Swapped - Chp. 1 - Start of It All

“Alright guys,” Lewis sputtered out in between gales of laughter, “I think we need to end it here for today.”

“Agreed.” Duncan said, barely able to breathe, “For our health.”

“Byeee guys!” Simon sang out, causing them to laugh even more as the slowly turned off all their recording devices and powered down their computers, finishing up another hard day of work recording hole diggers.

“Okay guys,” Lewis called out at the top of his voice, “That was good. That was really good.”

Simon, still laughing, shook his head. “Not good.” He managed to choke out, “Great. Awesome. Perfect.”

Duncan shook his head as well. “Simon’s right Lewis, that episode was bloody brilliant. The fans will love it.”

“They typically do...” Lewis nodded. “Hey, was anyone actually recording when I managed to get myself killed though? I sorta... paused it a bit.”

Simon gave an almost evil grin and nodded at top speed. “Yes. Ten million times yes. I got every second of it, and if you leave it out I swear to god...”

Lewis raised his hands in the air and shook his head. “It’s too good to hide. And hey, it isn’t like it was MY fault.”

Duncan laughed some more, “But that’s a discussion for later, for now I’m actually kind of hungry.” He patted his stomach slightly, to emphasize this. “Go out and eat together?”

“No, I’m going to turn down food.” Simon said, somehow holding a straight face for a few moments before he broke down laughing again.

“Alright smarty,” Duncan chuckled, “Just for that you get to pay.”

“Of course...” Simon muttered, still grinning. “Well let’s go then!”

“You two go ahead to the usual place, I’ll meet you there in just a few. Gotta do a few things on the server first. Upgrades that I know you guys don’t want to do.” Lewis said as the two others started for the door.

Duncan faked a cough. “Workaholic” Slipped in between the cough as he walked away with a grin.

“Oh shut it you,” Lewis said, “I’m just doing what must be done.”

Simon and Duncan spared no time in leaving, and soon Lewis sat alone in the office building, opening his minecraft slowly, not really in any great rush.
