A/N-This chapter is based off of 'Julia and Suzanne's Big Adventure' . Julia and her sister went to Japan to get a car for Suzanne and they met Akiyma, the man who was head of the car agency where Suzanne did NOT get her car ( it was in the ocean ).
This is about them meeting back up in America in a funny ( I hope ) way. Remember, in my series, Quinton is a producer/ director.
Julia and Suzanne came on the set of a beautiful scene from 'Gone with the Wind' on stage, they had on beautiful wearing beautiful dresses from that time period and of coarse, our favorite sisters are arguing ( again ) and Mary Jo comes up to them and asks,
"What's wrong now?"
Julia looks at her and she moves in closer then tells her friend,
"Mary Jo, I was very happy to help Quinton out and I was honored that he choose me to be in his play but..."
She turns to look at Suzanne who is checking herself out in a hand mirror and Julia says,
"But this casting is ridiculous"
Suzanne puts the hand mirror on a table then turns to her and says,
"Julia, you're just mad because you are cast as the mother and she dies and I am cast as the beautiful Scarlett who goes on to live a full rich life"
Julia preens her sharp, brown eyes together and says,
"Yes, but in the end remember, Rhett Butler tells her he doesn't give a damn"
That starts a another endless squabble and Mary Jo just rolls her eyes then Quinton comes out and asks his mother,
"Mom, what is going on? It sounds like the before action of a Howard Stern fight with...anybody!"
Mary Jo looks at him and the sisters then says in a dry voice,
"Welcome to my life"
Just then Anthony comes out dressed in his 'Sam' costume and he is clearly unhappy and Julia asks,
"What's wrong Anthony?"
He stops and looks around then says,
"Julia, I'm dressed as a slave and my wife is going to watch this and you ask what's wrong?"
Julia looks out in the audience behind the curtains and sees Anthony's beautiful wife and then turns back to Anthony then says,
"Anthony, Sam was a slave but he was a honored slave who in his freedom was still devoted to Scarlett , so Anthony even tho I have sympathy for your feeling in mis casting, I have problems of my own so...in today's terms, suck it up!"
Anthony looks around in wonder and backs up then Suzanne says,
"Oh Julia, you were just cast as the mother because you are older than me...and be honest, you are a mother"
Julia softens then Anthony says,
"Yes, and if you think about it Suzanne, it's funny to have you as Scarlett since Scarlett was in her 20's and you..."
Suzanne says with anger in her voice,
"All right Anthony! But I'm eternally young and everybody can see that...in fact, I'll gladly say I don't even know my age"
Julia smiles and says,
"You're..." "SHUT..UP ...JULIA!"
Anthony then asks Quinton,
"Who did cast us Quinton? I don't think any of us went before a casting director"
Quinton starts to answer when he tells them,
"Oh, here comes the principal benefactor, he can explain things"
They turn to see Mr. Akiyma, the head of the car company that was to get Suzanne her car but didn't because it fell in the ocean then Suzanne says,
"You! You're the one who is putting on this play" "Yes"
Then she asks,
"You also hired us?"
He smiles and says in broken English,
"Yes, good job, right?"
Suzanne says,
"Well, yes"
Julia rolls her eyes then asks,
"How did you know we could act?"
He smiles and says,
"I hire good detective"
They all look at each other then Quinton asks,
"What can we do for you Mister Akiyma?"
His face brightens then says,
"I have idea for Scarlett's mother"
They all look at each other in curiosity and they all look at him then he says,
"She not die"
This time they look at each other in shock and awe then Quinton gently says,
"But in the book and movies, she always dies"
Akiyma smiles and says,
"Not in my story, she lives, unless you don't want my money"
He panics at that and says,
"Oh no! I think it will be a refreshing change for the mother to live. She and her daughter can survive together"
Akiyma smiles then says,
"Good, I will be watching"
He looks at Julia and he backs out and goes to sit down in the audience and Julia says to Suzanne with the others listening,
"Well, I guess we can both shake our fists and say , 'As God as our witness, we will never eat dirt again"
Suzanne then says,
"Yeah, and Rhett can tell us both he doesn't give a damn"
Anthony then asks him,
"Who is playing Rhett Quinton?"
Just then another Japanese man comes over to then and Julia says,
"Sam!"
Sam is the man who Julia and Suzanne had to share a bed with when they couldn't go to a hotel and Sam shrugs his shoulders and says,
"When I lost my job over there, I became a actor and I have been making a better living at it than what I was doing"
Julia whispers to her gang,
"You know this title, 'Gone with the Wind?"
Everybody shakes their head and she says,
"The wind went to Japan"
They all shake their heads then go to their places and start the play of Atlanta's century.
