The Final Countdown: 6.0Weston, of course, requested that Gwenyth bring back Nora.
He also requested--although somewhat reluctantly--that she bring Pat as well.
Gwenyth: "Are you sure?" she had asked, skeptically.
Weston paused before sighing and nodding. "Nora will miss him, if he isn't there to welcome her back."
So Gwenyth scooped him up and carried him back home.
They downed their young again potions.
And, once they had sorted out their wardrobes, Nora handed Pat a potion of his own. He gazed down at it with a sense of wonder.
Pat: "Is this really happening? I can finally be real?"
Nora: "Absolutely!" Nora cheered with excitement. "Now drink up!"
And so he did.
Pat: "Oh Nora," he exclaimed, hugging her. "This is the best day of my life!"
Pat: "It's going to be wonderful! You, me, Weston: the three of us all together in a new town. I can't wait!"
Weston stopped cold in his tracks. "What?"
Nora intervened quickly before things could get out of hand. "Well, um, you see . . . that's the thing Pat. Weston and I want a life together, just the two of us."
Pat: "But . . . but I've always lived with you, Nora!"
Nora: "I'm sorry Pat, but Weston and I need a place of our own. And now that you're real, you can venture out and live your own life. You can go where ever you want."
Pat: "Where would I go? I'd be lost without you."
Nora: "I . . . think I have someone that might be able to help with that. You see the truth is, I'm actually a clone."
Nora: "I was wondering if you and Laura Talon might hit it off. She's the one I was cloned from, and Gwenyth brought her back too because--"
But the second Pat laid eyes on her, the rest of the world went dark. There was only one person in the room he could see or hear.
He brushed past Nora before she could continue.
Pat: "My dearest Laura, you are the most exquisite creature I have ever beheld!"
Laura: "What the--who are--?"
Pat: "The man of your dreams," he said simply.
Laura seemed to agree.
While Pat and Laura decided to go take a look at the stars (and become better acquainted), Weston and Nora celebrated their success.
Weston: "Well played, my love. Can you believe we're finally free of him? No more interruptions in the shower. No need to shoo him out of the room so we can get some privacy . . ."
Nora: "Yeah," she smiled softly. "I'll miss him too."
Nora: "So, shower?"
Weston: "Can we be sure Pat won't barge in again?"
Nora shrugged. "He'll get one heck of a show if he does!"
