As soon as Karin walked through the door, she
yelled out to her girlfriend, “Honey, I’m home!”
“Hi sweetie, how was your day?” Denise came
out of the kitchen and gave her girlfriend a hug and kiss.
“Same shit, different diaper. I was so busy
doing everyone else’s work I wasn’t able to get my own done.”
“Still? Have you tried talking to your
supervisor about it?”
“She’s the one making me do all this work,
but that’s enough about my job. How was your day?”
“It was great. I signed three new accounts
today.”
“That’s wonderful, Denise. This calls for a
celebration.” Karin cried excitedly.
“What did you have in mind?” She asked as she
snuggled up to Karin on the couch.
“How about dinner and a movie or we can go
out dancing, whatever you want.”
“It’s only five o’clock, plenty of time to
throw a party together and invite everybody.”
“Why would you want to throw a party on such
short notice? It’ll be hard to get people to come.” Karin replied a little
confused.
“First, it’s Friday night.”
“That’s my point. Everybody probably has
already made plans.”
“That’s tonight???” Karin asked, excitement
creeping into her voice.
“Yep, we could have a premier party.”
“Let’s do it! I’ll go get munchies and some
finger food, you call everyone.” Karin grabbed her car keys and ran out the
door as Denise starting making phone calls.
“Hey, Jayson, it’s Denise. What are you guys
doing tonight?”
“Tommy and Andy are coming over to watch the
season premier of Dante’s Cove.”
“You’re plans just changed. You’re coming
over here for our premier party.”
“Cool. What time?”
“Any time you want to come over. Can you call
Tommy and Andy for me?”
“Sure. Anyone else you want me to call?”
“Can you also call Kim and Bryan? Karin will
be back shortly with all the supplies and I need to help her get everything set
up.”
“Sure, no problem, see you soon.” He hung up.
“KYLE!”
“What Jay?” Kyle came out of the bedroom,
fresh from a shower, drying his hair.
“Change of plans. Everyone is invited to a
Dante’s Cove season premier party at Denise and Karin’s.”
“And the reason we haven’t left yet is?”
“I need to take a shower. Can you call Tommy
and Andy and Kim and Bryan and let them know they’re invited as well?”
“Sure, after I help you with your shower.”
Kyle replied as he followed Jay into the master bathroom.
“Ah, no, we’ll never get there in time. Go
make the calls while I take a quick shower.”
“At least let me watch.” He begged.
“Out!” Jay gave him a playful shove towards
the living room.
As everyone got comfortable around the Denise
and Karin’s spacious living room, plates full of food and drinks in hand, the
conversation turned to a recap of the last season and speculation as to what
the new season would bring.
“Poor Kevin and Toby” Kim started the
conversation. “They just can’t seem to get it together, can they?”
“I can’t help but wonder if it’s like Adam
said when they were under the influence of that love charm. Perhaps he and Toby
are supposed to be together. After all, who was the first person by his side
when Adam was going through saint withdrawal? Toby” Tommy replied.
“What about Kevin? Does that mean that he’s
supposed to be with Ambrosius? That’s just wrong.”
“Not any more wrong than Marco and Kai
getting together.” Kyle responded.
“But they’re minor characters. The whole
series started around Kevin and Toby. Besides, Kai is a pig. I can’t see Marco
staying with him.
“Here’s something to chew on” Bryan piped up.
“Ambrosius is pure evil. How’s that going to affect Kevin? Does that mean he’s
going to turn evil?”
Karin shuddered visibly. “I don’t even want
to think about that. One thing I’m curious about. According to Diana, Ambrosius
was supposed to get the Libra power at the solstice in order to restore balance
to Tresum…”
“Or not” Jay interrupted, imitating one of
the show’s characters.
“The thing is he didn’t get the power. Van
did. What’s that all about?”
“Is she a good witch or a bad witch?” Andy
interjected with a quote from The Wizard of Oz doing his best Judy Garland
imitation.
“She’s Grace’s aspirant, so it could go either
way.”
“Was it me, or did Grace mellow towards the
end?” Jay asked.
“No, she definitely mellowed. She was crying
when she returned the moon to its original color.”
“Ok, it’s starting. Everyone shut up” Denise
commanded as the show started.
“Man, I feel so bad for Adam. He’s so in love
with Toby he can’t see straight, and Toby doesn’t seem the least bit
interested.” Remarked Kim after the show was over and everyone was helping
clean up.
“I know what that feels like.” Tommy replied.
“During my junior and senior years in high school I had the biggest crush on a
guy who wasn’t the least bit interested in me.”
“Really” Andy asked. “Who was that?”
“Nobody you know. He ended up enlisting in
the military and was killed overseas during the Persian Gulf War.
“Oh, God, baby. I had no idea. I’m so sorry.”
“It’s okay. I ended up with the man of my
dreams.”
“Just like Toby is the man of Adam’s dreams.
Now that Kevin is with Bro that leaves the door wide open for Toby and Adam to
get together. I think they’d make a great couple.” Bryan commented.
“Did you see the look on Adam’s face when he
was rubbing Toby’s shoulders and Toby remarked how glad he was to be done with
the ‘whole couples thing’? He was really hurt.” Denise said.
“I’d like to know what’s up with Grace.” Kyle
chimed in. “One minute she’s a cast-iron bitch, the next minute she’s as sweet
as can be. Look at her reaction over Van’s death. Plus, I think deep down she’s
got the hots for Griff. When she first arrived back at the island, was that
saint in her hair?”
“Looked like it. I loved it when she walked
in on Brit and Elena.”
“And when did Kevin become magical and be
able to read the Sun book? How did that come about?”
“Either something happened to him during the
Libra solstice, or Bro’s been teaching him. Apparently Tresum is something
anyone can learn.”
“There’s one thing about Tresum that confuses
me.” Jay joined in the conversation. “During one of last season’s episodes, Van
told Toby that female energy comes from the moon and water, and male energy
comes from the sun and fire. How was it that Griff was able to use both
energies to take Diana’s power away from her?”
“It must have something to do with Griff
being a representative of the Tresum Council.”
“I’d like to know why Michelle attacked Marco
on the beach. Did you see her eyes? They reminded me of Corey’s eyes when
Ambrosius first enslaved him in the season one finale.”
“You think she’s possessed by Grace or Bro?”
“No. Remember she told Toby that she didn’t
want to be anywhere near either one of them.”
“Then who, Griff?
“I don’t know. I guess we’ll have to wait for
the next episode.”
“That new guy, Trevor, I’ve seen him
somewhere before, but I can’t figure out where.” Denise said, puzzled.
“That’s Reichen Lehmkuhl. He and his boyfriend
won the Amazing Race a few years ago.
“You’re right. I remember now. I didn’t know
he was an actor.”
“Maybe not then, but he is now.”
“Well, I know what I’m doing this weekend
while Jay’s working.” Kyle said.
“What’s that?” Andy asked.
“I’m going to re-watch all of seasons one and
two. Anyone who wants to come over and watch them with me is welcome.”
“How are you going to do that?” Karin asked.
“I have them on DVD.”
“Wow! Where did you find them? I’ve been
looking everywhere for them.” Denise asked, excited.
“I ordered them from amazon-dot-com. They
come in a boxed set with the un-aired original pilot. ”
“Awesome. I’ll order it tomorrow.”
“I hate to be a buzz kill, but I have to work
this weekend, so I need to get going. It’s almost midnight.” Jay said,
reluctantly.
“I think we should all call it a night.” Andy
said, getting up. “Denise, Karin thank you guys for having us over. I had a
great time.”
Jay, Kyle, Tommy, Bryan and Kim all expressed
similar sentiments as they all hugged their hosts before departing for their
various homes.
