[Sue is in the living room of her penthouse. She's sitting in the dark, the window that overlooks the water can be clearly seen in the background. Wrapped up in her bathrobe, she looks tired. Exhausted really.]

I hear the ticking of the clock, I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark.

[She pauses, a puzzled look on her face. It's as if that wasn't what she meant to say.]

I wonder where you are tonight, no answer on the telephone.

[Another pause. This really isn't going her way at all.]

And the night goes by so very slow. Oh, I hope that it won't end though, alone.

[Suddenly, as if by some invisible cue, background music suddenly begins blaring. And Sue suddenly finds herself singing!]

'Til now I always got by on my own,
I never really cared until I met you.
And now it chills me to the bone.
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

[Suddenly filled with confidence, she continues to sing.]

You don't know how long I have wanted to touch your lips and hold you tight.
You don't know how long I have waited, and I was gonna tell you tonight.
But the secret is still my own,
And my love for you is still unknown, alone.

[This is the part where she gently rocks out and dances around her living room in her stocking feet, bathrobe fluttering around her like a cape.]

Ooooooh!
'Til now I always got by on my own,
I never really cared until I met you.
And now it chills me to the bone.
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

[An invisible guitar plays mournfully, and Sue looks appropriately stricken as she dances.]

Alone! Aloooooooone!

[And then, as suddenly as the music began, it ends. And Sue is left looking, well, mortified. She suddenly vanishes from view, and the feed cuts off abruptly.]


((ooc: Yes, Sue just rocked out to Heart. This is for the musical plot, btw.))

[ What did he just witness? ]

[invisibly]

[Oh crap people saw that.

Slowly... fading into view.]

Hi.

video

[invoking]

[ Blinks a few times. ]

Er... hello?

Are you... alright?

video

[invisibly]

I'm fine. I'm not sure what came over me just then.

video

[invoking]

You mean you didn't mean to sing?

video

[invisibly]

Not even a little bit.

video

[invoking]

That doesn't make much sense...

video

[invisibly]

You're telling me.

[A pause]

... That was entirely public, wasn't it?

video

[invoking]

It was, but it wasn't so bad...

video

[invisibly]

Crap!

There has to be a way to get rid of this!

video

[invoking]

Can these entries on the Network not be erased somehow?

video

[invisibly]

I-I don't know. Victor might be able to help. Or Tony maybe.

Oh god...

video

[invoking]

Are you sure you're alright? It was just singing.

video

[invisibly]

It's not the singing. It's the sentiment.

video

[invoking]

Sentiment?

video

[invisibly]

I'd meant to call someone. And instead, that happened.

video

[invoking]

I'm sure they won't be bothered by this.

video

[invisibly]

No. I'm sure he won't.

That's part of the problem.

video

[invoking]

[ Puzzled now. ]

I'm not sure I understand, Miss...

video

[invisibly]

Storm. Dr. Susan Storm. Just Sue is fine.

video

[invoking]

Sue... then. [ Nobody lets him call them miss! ]

Whatever worries you have about the song, I'm sure it's nothing.

video

[invisibly]

[it's because she's a doctor ;;]

You're probably right. He probably didn't see this anyway.

video

[invoking]

Then it's all alright. [ Right? ]

video

[invisibly]

I think so.

[PRAYING NO ONE SHE REALLY KNOWS SAW THIS........]

Thanks for the pep talk.

video

[invoking]

It's nothing.
