DISCLAIMER
Now we move to Cybill Sheridan and Maryann Thorpe. This is a little B movie in style, again that is deliberate, And to see Laverne and Shirley behaving like Rambo has got to be read to be believed. Read on, and have a giggle if you like, but no flames.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CYBILL AND MARYANN
Cybill and Maryann's Room - The Tardis
Cybill Sheridan looked at Maryann Thorpe sleeping in the next bed. They had been through hell and back, probably more than once. Firstly, the events on New Texas had taken a lot out of both of them. Cybill and Maryann nearly died on that planet, and that took a lot to get over. Secondly, mainly because of what happened, Maryann had way too much to drink. Partly out of celebration, partly out of a sense of relief. Cybill could see that her best friend was sleeping peacefully, dreaming a dream of contentment, or was she? Cybill thought she could hear mumbling. She crossed over to her bed to listen.
"You ruined my life, Doctor Dick," Maryann mumbled.
"Oh god!" Cybill whispered "Here we go again."
"I've got to kill that Son of a Bitch," Maryann continued "You have to understand that, my darling wives. It is the only way I can be free and we can live the life we deserve. I need closure."
Cybill stroked Maryann's hair. This was the first time that Doctor Dick's death has been suggested in any other way than revenge. The events of New Texas had changed everything. Maryann had a new life, a new beginning, and a new marriage to make work. Cybill knew that Maryann had to end this feud with Doctor Dick if her new marriage was going to work. Wives? She said wives plural, didn't she? Who else did she marry on New Texas. She didn't have a chance to marry Kate McCardle, Allie Lowell, Laverne De Fazio, Rose, Donna, Martha, or, god forbid, Shirley Feeney, did she? She shook her head and stroked Maryann's hair again.
"It's good that you want closure, Maryann, my darling wife," Cybill kissed the top of Maryann's head "Maybe Rose, Donna and Martha did us a favour by taking us on a trip in the Tardis. You and I needed perspective. We needed to find each other. But why wives?"
Maryann stirred slightly but didn't wake up. Cybill returned to her bed and picked up the diary she had taken from the room after Laverne, Shirley, Kate and Allie had left. She had read what they had written about the events of the bus station and allowed herself a smile, especially at the thought of prissy Shirley Feeney virtually raping Kate McCardle. She wished she had been there. But then she had witnessed Miss Feeney's dark side herself, hadn't she? That was Shirley Feeney dressed like Rambo threatening to blow those creeps to hell if they didn't release Maryann and Cybill herself, wasn't it? She picked up a pen and opened the diary.
Flashback - Twelve Hours Earlier
It was meant to be the highlight of the New Texas social year. It was the annual hoe-down, a time when all New Texans let their hair down. Rose, Donna, Martha, Laverne, Shirley, Kate, Allie, Cybill and Maryann had been invited as the special guests of Senator Albert Kirk, a man they had saved from political ruin after Rose, Donna and Martha had uncovered a plot to discredit Kirk by a rival Senator by the name of Alfred Greyskull. It took a lot of skill and blind luck to pull it off. The skill came from Cybill, Maryann, Kate and Allie who used their seductive skills to keep Greyskull busy whilst Rose, Donna, Martha, Laverne and Shirley used up a lot of blind luck to break into Greyskull's headquarters, find the evidence Greyskull had on Kirk's minor indiscretions and destroy it. The luck went deeper, because as they were finding the evidence Greyskull had on Kirk, they were also finding evidence of corruption on a massive scale, enough to send Greyskull to the nearest penal colony if it got out. Now Greyskull was dead. Unfortunately, the person holding the smoking gun was Maryann Thorpe, and there was evidence that Cybill Sheridan may have been an accomplice. How did that happen?
For a start, Cybill wasn't there when the crime was being committed. She had however seen Maryann being dragged out of the dance hall by one of Greyskull's lackey's and went after them to prevent what they had planned for her best friend. Then she heard the sound of laser fire. That forced Cybill into a run. When she arrived, she saw the lackey fleeing for his life and a body lying on the ground, the body of Alfred Greyskull. Maryann stood there with a gun in her hand, frozen to the spot. Cybill went to examine the body, and saw that Greyskull was dead. She got up and gently took the gun out of Maryann's hand.
"What happened, Maryann?" Cybill asked.
"They were going to kill me, Cybill," Maryann said "Greyskull was going to kill me and leave my bloodless corpse as a message to the rest of you."
"A message?"
"That the corruption on this planet goes deeper than we thought," Maryann said "He was gloating about having enough clout to have all charges dropped against him."
"And you shot him?"
"I had to, he was starting to strangle me."
"Where did you get the gun?"
"I don't know," Maryann said "I dropped my purse and it fell out. I managed to get free of him by kneeing him where it hurts, then I snatched up the gun and fired. It was pure instinct, Cybill. I certainly didn't mean to kill him."
They heard whistles and a commotion behind them.
"Run!" Cybill said.
"Maybe we can explain," Maryann said.
"They wont listen," Cybill said "Run!"
Cybill and Maryann started running. They found a Skimmer open.
Cybill and Maryann got in and slammed the door just as the pack was closing on them.
"You don't know how to drive one, Cybill," Maryann said.
"It can't be that hard."
Cybill pressed a combination of buttons and managed to get the Skimmer moving, knocking over some very angry people as she did so.
Cybill and Maryann's Room - The Tardis
Cybill looked at Maryann again. They now knew where the gun came from. What they didn't know was how the gun got into Maryann's purse.
"Not that you actually shot Greyskull," Cybill said "We now know that you missed, that somebody else framed you for his death, but why plant that gun on you? It could have been me, Kate or Allie? Why you?"
Cybill stroked Maryann's hair again. It was a question that would haunt Cybill. Why was Maryann Thorpe singled out for death? Why was she set up as the Fall Guy? She took up her pen and started writing.
Flashback - The Forest, New Texas
The skimmer hurtled along the only road that threaded through the dense forest. Cybill was in the drivers seat, but she wasn't finding it easy steering the skimmer, especially around corners, at high speed.
"Cyb," Maryann said anxiously "You sure you can handle this car?"
They had just avoided smashing into a tree, and that took blind panic and sheer instinct to press the right button at the right time.
"I'm handling it so far," Cybill argued.
Yet again she had to react quickly as another tree loomed large in front of them. She managed to make the turning, just.
"I think I'm going to be sick," Maryann said.
"Not in here, pal."
Yet again, Cybill made another sharp turning.
"Why can't they build these damned roads in a straight line?" Cybill asked.
They almost lurched as Cybill made the next turning.
"We're going to hit something soon," Maryann complained.
"We're not going to hit something," Cybill returned.
Suddenly they jolted as the skimmer glanced off an object.
"Cybill!"
"I know," Cybill said "We've hit something."
They burst free of the trees and headed into a long green expanse. That was when the skimmer started misfiring. Maryann grasped Cybill's arm.
"Okay Maryann, let's not panic," Cybill said.
"Easy for you to say," Maryann said "You're not facing a firing squad."
"They wouldn't."
"Remember when we arrived, remember when Shirley suggested we should leave after they shot that poor guy on public television."
Cybill nodded. It was the one of the few times that Cybill Sheridan agreed with Shirley Feeney.
"What was his crime anyway?"
"Theft," Maryann said.
"You don't execute people for theft," Cybill said.
"You do on this planet," Maryann returned "And if they do that for theft, god knows what they'll do for murder."
"We wont get caught, Maryann," Cybill promised "And my head is much on the chopping block as yours."
"How?"
"Aiding and abetting after the fact."
The skimmer chose that moment to grind painfully to a halt. As it stopped Cybill and Maryann looked at each other.
"Damn!" They chorused together.
They got out and examined the back of the skimmer.
"Totalled," Cybill said.
"That's all we need," Maryann said.
Cybill looked beyond the car to the forest. Nobody seemed to be following them.
"At least we've lost our pursuers, for now."
Maryann slammed her hand on the now completely useless skimmer.
"Now what?"
"We walk?"
Maryann looked down at the dress she was wearing. Cybill bent down and tore a strip off it thus freeing her ability to walk. Maryann looked at Cybill's dress and did the same thing. Cybill looked down Maryann's dress and saw something a little unusual for Maryann Thorpe.
"Maryann," Cybill said "Where's your underwear?"
"Where's yours?" Maryann countered.
"It's hot," Cybill protested "I was sweating."
"Ditto!"
They started walking.
Two Hours Later
For two hours Cybill and Maryann walked. The high heels that they were wearing had been abandoned long ago, and the dresses, once the finest on New Texas, was now torn and shredded.
"Must be close to mid-day," Maryann complained.
She was wearing a piece of her dress around her head to try and keep the effects of the sun of her head. But Cybill could see the sweat stains on the rest of her dress suggesting that Maryann was close to dehydration. Cybill wasn't feeling too great herself. They needed water and they needed it soon.
"I'd kill for some water right now," Maryann continued "Nice, cool refreshing water."
"Tell me about it, pal," Cybill moaned.
She looked at the trees around them.
"There must be something," Cybill continued "These trees don't grow on fresh air."
"Justin would know," Maryann said.
"Justin isn't here," Cybill said.
"More's the pity."
Maryann stopped.
"Maryann?"
"I need a rest, Cyb."
Cybill nodded. The two of them found a rock and sat on it with their backs to each other.
"I'm sorry, Cybill," Maryann said.
"For what?"
"For putting you in this mess."
"It was Greyskull who tried to kill you," Cybill said "You were just defending yourself."
"I shouldn't have allowed it to happen," Maryann said "That bastard reminded me so much of Doctor Dick, so much that when I pulled the trigger I enjoyed doing it. I enjoyed seeing that son of a bitch die."
"Maryann."
"Cybill, hear me out," Maryann quickly said.
Cybill reached behind and took Maryann's hand.
"I know what Laverne, Shirley, Kate and Allie think of me. I know that they think that I'm a loose cannon ready to self destruct," Maryann said "Maybe they're right."
Cybill squeezed Maryann's hand.
"They don't know you like I do."
Maryann turned to look at Cybill.
"Cybill, even you think it, and I know that Rose, Donna and Martha do," Maryann took both of Cybill's hands "If you're right and your head is as much on the chopping block as mine, you are facing a death sentence because of me. You're facing it because I keep seeing Doctor Dick in every bad guy we come up against. As I said, I enjoyed killing that bastard because I was picturing myself killing Richard Thorpe."
"What do you want me to do?"
"You could distance yourself from me," Maryann suggested "You could claim that I took you hostage, forced you to steal that skimmer."
"I think we're well past that, Maryann," Cybill said "And even if it was true, they wouldn't believe me. The only hope we have is that Rose, Donna, Martha, Kate, Allie, Laverne and, god forbid, Shirley Feeney, finds us before the posse does."
For the first time Maryann smiled.
"You really have it in for Shirley."
"She's too self righteous," Cybill admitted "It's a wonder Laverne De Fazio even tolerated her let alone be her best friend."
"Maybe you should be looking for what Laverne sees in Shirley," Maryann suggested "She certainly sees something because they're as close as you and me and Kate McCardle and Allie Lowell. I think Laverne would give her life for Shirley and vice versa."
"You'd give your life for me?" Cybill asked.
That question took Maryann a little by surprise. She recovered enough to ask:
"Would you?"
"Yes," Cybill said without hesitation "If you hadn't killed Greyskull, I would have done for you."
"Oh, Cybill," Maryann said.
Suddenly a scream made them both freeze. Another scream made both of their hearts beat faster.
"Where did it come from?" Cybill asked.
Maryann closed her eyes for a moment. Another scream echoed through the glades.
"That way," Maryann said pointing towards the trees.
"You sure?"
Maryann gave Cybill a look. Cybill shrugged and followed Maryann towards the trees. They emerged at a place of true nirvana, a lake, a lake of cool, clear water. Cybill hugged Maryann and virtually ran towards the water stripping off her dress as she did so. Cybill dived in and began splashing around. Maryann removed her dress and headed towards the water when she saw two teenagers, probably eighteen or a little older, looking at her. She stopped, completely naked, and stared at the boys.
"Cybill!"
"Come on, Maryann," Cybill called "It's lovely."
"Cybill," Maryann repeated a little more anxiously.
"What's wrong, Maryann?"
"Remember those screams."
"Yes."
Maryann nodded in the direction of the two boys. Cybill looked in the direction where Maryann was nodding and saw the two boys. She covered both her breasts and her private parts with her arms.
"Who are you?" The Taller of the two boys asked "This is our lake."
"Can we borrow it for a while?" Maryann said "We've travelled a long way and we need to clean up a bit."
The two boys looked at each other.
"Maryann?" Cybill said.
"Please," Maryann asked "We wont be long."
The two boys looked at Maryann's naked form with appreciation.
"Like what you see?"
"Maryann, they're children," Cybill hissed.
"Play along, Cyb," Maryann said "Show them your body."
"You're kidding."
"We need their help," Maryann said.
Cybill looked at Maryann and took a deep breath. She uncovered herself.
"Have a good look, boys," Cybill said.
Maryann then dived into the water and began splashing Cybill. Cybill glared at her, then realised what she was doing. They were playing like children. Cybill began splashing back. The boys began laughing. Maryann punished the laughter by splashing the boys. Soon four 'children' were playing splashing games and laughing.
Two Hours Later
Cybill and Maryann had turned the remains of their now ruined dresses into makeshift bikinis and were now walking with the boys into the village the boys called home. It was a makeshift camp that wouldn't have been out of place in National Geographic. The village was littered with mud huts, and men and women wearing little more than Cybill and Maryann themselves.
A man approached them, he was Cybill's height with a greying beard.
"Welcome strangers," He said.
"Thank you," Cybill said "I'm Cybill, this is my friend Maryann, we are travellers in need of shelter and food."
"We can give you both."
He clapped his hands and women rushed towards him.
"Prepare the banquet for our special guests."
"There's no need," Cybill said.
Both Maryann and Cybill were guided towards a hut by two women, whilst others rushed around to prepare this makeshift banquet. When they entered the hut they had petal necklaces put around them and were generally pampered by a bevy of women.
"There's no need for this, ladies," Cybill said.
Cybill's protest was ignored as the ladies continued pampering both Cybill and Maryann.
"I suggest that you sit back and enjoy," Maryann suggested.
"This is exploitation," Cybill said "It's wrong."
The ladies giggled at Cybill's suggestion.
"Do you understand?" Cybill said "You don't have to do this for us. All we need is food and place to rest."
The ladies giggled again.
"What is going on here?"
"Come on, Cybill, just relax and enjoy," Maryann said.
Cybill looked at Maryann.
"You are aware that women are doing this to you not guys?"
"So?"
"Maryann, I've never seen this side of you before."
"What side?"
"The gay side."
"Gay?"
"Lesbian."
"I'm willing to try anything once," Maryann said with a smile "And I need a facial and a little pampering. After what we've been through we deserve it."
Cybill shrugged and allowed the women to pamper her.
"This isn't too bad."
Maryann glanced at Cybill and chuckled.
Three Hours Later
The banquet was in full flow. Both Cybill and Maryann were finding that they were enjoying themselves. They had witnessed a dance in their honour, and the food was a gourmet's delight for people so primitive.
"This is better than Hollywood," Cybill whispered to Maryann.
"In what way?"
"The whole atmosphere," Cybill said "I'm expecting some director to say cut any minute."
"It certainly has a feature film like quality," Maryann agreed "I wonder who I'm playing."
Cybill gave Maryann a look. Maryann gave her an impish grin and then accepted another piece of fruit from a serving girl.
"I wish they wouldn't use their women like this though," Cybill said.
"Cybill!"
"It's degrading."
"What did Martha tell you?"
Cybill looked at Maryann quizzically.
"Never get yourself involved in other people's culture, however repugnant it may seem to you, remember?" Maryann said.
"Said by somebody who regularly gets herself involved in Doctor Dick's affairs."
"Different matter."
"In what way?"
"He dumped me for some floozy," Maryann said "Ruining his life was the least I could do."
"Floozy?"
"Okay, floozies," Maryann said "The point is that the exploitation of women in this tribe is probably part of the culture of this tribe. Dick couldn't control his libido, so he needed to be reminded that he couldn't get away with exploiting me the way he did."
Cybill allowed herself a smile. Boy, did Doctor Dick pay for exploiting Maryann.
"So why haven't we been exploited?" Cybill said "It's blatantly obvious that we're female."
Cybill and Maryann were still wearing the makeshift bikinis that hardly hid their figures.
"We're visitors," Maryann said.
Cybill accepted another fruit from her serving girl. The girl almost ran away giggling. A man walked past shaking his head in disappointment
"What's that all about?" Cybill continued "They've been doing that all evening. Even the guys of this tribe have been shaking their heads in disappointment every time they look at us. Why?"
"Beats me."
Another guy walked past shaking his head.
"Excuse me," Cybill said "Why are you shaking your head like that. What have we done?"
"It's what you're going to do," The man answered.
"What?"
"Such a waste."
"A waste of what?" Maryann asked.
The man scampered away. The Village Elder approached them.
"Is everything to your satisfaction?"
"What's going to happen?" Cybill said "What are we going to do?"
"The ceremony of course," The Village Elder said "We've been expecting your arrival. You will save the tribe from extinction."
"How?"
She heard a crash and saw that Maryann was face down on the table.
"Maryann?"
Cybill shook her best friend softly, and then vigorously.
"Maryann!"
She started to feel woozy. Her vision started blurring.
"What have you done to us?" Cybill slurred.
That was the last thing Cybill said. She slumped forward and was unconscious the moment her head hit the table.
The Cage
The cage Cybill and Maryann woke up was just about big enough to fit two grown people. It was made of the strongest wood and had ropes attached to the bars at the top.
"Cyb," Maryanne said, her voice fearful "What's going on here?"
"I wish I knew," Cybill answered equally fearful "One minute they're wining and dining us, the next moment they're sticking us in this cage. Why?"
Suddenly the cage was being lifted, the action forcing Cybill and Maryann to hang onto the bars of the cage.
"I think we're going to find out why, pal," Maryann said.
"Not helping, Maryann."
The cage was lowered eventually onto a buggy and then secured.
"Hey buddy," Cybill shouted "Why are you doing this?"
The man carrying out this task remained silent. A man wearing the hideous of outfits moved in front of the cage and performed the strangest of dances. It was almost erotic in nature, but both Cybill and Maryann were in no mood to be aroused. Soon, however, the entire village, even the kids they met at the lake, were performing the dance. With each movement, fear grew in both Cybill and Maryann. They held onto each other as a drum beat started and grew louder with each beat.
"What have we done to you?" Maryann shouted over the noise.
Nobody was listening, nobody cared.
"Cyb," Maryann said "I think we're about to die."
Cybill shook her head firmly, but held onto Maryann tighter. She could hear Maryann's heart beating faster as the fear of this situation began taking hold.
"I love you, Maryann," Cybill suddenly said.
"I love you, Cybill," Maryann said in response.
The drum beat suddenly stopped. The man in the outfit raised a large stick in the air.
"My lord Sheehu, it was foretold that the marriage and sacrifice of two in union will restore prosperity to the tribe that you created."
"Marriage?" Cybill said nodding to Maryann "To her?"
"Take this couple to the pit of sacrifice where the union will be blessed."
"Marriage, Cybill," Maryann half smiled "To me."
"Followed by sacrifice," Cybill added.
"They never said life was going to be easy."
Cybill chuckled a little, then placed her head lightly on Maryann's. The buggy started moving.
Cybill and Maryann's Room - The Tardis
Cybill stopped writing for a minute and looked at Maryann. The ceremony was the strangest they had ever been through. She looked at the slight scar on her left hand where she was persuaded to cut using a very sharp knife, and then picked up Maryann's right hand and saw a similar scar where Maryann was made to cut her hand with the same knife. Maryann stirred at the touch but instead of letting the hand go, Cybill grasped it tighter as if repeating the bonding ceremony they went through in that cage.
"Cybill," Maryann said with her eyes still shut "I will always love you."
"So will I, pal," Cybill said with tears in her eyes "Love you, that is."
Maryann opened her eyes and looked at Cybill.
"Maryann, I'm so sorry."
"Cybill, I could hear you moving around," Maryann said
She sat up and saw the diary in Cybill's hand.
"Writing about our marriage?"
"Felt I had to."
Maryann took the diary from Cybill and read what she had written. She then looked at Cybill through lowered eyebrows.
"Okay, it's a bit liberal with the facts," Cybill said.
"Liberal?" Maryann shrugged and then kissed Cybill's hand "Why not, my darling wife."
"You said wives in your sleep."
"Did I?"
"Yes you did."
"I probably meant Laverne, Shirley, Kate and Allie as well as you," Maryann admitted.
"When did you marry Laverne, Shirley, Kate and Allie?"
"When I married you," Maryann said "We're Daughters of Herne remember. You're as much married to Laverne, Shirley, Kate and Allie as I am. You physically married me but you emotionally married Laverne De Fazio, Kate McCardle, Allie Lowell and Shirley Feeney as well."
"I married Feeney?"
"Sorry, pal, you were meant to."
"Sorry, you're going to have to explain that to me," Cybill said.
"I'll leave the mechanics of that to Rose, Donna or Martha," Maryann said.
"Because you don't understand it yourself."
"Got it in one."
"Chicken!"
"I'm not going to explain how comes you are married to Shirley Feeney as well as Laverne, Kate, Allie and me."
Cybill made a clucking sound.
"Write!" Maryann said pointing to the diary.
"Yes. Mein Fuhrer."
Cybill picked up the pen and began writing, this time with Maryann looking over her shoulder.
Flashback - The Pit of Sacrifice
Maryann held onto Cybill as the cage was raised off the buggy and over a trap door. They both held their breath as the trap door was opened and fire belched out from the pit. They looked down and saw that the heat they were feeling was coming from a lava flow that was running along the bottom of the pit.
"Cybill!" Maryann said in mounting panic.
"At least it'll be quick," Cybill said with a frightened laugh.
"The union will be cemented by fire," The man in the costume called "Lord Sheehu, receive this sacrifice, restore the bountiful times to the tribe."
The cage was lowered towards the lava. Both Cybill and Maryann could feel the heat as the cage started to go into the pit. Then an explosion rocked the area and caused the cage to jolt violently to a halt. The jolt threw both Cybill and Maryann to the bottom of the cage leaving them face to face with the lava.
"Maryann!" Cybill squeaked.
Another explosion rocked the area. This time it was a followed up by a voice, a familiar voice.
"Let them go, or I will turn this place into ashes."
"Feeney?" Cybill said in surprise.
Both Cybill and Maryann hauled themselves up and saw Laverne De Fazio and Shirley Feeney standing on a mound. Both of them were holding big guns and looking like female John Rambo's.
"Feeney," Cybill repeated "What the hell?"
They also saw some of the braver man rush towards Laverne and Shirley. Both of them opened fire and blew their attackers back.
"Don't make us hurt ya," Laverne said.
"Just raise the cage out of that pit and let your prisoners go," Shirley continued "Now!"
The man in the costume bellowed in rage and made to cut the rope to the cage.
"Please don't do that," Laverne said "Don't make us hurt you."
The man hacked at the rope shouting:
"Lord Sheehu, receive this sacrifice and destroy the blasphemers who dare interfere."
Both Laverne and Shirley opened fire again blowing the man backwards. He was clearly dead
"Jesus, Feeney, De Fazio," Cybill shouted "You've blown his head off."
Both Laverne and Shirley looked shocked at the savagery of what they had just done. Fortunately for them, the rest of the tribe were so stunned by the savagery these two women used to kill their leader, they were too frightened to come anywhere near them.
"Laverne, Shirley," Maryann called.
"We didn't mean to kill him," Shirley half wailed "We only wanted to scare him.
"Please!" Maryann said "Before they recover."
Laverne nodded and took out a sonic screwdriver. She approached the cage and looked at the lava below.
"You would have fried in that," Laverne said.
"Yes, Laverne," Cybill said "Please GET US THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"
Laverne opened the cage door using the sonic screwdriver. She then helped both Cybill and Maryann jump out of the cage to the safety of land. They ran towards Shirley just as braver men approached them again, looking for revenge. Shirley waited until Laverne, Cybill and Maryann was behind her before opening fire again forcing their attackers back. The four of them started running. They reached the Skimmer Laverne and Shirley arrived in and were moving before the rest of the tribe could catch them.
"Thank you," Maryann said "Both of you."
"How did you find us?" Cybill said.
"Donna placed a tracker on you, on all of us," Laverne said "We used some equipment from the Tardis to trace you."
"A tracker?" Maryann said "How did she get it on us?"
"Remember that injection she gave us," Shirley said.
"Donna said it was some sort of flu shot," Cybill said.
"It was more than that," Laverne said "It was the way the tracker was placed inside us."
"Can it harm us?" Cybill asked.
"Martha says no," Laverne said "And I believe her."
"I assume we're heading back to the Tardis," Maryann said.
Shirley shook her head.
"Why?"
"Senator Kirk advised us to keep on the move," Laverne said "We need to buy Kate and Allie time to find the witness."
"A witness?" Both Cybill and Maryann said together.
"It seemed that somebody witnessed what happened," Shirley said "It seems that you did not shoot Greyskull."
"I did," Maryann protested.
"You shot at him," Shirley said "But you missed. Somebody else delivered the fatal shot."
"Maryann, you missed," Cybill almost screamed.
"I missed," Maryann looked puzzled "I never miss."
"You did this time, Maryann," Laverne said "But we still need to keep moving in order to give Kate and Allie time to find this witness."
"They still think we're guilty?" Cybill said.
"In one," Laverne said.
"Face it, Cyb," Maryann said "The nightmare isn't over."
Cybill put her arms around Maryann.
"It soon will be, my darling wife."
Laverne and Shirley looked at each other and mouthed "Darling Wife".
"What you stopped was the second part of the ceremony," Maryann said "The first part was Cybill and my marriage to each other."
"You're kidding," Laverne said.
"It probably isn't legal," Cybill said "But Maryann and I got married today."
Cybill and Maryann's Room - The Tardis
Cybill and Maryann looked at each other.
"I think Feeney looked shocked at the thought," Cybill said.
"Probably," Maryann said "Or maybe it put ideas in her head."
Cybill looked at Maryann quizzically.
"Trust me, Cyb," Maryann said "Look at the way Shirley looks at Laverne, and remember because we are Daughters of Herne, and as Laverne, Shirley, Kate, Allie, You and I are already married to each other emotionally, that physical marriage will have to take place sooner or later."
"As will Kate and Allie's," Cybill mused.
"I love you, Cyb," Maryann said.
Cybill kissed the top of Maryann's head.
"I love you Maryann Thorpe Sheridan, or should it be Maryann Jukovich Sheridan."
"Or Maryann Sheridan Jukovich, or Maryann Sheridan Thorpe."
"Don't push it."
They kissed each other.
