Big City Greens - Vines and Shorts!

Scared of the Thunder (Short)

It was a stormy day, and the Greens and Remy were inside, watching the news.

"You're watching the news! Thank you for tooning in. I'm here with the weather report, and... it's stormy!" The weather TV said.

"Oh, Geez!" Bill said.

"Ugh! Why did it have to rain today? Me and Remy had plans to go dumpster diving!" Cricket said.

"What? I never agreed to do that!" Remy replied.

"Well, I hate to say it, but I believe that we're stuck inside all day." Bill said.

Gramma sat in her chair, frowning and crossing her arms, as normal.

"Hmph. Back in my day, I had to work durin' a simple tornado." Gramma said.

"Well, don't you guys have any boardgames? We could play together to pass the time." Remy said.

"Great idea, Remy! I'll go get the games!" Bill said.

Cricket smiled, and called out for Tilly.

"Tilly! Boardgame time!" Cricket exclaimed.

Suddenly, Tilly happily walked in the room, holding Saxton.

"Dandy! Which boardgame are we playin'?" Tilly asked.

"We're gonna play Pictionary!" Bill said, bringing out the board game.

"Ooh! I love that game! Me and Vasquez play this game all the time!" Remy replied.

Bill placed the board game on the table, and took out all the mini pieces, along with the boardgame, dice, and drawing board, along with markers.
Moments later, everyone had gotten a piece, and started the game.

"Oh! I got a five!" Remy said, happily.

Remy moved his piece and grabbed a paper, continuing to smile.

"Oh! Okay!" Remy said.

He then put his card down, and started drawing on the board, with the Greens guessing as he drew.

"Elephant!" Bill said.

"Oh! A wooden board!" Gramma said.

"Um, a butler?" Cricket guessed

Remy smiled, as he continued to draw.

"Oh! Is it a-?!" Tilly started.

BANG!!

The sudden loud thunderbolt of lightning made a huge noise, hitting the Greens house, making the lights go out.

"Ack!" Everyone shrieked.

"What the heck? What just happened?!" Cricket asked.

"Dang Lightning must've hit our power! Don't worry, they should come back on when the energy builds back up." Bill replied.

After about a few seconds, the lights came back on, with everyone smiling in relief.

"Heh, ya call that scary, nature?!" Gramma asked.

"Ha! That wasn't even scary, right, Remy?" Cricket asked.

Cricket smiled and turned to Remy, only to see nothing but Remy's boardgame pieces. It was Like Remy rushed out of the room, like in a panic.

"Remy?" Cricket asked.

Remy was holding his ears as he shook with fear. He had rushed into Crickets hammock, and hid under the covers.
He whimpered as he shook from fear.
