“All right, all right I’m coming,” Maria called as she ran towards the door. A very anxious Isabel walked straight into the house as soon as the door opened. Maria closed the door behind her and turned to address Isabel only to find her gone. Maria walked into the living room and found her moving furniture and setting up camera equipment. Maria shook her head and smiled.
“Izzy, calm down, we’ve got plenty of time, it’s only 10:15.” Maria attempted to calm her friend down. Isabel only looked Maria up and down, assessing her outfit.
“Is that what you’re going to wear?” Isabel asked. Maria rolled her eyes.
“Not if you have a better suggestion?” Isabel smiled and ran up the stairs towards Maria and Michael’s bedroom. Maria followed quickly as Michael emerged from the kitchen in time to see Maria run behind Isabel into their room. He shook his head and retreated back into the kitchen. His theory: un-heard, unseen = not existent and maybe he’d get out of this stupid video. Ok that one was a long shot, but at least he’d get some peace before they dragged him in front of the cameras.
~~ Upstairs ~~
Isabel headed for the walk-in closet. Flicking through the rack she stopped when she found exactly what she was looking for. A light flowing summer dress, it was beautiful and it suited Maria to a tee. Maria smiled at Isabel and took the dress from her.
“Now the make-up is perfect so we can leave that. Your hair has to change though to suit the dress. I’m so glad you went back to blonde. I love blonde hair on you, it’s gorgeous.” Maria smiled as her friend appraised her hair. With a quick swipe of Isabel’s hand Maria’s curls were flowing down her back. She looked stunning and Isabel ran out of the room calling behind her.
“Change and in be down in 5 minutes. You have your questions right?” Isabel didn’t wait for an answer. She just flew down the stairs and finished setting up the equipment. Maria stood by her bed looking at the dress in her hand and slowly moving towards the mirror. She carefully stood in front of it and surveyed Isabel’s handy work. She had to admit and was perfect.
“Oh boy, what have I gotten us into?” Maria voiced her thoughts as she quickly got changed and reluctantly joined Isabel down stairs.
~~ Living Room ~~
Isabel ran around the room fluffing pillows and slightly moving furniture until she had the exact look she wanted. Maria stood in the doorway just watching her silently. She was a little afraid to alert her to her presence. Isabel was in her nazi mode, everything had to be perfect. Isabel looked up and saw Maria standing in the doorway. She smiled at her friend and walked towards her.
“Congratulations Ria,” Isabel smiled before hugging her friend. The two had become very close since leaving Roswell.
“Thanks Izzy, you know I never thought Michael and I would even get married. I mean at 16 it’s not exactly something you’re thinking about.” Isabel nodded.
“I know, what about Kyle and I? Who would have thought that was going to happen? Yet here we are, and coming up on our 5th Anniversary.” Maria smiled.
“I would have thought it. I thought you two would be perfect for each other. I’m just glad you two realised it too.” Isabel glowed.
“Where’s Michael?” Isabel looked around trying to find him.
“Three guesses Izzy, though I think you’re only going to need one.” Maria laughed as she pointed towards the kitchen. Isabel joined her friend in laughter and walked into the kitchen on a mission. Operation: Retrieve Michael. Maria leaned against the doorway as she heard Michael groan before appearing being dragged by Isabel.
“Oh honey, suck it up Mackenzie.” Maria laughed.
“Laugh it up Blondie.” Maria continued laughing.
“Oh I will thank you.” Michael rolled his eyes before a smirk traced its way on to his lips and he started laughing with her. Walking towards her, Michael leaned in and kissed his wife softly.
“All right cut it out you two. I’ve got a movie to make.” Isabel clapped her hands and the two walked towards their seats like inmates on their way to their execution. Isabel glared at the two, her hands on her hips and waited till they both cracked up and finally sat down, ready to co-operate.
“Alright. Now do you have your questions?” Michael leaned forward and pulled a small piece of paper out of his back pocket and held it up. Isabel nodded and looked towards Maria. Maria leaned over to the coffee table by the sofa and picked up a piece of paper the same as Michael’s. Isabel nodded.
“Now, the three camera’s are going to pick up the two of you together, then each of you alone. Do you want me to leave the room so you have some privacy?” Isabel asked looking at Michael. He nodded. Isabel leaned forward and switched all of the cameras on.
“Ok then. We’re rolling. Call me when you’re done.” The two nodded and watched as she left the room.
“Ok are you ready to do this?” Maria asked her nervous looking husband. She smiled at him and he seemed to relax a little.
“Yeah, sure. But you’re going first.” Maria laughed softly and nodded her head.
