They were standing kissing on the patio when they suddenly heard giggling coming from behind them. When they broke apart they could see Rebecca and Margaret standing there. John Ross asked, “What are you doing here?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “We’re playing detectives like Nancy Drew,” Margaret replied.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah and right now we’re following you,” Rebecca grinned.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Cute, now go follow someone else instead,” John Ross said annoyed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “And if we don’t?” Rebecca asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Then I’ll wring your little necks. You’ve been pestering us all day,” John Ross said threateningly to Melissa’s surprise. “Now shoo,” the girls realized that John Ross was seriously pissed and ran back into the house.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Let’s go somewhere else, since here we certainly can’t have any privacy,” Melissa said. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Good idea, so how about going to the barn?” John Ross suggested.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Sure I love horses,” Melissa said.John Ross leant forward and kissed Melissa again. “Me too but that’s not why we’re going there…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What do you mean?” Melissa asked confused.But John Ross didn’t have the chance to answer before Christopher came out of the house and asked, “John Ross, have you seen Rebecca and Margaret?”“Yeah we’ve seen them alright, they were spying on us!” John Ross complained. “What happened I thought you were supposed to watch them?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I was, but they got away from me when I was reading Margaret’s damn book!” Chris explained.“Still couldn’t you have looked after them a little better?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Hey don’t blame me!” Chris said upset. “I was actually reading that stupid book and you ought to be glad that I agreed to look after them in the first place!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well I am grateful for that, it’s just that the kids have been pestering us all afternoon,” John Ross sighed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know they sure can be annoying,” Christopher said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “That’s the understatement of the year,” John Ross complained when a car engine was heard in the background.Chris who was standing facing the driveway looked up and smiled happily, “Wow, you’re never gonna believe who’s here!”John Ross turned around just in time to see Cliff Barnes get out of the car. Oh f***! Not Cliff Barnes too, John Ross thought. Cliff got out of the car and Melissa turned to John Ross and said, “Great, now who’s that?”“Cliff Barnes, he’s my dad’s arch-enemies,” John Ross sighed.“Oh really so what’s he’s doing here then?”&nbsp; Melissa asked puzzled.But John Ross didn’t have the time to answer before Chris exclaimed, “Uncle Cliff!” Christopher ran up to Cliff and gave him a huge hug.Cliff hugged him back warmly, “Hello Christopher. So how’s my nephew today?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Just fine thanks,” Christopher said and they continued to small talk.Melissa turned to John Ross and asked him in a puzzled voice, “Why did he just call him Uncle Cliff?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Because he is his uncle,” John Ross explained. “You’ll see Cliff’s Pam’s half-brother and Pam’s my Uncle Bobby’s ex-wife.”Melissa frowned as she pondered the absurdness of that relationship when JR came out of the house. He said in a threatening voice, “Barnes, what the hell are you doing here?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh I just thought that I’d stop by to visit my sister and her children.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well she isn’t here…”“Not here?” Cliff asked. “But where is she then?”“Bobby took her with him on a business trip to Houston, so get lost huh?” JR said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh no, not until I get the phone number to their hotel, it’s urgent that I’ll speak to Pam,” Cliff insisted.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What do I look like a number service?” JR said sarcastically. “Look it up in the phone book Barnes!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I can’t without a name,” Cliff said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Mom and dad are staying at the Omni Houston Hotel,” Christopher replied. “If you wait here, I can get the number for you.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Thanks Christopher,” Cliff smiled.Christopher disappeared into the house at the same time as Sue Ellen came out of the house.&nbsp; Sue Ellen was surprised to see that they’d got company, “Cliff?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Hi Sue Ellen, its sure is nice to see you.”“You too, but what are you doing here?”“Oh just visiting my nephew and niece,” Cliff replied. “By the way I just saw your husband earlier today.”Sue Ellen’s jaw dropped at that statement, “Don’s in town?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah,” Cliff nodded.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What is he doing here?” Sue Ellen asked.Noticing the grim expression on JR’s face Cliff smiled before he told a half truth, “Oh I think he’s just here to bring you home to England with him!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “He is?” Sue Ellen asked pleasantly surprised.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah he sure has missed you a lot, couldn’t stop talking about you,” Cliff said, with a fake smile. “He said the house hadn’t been the same since you left and…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; “Enough with the bullshit Barnes,” JR interrupted Cliff as he sure didn’t like what he was hearing.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “It’s not bullshit, I’m telling the truth,” Cliff objected.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well that would be a first,” JR muttered. “So why don’t you piss off and mind your own business instead of…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh look who’s talking?” Cliff yelled. “I would gladly mind my own business if you only stayed out of mine!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What’s that supposed to mean?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Like you don’t know, you stole my Gold Everest 840 from me Ewing!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So what if I did?” JR said challengingly. “That’s business Cliff, but when you are going after my wife it’s personal…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well that’s just it, Sue Ellen’s not your wife anymore Ewing. She was smart enough to divorce you,” Cliff taunted JR. “And you’ve got no one to blame for that but yourself.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I’m warning you, you’d better get off this property now or I’ll have someone kick you out.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Don’t bother Ewing, I’m leaving as soon as I get the number to my sister’s hotel. I need to get hold of Pam so I can smooth things over with Afton. She won’t even speak to me because of your stupid movie.”Cliff’s words hit Sue Ellen hard, as she started to realize just why Don was really in town. Just to make sure she’d heard him right she asked in disbelief, “My movie?”“What?!” JR exclaimed. “Do you mean to tell me that awful movie’s out in the states?”&nbsp; “If you mean the one that’s based on your life with Sue Ellen, it sure is,” Cliff confirmed.“Oh shit!” Sue Ellen cursed.JR turned to Sue Ellen, “So you didn’t know about this?”“Of course not,” Sue Ellen defended herself before she apologized, “I’m so sorry JR. I never meant to embarrass you.”“Well if that’s so why did you do that awful film?” Cliff asked.“What, don’t tell me that you didn’t like the movie either Barnes?” JR asked.“I hated it,” Cliff sighed. “You see I brought Afton and Becky to the premiere this afternoon expecting it to be good. But I had forgotten all about your dirty little affair with Afton, so now Afton’s pissed with me and it’s all your fault!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh come on Barnes if you’re dumb enough to bring your child to watch that piece of shit how can it be my fault?” JR argued.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Damn right it’s your fault. If you had treated Sue Ellen better she’d never made this movie and then Afton wouldn’t have seen it and…”&nbsp;“Oh no Barnes don’t blame it on me, you brought this one on yourself!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Like hell I didn’t, this is all your fault Ewing!” Cliff yelled.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well let me tell you something and that is that you’re getting more and more like that drunk looser who was your father for every day. He always blamed everything on us Ewings and so are you!”That got Cliff really mad, “Don’t you dare insulting my daddy!” Cliff finally threw the first punch at JR who was all too happy to hit back and soon was the fighting in full swing between them. Before long they fell into the pool and continued their fighting there.Miss Ellie, Clayton, Christopher, Rebecca and Margaret came running out of the house and Miss Ellie screamed, “Stop it!”“Yeah knock it off you two!” Clayton walked into the pool and tried to keep JR and Cliff apart. JR and Cliff were yelling at each other and then eventually Clayton managed to stop the fight and JR, Cliff and Clayton came up from the pool.&nbsp;“Get the hell out of Southfork Barnes!” JR yelled.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I’d be glad to get out of this hellhole. Christopher ask Pam to phone me once she gets back, ok?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Sure Uncle Cliff!” Christopher promised and Cliff left.When he’d left John Ross turned to Melissa and said, “So where were we?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I think you were going to show me your horses,” Melissa reminded him, before she looked at her watch. “But I think it’ll have to wait until next time. Mike’s picking me up any minute now.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh that’s too bad since I was really looking forward to showing you our barn.”“You mean your horses right?”“Right, so when will I see you again?” John Ross asked.“I don’t know, maybe tomorrow?”“Tomorrow would be great,” John Ross smiled.“So I’ll show up at two?” Melissa asked. “Sure that works for me,” John Ross grinned.“So we’re going out riding then?” Melissa asked.“Yeah if we can make it out of the barn,” John Ross laughed.Melissa frowned, “What do you mean?”“Oh just that the barn is really great for, you know?”“No I don’t know.”“Oh so you haven’t ever done it in a barn before?” John Ross asked seductively.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What?” Melissa’s jaw dropped as she finally realized what he was after. Melissa gave John Ross a slap on the cheek.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Hey what was that for?” John Ross yelled puzzled.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “For being a slime John Ross,” Melissa yelled.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So does that mean our second date is off?” John Ross asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Damn right, you can forget about you and me, because that’s never ever gonna happen. Not now, not ever!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But I don’t understand you’ve been leading me on all afternoon so I thought you wanted to…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well you thought wrong, I don’t,” Melissa yelled offensively. “What do you take me for John Ross, a slut?”Seeing the fury in her eyes John Ross knew he’d made a mistake. “No of course not, look I’m sorry darling for pushing so hard. I mean you’re obviously not easy. So why don’t we slow down. Go out on a second date, I really like you Melissa,” John Ross pleaded with her.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I thought I liked you too, hell John Ross all afternoon I’ve put up with your family doing one weird thing after another. But I think to myself, it’s okay, it’s his family but he’s different. He’s lived in England. There they know how to treat a lady,” Melissa cried.“Well I do know how to treat a lady,” John Ross said defensively. “Why don’t you wait here and I’ll get you your flower?” John Ross asked when a car pulled up on the drive.Melissa smiled relieved when she recognized her brother Mike. “No,” Melissa shook her head.“But don’t you want the flower?” John Ross asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No, I don’t want it or anything else that has to do with you, your perverse parents or the rest of your weird family. I never wanna see any of you ever again,” Melissa yelled before she picked up her bag and rushed off.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Thanks everyone, you’ve just ruined my date!” John Ross yelled.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “We did?” JR asked. “Uh-uh, it was that Barnes fault!”But John Ross didn’t listen to him, as he yelled angrily, “Like hell it was, it was me, I lost her for thinking with my pants, why do I have to be so much like you dad?”John Ross ran into the house to be alone and JR asked puzzled, “What did he mean by that?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “He meant that if you haven’t cheated on me, I wouldn’t have left you,” Sue Ellen clarified for JR.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You’ve told him that?” JR asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Sue Ellen nodded, “Yes.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Maybe we’d better go talk to him?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No it’s no use, he wants to be alone,” Sue Ellen said. “Besides we have worse problems than that John Ross’ date went wrong.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What do you mean?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Don released the damn movie,” Sue Ellen spelled it out to JR.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know, so what are you gonna do about it?” JR asked Sue Ellen.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well not go back to England with him that’s for sure.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You mean that your marriage is over?” JR lightened up.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I think so,” Sue Ellen reluctantly revealed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well darling, that’s the best news I’ve had all day,” JR grinned.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So you’re not angry with me?” Sue Ellen asked.“Hell no, I’m angry with Don,” JR replied.“But I don’t understand. That movie will embarrass your entire family.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Our family Sue Ellen, you’re still a Ewing at heart,” JR reminded her.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I guess you’re right,” Sue Ellen admitted. “So what are you gonna do about the movie?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh don’t worry, I’ll come up with something, since nobody crosses JR Ewing and gets away with it,” JR said in a voice that meant business and Sue Ellen looked at him appreciating, as for the first time in years she stopped denying what her heart had known all along. That she was still a Ewing. No matter what had happened in the past, she knew that when this family would need her she would be there for them. Just like they would be there for her and that was a nice feeling…To be continued…</blockquote>

[QUOTE="Karin, post: 75320, member: 57167"] Thank you for the feedback Ms Southworth. :) As for the dream season what I really liked about it was how Sue Ellen hit rock bottom. There's no doubt in my mind that Linda should have and maybe would have won the Emmy for that performance if it hadn't turned out to be a dream! Also the reconciliation with JR was believable since she had faced her demons and grown as a person and that impressed him and made him fall in love with her again...:kiss: The Down syndrome storyline was also really well made with Donna and Ray. That moment when they realize their baby have down syndrome is so emotional and heart-breaking. JR and Pam working at Ewing Oil was fun too. What I really disliked about that season however were Pam and Mark. Then as for season 10, I didn't have a problem with Jenna's pregnancy. Maybe because I knew about Lucas existance and that he was Bobby's son from the first season I watched the show. So I simply accepted it. I have a feeling I would have felt differently about it if I had watched Dallas from the beginning and followed Bobby and Pam for some 9 years prior to it. I guess Lucas only exists in Dallas because Priscilla was pregnant in real life that year and they wrote it into the show. Anyway I love season 10. :) Then as for Charlie, don't worry she will mature when she starts working. Right now she still thinks like a college girl when life is a party! :jolly: Okay so on to tonight's [B]update: [/B] Back at Southfork had Melissa and John Ross gotten tired of swimming and had changed back into their regular clothes again. They were standing kissing on the patio when they suddenly heard giggling coming from behind them. When they broke apart they could see Rebecca and Margaret standing there. John Ross asked, “What are you doing here?” “We’re playing detectives like Nancy Drew,” Margaret replied. “Yeah and right now we’re following you,” Rebecca grinned. “Cute, now go follow someone else instead,” John Ross said annoyed. “And if we don’t?” Rebecca asked. “Then I’ll wring your little necks. You’ve been pestering us all day,” John Ross said threateningly to Melissa’s surprise. “Now shoo,” the girls realized that John Ross was seriously pissed and ran back into the house. “Let’s go somewhere else, since here we certainly can’t have any privacy,” Melissa said. “Good idea, so how about going to the barn?” John Ross suggested. “Sure I love horses,” Melissa said. John Ross leant forward and kissed Melissa again. “Me too but that’s not why we’re going there…” “What do you mean?” Melissa asked confused. But John Ross didn’t have the chance to answer before Christopher came out of the house and asked, “John Ross, have you seen Rebecca and Margaret?” “Yeah we’ve seen them alright, they were spying on us!” John Ross complained. “What happened I thought you were supposed to watch them?” “I was, but they got away from me when I was reading Margaret’s damn book!” Chris explained. “Still couldn’t you have looked after them a little better?” “Hey don’t blame me!” Chris said upset. “I was actually reading that stupid book and you ought to be glad that I agreed to look after them in the first place!” “Well I am grateful for that, it’s just that the kids have been pestering us all afternoon,” John Ross sighed. “I know they sure can be annoying,” Christopher said. “That’s the understatement of the year,” John Ross complained when a car engine was heard in the background. Chris who was standing facing the driveway looked up and smiled happily, “Wow, you’re never gonna believe who’s here!” John Ross turned around just in time to see Cliff Barnes get out of the car. [I]Oh f***! Not Cliff Barnes too, [/I]John Ross thought. Cliff got out of the car and Melissa turned to John Ross and said, “Great, now who’s that?” “Cliff Barnes, he’s my dad’s arch-enemies,” John Ross sighed. “Oh really so what’s he’s doing here then?” Melissa asked puzzled. But John Ross didn’t have the time to answer before Chris exclaimed, “Uncle Cliff!” Christopher ran up to Cliff and gave him a huge hug. Cliff hugged him back warmly, “Hello Christopher. So how’s my nephew today?” “Just fine thanks,” Christopher said and they continued to small talk. Melissa turned to John Ross and asked him in a puzzled voice, “Why did he just call him Uncle Cliff?” “Because he is his uncle,” John Ross explained. “You’ll see Cliff’s Pam’s half-brother and Pam’s my Uncle Bobby’s ex-wife.” Melissa frowned as she pondered the absurdness of that relationship when JR came out of the house. He said in a threatening voice, “Barnes, what the hell are you doing here?” “Oh I just thought that I’d stop by to visit my sister and her children.” “Well she isn’t here…” “Not here?” Cliff asked. “But where is she then?” “Bobby took her with him on a business trip to Houston, so get lost huh?” JR said. “Oh no, not until I get the phone number to their hotel, it’s urgent that I’ll speak to Pam,” Cliff insisted. “What do I look like a number service?” JR said sarcastically. “Look it up in the phone book Barnes!” “I can’t without a name,” Cliff said. “Mom and dad are staying at the Omni Houston Hotel,” Christopher replied. “If you wait here, I can get the number for you.” “Thanks Christopher,” Cliff smiled. Christopher disappeared into the house at the same time as Sue Ellen came out of the house. Sue Ellen was surprised to see that they’d got company, “Cliff?” “Hi Sue Ellen, its sure is nice to see you.” “You too, but what are you doing here?” “Oh just visiting my nephew and niece,” Cliff replied. “By the way I just saw your husband earlier today.” Sue Ellen’s jaw dropped at that statement, “Don’s in town?” “Yeah,” Cliff nodded. “What is he doing here?” Sue Ellen asked.

Just to make sure she’d heard him right she asked in disbelief, “My movie?” “What?!” JR exclaimed. “Do you mean to tell me that awful movie’s out in the states?” “If you mean the one that’s based on your life with Sue Ellen, it sure is,” Cliff confirmed. “Oh shit!” Sue Ellen cursed. JR turned to Sue Ellen, “So you didn’t know about this?” “Of course not,” Sue Ellen defended herself before she apologized, “I’m so sorry JR. I never meant to embarrass you.” “Well if that’s so why did you do that awful film?” Cliff asked. “What, don’t tell me that you didn’t like the movie either Barnes?” JR asked. “I hated it,” Cliff sighed. “You see I brought Afton and Becky to the premiere this afternoon expecting it to be good. But I had forgotten all about your dirty little affair with Afton, so now Afton’s pissed with me and it’s all [I]your [/I]fault!” “Oh come on Barnes if you’re dumb enough to bring your child to watch that piece of shit how can it be my fault?” JR argued. “Damn right it’s your fault. If you had treated Sue Ellen better she’d never made this movie and then Afton wouldn’t have seen it and…” “Oh no Barnes don’t blame it on me, you brought this one on yourself!” “Like hell I didn’t, this is all your fault Ewing!” Cliff yelled. “Well let me tell you something and that is that you’re getting more and more like that drunk looser who was your father for every day. He always blamed everything on us Ewings and so are you!” That got Cliff really mad, “Don’t you dare insulting my daddy!” Cliff finally threw the first punch at JR who was all too happy to hit back and soon was the fighting in full swing between them. Before long they fell into the pool and continued their fighting there. Miss Ellie, Clayton, Christopher, Rebecca and Margaret came running out of the house and Miss Ellie screamed, “Stop it!” “Yeah knock it off you two!” Clayton walked into the pool and tried to keep JR and Cliff apart. JR and Cliff were yelling at each other and then eventually Clayton managed to stop the fight and JR, Cliff and Clayton came up from the pool. “Get the hell out of Southfork Barnes!” JR yelled. “I’d be glad to get out of this hellhole. Christopher ask Pam to phone me once she gets back, ok?” “Sure Uncle Cliff!” Christopher promised and Cliff left. When he’d left John Ross turned to Melissa and said, “So where were we?” “I think you were going to show me your horses,” Melissa reminded him, before she looked at her watch. “But I think it’ll have to wait until next time. Mike’s picking me up any minute now.” “Oh that’s too bad since I was really looking forward to showing you our barn.” “You mean your horses right?” “Right, so when will I see you again?” John Ross asked. “I don’t know, maybe tomorrow?” “Tomorrow would be great,” John Ross smiled. “So I’ll show up at two?” Melissa asked. “Sure that works for me,” John Ross grinned. “So we’re going out riding then?” Melissa asked. “Yeah if we can make it out of the barn,” John Ross laughed. Melissa frowned, “What do you mean?” “Oh just that the barn is really great for, you know?” “No I don’t know.” “Oh so you haven’t ever done it in a barn before?” John Ross asked seductively. “What?” Melissa’s jaw dropped as she finally realized what he was after. Melissa gave John Ross a slap on the cheek. “Hey what was that for?” John Ross yelled puzzled. “For being [I]a slime [/I]John Ross,” Melissa yelled. “So does that mean our second date is off?” John Ross asked. “Damn right, you can forget about you and me, because that’s never ever gonna happen. Not now, not ever!” “But I don’t understand you’ve been leading me on all afternoon so I thought you wanted to…” “Well you thought wrong, I don’t,” Melissa yelled offensively. “What do you take me for John Ross, a slut?” Seeing the fury in her eyes John Ross knew he’d made a mistake. “No of course not, look I’m sorry darling for pushing so hard. I mean you’re obviously not easy. So why don’t we slow down. Go out on a second date, I really like you Melissa,” John Ross pleaded with her. “I thought I liked you too, hell John Ross all afternoon I’ve put up with your family doing one weird thing after another. But I think to myself, it’s okay, it’s his family but he’s different. He’s lived in England. There they know how to treat a lady,” Melissa cried. “Well I do know how to treat a lady,” John Ross said defensively. “Why don’t you wait here and I’ll get you your flower?” John Ross asked when a car pulled up on the drive. Melissa smiled relieved when she recognized her brother Mike. “No,” Melissa shook her head. “But don’t you want the flower?” John Ross asked. “No, I don’t want it or anything else that has to do with you, your perverse parents or the rest of your weird family. I never wanna see any of you ever again,” Melissa yelled before she picked up her bag and rushed off. “Thanks everyone, you’ve just ruined my date!” John Ross yelled. “We did?” JR asked. “Uh-uh, it was that Barnes fault!” But John Ross didn’t listen to him, as he yelled angrily, “Like hell it was, it was me, I lost her for thinking with my pants, why do I have to be so much like you dad?” John Ross ran into the house to be alone and JR asked puzzled, “What did he mean by that?” “He meant that if you haven’t cheated on me, I wouldn’t have left you,” Sue Ellen clarified for JR. “You’ve told him that?” JR asked. Sue Ellen nodded, “Yes.” “Maybe we’d better go talk to him?” “No it’s no use, he wants to be alone,” Sue Ellen said. “Besides we have worse problems than that John Ross’ date went wrong.” “What do you mean?” “Don released the damn movie,” Sue Ellen spelled it out to JR. “I know, so what are you gonna do about it?” JR asked Sue Ellen. “Well not go back to England with him that’s for sure.” “You mean that your marriage is over?” JR lightened up. “I think so,” Sue Ellen reluctantly revealed. “Well darling, that’s the best news I’ve had all day,” JR grinned. “So you’re not angry with me?” Sue Ellen asked. “Hell no, I’m angry with Don,” JR replied. “But I don’t understand. That movie will embarrass your entire family.” “[I]Our[/I] family Sue Ellen, you’re still a Ewing at heart,” JR reminded her. “I guess you’re right,” Sue Ellen admitted. “So what are you gonna do about the movie?” “Oh don’t worry, I’ll come up with something, since nobody crosses JR Ewing and gets away with it,” JR said in a voice that meant business and Sue Ellen looked at him appreciating, as for the first time in years she stopped denying what her heart had known all along. That she was still a Ewing. No matter what had happened in the past, she knew that when this family would need her she would be there for them. Just like they would be there for her and that was a nice feeling… To be continued… [/QUOTE]
