To David, Love Marilyn (DT & the kids series)

Chapter 3

"Ready to go?" Marilyn asks, as she emerges from her room, wearing a silver backless gown with a plunging neckline. "Stop gaping!" she scolds David , before adjusting his bowtie. They arrive at the venue of the party. All the famous faces from Hollywood are gathered there & all eyes are on the new visitors & of course, on Marilyn's shockingly low neckline! "Ladies & gentlemen, I'd like to introduce our guests & my new friends-David, Rose, Rory & Ellie! They're time-travellers!" she introduces, proudly. Unfortunately, no-one believes her & laughs her off! She's close to tears. "I thought that they'd believe me! I mean, this is Hollywood, where anything's possible, right? How dare they laugh?!" she furiously mutters. "No-one takes me seriously, u know? They think I'm some dumb blonde slut!" she exclaims, turning towards the balcony. She leans forward against the railing & weeps. "I thought so too...until I met the real u! The Marilyn Monroe who believed in a crazy guy who claimed to be a time traveller, the smart bookworm/ dreamer Marilyn Monroe & the sci-fi loving Marilyn Monroe! I've realized that there's a childlike, non-glamorous Marilyn Monroe hidden underneath all this glamour...& I'd like to dance with her right now!" David consoles her, before clasping her pale white palm in his & leading her to the dance-floor. A sniffling Marilyn wipes away her tears & blushes. She shudders as he places his hand on her exposed back. As they waltz around the ballroom, she realizes that she's completely smitten by the Scotsman!
