Mutant X
"Letters from London" DVD Extras
Author Commentary
Okay, so you've entered the DVD Extras of "Letters from London," which is the second in The Sierra Series.ok so I shall start explaining some things about this story.first of all the title."Letters from London".well it fits if you've read it.Adam DOES receive letters FROM London.hehehe and Jesse's the Post Office Gopher.but thru the United States Postal Service isn't the ONLY way Adam receives info from his sister.he also receives e-mail.which of course is a more current and pretty popular way of communication now a days.And of course the letters, packages, and e-mails all came from Adam's sister who I decided to name Evelyn or Eve which I thought was good.I made an excuse about how Adam's parents were religious and stuff.but I just thought it was cute.and on to the part where I talk about my favorite parts or why certain parts are in the story!!!
"I was going to pick up a package, but let me look at you first," Adam told her.
"I'll pick it up Adam," Jesse volunteered. "Where and what?"
"Here," Adam handed Jesse the key to his PO Box and then wrote down the address and the box number. "There should be a package."
"Okay," Jesse said and left.
Okay, so here's the part where Jesse first becomes Adam's PO Box Gopher.I thought Jesse would be a good choice since he and Shalimar are the closest to Adam and the first to help him, and since Shalimar is sort of off in grieving world Jesse's the one left.
Chapter 3 is titled "Opening Adam's Mail" which I thought fit VERY well and it sort of sounded sneaky and childish...and since they opened Adam's mail in a VERY sneaky way I thought it worked VERY nicely...
Emma turned the envelope over in her hands wishing she knew what it said, "I don't know." Emma kept examining it knowing it held the key to what she had seen. "Hey, Jess, you couldn't phase the envelope, could you?"
"Probably, why?"
"He's been keeping stuff from us, why don't we see what it is?"
"Emma..."
"What if it's important? What if we SHOULD know?"
Come on! You know that you'd open Adam's mail that way if you could.anyways! I figured that it was something that well okay so maybe the producers and story writers wouldn't have thought of, but you know one of the fans and/or writers would if we had to solve a problem like that!
Yesterday, I let her visit this high class preschool and somehow one of the boys knocked over a candle they had lit, it spread around her and, Sierra hid in the corner frozen in fear. When I got there she was still frozen in place and the little boy that knocked over the candle said that her eyes glowed. I've been trying to raise her in a proper and intellectual environment, so the feral side of her hasn't come out before. She was scared, and I think her abilities are starting to shift.
Oh, this is an except from when Emma and Jesse are reading Adam's letter from Evelyn.I put this in there for two reasons.#1 I wanted to address the fact that Sierra WAS feral and that she did know.#2 because it let Jesse and Emma know about Sierra and about her life in London.and I liked it!
November 11, 2002, which is the date on a word list that Sierra writes about what words that might connect with her past and parents, and the date well if you read any of my other stories especially in the Stargate SG-1 section you'll see it reoccur or the number 11, its because 11 is my lucky number and November 11th is my birthday, so it's a date and number I use a lot.
Madison Caden makes a special guest appearance in this story, which I wasn't sure if it'd actually work or not while I was writing, but she did. And since I was neglecting The Caden Series at the time.and well now too I wanted a way to have her somewhere and she just worked well.
It was Sierra's birthday of sorts, it was her equivalent of her fourth year. Sierra was in her room at the window seat staring out at the garden. There was not much of celebration on her birthdays. Grandmother had said that it wasn't something that NEEDED to be celebrated. Sierra had been angry, she had been thinking about her parents and wondering if they would want to celebrate. Her door opened, but she didn't look, she wasn't up to visitors. She heard the person approach her. "So, you're not even going to look at me?" came the voice of Madison Caden.
Oh, okay this scene was in here to in a way to show how Evelyn Carter treated Sierra and what Sierra thought about.also.to show how she felt and well later in this scene how Sierra changes in Madison's presence.
"Nothing, but hurry we're ALL going to have lunch and watch a movie, but...we still have to pull Adam away from his fascinating lab work."
"You want a miracle then?" Jesse asked smiling.
LOL, okay I just thought this part was funny, ya know it's true.Adam is ALWAYS up! Have we EVER seen him asleep? Not that I can recall, and he's ALWAYS in his lab doing something.
"Fine!" Emma gave in. "Jesse and I kissed"
"Kissed? So, is it serious?" Shalimar asked interested.
"Maybe?"
"So, you two kissed...aww...it's so cute!" Shalimar told her very happy.
"And not just once..." Emma added.
"Ohh, so it COULD get serious? Well, what can we expect with all of us locked up together," Shalimar said.
Okay, so here's the entrance of the Emma/Jesse romance! YAY! Okay, so all of you people who hate the Shal/Bren stuff I AM SORRY! Hehe but that's all I write.Shal/Bren & Emma/Jesse romance.and it's ALWAYS drama! Gotta have the drama!
"Why MUST you ALWAYS seal off the lab," Shalimar asked.
"Shalimar, I don't ALWAYS seal off the lab," Adam told her.
"Just MOST of the time," Brennan said.
"Anyways?" Adam asked to change the subject.
"You're being secretive, Adam..." Shalimar pointed out.
"Secretive, Shalimar?"
"Come on, Adam. Why keep any more secrets from us?"
"To protect ALL of you until it is either safe or necessary to tell and explain."
"O...okay," Brennan said. "Anyways, we are rescuing you."
"Rescuing me?" Adam asked confused. "From what?"
"Yourself," Jesse told him.
"The lab," Brennan said.
This is just another scene that I liked and thought was funny.come on! You know perfectly well that Adam needs rescuing from himself AND the lab! I'm always like, it would serve Adam right if the lab blew up and then he'd actually HAVE to sleep and find something else to do to occupy his time!
"Not anymore!" came the cheery voice of six year old Danika Caden as she and her two escorts walked out to meet Mutant X.
Evelyn, Johnathan, Madison, and Sierra walked out from where they were hiding. "You may have lost Gabriel, but he will be back," Evelyn said. "We should leave this place."
Oh! Yes, I decided to put this in because Miss Danika Caden makes a slight guest appearance in "Cody's Angels," and someone ((and you know who you are!)) forgot who she was so I just thought I'd talk about her.Danika Caden is the adopted cousin of Madison Caden and she was brought in to be like Sierra's double.anyways! That is why she is there! : )
"Adam, why couldn't you have told us?" Shalimar asked still crying.
"Shalimar, I told you. I did it to keep us ALL SAFE! That's all I've ever wanted, for ALL OF MY CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN TO BE SAFE!"
"Then why couldn't we have ALL gone to London?"
"Maybe we SHOULD have, but I did what I thought was right at the time. I'm sorry if it was the wrong thing to do. I'll understand if you both hate me and want me far away," Adam stood and then held his head in his hands.
"Adam, I could NEVER hate you," Shalimar told him. "And I would never want you far away."
Hehehe this is one of my Adam/Shalimar -- father/daughter moments! So what if Adam's not REALLY Shalimar's father! He acts like it! ANYWAYS! I liked this because you know how Adam protects Shalimar WAY more than any of the others and the fact that he blames EVERYTHING on himself! And then Shalimar has to tell him that it's not his fault.so that's why it's here.hehehe..
"Come on, I'm not a tree or a pillar or something else you can hide behind!" Madison told Sierra and moved out of the way. "Come on, say hello at least." Sierra took her right hand and she liked like she saluted them. Madison rolled her eyes. "Are you not talking now?" Madison asked and Sierra nodded her head. "What? Do I need to translate now?" and Sierra nodded again. "Well, she SIGNED hello."
hehe, this is well okay it was influenced by the ASL class.but I thought that a child being introduced to people that she never knew but that were her family might be a bit hard and that maybe signing would help the transition a bit.
"What is this? Hide behind Madison day?" Madison asked and Sierra giggled.
"It's okay," Shalimar said and left Sierra's room with the treasure box.
"I'll go check on her," Adam told Brennan.
"Hey Madison," Brennan greeted.
"Hi Brennan," Madison said moving away from Sierra.
"So, how was London?"
"Boring."
"Boring?"
"Evelyn has a dress code: black and white."
"Yeah, that is pretty boring."
Oh look! It's a lovely Madison/Brennan scene hehehe I love this scene, well the ENTIRE scene.I like how Madison is always the one to try to break the ice usually.and how she sort of ignores that Sierra's there to get her to talk.and also how she tells Brennan about Evelyn's dress code.
"Can we start over?" Sierra asked, and Madison nodded. Sierra walked up to Brennan. "Hello, my name is Sierra Isabelle Fox and I'm your daughter."
Brennan pulled Sierra into his arms and kissed her forehead. "I've missed you! I love you, Sierra!"
Sierra hugged her father, "I love you, too!"
"Your mom would love to talk to you," Brennan told her.
"Where is Mum?" Sierra asked looking around.
"Mum?" Brennan asked laughing a bit. "You've been in London too long. Let's go find her."
awww its my Sierra/Brennan -daughter/father moment! Hehehe Sierra tells Brennan that she's his daughter and they say they love one another and then Brennan makes fun of Sierra calling Shalimar "Mum"! hehehehe I love it!
"Mum, I'm sorry for making you sad."
"You didn't make me sad, Sierra."
"Remember I am a feral AND a psionic, a telepath to be exact. I KNOW that you're sad."
So, Shal' and Sierra have a mother/daughter moment! Sierra, well when I was thinking about Sierra I knew that I wanted to make her different.more refined and patient and I don't know just going thru life at a slower pace or something..
"Fine. Then, let's think this through," Emma told Shalimar turning from excited to serious. "Brennan loves you?"
"Yes."
"You love Brennan?"
"Yes."
"You BOTH love Sierra?"
"Yes."
"Brennan asked you to marry him?"
"Yes."
"Then you should marry him! See, there's NO problem!" Emma told her and pulled Shalimar to the door, opened the door, and then pushed Shalimar out of her room. "And I don't want to talk to you or see you until you've told Brennan yes. So, go! Go!"
Okay, so I could just picture this conversation.Shalimar's not sure with herself.she doesn't quite know if she SHOULD marry Brennan.and well she takes a while it seems to make up her mind.I mean!...HELLO?!...Brennan and Shalimar have ALMOST kissed like what now? THREE TIMES?! And if Shalimar and Brennan REALLY decided that they NEEDED to actually KISS and get it over and done with they would have by now! Hehehe okay there ya go! On to the next scene!
"A nanochip, it can help us track you in case something happens and it alerts me if you try to leave Sanctuary. Now, I don't want ANY of you to leave Sanctuary!"
Okay, it bugs me a bit when people are captured and their ring must be taken off or something happens when the ring is off of their finger and they can't be found! So! I decided to solve that annoying problem! ANYWAYS! That's why we have this.
