At Stanley Ipkiss' Apartment
It was ten o'clock in the morning as Stanley was waking up out of bed, as he was getting up he could feel his head banging like a drum, "God what was I drinking last night?"
He said as he lay on his back unable to move, as he was lying there he felt someone's hand on his side, turning over onto his left side he saw Peggy asleep.
Shocked by this Stanley turned over onto the right side of the bed and found Megan who was also asleep, "oh God was happened how did these two get here?" Stanley said to himself as he started to panic.
"Oh God," he said as he started to sweat, "The Mask." He then turned onto his back and slowly slipped out of the bed, as he went underneath the bed covers he could see that both Peggy and Megan were dressed.
"Thank God," he said to himself as he climbed out of the bed and onto the hard wooden floor of his apartment.
As he began to pick himself up he noticed in the corner of the room on top of a chest of draws someone have left him a DVD.
As he grabbed it from the side he looked closely at it and noticed it very neat handwriting someone had written, "To My Boring Self."
"That's odd," Stanley said to himself as he put the DVD in a drawer, "who would write something lik-?"
He then realized that it was The Mask, "oh God what do we do last night?" He said to himself as he put one of his hands against his head, as he was doing this he heard Peggy yawning,
"God what a crazy dream I had last night thank God it's over." He heard her saying.
As she was opening her eyes Stanley felt tempted to scream out her name but he didn't, as her eyes flicked open she was aware that she wasn't in her apartment.
What was worse for her also was she wasn't in her own bed, "what happened why I am in Stanley's apartment?" She said to herself as she got up out of bed.
As she leaded over to her right side she saw Megan who was fast asleep, seeing her Peggy screamed.
As she did this Stanley came rushing over, "Peggy it's OK," he said as he held her tight.
As he held her close he felt her body shaking, "Stanley," she asked him in a calm voice, "why I am in your apartment in your bed with your high school prom date?"
Stanley let go of her and looked into her dark brown eyes, "I don't know Peggy," he said in a puzzled voice, "but I bet you it has something to do with the Mask?"
Peggy looked at him with a smile on her face, "don't you mean the Masks Stanley as there are three of them now remember?"
Stanley then looked at her with a look of horror on his face, "oh God yes I forgot about that thanks Peggy for reminding me."
Peggy faintly smiled at him as she turned her head around to the bed, "what are we going to do about her Stanley?"
Stanley turned his head and looked at Megan as she lay fast asleep, "I don't know Peggy about Megan, I'm hoping that she won't remember wearing the Mask but I could be wrong?"
Peggy smiled again at him as she walked slowly off the bed and made her way to the TV, "you don't mind Stanley if I put the news on?" She said in a soft but firm voice.
Stanley smiled at her, "sure thing Peggy help yourself," she then pressed a button on the TV and almost instantly the news came on.
"This is Laura Willits reporting live from The Great Wall," said a young reporter.
"What's happening here?" Asked Stanley as he listened carefully, as both Peggy and him were watch they didn't notice Megan waking up.
"God where I am what time is it?" She said in a soft voice as she took a yawn, without realizing what he was doing Stanley looked at her.
As he looked at her Megan began to scream out loud, "Stanley what are you doing her and where am I?"
Megan sat up in bed as Stanley slowly came up to her, as he was doing this she slowly closed her eyes thinking it was all just a dream, "are you alright Megan?" he asked her as he sat beside her and put one of his arms around her waist.
Megan began to open both of her eyes and as she did this she saw his face, "where I am Stanley and what happened to me?"
Peggy came forward to her and smiled, "you had an accident at the police station Megan and ended up wearing the Mas-."
Stanley held up one of his hands and cut her off as she was about to finish. Megan looked at her as she was trying to piece together what had happened at the station, "yeah I remember that I was at the station Stanley," she said in a puzzled voice.
Stanley looked at her and gave her a faint smile, "can you remember anything else?" He asked her, she looked at him and gave him a nod.
"Bits and pieces really, what I do remember is being asked to take this Mask that Office Doyle found down to the lab and then."
Peggy stood up and looked at her, "then what Megan you wore it?"
Megan looked at the other woman giving her a puzzled look, "I can't remember sorry about that it's as if that part of my life was a blur."
Stanley looked at her and smiled. "Look it's OK Megan we aren't going to say anything right Peggy?"
Peggy looked at her and smiled and then turned her head towards Stanley, "sure Stanley I'm not going to say anything else but I think that you should?"
Megan looked at her and then turned her head back to Stanley, "what does your friend mean by that Stanley are you keeping something hidden away from me?"
Stanley looked at her and then looked at Peggy, taking a deep breath, "I've got something to tell you Megan and it's a secret that only Peggy knows about; what do you know about that Mask that Doyle found?"
Megan smiled at him, "it's a Norse Viking Mask by the look of it."
Stanley smiled at her as he wrapped his arm around her waist, "for the most part you are right, it is a Norse Mask, a Norse mask that has magical powers that can transform the users into another person."
Megan look at him in shock, "are you saying that I wore that Mask and became someone else, that's just ridiculous Stanley?"
Peggy came up and sat beside her, "it's true what Stanley is telling you Megan because before Officer Doyle had the Mask I was wearing it."
Megan looked at Peggy and gave her a hard look she then turned her head back to Stanley, "I can understand a reporter lying about something like this but you Stanley after what you and I have been though together I expected better from you."
She then sat up from the bed and was ready to leave when Stanley shouted her back, "Megan sweetheart, please you have to believe me what proof do you need?"
Then it hit him, "Megan come back please I've got this," rushing to the chest of drawers he picked up the DVD and placed into one of her hands.
She looked at it carefully, "this is your handwriting isn't it?" She asked in a soft voice.
"Yes it is; why do we put it on and then you will have your answers."
Megan gave him a hard look, "and what if I don't?" she asked in a sharp voice.
"Then you walk out of Stanley's life and be lonely Megan," Peggy said in a soft and firm voice.
Megan nodded at them both as she sat back down on the bed as Stanley inserted the DVD into his player.
As he did this there was a blank screen followed by a loud winning sound as the player began reading the disk, as this was happening Stanley made his way over to were Megan and Peggy were sitting on the bed. Very soon the disk began to load and there on the screen was a man that made Megan jump.
The man on the screen looked like a man with the exception of one thing it had a large light green colored head.
"Oh God," Megan said in shock, "what is that Stanley?"
Stanley turned towards her and Peggy and lowered his head, "that's the Mask Megan."
As he said this The Mask started talking, "Hello Ipkiss, Hello Peggy and Megan I hope that you all are OK?"
Megan reached out and held Stanley's hand and started squeezed it tight as the Mask spoke, for some reason when he spoke he reminded her of Stanley.
Let's See What The Masks left for themselves.
