Alrighty then...I last left off with Eric screaming at Neila because he thought she was supposed to be in an amazon scene and she was messing it up. Ryan comes to the rescue and tries to straighten it all out. The truth finally gets told that Neila is just a visitor to the set.
Let's see what happens now...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Neila followed them over to a lot just over from the one where they were filming the amazons. She sat down next to a rock that had been cast off the set earlier.
“OK, let’s start the scene at the beginning,” Chris said.
“Fine by me,” Dean agreed.
“Let’s go,” Ryan added.
Chris stood in front of both of them and said, in a sneering voice, “I will be in charge of the academy while Cheiron is away. Now, let’s get started with the morning workout.”
The three of them started doing leg stretches. “Where did Cheiron go?” Dean asked getting into his character.
“He got called home by his Kindre,” Ryan replied doing the same thing.
“Maybe he’s in trouble,” Dean said. “Maybe he needs our help.”
“What? You think we should follow him?” Chris wanted to know, playing his character.
“Well, it is Friday,” Dean explained, “and we won’t be missing anything.”
Chris got the sneering voice back again. “I don’t hear enough sounds of warming up.”
The three looked at each other and said, “This is us leaving.”
Ryan broke form and said, “Ok, let’s skip to the part where the amazons have captured us.”
“How are we going to get out of here?” Chris asked getting back into character. “Amazons don’t like men. They’ll kill us.”
“I’m going to break these bars,” Ryan told him. “And then,…”
“What?” Neila interrupted them. She narrowed her eyes and had a very confused look about her. “What are you guys talking about? ‘Amazons don’t like men.’ That’s not entirely true. ‘They’ll kill us’? That’s not what happens.”
Dean, Chris, and Ryan just stared at her for a moment. “What would you know about that?” Chris asked her. “You don’t even know what we’re doing.”
“Let me ask you one question, guys,” Neila began. “Who are the characters you’re playing?”
“I already told you I’m playing Jason of Corinth,” Chris replied.
“I’m playing Iolaus,” Dean told her.
“And I play Hercules,” Ryan said.
Neila looked at Ryan with a combination of shock and confusion. “You knew you were retelling the life of my brother and you didn’t say anything to me about it?”
“What should I have said?” he asked back.
“OK, I’m now completely confused,” Dean threw out. “Neila, what are you talking about?”
“You could have said anything,” Neila spoke to Ryan, totally ignoring Dean. “But now that it’s out, do you want to know what really happened or do you want people to be misinformed?”
Ryan asked her seriously. “Do you mean to tell me that you recognize the scene we were doing?”
“Yes,” she answered him. “My brother told me all about it. For one, Prince Jason was never captured by the amazons. He stayed at the academy running the training drills that afternoon. The amazons, along with Lilith because she joined the tribe, captured only Hercules and Iolaus and they didn’t hurt them. They were taken to Princess Cyane.”
“How did you know the name of the character for the amazon queen?” Chris eyed her curiously, finally breaking into their discussion.
Neila looked at Chris then back at Ryan. “Maybe now is as good a time as any to tell them what we were going to tell them anyway,” she said.
“Maybe you’re right,” Ryan agreed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So what are Ryan and Neila going to tell Dean and Chris? (As if you don't already know! )
I'll post more later.
