[QUOTE="Karin, post: 73585, member: 57167"] [SIZE=4]In town at the Multiplex people were arriving for the premiere of [I]A Family Affair,[/I] which was the movie Sue Ellen had made with Don Lockwood. A limousine stopped by the start of the red carpet. Don Lockwood got out and smiled and waved at the gathering press. At the same time Cliff, Afton and Becky came walking down the street towards the start of the red carpet. [/SIZE] “This is so exciting,” Becky beamed, “An actual movie premiere!” “Yeah but what movie are we watching Cliff?” Afton asked. “Oh it’s a family drama. I think you’re gonna recognize the story!” “Excuse me?” Afton gave Cliff a questioning look but before Cliff had a chance to explain anything Becky asked in an excited tone of voice, “Where are the movie stars daddy?” “Oh I don’t know but let’s go and say hello to the director!” Cliff said. “Don!” Cliff walked up towards Don and they shook hands. “Barnes,” Don said. “Glad you could make it!” “Of course,” Cliff said. “This is my daughter Becky and her mother Afton.” “Oh how very nice of you to come,” Don said looking pleased. “Have we met before?” Afton asked. “Yes I do believe so. I am Sue Ellen’s husband,” Don said. “Really?” Afton shifted uncomfortably. “So is Sue Ellen here?” “Sadly no,” Don shook his head. “She did not feel well today,” Don lied through his teeth. “Excuse me I better talk to some more press.” Don left and Afton turned to Cliff, “How do you know Don Lockwood?” But Cliff didn’t have the time to answer because now the press recognized them. A reporter called out to them, “Mr. Barnes, Mr. Barnes can we have a word with you?” “Of course,” Cliff smiled and started talking to the reporter. Afton sighed until a microphone was thrust in her face, “Miss Cooper, nice to see you. Are you excited to see this film?” “Yes of course. Me and my daughter are very happy to be here!” “Glad to hear. So how do you feel you’re being depicted in the movie?” “I’m sorry what?” Afton asked surprised. “The character based on you. Do you feel it’s an accurate portrayal?” Afton laughed nervously, “I am not in this movie. You must have me mixed up with someone else.” “But you do know JR Ewing don’t you?” The reporter asked. Afton looked even more confused, as Marilee Stone suddenly appeared from out of nowhere and said, “Well don’t we all.” “Marilee,” Afton said in a chilly tone of voice. The reporter then lost interest in Afton and turned to Marilee instead, “Mrs. Stone being a business woman what is it really like working with JR?” “Well…” Marilee started talking to the reporter and Afton gave her a look that could kill, as she didn't know what she hated most, having her moment in the spotlight stolen by someone else or the fact that it was Marilee Stone.
