MacFisto reclines in the lounge intent on finishing the cosmopolitan she was working before all of the commotion began, upon taking a long sip, and glancing over the rim of the glass, she notices BonaPhisto has snuck into the room, and is sitting motionless in the corner...
She slowly approaches and as she does, notices Bona is sobbing softly to herself, MacFishto kneals before her, and gently places a reasurring hand on Bona's knee, and offers her a red silk hankey...
Bona: Thank you dah-ling
Macfishto: What is the matter dear? Silly question, I know what is the matter...forgive me dear, a better question would be, would a willing ear be of any use to you?
Bonaphisto: You know, I was considering crossing over for him... you know, switching sides... There's something in that Larry... a depth and a beauty that showed me that there has to be more to life than this. *gestures dismissively to her clothes and the overall glam* Mackey was only saying goodbye! And I tried so hard to resist him... he just kept coming on and on... he knows just how to get to me. *chuckles a little* He always has.
MacPhishto: Come, now dear...everything will be fine. Would you like another martini?
Bonaphisto: *waves the offer away* No... I've had enough to drink tonight... *her voice trails off wistfully*
*Larry, having heard the entire thing, enters suddenly and walks up to Bonaphisto. He wipes the tears off her face with his own tear-stained hands*
Bonaphisto: Larry, I'm sorry... *this is all she can manage to choke out before bursting into hard sobs again*
Larry: I know, love. I know. *he takes her in his arms and she continues to sob on his shoulder* I know this is going to be hard for you... but I'll help you.
*without warning, Larry reaches up and takes Bonaphisto's horns off. She trembles violently suddenly, and then goes limp in his arms. A bright white light consumes the entire room, and Bonaphisto is entirely enveloped in it. She falls to the floor in one limp heap and Larry rushes over to help her. She has changed, her white leather ensemble gone and replaced with a long white silk dress and her once blonde hair has brightened to an almost golden hue. She opens her eyes slowly and rises from the floor.*
*BluePhisto and MacPhisto, distracted by the sudden light, enter the room and see Bonaphisto standing there, glowing with radiant light. Her beauty has been enhanced tenthousand fold. MacPhisto's eyes widen momentarily. Larry kneels at her feet, looking up at her in awe and newfound love. Her glow dims and fades to almost nothing.*
BluePhisto: You haven't become... that's not an angel...
Bonaphisto: No, not an angel. Only human.
BluePhisto: Why not an angel, darling?
Bonaphisto: Ah, Bluey, dear. That's the thing. Angels and Devils can see and effect everything. Where is the adventure in that? Being human makes things so much more enjoyable. *she falls into Larry's waiting arms, and MacPhisto's eyes fall and he tightens his hold on Bluey.*
*Larry runs a hand across her face and for the first time, Bonaphisto experiences what it's like to FEEL. She jumps at the new sensation, then settles again.*
Bonaphisto: Is this what Love is like?
Larry: *smiles at her*
Bonaphisto: Well then you have a lot to teach me...
*Larry picks her up and carries her out to his Harley. MacPhisto's thoughts follow them back to Larry's waiting room, where Larry takes her inside and almost knowingly, winks and disappears inside. MacPhisto sighs and turns back to Bluey. They head back to his bedroom, and for now, all is peaceful.*
