operator tells them where they need to go to and Ben asks, "WHERE?" She repeats it and Ben looks at his partner and they go.
10 minutes later, they open a door with their guns cocked and ready and they see a room full of people down on the floor with blood running all over their faces and down from their mouths and they look like zombies and they have either dead or live squirming RATS in thier hands and Ben looks around in amazment. A HUGE sewer rat in in a cage and he looks at his partner and sighs.
{
A few hours later, they are called to a neighborhood where a angry person is met outside on the lawn in his green pajamas and Ben asks, "Where is the disturbance sir?" The man angerily scoffs then says, "It's more than a disturbance, it's a stupid, downright menace but he's over here" Ben and his partner go around the corner of the house and Ben holds up a flashlight and it shines on a scrutched over man covered in boy hair and baying at the moon. Ben's eyes POP out.
{
Another few hours later, Ben and his partner are going thorough a building and they are being as quiet as they can be but then his partner steps on a board and they next thing they know, the hallway is flooded with dogs of all shapes and sizes, all breeds, pure and mutt barking and yapping and knocking over Ben and his partner and Ben screams, "How did this happen?" His parntner yells out, "This is a research lab at this college...somebody must have let them loose" The next thing they see and hear is men and women running down the hallway in the opposite direction and they look at each other and then run off after them.
{
Later at the police station, Ben comes in and he flops down in a chair and Sergant Simpson walks by , smiles then says, "What happened?" Ben looks up at him then says, "I won't ever doubt you on the full moon myth...let me tell you" Ben relates the whole nightmare of a story to him as the full moon goes to the other side of the world and the morning sun comes up.
A/N-Please read and review.
Let me clarify, these stories as well as the 'The life of the Golden charcters' are BASED on the shows of Designing Women and Golden Girls. I actually got a review from someone complaining that she has never seen these epidodes!
