The only light that filled the airy apartment was the flickering of the TV. Across from the TV sat two people who were fighting to stay awake, even though it was well past 2 a.m. in the morning. The woman was leaning against the man, her head resting on his chest.
She looked up her hair tossed around her face. "We have to go to bed." she whispered.
"I know." he replied, his eyes closed. He made no move to get up.
"Hmm." She laughed turning her head and placing it back on his chest. The screen flickered to a blue advertisement that held white lettering. A voice was heard as it repeated the words on the screen.
"The following is a paid advertisement from A.R.C Incorporated. The views expressed do not reflect the management of this cable."
The woman squinted to get a better look and the screen. A man wearing a pristine suit and a red tie, walked into the screen. He proceeded to sit on the corner of a desk.
"Hello, I'm Sir James Lester, founder and president of A.R.C Incorporated, the Ataraxia Renewal Center." Even though the man was all smiles, a certain look said he was bored and unhappy about the whole situation.
He continued with a sarcastic tone, "Why remember a destructive love affair? Here and the A.R.C, we have perfected a safe effective technique for the focused erasure of troubling memories. In a matter of hours a patented non-surgical procedure will rid you of painful memories and allow you a new and lasting peace of mind you never imagined possible." And with that the channel returned to its original showing.
"I would never do that." The woman whispered, turning her head to see that he had fallen back asleep. She sighed smiling.
She sat up, her hair falling lightly across her shoulders, and proceeded to poke him repeatedly.
He woke up startled, "Oi! That hurts, ya?"
She giggled and kissed him, leaning to rest on him again. He placed his hand behind her back, deepening the kiss. She pulled back reluctantly.
"Come on you, let's go to bed." She got up, turning off the TV. She helped him up.
He grabbed her waist putting his arms around her, pulling her toward him. They padded up the stairs and into their bedroom.
IMPORTANT; read on plz! 3
Okay if you haven't already figured this out, this story will be based on the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. If you haven't seen it, go watch it now it's fantastic! :D This part was not in the movie, but I always wondered were Clem found out about Lacuna. So I used the movie trailer as a helper for this scene.
If you read my other story and were confused about the whole A.R.C thing well now hopefully you get it. And A.R.C is not pronounced 'Ark' but A R C (the letters) for this story.
Okay so in order for me to go on with my story, I need your opinion on these questions. (I want to try to stay as close to the movie but not make the characters seem so OOC from the Primeval personality.)
1: as you know Joel has a journal in the movie, and draws pictures, and this really isn't Becker so instead of the journal just make him have the weird pager thing he had in S4 episode 2? As for the drawing should I keep that or do something different?
2: In the movie Clementine is always changing her hair color, Jess will be this character, and should I keep that or instead of the color hair, make it her shoes and clothes that so colorful and 'zany'? (like in the show)
3: I have all my characters figured out except Patrick from the movie. Which character from Primeval should I use to play this?
Thank you, plz review, so I can continue!
