*After a burst of blinding light and a large gust of wind, Merton is
finally able to see what's happening*
Merton: *tries to get up* What the h-
Serene: Do not get up, Merton, let me finish your masage. *pushes his head back into her lap and continues to masage his temples*
Martica: It is Roxanne, and she has brought us help!
*Roxie gracefully lands on her feet and walks over to the other muses, while Tommy and Lori stumble onto the glassy surface, tripping and bumbing into each other*
Lori: Merton! Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?
Serene: He is fine, he just needs to relax *runs her fingers through his hair*
Merton:*giggles*
Lori:*scowls then walks over and kneels next to Merton*
Faith: I see that you've brought us assistance?
Alayna: One very handsome assistance, if I may say.
Roxie:*walks over to Tommy and holds his hand* One that does not belong to you...
Alayna: I beg to differ..
Tommy: What are you talking about?
Verite: *interrupts the pre-cat fight* Never you mind, good sir.
Martica: Will you introduce us, Roxanne?
Roxie: Sure. Tommy, meet Martica, Alayna, Verite, and Faith.
Tommy: Nice to meet you all *flashes million dollar smile*
Roxie: Oh, and Lori and Serene are both over there- Serene, no!
Serene:*about blow a pile of glittery sand at Lori* What?
*Roxie, Tommy, Verite, Faith, Martica, and Alayna, who's lingering behind to watch Tommy walk, go over to Serene and Lori, which are both standing adjacent to each other, with Merton standing off the Lori's left*
Faith: What are you thinking, using the stunning dust on a human? And such a large amount!
Verite: You could have killed her...
Serene:*mumbles while twirling a strand of her straight red hair* That was the point..
Lori: No one flirts with my guy and tries to steal him from me! Let's rumble. *puts up her fist and gets into her fighting stance* Bring it, on, Red.
Tommy: Lori, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Merton: Yeah.. obviously she's going to use some sort of powers on you..
Lori: Can it, Merton!
Serene: Even he knows that you are being a foolish mortal..
Lori: That's it, now I've REALLY had it *kicks her leg out and hits Serene's hand, sending glittery powder everywhere*
Roxie: Run, before it lands! *tries to push everyone away, but gets tripped along the way and thuds on the floor*
*in slow motion, the dust falls to the ground on Serene, Lori, Alayna, Verite, Martica, and Faith, who were all standing in shock, are now laying in a messy pile on the floor*
Tommy: *calls across, the long, empty, glassy room*Dude, what happened?
Merton: I dunno, the last thing I saw was you running, Roxie tripping, then I was just crouched in this corner... I don't work well with magic confrontations, so I just sort of..flew over here.
Tommy: Merton, you know you can't fly..
Merton: I know I can't fly, but it felt like it.
Tommy: Yeah.. *rolls eyes* sure Merton..
Merton: It's true!
Tommy: So now what are we gonna do? Everyone except us and Roxie got knocked out.
Merton: Umm.. I think it's just you and me Tommy. Roxie had a nasty fall and probably hit her head really hard.
Tommy: What makes you say that?
Merton: The fact that she's lying unconcious on the floor over there.
Tommy: *worriedly glances at Roxie on the floor* Oh I hope she's okay..
Merton: Aww *cutesy wootsey voice* Scawed fow you wittle pookie wookie?
Tommy: *glares at Merton and his eyes flash yellow* I wouldn't talk, "Merty Werty"
Merton: Point taken.
Tommy: So let's find this guy and kick his a-
Merton: *whimpers as eyes widen in surprise* T-t-t -*continues to studder, unable to get out the complete name*
Tommy: What is it? Merton, are you okay?
Merton: T-t-t-tommy..b-b-b-big..aa-a-angry m-m-m-man b-b-b-behind y-y-y- ou...
Tommy: Huh? *turns around to see a large wall of a person, his nose only reaching the person's lower abdomen* Oh I gotcha...
Tall man: *has a very deep voice* What a nice surprise.. I have company..
Merton: *laughs nervously* Heheh... not so much company, just curious outsiders that'll be leaving now...*turns and starts to walk away*
Tall man: But we haven't had the proper introduction *stretches out arm, and pulls it back in, magically pulling Merton standing right next to Tommy* I'm Mirone, connoisseur of the dark arts, meddler of magic, etc.
Tommy: So, you like magic huh? *sarcastically* Do you pull bunnies out of hats?
Mirone: Not quite...I perform more jubilant tricks, like torturing innocent muses who ruined my entire life..
Merton: So.. if you just torture muses, why not let us go?
Tommy: Merton!
Merton: What? I'm trying to save my, I mean our butts!
Tommy: I'm not leaving without Roxie!
Mirone: Ah.. the mortal and the muse, what a touching love story..
Tommy: Shut up..
Mirone: Beg pardon? Did you just disrespectfully answer my question?
Tommy: Yes I did...
Mirone: I guess I'll just have to return your polite gesture then. *lifts arm out over to the pile of muses and Lori, and-with his evil powers- causes Roxie to levitate into standing position*
Tommy: Hey.. put her down!
Mirone: Oh, that isn't the painful part...this is *a blue glow surrounds the floating Roxie, and she starts to convulse and writhe*
Tommy: Stop it! You're hurting her!
Mirone: And who's going to stop me? Some punk and his nearly dead friend?
Merton: I resent that...technically Tommy's a jock/werewolf, not a punk, and I'm a goth, not nearly dead.
Tommy: Shut up, Merton *wolfs out*
Merton: Man.. I'm ever so thankful for my loving friends that listen to me all the time
Mirone: Is it because he's trapped in a mirror, or is he always this annoying?
Tommy: No.. this is the normal Merton, and you wonder why I'm so agitated..
Mirone: Anyway.. back to the my point.. give me the spell!
Merton: What spell? The one to vanquish you?
Tommy: Merton, he didn't know that!
Merton: Oopsies..
Mirone: It's no matter, no spell can get rid of me, now give me the one on the back of the mirror!
Tommy: Never! Not until you put Roxie down.
Mirone: Fine *stops the magic and Roxie clunks to the floor* Now give me the spell!
Tommy: No!*takes a punch at Mirone, but his fist freezes in mid punch* What the heck?
Merton: He's using his evil powers to stop you!
Tommy: Well help me!
Merton: D'I don't know how to! *flings his arms out, and then Tommy and Mirone both go flying across the room*
Tommy: Whoa Merton! *punches Mirone in the face*What was that?
Merton: I dunno.. that was pretty weird.
Tommy:*while fighting with Mirone* Merton, get help! Try and wake Lori up or something!
Lori:*appears out of no where* Whoa. That was too creepy
Merton: Lori?!? How'd you get here when your body's over there?!?
Merton: *tries to get up* What the h-
Serene: Do not get up, Merton, let me finish your masage. *pushes his head back into her lap and continues to masage his temples*
