~~THE PERFORMANCE THREAD~~ **aside** ((action)) %%thought%%

[Lumière]

((  Wedding guests admire the beautiful wedding grounds that Juniper has spent hours preparing ..









Quite a sight!  ))

[alec716]

TERRY CLOTH:

**  Looks like TIMMY made it after all... I was hedging my bets that he wouldn't get here...  **

[Meryl]

THE HIGH PRIESTESS:



** WAH...what a beautiful wedding!  That Juniper did such a lovely job with the arrangements.  I certainly hope TERRY and OLIVIA will be happy.  If anyone can straighten  iron TERRY out, she can.  But she'll have her claws full, as I know all too well from experience! **


((MEANWHILE....the crew is busily preparing for the next scene....))

YOUNG JACK:

((Surprised when his mama had said they were invited to Olivia's wedding, Jack drives the rickety old truck down to the chapel.))

%% Oh god, what if Ennis's here?... It's already November, guess he must have married that Alma girl.%%

((still uncertain if he really wants to be there, Jack considers getting back in the truck and heading back home.))

YOUNG ENNIS:

(( Ennis and Alma arrive at the wedding of the century, the first social event as man and wife.  Ennis looks around and sees TERRY and OLIVIA, the owl and the cloth, the happiest  they've ever been.))

**There's a sentence I never thought I'd type**

%%Wonder if tha Twists were invited.  Jack always was fond of ma warshrag.  Can't imagine him not showin'.%%

(( Ennis truly does miss his rag, he fondly remembers the days on Brokeback, squeezing him, rinsing him, spinnig him, not to mention running him over his entire body....ah the good ole' days..))

Could it be?  Is that Jack Twist?

(( Ennis is stunned right now, and looks over at Alma's confused look, because he didn't realize he said that out loud.))

[Daniel]

YOUNG JACK:

((Jack sees a familiar face in the crowd, surrounded by his favorite color - denim blue, but with a brown jacket that brings the golden tone of his skin out and makes his eyes light up like gold.))

%% Damn, there he is. What do I do now....%%

((As much as he wanted to go over and greet Ennis, he was put off by the plain girl standing so close to him.))

%%That must be Alma. She looks alright, I guess.%%

((Jack  tries to mingle with the crowd, inching farther away from Ennis. When he had first spotted him his heart and flipped over three times in his chest, and he had to get away from him. As much as possible.))

[Ann]

**Hi, everyone... Stepping in as Alma temporarily since we seem to need one here.**

ALMA:

((Alma looks up at Ennis, sees him looking off in the distance, a strange look on his face.))

**Who's Jack Twist? Someone ya know?**

**I hope I got the little marky things right.**

[DeeDee]

**Hi, everyone... Stepping in as Alma temporarily since we seem to need one here.**

ALMA:

((Alma looks up at Ennis, sees him looking off in the distance, a strange look on his face.))

**Who's Jack Twist? Someone ya know?**

YOUNG ENNIS:

Uh, um... thought it was someone I used to know, but it's not.

(( Ennis puts his head down in shame.  He doesn't want to have to explain to Alma, or have her and Jack meet.  He knows he can't go to him.  He needs to just walk away. 
He takes Alma's arm and pulls her away from the crowd.))

[Ann]

ALMA:

((looks back over her shoulder at the crowd, doesn't see too many people she recognizes))

** Are you sure? Maybe it was someone you knew. We should go see.**

((Alma gently guides Ennis back towards the crowd.))

[DeeDee]

YOUNG ENNIS:

((Ennis pull Alma back.))

ALMA! STOP IT!

%% I need ta stop her.  She can't meet 'em.%%

((Ennis sees the bruised look on her face, and suddenly regets his outbursts.))

Look, I tol' you, it's not who I thought it t'was.. leave it alone.

[Daniel]

YOUNG JACK:

((At Ennis's raised voice, Jack turns to look for him.))

%% Trouble in Paradise? Already? %%

((Jack sees Ennis drag Alma away from the crowd. Should he say something... More than a few people were distracted by the commotion.))
