Title: Dodgies in Victoria Date: 6-03-2000 == please don't archive == Dedication: To Tarzan, because he rocks as does the movie that D and I finally got to see!! Authors Notes: You should be more afraid this time me thinks. ~*~*~ Dodgies in Victoria Suz ~*~*~ ~*~ Where we left them last time -- The Pub, where else? ~*~ "So are we going to talk to Kylie?" Adam put his beer on the table and turned to Dash. "I'm not sure that I'm up for it." "What do you mean? You've spoken to a girl in an igloo, another on a bathroom floor and those weird ones in Melbourne." "But Kylie seems..." "What?" "Dodgy." "And those other ones weren't?" ~*~ Somewhere in Moe with Sim, just a bit drunk ~*~ ~*~ Somewhere in Moe with Sim, even more drunk ~*~ ~*~ Yes, we're still in Moe, and yes we're still drunk and yes, we're still with Sim she's resting. ~*~ ~*~ Mt. Thomas, not quite as drunk. ~*~ "I'm going to talk to her." "Who?" Maggie and PJ had finally arrived, late as usual. "Kylie." "This is the one who wasn't really pregnant isn't it?" Dash nodded to Maggie. "Yeah, I think Pippa had her baby." "Pippa, now she's the sometimes blonde sometimes brunette one in the igloo in Canada right?" "No, that's Rachael. Pippa is the sometimes blonde sometimes purple-haired one that has three different phone numbers." "I thought that was Vanessa." "No, she just has 3 different phone lines in the one house. Pippa has about 3 houses." "Oh." ~*~ Back in Moe, still drunk ~*~ I've just been told I should replace Moe with Warny, but they're not pregnant so I can't. ~*~ Mt. Thomas, The Pub ~*~ "Chris?" Kylie turned to her temporary boss. "Why do they keep looking at me?" "Who?" Kylie pointed to the table of coppers. "Oh, I think they're just trying to figure out your whole pregnancy thing." "Fair enough," Kylie shrugged. "Maybe I should go and sort this out." ~*~ Melbourne, in the car, hanging on tight. ~*~ "I MIGHT NEED YOU TO HOLD ME TONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT..." D cringed in the back seat as Suz and Vanessa continued to ruin any enjoyment D may have once derived from the Savage Garden song. ~*~ We're in Moe, we're drunk, but we've lost Sim ~*~ I still can't pretend its Warny because as far as I know nobody's pregnant... ~*~ Back in Mt. Thomas -- Kinda like judgement day for Kylie ~*~ "Excuse me?" Kylie approached the table. "Hi, Kylie right?" Adam took another sip of his beer as Dash picked up her orange juice. "Yeah," she pulled up a seat. ~*~ Melbourne, hanging on in the car ~*~ "I don't wanna play netball tonight." Suz was winging. "It's okay," D was calm. "You don't have too, today's Wednesday you play on Thursday nights hun." Vanessa laughed and floored it before the train gates came down. ~*~ Moe, where's Sim? ~*~ If you're wondering where the plot to this whole thing is, I haven't found it yet. I think it went with Sim, wherever she went... ~*~ Mt. Thomas ~*~ "So I really don't know where the whole obsession with Wizz Fizz came from." Kylie took a sip of an un-alcoholic drink. "Kylie?" Chris called her from the bar. "Vanessa is on the phone for you. They can't find Sim." Kylie was at the bar in a shot. "Ness?" ~*~ Melbourne ~*~ "Kylie hasn't seen her, maybe she's on her way here?" "We could call her mobile." "We could... but Neighbours is on in a minute." "Maybe after Neighbours then." "Henry!" "Wizz Fizz?" "Milo?" "Maybe it's Sim?" ~*~ Moe ~*~ "Has anyone seen Sim? She's wanted on the phone." Heads shook all round. "Isn't she drunk?" "I thought she was with D." "Again?" ~*~ Melbourne ~*~ "It wasn't Sim I take it?" Vanessa shook her head and jumped on the couch as the ad break ended. "Maybe we should ring her place or something?" D became quite worried. "We could..." Vanessa trailed off as Guy re-appeared on the screen, Suz was soon to follow. ~*~ Mt. Thomas, the station ~*~ "Should we be worried that she's missing?" "I don't know. She should be fine but I am getting a little worried." ~*~ Mt. Thomas, still... Nick's wandering ~*~ Nick was searching for the missing Simone. There was no particular reason that she would come to Mt. Thomas but with the high crime rate in the area, you never really know. Nick approached Tony Timms who was waving his arms around and moving back and forth as though he was mowing the lawn. "Timsy, what the hell are you doing?" "The lawnmower. This band is fantastic." "Who are they?" "Sweethearts of Swing." "So why is there a guy up there?" ~*~ Melbourne, several hundred phone calls later ~*~ "I don't know where she is. I've rang K-Mart, her house her mobile, the pubs even Mt. Thomas, no one has seen her." "So what do we do?" "We could alert some parents. But Vanessa's aren't here." D scratched her head in deep thought. "Her parents are never here." Suz grabbed another packet of Wizz Fizz and began flipping through a stack of photos. "Maybe Henry could help?" "He's not a sniffer dog Ven." "But he's funky!" ~*~ We'll leave Vanessa protecting the "cool-ness" of her dog for a sec, I wonder what Adam and Dash are up to? ~*~ ~*~ Mt. Thomas... well d'uh! ~* "Are you finished yet Dash?" Adam was whining behind her. She'd been hogging the computer for the last hour and he was dying to play a game. "Look what I've found!" "What, have you found Sim?" Dash shook her head. "No, I've found this really cool site for that new show 'Above the Law' the URL is http://above-the-law.tripod.com it's so funky!" "Cool!" There was a moment of silence between them and Adam placed his hand on her shoulder. "Dash?" His voice became quiet. She turned her head to face him and they were just centimeters apart. ~*~ The Imperial ~* Tee hee. I'm just such a tease! ;-) ~*~ *sigh* the station ~*~ Adam leant forward and kissed her. [Happy now???] ~*~ Warny, we haven't been here yet ~*~ "OOOOOO!!! It won't come out! Just get it out! NOW!!" Her voice screamed with anticipation. "I can't, it's too big!" "What do you mean it's too big? How can anything like *that* be too big?" "It just is... OH!" He sat down exhausted. "Can't we try again?" "Give me a few minutes, after that last effort I'm beat, aren't you?" "I didn't feel a thing." She sat down looking disappointed. ~*~ Melbourne, about 6 hours later ~*~ "Who's that?" Suz, D and Ness were sitting watching Above the Law at D's house when the doorbell rang. The three girls walked to the door during the commercial break. "I GOT IT!" As they opened the door they found a grinning Sim. "Come have a look!" They walked down the driveway to find Sim's car sitting out the front of D's with a large street sign through the back two windows. "Got what?" "My sign!" = The End = Prologue: ~*~ Melbourne ~*~ They went back inside to watch the end of Above the Law and then went and admired the sign for a while. ~*~ Mt. Thomas, The Station ~*~ Adam and Dash walked out of the station hand in hand. ~*~ Queensland ~*~ Pip picked up the phone and dialed a random number. ~*~ Mt. Thomas, the pub. ~*~ "So yeah Maggie and PJ are together." Kylie breathed out heavily after her long-winded explanation of what was actually happening in Mt. Thomas ~*~ That igloo in Canada ~*~ Rachael was sleeping soundly because of the dodgy time difference. = Finis! = *sigh* that was hard work I'm never trying that again. Unless of course some one writes me an Above the Law fic... Its called bribery, black mail. Whatev, it won't work.
