Ewing Enterprises had been the talk of the town all week. Many citizens of Dallas had already discussed the revival of the Ewing family, including Cliff Barnes. Many people were eager to know who posessed shares of the said company. John Ross Ewing had already discussed with his family about Ewing Enterprises, the shares were as followed; John Ross, J.R, Bobby, Christopher and Sue Ellen each had 20% of the company.
Sue Ellen Ewing was busy woman, but the one thing she always had spare time for; was her family. Sue Ellen feared the frustration that was spreading and she immediately had to fix it. Sue Ellen sauntered over to the kitchen in her apartment and dialled a number. "Hello Valene, this is Sue Ellen".
"Sue Ellen, how are you?" Valene Ewing asked, her voice sounded oh so sweet as it usually did.
"Well, the family have had a bit of a falling out over John Ross recently opening up another oil company, I was wondering if you, Gary and the twins wanted to come to Dallas for the week? it would help a lot" Sue Ellen explained.
Valene understood the situation and pondered on her answer. "We'll be there!" Valene said.
Sue Ellen hung up the phone and smiled.
"Honey come back to bed!" Amanda Carter soon to be Ewing ordered. Christopher tumbled out of his king sized bed and started to dress himself in a dark blue suit. "I wish I could, John Ross is having a board meeting today and as you know I have to be there".
Amanda sighed and tucked herself in her silk duvet. "Where did John Ross get that money from anyway?" Amanda asked curiously. Christopher straightened out his tie and answered. "Beats me, you know what John Ross is like, he'll do anything to get what he wants" Christopher said.
Christopher leans towards Amanda and plants a delicate kiss on her cheek before leaving.
John Ross slouched in his seat, a board meeting for Ewing Enterprises was about to begin, some of the toughest members of the Ewing family were about to enter the board room and John Ross was prepared, he wasn't going to fail.
J.R, Sue Ellen, Bobby and Christopher Ewing all entered the board room in a single file line, John Ross grinned at his family as they all took to their seats. Sue Ellen sat beside John Ross whilst Christopher sat next to Bobby, J.R sat alone in the middle of the table.
"Thank you all for joining me, I'd firstly like to say that it is with great pleasure that Ewing Enterprises will have a huge impact on our lives as well as the mounds of oil beneath us!" John Ross explained. Sue Ellen smiled delightly at her son.
"Now that all the pleasantries are over, can you get to the point!" Christopher snapped.
"Christopher!" Bobby whispered, trying to calm his son.
John Ross ignored his cousin's comment before resuming his speech. "Anyway, I think the way to make this a success is to up our game, stop drilling in small fields and start conquering big land, its the only way we can do this" John Ross explained.
J.R stood up and squeezed his son tightly. "Well done son that sounds excellent, if only Christopher had the Ewing thinking like you have" J.R scoffed, a sly grin emerged on his face.
Bobby angrily rose to his feet and confronted J.R. "How dare you! Oil is the reason this family divided years ago and thanks to John Ross it's the reason it's going to divide again!" Bobby hollered. After saying his piece Bobby stormed out of the office with Christopher following behind.
"You've really outdone yourself this time J.R! I didn't think you could stoop any lower!" Sue Ellen snapped, following her nephew.
Ding Dong! Lucy Ewing Cooper rushed towards the Southfork front door and instantly pulled it open. "Mum? Dad?" Lucy said curiously. Gary, Valene, Betsy and the second Bobby Ewingpiled through the Southfork doors.
"Darling, it's so nice to see you!" Gary said, stroking his eldest daughter's golden hair. Lucy smiled in return. 29 year old twins Bobby and Betsy stood awkwardly by the front door. Betsy was average height and had tanned skin, her hair resembled the shade of chestnut and tousled lightly beside her chest.
Bobby was the same height, his hair colour was exactly the same. Betsy was wearing a navy blue coloured dress whilst Bobby was wearing a white polo shirt. "What are you doing here?" Lucy asked her parents.
"Sue Ellen gave us a call, she told us about the situation, were staying in Dallas for a week or two" Valene responded.
Lucy indicated to the guest room upstairs, Gary grabbed his suitcases and took them to his room, Valene followed.
"So, how have you guys been?" Lucy asked her twin siblings happily.
"Where will we be sleeping?" Bobby asked, ignoring Lucy's question. Lucy counted to ten in her head and tried to remove her anger. "Well, all the rooms upstairs are being used so, Betsy you can stay in the spare room downstairs and Bobby you can stay in hayloft" Lucy explained.
Bobby rolled his eyes and folded his arms. "God Bobby, don't act so hard done by!" Betsy yelled, both twins picked up their suitcases and took them to their rooms.
Pamela Rebecca Barnes paced heavily around her apartment. Pamela was dressed in a purple blouse and white trousers, her long brunette hair was tied back swiftly in a ponytail. Pamela had endured so much over the last few weeks. John Ross and her had begun a passionate affair and J.R had found out and was now a shareholder in Ewing Enterprises. Pamela didn't know where her and John Ross's relationship was heading, at first it seemed like a way to offload all of their bezerk emotions but now Pamela felt herself being drawn to John Ross, both physically and emotionally.
What to do.
Suddenly Pamela was caught off guard; John Ross had entered. "Hello Pamela".
"John Ross" Pamela Rebecca responded. "Can I ask you something?"
John Ross pondered the thought and grinned seductively. "Anything for you darlin'" John Ross replied. Pamela confronted her lover and approached him. "Has it just been sex for you? I want to know where I stand John Ross, I want to know if all this is just a distraction from our family's drama, tell me John Ross, please!" Pamela explained.
John Ross was so disorganised, so bewildered, so confused! John Ross had deep feelings for Pamela, deeper feelings than he had ever had for anyone else, it amazed him that he was even thinking about it. "Pamela I've been wanting to say this to you for a long time, over the last few days I've been having these weird feelings, every time a girl comes near me I feel almost repulsed by them, I think I'm falling in love with you" John Ross said.
Pamela slowly took a step back. "The question is, do you feel the same way?". Pamela felt the tension inside her loosen and suddenly she lunged towards John Ross and kissed him passionately. "Does that answer your question?!" Pamela asked seductively.
"It sure does!" John Ross responded.
A couple of hours had passed. since the confrontation in the board room. Lucy and Sue Ellen Ewing had cooked a feast and were now preparing it for serving. Bobby, J.R, Christopher, John Ross, Gary, Valene, Betsy and The Second Bobby Ewing all sat around the Southfork dinner table. Sue Ellen and Lucy waltzed through to the dining room juggling plates in their hands.
"Dinner, is served!" Sue Ellen said, placing the plates in front of everyone. Amanda strolled into the dining room and took her seat next to Christopher. Suddenly as Betsy Ewing turned her head she noticed Amanda's entrance. "YOU!" Betsy yelled, in an abrupt movement Betsy leapt from her chair and lunged towards Amanda, tackling her to the floor. Betsy tried to choke Amanda before being pulled off by Gary, Bobby and Valene. "What in the god's name was that for?!" Gary bellowed, ashamed of his daughter. Christopher comforted Amanda whilst Lucy brought her a glass of water.
"Remember about eight or nine months ago, my boyfriend Rick was shot by a police officer, she is that police officer!" Betsy said, indicating towards Amanda.
John Ross and J.R stared wide eyed at both Betsy and Amanda. "Betsy you must be mistaken, Amanda isn't in the police force" Christopher said, correcting his cousin.
"She's not wrong Christopher. Before we met I was living in Knots Landing for a while; as a police officer, Betsy's boyfriend Rick Marsden was robbing a bank, with hostages inside, I had no other choice. Betsy I had no idea he was your boyfriend, I didn't even know who you were at that point, I'm sorry" Amanda apologised.
Everyone at the table was shocked for words. "That's not going to bring him back is it!" Betsy said, with that she stormed off.
Cliff Barnes sat eagerly waiting for someone in his office at Barnes Oil. The office Cliff resided in used to belong to J.R Ewing, when it was Ewing Oil of course. Cliff folded his arms and patiently waited for his guest to arrive. Suddenly the door to Cliff's office opened.
His guest had arrived.
