31 Plays in 31 Days, #8 - "The Bobsled"

Another chunk for the Cabin Pressure fan fiction idea I've had! If I've got to write something every day, why not work on the fan fic as long as I'm thinking about it?

This piece happens after "#5 Meet Trudy and Cliff" and again shoots for the series's wit and humor. Though honestly I may have taken it in a slightly more vulgar direction than the original ever really goes, but I think it's still within tone. There's also one Douglas joke in here that's just so Douglas I could imagine John Finnemore himself writing it. Guess which one it is! :-)

For reference, the "petanque team" and "bobsled" are references to a joke from a episode where the characters liken the number of people they've dated to how many players a given athletic endeavor requires. :-)
