Rated PG
AN: Whipped this up very quickly, in the spirit of the Day.
A Cast of
Place: Conference room.
MLC: Okay everyone, we’re here to come up with a story that involves all of you supporting characters, but none of the leads.
Josh: You mean the humans and vamps together?
Cynthia (pointing to Ray and Lilah): I don’t think they should get to be in it. Too much has been written about them already and they were only in one episode.
Ray: That’s because we are such the perfect loving couple.
Cynthia: Get over yourself! It’s because of the forbidden love and the sex!
Ray (aghast): What forbidden love and sex?
Cynthia (pointing at Lilah): Between her and Mick, of course! What did you think?
Ray (turning to look at Lilah): You and Mick? My best friend? When was this? Why didn’t you ever tell me? That bastard! I’ll kill him! (Ray storms out of room.)
Cynthia (murmuring): Yeah, good luck with that.
Lilah (glaring at Cynthia): You just had to mention that, didn’t you? (Jumps out of seat and runs after Ray.) Ray! Ray! Wait! Let me explain!
Cynthia: Good riddance.
Marissa: More storylines for the rest of us!
Cynthia (smiling at Logan, who is sitting next to her at the table): Logan, I’ve always liked you. Maybe MLC can write a sex scene for us?
Logan (gulps): Us? A-a-a sex scene?
Cynthia: Yes! Wouldn’t it be fun? (Cynthia puts one hand over Logan’s resting on the table, and with her other one runs her fingers through Logan’s curly hair.) I’ve always thought of you as a big ol’ teddy bear. I’d just love to tear your stuffing out! (She taps him on the nose with her finger.)
Logan: Fun? Teddy bear? Stuffing?
Cynthia: I can see it now… I’ll step out of sunken ice bath in a fancy hotel…
Marissa: Already been done, darling.
Cynthia: I know, but they only showed up to my knees. This time Logan could reach out his hand and help me out, pulling me to him…
Marissa: Oh gag me.
Cynthia: …or I could pull him down into the ice with me and we could…
Logan (jumps up so quickly his chair falls over): Sorry. I need to run. Something urgent. In my basement. Forgot to check… (Logan runs out of the room.)
Cynthia (pouting): Oh come on, Logan. Don’t be such a scaredy cat! I don’t bite. (Cynthia breaks out in high laughter.) Okay, so maybe I do. But you’ll love it, Logan! Trust me! Logan! Come back here! (Cynthia runs out of room after Logan.)
Josh: Man, they’re dropping like flies.
Marissa: Josh, you know I’m sure we could have our own story. Without Beth or any of those pesky vampires in it at all.
Guillermo: Who are you calling a pesky vampire?
Marissa: Nothing personal, G. It’s just that, well, Josh and I have a connection that I’m sure needs to be explored. (Marissa puts her hand on Josh’s thigh under the table.)
Josh (blushing): No Beth?
Marissa: No Beth. Just you. And me. And maybe that hotel room with the sunken tub that Cynthia mentioned…
Josh (stands up, grabs Marissa’s hand and turns to those still at the table): Sorry fellas. We’re out of here. (Josh and Marissa leave the room.)
(Guillermo, Ben and Carl look around the table at each other.)
Ben: I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t want any romantic trash written about the three of us.
Guillermo: I hear ya.
Carl: I’m with you on that, brother.
(Silence)
Guillermo: So, who’s up for some poker??
Carl and Ben (at once): Sounds great!
Guillermo: Then let’s go! I’ve got a great corner in the morgue where no one will bother us. (They all stand up and head for the door.)
Carl: Sorry, MLC. Some other time.
Ben: Yeah, some other time. (To Carl): Did he say we’re going to the morgue?
Lights out.
That's fabulous! 
-- you've managed to capture the essence of these wonderul, compelling characters. 
Aw, shucks.
