Scenarios:

1. A little help, please?

A) Lost - You got lost somewhere, like a school or office building or even an unfamiliar city street, and it doesn't look like you can figure out the way back by yourself.

B) Bike/Car Trouble - Your mode of transportation has a flat tire and your cellphone battery is dead while you're in a middle of nowhere.

C) You Shrimp! - You’re just a short fry who can’t even reach the top shelf for an item. Or even if you’re tall enough, you STILL can’t reach it without a second hand. Like maybe, a ball that got stuck on a basketball’s ring.

2. Babysitting/Pet sitting

Your neighbor is going out of town for a few days. They ask you to take care of the pet (or the baby) for the time being. But you don't have to worry! Your neighbor hired someone to help you. You can only hope that person is reliable...

3. Playful Fight - The two of you are having such a nice time together, doing whatever it is you’re up to. Suddenly, one of you just can’t help but start teasing a little. Like maybe pick up the nearest object available and throw it to the other person's face.

A) Food Fight - Didn’t your mom always told you not to play with food?

B) Water Gun/Water Balloon Fight - Well, that’s one way to cool down.

C) Pillow Fight - Grab a pillow or two. It’s game time.

D) Tickle Fight - Who cares about objects! Your true weapon is your god hand!!

4. Hand to Hold - Something terrible just happened. It’s terrible enough to make you cry or flip a table. You don’t want to be alone right now with these feelings.

A) Shoulder to cry on - You’re not done crying and it just hurts to cry on your own hands.

B) Woke up from a bad dream - Did you get rickrolled in your sleep? Did you hear the trololo man’s song within your dreams? Sit up and tell that person to hold you right now!

C) Just had a bad day - Everybody’s against you today. Flop down that couch and start sulking.

5. Stuck/Stranded

A) Stuck in an elevator - You had places to go! People to see! But that can’t happen due a technical difficulty while you were riding the elevator. Fortunately ~~or unfortunately~~ you’re not alone.

B) Stuck due to rain - Just your luck, you forgot your umbrella. Do you wait it out or try to make a run for it?

C) Deserted Island - Due to a miracle, you survived the boat crash and even drifted ashore! Yay! Except... where the hell are you now? And, oh god, is that a dead body next to you? ~~Wait, it moved!~~

6. Sick/Injury

A) Stuck at Home - It’s your fault that you stayed out the rain too long. Or maybe you just overworked yourself too much. Be careful!

B) Infirmary - Looks like you got into a minor accident. Guess it was a good thing that someone was there to help you to the clinic.

C) Hospital - Still waiting on the results for that last medical exam? Maybe you're EXPECTING A BABY. Whatever it is, at least you've got some company to keep your occupied.

7. Confession

A) In Person - Nothing is more sincere than a direct confession!

B) Love Letter - You’re so traditional. Are you going to put heart stickers, too?

C) Phone call/Text/Email/IMs - Ahh, the wonders of technology. You can even say how you feel through emoticons. :D <3

B) Movie - Cozy up on the couch watching a DVD or head to the mall to watch latest blockbuster.

C) Picnic - Grab a basket, grab some food, and pray to god that whoever prepared it knows how to cook. Watch out for ants.

9. New Kid On The Block

You’re new to the neighborhood. Maybe you’re a new student or a newly hired worker. Maybe you even just literally moved in. Either way, you miss your old home and your friends. You’re so lonely. Aww. Don’t worry, maybe fate will be kind to you and reward you with a new friend very soon.

10. A little extra help with work or school

A) Study partner - The exams are coming up! You thought of calling up someone to study with, hoping that it will increase your focus and all those other benefits.

B) Homework pain - You have an extremely difficult homework. You’re at the point where you want to throw it out the window.

C) Overtime at work - It’s shit-o-clock. You’ll never finish these on time. You might as well pull off an overnight at the office, unless a kind soul decides to assist you with work.

11. Hanging Out

A) Shopping - Maybe your ~~victim~~ date doesn't mind shopping with you. Maybe they did. Well, they're here now and they're not getting away from you that easily!

B) At a coffee shop - Maybe it's your first date and the two of you are testing the waters, maybe you bumped into each other. Whatever the reason was, there's nothing like two people just talking over a cup of coffee.

C) At a playground - Nothing wrong with reliving your childhood here. Last one to the swings is a rotten egg!

B) Slept on the Couch - You’re ridiculously tired and that short nap on the couch became longer than you planned.

C) Fell asleep in the car - Not exactly the ideal place to fall asleep in (carbon monoxide poisoning and all). Luckily, someone’s coming to your rescue.

14. Outdoorsy stuff

A) Stargazing - Maybe you two just enjoy the sight of the sea of stars. Maybe either of you believe in the legend of the wishing star. Either way, the evening sky is shining down for the two of you.

B) Camping - Screw the city! Nature is truly the best! Grab your partner ~~or be dragged off by them~~ and explore to your heart’s content. Watch out for snakes or bears.

C) Field Trip - It’s a class field trip or a work’s group outing! What will you do? Explore every nook of the location you’re in? Stay in your room and play board games? Sneak out each other’s rooms to meet up tonight?

15. Wild card - Roll again, pick anything you’d like, or create your own scene.

Honestly, it took me a while to realize it myself, but that's a whole different story.

[Scrooge sticks a few marshmallows on his stick before holding them out over the fire.]

I assume you'd like the end of the one about what happened with Krakatoa.

[Thankfully that's a "Yes or No" question, because Huey's ability to talk is sneaking in a quick nap.

...So is his ability to chew effectively, given the number of marshmallows, but he can manage.

Nodding enthusiastically at that, he sat back down and loaded up his own stick for roasting.]

[Scrooge smirks.]

So the gases passed over us without broiling us alive, but we were still too far behind the steamship. However, the aftereffects of the explosion weren't done yet. Next came the tsunami wave. I ordered the sails be unfurled and we caught enough leftover wind from the explosion to start moving ahead of the tsunami, mimicking what I'd seen of a man in Tahiti doing on a long board to ride the surf. We had to cut the sails free since we managed to ride the top of the wave, and the wind was actually pushing us back.

The wave struck an island but we were high enough to clear it, landing safely on the other side where the steamship had gone for cover from the wave. Just in time for pieces of Krakatoa itself to start raining down from the sky.

Wow...!

[He laughed some as he said that, listening with rapt attention.]

What happened when the rocks started coming down?

Well, it turns out that some of the rocks were actually bits of lava that had cooled during their flight through the air. They were filled with air bubbles which let them float. Which made my life so much simpler. I had Hortense with me, after all, and she was the most sure-footed critter on the Chisholm Trail.

I saddled her up and rode her across the floating rocks right to the steamship. And I was madder than an entire hive of hornets, but unfortunately since I'd been knocked out during the racing demonstration, it created a loophole according to their laws: They'd "found" the livestock which more or less made it theirs by a sort of salvage rights. I was completely ruined.

And that's when the biggest chunk of Krakatoa fell and took off the back of the steamship.

[He let out a long, impressed whistle.]

Wow, I sure wish I could've seen that! Not many can claim riding a horse across open ocean water!

What happened to the steamship, and you and the livestock?

We all drowned. The end.

[And somehow managing to keep a straight face.]

[He blinked twice, then started laughing.]

Uncle Scrooge! What really happened?

[Scrooge laughs before grinning.]

Well, the crew of the steamship abandoned ship, and I could've taken Hortense across the rocks again, but I didn't want to leave those bulls. Instead, I went to the helm of the steamship and got the paddlewheels turning. It wouldn't be long before the ship sank, but that chunk of Krakatoa was likely to bob back up. Fortunately, it did, so I more or less ran the steamship aground to save the livestock.

An engineer friend of mine whom I'd met up with earlier in this whole mad chase made his way across the water by the same rocks I'd used with Hortense and we jury-rigged a system to lower the paddlewheels so we could get back to shore two days later. Since the steamship had been abandoned, I claimed it and all its cargo--including the bulls--as my property. I went on to sell the bulls for ten times the original agreed-upon fee since the sultan of Djokja was very happy at how I'd foiled an attempt to trick him in the bull races. Those longhorns I sold him went on to be racing champions.

I still have the newspaper clipping from Java after all that: "Scottish Cowboy Pilots Grounded Steamship Into Port".

[He laughed with satisfaction, giving him a grin.]

That's one amazing story! Can I see the newspaper sometime?

Certainly though you won't be able to read it. It's not in English, lad.

[Good. Huey hasn't asked about that fee...]

That's okay! It's still an interesting part of your history all the same.

[He thoughtfully chewed on one roasted marshmallow, and it was all he could do to completely swallow its gooeyness before he spoke again, an idea hitting him.]

Ooh! I can practice language translation with it! Ah, if that's okay, of course.

I don't have a problem with that. Quackfaster will likely make you wear gloves at the very least when you go to the Archives. Some of the older bits of paper have a significant amount of wear and tear due to me hauling them around with me.

Actually, I need to go to the Archives to look through some of those ship logs again...

I'm alright with that. Have to preserve the integrity of the old documents, and all that.

[He looked up curiously at that other note.]

Hoping to find something in the logs, Uncle Scrooge?

Nothing specific, but sometimes those old logs will tell you where there might be some cargo that ended up going overboard.

Ohh, yeah that's a good point! I bet you could find lots of "lost cargoes" that way.

Oh aye. I've found quite a lot of interesting things. Including the Soles Dorados back in the late eighties.

[And pulling his now very toasty marshmallows off the fire. Going to take a bite of their gooeyness and swallow.]

Nothing like a marshmallow roasted over an open fire.

You're just full of stories! Oh, I could listen all night.

[He laughed some, as he put more marshmallows on his stick.]

I agree, this is a taste you just can't quite get anywhere else.

When you get to be even half as old as I am, you've got a library of stories to tell.

[He chuckled some and nodded.]

And I know that by then, my own library's gonna be a pretty big one too.

That it will be.

[Scrooge reaches out to awkwardly pat the boy on the shoulder. He's not very good at showing affection, unfortunately.]

[He looked up at that, then smiled and, encouraged by the pat- he didn't even notice the awkward -he shifted over and threw his arm around Scrooge, giving him a good squeeze.]

I know I said it already but, thank you.

[Scrooge jerks a bit in surprise before he wraps an arm around the boy and hugs him, trying to keep his marshmallows from ending up sticking to the lad.]

You're welcome, Huey.

Now eat your marshmallows before they get cold.

[He giggled a bit, settling back in his seat after the hug.]

I'll do just that then.

Good.

[Scrooge eats the rest of his marshmallows before looking up at the stars and moon. Honestly, such a quiet night like this, he'll probably fall asleep sooner than Huey will. Hopefully the boy won't be too disappointed.]
