Megg: And if we can't find him...can't this thing take us to Montana just as well?
Kim: *shrugs* I dunno...Remember, it didn't come with instructions!
Megg: Well, we'll just goog-- *stops mid-sentence* We better figure this thing out fast then. *Her eyes get all wide and she bites at her nails* WE CAN'T GOOGLE ANYTHING!!! *takes out a piece of lint and rubs it between her fingers*
Kim: *shakes her head and goes to change*
Megg: *lays on her bed a little while looking around the room* What a strange feeling....being in the past...an oddly "fresh" feeling....like life is beginning all over again...
*She continues looking around...no computers...no cell phone towers...no Starbucks on every possible corner...there's not even a TV in the room...She lays back and enjoys the quiet...Until Kim comes out*
Kim: Come on...get ready! We gotta go find Gary!
Megg: *lays there a few more minutes...and Kim shakes her*
Kim: GO! GO! GO!
Megg: *shoos Kim away and goes to change. She's out in a flash, excited about going to find Dean*
Kim: Where do we start?
Megg: Your guess is as good as mine...
Kim: Well, where did we see Dean last? Maybe we can start there?
Megg: He walked past that shop...
Kim: Well...let's go..maybe there are some clubs or something around there...
*They grab their things and head downtown by way of taxi. They get out after the short trip and look around that vicinity*
Megg: He was standing right here...talking to that guy...and that's when we lost him...
Kim: *looks across the street* Maybe he went in that restaurant across the street?
Megg: *shrugs* Couldn't hurt to check...but...do we come back the same time we left? Does time pass?
*the two look at each other, clueless*
Kim: Well, as you said...it can't hurt to try..
Megg: And he's not famous...so they won't think we're crazy if we ask for him...
Kim: They won't know who he is!
Megg: Well...don't lose heart...we'll find our men!

*The two head over to the little shop and stand awkwardly in the midst of the crowd*
*Kim begins to hum "standing on the corner" and Megg bursts out laughing*
Megg: I was JUST about to sing that, too!
Kim: Megg...when have we ever NOT thought the same?
Megg: ...Wow, yeah.
*Kim chuckles and continues to stand, on the look out for Dean*
Megg: *Goes to sit on the curb but Kim shrieks*
Kim: No!
Megg: What?
Kim: You can't sit on the dirty ground wearing that!
Megg: Wearing what?
Kim: That outfit!
Megg: Oh, this old thing, *chuckles mockingly* I just threw this old thing on. *Huffs at her nails*
Kim: *Grabs Megg's arms and picks her up* Come on, we're not going to find him standing here...
Megg: Then where are we gonna look!
*Kim digs in her pocket*
Megg: *Laughs* You didn't map-quest Dean Martin's house, did you?
Kim: *Scoffs* No...
*Silence*
Kim: I googled it.
Megg: I should have KNOWN!
Kim: Come on, let's go!

Megg: *grabs the googled map from Kim's hand* Do you think this is wise?
Kim: What?
Megg: We don't know him...he doesn't know us...and we're just going to show up at his house...There's something wrong with that...
Kim: *shrugs*
Megg: Does jail time really sound that fun to you?
Kim: If things get too tense we'll just go back to 2007...Now come on!
Megg: I don't have a good feeling about this!
Kim: This isn't like you to turn down an adventure like this...
Megg: Because...there are serious consequences and I'm not sure I wanna take them anymore...
Kim: Oh, quit being such a scaredy cat and let's do this little thing here!
*Megg follows Kim, feeling sick*
*They get to the house and stand on the sidewalk in front of it*
Megg: Maybe we should just hide out until he leaves or something?
Kim: And then follow his car on foot?! What's wrong with your head?!
Megg: At least mine's on straight!
Kim: You're the one who wanted to find Dean weren't you?
Megg: Yeah, but I didn't say I wanted to risk jail time for this...
Kim: Well...We'll have to...make something up for when we knock on the door...
Megg: *searches her purse and comes out with a five dollar bill* We can tell him we saw him drop this and just wanted to return it to him...
Kim: Sounds like a plan...not a good plan...but it's better than no plan...
Megg: *rolls her eyes* Well, then you come up with something better!
Kim: *hem's and haw's around*
Megg: That's what I thought! *She takes the bill in her hand and walks up to the door and knocks*
*Betty answers*
Megg: Yes...is Mr. Martin and home?
Betty: No...he isn't...
Megg: Do you know when he'll return?
Betty: Oh...I'm not sure Miss...if you give me your name I'll tell him you came to visit...
Megg: Oh...well, I just needed to talk to him....that's okay....I can come back later...
Betty: Well, he's out with some friends right now...They usually go to The RioBamba about this time...Maybe you could catch him there...
Megg: *smiles at Betty* Thank you so much Mrs. Martin!
Betty: *smiles at Megg* No problem.
*They nod their goodbyes and Betty closes the door*
*Megg walks back to Kim*
Kim: Well?
Megg: Did you google Riobamba?

***RioBamba***
Manager: Hey Dino, come over here, will ya'?
*Dean comes running up, eager*
Dean: Yeah?
Manager: I think you've got something here...
Dean: Got something?
Manager: Yeah, with your singing and acting skills.
Dean: Oh?
Manager: Yeah, I've got this producer friend who is looking for a new actor in his movie; he's also got this crazy fella named Lewis who's just starting out in the business as well. Whaddya' say, will ya' meet with him this afternoon?
Dean: What do I say? Rich, this is the break I've been waiting for!
Rich: So you'll do it?
Dean: Well yeah!
Rich: Great, we'll send out fliers immediately for the contest.
Dean: Contest?
Rich: You need a leading lady, right?
Dean: *Smiles* Well yeah...
Rich: Well, this is how you'll get one.
Dean: All right, you're the boss!
Rich: *Pats Dean on the back* That's what I like to hear, Dino!
***Back with the girls***
Kim: You're kidding.
Megg: Go ask her yourself.
Kim: *Clears her throat, beginning to walk away* I don't speak with the wives.
Megg: Hey, that's my line
Kim: Yeah, well, we're bound to run into a few snags here and there...
*The girls walk back to the hotel depressed*
Kim: This isn't as fun as I thought it would be...
Megg: *Walks into the room and puts her coat down* What do you mean?
Kim: We don't know anyone...we don't know our way around, and we can't get our fellas!
*She sits down hard on the bed and takes a deep sigh*
Kim: Maybe this was all a mistake...
Megg: *Looks down, feeling the same way, then hears someone slip a note under the door. Megg perks and walks over, picking it up. She reads it and a big smile plays across her face*
Kim: *Looks up* What's so funny?
Megg: I have something that'll solve all our problems...
Kim: *Scoffs* And what's that?
Megg: *Hands Kim the sheet of paper*
Kim: *Reads it through and shrieks* Oh my gosh!
Megg: I know!
Kim: The chance to star as a leading role opposite Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin in Phil Ruckmeirs new production! One lucky gal will win the prize of starring in this new film and get the added bonus of behind the scenes access as well as spending an entire day with these two boys! To register, go to 12-- Blah, blah, blah--...PALLY!
Megg: I KNOW! Kim:*Grabs her coat* Let's go!
*The girls race out the door, keeping the sheet of paper firm-in-grasp*
*Kim, being the official guide-map to this little adventure, follows the instructions on the paper and comes to a large building*
Megg: *Looks up and clears her throat. She looks to Kim nervously, yet excitedly* Ready?
Kim: *Smiles* Yup!
*The girls walk into the building and walk up to one of the tellers*
Kim: Hi, I'd like to sign up for this contest.
*The woman grabs the sheet of paper and looks it over, then looks to the girls*
Teller: You have any acting experiences?
Kim: *Looks to Megg, and Megg to Kim, they both shrug* No...
Teller: Hold on.
*The teller walks into the back room and speaks with another woman; a woman who looks pretty important*
*The teller walks back and hands Kim a pen*
Teller: Fill this out over there *points to a couple chairs in the lobby* and then bring it back when you're finished.
*The girls excitedly walk over to the chairs and begin to fill out all the information*
Megg: I can't believe we're actually going to get to be in a movie with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis!
Kim: I know!
Megg: Do you think we'll get a big part?
Kim: Well, it does say "leading lady"
Megg: *Squeals* I'm going to be acting with Dean MARTIN!
Kim: *Looks to Megg*
Megg: What?
Kim: Megg...there's only room for one of us.
Megg: What?!
*Takes the sheet of paper from Kim and skims through*
Megg: Oh no...
Kim: What are we going to do?
Megg: We'll both have to register seperately...and...may the best girl win, I guess...
Kim: *Shakes her head* No, pally. I think you should register. I mean, you are in love with Dean.
Megg: So are you, though...
Kim: I know, but Megg, I still have to find Gary! *Sighs, smiles weakly* You take it.
Megg: I c--
Kim: *Smiles confidently* No, seriously, Megg...you take it. I'll be all right, really! I'm used to staying at home, *laughs*
Megg: *Looks to Kim, then to the paper* You sure?
Kim: I'm positive!
Megg: *Smiles* Thank you!

Megg: *Fills out the paper* Wait...you fill one out too...If either one of us wins, we'll just say the other one is our manager, then we'll both make out in the end!
Kim: You think it'll work?
Megg: No, because the woman at the desk already knows we don't have any acting experience, except maybe a school play or two...but anyone with money can buy a manager *gives Kim an evil smile*
Kim: How do you like that for the way of thinking?! *She goes and gets another application and fills it out.*
*The two of them turn them in*
Megg: and if it doesn't work...we'll just take the time machine and go back a few days, making it so we win...
Kim: That's unethical!
Megg: This isn't some non-profit organization looking for donors...this is REAL LIFE! Well...sorta...I guess it's still...It's sort of like a dre--...Yeah...It's real *nods*
Kim: No, I won't have it! We will win the contest by the rules...I'm not using this thing for evil!
Megg: EVIL!?! Dean Martin and Evil don't belong in the same sentence! Geez, you make it sound like we're going to kill kittens and kick old ladies!
Kim: WHAT are you talking about?!
Megg: Never mind....
Kim: *shrugs* Well, how about we go out and see who we can meet?
Megg: You mean Gary?
Kim: *flustered* No...NO...I don't mean Gary...I mean...normal people...non-famous ones...average joe's...
Megg: Who wants an average Joe when you can have Gary Cooper?!
Kim: You're getting Dean...Lay off a Gary!
Megg: I MAY get Dean...*shrugs* if that fails...I'll just go for Jerry...and if that doesn't work...We'll share Gary!
Kim: NO WAY! He's mine!
*The two walk along looking for some fun in the past*
Megg: You realize we can do WHATEVER we like and go back to the future and it'll be like nothing ever happened?!
Kim: NO! You are not leaving my sight! You are not getting me in trouble in 1946...NO!
Megg: How about 1950? Can I get you in trouble in 1950?
Kim: NO! *shakes head* NO NO NO! I knew this was a mistake...I should never have told her...

Megg: *Laughs* Just cool it, all right? I won't do anything...drastic.
Kim: You better not, or I'll sue!
Megg: With what?!
Kim: ...I'll sue you with your own money.
Megg: *Laughs* Smart, Kim.
Kim: I stole piggy, didn't I?--*Points to Megg* And I'll do it again!
*Later that night the girls are twiddling their thumbs, nearly going insane from not getting their CCH fix in almost a whole day*
Megg: I can't stand it, Kim...I'm gonna snap!
Kim: I know, pally. I can't believe these people lived without DVD's!
Megg: Well they weren't invented yet...so how can they miss something they've never known even existed?
Kim: *Nods* I guess you're right...maybe I should go back and grab the DVD player...
Megg: And hook it into what? The televisions don't have inputs...
Kim: No, I'll go grab our little tv and maybe the laptop!
Megg: *Hesitates* I don't think that'll work.
Kim: Why not?
Megg: I don't know, it just doesn't seem like it would be possible. Remember? We're dealing with history...
Kim: And traveling back to 1945 is more believable? We won't let this get out of hand...besides, it won't leave this room!
Megg: *Hesitates once more than gives in* All right, I'll wait here. You go get everything we'll need then maybe we can figure out how to find Gary.
*Kim grabs her coat and dashes out the door*
Kim: See ya' in a bit!
*Kim walks back to the time machine and gets in; it's hidden pretty well where only the girls know it's located, so no one will steal it.--no, ya' know what? This is our thread, it's not gonna get stolen because I said so!*
*She gets back to the apartment and grabs clothes, money, the CCH DVDs and the small television. She also grabs the laptop and piles it all into the machine. After she closes the door, she pauses for a minute, smiles slyly, then opens the door again and walks into her closet. She takes out the dress in the very back which is covered in a protecting mat.*
*She hurries back into the machine and presses "go" (lol)*
*Though as she goes to walk out, she realizes she can't simply walk down the street with all this junk without being questioned, so she leaves it all in the machine and walks over to a pay phone to call Megg*
Kim: Room 204, please. *Pauses* Hi, Megg? Yeah, I'm waiting in the alley and I need you to come pick me up. ...No, I have everything but I can't get it over to the hotel just by myself. What? I don't know, call a taxi. 10 minutes? Sure, I can wait. All right, talk later. Bye.
*She hangs up and walks back to the machine. Not wanting to seem obvious, she sits on the curb, a couple yards from machine, which is tucked away in the corner*
*She sees the taxi and makes sure Megg's inside. She grabs all her belongings and packs them into the car*
Megg: *Looks at the dry-cleaning mat* What's this?
Kim: *Smiles*
Megg: You didn't!
Kim: *Nods excitedly* I did!
Megg: Oh pally, did you get mine, too?!
Kim: Sure did. I got both of ours.
Megg: *Sits back and sighs* Pally, this is the best dream I've ever had...don't wake me, all right?
Kim: *Laughs* Don't wake me either, pally. This is too good to be true.
*The girls get to the hotel and walk out, carrying all their goods*
*They get up to the room and set everything down*
Megg: I'm gonna go try it on!
Kim: No! Wait, don't you think you should wait until you meet Dean for the first time? It is your lucky dress...maybe it'll bring you luck with the contest!
Megg: *Holds out the dress, looking over the dark brown covering* ...All right, good idea.
*Kim pulls out the laptop and googles "Gary Cooper location in 1945"*
Megg: Did you find anything? Kim: Almost...
Megg: I still can't believe you downloaded a celebrity tracker last week...you are such a stalker.
Kim: Pally, with our obsessive tendencies...we need one, and you know it. Besides, it helped us find Dean, didn't it?
Megg: *Sigh* Yeah, but Betty answered...I didn't even get to talk to Dean.
Kim: You will, Megg, don't worr--OH!
Megg: What? What?
Kim: Oh, nothing, nevermind...It says this information is unavailable.
Megg: You're kidding!
Kim: Yeah, funny, wasn't it?
Megg: Not really...
Kim: *Sigh* Megg, I'm not kidding...it says ‘this information isn't available’. *Snaps her fingers* Oooooh, I forgot...this was the year he moved from Montana to California...though I’m not sure if he moved from California back to Montana….*she lets out an exhaustive sigh*
Megg: I'm sorry, Kim. Maybe we'll catch up with him in California...
Kim: *Scoffs* When are we going to California?
Megg: I don't know...but we can!
Kim: *Sighs* No, Megg, it's all right. I guess I'm not supposed to meet him, that's all. I'm used to things not going my way...Besides he’s married! …Not happily, but married all the same. Oh pally, it’s no use, I guess I’ll just have to give the dream up.
Megg: Don't say that! You'll find him, don't worry.
Kim: *Smiles faintly, knowing she’s only saying it to make her feel better* Thanks Megg...

Megg: Wait a minute...It's 1945....and we have....the INTERNET?!?!
Kim: Don't ask...
Megg: Too late...I already asked...
Kim: Well, this only means one thing...
Megg: Oh tell me, tell me!
Kim: The TV and DVD's have to work too!
Megg: OH GIMME THE CORDS! GIMME GIMMEE!
Kim: The cords?
Megg: The co-ax...the banana plug....and another co-ax...
Kim: What?
Megg: Plugs!
Kim: What plugs!?!?
Megg: The ones to hook the TV to the DVD player...
Kim: Oooooh!
Megg: You did bring the plugs didn't you?
Kim: I travel back to the future, carefully plan what I'm going to grab and run back to the time machine without looking suspicious and you ask me if I grabbed the plugs?!?!
Megg: Well, did you?
Kim: Well, no!
Megg: YOU DIDN'T BRING THE CORDS?!
Kim: NO!
Megg: You gotta go back and get them!
Kim: You go and get them!
Megg: I don't know how to operate that thing!
Kim: Neither do I!
Megg: Well...you know how to do it better than I do!
*All of a sudden, the newer items that they brought to the past start fading away*
Megg: *does a double take* Is that possible?
Kim: It must be...it's happening ain't it?!
Megg: *nods* It's happening..
Kim: I guess if we want to google anything we'll have to go back to 2007 and bring the information with us...
Megg: *sniffles and makes a sad face* What about the CCH?! *jumps on them, covering them, just as they disappear* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kim: We'll either have to wait a few years until they sign with NBC, or go back to 2007 and watch them when we need to...
Megg: But...I don't wanna leave...what if I miss the announcement of the winner of the contest?
Kim: *gasps* WHAT ABOUT WORK!?!
Megg: Who needs work when you've got a time machine?!
Kim: Those things aren't cheap to operate!
Megg: What do they run on?
Kim: I dunno...
Megg: Well, we better find out...and whatever it is...we better stockpile it!

Kim: *Remembering the lines to Back to the Future* It runs on a flux capacitor! Megg: A what? Kim: *Holds up an image of a Flux Capacitor* This! Megg: *Looks at Kim as if she's insane* ...I don't know why I ever became your friend, Kim. Kim: *Rolls her eyes* Come on, let's get going to bed. We have a big day tomorrow... Megg: Doing WHAT?! Kim: *Thinks for a while, then mumbles* Megg: What was that? Kim: I said I don't know! Megg: Great Kim, we've longed for this moment our entire lives...and now we don't have anywhere to go or anyone to hang out with! Kim: *Shrugs* I dunno, pally... *The next morning, Kim wakes up and decides to take a walk down to the bakery* *She walks a ways down the street until she smells the sweet aroma of freshly baked bread* Kim: *Inhales* Mmmmm, there's nothing like fresh baked bread! *She walks into the bakery and orders two loaves* Kim: Thanks! Clerk: You're welcome, miss! *Kim walks out with a smile on her face. She suddenly remembers she and Megg have to get a hair cut for the contest announcement so she hurries her pace and finds her way to the nearest barbershop* Kim: *Walks in and immediately gets greeted by the barber* Hi, I was wondering how much your haircuts are... Barber: $10 for an entire foil and perm. Kim: Wow, that's che--I mean...thank you. *Kim walks out and briskly walks back to the hotel. She walks into the room and slams the door, waking Megg* Kim: Megg! Guess what! Megg: Go away... Kim: Guess what! Megg: I don't care. Kim: I found a barbershop where we can both get our haircut for $20 total! Megg: *Begins to wake* Really? Kim: Yeah! Megg: *Sits up, rubbing her eyes* Where is it? Kim: Just a few blocks from here... Megg: Well, let's go! Kim: When is the announcement again? Megg: *Walks over to the desk and picks up the sheet of paper, reading it* It says...wow, to-night! Kim: To-night?! Megg: Yeah! Kim: We better get ready then! *The girls spend the entire day primping and prettying themselves up. They pull out their shoes and accessories and have manicures and pedicures.* *Megg and Kim fit on their dresses in two separate bathrooms, both right next door to each other. They slide their shoes on, fixing their jewelry in place and applying gobs of perfume* Megg: Oh, Kim, hold it on the perfume, sweetie! It smells like someone beat Celine Dion to death with a perfume stick, *gags* It's coming in through the door! Kim: Sorry, I'm just so excited! We're going to meet Dean Martin in 2 hours!! Megg: *Starts panting* I--I can't believe it!!!! Kim: *Walks out of the bathroom and shows Megg her dress* How does it look? Megg: Wow! That dress is gorgeous! Kim: Thanks! *Sits down in front of the mirror and applies some lipstick onto her lips for the 3rd time, nervously* Megg: *Sits on the bed, putting her stockings on* Hey, are my seams straight? *Megg stands up and turns around* Kim: Yep! Perfect! How's my dress? Is it too tight? Megg: No, it looks simply stunning! Kim: Awwww, thanks! So does yours! The green looks GORGEOUS on you! Megg: Thanks! *Looks at her watch* Oh, we better get going, we don't want to be late... Kim: Right, good idea. Let's go! *The girls grab their purses and walk down to the lobby and jump into a taxi* Megg: 124th and Cedar Avenue, please.

*The two speed off to the theatre where the one lucky contestant will be chosen ane whisked away to Hollywood to meet Dean and Jerry and film a movie with them*
Megg: *bites at the tip of one fingernail*
Kim: Don't do that!
Megg: Do do what?!
Kim: THAT! *points to Megg's fingernail in her mouth*
Megg: Oh...*takes it away*
Kim: You'll never win with a botched manicure!
Megg: I'll probably never win period...you won't let me use the time machine to make sure I win! Out of so many thousands of contestants, how can I?
Kim: It's the forties, there's not as many people in the world as there is in 2007...
Megg: SO?!
Kim: So you have better chances!
Megg: You're an idiot...
Kim: *shrugs and goes through her purse and applies more perfume*
*Megg sits next to her and hacks and gags*
Megg: Please Kim...I'm getting a headache from all that scent you've got on!
Kim: Sorry, Geez! *she puts the perfume back into her purse and gets her lipstick and applies it. Just as she goes for her top lip, the cabbie hits a rather large bump and Kim gets lipstick on her face and teeth*
*Megg looks at her and laughs*
*Kim gives her an angry look and takes the lipstick and gives Megg an lipstick mustache*
Megg: HEY! *she gets her little mirror and her handkerchief and wipes off the lipstick* You can still see it...vaguely! I look like...LIKE THE PRINGLES MAN!
*Thankfully the cabbie didn't hear them, because that specific marketing icon hadn't even been invented yet*
Kim: *laughs at her and wipes the lipstick off of her own face*
*The cab pulls up to the curb. Megg pays the man and Kim and Megg rush into the theatre*
*They find their seats and sit down*
Megg: Oh...I'm so nervous!
Kim: *looks around at all the women who are packed into the theatre*
Megg: I thought you said my chances were going to be good...
Kim: They are pally...they are...trust me!
Megg: The only way I'd win this thing is if all the other contestants were male!
Kim: But they need leading ladies, why would males enter?
Megg: Never mind...*shakes her head* I still say you should let me use the time machine to win this thing...I just have to go back and change some of the rules, and then we have it...
*The women on either side of Kim and Megg give them weird looks and get up to go find different seats*
Megg: Obviously they're not from the future!
Kim: How are we ever going to make friends in this year if you keep talking like you're crazy?!
Megg: What are you talking about, "Talking like I'm crazy?!" I AM CRAZY!
*The place goes quiet*
*Megg clears her throat* So...anyways....
*All the women start to talk again, the place grows noisy*
Megg: *sighs and bites her lip as the lights go down and Dean and Jerry come out*
*They do a little joking around and then a master of ceremonies type person wheels out this big crate with all the applications in it. Jerry jumps in it and acts like he's swimming around. Dean and the MC pull him out. Jerry comes out with an application. He opens it up and reads*
Jerry: Megan Ha...hay...hap...had...hayd....
*The MC takes it*
MC: Megan Hadden!
Megg: *Stands up and then faints*

Kim: *Gasps and looks to Megg* (not much sense of surprise when there are only two people writing the story..."a Jolie Barbahand won" ...WHAT?! WHO?!) Megg! *Shakes Megg* You won! Get up there, they're watching you!
*Kim gets embarrassed; the lights are shining down bright on the two and the entire crowd is waiting to see what'll happen next*
Kim: *Slaps Megg* Wake up!!
Megg: *Comes to* Huh? What?
Kim: You won! Get up there!
Megg: *Stands up, looking around, bright red and chuckling nervously*
*Kim pushes her to-wards the stage, and Megg walks up the steps and to-wards Dean* (My knees are weak!)
Megg: H-h-hi...
Dean: *Walks up to Megg and smiles charmingly, like only Dean can* Hiya Megan...
Megg: *Looks to Dean, then gets full coweyes and shys away, looking to Kim in the audience* ...Hi. *Mouths and points* That's Dean Martin...
Kim: *Laughs and mouths back* I know! ...Don't ruin it!
Dean: *Hands Megg the papers* Looks like we're gonna be spending some time together for a few months...
Megg: *Looks to Dean* Months?!
Dean: *Smiles and nods* Yeah, remember, we're doing a movie together--
*Jerry jumps in and shakes Megg's hand violently, smiling*
Jerry: And you'll love us, and you'll feed us, and you'll bathe us and--
Megg: And I'll walk you and I'll pet you and I'll comb you and I'll love you forever--*breaks into song* BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITH AJAX!
*Jerry turns to Dean*
Jerry: ...I love this woman.
Dean: *Leans into Jerry* Don't you lay a finger on her...she's mine!
*Megg, laughs obnoxiously, watching the crowd, trying to get laughs*
Dean: *Clears throat, and walks up to Megg* Do you have a speech prepared?
Megg: *Quiets down and looks to Dean* What?
Dean: Do you have a speech?
Megg: *Gazes into his eyes and begins to swoon. She hears a "sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide! Sliiiiiiiiiiiide woman!!" coming from the audience and snaps out of it* Oh! Speech? Sure, yeah..*digs in her pocket, her tongue sticking out, making grunting sounds* Ahah! *holds the speech out in front of her and giggles* Oh, that's not it! That's my prescription!
Coming from the audience: YOU BETTER START USING THAT PRESCRIPTION, TOO! I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THAT!
Megg: *Continues to giggle, she puts the piece of paper in her pocket and begins to dig around again* Here it is! *Clears throat* I'm honored to be here...thank you.
*The audience begins to applaud*
Jerry: Not a very big speech, that was...
Megg: *Laughs* I didn't think I was gonna win!
Jerry: Well, ya' did!
*Dean walks Megg backstage as the entire audience continues to clap and applaud*
Megg: Awww, they like me...
Dean: No, that's just the "applaud" button.
Megg: They had that back the--I mean, Ohh...I thought it was a live audience...
Dean: Oh, it is...but for occasions like this the security is a little thicker and the doors a little stronger.
Megg: Huh?
Dean: These women get hostile when they don't get their way into show business...so we have to make sure no outbreaks arise.
Megg: Oooooh...
*Dean walks Megg into his dressing room and offers her a drink*
Dean: Would you like a scotch?
Megg: *Smiles, sitting down on the couch* No thanks...
*She stares at Dean for a while and smiles*
Dean: ...Maybe you should listen to your friend and take those meds..
Megg: *Smiles, still in a daze* Yeah...
Dean: You all right?
Megg: *Snaps out of it* Oh, yeah, of course. I was just thinking...
Dean: *Takes a sip of his scotch* Yeah? What about?
Megg: Just wondering what it'll be like to star in a movie with y--...to star in a movie *Smiles*
Dean: Oooh, right. Well, this is my first movie, too! So I know how you feel.
Megg: *Chuckles* I bet you do...
*One of the crew members opens the door and in comes Kim*
Kim: *Nods to the man and smiles* Thanks. *Turns to Megg* Pally! You won!!
Dean: *Turns around, looking at Kim and gets a confused look. Says to himself:* Pally?
Megg: *Jumps up and gives Kim a huge hug* I know! I can't believe it!
Megg: *Looks to Dean, then to Kim and sticks her hand up in the air to cover her point. She mouths* Dean!
Kim: *Laughs and nods. Whispering* I know...
Dean: *Raises his brow, looking to the two crazies and extends his hand* Hi, I'm Dean.
Kim: *Freezes* I-I-I-I I know...
Dean: *Points to Kim* She's just like you, Megan! *Laughs, amused* Are you two a part of an act?
Megg: *Looks to Kim* You could say that...
*Jerry walks into the room with a cigarette*
Jerry: *Looks to Megg* Congratulations again, Megan--
Megg: You can call me Megg...
Jerry: *Smiles* All right. *Turns to Kim* So this is your loud friend?
Kim: *Sticks finger in Jerry's face* I may be a lot of things...but loud I am NOT!
Jerry: *Smiles, taking her hand and lowering it to her side* Whatever you say...
Megg: This is my friend, Kim...Kim...this is *squeals* Dean and Jerry!
Dean: You do that a lot, don't you?
Megg: Do what?
Dean: *Imitates Megg's squeal*
Megg: *Turns to Kim with huge eyes* I wish we had a tape recorder!!
Kim: *Mouths* I know!
Dean: You girls come with anyone? ...Dates or anything?
Megg: No...
Kim: *Looks to Megg* Oh, by the way, I tried looking for Gary again; I asked around, and everyone just kept giving me weird looks! They kept asking me if I’m a stalker…
Jerry: Gary who?
Kim: *Looks to Jerry, then to Megg* Is it okay to tell him?
Megg: *Shrugs* I don't know...
Jerry: Okay to tell me what?
Kim: I’m looking for Gary Cooper...
Jerry: *Looks to Kim as if she were insane*
Kim: That look! That right there!
*Kim takes hold of Jerry’s face, making him freeze it into position and she points violently*
Jerry: You’re looking for Gary Cooper? *Laughs* Why?
Kim: *Looks to Megg, then back to Jerry* It’s hard to explain…
Jerry: You aren’t really a stalker, right?
Kim: No!
Jerry: I think he lives in Montana….or is it California?
*Dean looks to Megg and smiles flirtatiously, completely ignoring the others*
Dean: Hey, Megg...
Megg: *Turns* Yeah?
Dean: Would you...*clears his throat* Would you like to go get some ice cream with me?
*Kim opens her big mouth and shouts, just at the exact same time as Jerry*
Both: DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON'T LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
*Kim and Jerry look at one another and chuckle.*
*Kim walks over to Megg and cowers behind her, and Jerry over to Dean*
Megg: *Chuckles* I would love to...
*Dean loops his arm with hers and the two walk out*
Megg: *Looks to Kim and makes a little squeal, points to Dean and whispers* Dean Martin!
Kim: *Laughs and whispers* I know!! *Points to Jerry* Jerry Lewis!

*Megg and Dean walk a little ways down the street and stop at a little drug store/Ice Cream Parlour. Dean holds the door open for Megg and she walks in. Dean follows. They sit at the counter and Dean orders two cones. He hands her one cone and they sit and eat the ice cream making idle chit-chat inbetween.*
Dean: So, are you from around here?
Megg: Oh no, I come from two thou---*She remembers that she's not supposed to tell anyone about the time machine or they will think she's crazy.*
Dean: Where?
Megg: Two blocks down from here...
Dean: I see...
Megg: *Already knowing all of the trivia bits about Dean she doesn't say much to him*
Dean: So...anything you'd like to ask me?
Megg: *shrugs* You from here?
Dean: No...Steubenville...Ohio
Megg: Oh...You and Jerry been together long?
Dean: Just a couple a months...
Megg: Oh....interesting..
Dean: So...this "pally" of yours...are you two always this crazy?
Megg: Oh yeah! That's all we do...
Dean: Be crazy?!
Megg: *nods frantically* Yeah!
Dean: *Moves his stool a little farther away from Megg*
Megg: Yeah...we usually get that response...
***Back at the Theatre with Kim and Jerry***
Jerry: So...Gary Cooper, eh? Tell me again, why do you want to meet him? Besides the obvious fact...
Kim: Like I said, it's hard to explain.
*Megg and Dean return to the theatre. There is a car waiting to take the four of them to the airport to board a plane to Hollywood. The four get in and on the way, the two girls realize that their time machine is going to be left behind.*
Kim: *her eyes grow wide and she gasps*
Jerry: Anything wrong?
Kim: *looks to Megg and then back to Jerry* Oh no...just nervous that's all...I've never been in a movie before...
Dean: Well, neither have we...so we're on the level there...
Megg: *just sits there admiring Dean*
*When they get out at the airport, Kim takes Megg aside*
Kim: What are we going to do about the time machine?
Megg: Could we tell them we have to go back and we will meet them there later? We could set the time machine to take us to Hollywood 1946, today...and then we'll have it with us there?!
Kim: *shrugs* Or..we could just disassemble it, tell em we forgot something back at our hotel, and put the pieces in our bags...
Megg: Do you know how to re-assemble it?
Kim: No, but we can draw a diagram...
Megg: I like my idea better...
Kim: Alright....fine...we'll do it your way!
Dean: Come on you two...they're boarding...
Kim: We forgot something very important at our hotel...can we go back and get it and meet you guys in Hollywood?
(Sorry pally, outta ideas, you take this ship over now lol)

*Grabs the wheel*
*Kim and Megg take a taxi back to the hotel and run over to the machine*
Kim: *Climbs in* Megg, come on!
Megg: *Leaps in* All right, let's go!
*Kim presses 'Hollywood: 1946'*
*The machine begins to buzz again, the girls hang on tight*
*After a couple minutes of the routine light show, it slowly comes to a halt and the girls walk out, finding themselves at the airport*
Megg: Now what?
Kim: *Shrugs* We wait?
Megg: For what?
Kim: I d--
Dean: There they are!
*Dean and Jerry run over to Megg and Kim*
Jerry: We thought we lost ya'!
Kim: *Chuckles faintly and looks to Megg* No...we were just...
Megg: Passing time.
Kim: *Laughs* *Ahem* You guys ready?
Dean: Yep! Got a hotel ready and everything!
Megg: *Smiles, looking at Dean* Great!
*Megg and Dean walk off arm in arm, leaving Kim and Jerry trudging behind*
*They arrive at the hotel after taking a 20 minute taxi ride.*
*Kim tracks the distance between the hotel and the machine*
Dean: *Opens the door for Megg*
Megg: Thank you! *Leans into Kim* See, this is what the men back in our day didn't understand...
Kim: *Scoffs* I know...
*They get up to the hotel, having their rooms reserved since last night*
Megg: *Walks in* Wow, it's so gorgeous!
Kim: Yeah! And look, no TV!
Megg: *Laughs*
Dean: Hotel's don't have tv's...
Kim: *Looks to Megg* Oh...yeah, well...we always thought that was funny.
*Dean goes to join Jerry in their separate room, but Megg stops him quickly*
Megg: *Grabs onto his arm, and feels his biceps, she squeals again and looks to Kim*
Kim: *Rolls her eyes, chuckling*
Megg: *Looks back to Dean's arms and notices he has a ring (it's taken you this long?)* Oh!
Dean: *Looks down* What?
Megg: You have a ring!
Dean: *Pulls away, and hides his ring* Oh, yeah...
Megg: Don't worry, I love rings.
Kim: *Laughs, mocking* 'Don't worry, I love rings'
Megg: *Shoots Kim and evil glance*
Dean: You do?
Megg: I've always found them to be so....sexy!
Dean: Well, me and my wife, Betty, aren't doing so well...
Megg: I know.
Dean: What? How do you know?
Kim: *Perks*
Megg: Well...I....uh...*looks to Kim* You look like you're having troubles with the wife.
Dean: Really?
Megg: *Making it up as she goes* Yeah...you look kinda sad.
Dean: Well, I've never felt any better, really...
*Dean gazes into Megg's eyes deeply and smiles*
Kim: *Clears her throat* Megg, we better let Dean get back to his room, we have a lot to do.
Megg: *Looks to Kim and scoffs* Like what?
Kim: Like get a new wardrobe!
Megg: We don't have much money, Kim...
Kim: The contest is paying for it! *Gets a giant smile on her face and shrieks* Full outfits and new haircuts!
Megg: We just had a haircut yesterday...
Kim: Do you still have hair?
Megg: Yeah...
Kim: Then it won't hurt! Let's have another!
Dean: *Chuckles, gives Megg's hand a gentle squeeze and walks out of the room*
Kim: Whaddya' say?
Megg: I don'--
Kim: Megg...I don't have anyone. Now that you and Dean are gonna be together, I don't have anyone to spend time with...
Megg: You have Jerry!
Kim: Awwww, I love Jerry, Megg, but I kinda wanted to have someone who isn't...*tries to explain, fumbling over her words*
Megg: So Jerry?
Kim: Yeah! *Sigh* I'm sorry. I won't ask for much of your time, I just wanna have one last girls night out before you two make it as a couple.
Megg: How do you know we're gonna be a couple? Kim, he's still married!
Kim: Megg...the way he looks at you...believe me...you'll be a couple.
Megg: *Smiles, looking towards the door* You think so?
Kim: *Chuckles* I know so.
Megg: *Looks back to Kim, giddy* All right! One more haircut and we'll go get the clothes...then it's Dean and me time.
Kim: A love story?
Megg: *Slaps Kim on the arm and they both chuckle*

*The two ring for a car, after all, the studio is going to cater to their every whim now. The car comes round and picks the two up. They get dropped off at all of the very ritzy shops and stare at the beautiful clothes in wonderment.* Megg: *looks at a beautiful evening gown* I wish this stuff was popular back where we're from... Kim: *picks up a beautiful day dress and holds it against herself, looking at it in the mirror* Oh, I know...but we're here now...We can actually wear what we love and not have to worry about people looking at us like we're crazies! Megg: But we still are crazies, aren't we? Kim: Yeah...we're still crazies...people are still going to give us those crazy looks...but this time for different reasons... Megg: The time ma--*she is cut off as Kim drops the dress and covers Megg's mouth with her hand* Kim: SHHH! They'll put us away! We'll be in a rubber room with bars on the windows, and those jackets that tie in the back! Megg: Oh sorry... Kim: *picks up the dress and browses through the racks* That's alright...I almost let it slip today... Megg: YOU WHAT?! *slaps her arm* Kim: Jerry asked about Gary...I told him tha the was an actor. Megg: *gasps* But, he'snot famous yet! Kim: I know that! Megg: So, what happened? Kim: Well...He keeps asking why I want to meet up with him. I keep saying it's hard to explain, but then he gives me funny looks, like he KNOWS something's up. Megg: Yeah, I'd give you funny looks too if you kept asking where Gary Cooper lives, talking about the future and telling jokes that haven't yet been ad-libbed! What happened next? Kim: He said I was creeping him out and we changed the subject and then about that time you and Dean came waltzing in. Megg: We weren't waltzing...it was more like....a tango! *dances around with the dress* I think I want this one... Kim: You have a major motion picture studio buying you a wardrobe and you only pick out ONE dress!? *picks up more dresses and throws the across Megg's outstretched arm* Megg: Oh...I like those.... *They lay their purchases on the counter* Megg: Oh...can I have just one to wear back to the room...Don't box that one up...*she points to the grey one* *The clerk nods and hands the dress to Megg* Megg: I'll be right back...*she walks into the dressing room and walks out a few minutes later* Kim: Megg! *Her mouth falls open* Are you trying to kill Dean?! Megg: *looks at herself in the mirror and then smiles at Kim* I'm just doing anything I can to speed this love story along... ***Back At The Hotel****Dean lays on his bed with his hands behind his head gazing at the ceiling, lost in thought. Jerry notices the expression on Dean's face and gives him a look.* Jerry: What's wrong with you? Dean: *snaps out of it* Huh? Oh nothin... Jerry: Uh huh! I know that look! Dean: What look? *Jerry mocks the look. Dean laughs* Dean: Come on admit it... Jerry: Admit what? Dean: You're not completely taken with Megg! Jerry: *indifferent* I'm not! Dean: You're not?! *Feels his forehead and cheeks, checking for a fever* Jerry: Nope...I'm not... Dean: And why not? Jerry: She's too weird... Dean: *gives him a look that says, "Wow you've really lost it, kid!"* Too weird? FOR YOU?! Jerry: After all, I'm a married man! Dean: So? Jerry: Paul, so are you! Dean: *looks down at his wedding ring and then back to Jerry* But...I don't love her like I love Betty...It's different this time... Jerry: And how many times are you going to say that, Paul? *About that time Megg and Kim get out of the taxi* Kim: Should we show off that new dress of yours? Megg: *looks herself over for the umpteen hundreth time* Yeah! Maybe they'll take us...dancing! Kim: Oh pally! *the two walk up and knock on Dean and Jerry's door* *Dean answers the door and nearly falls over when he sees the dress Megg is wearing.* Dean: Well, come on in! *Jerry shoots him a look that says, "Remember, you're married!" and holds up his left hand wiggling his fingers. Dean makes a disgusted face and wiggles his fingers back at him, mockingly. The girls give them crazy looks* Jerry: *takes Kim in his arms and dances around the room with her* How about some dancing? Kim: *laughs* Look like I don't have a choice... Dean: *looks Megg over and manages to sneak his wedding ring off while she's giggling and watching Jerry drag Kim around the room. He slips the ring in his pocket* So, whadd'ya say about this dancing? Megg: *Blushes* I'd love to...

Dean: *Leans in to give her a hug but Jerry makes a loud noise, crashing into the corner with Kim*
Jerry: *Laughs* You okay?
Kim: *Laughs* Yeah....the chair broke my fall *she gets up and starts giggling, seeing the chair crushed like a pancake*
Jerry: *Laughs hysterically* I'm sorry, Kim, I didn't know what I was doing!
Kim: *Chuckles, brushing herself off* When do you ever?
Jerry: *Goes to laugh, but realizes* This girl knows me better than I know myself! *He shakes the feeling off and smiles* Are you all right?
Kim: Yes, I'm all right...thank you.
*Megg walks Dean out into the hall, they wait for a minute, both unsure of what to say*
Dean: So I'll see you in a couple hours?
Megg: Yeah *smiles* I'd like that.
Dean: Any particular place you'd like to go dancing?
Megg: *Not knowing any great places to go dancing, she looks up and smiles sweetly* You choose for us, all right?
Dean: *Smiles* All right...you better warn Kim, though...Jerry's got a little crush on her, and he may embarrass her some...
Megg: *Laughs* SOME?! The man is incapable of acting normal! I fear for her life!
Dean: *Laughs* You and me both!
Megg: Well...I guess I better let you go...we'll see you in a couple hours...
*Dean, not wanting to let her go, forces a smile and runs his hand over her arm*
Dean: All right, Megg...see you later.
*Dean walks into his room as Megg walks back into hers, along with Kim and Jerry*
*Kim's teaching Jerry the Charleston*
Jerry: Where'd you learn to Charleston so well?!
Kim: I learned it from yo--I mean...I learned it from my mother...*smiles cheesily*
Jerry: Your mother gets into this kind of dancing?!
Kim: *Chuckles* Sure! I have a very hip mom...
Jerry: Hip? Kid, what planet did you come from?
Kim: Same planet as you, fella...
Megg: *Chuckles* You better get going, Jer', Dean's waiting for ya'...
*Jerry looks to Kim and stops dancing, he fumbles around and giggles nervously. He plants a huge kiss on her cheek and makes a break for the door*
Megg: *Laughs* He's just like I always imagined!
Kim: *Panting* Yeah...he's also just as energetic as he looks, too!
*Later that night Kim digs around in her bags and comes across her favorite dress...*
*She holds the plastic covering up and lays it neatly on the bed*
Megg: You're wearing that to-night?
Kim: *Sighs* I don't know...I'm starting to think I may never meet up with Gary.
Megg: Awwww, you will, don't worry.
Kim: But Megg, he isn't here...I can't remember where he was in this year and we don't have the money to travel all across the world!
Megg: I don't know what to tell ya', Kim, but you just gotta make sure Jerry's the one. I mean if you wear that dress...you gotta make sure Jerry's the one you fall for. The rest is up to the dress...
Kim: I know. I mean, I like Jerry...he's adorably sweet, but I can't imagine going home to THAT every night!
Megg: *Chuckles* I know what ya' mean...
Kim: I'll wait a little longer on the dress, but if I don't meet up with him soon, I think I'm just gonna try it with Jerry.
Megg: *Sighs* All right sweetie, whatever you say. I hope you know what you're doing.
Kim: *Looks down at the dress* I hope so too...

*Dean leads Megg out onto the dance floor. The band begins playing. Dean recognizes the song and while he and Megg dance, he starts singing to her*
Day after day, I’ll always love you, live just to say, I’ll always love you. Dear one , your nearness is my treasure, dear one, your kiss as rich as wine. And it’s mine, yes it’s mine, the wonder of you, yours, love if yours, because I love you.
*Megg and Dean stop dancing. He holds both of her hands in his, and he looks into her eyes, lovingly, and continues singing, only to her.*
To you I give my heart so madly madly beating, with every beat repeating, I’ll always love you so.
*Dean begins dancing with Megg again, this time cheek to cheek. Kim and Jerry witness this whole proceeding. He hums the last few verses*
And it’s mine, yes it’s mine, the wonder of you. Yours, love is yours because I love you. To you, I give my heart so madly madly beating, with every beat repeating, I’ll always love you so.
*When the song ends. Dean and Megg look at each other for a split second, before returning to their table. Dean grabs her in his arms and pulls her close, kissing her. The crowd had been applauding Dean’s singing, but this time they’re applauding louder. Megg and Dean return to their seats. Kim, who has been dragged to the dance floor once more by Jerry, is pining for Gary.*
I’ll never find him. Maybe I should just give it up. Maybe Jerry is the one for me….Just accept it Kim, you’ll never have your dream man. You’ll have to dance with Jerry for the rest of your life because Megg will always have Dean…
*Megg and Dean sit at the table, they just look at their drinks, still a little shaken from the kiss. Megg feels guilty due to the fact that she’s not even from this era. Not only that, but he’s married. She excuses herself.*
Megg: I’ll be back…I’m just going to step out for a bit of fresh air…
*Dean stands and pulls out her chair for her. He gives her a smile and then sits back down in his own chair once she is gone. He takes out a cigarette and his matches and lights up a cigarette. With each puff he’s mentally beating himself up for moving too quickly with Megg.*
She’s the right one…no one’s ever made me feel so….me….
*He puts his cigarette out in the ashtray and walks out to find Megg. She’s leaning her back against the building. She’s lost in thought.*
I can’t tay here and fall in love with Dean Martin.”
*She starts thinking out loud as Dean comes into ear shot.*
Megg: I don’t even know if I’ll age!
*Dean overhears it and laughs. He takes both of her hands in both of his*
Dean: It won’t matter, you’ll still be just as beautiful to me.
*He kisses her hands and Megg blushes, embarrassed about the kiss and about what she said, while thinking out loud.*
Dean: Everything alright?
Megg: Dean…I gotta tell you something…
*Dean looks at her, waiting for what she is going to say next.*
Just tell him the truth, just tell him you’re from 2007, and that you can’t fall in love with him because it won’t matter in fifty years if the two of them marry or not, because the rest of the world will never know…and…and…he’s MARRIED!
Megg: Dean…I’m sorry…you’re married…We shouldn’t have…
*Dean hushes her*
Dean: Megg, I meant everything I sang to you in that song…
*They stand, looking into one another’s eyes, Megg’s hands still in Dean’s. She looks away.*
Megg: I’d just like to go back to my room…please… *she hails for a taxi*
*He grabs her arm before she gets in the taxi and pulls her towards him, giving her a kiss. She gives him a confused look, not sure what she should really do and gets inside the taxi. She tells the driver where to take her and then she too mentally beats herself up, on the ride to the room.*
Why did you do that?! You kissed DEAN MARTIN! What’s wrong with you?!
*Dean heads back inside and tells Jerry and Kim that he’s heading back. They notice the look on his face and not spotting Megg anywhere around the club, they tell him to go back to the room and get some rest. Kim and Jerry hang around a few minutes longer and chat very infrequently.*
***The Next Morning***
*Dean opens up one of the Hollywood newspapers to find a picture of he and Megg kissing, by the taxi. About that time, the telephone in his room rings. He walks over and picks it up. He throws the paper down.*
Operator: Call from New York…
Dean: I’ll accept… *he takes a deep sigh, knowing exactly who it is and prepares himself for the battle ahead. The battle that was so long in coming, but so worth it to him.*
Betty: I am filing for divorce, Dean Martin! This is a disgrace! How could you embarrass me in such a fashion! I am moving back home and I want nothing to do with you ever again…
*Dean just hangs up the phone with a slight smile on his face*

*Kim wakes the next morning to see the sun shining brightly. She looks around the room to find it...empty, once again*
*She gets up and takes a deep sigh, preparing herself for the dreary day ahead*
Kim: *Walks into the bathroom* Maybe if I just tell Megg I can't do this anymore and head back to 2007... *Takes out her toothbrush and begins to run it under cold water* No, I can't do that...she'll feel guilty and leave Dean and oh--I can't do that... *She finishes brushing her teeth and places the toothbrush back into the holder* But maybe if I go back in time... *Snaps her fingers* That's what I'll do! I'll go back and take him with me. That way I can have him young and unmarried!
*Kim hurries out of the bathroom to get dressed. She sits down at the small table and writes Megg a letter*
Dear Megg, By the time you get this letter, I'll already be gone. Don't worry about me, I'll be back before you even realize it...or wait...then why am I writing this letter? Oh well, just in case time passes whilst I'm gone, here's a letter explaining. I've gone to go find Gary. I don't know how long I'll be gone, but as soon as I find him, I'll call...oh this is too confusing. I'll just kidnap him and bring him to the hotel. I hope you and Dean are able to work things out. I saw the paper this morning and maybe this is the break you need... Anyways, I'm sorry to ramble on, I just wanted to let you know what my plans were. See you in the future, pally.
*She grabs her coat and heads out the door, but stops immediately and grabs the dress in the plastic covering*
Kim: I'm not going ANYWHERE without you...
*She heads down to the lobby and hails for a taxi. On the way, she tries to figure out where she parked the time machine...*

*Kim wanders around and finally finds the time machine. She gets in and thinks.*
What year would I like Gary...I don't want him too young, but I don't want him married either...
*She presses the right buttons that correspond to what year she has picked out and she is off in a flash.*
***Back in 1946***
*Megg wakes up and goes out to the kitchen to get some orange juice. She notices a note on the counter. She picks it up and reads it to herself, sipping at her orange juice*
Megg: I hope she finds him...poor dear...
*She finishes her last sip of orange juice and puts the container back in the refrigerator. She turns to lay her cup and note on the other counter and she see's that Kim has brought in a newspaper. She spots the lead picture and gasps. The cup falls out of her hand and breaks on the floor, beside her feet.*
I knew I shouldn't have done this! I'm going to screw up Dean's life, and what if...
*She gasps at the thought of possibly screwing up Martin and Lewis.*
I'll just go to Dean and tell him it was all a mistake...that is...if he still wants to talk to me after what happened last night. Oh, how terribly I treated him...
*She looks down and notices the broken glass and gets small whisk and dust pan and cleans it up, throwing the shards of glass away and replacing the whisk and dust pan.*
Of course he'll want to talk with me...He's madly in love with me...
*She looks at the picture again*
Megg: Of course he's madly in love with me! *She takes the newspaper and folds it up and goes into the bathroom to get ready for the day ahead. She's so nervous, since shooting begins today.*
***Back With Kim in the Time Machine***
*The time machine comes to a full stop in an alley. Kim steps out and looks around at all of the cars and gasps at the beauty and simplicity of the time.*
*She walks out of the short alley but first makes sure that she hides the machine somewhat with some empty barrells and some boards she finds in the alley, to prevent someone from stealing it. She stands in the opening to the alley and looks around.*
Kim: This is even better than 1946!
*Some passers-by give her strange looks and keep going. She looks down at her clothes and notices she is still wearing her 1940's clothes. She runs back to the time machine and changes into the extra dress she brought along. She looks herself over and nods, stepping out and hiding the machine once more...*
Kim: Now...to find Gary...
*Kim looks around the huge city and shakes her head, confused*
But where to start?!

*Kim looks around, trying to figure out which way she should go*
Left or right....north or south?
*She contemplates for a moment and decides to head towards the hotel. Since she's been there before (in the future, that is) she knows right where the hotel is located. through on her way she beats herself up over what to do next*
How am I even going to find him? This guy isn't famous yet AND I don't even know where he's at! Besides! How would I approach him? "Hi, Mr. Cooper, you don't know me but I'm from the future...I've come to take you to 1946...I've been in love with you since 2006, but I went back to 1946 with my friend Megg...See, I couldn't be with you THEN because you're already married--not happily, of course--but I *sigh* I just need to take you back with me so I can finally tell all my friends I married Gary Cooper." *Laughs* Like that'd work
*She gets into the hotel, trying to calm her nerves and walks up to the welcome desk*
Kim: Hello, I'd like a room, please?
Man: Of course, miss. Please sign here.
*He hands Kim a notepad and she signs on the printed line. He takes it from her and smiles politely; handing her the key to the room*
Man: We hope you will enjoy your stay, miss.
Kim: *Nods and smiles* Thank you.
*She walks up to the room and sticks the key into the door*
*She sets her covered dress down on the bed and walks into the bathroom to take a shower, hoping to calm her nerves*
Kim: *Sigh* I hope Megg's doing better with her guy...
***Back with Megg***
*Hesitant on going, Megg contemplates whether or not she should ask the taxi driver to turn around, though she stops, seeing as they're only 2 minutes from the studio*
I can't see him after what happened! Everyone knows about us and--oh! I can't do this! I just ca--
Driver: We're here, miss. Do you have an bags?
Megg: ...No...I d--how much do I owe you?
Driver: 40 cents.
Megg: *Still amazed at the amount a taxi cost back in 1946, she tries not to seem to obvious, so she shakes her head in disbelief and chuckles, digging through her purse* Here's a dollar. Keep the change.
*The man, with wide-eyes, looks to Megg and smiles*
Man: Thank you, miss! Thank you!
*Megg walks out of the car, just as the man drives away. She walks up to the studio door and takes a deep breath*
You can do this Megg, just pull through. You'll be done before you know it...just suck it up!
