JW.CC. Week, Day 4.

“Oh Yeah! Who’s ready for this?” Kenji cheered as he flopped onto the couch.

The rest of the gang shared a look, then Darius stepped forward; “I don’t know man. Shouldn’t we be keeping watch?” It had been about 3 hours since Daniel and Cash had, debatably, captured them. ‘Debatably’ because Kenji saw nothing wrong with their current situation.

“You worry too much,” Kenji replied as he grabbed the remote.

“No, I’d say he’s worried just enough.” Yaz argued.

“We don’t know where Mae is and your dad just locked us in here.” Ben added.

“No, we know Mae is in the infirmary helping Peirce.” Kenji countered. “And he only locked us in here so the Brads can’t get us. Besides,” he gestured around the room, “this place is paradise! We have a kitchen full of snacks, two bedrooms, a T.V. and an actual bathroom! Man,” he held out his shirt, “we even got showers and washed our clothes! The Brads can’t come in here, and neither can dinos! We're completely safe in here!”

“It’s not the dinos we should be worrying about. . .” Darius said in a whisper, so no one could hear him. . . 

But Brooklyn did.

“You know what? I think Kenji might be right.”

Everyone, especially Kenji, was dumbfounded. “I am?”

“Well, sorta.” She walked to the front of the room so she could face all of them. “We’re locked in here anyway. As long as we keep the volume down so we can hear if the door opens, we should be fine. So,” she sat on the right side of the couch, Kenji to her left, “what do we want to watch?”

Soon, the whole group surrounded the T.V.; Brooklyn sat next to Kenji, Darius next to him, Kenji had one arm around each of them, Yaz sat in a green recliner, feet outstretched and wrapped in a blanket. Despite having another chair and more room on the couch, Ben sat criss-cross-apple-sause on the floor next to Yaz, Sammy laid on her stomach, a pillow under her on his other side.

Kenji had released the remote to Brooklyn, who scrolled through NetTube while they argued on what to watch. . . 

“Ooh, they have Spirit: Stallion of the cimarron! You guys would love that!” Sammy exclaimed.

“What about The Land Before Time! Or Dinosaur!” Darius suggested.

“No way, Dude! I’ve had enough dinos for a lifetime!” Kenji declared. “How to train your Dragon! How to train your dragon now please!” He begged as the title popped up.

“You're good with dragons but not dinosaurs?” Darius questioned.

“Yeah, because I’ve never had to run for my life from a dragon before!” He explained.

“Fair enough.”

“Homeward Bound seems appropriate for us.” Yaz said, “since we’re still trying to get there.” “Oh, we could binge watch Gilmore Girls.” Brooklyn said as she clicked on the show.

“No! Anything else please.” Kenji begged, “even the dinosaur movies.” “That's two for Dinosaur! Anyone else?” Darius asked, excitedly.

Then, to everyone’s surprise and delight, Ben said: “We could watch Esther Stone.”

The group burst out into cheers:

 “YES! YES! YES!” Sammy yelled.

 “Maybe there are new episodes?” Added Yaz. 

“I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner.” Brooklyn said as she searched for the show.

“We have to start from the beginning,” Kenji said, “because Darius has never seen it before.”

“What?”

“How is that possible?”

“Back to the classics, baby!” Brooklyn cheered, “found it!”

“Back when the only mystery was if Esther would go with Charles or Deagen to the  ‘Girls choice dance!’” Sammy said.

“Back when Bella was a villain,” Ben added.

“I can’t believe you haven't seen it yet, Darius.” 

“Honestly, I can’t believe all of you have,” Darius admitted. “Especially Ben and Kenji. I mean, isn’t it a girl show?” “NO!” Both boys yelled.

“Oliver Graham and Dante Mathews get their start in the original show, and they are the best duo ever!” Ben explained.

“And everyone can relate to someone in some way,” Kenji added.

“Not to mention the dark turn season three takes.” Ben said.

“Oh man,” Kenji smiled, “that ending though? I couldn’t believe it! Dude is gonna need a lot of therapy after that.” “Hey guys,” Yaz interrupted, “not to be rude, but maybe we should actually watch the show, then geek out over it.” 

“Yeah, now you guys have me excited,” Darius said.

“Well, in that case, welcome to the amazing world that is:” Brooklyn paused for dramatic effect, “Esther Stone!” She emphasized the moment by clicking play as she said it.

. . .

About halfway through the first episode, Kenji had turned his body a little sideways so he was leaning into Brooklyn, and his legs trapped Darius to the couch. 

“Do you mind?” Darius asked for the third time.

“No, not really,” Kenji said. “If it bothers you, feel free to move.”

“I’ve been trying for the last two episodes. You won’t let me up!” Darius argued.

“SH! This is my favorite part,” Brooklyn scolded them.

“You said that last time!” Darius protested.

“I can have multiple favorite parts.” Was her reply.

Darius struggled to get up again, but Kenji wouldn’t let him up. He sighed in defeat, and leaned against his best friend; He’d try again at the end credits.

. . . “Ben, would you stop hogging the popcorn?” Yaz demanded as she took the mostly empty bowl.

“Sorry, I’m a stress eater,” he explained.

“How is this scary?” She asked.

“If Darrel catches Esther and Deagen, they’ll be expelled!”

Yaz sighed. “Ben, you have faced down dinosaurs and Brads. You survived in a jungle for 6 months! And you know how this ends.”

“It’s still a tense scene,” he reasoned.

“Well, you ate the popcorn, you get more popcorn,” she explained.

“Ok, just after this scene.’

“Fine,” she agreed.

. . . A few hours later, Sammy got up, “I can’t believe they only have the first two seasons-” she was cut off by a ‘shushing’ sound. Fearing the worst, Sammy slowly turned around to see. . . 

Ben, now laying down, asleep, as was Yaz in her chair. Darius was also asleep. . .  

And so was Brooklyn. . . 

Kenji was trapped with his best friend on one side, his girlfriend on the other.

“What do I do?” He asked in a whisper.

“Oooooohhhh!” Was her response.

“Sammy?” He whisper shouted, “Help me, please?” He begged.

She smiled. “Ok, just wait here a minute.” She ran off to the bedrooms, and came back with blankets and pillows. She draped a blue one over the trio. “Need a pillow?” She teased.

“Yes please.” She gave him a gray one. “Thanks.”

“No problem.” She put a green blanket over Ben, and put a pillow next to his head.

“Hey,” She turned to look at Kenji, “thank you. And, could you maybe not tell the others about this. I do have a reputation to keep up.” He joked.

“Ok, but I think they’ll realize when they wake up like that.” She smiled’

Kenji’s face dropped. “No, no, no,” he began struggling to get up.

“Hey, move too much and they’ll wake up now.” He stopped moving instantly.

“Help me!” He begged one final time.

“Oh Kenj,” she smiled, “I already have.” With that, she took her pillow and laid down in her spot with the blanket. “Can you turn off the lights?”

He gave her a dead eyed stare, “fine.” He grabbed the remote and plunged the room into darkness.

. . . 

“And no funny business, Mister.”

“SAMMY!”

. . .

Can't wait to see what everyone has thought and made for this day !!!
