Canon: Set during “Nightmare Vacation” (Ep. 88, S5 E16)

The hurricane had continued to blow for what seemed like hours. Their room was torn apart with a wall missing and the bathroom gone.

The quartet was stuck huddled against the interior door frame just off the hallway. The guys had moved the girls behind them the best they could.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the storm ended. All became silent.

“I think…”

“Don’t say it, Larry,” Jennifer warned, breathlessly. She let go of her embrace on Larry.

Larry frowned and stayed silent.

Mary Anne hugged Balki. “Oh, Balki!”

“There, there, my little lamb shank,” Balki murmured, returning her embrace. They continued whispering to each other.

Larry glanced at them and sighed. He knew he really did it this time. This was all his fault. He didn’t blame Jennifer for not wanting to be near him.

Larry was too busy wallowing in his misery to hear Jennifer whisper his name. When she received no response, she gently slipped her arms around his chest. He jumped slightly and turned to her.

“I’m sorry, Larry, I didn’t mean to upset you.” She rested her head on the back of his shoulder.

He gripped her arms on his chest. He felt some relief at least where she was concerned, but as far as vacations went, he felt like babasticki.
