Exhilaration | Shawn Hunter [Boy Meets World]

Cory and I went to Shawn's trailer, entering in.

"Hey, Mr. Hunter, Mrs. Hunter," I greet as I close the door with Cory and I entering.

"Boy, it sure is nice to see you back together, a whole family again in happy domestic bliss," Cory said.

"Well, aren't you sweet," Virna said tp Cory before turning to Mr. Hunter. "If you don't want to see this entire family livin' in an Amana refrigerator box, you get your sorry act together and find some way to pay these bills!"

"Perhaps I should wait outside where there's a little less tension," Cory stated.

"Agreed," I say opening the door.

Outside, I heard, "You spineless deadbeat, hiding the bills in the cat box. I'll kill you."

I close the door, it clicked. "Wait a minute," I began, turning to Shawn
"It's-"

"It's first of the month in the trailer park," Shawn finished.

Mr. Hunter went up to his wife. "Now, Virna, sugarpie, honeybunch, don't you go chewing my leg off over a minor financial fracas." He turned to us. "That's your new vocabulary word for today, 'fracas'."

Virna grabbed him by the ear, turning him to her. "Chet."

"Yes, ma'am?"

"I have been tearing tickets every afternoon at the movie theater so we don't have to hide bills in the microwave, but pay 'em like normal people, Chet." She grabbed him by the robe and shook him. "I want to be normal, Chet!"

"You know, Virna, if we're not pleased with our little job at the theater, maybe we should seek employment elsewhere. Preferably one that gives us a little more job fulfillment., He saw her look. "What?"

"'We'?" Virna questioned.

"What?"

"'We'. " You said 'we' work. 'We' don't work! I work! I work like a pig!"

As she went into the hallway, Mr. Hunter called out, "Well, maybe you better ask for a raise 'cause we got a microwave full of bills, honey." He ducked as Virna threw a piece of laundry at him.

"It's gotta be better out there," Cory desperately pleaded, opening the door.

"I want to be normal, Spud," a woman said outside.
