Paul Wendell, each reportedly worth around twenty-six billion dollars at the height of the fall out are finding most of it gone.  Truly a story of Goliath being taken down.  But they are not alone.   The de la Vega Group of Spain which was also particularly hard hit is now fighting off a hostile take over bid from the DelSol Group of Mexico.  And countless others are feeling the effects of a crooked executive team and their greed.  Criminal cases have been slow to proceed . . .” Several cars line the drive way of Southfork.  Inside everyone’s dressed for the ball.  John Ross talk with Juan Carlos and Mateo by the bar in the living room.  Jack and Amy work the room separately as if a campaign function.  Lucy walks in the room with Mitch on her arm and introduces him to a few friends.  John Ross says to Juan Carlos and Mateo, “I’m glad they figured out a way to make it wirk.”Mateo says, “Mitch in New York.  Lucy in Dallas.  Travel back and forth occasionally.”“Seems to be the formula.”   John Ross then says, “Excuse me,” and walks across the room. “Lucas.  Huda.  Glad you could make it.”Huda says, “Thank you for inviting us.  I’m told the hottest ticket in town is the Southfork cocktail party before the Oil Barons Ball.”  “Well that would be Lucy’s doing.  Is your father coming?”“No.  He kinda wants to keep his distance from Southfork.”“Your sister?”  “I think she’s going straight to the ball from the airport.”  “Shame.  Get you two a drink?” Lucy and Mitch walks up to Juan Carlos and a group of people gathered with him an Mateo which includes Bill and Hillary Clinton.  “Welcome to Southfork. Secretary Clinton.  Governor Clinton.”  Hillary Clinton says, “Thank you for inviting us. You have a lovely home.”“Thank you.  It was my grandparents.  My grandmother’s family have lived here for many generations.  And I suspect we have many more to go.  This is my x-husband, Doctor Mitchell Cooper.”  “Mitch please.”  Jack says to Amy, “They’re friends of the DelSol’s.  And that’s Juan Carlos’s wife and son and his son’s date and Mateo’s date.”  “Well that’ll be a cozy little table.”  Slowly but surely a hush comes over the gathering as Ellie appears at the top of the stairs in a stunning black and white silk dress, wrapped around her bare shoulders, high in her long neck, split thigh high on one side, gliding along the floor as she descends.  At the bottom Steven holds out his hand to accompany her.  Walking through the living room everyone greets her.  Coming to her father he kisses her cheek and says, “This is my date, Elena Ford, she’s Chairman of Ford Motor Company.”“Nice to meet you.  Your father’s told me so much about you.  Went to New York University.  That’s my alma mater.”“Oh really.  What a small world.”  Everyone arrives at the Four Seasons in Dallas. People gather around tables, the Ewing’s right next to the Krebs’.  John Ross hugs his Aunt Donna and shakes his Uncle Ray’s hand.  Then he kisses Margret’s cheek and and shakes her husband’s hand.  Then he says, “Governor,” shaking George Bushes hand.  Glad you could make it.  “Laura, you look beautiful.  You’ll have to save me a dance or two.”At the Wendell table Charlotte takes a seat held out by her much younger date.  “Paul, this is Doctor Petrio Giannilli.  Petrie, this is my brother Paul Wendell.   His current wife Beth Leland.  They don’t even bother to change their names anymore.”  Beth and Paul look offended.   His daughter Jolie and her date Dan Luce.”  Dan looks shocked and Jolie smirks.   Why she’d bring that vermin is beyond me.  And his son Paul and his date, what’s her name.”“Karin Lee.”  “What ever.  Don’t bother remembering their names.  Like their father their partners won’t be around long.”  Petrio says, “Most of us are not fortunate enough to be married for over forty years.  Matt Cantrell was a bit of a legion.  He built Billcore into one of the world’s largest mining comianies.”Announcing to the table, “Petrio is a geology for Billcore specializing in rare earth.”   Sue Ellen stands from the lead table to the podium and welcomes everyone.  “No matter where I am, their are certain Dallas events I will always return to.  And what an evening with old friends and family this always is.”  She waves says, “And you too Marilee.   Any way like my husband JR use to say, ‘anything worth having is worth going for - all the way,’ and tonight we went all the way.”</blockquote>
