I was about to scream but then decided it wouldn't help. Johnny was right beside me shaking with fear for the same reason I did so there was no help to get.
The Alien hissed in a delighted tone of voice "Ah, my ssssupper. ... and a fat little dessssssert bessside him"
That was too much. I stepped forward a bit clucking offended "As if! I'm SO not fat, you - you .. Johnny says I am ro-round. And - and that that's quite lo-lovely. So there !!!"
... then I realized who I was arguing with and ended the whole thing with a nervous giggle.
Johnny reached up a bit belated and clammed a hand over my mouth saying in a tense tone of voice "Will you be quiet! ... it's not like she care about that anyway"
I think the Alien started to hiss some more but a tired woman's voice coming from the silver screen at our right interrupted her saying "Oh, come off it, Charlotte ... Stop scaring the kiddies. And why are you scared at all, you two? Charlotte told me one day that she know you very well"
We looked up at the screen and there was Bridget Jones sitting on a couch with a magazine in her hands and looking down at us with a little smile.
Charlotte? Charlotte Perkin-Smythe, the shape shifter from Xracz who has played the Alien in some of the movies ... Was it only Charlotte !!!
And it was ...
With a delighted laughter she changed into her own shape which is intimidating enough for a fa ... round chicken. She's a six and a half foot blonde with gorgeous curves in all the right places. Slim and a pleasure to watch. O.K. - so her skin is as blue as the sky on a warm summer's day. But we can't all be perfect, can we? ... or rather - the supermodels can. And Johnny *o* But sometimes I doubt they are quite human ...
Anyhow - now my very own very human little 'alien' got mad and moving forward said quite angrily "Why the Hell did you have to do that, Charlotte! That was so NOT funny!"
And Charlotte - being a sweet woman when not playing the Alien - look a bit ashamed and said quietly "No, Johnny - perhaps not ... But it wasn't like I was going to eat you! You are both delicious to look at but still ... Johnny, please - I am just so booooored! Playing the same scene time and again. A woman need some fun once in a while. ... and I only came to ask my girl friend Bridget here if she wanted to go out Christmas shopping with me. Golden Dawn - you know, the jewel shop run by dwarves - has a bargain on diamond earrings this week"
I could see Johnny was already relenting. He gets so mad and very quickly too at times but if people apologize he also stop being mad just as fast.
Now Bridget came up beside Charlotte and said smiling "Sure we can go shopping. ... but did you have to stick your head out through the screen and roar at my poor audience like that, Lottie? O.K. they laughed - but I tripped over the chair being quite startled when you suddenly stood in the kitchen door and that probably looked funny. And what was that you roared - "ROCK'N'ROLL FOR EVEEEEEER"? ... crazy broad! Tshee-hee"
Before a purple faced - the poor 'broad' was blushing - Charlotte could answer Johnny asked "Do you mean you show up every day and play every scene all through the movie - like it's a play at the theatre? But you don't have to do that, my dear ladies. The movie is already made. Taped and copied and what do I know"
The ladies looked a bit sheepishly at each other and then back at Johnny. "Well - no ... Not every time. In every cinema and such" Charlotte finally answered and Bridget nodded.
"One have to do something with one's time though" Charlotte continued "It's not like people out there has an imaginary Alien like they do a Johnny. So yes, sometimes I show up and kick a bit of a.. behind"
Don't you feel sorry for Charlotte? I do ... So I'll go and blow my nose and see if Johnny - my imaginary Johnny - can't lighten my mood a bit. See ya on the next page, my dears.
