E and Stella are walking on their way to elevators together. Elvis: You know, when I was getting up on my way here, there was a crazy guy dancing at the elevator. He danced through the whole time. I got little scared. Stella giggles and says: Dont worry. he wasnt crazy or anything like that. Dancing just keeps the elevator working. Elvis looks at her long and says: Dancing keeps elevator working? Stella: Thats what I said. Elvis: Ok. *Whew* Im glad that there was a reason for the jumping and tumping bellboy who told something about chorusgirls while the elevator was getting up. Stella giggles again, and smiles at him when the elevatordoor opens. She grins. Stella: Do you know enough now? I dont want you to get scared anymore. Elvis: With you I can do anything, even go to a dance-elevator. Stella: Wonderful, lets go!
While they are at the elevator with the dancing bellboy, Stella starts tapping her feet to the floor and spinning around. Elvis isnt much dancer himself, but he sings to make the ride shorter, and smiles at Stell who dances so joyfully. "The way she moves her hips to her fingertips I feel I'm heaven bound And when she starts to sway, I've gotta say She really move the grass around....." Suddenly every one in the elevator are wishing that the ride wouldnt never stop, including the bellboy. It has been such a long time since he had a chance to dance with live-music. When they get to the lobby everyone are staring them, but E and Stella just smile and leave the building. Elvis: Well, that was first show I did at the elevator. They both laugh.
Meanwhile Gary and Theresa are on their way to ballroom. Gary has rented black glorious Rolls Royce, and he sits at the backseat with Theresa, who cant stop looking the wonderful, luxourious car. But she loves to look wonderful man next to her, too. Even more than the car. Theresa: I cant believe you rented a Royce! It must cost a fortune! Gary: It wasnt that much. And it doesnt make any difference. Your joy brings makes it all worth it. Theresa smiles at the most beautiful way she can, and feels such warmness and joy. She just hopes that she isnt dreaming right now. Because this is too good to be true. Gary and Theresa arrive to the ballroom, and Gary helps Theresa out from the car. They smile at eachother, and look the street full of classical-looking people with ladies in ther eveningdresses and gentlemen with their tuxedos. Theresa sighs with happiness when she takes Gary's hand and lets him to lead him to the big ballroom-doors, which are opened by two doormen who look Theresa with friendly smile. She feels like she had found the heaven on earth.
When Stella and E get to the street, they find wonderful golden Cadillac in front of the hotel. Stella: Oh...my...god! A Cadillac! How can you afford Cadillac?! Elvis: I dont want to burst your bubble or anything, but I borrowed it from a friend. At this time I wanted to give a classy ride for such princess as you. Stella becomes as red as box of tomatoes, but smiles. Stella: Ok, my prince charming, ready to go? Elvis opens the door and smiles: Yes miss! Stell smiles back and lets E to help her in the car. When she sits to the big comfy fronseat, she almost believes that she's the princess of the wonderful picturebooks she used to have when she was a little girl. She had a glorious way to get herself to the night of her dreams, with prince Charming and a golden Cadillac. Stella looks her prince next to her and thinks: "I just wish that Theresa is having the time of her life as well."

When Elvis and Stella get to the club Rouge where he was doing his show that day, she stares at the place, stunned. It was small club. REALLY small one. Well, you shouldnt judge book by cover or a club by size. So she doesnt say anything, just smiles and lets E escort her inside. Stella stuns even more when he says that he cant come more forth, he has to go to his dressingroom. He asks one of the doormen to escort her. Elvis: Im sorry baby, but I cant come there. You'll understand when you get there. Stella is about to say something, but she kinda forgets it when E kisses her on the cheek again and says "see ya then." She lets a short doorman to escort her to the stagehall, where Elvis will do his show. On the way down there she asks from the doorman: "How come he cant come here?" Doorman just smiles and says: "I guess he wants to stay in one piece." Stella suddenly understands what they meant when they finally get there. The whole place is full of girls her age, and older too. Just girls, and couple of boys, that look like they have been dragged there. Lots of beautiful, charming girls with short dresses and lots of makeup. Stella suddenly feels herself meaningles, ugly and ashamed. Why she had to come here? Was E just teasing her? How E's gonna see her from all these girls anyway? Luckily she has the doorman with her. He pushes his way through girls, who look Stella like she'd be a poisonsnake. Then a guy with a microphone and annoying voice jumps on stage. He doesnt speak any english, just reallyquickandverymisunderstandablefrench, that Stella cant even hear well. But then she hears two most important words: Elvis Presley. All the girls start screaming their heads off, crying and cheering like loonys when E comes to stage with his cute little boy's smile, guitar on his hands. He gets to the microphone, says good evening and starts to sing. Stella cant hear almost anything from the screaming, but it doesnt matter. The only thing that means right now is E and the way he moves onstage. He has the most uncredible stagemoving Stell's ever seen. He moves his hips, moves his legs, moves his arms, his whole body moves in the wondeful, streaminly hot, exchausting magic of music. He jokes, forgets words, laughs, and makes Stell laugh with him. Her laugh is so mugh lighter and happier when he's there. She doesnt scream, she doesnt do anything else than look at him with big, shiny eyes. When E notices her in the middle of his second song he gets near the edge of the stage on his knees and looks at her straight to the eyes. All the girls are screaming and reaching hands to touch E, but for couple of seconds they dont see anything but each other, like they could tell each other how they feel without words. But then magic is off, its cutten of by another girl, dark and skinny, who pulls E's hand and screams so much that Stell thinks shes going to be deaf in end of the evening. But she isnt angry when E has to go on with his show. She cant be angry to anyone. She just looks at E, looks, looks and looks, but cant get enough from that handsome, beutifully-singing man, who makes her heart thumping and eyes shine. Everything is beautiful as long he is there. The last song is called Cant help falling in love. Thats the only one she hears, because the crowd goes completely silent. The crazy screaming girls go grave-silent, they love that song that much. E has captured the whole aurience. He's sweaty, he's exchausted, but still he sings so beautifully that it makes Stella shutters. Finally he gets to the last parts of the song: Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes Some things are meant to be Take my hand, take my whole life too For I cant help falling in love with you(Guess who loves this song, hehe? ) Then the most amazing thing happens. E leaves microphone, comes straight to Stella, leans down, takes her face in his hands and kisses her. She falls to warmness of the kiss, somewhere that nobody cant throw them apart. They dont hear screaming, they dont see anything but eachother. When E finally lets her face of his hands, she feels so gold and warm at the same time. Elvis finishes the show and leaves from the stage with huge cheers and screamings. But when they are letting the curtain down, she realizes something. "Oh my god, Im in love." Stella knows she has known E just a minute, and she knows how crazy and stupid it is. She knows it all. But she doesnt care. She has fallen in love, completely and wholeheartly. And thats the most amazing thing of all: She loves.

gary takes her across the dance floor and spins her around, twirling her dress, which is brushing up against his suit.
theresa: evening dress becomes you
gary: me?*he chuckles*
theresa: oh yes*she giggles*
gary starts singing the song as it is being played in his low and soft voice with her in his arms.
theresa:you know this song?
gary:*blushing* yep
theresa giggles and slowly leans her head against his chest.
gary:*looks down at her head and smiles.* you...uh....you... have pretty curls
theresa: what?*smiling*
gary: you..*gulps* have pretty curls.
he takes one and twirls it with his finger and stares into her eyes. the end of the song is approaching and as the last note plays he brings her into a dip on the dance floor and they slowly come closer to each other for a kiss.
theresa:uh...i...i am getting tired
gary: oh, ill take you home now then.
theresa: yes, thank you
he goes to get their coats as she just stands there trying to breathe.(like i would! id probably fall over from suffucation heehee!)
as he puts the coat sleeve through her arm they look at each other, but theresa looks away slowly, and smiles.

After the concert Stella waits E at the outside of the club. The evening is getting colder and all the other girls are leaving. She leans agains the wall and breaths cool night air. What was she even thinking? Maybe she has been eating something weird, the french food wasnt good for her. Or maybe the romantic-Paris-idea had her over her heels? She would get over it for sure. But she liked E, he was a good guy, So maybe she could just enjoy herself and worry later....Yeah, that was it. When E finally came for me club, he smiled at her and took her hand. Elvis: Sorry to keep you waiting. I had to sneak from the other door because some of the girls in the audience got in and I didnt want to get ripped to pieces. Stella gigled, but then came really quiet. Listen to yourself. You sound like a silly little girl. This guy has a bunch of takers anyway, he wont need you. Elvis: Shall we go to the fair? The mood gets better at the nights when the families leave. There isnt too much lines. Stella nodded and smiled a little. Maybe she still could have fun at the fair? She could worry later, she was at Paris. She just hoped that she shouldnt to worry too much afterwards.
When Stella and Elvis where driving down the nightstreets Theresa and mr.Gary where sitting at the backseat of their luxourious car. Gary: What are you thinking right now, Theresa? You are so quiet. Theresa: Wha...Sorry. I was just wondering that what Stella has been doing with that Elvis-guy. She is such a silly kid, I just hope she wont get herself to trouble. Gary: Im sure she doesnt. She is a wise young lady. Theresa: When you say it like that you dont know her that well... But they wont remember the subject for awhile, they start talking about the evening and almost everything else too. Theresa suddenly starts to hope that the car ride wouldnt never end.
It does, eventually. Gary helps Theresa out of the car and she is ready to say goodnight when everything just stops. Neither of them cant say anything. Theresa remembers what almost happened at the ballroom and she blushes. Gary: You look so lovely when you blush. Theresa: Im not blushing, I....change color. *Gary chuckles and smiles.* Gary: You look even lovelier when you are changing color. Then they both froze again and look at eachothers eyes, completely still , ever so quiet. They both lean little forward. But then the magic brokens and Theresa blushes again. Theresa: Well, good night Gary. I had a magical evening, thank you so much. Gary: Good night, the pleasure was all mine. Uhm, I had terrific time. Theresa is already leaving, when she hears Gary's voice. Gary: Theresa...

elvis and stella arrive at the fair and she looks to him excitedly.
elvis: come on, well have fun
stella takes his hand as he shuts the car door behind her.
stella: oh look!!
elvis: what is it?
stella: i love carousels!
elvis: well we most certainly cant miss this then
stella: are you sure that you want to go on it?
elvis: as long as you are with me
stella giggles and holds his hand tighter.
they walk onto the big and colorful carousel with beautiful horses and seats for more than just one or two people.
elvis: here, get on this one, it reminds me of you
stella: okay
she throws her leg over the purple horse grabbing the shining gold pole going through the middle of it to pull herself up, but elvis supports her by gently lifting her up higher to get on, before she can herself.
the music begins and so does the magic in their eyes as the carousel turns slowly with elivs standing next to her on that horse. their eyes never leave one another and elvis all the sudden starts singing to the music playing on the carousel.
theresa:*turning around looking confused and hoping he doesnt do anything serious, because she knows she loves him* yes?
gary:i...well i just wanted to say.....
theresa: yes?*as he moves closer to her*
gary says nothing and kisses her like there is no tomorrow
theresa:...................*pushes him away with wide eyes*........why did you do that?
gary: because i love you
theresa: you love me?*her eyes fill with tears and she turns away*
gary: yes, very much, why are you crying?
theresa: im not crying*with tears rolling down her cheek*
gary:whats wrong?*he grabs her arm turning her toward him again*
theresa: nothing
gary: yes there is...tell me!
theresa:i love you too
gary:*he smiles*well then...whats wrong with that?
theresa:everything!
gary just stands there looking into her eyes wondering
theresa:i do love you gary, but i have to go home sooner or later

After singing some time E sits behind Stella and puts his arms around her waist. Stella starts to feel dizzy like their horse would have jump away from the carousel and rise to the nightsky, middle of the stars and straight to the moon. She leaned against E's jacket and felt safe and warm. Nothing couldnt harm her now. But then something came to her mind, that made her stomach go upside down. They were leaving soon back home. What did it matter what did she felt? She would be back in Finland soon, and all the girls of Paris could keep Elvis themselves. He would forget her in no time. She started to feel really sick, luckily the carousel stopped.
But she started to feel even worser when Elvis wanted to make their fairvisit really special. She played happy and cheerful althrough she felt emptyness she havent never felt. But she didnt want to ruin anything, so she tried to enjoy herself. And it was fun, mostly. They threw empty milkbottles with baseballs, took a ride at bumbercars, ate candyfloss (Stella got most of them straight to her face, making her cheecks sticky) and went to the "circle of Paris," where you you could you see almost whole city. The night was getting colder, and Elvis offered his shoulder to lean on that they could keep warm. Stella didnt want to: Mostly because she didnt want to get even more keen to him than she already was. Everything would end before she know it. But some kind of macigpower layed Stella's head to Elvis' shoulder and they watched silently the night of Paris. Niether of them says a word but E squeezed Stella's shoulder tenderly and kept her safe. She didnt want to feel it. She didnt want to feel anything. Soon everything would be over.... When they were at the ground again, Stella didnt want to look E to eyes. She didnt want to see him. She just wanted to get away. Get anywhere. Stella: Could you drop me back to the hotel, Elvis? Its getting late and Im tired. That was a lie, Stella has always been a night-owl. But who cares did she lie or not? Anything didnt matter anymore.
Theresa looked Gary straight to the eyes and blinked after blink, trying not to cry. Theresa: Im so sorry Gary, but I...I....have to go. Then she turned around and walked straight indoors, almost ran. Gary left behind, calling her. Gary: Theresa, wait! Theresa, please wait! Theresa didnt even listen what Gary said, because she was too busy covering her tears and drying her cheeks.
Theresa didnt use the elevator when she got to the lobby, she ran straight to the stairs. She didnt want to see the dance-elevator. Not now. And she didnt want the bellboy to see her crying. She ran all the way to their room and even before she got door shut, she was crying her eyes out, tears running down her face. She shook like in a fever tryinh to herself quiet without success. She just leaned against their door and cried. Theresa: How everything so beautiful changed so horrible so fast?

theresa ran to the bed and burried her head into her pillow crying good and long and then stella walked in crying. she sees theresa unhappy and rushes over to her.
stella: why are you crying?*wiping away ones of her own tears*
theresa: *sits up*why are you crying?
stella: i asked you first!
theresa: this is no time to be getting into an argument
stella: oh i know, i guess im just upset
theresa: join the club! this is so unfair!
stella: what is?
theresa: just as i finally fall in love with the most wonderful guy in the whole world, i realize that we cant be together
stella: i have the same problem, it is unfair!
they fall into each other and cry on each other's shoulder for a while, but then they hear the doorbell ring
stella:*drying off her fae* who could that be?
theresa: im afraid to find out, i hope it is not who i think it is
theresa goes to look in the tiny hole at the top of the door
theresa: it is!! both of them!!
stella: both of them?! oh no! they cant see us like this.
theresa:*shouting* just a minute!
stella: come on, lets rince our faces first
theresa: alright
they rince all the tears off their faces and dry them, then stella walks to the door, but hesitates to open it.
theresa: why did you stop?
stella: because i cant see him again, it just makes it even harder
theresa: well it is exactly a joyride for me either right now, but they are already here, so just open the door
stella: alright*she slowly unlocks the door and opens it putting on a big smile, but doesnt really feel like smiling at the moment*
elvis: stella!
stella: hello!
gary: is miss theresa here?
stella: yeah, over there
elvis: i got the feeling earlier that you werent tired, but that something was bothering you
stella: uh.....*trying to put a straight face on, pretending nothing is wrong* why would you say that?
elvis: because when i looked into your eyes i saw something.
stella: you did?
elvis: yes i saw sadness.
stella: oh elvis!
he clutches her close to his body tightly kissing her, with tears still streaming down her face
stella: we cant be together!
elvis: what do you mean? of course we can!
theresa: hello gary, i thou-
gary: wait a minute
theresa: what?
gary: why did you run away from me tonight?*grabbing her arm gently and pulling her close to him*
theresa:because...um...beca--
gary:i love you! i thought you loved me too!
theresa: you arent making this easy*as a tear rolls down her cheeks*
gary:making what not easy
theresa:...this cant be real, it has to be a dream---
before she can say anything else, he kisses her passionately
gary: are you telling me that is a dream, that it isnt real??
theresa:well....*staring up into his big blue eyes*
gary: of course it is real, it is as real as you being right here in my arms, and nothing can tear us apart!
she falls onto his chest crying intensely, and he sits down ont the couch while stroking her hair, trying to calm he down.

Stella: No we cant!*starts to cry harder* Elvis: What do you mean we cant? I thought you love me. At least I love you. Its true. Whats the problem with that? Stella didnt even notice what did he say, just walks around screaming and crying. Stella: But E, thats the whole problem! I cant love you! I must get to home soon. I have to start my school at a month...My whole life is at home, I just cant....No, I cant even think about it! Its insanity, its stupid, I cant even think that seriously! Elvis looks at her sadly. Elvis: I still cant understand. What else do we need? Stella: I just cant do this. Im so sorry. We just must forget the whole thing. You have pretty french girls here and your career....We'll get over this, with time. She stops in the middle of the room, rocking herself like a baby. E walks behind her and puts his arms around her tenderly. She doesnt push him away. Elvis: There is one problem at your plan. Stella: And whats that? Elvis: I still love you. *She sighs* Stella: Ok, I love you too....Unfortunately. But what about my family? Or Theresa? I cant just walk away with you and leave everything I have there! Elvis: We'll go meet them if you want. We can go away if you want. We can do anything we want, Stella and you know that. Stella: *sigh* I know. And thats what hurts the most. I dont KNOW what we should DO!
Theresa: It isnt that simple Gary, it just isn't..... Gary: I love you. Whats more simple than that? Theresa: *tears start running her cheeks* Please dont say that. Gary: I love you. Theresa: Gary dont....*starts to cry hard* Gary: I love you, I love you, I love you Theresa, no matter what you'll say. Theresa: But that part is so horrible Gary! Because I love you too! Its horrible! Gary: I cant understand Theresa *takes her face to his hands* You just said that you love me. And thats wonderful. Theresa: It isnt, it makes everything even worser. *wipes her eyes* Gary: But why? Theresa: Because we are soon leaving home. Our vacation is almost over. I just cant leave Stella and everything and just go. Oh god, it sounds even worser when I say it out loud....*starts to cry again* Gary: Please dont cry, darling. Im sure we'll think of something. Theresa: Im trying but...I cant stop. Gary: Come here. *He takes Theresa to his arms and holds her close. Theresa closes her eyes and lets herself cry.*
