Oh hey look at that! People are reading already.. Happy New Year Y'all.
I'm happy to play these guys again. You kind of get attached you know? Here's Part 2 of Ares' new journey. I'm sure it's no surprise really.
Artie: "So welcome to my underground office. "
Dakota: "We've been here a couple of times waiting on you two, Artie."
Artie: "Oh sorry. I had to wait for him to be allowed to enter. Something about traveling papers and all that. Big mess. Boss is mad. Same story different day. "
Christin: "It's alright. We've all had some interesting times while we were down here. Reka was a lovely girl hrm?"
Jules: "Yes. She had a way wit her words."
Dakota: "She was a potty mouth which is why she always had soap in her mouth."
Christin: "That was one of Aggie's better ideas." -chuckles-
Artie: "Well I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves. When Addy ate her ambrosia, we all got wardrobes to hop into. Everyone has a limited amount of time to make a choice. That choice also extends to all of our household members. So each of you have the chance to choose. You can do what you've been doing, get a job or live another lifetime together."
Dakota & Jules look to one another.
Jules: "We spoke of zis in the zee past and we 'ave decided to stay as we are."
Dakota: "There is nothing that we would do any differently with our lives. We lived with wonderful friends. We had a beautiful daughter. We both feel that there is nothing else to be done to make us happy. We are happy to just spend eternity together as we are now."
Adrianna: "So what's this I hear about you guys having a unicorn? How come we didn't have a unicorn when I lived there?"
Ares: -laughs- "I tell you I have something important to talk about and you want to get mad we had a unicorn."
Adrianna: "yes! What else could there be to talk about?"
Ares: "Look ok so we finished the dynasty right?"
Adrianna: "Right."
Ares: "And we were given choices of what to do now that it's all over."
Adrianna: "Ok what does this have to do with the unicorn?"
Ares: "I'm getting to that promise."
Adrianna: "Alright. You better."
Ares: "So I was thinking of becoming a reaper like Dad. You know living down here and being immortal and hot all the time that kind of thing. You could totally get a job down here too and we could live forever together and maybe even adopt a unicorn."
Adrianna: "I'm not sure I could reap people."
Ares: "Hey maybe you could be a banshee or a firefly or an animal reaper. You know one of the ones that goes to get all the cute and cuddlies and bring them to the giant cat jungle of awesomeness?"
Adrianna: "Oh wow - you think I could?"
Ares: "It could happen."
Adrianna: "If that's really want you want to do, then I'm with you to the end. I don't want to be apart ever again and you now owe me a unicorn."
Ares: "Anything for you babe."
Adrianna: "Darn tootin'."
Artie: "If you are sure, then I won't stop you. I just want you guys to know I really appreciate everything you did for the family."
Jules: "We are sure."
Dakota: "Thank you for giving us a place in your home and giving me everything I ever wanted as long as I held onto the paintbrush." -chuckles-
Artie: "It wasn't that bad though right?"
Dakota: "Of course not. I just wish Rica could be here so I could say goodbye to her, too."
Artie: "If I can sneak any messages to her, I'll let her know."
Artie: "Goodbye Old Friend. You take care of her or I'll find a way to make you miserable. You're in my world now."
Christin & Dakota: "Artie!"
Artie: "What?"
Jules: -chuckles- "I would not dream of 'urting 'er."
Artie: "Goodbye darlin'."
Dakota: "Goodbye red man."
Artie: "You'll always be like a daughter to me. That's why I have your bunny too."
Dakota: -sniff- "I know. Don't make me cry though ok? I'll find a way to haunt you when you sleep."
Artie: -laughs- "Of that I have no doubt. Enjoy him, keep him on his toes. Never know I might see you during a drop off."
Dakota: "Exactly."
Dakota: "Hey guys.. Sorry to bother you but we're leaving."
Ares: "Hey where you two going?"
Dakota: "We want to continue forever just the way it is right now."
Ares: "Is that why you're still all old and wrinkly?"
Dakota: -swats at him- "Hey!"
Ares: "Ow. Was it a bee or something?"
Dakota: "You take care of this girl."
Ares: "I will. And hey.. all joking aside?"
Dakota: "Yeah?"
Ares: "I'll never forget you. I'll always remember you as my first crush and you will always hold a special place in my heart. Even if I did find someone better."
Dakota: "I'll never forget you either, you scummy waste of space." -hugs him again-
Ares: "Aww don't be going all soft on me or anything."
Dakota: "Never." -hits him in the upper arm and fades away as her husband's arms circle around her waist-
Artie: "What about you, lovebug?"
Christin: "Oh Artie.. I don't know. The fireflies say I don't really have much of a choice."
Artie: "You have a choice but it's not the same for you and me."
Christin: "Because of them?"
Artie: "I will always love you but I told you in the beginning that there were others in my heart."
Christin: "You and the fireflies both did. I knew the job you had when we married. You were 100% honest with me and when you weren't, Rica was. I know we don't have a future together here or anywhere else."
Christin: "When we got married, my eyes were open. They were still open when I actually met Agnes and Cassidy back at your other house. I have no regrets. We made a beautiful baby and he was the beginning of the end for you. You finally achieved your goal of eight immortals."
Christin: "You're still my sexy red man and you better take care of our boy."
Artie: "I will. I promise."
Christin: "One last kiss then.. and then I'm going to follow the other two."
Artie: "I don't want to say goodbye again."
Christin: "Then don't. The fireflies said we'll see each other again some day."
Artie: "They're mischief makers though. They can lie."
Christin: "Shh.. they might hear you."
Artie: "Shh ok. Take care lovely."
Christin: "Be better behaved than you normally would be without ever being good." -fades away-
Artie: "Haha. Yes ma'am."
Ares: "Hey Dad guess what?!"
Artie: -sighs- "What's that son?"
Ares: "Hey what's with the clocks?"
Artie: "Why do you think?"
Ares: "You secretly love clocks?"
Artie: "It's a reaper thing. You'll figure it out."
Adrianna: "Because being a reaper is all about time. Can't be late to pick someone up."
Artie: "Exactly. Being late is bad for business."
Artie: "So what were you going to tell me earlier?"
Adrianna: "He's getting me a unicorn."
Artie: -chuckles- "Oh really? That I got to see."
Ares: "Hey what's that thing spitting out paper into the bucket and why is it making noise?"
Artie: "It's probably either new assignments for me or one of The Boss's "gentle" reminders that you need to visit HR. We can do that later. Right now I'm winning."
