Episode 4.00

Siobhan’s Apartment

Siobhan sat on her bed, chewing on her thumbnail, staring at the clock. She hated having to wait for time to pass. Especially now, she just needed to know what the answer was. Then she had to figure out how she was going to explain any of this. The events leading up were such a blur that really made no sense at all to her.

She nervously tapped her foot as she watched the seconds passing, she thought nothing could feel worse then this—until someone began knocking at her door.

She stood in the hallway, “Come in.”

A moment later Dan Adams walked in, “Here’s your phone bill the mailman put it in my box.”

Siobhan leaned against the door, “Thanks, see you later.”

Dan was about to leave and then stopped, “Are you alright Siobhan?”

“Yeah I’m fine, just decompressing before packing.”

Dan nodded, “That’s right you have your vacation starting tomorrow. I’ll see you later.”

“Yeah later.”

Dan was out of the apartment and Siobhan went into her bathroom, there was no mistake. She was pregnant, but how?

Pinõn Hallow Municipal Prison

Chad lay on the cot in his bright orange jump suit, he could feel his cellmate’s eyes on him. Chad moved on his side, “Stop staring at me Brighton.”

“Why should I—honey?”

Chad threw is pillow at Brighton, “Leave me alone.”

“You didn’t want that last night.”

“Shut up about that.”

Brighton moved across to Chad, “But I love you Chad.” he placed his hand on the small of Chad’s back.

“I can’t do this Brighton.” Chad sat up, “It’s just too hard.”

Brighton cupped Chad’s face in his hands and pulled him into him for a long, deep, sensual, needing kiss.

Pinõn Hallow Mall

Maggie and Conner walked around the mall, “Lysa will love that. She’ll be back from the catholic boarding school before you know it.”

Conner smiled, “Yeah, she’s still Daddy’s perfect little girl.”

Maggie put her bag down and sat down at the edge of the fountain looking around, and oddly she noticed that all the couples matched up color wise. One in orange, another in blue, one in red and one in green. “I was thinking about us Conner.”

“What about us?” Conner sat beside her.

“I don’t know exactly how it started, But it started in fun; I just wanted someone to be gay with, To play with someone. But now I realize that I should never let it go, And I’ve found to tell you so.” She sang.

Conner looked around and noticed people weren’t watching, they were dancing.

“Ev’ry kiss, every hug Seems to act just like a drug; You’re getting to be a habit with me.”

“Um Mags, I’m not sure this is really the—“

“Let me stay in your arms, I’m addicted to your charms; You’re getting to be a habit with me.” Maggie pulled Conner up and they started dancing around, Conner looking around wondering what was going on.

“I used to think our love was something that I Could take or leave alone, But now I couldn’t do without my supply, I need you for my own.”

Conner tried to break away as he noticed that everyone was doing the same exact steps, the same dance, all timed together. “What the hell?”

“Oh, I can’t break away, I must have you ev’ry day; As regularly as coffee or tea. You’ve got me in your clutches, And I can’t break free; You’re getting to be a habit with me.”

Conner pulled away as Maggie jumped into the fountain, kicking up water as she danced around, still singing, “Oh, I can’t break away, I must have you ev’ry day; As regularly as coffee or tea. You’ve got me in your clutches, And I can’t break free; You’re getting to be a habit with me.”

Before Conner could say anything else, Maggie was sitting beside him again as if nothing had just happened. She didn’t even seem to notice her shoes and pants were soaking wet. “Um, Maggie are you feeling okay?”

She nodded and smiled, “Of course I am, why do you ask?”

Conner looked at her with his mouth gaped open, “You just did a musical type thing. That’s not normal honey.”

“Oh did you want a solo to?”

Conner shook his head, “um, no I’m alright without a solo.”

Film Magic

Eric looked around the backroom, “Conner’s gonna kill me man!” he cried out as he looked at the growing flames, “Okay it was stop, drop, shit, then what!”

Eric began running in circles, “Stop! Drop! Run!”

Eric stopped and scratched his head, “no that’s just not it. I know! Stop! Drop! Ram your self into the wall!”

Eric did just that and realized that wasn’t right either as an alarm started to go off. “Oh no, the cops are gonna come. What do I do with this?”

He held a bag high up in the air filled with marijuana, “I know!” He explained as it he’d just gotten the brightest idea ever. He opened the bag and threw the contents on fire.

“Wait, that was wrong.” Eric sighed as he watched his pot go up in flames. Though it didn’t take long before he calmed down.

“I’m hungry.” he announced to the flames, before walking into the smoke filled front part of the store and opening a bag of popcorn.

“I made a sock once.” He told Sean McKay who came in with the firemen.

Sean sniffed the air and looked at Eric scarfing down the popcorn, “You’re kidding me right?”

“Want some, this is some good shit man.”

“I bet it was.” Sean sighed as he himself began to relax and reached for the popcorn.

Hallow Hills—The Nursery

Mrs. Blinky, Tommy the Turtle, Alfred Lord Brown Bottom, and Carmel Camel sat around the small play table that Del, Fallon and Isabella had just started to play with. All three young children were asleep in the cribs.

Mrs. Blinky poured Alfred a cup of tea, “Now tell us again what happened at the wedding. Ever since then Abby hasn’t been around.” She then adjusted her ears in her straw hat.

Alfred looked around, “Now Girls, I shouldn’t really tell you this but, Chad didn’t stop Abby from marrying Ethan!”

The girls gasped and Tommy rolled his eyes, “Hurry up and get on with the story.”

“Oh hush now Tommy, I know you just have a date with that hot new flamingo Adel bought Isabella.” Alfred grinned.

“I do not.”

“Oh Tommy be careful, you know how those pink ones are. All uppity and acting like they rule the playroom.” Carmel rolled her eyes before trying to drink her tea.

“Anyways, then the very next day, Chad was arrested for murdering Kathryn Layden.”

“No, but he couldn’t have—could he?” Mrs. Blinky listened intently, “This is so much better then General Hospital. Go on.”

Alfred looked around, “Well according to Daphne the Dolphin, you know she sits on the windowsill looking out to where the pool house had been, well she saw the whole thing.”

The other animals gasped, “Who did it?” Tommy asked, desperate for the news.

“Well it was—“

The door opened and Adel saw the animals sitting around the table and quickly put them around the room in their separate places.

Ginger Falls Tribune Office

Wink Montana came in, looked around and sighed. How the hell could a news office be so fucking dull? He thought to himself, then he saw a young man come out of an office, “Do you know where I can find Bradley Ballantyne?”

Ricky Kensington looked up, “Holy Mocha! You’re Wink Montana, host of Love and Honor. Man you’re like the coolest guy ever!”

“Um, thanks kid. Like I said, do you know where I can find Bradley Ballantyne?”

Ricky pointed towards the boardroom, “He’s having a meeting with his staff.”

“Aren’t you part of the staff?” Wink wrinkled his nose in confusion.

Ricky laughed, “No, I’m his nephew’s best friend. Jeff has a share of the paper. We’re on our way to the Frat house after this.”

Wink nodded, “Okay, and what’s your name?”

“Ricky Kensington, of the Chicago Kensington’s.” He acted proudly, but soon noticed that didn’t go over well with Wink.

“Are you related to Arnold Kensington?”

“Yeah, why?”

Wink took a few menacing steps towards Ricky, “That bastard dropped out of Love and Honor so he could get back together with his ex-girlfriend. I had to bed my college buddy to take his place.”

Ricky shrugged, “But Love and Honor did so well in the ratings.”

“I got lucky!”

“Dude, take a zorloft or something.”

Dan’s Apartment

A guy dressed as a clown walked out, “Sorry I just don’t think we’d get along. Besides you don’t like guns and I have one on me right now.” Dan told him before sending him on his way.

Dan banged his head against the frame before someone tapped him on the shoulder. “Are you here about the apartment?”

“Yes.”

“Come on in.” Dan told them, without looking up.

“Nice place.” the stranger told him.

“Thanks.” Dan sighed as he took out the clipboard. “What’s your name pal?”

“Mork.”

“Oh like the guy on TV.”

“Um, sure.”
Dan starting putting the answers down, “What do you do for a living Mork?”

“Pilot, and scientist.”

“Awesome, interesting combination.”

“I think so.” Mork told him, just as the front door opened and Siobhan came in.

Siobhan stopped as soon as she saw Mork, her head began to pound with pain.

Siobhan found herself in a sterile, white room, filled with lights. Her body frozen, something holding her flat on a table as someone or rather something stood above her.

“Hello, we’ve just impregnated you with one of our children. You won’t remember until you see us again.” The being told her.

Siobhan stared at Mork, “You, you’re not human!”

Dan looked up and saw Siobhan about to attack Mork, it was then that he looked at the roommate applicant and noticed he was a five foot green guy.
