episode 3 (4/9) [FanFic]

[Joseph Morreale]

Once Toni had sorted everyone out and had them where they were supposed
to be, she took a moment to relax. She
glanced over to the front doors and noticed Madoka from the KOR Universe come
inside. She gingerly approached the front desk and asked, "Excuse me, is
Michael Jones in at the moment?"
"Who, Mike? Sure he's around here somewhere. What do you need with
him?"
Madoka shuffled her feet nervously. "I just need to talk with him about
something."
Toni gave her a quizzical look. "About what?" she said. Then her face
lighted up with shock. "No! Nonononononono! It couldn't be!"
"I'm sorry, Miss?" Madoka said with a slightly
embarassed voice.
"Madoka!" Mike's voice called from down a hall. Moments later, the
brawny nurse hopped up to the desk with a worried look in his eyes. "What are
you doing here?"
"I just wanted to tell you-" she began, but Toni
interrupted her.
"I can't believe it! You're dating her?! She's an Anime,Mike! How could
you!" She had risen from her chair and had
propped both her fists on the desk.
"Oh! Toni!" Mike said guiltilly. "Um, well. You see..."
"Mike, you traitor! I thought you hated Animes as much as we all did."
Suddenly Heather walked up. "What's this?"
"This is Mike's date." Toni said with a hiss. By now,Madoka looked
about ready to cry.
Heather laughed. "You're kidding, right? Mike hates Animes." She looked
at everyone, and her voice lost its humor. "You are kidding, right? Ohhh, my
gosh. Oh, I gotta tell the other nurses about this!"
"Nurse Farley! No!" Mike said, but Heather had already run off. Before
he could chase after her, though, he was
distracted by a whimper from Madoka.
"Is this true, Michael? Do you hate Animes?"
Mike looked nervously from Toni to Madoka, and appeared to be getting
troubled by the excitement developing down the hall as Heather spread the news.
"Uh, well. Erm, I- uh-"
Fortunately, before Mike had to answer the question, the wall next to
him exploded.
