Hotel Lez
Chapter 14
Giganta: Hotel Lez has been filmed in front of a live studio audience. RIP CBS. You had a great run. If you didn't make a show out of Zoo, then you'd still be around. Just a thought
"it's so weird…CBS has been around for years and years and now…it's all gone" Kelly said
"yeah. What'll happen to me and Alex?" Kara asked worriedly
"nothing, honey, you and your sister will be fine, I promise you" Helga assured, giving Kara a comforting hug
"hey guys look! Mr. Stoker purchased all the old CBS shows" Livewire announced
"you're kidding" Helga gasped
"he got all the hot CBS show babes" Livewire added
"I'm a little worried to ask, but what about Zoo?" Kelly asked
"eh, don't worry about it. He sold it off to G4TV" Livewire answered
"seriously? Our author sells a show out to revive an old TV station?" Helga asked
"yup. He can own ANYTHING" Livewire exclaimed
"hello dears" Regina said warmly
"oh hi Regina" Kelly said cheerfully, giving Regina a hug and kiss
"wow, look how sunny it is" Crysta said cheerfully
"um, excuse me?" asked a red-haired young woman with a British accent
"oh hello. How may I assist you?" Helga asked
"what is the year?" the woman asked
"2016" Dinah answered
"2016?" the woman gasped in shock
"wait a tic… aren't you that girl from Liberty's Kids?" Stella asked
"why yes, yes I am! Sarah Phillips, at your service" Sarah said, doing a curtsy
"Welcome to the regal Hotel Lez. I'm Helga, the manager and owner of this very hotel" Helga said warmly
"this isn't Boston?" Sarah asked
"no, sweetie, this is Los Angeles" Zatanna said
"oh…" Sarah said, bursting into tears
"aw…" everyone awed sadly, Huntress comforting Sarah
"Shhhh… it's ok…shhh…it's ok" Huntress cooed, drying Sarah's eyes
"thank you Ms. Helena" Sarah sniffled, feeling more hopeful
"good girl" Huntress said, kissing her forehead
…
"mmm… such comfy pillows…so soft…" Sarah moaned as Huntress tucked her in
"ok sweetheart, lemme know if you need anything, alright?" Huntress asked, as Sarah snored softly
"ok, g'night sweetie" Huntress crooned, kissing Sarah's cheek as she walked out of the room
"so has our new resident been accommodated to our house?" Helga asked
"yeah. She just fell asleep, so she's gonna be napping for a while" Huntress replied
"aw… she's a little darling, she is" Neyla purrs
"I'll go check on her and see if she's ok" Daphne said, tiptoeing into Sarah's room
"aww…" Daphne awed as Sarah sucked her thumb as she slept softly
"such an angel…" Daphne cooed, rubbing Sarah's back as she slept
…
"well there she is. Good morning sleepyhead" Helga said cheerfully as Sarah woke up
"good morning. I had a good snooze" Sarah said, sitting down to breakfast
"hey guys" Stella said
"hey honey. Where've you been?" Helga asked, giving Stella a hug
"I was in Tahiti with the girls. By the way, I have some bad news" Stella answered
"oh…" everyone awed sadly
"remember the grandma from Everybody Loves Raymond?" Stella asked
"oh no… you don't mean…" Kara said, starting to cry
"yup. She's reunited with Frank up in TV heaven" Stella said sadly
"shhh… it's ok buttercup, it's ok…" Alex cooed softly, hugging a sobbing Kara close
"so Everybody Loves Raymond truly is no more" Kelly said forlornly
"no more I Love Lucy, no more Channel 4 News, no more Entertainment Tonight…" Nyssa listed
"well, we all knew it was coming ladies. It's time for a new generation" Helga said
"yeah. But…" Kara said, sniffling as Helga hugged her close
"as long as you keep the memories in here, they'll never truly fade away" Helga said kindly, pointing at Kara's heart
"thanks Ms. Helga" Kara said happily, showing her bright innocent childlike smile
"you're welcome sweetheart" Helga said, hugging Kara close and kissing her forehead
…
"… I mean, it IS great that G4 TV is back in all its glory and that all the other channels are back to their nostalgic ways, but… the world feels kinda empty with CBS gone" Alex said, her and the others in the TV room, Kara sleeping in Alex's arms
"yeah, it's the beginning of a new world" Livewire said, taking a drink of her Red Bull
"…so what will become of us, big sis?" Kara asked worriedly, Alex smiling softly and ruffling her baby sister's hair
"we're still here buttercup. We'll be here forever" Alex said assuringly, kissing Kara on the cheek
"Promise?" Kara asked
"I promise" Alex said, smiling brightly as she gently rocked Kara back and forth in her arms
…
"I wanna thank you guys for doing this for me" Kara said happily as she and the girls visited the now abandoned set of Everybody Loves Raymond
"hey, we all take care of each other. And so, Helga and I thought we'd give you a sense of closure" Alex said calmly as they entered the house
"it's… it's so deserted. The kitchen, the bedroom… it's like a forgotten relic…" Kelly said, touching the black chair Frank once occupied.
"it's the beginning of a new era. One era ends, a new one starts. It's how life works. As a wise man once said, a king's time rises and falls like the sun" Helga said as she and the others stood over Marie's gravestone. Holding back her tears, Kara gently laid a bouquet of roses plus the pin by the gravestone
"by our deeds, we honour thee. We hath witnessed you and we salute thee as you ride eternal in the highways of Valhalla. In His name we say: V8" Kara said
"V8" everyone echoed, kneeling before the tomb as they each made the War Boy salute
"Goodbye Marie. I'll never forget you. I promise" Kara said, before walking off, holding Alex's hand
…
"I never thought I'd say this, but… this was the most serious chapter ever. And honestly, it felt good. It felt good to let us develop and… try to show our emotions, our feelings. It shows everyone that… we truly are human" Kara said, as everyone was once again snuggled in Kara's bed
