__________PART 15__________
*in a little Tarot Readings shop, on the other side of town.*
Sapphire: So, little Gummi. Tell me where you hid the goods, or it’s curtains for yeh.
Sapphire: I know you’ve got information. And I’ve got yer whole family in a ziplock baggie in the fridge.
Sapphire: Ah, the silent treatment, eh? Well if yeh wont be cooperative…
Sapphire: *bites the head off the gummi bear, and attempts talking with a full mouth* Sherves oo wite.
Sapphire: Ah! Customers!
Scarlet: Saph…
Sapphire: Oh, its you…
*Scarlet sits down at the table*
Sapphire: By GODS woman, what have you done to your hair?
Scarlet: They’re called curls.
Sapphire: It’s the color of dead grass.
Sapphire: No matter. Have some tea.
Scarlet: Sapphire, look, I…
Sapphire: You finally decided I was right, after all this time? And you’ve come crawling back to ask for forgiveness?
Scarlet: No, I - Saph, that’s stupid.
Sapphire: Maybe. So how’s the animal shelter?
Scarlet: Its great - but, I didn’t tell you I worked at an animal shelter.
Sapphire: So am I psychic, or do I just follow you around like a mad person?
Scarlet: The second is more likely…
Sapphire: You couldn’t have come here to pick a fight. Let’s have the cards tell us why you’re really here, eh?
Scarlet: If that’ll make you happy…
Sapphire: *begins shuffling the Tarot cards, and lines them up.* Hmm, lets see here…
Sapphire: Your past first… The Lovers. A strange card. Represents the meeting of the same minds. Could that be us, then, sister? It signifies betrayal, jealousy, as well as difficult decisions, and internal struggle.
Sapphire: Your present. The four of cups… signifies being self-absorbed and unaware of others’ feelings… Sounds like you, Scarlet… Of course, it may also signify one’s desire to change…
Sapphire: And your future. The five of cups, reversed. Upside down it means bright prospects, new alliances, and reunion. You’ve always had a bright future, Scarlet.
Scarlet: Sapphire, this is such a waste of time. All this hocus pocus nonsense…
Sapphire: I knew you would never change. I’d leave and let me pretend this meeting never happened, if I were you.
*Scarlet leaves*
Sapphire: Serves her right.
