S.C.A.N Meeting – Third Meeting

 

The guys from one of Lu's stories.

 

Stars:  Orin Travis, Chris, Nathan, Buck, Josiah, JD, Ezra, Vin (in no particular order)

 

 

Judge Orin Travis sat down in his chair and looked around the circle at the members of the support group.  "I see even Ezra arrived on time to this S.C.A.N meeting," he said with a smile.

 

"I wouldn't have missed this meeting for the world, Mr. Travis," answered Ezra, using his hand to remove invisible dust from his expensive suit.

 

"Who would like to speak first?"

 

A young man with short dark-brown hair stood up to speak; "She's been making stuff happen to me for ages: I fell down a hole into a dark cave and hurt my leg, then she scared me 'cause Buck shined a light down and told me there's a skeleton, and I didn't wanna end up like him.  So then she sends us through a tunnel 'cause that was in the direction of the idol we had to go and find.  Only it wasn't - she sent us into a trap on purpose!  We got chased back the way we came by a load of giant eagles!"

 

A dark-skinned man wearing a smart suit stood up; "Hey, what about me then?  She made me full of courage and sent me into the stream before you fell down that hole.  I nearly got eaten alive by some creature with huge teeth - I was lucky to just get a few bites.  Do you want to see the ones that are still there?"  The man started to unbuckle his trousers' belt.

 

"Nathan, don't!" ordered the blond man of the group.

 

Nathan re-buckled his belt.

 

"Then we got captured by some bad guys, who wanted the idol just so they could sell it for lots of money!" said the young dark-haired man, becoming quite furious by now.  "She musta thought we hadn't suffered enough though, 'cause then she sent this tiger which scared off all the bad guys, but it looked like it was gonna eat us."

 

"It was tame though because it licked me," said the blond man, nervously watching the other man to make sure he didn't try to show everyone his scars.

 

"Be quiet, she went easy on you," complained the young man angrily.

 

"She made me refuse to invite my holiday romance back to my house - broke the woman's heart and mine!" shouted the blonde standing up and walking around the room.

 

"Mr. Larabee, it clearly wouldn't have worked out - you and the woman were entirely different from each other," said a man with short medium-brown hair, and wearing a designer suit.

 

"I thought I was going to be spared from any suffering, but then she decided to make me fall over and hurt my leg," joined in the oldest member of the group from his seat.

 

Another man with long brown hair stood up; "What about me?  I got bitten by a snake - could've been poisonous."

 

"It was a story full of tragedies from the moment she started writing it.  How about we finish this meeting now and go for a drink.  Maybe Inez'll be there," said the dark-haired member of the group who hadn't spoken until then.

 

"I need several drinks..." started JD.  "No, I didn't mean that - she's putting words into my mouth!"

 

The other six in the group started to laugh evilly.

 

The End - for now!
