~*~Chapter Six- All work and no play makes Alan a dull boy~*~
Meanwhile, Erica was sitting with her ear pressed against the door that connected her and Alan's rooms. She had been listening to the steady click of a computer keyboard for over an hour. She wondered what Alan could possibly be typing at one in the morning. She looked around the room, then finally stood up and pushed the door open.
"Alan?" She asked softly. "Are you still awake?"
"Yes." He answered, still typing.
"What are you doing?"
"Writing."
"Writing what?"
"The script for a new movie I had in mind."
"Oh, I see," Erica stepped into the room. "May I come in?"
"Yes."
"What's the movie called?"
"I don't know."
"What's it about?"
"I'm not sure."
Erica sat down on the edge of the bed. "So you don't know anything about it?"
"I know who's going to be in it."
"Well that's a start. Who?"
"Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lopez."
"That's. a good choice," Erica said nervously. "So, you live in England?"
"Yes."
"Do you like England?"
"Yes."
"That's nice," Erica drummbed her fingers on the top of the bed beside her.
Alan stopped typing and leaned back in his chair. He murmered something Erica couldn't hear.
"Sorry, what'd you say?" Erica asked, leaning closer to him. "I didn't hear."
"All work and no play makes Alan a dull boy," He repeated, standing up.
"That's nice, too, I guess."
"All work and no play makes Alan a dull boy."
Erica was starting to get nervous. "I'm going to go back to my room."
"All work and no play makes Alan a dull boy."
"Alright, goodnight then," Erica started towards the door into the hallway. She opened it and shut it softly, then knocked on Julie's door. "Julie, you awake?"
"Yeah, it's open," Julie called.
Erica pushed the door open and locked it behind her. "Julie, Alan's scaring me."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Julie had the light on, and was sitting on the bed, reading a magazine. There was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" She called.
"Alan."
"Oh, no." Erica groaned.
"Come in, it's unlocked," Julie replied loud enough for him to hear. The knob slowly turned.
"No, Julie!" Erica cried. "He's. insane."
Alan appeared in the doorway. "All work and no play makes Alan a dull boy."
"Huh?" Julie raised her eyes to him.
"All work and no play makes Alan a dull boy."
"Oh, from the Shining!" Julie smiled. "Good movie."
"All work and no play makes Alan a dull boy." He pulled something out from behind his back, and Erica screamed.
