Survival of the Temptations

 

“ Things go wrong when Opera has A little too much to

drink at a all girl’s Club with Chiasto and Celine. The next

Day She goes to a self-help center and is suspended from Drinking for

a week. Strange thing is camera Crews seem to be popping

up everywhere She goes.”

Author’s notes:

This is the third fan fic I wrote. Sorry it’s been awhile since the last fan fic with Ashton and Precis working at 7-11 but I finally did another one. Mainly I’ve been busy with Shadows of Zelnack and my other site. Lately I started to like Opera and now my new team Opera is the strongest character at Level. 102 ^_^ Anyway enjoy yourself and this time I wanted to go a different approach.

(At night inside Bowman‘s house. Ashton and Bowman are watching late night T.V.)

T.V: Well I think the problem is peoples is that the King of Cross won’t get off his lazy ass and do something about this sorcery globe.

Bowman: (Switches channels)

T.V: Pay 3 easy payments of 1876 FOL each month and you’ll get this Kitchen knife, these fresh cut ingredients, and my famous George Forman’s guide to a quick bunch for dummies for…

Bowman: (Switches channels)

T.V: Now it’s time for an another episode of Claude is a Jerk!

Ashton: OOOOO!!! I love this show! ^_^ Turn it up Bowman!

Bowman: (Switches channels)

Ashton: Hey!

T.V: Today Enix released Star Ocean 2: The second story and surprise surprise! It beated out Final Fantasy 7 and Wild Arms by over 12.2 Million FOL.

Bowman: (Switches Channels)

T.V: It’s time for Hullo talk with your host Hullo!

Bowman: (Switches channels)

T.V: Shadows Of Zelnack Disc one coming this…

Bowman: (Throws Remote down) Man…T.V. sure does suck tonight…

Ashton: Well why don’t you go to bed…

Bowman: Can’t…not tired…

Ashton: Where is everyone tonight?

Bowman: Claude is out with Rena at a fancy restaurant…and Opera, Chiasto and Celine went out to a all girl’s bar…sigh…I’m so board…

Ashton: Wanna play Dragon’s in the house ^_^

Bowman: ???

Bowman: I never heard of THAT game…

Ashton: It’s like Hungry hungry hippos but they took that off the market when someone thought the hippos would come alive then the mother sewed the owner of the marketplace and they changed it to Dragon’s in the house ^_^

Bowman: ~_~

Bowman: Fine set it up…but let me grab some smokes and I’ll order us a pizza…

(Bowman gets up and goes to the fridge and takes a carton of smokes and looks for the money he had on the counter of the table)

Bowman: What the…(Finds a note and reads it) Bowman I’m borrowing this money for the girls for tonight I’ll pay you back later…signed Opera…

Bowman: Opera…oh well she’ll pay me back later…

(At the rowdy rowdy girl’s club bar)

Opera: Gi…ve me…another…

Bartender: You look kinda of flushed are you ok?

Hullo: Don’t you have it?

Ernest: (Opens the bag) It’s chocolate bear candies I wanted us to share em together ^_^

Bowman: I thought you wanted Opera to stop drinking so much…

Ernest: Yeah but it’s Friday night she can drink all she wants…besides Celine and Chisato are with her.

Opera: Where am I? (Fulls off the tree stump)

Opera: OUCHEEEE!!! (Dops to the ground and looks up)

Opera: Tria?

(Opera wakes up in a hospital bed with Ernest near her)

Opera: Wha…Ern?

Ernest: Your alive…

Ernest: Doctor is she alright?

Doctor: Come with me into my office…

(Opens the door to his office and Ernest comes in and sits in a chair)

Ernest: Is she…

Doctor: Dead? No…my friend…she just had a overdose of alcohol…

Ernest: Is it serious?

Doctor: Well…yes if she does continue to take the same amount of alcohol everyday…

Ernest: How many drinks did she have?

Doctor: About 36 glasses of beer,

Ernest: WHAT!

Ernest: That must have cost us…

Doctor: About over 2000 FOL

Ernest: Well…what important is that she’s alright…

Doctor: Mr. Raviede I do have something I want to discuss…

Ernest: Ok…

Doctor: It would be best to wait a few hours…

Ernest: Why?

Doctor: Opera will be awake and I want you both to hear this…

(Ernest leaves the doctor office and goes outside where the others are waiting)

Rena: So what’s wrong with her?

Celine: She’s gotta a hangover! ^_^

Ernest: THAT’S NOT FUNNY CELINE! THIS IS SERIOUS!

Chiasto: I’m sorry about Opera we tried to stop her…

Ernest: Ah…

(Door opens up and the doctor sticks his head out)

Doctor: Opera is awake and would like to see you all.

(Ernest and the others walk into Opera’s room)

Opera: …Hi yal!

Chisato: You feeling ok?

Opera: Hell no…what kind of drugs did you give me doc?

Doctor: Just strong enough to lower the level of alcohol in your bloodstream.

Ernest: Well Opera this is what happens to people who have a serious drinking problem.

Opera: I don’t have a problem…

All: …

Opera: Oh my god….

Chisato: Sorry we can take this only so far…

Opera: Rena?

Rena: …I have to agree with Chisato.

Opera: Ernest help me!

Ernest: …

Doctor: I belive we may be able to help her.

Celine: How? She constanly drinking even in the bed

Doctor: 0_0’ that serious huh?

Ernest: What do we do?

Doctor: (Reaches into his pocket) This might help… (Pulls out a pamlett and gives it to Ernest)

Ernest: A self-help program?

Rena: Sounds good

Opera: Alright I’ll go but first…(Takes out a beer under her pillow)

(Rena snaps the beer out of her hand)

Opera: Nuts!

(A few hours later Ernest and Opera go to the Self-help building for heavy drinkers)

????: Hello! I’m Mr. Jason L Matthews ^_^

Opera: Hey

Ernest: Hello doctor!

Jason: So you have a problem with drinking…yes?

Ernest: The problem is that she drinks too much.

Opera: You make it sound like a bad thing

(Ernest looks at a camera in the ceiling)

Ernest: Why the camera?

Jason: Safety reasons of course

Jason: Let us start!

(Awhile later after Opera and Ernest explain the problem)

Ernest: That’s about it I guess…

Jason: I have an idea…

Opera: Eh?

Jason: I would like her to try not drinking for a week

Ernest: But…

Jason: I’m not finished…

Jason: You could watch her wherever she goes and we can set up video cameras and film her to see what she’s doing ^_^ how does that sound?

Opera: 0_0 Everywhere?

Ernest: It sounds good…but…

Jason: Eh?

Ernest: Well I can’t watch her all day! I got work tomorrow!

Ernest: Hey! I have someone that could help her.
