NO ONE'S POINT OF VIEW
The ladies began clearing the table, while Sophia and Edna sat in the living room catching up on the recent events of their lives. "So. Do you think you know who will show up to the funeral?" Edna asked. "Who knows, with what he has been going through lately. Him and Glady's were very close. Whose to say?" Sophia grabbed her purse. "Let me show you your room. You can freshen up there if you want" Edna got up and followed Sophia. Mean while in the kitchen, the girls finished up with the dishes, and getting resettled. "We'll. I am going back to sleep for a couple of hours. We still have time before the funeral." Rose said. " Yes. That sounds like a good idea." Blanche said. Right as the girls were about to turn in for bed the phone rang. Blanche was the closest, so she answered the phone. "Helo." Blanche said. "Good morning. Sorry to call so early, but by chance is there a Sophia Petrillo available?" The man had the most beautiful voice Blanche had ever heard. "Why ye, if you are sure you want to speak with her." She hinted. "Yes. Please." He answered. "May I ask who is calling?" The man chuckled. " Let her know that Erick is calling. Erick Lencher to he exact." Blanche smiled a big smile while her room mates look at her very confused. " Just one moment, Darling. I will fetch her in a moment." Blanche set the phone down, ignoring Dorothy's charades and silent questions. With a half smirk, she walked past Dorothy and went to call Sophia. "Sophia!" She called in a sing-songy way. "Phone for you, darling. It's a Erick Lencher on the phone " Two seconds later, she heard scuffling at the door. " No biting! You old hag!" Edna yelled on the other side. " You stepped on my toes! Now let go!" Sophia shouted, along with an off noise. "Back off!" Blanche knocked again. " Ladies? Are you two okay" There was silence on the other end when Sophia finally emerged. She took a step out the door, adjusting her broken handle on her purse walking out. Edna followed, limping slightly. Sophia reached the phone first, and took a seat. " Hello...yes. This is she...oh! Hello, Erick! We were just talking about you!" Dorothy, Rose, and Blanche just stared at Sophia listening to her every word. Edna sat with a huff next to Sophia, trying to sit closer to hear Erick on the other end. "Will you be attending the funeral tonight?" Sophia asked, pushing Edna away from the receiver. "Oh. That would be lovely. Gladys would be happy to know you showed up." Edna and Sophia began pushing against each other much to Dorothy's shock. Dorothy had never seen her mother in such a childish act. Soon are began snapping her fingers at both women. They stopped, looking up at Dorothy shocked. "Hold on a moment, Erick. I have a pest problem. The exterminator seems to have missed a few. But Edna is here and would like to say hello." She handed the phone reluctantly to Edna, and look at the girls with her arms crossed. " DO YOU MIND!" Sophia said through her teeth. " Mommy is on the phone, Pussycat. Why don't you and your friends go into your room." Dorothy did a double take at her mother in shock, while Rose grabbed Dorothy's right arm and Blanche grabbed her left. All three ran in a hurry like scolded children.
Once Dorothy was in her room, she just looked at Blanche. "What in the hell was that all about?!" She asked. "Now, Dorothy, Blanche probably knows as much as we a seat and calm down." Dorothy began to pace the room. "No. Rose. I will not calm down. Did you see the way those two were acting? They were like two lovesick teenagers. And who is this Erick fellow?! I need answers!." She finally took a seat after her long rant. Blanche went up there her and began rubbing her back " There there, darling. It's ok. It's always a shock to find out your mother is more desirable than you are. My daughters are very evious of me because we look the same age." Dorothy began swatting her hand. "Maybe it's fear not envy, Blanche of looking your age. No. I am sorry to yell like that Rose. I just don't know what is going on with my mother, and it scares me." They all nodded, but kept silent. It was going to be a long day indeed.
Thank you again for reading. Just a quick note to clear any confusion. Erick is of course the great Magneto played by the gorgeous Ian McKellan. It takes place right after Magneto has lost his powers and thought to be nothing more than a feeble mutant. I am always reminded of when he was at the park playing chess, and it made me want to explore what he would do if he was powerless. How would that change him. So while him and Sophia may or my not have had a past (hint*hint) he is still bent on power. Right now, he has looked up Sophia, and later we will find out how they met. I do hope that clears up any confusion. Please be kind and review. Also again I do not own Marvel or the Golden Girls.
