"(frag) S3M6 Christmas in Sendai"
|
[Kate, Juri, and Sumire are aboard an express train from Ohji to Sendai, en route to the Shinguuji compound for the Christmas festivities.]
Kate pictured a younger Sumire exploding onto the scene at the Deedlit Satori Mandeville Memorial Institute and couldn't help laughing. "What's so funny about that?" Sumire demanded. "Do you not think I could've gotten in? I'm not just one of the great beauties of our age, you know; I also happen to have a brilliant mind." "I'm j-just pic-c-picturing you and L-Liza g-going head t-to head b-b-back in the d-day," said Kate between giggles. Sumire's dark eyes widened. "What, before her transformation? (And before mine, come to that, I'm sure you've heard the stories,)" she noted as if making an aside to a stage audience. "Frankly, I'd like to think I would have crushed her. I was an -exceptionally- talented bitch." She sighed nostalgically. "Ah, well, that was then. I've mellowed considerably in my old age. You can thank Kaitlyn's father for that," she added offhandedly to Juri. "It turns out the old saying about difficult women is true." Kate made a small noise; Sumire turned back to her with a solicitous look. "I'm sorry, Kaitlyn darling, too much information?" Kate merely gave her a look, because she knew that if she opened her mouth it was all over; Sumire shrugged and added nonchalantly, "In that case, I probably shouldn't mention that your mother and I are planning to finally fix him up with Kohran this year. The poor dear desperately needs her bolts tightened, if you'll pardon the expression." Kate, barely containing herself, glanced to Juri for support; but all she got from that quarter was a single arched eyebrow, which finished her off. She buried her face in Serge's back (puzzling the tiger considerably) to avoid alerting the whole coach with her torrent of laughter. Once she'd gotten that out of her system, she raised her face a little from the tiger's back (now slightly damp with tears of mirth) and said, "Y-you're n-not really." "Are we -not,-" Sumire replied mock-haughtily. "She -was- the first of the Hanagumi to kiss him, you know." Shaking her head, Kate let go of Serge's sides and flopped back against the compartment wall. "You p-people have r-r-ruined his r- reput-t-tation," she said sadly. "It's a dirty job," Sumire conceded, "but someone has to do it. It's probably petty of me, but I just like seeing -how ridiculous- we can make the rumors in 'Hello!' magazine without his knowledge. Everyone needs hobbies." "Th-th-the one about the chorus l-line was a b-b-bit much," Kate opined. Sumire gave a rather Gallic shrug. "I only regret that I not only can't claim, but don't know who -is- responsible for, the one about James May."

Let us observe James May as he sits in his cubicle, reading an article in 'Hello!' magazine. Over the top of the pages, we can see the upper half of his face go through several interesting convolutions as he reads and re-reads the same paragraph several times. As he finally finishes the article, we can see that his hands have balled into fists, which also ruins the magazine. A moment later, May's head emerges from the entrance to his cubicle. "CLARKSON!" he bellows, his voice heavy with his irritation... So, this is how the audiobook played out in my head. It was read by Alan Rickman, apparently. ---- Now Playing: VNV Nation -- Carry You (Judgement, 2007)

>That's a fun and cheery little fragment, but it only whets my appetite >for more. > >Random thought: If this story does get finished, will Symphony 3 cease >to be title "The Unfinished Symphony?" According to the page for Symphony 3, Entr'Acte: A Day at the Races is still to come. By the listing, that one would fit in the timeline immediately before Christmas in Sendai, and directly after Fifth Movement: Sophomore Slump. Jeanne
