Summary

Bruce gets out of bed and walks into the bar. Dionysus greets him and asks if he can help him. Bruce ask if Dionysus can bring his parents back. Dionysus doesn't know, and gives Bruce a milkshake before walking off to find out what he can.

Meg comes over to say hello. She asks where Bruce got the milkshake, and is slightly worried when Bruce tells her it was Dionysus. Dionysus returns, and reassures Meg that it is just a milkshake. Dionysus tells Bruce he has not found his parents, but says that if he waits, he can ask someone else who might know. Bruce decides to stay, but doesn't want to be alone, so he asks if he can stay with Snow White. Dionysus says yes, but that she is already asleep and he could give Bruce a key. Bruce is a bit worried about waking her, but Dionysus says that if their is trouble, Bruce can punch him in the nose. Unfortunately, Dionysus then remembers that Bruce won't be able to get into the House of Arch, so he suggests he stay with Lady Tere. Bruce agrees to this, and they introduce themselves.

Meanwhile, Lady Tere has come over. Meg says hello, and they talk about Meg's audition. Tere has been off judging Apollo and Hermes playing the lyre, but now that's she's back, she agrees to watch Meg's dance. Meg is a bit nervous about dancing in front of Bruce, but Tere says it's all right, so Meg begins. Tere watches and provides music, and Meg asks if she can record it. Tere says no, and Meg says that's all right. Meg finishes, and Tere says that it is lovely, but the end needs work. Meg agrees, then tells her that the Phantom has been to Milliways. Tere is worried, and wants to know what the Phantom was doing here. Meg says she doesn't know, because it is a Phantom from another story, and Tere feels pity for him. Meg then mentions that she is also in the other story, and she and Tere plot to take over the world.

Lady Tere also starts talking to Bruce. They exchange pleasantries, then Tere asks Bruce about himself. Bruce tells her, and mentions his parents are gone. Tere wants to know where they went, and Bruce answers, painfully. Tere sings to him, and then gives Bruce a hug, because he wants one. Bruce climbs into her lap, and she asks if he has somewhere to stay. He explains, and she says he can stay with her. She asks if he is ready for bed, and he says yes, so she takes him upstairs.

FIN.

Angsty enough for you?

Snow White would be happy to take in Bruce, if he still wishes. Should you return tonight prior to parentals yelling at me to turn the computer off, we can arrange things with Door. But it's your call.
