I'm glad you think we wrote JR perfectly and that you enjoy having all the characters in the story. Silvie, I'm glad you love the story too. Finally I'm sorry it's taken me this long to start posting episode two. But here it is: [ATTACH=full]2044[/ATTACH] The newly reassembled Ewing family was gathered in Southfork’s living room. They were still in shock after Lucy’s revelation and no one was more shocked than Sue Ellen herself. Watching JR throwing her a hurt and angry glance Sue Ellen could feel a chill go down her spine, as she looked into his blue eyes. His eyes narrowed and he didn’t smile at her anymore. “Does she mean that awful movie that you showed me some years ago?” JR demanded to know as his eyes seemed to pierce right through hers.“I honestly don’t know JR,” Sue Ellen replied, the despair and confusion written all over her face. Miss Ellie asked puzzled, “Which movie?” “Um…” Sue Ellen looked down in shame and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. Oh no Miss Ellie was never supposed to know about the movie. She’s gonna be crushed when she finds out the truth about JR and me, she reflected, as the last thing she ever wanted to do was hurt the woman who’d been more like a mother to her than her own.Unfortunately her worst fears were soon confirmed by Lucy, “The one Sue Ellen and I were working on, the movie is about JR and Sue Ellen.” “Sue Ellen how could you release that movie to the public?” JR yelled, hurt by Sue Ellen’s betrayal. “You said that you would only release it if you were having a bad day…” he then added somewhat weakly, as he was searching out her hazel eyes for an answer. “But that’s just it, I haven’t released the movie to the public,” Sue Ellen denied it.But JR was too angry to listen to her so he went on, “Look I know that I haven’t treated you right all the time, but was it really necessary to air all our dirty laundry in public?”“No,” Sue Ellen shook her head.“I mean do you have any idea what this movie will do to Mama and John Ross?” “Of course I do, that’s why I never meant for it to be released,” Sue Ellen yelled. “You know I would never want to do anything to hurt or embarrass the Ewing Family,” Sue Ellen looked straight at JR.“And yet you released that movie?” “No, I didn’t,” Sue Ellen insisted. “JR you’ve got to believe me when I say that it wasn’t me who released that movie!”Seeing the tears well up in her eyes JR calmed down a little. “I believe you,” he finally said. “Still if you didn’t release the movie, who did?” JR asked before he cast an annoyed glance at his niece.“Don’t look at me, I didn’t release the movie. I just helped with the casting of Mitch and by telling some stories to Don when he was writing the script…” Lucy defended herself.Sue Ellen could feel her heart sinking by the mentioning of her husband. Yes of course Don! He always wanted to release the movie to make a quick profit… Sue Ellen bit her lip, as she made a mental note to have a serious conversation with her husband as soon as she got up to her room.But unfortunately for her she didn’t get the chance to retire quietly to her room before John Ross, who seemed to be thinking what she was thinking suddenly spoke up, “You know Mama, I bet you that it was that idiot Don who released the movie to the public…”“No John Ross! I am married to him and Don would never do something like that to me,” Sue Ellen defended her husband. Or would he? She then added mentally, as John Ross was mainly just saying out loud what she already suspected.“Wouldn’t he?” John Ross asked. “As I seem to recall you two having an argument about the movie just hours before we left England.”“Well we might have argued about the movie. Still that doesn’t mean that he’s actually released it…” Sue Ellen said hesitatingly.“Maybe not, but if you ask me I still think he has. I guess there’s only one way to find out for sure. Why don’t you call him and ask him about it?” John Ross challenged his mother and although Sue Ellen had planned to do just that in private she now found herself in a position where she had a hard time to say no. Because if she did everybody would know that she didn’t really trust her husband. “You know, I might do just that,” Sue Ellen said reluctantly. “Miss Ellie, may I use the phone?”“Of course,” Miss Ellie replied. “Teresa can you go and get the phone for Mrs. Sue Ellen?”“Yes Ma’am,” Teresa agreed and went and fetched the phone from the hallway table. She then put it in front of Sue Ellen and left.Sue Ellen dialed the number home and soon heard the two dial signals that meant that her call was getting through. Please don’t pick up, please don’t pick up, she prayed silently, as the last thing she felt like was talking to Don while the whole Ewing family observed her.But naturally he did pick up, “Lockwood residence.” “Oh hi Don, it’s me,” Sue Ellen greeted him.“Sue Ellen how nice of you to call,” Don said happily.“Yeah I thought that I’d just call to let you know that John Ross and I have arrived safely in Dallas.”“That’s nice. Even though I still wish you hadn’t left.”“I’m glad. So I guess that means that you really didn’t mean what you were saying the other day?”“You mean about getting a divorce?”“Yes.”“You’re right, I don’t want us to get a divorce. I was just angry because you wanted to go back to Southfork with John Ross. I mean after everything that JR’s put you through…” Don started saying.Looking at the Ewing family watching her every move Sue Ellen knew that it was time to ask what she’d really called for, “Oh that’s right, speaking of JR. I wanted to ask you something.”“Oh what’s that?”“Well you know the movie that we made…”“About you and JR, yes what about it?”“Well you know the funniest thing just happened to me when I got back to Southfork. You'll see Lucy just got back from Australia and she claims that she has seen the movie. How is that possible?”“Oh that’s what I was trying to tell you before you left…you know I always thought you wanted to release the movie, so I made a deal with a distribution company a couple of months ago and…”“You went behind my back?!” Sue Ellen exclaimed.“Well I guess you can say that, but I only did what I did because I thought that’s what we both wanted. Since when we worked on the movie you were all for releasing it…”“Well that was then. I thought I made it clear to you last week that I didn’t want to release the movie anymore…”“Yes I sort of gathered that but by then it was already too late. The movie had already had its world premiere in Australia and it opens up in England tonight.”“I can’t believe this," Sue Ellen felt like all the air had been punched out of her lungs. "All this time when you were nagging me to release the movie, you were just trying to seek my approval for something that you have already done behind my back?" She said in disbelief.  "It didn’t really matter what I said as you had already released the movie when you brought it up with me…” “That’s right and I am glad that I did too as we’ve already made a fortune off its opening weekend in Australia, Sue Ellen I can feel it, this movie is going to make us rich.”“Well it’s nice to know where you stand,” Sue Ellen said sarcastically. “I can’t believe that you released the movie even when you knew I was against it…”“But honey I only did what I did because…”“No don’t give me the bullshit that you thought you were only doing what I wanted to do,” Sue Ellen yelled at Don.  “Because you know that’s I lie. I mean I told you five years ago that I didn’t want to release the movie and I told you again last year when you brought it up. I guess this really proves what kind of a man you’re really are. You are nothing but a greedy little bastard Don…”“Hey there’s nothing wrong with wanting to make some money. I mean that’s just the way the world works. No one makes a movie and lock it up in a vault Sue Ellen! Everyone who works in this business wants to turn a profit and you know it.”“All I know is that a lot of people that I love are going to get hurt from that movie and right now I really regret making it.”“The only thing I regret about the movie is not having released it earlier. I mean if I would have known how much attention the Ewings would have gotten I would have released the movie several years ago,” Don said cheerfully.Listening to her husbands’ unsympathetic voice Sue Ellen could feel the tears spill over on her cheeks. How could I be so wrong about Don? Sue Ellen wondered silently. I thought that he’d never hurt me and look where that’s got me… she reflected as she was deeply hurt by all this. “I can’t believe I’ve been so wrong about you. I thought that I knew you. But I guess I really don’t as the Don I knew would never sell out his wife for money!” Sue Ellen yelled and her hazel eyes were flashing with anger.“Look Sue Ellen, I know you’re disillusioned when you love someone. But I never meant to deceive you. I mean I told you before the wedding that I’m not perfect. No one can be as perfect as you want people to be. No one Sue Ellen,” Don tried to defend himself.“So now you’re trying to tell me that I’ve brought this on myself, by asking for too much?”“Yes and why are you so upset for?” Don asked. “I mean I thought that anyone better than the Ewings were good enough for you and I’m better than them.”“Like hell you are!” Sue Ellen yelled. “The Ewings might be one hell of a family, but they’ve got something that nobody else got. They stick together when it really matters and that’s more than can be said about you!”“I’m sorry you feel that way.”“Well you are gonna be even sorrier if you don’t put an end to this movie before its US release. You hear me Don?” Sue Ellen yelled, before laying it out on the line for him. “I want this movie pulled from the cinemas before it ever reaches the American audiences…”“But Sue Ellen, the US release is already scheduled for next month and I am not sure it can be pulled at this point…”“Well you are going to do your darn best to make that happen…”“But the contracts that I’ve signed…”“Are made to be broken,” Sue Ellen cut him off. “Listen Don, I don’t care what contracts you’ll have to break or how much money they’ll sue us for as long as you’re stopping that movie, you hear me?” “I hear you but I really don’t want to pull the movie…”“But I do and you’ll better listen to what I want for a change and get that movie stopped because if you don’t and that movie ever premieres in the United States I will divorce you,” Sue Ellen threatened Don and JR who had done his best to eavesdrop on Sue Ellen’s conversation grinned, as that idiot Don was playing him straight into his hands.Don sighed heavily before he said, “No Sue Ellen, I realize that you are angry. But are you really gonna throw away every good year we ever had over something that happened in the past?”“Well that’s up to you Don.”“I really think that we ought to talk more about this. Why don’t you come home so we can try to straighten things out?” “No Don, I am not coming home now. I am staying at Southfork as planned, whether you’ll like it or not. If you want to talk you’ll have to come here and if you don’t stop that movie I really don’t think our marriage is worth saving,” Sue Ellen gave him an ultimatum.“But…”Sue Ellen had had enough and hung up the phone before he’d even had a chance to finish the sentence. Then she cursed to herself, “Damn you Don!” Before she looked up only to find eleven pair of eyes observing her.“Whew I guess we don’t have to wonder who released the movie anymore,” Lucy said lightheartedly, in an attempt to lighten up the tense mood in the room.“No it’s pretty obvious that Don did, just like I said that he would have,” John Ross gloated. “Look Sue Ellen for what it’s worth, I’m sorry for bringing up the movie. I thought that it was you who had decided to release it,” Lucy apologized. “No that’s okay Lucy, I would have found out that Don had released the movie sooner or later anyway and at least now I found out before it reached the USA,” Sue Ellen reasoned. “Yeah let’s hope that it never does,” Mitch agreed. It got uncomfortably silent for a moment before Rebecca spoke up, “Mommy there’s one thing I don’t understand about Aunt Sue Ellen’s phone call.”“Rebecca what did I tell you about eavesdropping?” Pam tried to lecture her daughter.  “That it’s not polite to eavesdrop,” Rebecca said innocently. “Still I wasn’t eavesdropping I mean the way she was yelling we could all hear what she was saying right?”“Right,” Bobby agreed.Sue Ellen’s face went pale as she realized that everyone, including JR had just heard her threatening to divorce Don. Yikes, if Don and I ever divorces the last person I want to find out about it is JR…God he’ll make his move faster than a cobra and I am not sure I am strong enough to resist him, Sue Ellen reflected, as she looked down.“So what did she mean when she said that the Ewing’s are one hell of a family?” Rebecca asked innocently. “Oh God,” Sue Ellen sighed. ”I really did say that now, didn’t I?”“Yes you did,” Clayton confirmed.Sue Ellen’s cheeks turned red in embarrassment as she said distressed, “I’m sorry Miss Ellie. I didn’t mean to insult you or anything. You know if you’d want me to go back home to England I can leave…”  “Nonsense Sue Ellen we’d all like for you to stay. Besides how can I be angry with you for telling the truth?” Miss Ellie said reassuringly. “I know us Ewings can be hard to live with at times. But we do stick together when it really matters.” “Yes and now when that god damn awful movie’s been released we really need to stick together,” JR agreed.“But I’m not a Ewing anymore…” Sue Ellen said hesitatingly. “And neither am I as I’m divorced from Bobby,” Pam reminded Sue Ellen. “And I know that JR would want nothing more than to throw me and Rebecca right off this ranch if he could but I’m not gonna leave again unless Bobby tells us to go and neither should you.”“Yes that’s true, no one’s asked you to leave Sue Ellen,” Bobby said. “Okay you might be right.”  “You know they are Mama. Besides I don’t want you to leave. I like it when we’re all here together,” John Ross said pleadingly. “So do I,” Miss Ellie agreed. “Sue Ellen and Pam, I know that you are both divorced from my sons but I still consider you as family.”“Thanks Miss Ellie, it feels good to hear you say that,” Pam smiled warmly at Miss Ellie.“Yes thanks Miss Ellie. But I still feel bad about the movie. If you want to I can go out and denounce it in public,” Sue Ellen offered. “No there’s no need for you to do that, in fact I think doing that will only draw more attention to it," Miss Ellie reasoned, "So I think the best thing we can do now is stick together and I’d like it for you and JR to be nice to each other while you’re staying here. I think that your staying here during a time of crisis will show people that whatever is in that movie is not true. Or else you wouldn’t be here now, would you?”“I guess so.”“I know so,” Miss Ellie smiled reassuringly.“Yeah and you should know that you have mine and Mitch’s support,” Lucy smiled before turning to her husband. “Well honey perhaps we should start looking for a good hotel to stay at?” “Don’t even think about it Lucy. I’d like for you and Mitch to stay here at Southfork,” Miss Ellie insisted. “Your room is yours as long as you’d want it!”“Thanks grandma, but I am not sure if Mitch wants to stay here,” Lucy glanced concerned at her husband.But he just smiled at her, “Well if it makes you happy we can stay here.”“Okay so I guess that means that we’re staying,” Lucy smiled. “Good then that’s decided,” Miss Ellie smiled too before turning to their maid, “Teresa can you carry up Lucy and Mitch’s luggage to Lucy’s room?”“Yes Mrs. Farlow,” Teresa replied and left.“Well it looks like I’ve got my family back together again and you know how happy that makes me,” Miss Ellie smiled. “Now like I was saying earlier this really does deserves a toast,” Miss Ellie raised her glass. “To our family may nothing break us apart again,” Miss Ellie proposed the toast and the whole family exchanged smiles as they all joined in on the toast and drank to their new beginning.</blockquote>
