The Wacky Adventures of Romana and Persephone
D.W.Q.M.: Vural: "Clock expert?"
the Fourth Doctor: "Horologist, actually, and chronometrist. I just love clocks: atomic clocks, quartz clocks, grandfather clocks...Cuckoo clocks..."
Setting: Cleveland area-West Side The radio of a Ford Mustang is softly playing music a la film noir...ummm...oh, yeah, no radio in the car...well, let's just pretend.
Perseph and Ro pull up to a shady looking store. "Well, I guess this is it, Perseph. You coming in?" "No, Ro, I think I'll wait out here in the car...are you sure this place is safe?" "Oh, yeah-I've dealt with them before on eBay...it's just...well..." "What, Ro?" Ro hesitates before replying, "Well, if I'm not out in a half hour, you better come in after me." "Ummmm...oh-kaayy. Good luck!" "Thanks!" Ro says over her shoulder as she hops out of the car and bounces off into the store.
As Perseph is waiting in the car, she nervously glances into the store window and wishes it was clearer so she could see what was going on inside. Then she notices the car filled with adolescent high school boys oogling and whistling at her, trying to pick her up. She gives and exasperated sigh and decides to move the car to a less obvious space. She looks in the rear-view mirror, and sees no action going on in the store. 10 minutes go by...then 15...20... 'Dangit, Ro', she says to herself, 'I should have never let you go in there alone. Simple traffic violation, my a**!' reffering to the 4 cop cars she saw in front of Ro's apartment earlier that day-Ro insisted that someone was just pulled over for a traffic violation, and it had nothing to do with her.
30 minutes. Perseph was just about to get out of the car when she spotted Ro coming out of the door, clutching something to her chest with a sheepish grin on her face. Perseph starts the car as Ro climbs in and says excitedly, "Look, Perseph, look! They had the new Non-Sport Update!!! And check this out..." from her pocket she pulled out a clear plastic box, "They had Stargate cards, too! They keep this stuff in the back for their mail-order stuff. It's mostly sports in the store front." "Ah, I see" she replied. Ro giggled and said, "Hey, wanna see me act like a little kid?" "No, Ro-I got enough of that with you and Jerm earlier today. You wanna go to the drive-in for a couple of burgers?" Ro smiled and said, "Okay!" "Good." Perseph put the car in gear and smiled in amazment at the childish wonder her friend could exhibit at any given time.
/end film noir music from the non-existent radio. ;) *heehee*
