Intermission
-------
After the last show, the producer called the host for a mini-meeting, going over the results of their latest shows.
MapleRose sighed and mused aloud, "Maybe we should change the title to Crazy Couples instead…"
"Well, maybe if we had more canon couples, you know, couples that actually get along, the show may not end so sour all the time…" the producer suggested.
"Yes, let's do that," agreed the host with a headache.
"Hmm," the producer considered what he'd just said. "But then it won't be as interesting. I mean, people love violence. That's why our rating's so high right now." A light bulb seemed to come on as the producer jumped up in excitement. "Hey, you know what we should do? Instead of couples, we should do love triangles!"
"What!"
"Yeah, like the time we had Fllay, Kira, and Sai. Maybe we should do Miriallia, Tolle, and Dearka, and see the boys fight over Miriallia. Or have Mwu, Murrue, and Natarle and see a catfight between the girls." The producer got more and more worked up at this developing idea. "No, if you want to see a catfight, let's invite Fllay, Kira, and Lacus! We can even throw in Cagalli too! Wouldn't that be great?"
MapleRose could only stare at the producer, mouth open in disbelief.
"No, no, NO!" she finally cried out. "I don't care about the stupid ratings! I'd die if things go like you've just suggested! This headache will kill me, or I might end up being the one in a mental ward!"
"Oh come on."
"NO!" the annoyed host reiterated. "This was supposed to be for couples, remember? It's not Jerry Springer. If you changed it like that, then I quit! Find yourself another host who's willing to put up with this nonsense."
"Fine," the producer finally gave in. "We'll stick to couples."
"Good, thank you," MapleRose replied and left the room.
When she was out of earshot, the producer smiled. "Yes, we'll stick to couples…for now."
AN: You're expecting the interview with Mwu and Murrue, and instead you get this little blurb... don't you feel cheated? what's this you ask? ur, a stalling tactic?...
I have the next chapter almost finished, and I can't decide on who to interview next, Asucaga or DearkaMilly...
