Author : fredbassett
Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 12
Characters : Lester, OFCs
Disclaimer : Not mine, no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for primeval100 Challenge 284, Future Predator

“Derek Holness likes you.”

“He’s totally lame.”

“His dad’s got a holiday home in the Loire Valley.”

“Yeah, but Andy Prentiss’s family have got a flat in Miami.”

As his daughters happily pulled apart prospective boyfriends, Lester looked back nostalgically to the days when all they’d talked about was ponies.

His ex-wife had assured him that they were nowhere near as predatory as they sounded, but he wasn’t convinced.

The girls had spent the last hour picking over every adolescent male of their acquaintance like a pair of crows enjoying a tasty feast.

The pony phase had definitely been preferable.

Poor Lester and it's only just started!

[fredbassett]

Oh yes, he has years to go yet.

[goldarrow]

Oh, brilliant.
I read the drabble and snickered at it, then checked the prompt and immediately laughed out loud.
Future predators, indeed!
Loved it!

[fredbassett]

*g* Thanks :)

[fififolle]

He should be giving them tips on how to pick 'em!! LOL. Poor James.

[fredbassett]

LOL!

my Dave muse read that, and is now huddled in the corner, clutching a stuffed toy to protect him.

very nice drabble; poor Lester.

[fredbassett]

Very sensible of him!

lol! Fun take on the prompt.

[fredbassett]

Thanks :) I enjoy taking a sideways look at times.

[stealingpennies.livejournal.com]

Cool promptage. I love Lester in (helpless) parent-mode. Fondly imagine the children vetting his future partners.

[fredbassett]

Oh lord, yes, that would terrify him!

This is a brilliant drabble (and we never act like this, no matter what freddiejoey says, honest)

[fredbassett]

LOL, I believe you!

[judithjohn.livejournal.com]

I've got two daughters, now in their 20s. You're spot on.

[fredbassett]

*g* Thanks!

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Aww, poor Lester has to see his little girls grow up. Very sweet and nostalgic.

[fredbassett]

*g* Probably every father's nightmare!

[eriah211.livejournal.com]

These girls look smarter and more practical than I ever was. *pets Lester*

[fredbassett]

*g* He probably needs some sympathy!

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

LOL! Good job he hasn't introduced them to his work colleagues!

[fredbassett]

Very true!

[ebonyfeather.livejournal.com]

LOL! Poor Lester... it's only going to get worse.

[fredbassett]

It certainly is!

[cordeliadelayne]

Hee, excellent use of the prompt!

[fredbassett]

Thanks! I love it when a sideways look at the prompt springs to mind.

[comnena39.livejournal.com]

So very true!
Nice ;-)
