Behind the Scenes-A Whose Line Fanfic

Back to Work

I woke up feeling confused.  Colin was sleeping on a couch.  "Where am I?" I mumbled.  He jolted awake.  "You're in the hospital.  It's the middle of the night.  The others had to leave because visiting hours are over," Colin explained.  "Oh," I stated before closing my eyes and falling asleep once more.

The room was filled with sunlight when I woke up again.  "How are you feeling?" Colin asked.  "I feel really good," I answered pleasantly surprised.  "That's great.  Maybe you'll get released today," Colin replied.  A nurse walked into the room with a small tray of breakfast.  "Do you feel up to eating?" she asked.  "I think so," I answered.  The nurse did some quick tests while I ate my breakfast slowly.  "Your fever broke so that's a great sign.  I think there's a great chance of you being discharged," she said.  I smiled.  The doctor walked confidently into the room.  "How are you feeling today?" he grinned.  "I feel really good.  It's easier to breathe and my stomach doesn't feel as bad today," I answered.  The doctor examined my heart, lungs, temperature, and stitches.  "You look good to me.  The stitches are healing nicely and your temperature is back to normal.  I say you can leave the hospital after you finish eating," he stated.  "Thanks for everything," Colin and I said shaking his hand.  "You're welcome!  Stay healthy," the doctor replied leaving the room.  "It's great that you can leave," Colin said.  "I know.  Staying in the hospital is quite boring," I stated.  He laughed.  The nurse took my empty tray and Colin left the room so I could change out of my hospital gown and into regular clothes.  Even though I was finally out of the hospital gown, I still looked pretty awful.  I walked out of the room and we went to the parking lot.  Colin's phone rang.  "Hello?  I'm sorry to hear that.  I'll ask her," he answered putting down his phone for a second.  "Do you feel up to performing today for the show.  Wayne just called in sick," Colin informed.  "I should be able to do it," I replied.  He let Drew know that I could perform and we rushed to the studio.

We got there quickly and ran into the studio.  I put on a new outfit consisting of jean capri pants, a gray tank top, a turquoise and gray striped sweater, and matching light green flats.  The stylists helped me with my hair and applied some makeup to make me look a little more like myself when I'm healthy.  I got my microphone set up and I was ready to rock and roll.  "It's nice to see you looking better," Greg said shuffling into my dressing room.  "The stylists put some makeup on so I look healthier but I feel good," I stated.  "That's great.  There's a special guest today but Drew wouldn't tell any of us," he informed.  "That's pretty exciting," I agreed.  We walked out to the stage.  Ryan gave me a hug.  "I hope you're not going back to performing too quickly after having the operation," he said with concern in his voice.  "I should be fine.  I won't hold back noticeably but I'll be careful," I promised.  We sat down in our spots.  I was between Greg and Colin.  The audience filled the studio seats and we began filming.

We played Newsflash, Multiple Personalities, Moving People, and Living Scenery.  "The last game we'll play tonight is living scenery which will involve Ryan, Colin, Jennifer, and our special guest Richard Simmons.  The scene is that Ryan and Colin are on a luxury cruise liner with a day of sunbathing, water sports, and entertainment.  Take it away," Drew instructed.  "This is the most romantic trip we have ever been on being your wife," Ryan said.  "Why don't we look at the scenery through the little telescopes they have?" Colin suggested.  Richard got face to face with Colin.  "This one wants more coins," Colin observed laughing.  Ryan and I cracked up.  "I saw something funny," Ryan stated trying to cover up his inability to keep a straight face.  "Why don't we get out the deck chairs.  You get the shiny one," Colin said referring to Richard.  Richard and I sat down and spread our legs.  Colin was in front of me.  Richard crossed his legs around Ryan's waist.  "This one's wet," Ryan commented.  Everyone in the studio laughed.  Drew took his glasses off because he was laughing so hard.  "Why don't we jet ski?  I'd love to," Ryan said.  Richard and I laid down on our backs.  Ryan rushed over to me and Colin moved behind Richard.  Ryan grabbed my arms and made it look like we were moving on the water.  Let's just say that Richard was imitating a very sexual activity.  The audience went crazy.  It hurt to laugh and stay in a half sitting up position.  Time seemed to go on forever with the audience continuing to laugh for at least five minutes straight.  "Now we're on a tropical island," Colin said breaking the laughter.  "It was really rough out there," Ryan commented.  "Believe me," Colin replied chuckling.  "How did we end up on this island?" Ryan asked.  "I don't know," Colin answered.  "Please climb that tree and get me a coconut?" Ryan begged.  Richard stood up and Colin gathered some coconuts.  "We have to build a house or a raft to get off this island," Ryan stated.  Richard and I laid down next to each other. 

Drew pressed the buzzer.  Richard gave everyone a hug and ran offstage.  We dragged ourselves back to our seats.  Greg was cracking up.  "I've never had a jet ski in my life but I think I'm picking it up," Colin said making us all roar with laughter.  Greg and I couldn't stop laughing.  "I'm just so happy," he said.  Richard came back to read the credits with us and had us do them while doing aerobics.  "That's a wrap.  Good job everybody," the director praised.  Richard hurried off the set to work on a new fitness project.  The four of us exchanged glances and burst out laughing.  Greg had to hold on to me to keep me from falling over because I was laughing so hard.  "That was hilarious," I said wiping a tear from my eye.  "It's been the funniest scene we've done by far," Ryan exclaimed.  We took care of our fan mail before going home to relax for the rest of the day.

Hey guys!  I hope you liked this chapter.  I head back to school on Monday.  It shouldn't be too bad but staying at home is always better than school.  Thanks for all the support and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Lots of love,
