(Just to let you know, Eve is British and so is Oliver xx)
After a few hours Michael woke up. Where the hell am I? He thought. It was about 10pm so he went to turn on the lights. When he did he looked around. Myrnin rubbed his eyes and looked at Shane who was on top of him. Shane woke up, looked at Myrnin and quickly sat up. "Hey" he said awkwardly.
"Hey" Myrnin said just as awkward.
Claire woke up and grabbed onto her chair, confused. Amelie yawned and immediately felt Oliver leaning on her back. Oliver looked in front of him wondering whose back he was leaning on. Eve groaned and turned over and screamed as she hit the floor on the other side. Monica screamed and sat up. Eve stood up and coughed. Shane stood up and said "Ok, who are you freaks?"
"Wait" Myrnin said and stood up "You don't know me?"
"Not a clue."
"But you were on top of me and was just like, 'hey'" Said Myrnin.
"Well, yeah coz I thought you were a girl and I knew you."
"A girl?"
"Who- who are you guys?" Monica asked, trembling. Claire got up and went to her and said "Hey it's ok. I don't know anyone here either."
"Really? Who are you?"
"I….uh" Claire had no idea who she was.
Myrnin checked his breasts and said to Shane "I'm not a girl! I-I'm not sure, who I am exactly"
"Ok then, why was I on the ground? And why are you all staring at me? Is this some kind of mental test? Is this a dream?" Shane pinched himself. "Ow, ok no. Am I in trouble? I didn't do it! And if I did it was an accident!"
Oliver stands up and says "It's not just you. Does anyone remember anything?"
"Nope" Eve said. Everyone shook their heads.
"Maybe we all got terribly drunk and we're having some kind of black-out."
"I don't think I d-drink" Amelie said. "Plus I don't see any booze. I don't feel any bumps. I don't see Alan Funt."
"Who?"
Shane is taking deep breathes, trying really hard not to panic. "I'm not panicking, I'm not panicking. Stop looking at me like I'm panicking."
"Hey take it easy guy." Claire said and they looked into each other's eyes. Shane instantly calmed down. "Nobody's hurt right? And none of us look like murderers. So we're probably safe, here. Wherever here is."
"Check out the things on these shelves," said Michael as he walked around. "Weird jars of weird stuff." He took a book from a shelf and read "Magic for Beginners?"
"This is a magic shop. A real magic shop." Said Amelie.
"Maybe that's it. Maybe something magic happened." Said Myrnin.
"Magic?" Oliver scoffed. "Magic is balderdash and chicanery. I'm afraid we don't know a bloody thing." Oliver suddenly noticed his accent. "Except I seem to be British don't I? And a man. Well, that narrows it down considerably."
"I don't like this." Said Monica to Claire.
"It's going to be ok." Claire said reassuringly. "We'll take care of each other." Monica nods through her tears.
"Yes, we'll get our memories back and we'll be right as rain." Oliver said.
"Oh, listen to Mary Poppins!" Said Eve from behind the counter. "Got his crust all stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. You Englishmen are always so…." Eve suddenly noticed her accent. "Bloody hell." She tests herself. "Sodding, blimy, shagging, knickers, bullocks. Oh god. I'm English."
"Welcome to the Nancy tribe." Oliver said.
Eve stepped out from behind the counter and looked Oliver up and down. A thought was creeping into her mind. "You don't suppose….You and I…..We're not related are we?"
Shane laughed slightly.
"There is a ruggedly handsome resemblance" said Amelie. Oliver looks at her as if to say 'thank you'. He turns to Eve and says "Well you do inspire a particular familiarity….and disappointment." He points at himself. "Older brother?"
Eve scoffed. "Father!"
"Fa—!"
"Oh god, how I must hate you!"
"What did I do?"
"There's always something and what's with the tart." Eve indicates to Amelie.
"Her?" Oliver asked.
"I saw you, sleeping together." Eve said.
"Uh resting together." Oliver out held his hand out defensively.
"Look!" Amelie shows them her engagement ring which she had when she was in engaged in her human days. "It's ok, we're engaged."
"Oh." Oliver smiles at her.
"It's a lovely ring." Amelie smiles back.
"Oh great, a tarty step-mum whose half old daddy's age." Eve said looking at them.
"Tarty!" Amelie exclaimed.
"Old! I'm young enough to still get carded….."Oliver said.
"Carded!" Shane exclaimed. "Driver licenses!" Everyone starts going through their pockets. "Oh I don't have one."
"I don't" Myrnin said.
"I do" Michael said and read it out loud. "Michael Glass, hey look I exist." He held up his driver license. "Michael. Such a common name"
"Oh, I like it" said Eve and smiled at him. He smiled back.
"Mine is Amelie Woodard."
"Uh…I don't have a wallet." Said Monica to Claire.
"That's ok. Me neither." Claire spots Monica wearing an identity necklace. "Look, your name is Monica."
"Or Acinom." She gave a soft laugh.
"Now, let's see I'm Oliver Pierce."
"Oliver?" Eve laughed.
"You're not too old to put across my knee…daughter. Anyway what do I call you?"
Eve pats her pockets but finds nothing. She looks on the inside of her jacket which she found in the shop because she was cold. She read the inside. "Made with care for Ruby." Her eyes widened. She was aghast. "Ruby Pierce? Why didn't you just call 'Horny Pierce' or 'Desperate-for-a-shag Pierce? I knew there was a reason I hated you."
"Ruby is a family name." Oliver says defensively. "Undoubtedly."
