((What happens in this thread, stays in this thread. Characters can have in-character occurences, but in the rest of the threads and RPG--we will go on like nothing ever happened.))
*Teddy stalked into the hotel bar, sat at the counter, ordered a double bourbon and lit a thin, fragrant cigar.*

((Omigosh. Love. It.))
*Kayte bounced in, stopping abruptly when she saw a a handsome man ordering stuff she wasn't old enough to have yet. She gasped audibly.* What is with all these look-a-likes? Ohmigosh! Are you Teddy? You look JUST like Christian Bale in that movie Little Women! *She hurried over and gave him a huge hug.* Wow! You're real!

*looks keenly at the forward young woman.* "Yes...I'm real..." *he says, some what bewildered at being dragged so abruptly from his wangsting.*

*She hugs him again, then grabs his face and stares into his eyes.* Yep, I'm positive! Don't you even worry about Jo, it'll all work out. And yeah, there's that whole thing with Beth, but you'll get over it. Tell Meg and John good luck with their twins, and tell Amy hi. And... *She thinks for a moment.* Hmmm. Oh, good luck with the business and the kid you'll eventually have. You should probably go ahead and find a good doctor. And don't forget to party it up at Plumfield! *She takes a breath, then goes and sits next to him before talking to the bartender.* I'll have a Shirley Temple on the rocks. *She turns back to Teddy.* So, what's up?

*Teddy frowns.* "Are you some kind of fortune teller?" *he shakes his head* "And don't talk to me about Jo." *He glances back up.* "Is Beth alright? Is she sick again? Brooke and Meg haven't got twins--well, not yet, anyhow...that I've heard...I mean...and Amy? I haven't seen Amy in an age." *He looks even more bewildered.* "...a little girl? You mean Arielle's going to have a daughter?" ((I felt so bad reading about little baby Beth at the end. I was all ))

*Kayte thought for a moment, trying to come up with a good reason to know this stuff, then gives up and starts answering the other statements.* Fine, if you're going ot be all touchy about Jo....but *I* know who she'll marry in the end. Beth isn't sick, exactly, but you can't go back to see her, got it? Or else you'll ruin everything. And John and Meg will have Daisy and Demi, who you will ADORE...And you and Amy made one heck of an adorable cou- I mean, cute friends. *She stops.* Arielle? Who on earth is Arielle?
((I know, it was sad. And Amy was making the sculpture or whatever? I was a little bit like 'Why did you name the baby Beth? NOOO! Now it's going to DIE!' and I think I was right...))

"Arielle is my wife," *said Laurie simply, knocking back his drink.*

*Kayte gasped, toppling backwards off the back of her seat.* WHAT?!?! No! That's not how the book goes! This is ALL WRONG! *She stood back up and snatched the glass and cigar out of his hands.* What would Jo or Beth or Meg or Amy think of you if you were drinkign and smoking and married to a pregnant woman? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?!?!

*Laurie looked ill.* "Alright, you're right about the smoking and drinking. I just--that was--I'm trying to forget Jo the best I can with this whole pleasure-trip-to-Europe, thing. Apparently I'm supposed to be enjoying life like this." *He looked at Kayte.* "But I married Arielle for a reason. She--we're friends. And a man, a stranger, took advantage of her and left her pregnant, and then her fiance at the time abandoned her for another woman. She was all alone, and we get along well enough...and she's such a nice girl I couldn't let her live with that kind of struggle and shame and..." *He exhales, frustrated.* "I was trying to be NICE. Do the right thing! I know it's not my responsibility, but I couldn't stand by and do nothing..."

*Kayte sighed* Yes, yes, that's all very nice and sweet and wonderfully noble of you to do, but dangit! You've wrecked a fantabulous book AND movie. Or maybe she has, but whatever. You and Amy were so cute together! And I'm sure Arielle could have moved back in with her family or something, but noooooooooooooooooo. Gah! The heck! *She bursts into overdramatic tears* Now if I ever DO get back to my time, there won't be a Little Women for me to watch or read or sing along to! I won't get to see Christian Bale every time I watch the movie! Do you understand that you and that girl have managed to take away quality drooling time? He's sexy! And now I'll ahve to watch Batman Begins instead, but I like Little Women better! Although I do like Batman Begins. He just doesn't have the amazing voice he has in Little Women, all soft and sexy and stuff. Exactly like you talk, actually. *She looked at him.* Hmmm. How to fix this...how to fix this...

*Laurie blinks, trying to take all this in and make some sense of it.* "...Amy? Little Amy? You've got to be kidding. I love her like...she's my little sister." *He takes his glass back from her and stares into it moodily.* "Jo was the only one for me...I'll never forget her...never, never!"

*Kayte swats his hands away from the glass.* Uh-uh, mister. You are not drinking any more. Got it? *She rolls her eyes at his angstyness* Get over yourself. You and Amy are a perfect couple. Absolutely lovely. So is your daugh- um, house! Your lovely house! And you and Jo will be buddies again if you'd chill out and stop being such an angst-head. *She takes a sip of her Shirley Temple.*

"Look, I don't know who you are or what you mean to do, really, but you're hardly being comforting OR helpful." *Laurie pushed away from the bar and went over to the piano in the corner of the bar ((it's more of a classy lounge, really. Of course there's a piano.)) He sat down and began to play Claire de Lune, trying to ignore Kayte.*

*She glared at him before slamming down her glass and walking over. Planting her butt firmly on some of the keys, she smiled triumphantly.* I am TRYING to help you turn your life back around to teh way it should be. So watch it, or I'll be forced to do something drastic. *She nods defiantly.*

*Teddy continued to play as best he could around the girl's hindparts.* "If my life were the way it should be..." *he shook his head, and, now trying a different tack, he grinned flirtatiously at the girl.* "Perhaps drastic action is just what is needed..." *he leaned back and looked at her mischeviously.* "Why don't you reform me?"
