Forte, your poem actually made my day. This chapter is for you.


"Hello, and welcome to Take Me Out: Reunion! In this special episode, we are reunited with some of the couples that yours truly has helped set up. Now, if you don't think the couple worked out after the clips we've shown, turn your lights off. That clear? Good. Now, let's start with Sherlock and John."

John and Sherlock waited backstage. John was nervous. Sherlock couldn't fathom why.

The audience were shown Sherlock and John meeting on the show, with John trying to impress Sherlock with his own tricks. Then it changed and showed them on their date.

For the first time, John got to see how terrified Sherlock was on the water ski. Sherlock pretended that he was just putting it on for the cameras. They both knew he wasn't.

"Yes, I think I definitely will see him again. He's interesting and kind of eccentric and he's just kind of… I don't know. But yes, I would like to see him again."

Sherlock smiled widely at the on-screen John's words. He reminded John of a shark. He decided not to point that out.

"I don't like people, but I like John. I think I might see him again."

John looked up at Sherlock and interlaced their fingers with a grin on his face.

The screen then stopped showing them, and went back to the host.

"So, now, if you think they stayed together, you leave your light on. If you think they crashed and burned, you turn your light off. Ready? Go!"

Several lights turned off, the majority, however, remaining on.

"Not bad, not bad. Now, let's welcome John back onto the show!"

John walked down onto the stage, waving at the audience.

"Woah, John, last time we saw you, you had a pretty nasty limp. What happened? Were you just playing the sympathy card?"

"No! No. It was psychosomatic, it's gone now. God, I'd never pretend to… No." John protested. Paddy didn't seem to believe him.

"Of course John. Now, most of the people here think you and Sherlock made it big time. Can you unveil what really happened? From the beginning, please?"

"Well… Okay, so just after that date on Fernando, I walk back to my hotel room, and I unlock the door and he's there, spouting some utter rubbish about how there was a mix-up and we have to share a room, and then the lease on my flat happened to expire and so I had to move in with him temporarily, but he wouldn't let anyone meet me for like two weeks, but then I met his brother, and he met my sister, and we both decided we'd be better off with the other sibling."

"Oh my god… Really?"

"Na, I'm just playing with you. We're doing very well."

Paddy turned to the camera and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Woo, I was rooting for you guys. Let's bring Sherlock on the show now!"

And what happened next was one of those classic TV gold moments that would make the news.


Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wait, this doesn't look like art exam work...

Well shit.

See you next time I'm trying to avoid passing my GCSEs.

Thank you all for reviewing etc.
