The Woodsman

Hey! Well I decided sometime to write another Wallflowers story. I've done some and they've appeared in the Sweetest Evil page. Here's another one to add to my collection. Enjoy!

***The guys have just ended their mini-tour consisting of many fairs along with other shows. They sit in Rami's living room chatting about the things they're planning to.***

Jake: Well it's about time we got some time off to rest.

Mike: Don't get too comfortable, we have to start working on the next album.

Rami: (puffing a cigar) Yeah were gonna have to start that sometime. So what are you guys planning to do during this little break?

Jake: Get plenty of sleep!

Mike: Hehe! You know what I was thinking?

Rami: Whoa watch out guys. Mike's been brainstorming!

**They begin to laugh**

Mike: AS I WAS SAYING, what do you all think if we go out camping?

Greg: Wow that's a good idea. I haven't gone camping since I was little.

Mario: Yeah it sounds like fun.

Rami: Yeah and Jake can have a decent excuse to wear that flannel shirt he wore on the "Ashes to Ashes" video! (begins to laugh)

**They all begin to chuckle**

****They make all the plans and preparations for their big adventure. Time passes by and the departure day arrives.****

**Door bell rings**

Jake: Paige can you get that??

Paige: Sure (opens door) Hey Greg! You're right on time, come on in!

Greg: Thanks but I'll stay out here...

Jake: Hey man, you're here on time. Where's your luggage? Wait I'm even afraid to ask.

Greg: (in a shy manner) It's outside.

***Paige and Jake look outside***

Jake: Think you've got everything there?

Greg: Hey I just brought the stuff I'm going to use!

***A big van pulls up to Jake's drive way. Rami get's out of the drivers side and Mike and Mario get out of the van as well.***

Rami: So is everyone ready? (rubbing his hands together)

Mike: Whoa don't tell me that's just Greg's luggage??

Greg: (defensively) Hey I only brought the necessary stuff you know!

Mike: Looks more like if you brought the necessary stuff for a whole army there!

***Rami and Mario begin to chuckle***

Greg: Fine lets see who gives you toilet paper or Lysol when you're out there!!

****They begin to load Greg's mountain load of luggage and Jake's luggage as well. Mike insists on driving and they take off. There was somewhat of a conversation at the beginning of the trip but after that, they begin to get bored.****

Rami: Man I want a cigar!

Mike: No way! Not in here!

Greg: Well can we stop? I really need to go to the restroom.

Jake: Yeah I need to stretch a little. My back is starting to hurt.

Mike: We're almost there!

***A bit of time passes by***

Mario: Are we there yet??

Rami: I'm bored!

Greg: I need to go to the restroom!

Mike: Alright alright quiet down back there! I'll take out my biking audio tapes if you keep it up!

***A dead silence came upon the van***

Mike: Lets see what can we do... Oh I know! 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, everyone now!

***After an hour of Mike's singing they finally arrive at the camp***

Greg: (struggling to get out of the van and unfastening his belt) Move!! My bladder's about to burst! (Runs to a tree)

Rami: (Chuckling) When you gotta go, you gotta go! Hehehe (prepares to light up a cigar)

Mike: Don't even think about it! (snatching the cigar) We don't want Smokey the Bear behind our asses.

Rami: That's just great!

Mario: I'll start unloading the luggage.

***They start to unload luggage and look through his bag. Meanwhile Greg comes back after answering nature's call***

Mario: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Jake: (running to the rear of the van) What? What's wrong?!

Mario: (scratching his head) I forgot to pack my gel bottle! How am I gonna brush my hair now?

Jake: You'll never change Mario.

Mike: What's wrong?

Mario: (with puppy eyes) I forgot to bring my gel bottle.

Mike: Well you're gonna have to go on without it my boy. Wait, you know I was watching this documentary the other day and it was showing how to make pastes out of leaves. I'm sure I can whip up a paste so you can put on your hair.

****They all look at Mike in amazement****

Mike: What? It's true! I'll go get the leaves (goes off collecting leaves)

Greg: Just when you thought you knew a person.

****Jake, Rami and Greg start to build their tents while Mario is still unloading stuff****

Mario: NOOO!!!

Rami: Now what??

Greg: He probably forgot his brush.

***The trio begins to chuckle***

Jake: What's wrong now?

Mario: Ok who was supposed to pack the food?

Rami: Hey don't look at me! Mike was the one in charge of that.

Greg: Why what's wrong?

Mario: Well Mike forgot to pack the food!

Jake: What??

***Mike goes up to the guys with a bundle of leaves***

Mike: (setting the leaves on the ground) These should do. (turns towards the guys) Whoa you guys looked pissed! What happened?

Greg: You forgot to pack the food!

Mike: (all pale) Sh*t!! I knew I was forgetting something!!

Rami: What are we gonna do now?! Chew on bark??

Mike: Shh!!! Quiet let me think...........I know we can hunt!

***They all look at him as if he's kidding***

Mike: Yeah I rememebr watching how these people on this island were left stranded and they survived by hunting.

Jake: How do you expect us to go hunting if we don't even have the roper equipment or anything?

Mike: Just bring me some sturdy branches and I'll solve our problem.

***They had no choice. They had driven half a day to get to the camp and there was no way they were gonna head back for nothing. They went out and began to gather big sturdy branches and brought them to the expert.***

Mike: Luckily I brought my swiss army knife (muttering)

***Mike with care starts to cut off the irregular parts of the branch with his knife. The scene could have been mistaken for a McGuyver episode. An hour passed and he was finally finished.***

Mike: (proudly) Behold your hunting gear!!

***They all look at Mike and each other***

Mario: Spears??

Mike: Yeah we'll go hunting with these (starts to hand each of the guys a spear)

Greg: (looking at the spear) Mike the woodsman!

Rami: Should we take off our shirts and pants cover ourselves with mud and roam around the camp with underwear and spears??

***Mike guides them through the forest. They finally get in deep enough into the forest and they are on the look out for their dinner***

Mike: Shh!! There's one right there!

Rami: What is it?

Mario: (squinting his eyes) It's.....a rabbit.

***They were too far away, so they decided to get closer***

Mike: Ok Rami, let him have it!

Rami: I can't!

Mike: What do you mean you can't?!?

Rami: It's so small and cute. I can't eat that!

Mike: (loudly) It's survival of the fittest!! Now go get us dinner!!

***The rabbit hears Mike and runs off***

Mike: (angry) SH*T!!!!!

Jake: So much for dinner.

Mario: Maybe we can go fishing at the lake over there (pointing at the lake)

Mike: (ticked off) Ok ok lets go!

***They walk on over to the lake carrying their spears***

Mike: Ok when you guys see the fish, just let it have it with the spear.

Rami: Come on does fishing with a spear really work??

Greg: I've only seen it in movies....

Mike: (interrupting Greg) Of course it's gonna work. Lets just start!

***The guys take their shoes off and go into the cold lake with their spears. They cautiously look around for fish. Soon you could hear water splattering everywhere as the guys tried to fish***

Mario: I got one!!

Greg: Hey me too!

***Rami and Jake followed a bit later. They continued to fish until they saw they had enough food for everyone. Then they decided to call it a day and headed back to the camp.***

Rami: Wow I can't believe we caught so many fish with a spear!

Greg: It was kind of fun actually.

Jake: Yeah but MIKE doesn't look too happy over there.

Mario: I guess it's cause he didn't catch anything.

Mike: Shut up!! (defensively)

***They begin to chuckle***

****They finally arrive at the camp and begin a fire. They put the fish on sticks and put them over the fire to cook.***

Mike: This tastes like sh*t!!

Rami: Yeah it could use a little seasoning.

***They all finish eating and begin to prepare themselves for bed. They all go to their tents and slip into their warm sleeping bags for a night's worth of rest.***

Mike: You know, it wasn't very bad going out and hunting and stuff.

Jake: Yeah. (in a sleepy and annoyed voice)

Mike: I guess it felt good being out in the open and hunting your own food....

Rami: Mike??

Mike: Yeah?

Rami: Be quiet and go to sleep!!

Mike: Fine!

***Mike puts out the fire and turns off the lamps. They all begin to sleep when all of the sudden a noise was heard.***

Mario: What was that? (concerned)

Greg: Got to sleep!

Mario: No I heard somethng over there.

Rami: Your dreaming go back to sleep.

***Mario lies awake in his sleeping bag thinking of what it could be. He can't sleep now with the thought that there's something out there. Then the noise was heard again and it gets closer and closer....***

Mike: What's that?

Mario: See I told you all I heard something!

***The bushes start to move***

Mike: I'm gonna check it out.

***Takes a spear and a lamp***

Jake: Be careful. There might be bears around here!

***Mike bravely takes off***

Greg: We should have gone with him.

***A loud sound is heard followed by Mike's scream***

Rami: MIKE!!!!

***No response. A dead silence was all that can be heard***

Mario: It got Mike!

***The sound was heard again but now even closer to the camp***

Jake: Ok guys take your spears and get in position!

***They all get out of their sleeping bags and stand in a circle back to back with their spears***

Greg: It's coming!!

***Tension builds up and then the creature comes out of what seemed nowhere***

Rami: What is that??

Jake: I can't make it out. It's too dark. Mario put up the lamp!!

***Mario moves the lamp***

Greg: It's....it's.......Mike??

Rami: What?!!

Mike: Look, I ruined perfectly good PJs!!

Mario: We thought that whatever that was had gotten you and it was coming after us.

Mike: (laughing) Oh you sure do look hilarious standing back to back in underwear and holding a spear!

***The guys now noticed that they didn't even put their pants on and quickly go to the tents to put them on***

Rami: Very funny. So why did you scream? What was that noise??

Mike: Oh I was checking things out and I didn't see this big hole and I fell. You know what that noise was? It was this!

***Mike shows it to them***

Jake: The rabbit you wanted Rami to kill??'

Mike: Yeah! (petting it)

Greg: (laughing) All of this over a little rabbit?!

Jake: Well I think we've all had enough excitement for a day. Lets hit the sack!

***They all agree and head on over to their tents***

Mike: You know I'm gonna keep the rabbit. It's kind of.....cute. Yep there's nothing like the outdoors!!

All: Go to sleep!!

Mike: Alright alright. I get the hint!

***They all fall fast asleep***
