*Now it's morning. The sun shining through his bedroom window was hurting
the lids of Tommy's eyes*
Tommy:*opens his eyes slowly, and lets them focus. He yawns and stretches his arms but his hand lands on something...fleshy* D'ah!
Roxie: Good morning, sweetie*kisses his forehead*
Tommy: *calms down* G'morning.*smiles weakly*
Roxie: Sorry to barge in on you like this, but I have to tell you something...
Tommy: What is it? What happened?
Roxie: Well.. Merton's uh..uh..
Tommy: Gothic? Weird? An obsessive Buffy fan?
Roxie: No..he's g-
Tommy:*gasp* He's gay?? I always knew he was a little off..
Roxie: Tommy! You know that's not true...
Tommy: Yea..I know..*frowns*
Roxie: Merton's gone!
Tommy: What? Well.. we gotta find him then!
Roxie: I have a hunch it has to do with that mirror...
Tommy: Then let's go! *quickly pulls back the covers and jumps out of bed*
Roxie: Uh Tommy?
Tommy: Oh..*blushes and stares down at his undershirt and boxers* Maybe I should get changed first...
Roxie: Okay.. I'll wait *stares expectantly at him*
Tommy: Umm would you mind maybe leaving for a few minutes?
Roxie: When I say I'll wait *slyly smiles* I'll wait..
Tommy: Then you can wait outside *picks her up and places her outside his door, then closes it*
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lori: *rubs the sleep out of her eyes* Good morning, Goldie.
*Goldie swims around her bowl in recognition*
*The bedside phone rings*
Lori:*picks up the phone* Hello?
Tommy: Hi is Lori there?
Lori: Hey Tommy, what's up?
Tommy: Umm.. if you're standing up, you should sit down..
Lori: Why? What happened?
Tommy: Merton's kinda..missing..
Lori: He's missing? Where'd he go?
Tommy: I don't know.. but Roxie thinks it's the mirror..
Lori:*sighs* Oh great..Well, I'll meet you at the Lair in twenty minutes, okay? I gotta sneak out my window.. I'm kinda grounded and on house arrest..
Tommy: How'd that happen?
Lori: Well I was previously grounded, then I snuck out, came back after 12:00, and was seen in a strange car with a "weird kid"...
Tommy: Oh.. so Merton got you on house arrest?
Lori: Pretty much..why they think I listen to them is beyond me...
Tommy: Okay..well, I'll see you there then. Bye.
Lori: Bye.*click*

*Meanwhile...*
Merton:*begins to wake up from unconsciousness* Oh man.. my head hurts...
Muse: The man awakes...*walks over to Merton*
Muse 2: Is he okay?
Muse 3: Is he alright?
Muse 4: I think so..
Muse 5: I hope so...
*all of the five muses gather in a circle around Merton, who's rubbing his eyes as he lies on the ground*
Merton: Where am I?
Muse: You're in Ethrel, honey.
Merton: Who are you?
Muse: Well I'm Alayna..
Muse 2: I'm Faith.
Muse 3: I'm Serene.
Muse 4: I'm Verite
Muse 5: I'm Martica and you are?
Serene: He is cute..
Faith: Serene!
Merton: I'm Merton..
Alayna: Hello, Merton, it is a pleasure meeting you.
Verite: Yes... it is.. are you feeling well?
Merton: I think I'm okay.. my head hurts a lot though..
Serene: You poor thing *sits him up and starts rubbing his neck and shoulders* You do not mind if I rub your shoulders, do you?
Merton:*gets a goofy smile* No..no not at all...
Martica: We are sorry that you had to get stuck here with us, but there is nothing we can do until Roxanne returns..
Merton: *very disappointed* This is just perfect..
Alayna: Yes.. we know.. but there really is nothing we can do...
Merton: No.. it's not that.. it's the fact that I'm stuck here with five beautiful half naked women and now I'm taken!
Tommy:*opens his eyes slowly, and lets them focus. He yawns and stretches his arms but his hand lands on something...fleshy* D'ah!
