The Melaswen Paradox (Read 329,394 times)

I knew sooner or later Rayne would walk in on Ciara and Trix! Though I hope that's who it is and not Noelle. That would be really bad.

I can't wait for Cassie's next move and to see what Vivian does. I'm sure she will come looking for Hadley and Nicholas eventually.

Great previews André DiMera.

Due to issues in my personal life, The Melaswen Paradox is pre-emptied all this week. Our hope is to resume normal service next week.

Chapter 538

SALEM UNIVERSITY
Ciara knocked on the door of the R.A.’s office and went in. Tawna looked up.
TAWNA: Ciara.
CIARA: Hey. Don’t mean to bug you, but I was just wondering if you’d had any time to look into that room transfer.
Tawna sighed.
TAWNA: Unfortunately, not yet. I would have, but I’ve been swamped lately. I will look into it as soon as I can, I promise.
CIARA: Okay. I was just wondering if maybe I could suggest someone that I’d like to bunk with?
TAWNA: You can, but I can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to get who you want.
CIARA: No, I get that. Just an idea.
TAWNA: Of course, I will look into whoever you suggest. Who’ve you got in mind?
CIARA: Trix, er, Beatrix Alamain.

DIMERA MANSION
In the basement, Bart was looking at his computer. Rex entered the room.
REX: Bart, we need to talk.
BART: Just a second. The wedding’s almost over.
REX: What wedding? What are you talking about? Bart, don’t tell me you’re watching that Australian soap opera again.
BART: Wait, wait, wait, this is the best part! Despite the back injury and all the general wedding craziness, they’re finally gonna be married. It’s so beautiful!
Rex grabbed the mouse and paused the video.
REX: Focus, Bart!
Bart wiped his eyes.
BART: I’m sorry, I always get so emotional at weddings.
REX: Look, after we talk, you can go back to watching it, but first, I need to know something. Where is Cassie?

ALAMAIN INDUSTRIES
NICHOLAS: Cassie DiMera?
CASSIE: That’s right.
NICHOLAS: I don’t understand.
CASSIE: I was playing you. It was like a game. Everything that’s happened since I started working for you, everything I said, everything I did, it was part of the game. And you were so fun to play with.
ANDRÉ: Thank you, by the way.
Nicholas’ eyes narrowed.
NICHOLAS: Thank me for what?
ANDRÉ: For your very generous donation, of course.
NICHOLAS: My what?
André chuckled darkly.
ANDRÉ: You’ll soon see. Come, Cassie. Our work here is done.
CASSIE: As you wish, father.
André put an arm around Cassie, and the two walked out. For a moment, all Nicholas could do was stand there in shock. Then, he ran out of the conference room, down the hall, and didn’t stop until he got to his office and found Vivian and Ivan. When he finally stopped running, he was out of breath.
IVAN: Mr, Alamain.
VIVIAN: Nicky, what’s going on? Ivan, don’t just stand there, get him some water.
IVAN: Right away, Madame.
Ivan left the room. Vivian put a hand on Nicholas’ shoulder and helped him to his chair.
VIVIAN: Now, just take a seat. There we go, darling. Now, what is happening? Why have all the lights gone off? I mean, I’ve heard of conserving energy, but this is a bit ridiculous.
NICHOLAS (out of breath): Hadley...you...you were right...about Hadley.
VIVIAN: Well, of course I was. You know I’m a good judge of character, But, of course, now’s not the time to gloat. What has that excuse for a woman done to you, darling?
Ivan returned with a glass of water. Nicholas drank some and took a deep breath.
NICHOLAS: André DiMera…
Vivian’s face grew dark.
VIVIAN: What about André DiMera?

[heroicmuse]

Vivian vs Andre will be a lot of fun. LOL at how Vivian said gloatingly that there was no time to gloat.

Aww Bart is a Neighbours fan. I don't know how any of the Dimeras put up with him though. He's never focused on what they're trying to do. LOL

Yeah, that's not gonna work out Ciara. Trix already has a roommate, one who I'm sure is aware of what the relationship between Trix and Ciara is and who is also an RA.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[Kpatch]

Bart is a stitch. Very creative scene.

I like seeing Nicholas turn to Vivian for support. Great scene.

Welcome back André DiMera.

[mae00]

I don't think that Ciara requesting the roommate of the other RA was a very good idea. For some reason, I don't think the two RA's like each other very much.

Ooooh. A Vivian vs Andre plot. I love it!!!

Bart always was a nitwit. I agree I don't know how anyone put up with him.

Chapter 539

SALEM UNIVERSITY
Tawna typed something into her computer.
TAWNA: Hm. Nope, that’s not gonna work. As I’m sure you’re aware, Trix already has a roommate.
CIARA: No, I know she does. I was just wondering if that could be switched.
TAWNA: Doesn’t look like it. She’s sharing her room with Rayne, who’s also an R.A. Those rooms are bigger specifically because she’s an R.A. and needs more space. It was just luck of the draw for Trix to be placed with her.
CIARA: Well, what if Trix and my roommate switched? She could move into my room, and Noelle could move in with Rayne. Though, I wouldn’t wish Noelle on anybody, to be honest.
Tawna sighed.
TAWNA: I’d have to talk to both of them and see if they’re agreeable. I’m not sure that they will be, particularly Rayne. Let me talk to them and see what they think.
CIARA: Cool, thanks.
TAWNA: No problem.
Ciara walked away.

DIMERA MANSION
BART: Cassie? Man, it’s been a long time since I thought about her. Last time I saw her was months ago when the bossman sent her on that special assignment to seduce Nicholas Alamain.
REX: You mean that hasn’t finished yet?
ANDRE: Actually, it has.
Rex and Bart turned around as André and Cassie walked in. A panel slid behind them and faded to look like it was part of the wall.
REX: Cassie.
CASSIE: Rex.
Cassie and Rex walked over to each other and hugged.
REX: How’d it go?
CASSIE: Just as father knew it would. By the time I finished with Nicholas Alamain, he was eating out of the palm of my hands.
REX: Excellent.
ANDRE: Yes, Cassie here was magnificent in her role. She did very well. Now, onto the next phase of the plan.
BART: Genius! So, what is the plan, bossman?
ANDRE: All in good time, Bart. All in good time.
André chuckled darkly to himself.

ALAMAIN INDUSTRIES
VIVIAN: I knew it. I knew it was too good to be true!
Nicholas had just finished filling Vivian in about what André and Cassie had done to him.
VIVIAN: I could kill them both! The question is, how?
IVAN: You could always use the old staple, Madame.
VIVIAN: No, that wouldn’t do. Burying people alive is so 2010. Besides, after the last incident, I don’t want to have to deal with those cretins at the mortuary. Can you believe that the last time I bought a coffin with them, they charged me full price for everything? I mean, I’ve been one of their most loyal customers for ages. Surely you’d think they’d have a frequent members discount or something, but no.
NICHOLAS: I understand your frustration, Aunt Viv, but could we possibly get back to what we’re going to do about André and Cassie DiMera?
VIVIAN: Oh, of course, darling. Of course. Now, let’s just sit down and discuss our next move. Ivan, a refill on this tea, please. Bring Nicky some, as well.
IVAN: Right away, Madame.

[heroicmuse]

Oh Vivian... Lol. I was cracking up at her little speech. Now lets see her plan!

I want to know what Andre's up to.

I don't think Rayne will be cooperative with Ciara's plan.

Great chapter André DiMera

[Kpatch]

LOL at Vivian expecting a loyalty program discount.

[mae00]

Bwahahahaha!!! Vivian never fails to disappoint! Too funny about the loyalty and frequent member programs.

Bart, Bart, Bart. When will you ever learn that you are not privy to any part of the plan until it's time for you to know your role in it?

I don't see this room switch happening. Noelle is gonna out Ciara and Trix's relationship as soon as she hears about the room switch. Anyone else, I think she MIGHT have been ok with, but this.....nope.

Chapter 540

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
David and Scotty sat in the cafeteria.
SCOTTY: Thanks for joining me for dinner. Just wish it could be at the house.
DAVID: Hey, getting to have lunch with my dude, nothing could be better. Besides, I’m sure we’ll be able to have dinner at either your place or mine sometime soon.
SCOTTY: Yeah, when I’m not working second shift. Anyway, how are things with you?
DAVID: Not bad. Working the front desk isn’t my usual thing, but it pays.
SCOTTY: That’s good. So, how are things with Dr. Manning?
DAVID: Yeah, about that…
SCOTTY: You haven’t talked to her yet?
DAVID: We talk every time she goes by the front desk.
SCOTTY: You know what I mean, Dad.
DAVID: I’m getting there. I’m just working up to it. It’s not exactly easy, especially after everything that happened with Trish and Valerie.
SCOTTY: Dr. Manning isn’t Valerie Grant. As for Mom-
DAVID: I shouldn’t have gone there. I promised not to put her down in front of you. Sorry.
SCOTTY: I get it. But just because things didn’t work out with Valerie or Mom doesn’t mean they won’t work out with Dr. Manning.
There was a knock on the door of Marlena’s office.
MARLENA: Come in.
Philip walked in the door and closed it behind him. Marlena took off her reading glasses.
PHILIP: Hey, Marlena. Have you got a minute?
MARLENA: Of course I do. Take a seat.
Philip sat down across from Marlena.
PHILIP: I was just getting my annual physical. Saw you walking down the hall and thought I’d stop by for a minute.
MARLENA: Well, that’s no problem. What’s on your mind?
PHILIP: Well, uh, I know I’m not family, but I just wanted to ask, how’s Melanie?
MARLENA: Melanie is progressing. I cannot give you exact details, but I am pleased with her progress so far.
PHILIP: Good. That’s good. Can I see her sometime?

SALEM UNIVERSITY
That evening, Trix and Ciara walked into Trix’s room. Ciara put her clothes on the bed.
CIARA: You know, this is a really good idea to do this until Tawna is able to make the switch.
TRIX: I know. I’m glad you like it.
CIARA: I love it. And I love you.
TRIX: I love you, too.
Ciara and Trix kissed.
TRIX: You ready for tonight?
CIARA: Definitely! So ready!
Ciara and Trix kissed again. They walked over to the bed and turned the lights off.
TRIX: I love you so much.
CIARA: I love you, too.
Soon, the passion began. A few moments in, both girls heard a noise.
CIARA: What was that?
TRIX: Probably just some people throwing a party down the hall. Just ignore it.
CIARA: You don’t have to tell me, twice.
The girls continued making love, but the noise didn’t go away. Soon, they heard a creaking noise. Suddenly, the lights came on. Trix and Ciara scrambled to cover themselves.
TRIX: What the-
CIARA: Oh my god!
Rayne walked into the dorm.
RAYNE: Well, looks like I missed something big.

[heroicmuse]

Ugh. I knew that would happen eventually. Wonder what's gonna happen now. Ciara definitely won't be rooming with Trix.

I'm interested to see how Philip/Melanie progress. And David/Carly too.

Great chapter André DiMera

[mae00]

Trix and Ciara should have known they wouldn't be by themselves the entire night. It is Rayne's room too, regardless of what shift she has to work as the RA.
