Regents After Dark
Finn
How long do you lot think Archie will last on that mission?
Cameron
Um. Is two days too generous?
Wade
Well, I have faith in him.
Finn
You’re the captain. You have to say that. Now, let’s get real.
Callum
**eye-roll emoji**
Finn
Aw, sorry to interrupt your romantic staycation with Millie, Callum. Saw your last Fergie video, by the way. The bird still has better footwork than you.
Callum
Thanks.
Cameron
Showed it to my brothers too. They’re officially his biggest fans.
Finn
Speaking of, how’s life back in the Land of the Free?
Cameron
Refreshing. Way less rain, virtually no football talk. Nice break from you guys.
Finn:
And yet… here you are, talking to us.
Cameron
I could say the same to you. Weren’t you supposed to be in Greece with your brother?
Callum
Muting this chat now. See you blokes at training.
Finn
**laughing emoji**
Cameron
Dang it. We scared Grumpy Cal off again.
Wade
Gotta go too. Teddy’s staging a bedtime rebellion. Bye, lads.
Archie
What did I miss?
Finn
There he is! So… saving the world yet?
Archie
Cut me some slack! I’ve only been here for a few hours. We start tomorrow. But I have already played football, in case you’re wondering.
Finn
Of course you have.
Cameron
Wait—are you at a sports camp or a humanitarian mission?
Archie
It was just a kickabout with some kids. They did, however, confirm I’m a world-class keeper.
Finn
Suuuure.
Cameron
Is that how you boost your confidence now? Beating little children?
Archie
Believe it or not, they were quite good.
Finn
So, did you win?
Archie
Yep. Even played midfield. That didn’t go so well, though. Nearly took someone’s head off.
Cameron
You should really leave that position to the professionals, keeper boy.
Finn
Only you could go on a humanitarian trip and almost injure someone on your first day.
Archie
Oh, and I haven’t even told you the best part yet. It was my neighbour.
Finn
Wait! THE neighbour? Miss Posh Complainer?
Cameron
No way! Did she follow you?
Archie
Nope. She’s a doctor. Turns out we just signed up for the same trip.
Finn
That’s freaky.
Cameron
Most twisted coincidence in the history of coincidences.
Archie
Anyway, I need sleep. Big day tomorrow. Catch you all later.
Finn
So… how long do we think he lasts?
Cameron
Revising my earlier bet: 24 hours.
Archie
I saw that.
