Hi everyone! Wow, I updated already? I'm on a roll, baby! Ok, I think you know the drill...Here we go again!
Chapter 5: A "Perfect" Evening
Dear Monty,
I'm sorry, but I won't be there to meet you at your office this afternoon. I will be quite busy at work. My boss is quite the character, always aware of what to do and what to say. Actually, he reminds me of you.
Sincerely,
Wanda Silverson
Dear Wanda,
That's quite all right, my dear. Work is the most important priority that must be attended to. If I did not work and deceive my way through life, I wouldn't be where I am today!
How about tonight? Meet me at my office and then we'll go gallivanting into the night.
Expect a perfect evening, my dear, because I promise you, everything will be just…excellent.
Sincerely,
Monty Burns
Standing out on the balcony of his office, Mr. Burns gazed at the vastness known as Springfield. The stars glimmered, painting the sky with their majesty. Lights from buildings and homes were splashed here and there. Normally, as he gazed at such a sight, he would be thinking of all the homes he was powering and how much richer he would be because of it. But tonight, things were different. Tonight, the stars seemed to shine a little brighter than usual. Tonight, the beauty of the town gleamed a little lovelier than usual. Tonight, was going to be the perfect evening.
Tonight, love was on his mind.
As Monty continued to stare out into the town, a figure slowly crept up beside him and tapped him on the shoulder. Monty snapped his head in the direction of the tap, his face beaming with the anticipation of excitement. However, he quickly let out a sigh of disappointment, "Oh. It's only you, Smithers," he turned away to continue his watching over the town's landscape, "What are you doing here?"
Smithers inched closer to Mr. Burns, "I only wanted to check up on you, sir. You know, see how you were doing," he soon noticed his boss's dejected disposition, "She hasn't come yet, has she sir?"
Monty rested his hands on the banister and shut his eyes, "I'm beginning to think that I'll never see her. Maybe she doesn't want to love me in that way."
"Don't say that, sir! Oh, I'm sure she loves you. I'm sure she loves you with all her heart. I know I do."
A small smile escaped Mr. Burns' lips and he turned his head towards his loyal companion, "Why, thank you, Smithers. I suppose that slightly brought up my spirits."
Smithers grew excited at his success at cheering up his boss. And then, not thinking twice, Waylon slowly leaned towards Monty and kissed him softly on the lips.
Shocked by Smithers' actions, Burns quickly shoved his assistant away, "Smithers! Have you gone mad?!"
"I'm sorry, sir! I-I was just caught up in the moment! I mean, I don't know what came over me, sir!"
Smithers glanced at his boss's face, expecting to see a scowl. But instead, Mr. Burns' expression had faltered into one of weakness, longing, and desire, "Oh, Wanda...where are you!?"
Unbeknownst to the mogul, a lone tear slid down his assistant's cheek, "I'm sure she's much closer to you than you think, sir."
One more chapter to go! I can't believe that this is almost over! Yay me! You can probably expect the conclusion…sometime today! (After all, I did previously state that I had already written it. Now I just need to revise it.)
Wait a minute...does Burns have a balcony in his office? I thought I saw a balcony attached to his office in both "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" and "Homer the Smithers". At least…I think so. Or maybe I just hallucinated and saw one. Sorry if I'm wrong! Ok, for sake of argument, he now has a balcony XD
