A/N: Here's the first scene of 'episode 2'.


(Magenta's bedroom. Columbia is pinning posters to a wall. They're all for different bands - some fictional, like the 'Juicy Fruits' or 'Wyld Stallyns', and others real. Numerous posters relate to David Bowie.)

(Enter Magenta)

Magenta: what's going on here?

Columbia: I'm just decorating a bit.

Magenta: this is my bedroom. Therefore, you must ask me before 'decorating'.

Columbia: I'm sorry - I just got carried away. I was awfully excited, after going to the music store with Frank earlier.

Magenta: Is that where you were?

Columbia: Yeah.

Magenta: Who are these people, on the posters? I don't think I've heard of any of them.

Columbia: Not even David Bowie?

(Magenta looks closely at the poster of him. She frowns.)

Magenta: I've heard of him. Most of my people have. Is he really a rock star now? I might be a bit behind the times.

Columbia: What?

Magenta: Nothing. It's just that he's not exactly from Earth.

Columbia: David Bowie's an alien?

Magenta: An experiment. We sent a random child to Earth and left him to be raised by Earthlings. I find the whole thing a bit immoral. It's really not your business.

Columbia: I'm surprised you're telling me.

Magenta: I'm getting used to you, silly girl. It's only been a few Earth-weeks since you ended up my roommate… how dreadful. If I say anything about my home, or something relating to it, do pretend you hadn't heard me.

Columbia: I will. Anyway… have you heard any of Bowie's songs? Or have you just heard of him?

Magenta: As I said, I didn't realize he'd become a rock star. What do you think?

Columbia: That you haven't heard his songs. Sorry, Magenta… do you want me to play some of his music? It's really gear.

Magenta: 'Gear'?

Columbia: 'Cool'. 'Awesome'. I picked it up from Ringo, as seen in the movies.

Magenta: What in Jove's name is 'Ringo'?

Columbia: a starr, kinda like Bowie. I'll tell you about him later. Now we've got to listen to Space Oddity - Bowie's first real hit.

Magenta: We've "got to"?

Columbia: You'll like it, I swear.

Magenta: I never approved of the experiment, you know… it seems cruel.

Columbia: this is about the music, not the man himself.

Magenta: Fine. Play the songs.

(Columbia turns on a cassette/CD/something player and the intro to Space Oddity plays.)

(Cut to a few hours later, after a lot more music has been played)

Columbia: told you he was great.

Magenta: And I never agreed.

Columbia: You totally loved it, though.

Magenta: Fine. The music was good. I still cannot bear to think about the experiment centered 'round him.

Columbia: Then don't think about that. (Pause) So are you a fan, now?

Magenta: perhaps.

Columbia: should I show you some more music now?

Magenta: I've got to go make lunch. Goodbye, foolish girl.

(She leaves)

Columbia: (aside) I think she means it in a nice way. If I were so foolish why would she still hang out with me?
