ONLY IN THE MOVIES
A/N: A huge sorry to all the readers about the time it took to update this story. I, um, kind of got stuck and as time went by I 'forgot' about it. But rest assured I have finished it and will post all of it. Thanks to all those who told me to get off my but and finish it (not in as many words, but you get my drift.) I appreciate the fact you guys were actually interested in seeing how this ended, and I really hope you aren't disappointed. So on with the story.
"I'm innocent! Let me go, or you'll spend eternity in the fiery pits of hell!"
Kate watched as Lindy was dragged away by the FBI. She turned her attention back to Eugene.
"So, the FBI, that's pretty impressive," Kate said.
"Same to you," Eugene smiled, "Secret Service and NCIS, nice."
"How-?" Kate was cut off.
"Your file," Eugene answered, "sorry for spying."
"Hey, look," Tony interrupted.
They turned to see Mindy being dragged into the back of a van.
"Somehow, I always expected one of the 'Indy's' to crack," Kate said, shaking her head. "But not at something like this."
Eugene laughed and glanced at his watch.
"Sorry to cut this short, but I have to go," Eugene apologized, "you know, other reunions to crash, that sort of thing."
"Great to see you again," Kate said, giving Eugene a friendly hug.
Tony draped his arm over Kate's shoulder.
"So, let's go through tonight's events," Tony said, thinking aloud, "We had an insane woman – "
"A drug bust, of sorts," Kate interrupted.
"And a 'coming out'," Tony finished. "This sort of reminds me of a bad soap opera."
"But none the less an intriguing one," Kate said, laughing.
"Well, that certainly put a damper on tonight's festivities."
Tony and Kate turned around. It was Cindy.
"Honestly, how do they expect us to 'party on' after all this?" Cindy gestured to the FBI vans and the doctors from the Mental Hospital.
"What do you want Cindy?" Kate asked.
"Look, I know I was a bitch in high school, but I'm not that person anymore – "
Kate gave Cindy a pointed stare.
"Okay, okay, I'm still a bitch." Cindy sighed. "But I don't really care. At least I'm not crazy or a drug dealer."
"I'll give you that," Kate said.
"What I'm trying to say is…I'm sorry." Cindy said, a disgusted expression on her face. "There, I said it. Trust me when I say that I don't say the 's' word often."
"Somehow, I'm not surprised," Kate muttered.
"Whatever," Cindy said, "Anyway, I have a proposition for you."
"Go on." Kate answered, warily.
"Well, I've got this friend who's a studio executive," Cindy said, "he works for Warner Bros. or New Line, something like that. So he's looking for a comedy for the summer and I'd like to use yours and my experiences from high school, including tonight's events."
"What, a movie based around us and the reunion?" Kate asked, shocked.
"Yeah," Cindy answered, "It'd probably be more about you. Apparently audiences go for movies about the underdog/loser who ends up victorious."
" 'Caitlin Todd's High School Reunion'? Tony snorted. "Who'd want to see a movie based on that?"
Kate elbowed Tony and glared at him. She turned her attention towards Cindy.
"Tony's right," She said, "it doesn't sound very interesting, that's all."
"Kate, be realistic," Cindy pleaded, "have you seen the number of crime shows on TV? Everyone's trying to jump onto that bandwagon. Think about it, with 'Law and Order' and 'CSI' being such huge hits, it's only a matter of time before they make a show about your little organization."
Tony and Kate turned to look at each other.
"NCIS, no way!" They said in unison.
"This movie would be bigger than a crime show!" Cindy exclaimed, "It has everything – drug busts, insane shooters, gay issues, romance…" Kate cut Cindy off.
"Fine."
"Hot cheerleaders, FBI heroes – wait a minute!" Cindy paused. "Did you say 'fine'?"
"Yes, I did," Kate answered, "Look, Cindy, I don't really care what you do. Just keep the characters anonymous, I don't want anything to do with it."
"Not even a cut of the profit?" Cindy gasped.
"Kate, think about what you're saying here, please," Tony pleaded.
"Nope," Kate said, "I don't want anything to do with this movie when it flops, and with an unbelievable story line like this one, it's bound to. Honestly, who'd believe something like that?"
Cindy, Tony and Kate all looked around nervously.
"Ah, gotta love the magic of Hollywood," Cindy said, staring off into space. "Well, Kate, it that's how you feel, fine. I'll see you at the premier."
Cindy walked off.
"Kate, are you crazy?" Tony cried, grabbing her by the shoulders, "you could've make millions of this film!"
"At the expense of 'selling out'?" Kate said indignantly.
"You're not a rock star, you're on a government payroll, for crying out loud!" Tony said, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Maybe I just don't want all the money and fame," Kate sighed, "I just want to live my life and do my job."
"You see, Kate, that's what I love about you," Tony grinned, "most people would've sold their soul for an opportunity like that, but you'd give it all away, just to keep your dignity. I really admire that."
Kate blushed.
"Well, the real reason is I don't want people to know I was a loser in high school, but I like your reason better." Kate laughed.
Kate looked up at Tony, who was smiling down at her.
"I'm really sorry about tonight," Kate said, "if I had known that my senior class was crazy, I wouldn't have asked you to come."
"I don't for a second, blame you, Kate," Tony replied, "I mean, you can't predict when a person will snap."
Kate gave a small laugh.
Tony looked her in the yes and brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Don't," Kate whispered.
"Don't what?" Tony asked.
"Don't give me a reason to like you," Kate said softly.
"Would that be such a bad thing?" Tony replied, leaning closer.
"I'm not sure," Kate whispered, moving closer to Tony.
Kate gazed into Tony's eyes as he lent down and kissed her.
Tony broke away, looking down at Kate nervously. Kate squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"Hey, did I ever tell you about this movie where these two women go to their high school reunion? It's a little like tonight, they were losers in high school, but instead of drug busts, they made up this story that they invented post-its –"
"Tony, shut-up!" Kate interrupted.
"Come on, it's a really good mov-"
Kate pulled him into a heated kiss. After what seemed like eternity, they broke apart.
"Wow," Tony said, catching his breath.
"Had to get you to shut up somehow," Kate laughed.
"It worked."
A/N: Hope you weren't too disappointed with how that ended. Enjoy the next chapter.
