An SNL Love Story

Chapter 2

Erin spent the night at Andy's house, and the next day she went home. As she was doing her homework, Bill called to apologized.

'I don't know why I'm forgiving you,' she said. 'In my opinion, you didn't do anything wrong. You never lied. Your wife doesn't know, does she?'

'No, and I don't plan on telling her.' Bill said.

'I still can't believe you're married.' Erin said. 'You don't seem like the kind of guy that would do that. If Andy ever got married in the next 10, no 20 years, I'd be surprised.'

'Yeah, me too.' Bill replied.

'Are we still, together?'

'Yeah, I mean, if you don't hate me. I still like you, a lot.'

'I don't hate you Bill, I-, I love you.' She scrunched her eyes up at the word, but didn't regret saying it.

Bill was quiet and Erin wondered if he reciprocated the feeling.

'It's okay if you don't feel the same way. I know you can't love two people and I don't mind being second.'

'Erin, you are too understanding.' Bill replied.

The next day after school she drove to work. When she arrived she saw Andy, and they walked in together.

'I am thinking of doing another "Laser Cats" with Bill,' He said. 'I was wondering if you would like to write it.'

'I'd love too.' Erin replied and smiled. 

Andy and Erin were in her office when Bill entered.

'I'm sorry I'm late.' He said

While writing the "Laser Cat's 3" script they ran into a problem.

'What if we have someone else be in it?' Andy suggested.

'What do you mean?' Bill asked.

'What if the writer says that it's good, that way Lorne will believe them.' Andy said. 'Why would Lorne even watch it if he knew it would be "Laser Cats" again?'

'I get it,' Bill said. 'You have his best writer telling him it's a great movie and that she herself wrote it. Of course he would believe her.'

'And who do you think should play the writer?' Erin asked.

'I thought you would.' Andy said.

'Me?' Erin laughed. 'His "Best Writer"?'

'You are.' Andy said with a shrug.

'It's true, either that or the audience is drinking more before the shows.' Bill added. 'They react more now that you've started writing.'

'Really?' Erin asked and raised her eyebrows.

'Yeah, you're the perfect person the play the writer.' Andy said.

They wrote the film and began shooting it. Erin sort of took over as assistant director and insisted on being there when they shot and edited it. "Laser Cats 3" was a huge success and Erin became popular.

Football season was nearing an end and the Super Bowl was coming up. Bill and Andy were talking about how excited they were that their team was playing. Erin overheard their conversation and said, 'Yeah, they're playing my team.'

'You watch football?' Bill asked.

'Yeah, sometimes.' Erin said. 'One of my moms is into it.'

'Do you want to come over to watch the Super Bowl with us?' Bill asked.
