Number 9: (into single figures now!)
The awkward moment when… someone writes books on Morganville, just for all the facts to be wrong
"This is utter drivel!" Amelie yells as she throws Carpe Corpus on the table of her home, which she shares with her partner, Sam Glass.
"What is it now, Amelie?" Sam asks her as he pulls her into his shoulder. She shakes her head and wipes the tears from her eyes, unable to believe the events of the past three books.
"You, you die!" she wails into his shoulder, unable to accept it. She sobs and sobs into his shoulder, ignoring his attempts at reasoning with her, until the tears finally fade.
"Honey, it's only a book series – fiction – that isn't true," he consoles her gently, regretting letting her cry into his shirt because it is now soaking wet. "I mean, your Father is dead and he isn't back in town, is he? No, so just relax and remember that I'm not going to die… how do I die, anyway?" he asks inquisitive as to how this author could have killed him, with Bishop back in the life of his daughter.
"He drained you… we had lost control and then we poisoned ourselves as we knew he would kill one of us, but he… he chose you!" Amelie wails, and Sam instantly regrets it because she is beginning to cry again.
"Amelie, he isn't here, is he?"
"No," she replies quietly, not seeing the purpose of the question…
"Well then he can't do anything, can he? That's fiction, not the prophecy of the future!" he exclaims loudly, kissing the forehead of the woman he loves softly.
This would be ok but…
"Hello?" Amelie answers the phone to Oliver, wondering what he could want now.
"Just thought you should be aware, your Father is back in town and came to me because he thought I still loved you, and you I… how wrong he is," Oliver snorts…
… uhoh… Bishop's back.
Clarification: the lies told in MV would be the fact that Bishop went to Oliver & that Oliver doesn't love Amelie…
Whatcha think?
Next one up tomorrow – involves one of my favourite songs and scenes from MV!
