This a special episode of Conversations. It takes place before Exposed. Frankly, I was quite upset with Man of Action for only giving us two episodes after A Family Holiday before COMPLETELY ERASING SIX'S MEMORY! And the two episodes after A Family Holiday had little to no HOLIX! What is up with that? So to satisfy HOLIX cravings I decided to take some liberties and add a conversation before the episode as well as after. I hope you don't mind.
Spektor: I know, about time.
Guest: Glad you liked it. Thanks again for reviewing. I think you've reviewed almost every chapter?
MoonGirl1155: I know you've reviewed almost every chapter. Thanks! I really wish MoA didn't leave us hanging on their relationship.
I don't own
Pre- "Exposed"
"I got your message, Six. What's the big hurry and why did you want me to meet you up on the roof?"
"I didn't want dinner to get cold."
…
"Are you okay?"
"…You… you… you did this all? By yourself? For me?"
"Well, I am eating too."
"Six… but how? I mean there's a table with a table cloth, chairs, candle stick, flowers…"
"Don't forget the food."
"Yes, how on earth…"
"I've been slowly bringing everything up here since this morning."
"When did you find the time? White had us working overtime to prepare for tomorrow. I've never seen him so… agitated before."
"I have my ways. Tomorrow is a big deal. If the report is unfavorable and public opinion turns on us, it is possible we would be defunded."
"Can they really do that?"
"It's possible."
"That's terrible. What's even worse is that he had me rehearsing lines that I would never say. I can't do it. This has me on edge."
"You'll do fine. Just be yourself."
"No, I can't. Did I ever tell you about the time I had to make a speech at graduation?"
"Let me guess, you were valedictorian."
"Are you going to let me tell the story?"
"Sorry, by all means, go ahead."
"Anyway, I got up there, saw all those people, and just froze."
"So what finally happened?"
"Beverly threw her shoe at me. It missed me but hit the podium. The feedback from the microphone snapped me out of my daze and I started reciting my speech like a zombie. It was not pretty."
"Well, there won't be many people there tomorrow just Miss Farrah and her camera man."
"Six, there's going to be a camera which means there's going to be millions of people watching! This will be worse than graduation."
"Do you want me to throw a shoe at you?"
"Be serious Six! I can see why White's a nervous wreck now. I'm starting to get anxious myself. What if I flub my lines? What if I start babbling… like an idiot? I don't want to be the cause of Providence's demise."
"Rebecca, you are the best scientist we have. You are beautiful, eloquent, intelligent, and you take nonsense from no one. You don't have to worry about an insignificant person like Miss Diane Farrah."
"You… think… I'm beautiful?"
"I don't think, I know."
"That's the third sweetest thing you've ever said to me."
"Third?"
"Well, the first was when you said I looked nice in the blue dress. The second was… well, you know, when I had given up hope…"
"I'm… not… very good with… the emotions thing."
"I know, Six. That's why I treasure the moments when you do open up."
"You can also treasure this then…"
…
…
"… Phew, that… that was… wow."
"I agree."
"I haven't kissed many guys before."
"Really? You're a natural."
"I think I could use some practice."
"I think I can help there."
…
…
"…Maybe…maybe we should eat before the food gets cold."
"It's probably too late for that now. I hope you like lukewarm spaghetti and meatballs."
"I don't mind. I kind of liked the… distraction."
"Me too. I don't suppose you'd like to be distracted a little more?"
"That sounds good to me."
Do you know how hard it is to write a kissing scene with only dialogue? Hope it wasn't too terrible. I think the food's going to be stone cold by the time they actually get to it.
