It is a bright, Autumn morning. The camera opens on a sumptuous boudoir setting where Justice is seen happily typing away at her laptop. The gossamyr drapes are pulled open and warm sunlight is flooding in. Softly in the distance, a shower can be heard.
My, my. That little girl is such a fan. "Yes, we shall meet for ice cream very soon. Love, Justice."
A few moments later, a cel phone rings on the nightstand beside Justice. She glances over at the screen to see who is calling and nearly squeals with glee when she recognizes the number.
Baby girl! It seems like it has been forever! How are things over in that little federation of yours? Does your hair still look like you poured it out of a cereal box?
Justice listens intently for a moment, then bursts out laughing.
Well, mate. If you really did not want friendly jabs about your hair, you would let it grow out. Besides, you know that from me it is merely playful ribbing.
Justice looks around mischeviously for a moment. Her face becomes serious.
Actually, mate. It is very fortuitous of you to call at this exact moment. Z is off in the shower and I need to discuss some... personal issues with you.
A moment of silence.
I am worried about Z and myself. The... uh.... spark.... is fading. The other week, I showed off for him to distract him from the fact that Sensational Mary has come back into our lives and nothing! Well, that is not entirely fair, he did eventually come around, but still......
Another moment of silence.
Oh! I am giving the wrong impression. It is not him that has the problem, it is me! Z is just as wonderful as he ever was, if not moreso since he opened GZWA. His reaction that day can totally be attributed to his concern over Mary's plotting. It is myself that I am concerned with! When I opened my shirt for him, I felt nothing! I only did it because I knew it was the right thing to do at the time, not because I wanted to do it!
Lately, my performance has been lackluster and I am too painfully aware of it. Z has been more than gracious enough to not mention it, but I can see it in his eyes.
Unnoticed by Justice, the shower has stopped and ZX is standing by the open bedroom door, dripping wet, wearing nothing more than a white towel. He is listening with great interest to what Justice has to say but has neglected to tell him directly.
I just do not feel like myself anymore. I do not understand this. I only hope I can find an answer soon.
Justice listens intently to her friend. She becomes sad as she is told truths that she really didn't want to hear.
Baby girl, this is all I have ever wanted. A wonderful bloke who loves and understands me....... Just because I am not a practiced homemaker does not mean..... I know I can be an excellent wife and mother!.......... Yes, I have a sneaking suspicion that you are correct. But what does that mean for my relationship?
Justice listens obediently. As she listens, a chesire cat grin starts to creep across Justice's face.
That we did. It is decided then. If the Undertaker is to busy to notice me, I shall take the opportunity this week to force him to notice me. Ooohhh, you must be right, baby girl. I suddenly have this urge to take a shower.....
Justice bursts out laughing.
By-the-by, on the subject of "clandestine meetings", Z has an extremely interesting proposal for you. He would like to meet you at your earliest convenience to discuss this notion.
Another Pause.
Oh no. You are just going to have to wait until your meeting to find that out..... Of course I do. You should know better than to think I would let the cat out of the bag. Expecially for something this good..... Alright, for lunch? At St. Marks? I will make certain that his schedule is clear...... Alright baby girl. You take good care of those blokes you have working for you. I am almost jealous myself whenever I watch your show on the tele. Just remember, you cannot sexaually harass the willing!
Justice hangs up the phone with a huge smile on her face. ZX hold on tight to his towel and cartoonishly tries to sneak back into the shower. Justice hops out of bed and heads towards the bathroom herself. On her way, she shouts:
Hey mate! I know what we are going to do today!
