Meg & Eddie:Logismoi Ch6. Smile Eddie, Let's be Happy!
(A Shadowy Figure steps into a pitch black abyss and looks above as Let Me In by REZZ begins playing ominously.)
I shed all my disguises...
Slipped deep into the silence...
(The Shadowy Figure's skin begins to peel as you see their face, a familiar smile shows as their eyes open.)
I've been...
(Eddie opens his eyes.)
Haunted by where you have me!
My self-control is crashing, oh!
Can't make these feelings go!
(Eddie is lying there, his eyes still open, still looking at the roof.)
So I'll lie awake again!
Each night I play pretend!
(The Shadowy Figure's face is shown to be Cecil's and he smiles at the camera.)
I toss and turn, I ache and yearn!
For rules to bend!
For you to let me in!
(Cecil's body turns into smog and shoots into the sky and the scene changes back to Eddie's motel room and smog begins to slowly seep out from under his bed as his family sleeps and he lays there.)
You to let me in!
(The smog begins to form a shadow behind the bed.)
Haunted by where you have me!
My self-control is crashing, oh!
Can't make these feelings go!
(The Shadow Person appears above Eddie slowly leaning over him.)
So I'll lie awake again!
Each night I play pretend!
I toss and turn, I ache and yearn!
(Eddie sees the shadow person making direct eye contact and it gives a smile with razor sharp teeth lining its sadistic grin.)
For rules to bend!
For you to let me in!
(The Shadow Person attacks Eddie.)
You to let me in!
(Eddie wakes up in a sweat sitting forward filled with terror.)
"Huh, wha…oh." Says Meg sitting up looking at Eddie, "It happened again…" She says putting her hand on his shoulder, "Idea." Meg reaches under the covers grabbing her slipper, "Patty!" She shouts, throwing the slipper at Patty in the chair spiking the top of her head.
"Hugh, ugh what the fuck mom?!" Shouts Patty sleepily looking up and clutching her head.
(Meg snaps her fingers getting Patty's attention.)
"Mom, it's like friggin 'one in the morning, what's wrong?" Patty says, wiping her hair out of her eyes.
"You know that girlfriend you have." Says Meg.
"What about her?" Asks Patty ready to pass back out.
"Take your dad to see her Uncle Omega." Replies Meg sternly.
"Whyyy?" Groans Patty.
"Just do it please, for me." Pleads Meg.
"Ugh…fine." Groans Patty going back to sleep.
The next morning.
Patty walks out of the shower dressed still drying her hair, "Come on dad, let's get this over with." She says annoyance flaring through her voice
"Listen, young lady given everything that happened to you over the last year you could be a little more sympathetic." Meg replies sternly walking into the room.
"Oh I'm sorry, but where was that? During all the times I tried to convince you two that little twat was evil, no one believed me until it was too goddamn late!" Petty begins pacing around the living room in anger, "It's like do as I say not as I do here but I'm supposed to feel bad cuz the shoes on the other fucking foot! Where was my sympathy where was my support who had my back when every fucking thing was over, except Drista and Omega hell even Molly did more and now I'm supposed to involve them in more stupid shit?!" Patty finishes tears welling in her eyes when suddenly Meg puts her hands on her shoulders and pulls her in, embracing her in a mother's hug.
"I'm sorry…" Meg says, kissing her forehead, "I'm sorry we didn't do more…" She pulls back and looks Patty in the eyes, "There's nothing I can do to change the past, but there's everything we can do to change our future, remember this Patty, I love you so very very much.
"I Love you too mom." Patty replies hugging Meg back then looking into her eyes she says, "I'll do whatever I can to help dad, I promise.
Later on the drive to Omega's.
(Drista is driving Patty riding shotgun Eddie is in a chair staring out the window watching the flair of the multiverse as different versions of Quahog pass by dead-eyed and quiet.)
"Wassup with him?" Asks Drista motioning her head towards Eddie.
"More multiverse bullshit or a dream, at this fucking point I'm not sure." Replies Patty with a slight shrug.
"Aight I hear 'ya." Says Drista as they pull the Volkswagen into Omega's universe, finally reaching the garage and getting out, "Yooooo Uncle!" She shouts opening the garage.
Spinning in his chair, Omega says, "Drista and company, what's the haps?"
"Not fully sure but it's something to do with him." Replies Drista who points to Eddie who looks up and waves bashfully and Omega just waves back at him in turn.
"Okay let me get a look at him." Omega says helping Eddie up the platform and he begins circling around Eddie just looking at him, "Okay idea." He says grabbing a microphone off the table and handing it to Eddie.
"Oh no I couldn't." Objects Eddie bashfully.
"Come on, boyo just have some fun." Omega says flipping on a switch and the Volkswagen begins playing L-O-V-E (Japanese version) by Nat King Cole he then tosses Eddie a microphone.
L to kaitara Look at me.
(Omega dances over to Eddie.)
O to tsuzukete Okey.
(Omega puts a hand on Eddie's shoulder.)
V wa yasashii moji Very good.
(Omega slaps Eddie's back hard enough he spins around.)
E to musubeba ai no ji L-O-V-E!
"Woah woah woah!" Says Eddie spinning around.
Love wa sekai no kotoba.
Love wa futari no takara.
(Omega puts another hand on Eddie's head stopping his spinning.)
Aishiaeba ashita mo akarui.
Love, LOVE, You love, I love you!
"Your turn." Omega says with a smile but Eddie shakes his head no, and Omega just shakes his head yes and presses a button making the lyrics project on the wall from The Volkswagen.
"Well fuck me." Eddie says, beginning to sing.
L to kaitara Look at me!
O to tsuzukete Okey!
V wa yasashii moji Very good!
E to musubeba ai no ji L-O-V-E!
(Eddie begins to really get into the singing.)
Love wa sekai no kotoba!
Love wa futari no takara!
Aishiaeba ashita mo akarui!
(Both Eddie and Omega finish singing together.)
Love, LOVE, You love, I love you!
Love, LOVE, You love, I love you!
Love, LOVE, You love, I love you!
"How do you feel?" Asks Omega with a smug smile.
"A bit better." Replies Eddie with a slight smile.
"There you go boyo." Omega says leading them back to the Volkswagen but before they get on he pulls Drista aside.
"What's up Uncle?" Asks Drista.
"There's something wrong with him. I didn't want to say anything to upset him any more, but you need to keep an eye on the situation." Replies Omega sternly, a worried expression written all over his face.
"Okay, I will no problem." Drista says turning around and heading towards the Volkswagen.
