Merton: Well...I guess that's it...
Tommy:*sighs* Yup..they're gone..
*eerie silence*
Lori:*starts squirming under Merton's arm, until she takes it off of her shoulder and gives him a dirty look* What do you think you're doing, huh?
Merton: *gets surprised by her outburst* Say wha?
Lori: I said, what do you think you're doing? How can you just put your arm around me like that like I'm your girlfriend or something?
Merton: But-but..I-I thought...
Lori: Whatever you thought, I don't wanna hear it Merton. I know you've been vulnerable since Kyuki but-
Merton: But what? And hey, I'm not vulnerable!
Lori:*continues her sentence like he didn't even interject* -you have to remember that there is someone out there for you, you just haven't found her yet. Understand?
Merton:*sighs and tries to humor her* Yes, Lori.
Lori: Okay..good. I think I should go though, I'm feeling kinda drained.
Merton: Okay..talk to you tomorrow.
Lori: *goes over to Tommy and gives him a hug* Don't worry, there's other fish in the sea...
Tommy:*nods awkwardly*
Lori: Alright, I'm gonna go..bye.
Tommy: See you Lori.
Merton: Bye
*Lori leaves through the Lair door*
Merton:*waits until he no longer hears Lori on the steps* What was that all about?
Tommy: I dunno..I didn't know what happened while she was screaming at you, I was trying too hard not to laugh.
Merton: Darn that magic! It always finds a way to foul up my life.
Tommy: Maybe Roxie was just doing it because she felt bad because you felt alone..that's why she made Lori reach out to you with the gothic thing..
Merton: *sighs* And I thought I had a chance...I wish people wouldn't pitty me so much, then I may actually have a normal chance at a girl.
Tommy: I think she was just trying to help, hoping that after she leaves that Lori would've ended up really liking you, just like her magic tried to do.
Merton: *gets a note of grouchiness in his voice*Yeah..well, it didn't.
Tommy: Geez, you don't have to be so offended.
Merton: You're right...I'm sorry, it's just that this whole new power thing and Lori not liking me is getting me a little bit stressed.
Tommy: She likes you..but she doesn't "like" you, like you.
Merton: That's the story of my life...
Tommy: Come on man, it's not that bad...I mean, look at me.
Merton:*gives him a questioning look* You? He who just was ditched by a magical phenomenom?
Tommy: Okay..bad example...but you can't be upset about it forever. Even if there's no one for you in Pleasantville,*a car drives by and the horn honking mysteriously bleeps out the state*, there's always New York City..there are a lot of girls there..
Merton: Including of which either have a criminal record, are a prostitute, or wasn't a woman before..
Tommy: There are some normal people like you..okay..some non-normal people like you out there somewhere..
Merton: I know..I know..It's just I want a girl now!
Tommy:*picks up a pillow and throws it at Merton* Cool it, Romeo.
Merton:*catches the pillow* If I'm such a Romeo, where's my Juliet? *whimpers and frowns*
Tommy: I dunno man,. but maybe Lori'll come around-
Merton:*gets flushed in the face* Tommy..please don't mention Lori...she isn't anyone I want to talk about right now..
Tommy: *wants to get him annoyed* Did you know that Lori-
Merton: Tommy..
Tommy: -may be getting a car and Lori might be-
Merton: Tommy, I'd-*curls fingers around the pillow*
Tommy:*getting annoyed of Merton interrupting his taunting game* Lori! Lori! Lori! Lori! Lori! *takes a deep breath* Lori!
Merton: Tommy! *pillows blows up in his hands and feathers go everywhere*
Tommy:*looks at Merton with a blank expression, starts snickering, then starts laughing*
Merton:*still has an angry look on his face..but it fades away as laughter breaks through and feathers stream down on him and Tommy*
*Merton and Tommy continue to laugh crazily, feathers all over them like a fluffy snowstorm, their voices being heard but unclear of what they're saying, as the scene fades to black*
THE END! How'd you like it? I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it...Questions? Comments? Criticisms? Complaints? Just review it with whatever you'd like to say..I'm going to miss writing my first fic, but this means I get to start the next one!
