I had the hardest time during the night waiting until my morning coffee to read this! Kept seeing that you had posted and wanted to peek.
Luckily, when I dropped off I slept well and even slept late. Lovely experience to sit down to this with the first cups of the day, sun just rising. . . . It's a touching epi and, as usual, and the music selection was super.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone.

Yishka, I have met Chase once -rather the POTNer- decent kid.

Wu, thanks for the compliments.

Kathy, :)...

So where does everyone see these caracters going?... Is this the end, or as pointed above by 3Turner, is there some steam left, and some unknowns to be discovered?...

I think that there is more unknowns yet to be discovered. Looks like now there is a Mission Impossible thing with the new device and the 2 turned royal guards attempting to get the device. Am I right? Am I right?:D

The Potential is there. There are now couples, which are easier to write for (solo characters are really tough). I should not be the one to say, as all I do is write them. Anyone out there reading, speak up !!...

Episode Twenty-Hundred

It was a brand new morning in Canon Manor, and the sun started peeking out from behind the hills, another Andalucian sunrise.

Emily and Rudy were out for a drive, while Irene and Steve decided to walk within the club, maybe check out the tennis courts (months earlier, the Olsen twins were completely hogging the turf).

http://www.youtube.com​/watch?v=swQi4CAzmrA (external link) - SONG HERE

Someone knocked at the door. Chase rushed to put away the blanket from the couch he had slept in, and then buttoned up his shirt. The first new clothes in a long time, specially after a much needed shower. He was anxious...who could it be?

As he opened the door, ready to see Tiki smiling and saying good morning, he instead found Madelaine, in a jogging suit, helping herself inside the house.

"where is Tiki?" Chase asked.

"Oh, She's probably still asleep. We did not sleep much last night. How about you? Did William Snore?"

Chase chuckled, but obviously dissapointed the girl at the door was not coming for him. "Yeah, we tried the big bed, but he just moved around too much, so I decided to come down to the couch" tortled Chase, with his classic half smile.

William yelled from the hallway upstairs " Hey, Mate, can I borrow a sweater?" (It sounded more like "Sweatae", his accent -a little known fact about william, is that he sounded like he had spent his early years in Kildare, just west of Dublin- so he did sound a bit funny, though definitely english.

He came running downstairs while putting the sweater on, and as his head poked out of the clothing, he saw Madelaine. She might as well had shot him with a .45 pistol, because his first reaction was to bounce back, to Chase it seemed he had crashed into the astonishing invisible sphere of her beauty. They kissed, he drank some orange juice, and shaking Chase's hand they departed "Thanks for the pad man, we're going for a little stroll around the Club."

http://www.youtube.com​/watch?v=8Kd8xp86reY (external link)

Chase sat back on the couch, desirous to crawl back and just lay there the rest of the day. He turned on the TV, and simply sat there, watching some Informertial in spanish, about some Potato Cutter or Lubricant for engines, he was not very sure.

About five minutes later, he stopped pitying himself, and realizing one important detail: If Tiki was to come to see him, she'd probably have to wheel herself over, as her leg cast was still on her. He felt stupid, and immediately turned off the TV. As he stepped out, he found someone literally about his door.

"Why good morning there, sleepy head, would you care to help me navigate this thing?" It was Tiki, on a loaner Wheelchair. "Did you come all the way...?" said Chase, pointing towards the end of the court.

"Yup," she said in good spirits, "If the mountain does not come to whomever, then I gotta carry my sorry leg to the mountain".


Chase immediately helped her, and they hung out at his place. She would ask him questions about his past, mostly trivial ones, and every little while, she would strike him with a deeper one. They enjoyed each other's company, it seemed.

At his hime, Eduardo was watching a movie and weeping of emotion with Alicia. (http://www.youtube.com​/watch?v=L7BQRGXFLJs (external link))

The Tennis Courts:

Out and about, Irene and Steve were enjoying the sunny morning. Little did they know, that they were about to encounter two rogue operatives, with only one objective in mind (to acquire a copy of the 2Di Camera)...



To be continued...

Excellent. By the way, those twins do tend to be little divas sometimes- it all boils down to their Full House days, where they had to be the same person;) (or maybe it is just because they are hungry) I really am enjoying the characters and story line(s) you have developed. Thanks:)


...But still the clever north wind was not satisfied. It spoke to her of towns yet to be visited, friends yet to be discovered...

Steve and Irene are about to hit it with the Mission Impossible boys, Chauncey and Nick. On the other hand, Eduardo and Alicia are sparking some interesting relationship -will her work allow her to keep a steady boyfriend?- and Emily and Rudy will have to step up and save the day. Chase and Tiki are also about to be miraculously healed (just for plot purposes) and they will attempt to fight to protect the Canon 2Di prototype.

I hope it sounds like fun. I want to develop some characters a bit more, that did not get nearly as much light or screen time up to now.

Madelaine, am I hearing Wedding bells??... Calling Prince William.
