Michelle wipes the tears away from her eyes and looks at Josh with renewed love in her heart. Then she tears her eyes away and mumbles, more to the ground than Josh, "We have to go find them." Josh nods in solemn agreement. But then, unable to ward off a smile, he notes, "You may have to change first so you don't trip in those shoes." Michelle smiles, tremblingly after so much crying, and nods, heading off the change into jeans and a T-shirt (a cute T-shirt, of course, and even in her pain and misery and the current crisis she looks cute and sexy). Josh does likewise, and of course he always looks adorable no matter what. They meet up and decide that Josh will go after Jen, and Michelle will go after Orlando.
Josh heads off to find Jen, running through his options in his mind. Tobey Maguire, Tobey Maguire... where would he be? Probably stuck to a wall somewhere, he thinks dryly, remembering his latest role in Spiderman. At any rate, he sprints off to Hollywood (something he can manage quite well, despite the fact that he rarely ever goes to the gym, now that he is no longer in a stiff, uncomfortable tux). After only two hours of searching, he locates Tobey and most politely asks him to hand over Jen. Tobey sneers and refuses. He doesn't look so cute with that nasty look on his face.
"Why not?" Josh wonders aloud, figuring, better see if he'll talk and maybe I can find something out.
"Because," Tobey answers with that sneer, "Jennifer and Orlando can't be together."
"Ah," says Josh, nodding like he understands. "But... why's that?"
"Because," Tobey smirks, "my pal Rachel wants Orlando. And Jen doesn't deserve him, and Rachel does. And I want Rachel to be happy, so-" he sighs dramatically- "you'll understand, of course, why I have to-" He doesn't finish the sentence, but, rather, aims a punch at Josh's handsome face...
Meanwhile, Michelle faces the same predicament as Josh: She has managed to locate Rachel Leigh Cook but not Orli. Rachel explains the matter quite like Tobey does, and with an identical sneer on her face. Strange, Michelle thinks. I didn't know these two idiots were working together, ever. Thinking fast, she aims a punch at Rachel. Caught off guard, Rachel forgets to defend herself and falls down, sniveling in pain, rage still evident on her face. She curses and swears avidly, but apparently is unable to get up.
Michelle stands over the fallen girl and asks calmly, as though inquiring after the weather, "And how did kidnapping Jen fit into all this? Oh wait, don't tell me, does Tobey like her?"
Rachel snorts. "Of course not! That was only to get her out of the way!"
Michelle fixes her with a glare. "Are you suggesting that there is something wrong with Jen?"
Rachel smiles, evilly. "Are you suggesting that there is not?"
Michelle offers Rachel a cold stare. "Orlando Bloom certainly doesn't think there is anything wrong with her. But I'll bet he could find plenty of fault with you."
Rachel winces slightly, trying to not let Michelle see, but she fails miserably. Michelle smiles to herself, knowing she has hit a weak spot. Pressing her advantage, she continues, "You know, Rachel, you can't make Orli marry you or even like you. So tell me, what was all this supposed to accomplish?"
Rachel's smirk is back in place. "In time, I could make him forget Jennifer. He could learn to love me, and I could offer him so much more than Jennifer could. So, with Jennifer out of the way, and only me knowing where Orlando is, I don't see how anyone could stop me."
Michelle, almost sputtering with rage, makes a move to hit Rachel again, but Rachel raises a hand in warning. "You make me mad, Michelle, and you'll never find your precious Orlando." It is the first time Rachel has actually said Michelle's name, and since they weren't really properly introduced, this surprises Michelle. Is she better known in Hollywood than she thinks? All the tabloids and papers have been raging about the two celebrities getting married... Michelle brushes off the surprise and glares at Rachel, racking her brain for more options. Is there anything she can do? Clearly, Rachel has no intention of betraying Orli's whereabouts to Michelle. Is there any other way she can find him? How? And is Josh all right? How's he doing? What will happen to Michelle if she annoys Rachel too badly? Does she have bodyguards or anything? Doesn't it stand to reason that wherever Rachel is, Orli is likely to be nearby? Where could Jen be? Are they all right? Clearly, Rachel has no intention of hurting Orli, but will Jen be all right? Will she and Orli have a 'happily every after'? A thousand questions run through Michelle's brain as she stares at Rachel, still lying on the ground in pain, but not any answers. Because, you see, the answers can only be found in good time...
