Chapter 1:
*No One's POV*
A black screen shown as music plays in the background. In the distance of the darkness appears a pair of blood red lips coming into view to sing, "Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still, but he told us where we stand and Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear. Claude Rains was the Invisible Man than something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong. They got caught in a celluloid jam. Than at a deadly pace, it came from outer space and this is how the message ran."
The lips freeze and disappears as the cast credits appear in bleedy blood lettering.
"Science Fiction, double feature. Dr. X will build a creature, see Androids fighting Brad and Janet. Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet. Ahaho. At the late night, double feature picture show. I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel when tarantula took to the hills and I really got hot when I saw Jeanette Scott fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills. Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes and passing them used lots of skills, but when worlds collide said George Pal to his bride I'm going to give you some terrible thrills. Like a Science Fiction double feature."
The lips appear again to sing more.
"Dr. X will build a creature see Androids fighting Brad and Janet. Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet. Oh Ho, at the late night, double feature Picture Show in the back row. Ahaho. To the late night, double feature Picture Show."
Soon the lips and darkness turns into a cross at the Denton Episcopalian Church. The church holds a wedding emerging out from inside. A young married couple by the names of Ralph and Betty Hapschatt appear out followed by a group of friends and well wishers throwing confetti and shouting excitedly. Two people who are taking pictures of the wedding stand near the church.
While the photographers were doing their own thing, a young woman around the age of eighteen years old or twenty years old was a little uncomfortable of the large of amount of people, but still happy for the young couple. She's the only girl wearing dark colors. The outfit she's wearing is a long sleeve black button up modest top with a knee length black with indigo designs skirt, black tights, and black flats. Her oddly indigo colored hair is up in a bun with two braids from the sides of her with two black stads of hair. Makeup on her face matches her outfit perfect, especially with her black and indigo lips.
Th ultra pale skinned female watches with her dark brown eyes as her friend, Brad, shakes hands with the groom.
"Hey Ralph," Brad greets him a smile.
"Well I guess we really did it, huh?" Ralph asked smiling, happy for getting married.
"I don't think there's any doubt about that," Brad comments. "You and Betty have been almost inseparable since you met in Dr. Scott's refresher courses."
"Well to tell you the truth Brad, that was only reason I showed up in the first place," Ralph jokes.
"Okay you guys….this is it," Betty calls out to the guests with a smile. "Are you ready?"
"Hey Brad, Betty's going to throw her bouquet," Ralph notices. "Maybe Indigo will finally get a man in her life."
"Doubt it," Brad says. "She's already married to someone who she doesn't know."
Indigo hears this and secertly glares at her 'friend' Brad. She sighs sadly, looking away while touching on her black choker with a heart shaped ring in the middle.
"Someday, I'm going to find you my dearest," she whispered it.
Betty throws the bouquet and Indigo's adoptive sister Janet catches it. She squeals with delight, making Indigo cringe. Everyone cheer as she silently claps with a smirk on her face.
"Hey big fella," Ralph smiles to Brad. "Looks like it could be your turn next, eh?"
"Who knows?"
"So long, see you Brad. See you Indigo!" Ralph calls out for the mysterious girl with a smile and waving to her.
She waves back with a smile before heading towards Brad.
The car pulls up when Ralph says to his new wife, "we'd better get going now Betty. Come on, hop in."
Indigo stayed behind of the guests who are cheering and waving goodbyes to the newlywed couple on the other side of the notice board which reads: "BE JUST AND FEAR NOT".
Guests run after the car, waving and taking pictures.
Janet walks up to her adopted sister happily showing her the bouquet. Indigo smiles, proud of her. They went up to the stairs with the members of the church at the entrance. The indigo color haired female leans against the railing where the man with a pitchfork stands emotionlessly. Or so she thought. He looks at her at the corners of his eyes.
"Oh, Brad, Indigo," Janet smiles, still holding the bouquet, "wasn't it wonderful? Didn't Betty look radiantly beautiful? Oh, I can't believe that an hour ago she was plain old Betty Monroe, and now….now she's Mrs. Ralph Hapschatt," she sighs dreamily.
"Yea, it's nice to marry the one you love," Indigo sighs sadly, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Yes, Janet and Indigo," Brad agrees, looking at the direction of the car. "Ralph's a lucky guy."
Indigo watches them to the church cemetery from the railing while the man continues to watch her.
"Yes," Janet agrees.
"Everyone knows Betty's a wonderful little cook," Brad comments, still not looking at Janet.
"Yes," Janet says, following him.
"Why Raph, himself, he'll be in line for a promotion in a year or two," Brad's avoiding something like he's being nervous.
"Yes," Janet says again.
Brad and Janet stops in front of a sign that says, "DENTON: THE HOME OF HAPPINESS." Indigo watches from afar.
"Hey Janet," he says suddenly.
"Yes Brad," she says edgerly.
"I've got something to say," he says.
"Uh-huh."
"I really loved the," he pauses as a storm comes, "skillful way you beat the other girls to the bride bouquet."
"Oh...oh Brad," she smiles to him, blushing.
"The river was deep but I swam it," Brad sings, heading back to the church's entrance, but looking back at Janet while she follows him.
"Janet," the members of the church and Indigo sings.
"The future is ours so let's plan it," he sings more, repeating his actions and she nods her head in agreement.
"Janet," the three sing together again.
"So please don't tell me to can it," Brad sings to Janet.
"Janet."
"I have one thing to say and that's dammit Janet," he has his hands on her shoulders as she smiles to her, "I love you."
She smiles and leans forward to kiss him, but he back away to the church steps walking backwards, "the road was long but I ran it."
"Janet," Indigo smirks singing with the members of the church.
"There's a fire in my heart and you fan it," Brad sings to Janet.
"Janet," the three sing together again as the two of them begins to work on some of the yard around the steps.
"If there's one fool for you than I am it," Brad got onto the steps, making Indigo is get of the railing and steps onto the grass.
"Janet," the three sing again.
The male member of the church secretly smiles to Indigo to give her a beautiful indigo colored rose. She secretly smiles back, happily and silently accepting the rose. "Thank you," she mouths to him which he nods still smiling.
"I've one thing to say and that…" Brad chalks a heart on the church door, "dammit Janet, I love you."
The male member of the church wipes off the heart while Janet runs up to Brad. Which he picks up Janet and swings her around before kneeling down on one knee.
"Here's a ring to prove that," Brad sings with a smile, showing Janet with a ring, "I'm no joker."
Janet's so surprised, but really excited.
"There's three ways that love can grow. That's good…" Brad sings as the members of the church open the doors and enter in with the door close behind them.
"Oh...oh...oh," Janet sings.
"Bad or….." Brad goes to put the ring on Janet's finger and drops it out of nervously. "Mediocre."
"Oh."
Indigo is happy for them as she holds her beautiful rose close to her face.
Brad bends down to get the ring, but Janet helps out and place the ring on her finger.
"Oh JANET I love you so."
Janet got so excited of her ring that she runs into the church where the members of the church are cleaning with Brad and Indigo.
"Oh! It's nicer than Betty Monroe had," she sings happily.
"Oh Brad," the two female members sing together as Indigo smiles while walking past them to the end of the aisle.
"Now we're engaged and I'm so glad," Janet sings to Brad.
"Oh Brad," the females and Indigo sing together again as Indigo stands at the altar where the bridesmaids usually are.
"That you met Mom, became friends with sister Indigo and you know Dad," Janet sings smiling.
"Oh Brad," Indigo and the family sings.
"I've one thing to say and that…." the family emotionlessly heads to the other side of the church for the next event. "Brad," Janet sings, holding his arm, "I'm mad for you too."
Janet and Brad walks down the aisle arm to arm.
"Oh, Brad," she sings, obviously showing her love for him.
"Oh, dammit," he sings smiling.
The members of the family and the church walk through the side doors as Indigo acts like the matron of honor while holding her beautiful rose and smiling to the happy couple.
"I'm mad…."
"Oh Janet."
"For you," Janet sings to Brad with her hand up to Brad's face and looks at her ring as she takes it down slowly.
"I love you too-oo-oo," Brad smiles to her.
"There's one thing left to do ahooh," Brad and Janet sings together as the family brings in a coffin for a either a little person or a child.
"And let's go see the man who began it," Brad sings, thinking of someone they knew.
"Janet," the family sings, setting the coffin.
"When we met in his science exam it," Brad sings to her.
"Janet," the family and Indigo sings.
"Made me give you the eye and than panic," Brad sings as Indigo walks closer to her sister.
"Janet," the family and Indigo sings.
"Now I've one thing to say and that's dammit Janet, I love you," Brad sings, expressing his love for her. Janet runs into Brad's arms as he hugs her. He circles her around and singing, "Dammit, Janet."
She circles him twice while admiring her ring. "Oh Brad, I'm mad."
Indigo walks on the other side where the family is as she smiles and rolls her eyes at the couple while crossing her arms again.
"Dammit, Janet," Brad sings.
"I love you," they sing together while kneel down together trailing the last word before finally leaning in for a kiss.
