Exhilaration | Shawn Hunter [Boy Meets World]

City Slackers

At my house-

"You stole Mr. Feeny's key to his cottage?" I ask Shawn.

"Hey. I borrowed it, there's a difference," Shawn replied.

"No, Shawn. That's called stealing."

"Look, this guy goes out of his way to make my life miserable. Here's his way of making it up to me," Shawn stated.

I took his hands in mine. "Shawny, as amazing as it sounds, it's not right."

"Ponytail, please," Shawn leaned his forehead against mine. "It'll be just the two of us, sitting by the fire, drinking hot cocoa just the way you like it and cuddling to keep warm at night."

I smiled. "Oh dang it, Hunter. You got me."

"So, is that a yes?"

I pecked his lips. "Yes, totally."

At school-

"Three bus tickets to paradise," Shawn told me and Cory.

"And the weather report?" I ask.

"Fresh blanket of snow on the mountains."

"All right, Shawn. Not to put a damper on our plans or anything, but, you know, it occurred to me in a moment of clarity that we don't ski," Cory told him.

"Hey. We don't learn, but we go to school, don't we?"

At the cabin, we finally arrived at thanks to a ranger.

"Well, here you go," he said, opening the door for us.

"'Hank 'oo," me and Cory tell him thanks to the cold.

"'Hank 'oo 'hery 'huch," Shawn added, closing the door.

"Little chilly for you city kids," the ranger stated.

"'Ittle bit," Cory answered.

"Uh, thanks for the ride, Officer, uh..." Shawn trailed off.

"Ranger. Ranger Mark," he answered.

"How old are you?" Cory asked.

"Which one of you is Feeny's children?" he questioned.

We all answered with-

"Oh, he is."

"Oh, she is."

"Oh, he is."

"Well, I am," Cory pointed to himself.

"We all are," Shawn replied.

"We're siblings," me and Cory say.

"We're cousins," Shawn spoke at the same time. "Brother-cousins."
