Sorry, sorry, sorry. I know I haven't updated in a long time. I just got
lazy and with summer vacation and all. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this
chapter. Oh, and just to inform you, in the movie, Roxy (who is played by
Serenity) tends to drift into her own world wherein she imagines people on
the stage performing. To let you know when people are 'on-stage', I'll just
use three ***.

Serenity was still shaking. Her hand was still clutching to the weapon that killed Joey Wheeler. There he was, by the door of her bedroom, dead.
She looked into her mirror and saw someone scared and confused. She saw herself.
'FLASH'
The photographer took the last shot of Joey's dead body before a white sheet was spread over him. Serenity observed the scene, clutching tightly to her robe. Detective Bakura was asking Yugi a heap of questions.
"Please don't let him blow the cover, please don't!" , Serenity kept on repeating this in her head. "Alright, get in!" the detective said, then he shot Serenity a suspicious look, "You too" he finally added.
The married couple walked over to their room, having to walk over the dead body. Serenity's insides gave an uneasy drop when she walked over Joey. Yugi sat on the bed and Bakura flashed a flashlight brightly and directly into Yugi's face. "Alright, from the top." He commanded Yugi.
Yugi answered with an innocent tone. But that's what he was anyway, an innocent and WEAK man. "A man's got a right to protect his helpless loved ones, right?" Yugi started. "Right." The detective answered still showing no signs of understanding.
"Well, I just got home from work today and I see this burglar get in so I try to get him down." Yugi continued. "And your wife?" Bakura asked flashing the bright light at Serenity this time. "She was just lying there, sleeping like an angel."
Yugi's words disappeared because Serenity was drifting of to another place. Bakura flashed his flashlight at her this time. But in her head, it wasn't a flashlight but a Spotlight.

Sometime's I'm right
Sometime's I'm wrong
But he doesn't care
He'll String along
He loves me so
That funny honey of mine
Sometime's I'm down
Sometime's I'm up
But he follows 'round
Like some droopy-eyed pup
He love me so
That sunny honey of mine
He ain't no sheik
That's no great physique
Lord knows, he ain't got the smarts
Oh, but look at that soul
I tell you, the whole
Is a whole lot greater than
The sum of his parts
And if you knew him like me
I know you'd agree
What if the world
Slandered my name?
Why, he'd be right there
Taking the blame
He loves me so
And it all suits me fine
That funny, sunny, honey
Hubby of mine
[Yugi speaking to Bakura]
Well, I came in from the garage, Officer, and I
see him coming through the window. With my
wife Serenity there, sleepin'...like an angel...
[Serenity still singing]
He loves me so
That funny honey of mine
[Yugi still talking)]
I mean supposin', just supposin', he had violated
her or somethin'...you know what I mean...
viloated?
[Bakura]
I know what you mean...
[Yugi]
Think how terrible that would have been.
It's a good thing I came home from work on time, I'm tellin' ya that! I say I'm tellin' ya that!
[Serenity]
He loves me so
That funny honey of mine
[Bakura]
Name of deceased... Joey Wheeler.
[Yugi]
Joey Wheeler? How could he be a burglar?
My wife knows him! He sold us our furniture!
[serenity]
Lord knows he ain't got the smarts
[Yugi]
She lied to me. She told me he was a burglar!
[Bakura]
You mean he was dead when you got home?
[Yugi]
She had him covered with a sheet and she's givin'
me that cock and bull story about this burglar, and
I ought to say that I did it 'cause I was sure to get off.
Burglar, huh!
[Serenity]
Now, he shot off his trap
I can't stand that sap
Look at him go
Rattlin' on me
With just one more brain
What a half-wit he'd be
If they string me up
I'll know who
Brought the twine
[Serenity]
And I believed her!
That cheap little tramp. So, she
Was two-timing me, huh?
Well, then, she can just
Swing for all I care.
Boy, I'm down at the garage,
Working my butt off fourteen
Hours a day and she's up mucnhin'
on god-damn bon bons and jazzing.
This time she pushed me too far.
That little chiseler.
Boy, what I sap I was!
(Serenity)
That scummy, crummy
Dummy hubby of mine!
The spotlight goes off.
