The Unlikely Couple
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the, characters from Charmed or Smallville as they all belong to Aaron Spelling & Alfred Gough & Miles Millar except for Melissa who’s my own creation.
Authors Notes: This stories like the Smallville season 8, episode “Committed” but my own little version of it with a few added or changed scenes. It’s set a month after “A Night In With Ollie & Melissa”.
Extra Note: In this episode a couple of newly engaged friends of Oliver’s go missing after their kidnapped by a strange figure at their engagement party. Oliver thinks it might be the work of “The Wedding Hijacker” who’s already kidnapped 3 other couples in the past few months so he goes to Melissa’s for help to see if she can find who took them. The two of them pretend to be an engaged couple & set of to see if they can do that but get kidnapped themselves & forced to take a lie detector test to see if they love each other which brings up some interesting issues later on.
The Butterfly Club San Francisco A Month Later
A lot of people are round a table there with drinks in their hands listening to Oliver Queen make a toast to an engaged couple called Tom & Becky.
Oliver: Well thank you everyone for coming. Tom & I have both known each other since we went to excelsior many years ago & one of our promises was that we wouldn’t get married until one of us found our soul mate. Well that’s now happened when Tom meet Becky.
The two couple look at each other sweetly then back at Oliver who continues his speech.
Oliver: & if there were any two people who were meant to be together it’s those 2. Which’s more than, I can say about the relationships I’ve had.
Everyone laughs at Oliver’s comment.
Oliver: Anyway so if everyone would raise their glasses.
The crowd including Tom & Becky do that.
Oliver: & propose a toast to Tom & Becky may all your days be filled with love & happiness to Tom & Becky.
Everyone: To Tom & Becky.
They all take a sip from their glasses then go their separate ways. Tom & Becky come up to Oliver.
Tom: (Smiling) Hey man great speech.
Oliver: (Smiling) Thanks.
Tom: Sorry to hear about you & Lois.
Oliver: Yeah well it weren’t meant to be so.
Tom: You probably just didn’t find the right person yet.
Oliver: Probably yeah anyway this isn’t about me it’s about you & Becky.
Tom: Yeah I know I can’t believe I found her.
Becky: Oh sweetie.
The two kiss for a second. Oliver smiles at that.
Tom: Hey maybe I can hook you up with someone here Ollie you never know maybe your soul mates here.
Oliver: No but thanks. After my failed relationships I’m just happy being single right now.
Tom: If you say so mate.
Oliver: Yeah I just wanna have a good time here.
Tom: Okey dokey.
A DJ on stage starts playing music on stage & Tom holds his hand out to Becky.
Tom: Come on babe let’s dance.
Becky takes his hand & Tom swings her round then leads her to the dance floor.
Outside Butterfly Club Few Hours Later
Tom & Becky come out kissing & cuddling each other hotly. Tom presses Becky against the wall as they explore each other more instantly. They break apart.
Becky. Oh Tom you bad, bad boy.
They resume their kissing but feel a sharp pain as 2 gunshots are heard behind them releasing 2 tranquilizer darts into them. Feeling the effects take over them the 2 couples fall to the floor unconscious. A mysterious cloaked figure comes up & drags them away from the club leaving only Becky’s bracelet on the floor behind. A little later Oliver comes out searching for the young couple.
Oliver: Hey Tom, Becky your missing the party.
Seeing them not there he looks round for them.
Oliver: Tom? Becky?
Treading on something on the ground Oliver bends down & finds Becky’s bracelet there. Getting up he calls out for them again.
Oliver: TOM? BECKY?
He has a worried look on his face.
San Francisco PD Next Morning
Oliver still in his engagement party gears talking to Lieutenant Darryl Morris.
Darryl: & you’re sure they’ve disappeared?
Oliver: Yes I found this on the floor outside the club.
He gives Darryl Becky’s bracelet.
Oliver: It’s Becky’s bracelet. Tom gave it to her after they first meet.
Darryl: I know this sounds corny Mr. Queen but they could’ve just gone somewhere & had a little hanky panky & ended up back at their apartment as we speak.
Oliver: No there were tracks on the floor where they’d being standing as if they’d being dragged by someone.
Darryl: Are you sure it was dark.
Oliver: Yes I’m sure lieutenant Morris & the fact that other couples besides them have gone missing in the last few months should give you cause for concern.
Darryl: Alright Mr. Queen we’ll see what we can do.
He gives Oliver back the bracelet.
Oliver: Thank you lieutenant.
He gets up & leaves the police station.
Melissa & Victor’s Apartment
Melissa in the middle of the room eyes shut dressed in her yellow Lycra shorts & vest & in a handstand position lifts her right arm up & stretches it out right as she then moves her right leg out so it almost touches her right hand. Soft Irish music from “Lord Of The Dances” playing the background. Two people come down from the hallway & the front door unlocks revealing Oliver & Victor walking in.
Victor: I was just getting milk so.
The 2 of them see Melissa like that. Oliver looks fascinated at how vertical & upright she’s standing.
Victor: Hey sweetie you okay? Do you need any help?
The two of them go over to help her down but she stops them.
Melissa: That’s okay Grandpa I can get down myself thanks.
Moving her right arm & leg back into handstand position she slowly lowers herself back & stand taut & upright on the floor then places her arms down the side of her revealing her hot sweaty self.
Victor: Wow that was very stretching.
Melissa: Yeah just a little gymnastics. Keeps, me grounded & centred.
Oliver: Oh of course I do Yoga myself sometimes.
Seeing, Oliver Melissa smiles.
Melissa: (Smiling) Oliver hey.
Oliver: Hey Mel.
Melissa: Whaddya doing here?
Oliver: Seeing my friend but also because I need your help.
Melissa: Oh yeah why’s that?
Oliver: Last night at a friends, engagement party he & his fiancée went missing & all I could find was this.
He shows her the bracelet.
Melissa: Missing how?
Oliver: Well when I went outside the club to call them back in I saw drag mark tracks leading away from it.
Melissa: Have you, spoke to the police?
Oliver nods his head.
Oliver: (Nodding His Head) Yeah I talked to a lieutenant Morris.
Melissa: Oh Darryl yeah.
Oliver: & he said he’d see what he could do but the fact that other, couples like them have gone missing in the last few months I was worried & thought maybe you might be able to get something on it.
Melissa: Why you think this maybe linked to the “The Wedding Hijacker” who’s been in “The Bay Mirror” newspaper recently?
Oliver: I think so yeah but I don’t wanna do anything without concrete prove which’s why I was wondering if you could maybe get a premonition & see where who it is or where my friends maybe.
Melissa: I could try but it does depends if I get one or not.
Oliver: That’s fine whatever helps will be great thanks.
Melissa: Okay. Give me the bracelet.
Scrunching up the bracelet Oliver hands it to her.
Oliver: Here you go.
Melissa: Thanks.
Immediately she’s pulled into a premonition wherein projecting back she stands outside the front of a wedding shop called “Lonely Hearts Wedding Shop” then seconds later she’s pulled back to the future again.
Oliver: Mel you okay?
Melissa: I’m fine yeah unfortunately I didn’t see your 2 couples or the hijacker but I did see a wedding shop.
Victor: A wedding shop? That’s not much to go.
Oliver: Not necessarily.
He walks about the room trying to think then talks.
Oliver: The newspaper said the last 3 couples all went to a wedding shop & brought their dresses there.
Melissa: “The Lonely Hearts Wedding Shop”?
Oliver: Yeah. That’s where Becky was getting her dress from.
Melissa: So the shops the connection.
Victor: How?
Melissa: Well if the couples went there & disappeared soon afterwards then it’s safe to assume that whoever took them works at the shop.
Victor: But that could be anyone there.
Oliver: Which’s why we’d need to get into the shop & try & find that out.
Melissa: We?
Oliver: If we pretended to be engaged yeah you could try on some dresses whilst I did a little digging.
Melissa: But Oliver we’re best friends not a couple.
Oliver: Yeah but we’d only be acting & not a real couple right? Please Mel I’ve known Tom & Becky a long time I’d never forgive myself if anything happened to them & I couldn’t do something about it.
Melissa looks at Oliver sincerely then answers.
Melissa: Alright then I’ll help.
Oliver comes forward & hugs her ecstatically.
Oliver: Oh thanks mate you won’t regret this.
Melissa: I’m sure I will.
Wedding Shop Basement
Tom on the floor stirs round a little & holds his head in pain.
Tom: (Groaning) Ah! Becky?
He looks round for her & sees her a little way beside him. He goes over to her & tries waking her up.
Tom: Becky?
After a few seconds she slowly stirs around.
Becky: Tom?
Tom: Are you alright?
Pulling, herself up a little Becky answers.
Becky: I think so yeah. Where are we?
Tom: I don’t know.
A figure behind them cloaked appears & speaks.
Man: Dearly beloved we’re gathered here today to see if these two are truly meant to be.
Seeing the cloaked figure the 2 engaged people gasp.
San Francisco City
Oliver & Melissa are walking down it.
Oliver: Listen Mel I really appreciate what you’re doing for me thanks.
Melissa: That’s okay Ollie. I can see they mean a lot to you.
Oliver: Yeah I’ve known Tom since excelsior & we both promised we wouldn’t get married until we’d found our soul mates.
Melissa: & Tom found that in Becky.
Oliver: Oh yeah. If any 2 people were meant to be together it’s them.
Melissa: No I understand I mean me & Sam were soul mates as you’d call it. We’d both lost people when we were young & had more tragedy later on so it was only right we went together. We’d still be together now if my Aunts hadn’t died & the whole thing with the Source hadn’t happened.
Oliver: Do you 2 wish you could get back together?
Melissa: I don’t know I love Sam I always will but we both know that even if we tried some semblance of a relationship things would just happen to ruin that like they did before so we try best to keep away from one another unless it’s to do with Charlotte of course.
Oliver: Oh right.
Melissa: That’s not to say we’re not friends still though.
Oliver: No of course not.
Melissa: (Smiling) & I’ll always love Dean & his wise crack jokes.
Oliver: (Smiling) Yeah I can imagine.
They come up to wedding shop & stop.
Oliver: Oh well here we are lets go in so we?
Melissa: Okay.
Opening the door Oliver stands aside & lets Mel in.
Wedding Shop Basement
Footsteps approach Tom & Becky who are tied up to 2 chairs.
Man: The art of abduction is surprisingly difficult. It's easier when
I find couples together. It saves time.
Becky: Well, we'd hate to inconvenience you.
Man: It's no trouble at all. It's my duty.
Tom: What -- what is that?
Man: This is a lie detector. It's fairly harmless and not
complicated at all. In fact, when you get right down to it, it's
really quite simple. All it does is listen to your heart.
Tom: I guess you except us to believe that that’s harmless, too.
Man: No. This’s electricity. Electricity hurts.
Electricity zaps on the machine at the side of them.
Becky: So this’s how you get your kicks torturing innocent people?
Man: It’s not torture. I’m doing you a favour. Not everyone is
meant to be married. Countless couples rush headlong into
marriage, ignorant to responsibility of the burden of truth that
comes with a level of commitment.
Electricity zaps
Man: Those that are truly dedicated have no secrets. Let's warm
up with an easy question. Tom.
Click, electricity charging.
Man: Have you ever cheated on your fiancée before?
Tom: No
The hooded figure presses a button & sends a little shock wave
at Becky electrocuting her a bit.
Becky: Ugh!
Tom: Stop! Don't hurt her! I'm the one that lied! You hurt me!
Man: Lies don't hurt you! Lies hurt the ones you love! You be
honest.
Tom: (Breathing heavily) Becky look, it wasn't really cheating. I
mean, this -- this crazy woman -- she kissed me, & I had a
freaking' heart attack, and I wound up in the hospital.
Becky: I know. I know it wasn’t your fault.
Tom: Becky you’re the only girl that I’ve ever loved I swear.
He breathes deeply.
Man: That will do for now. Let's see what the bride has to say. I
wonder. How many lies is she hiding behind?
The 2 couples breathe heavily in front of one another.
Interior Wedding Shop Little Later
Oliver & Melissa come up to the counter & a lady comes over to them.
Lady: Hello can I help you?
Oliver: Yes we’re newly engaged & I want to buy the most gorgeous dress you have for my lovely bride here.
Lady: Oh that’s so sweet. Yes we have a varied selection for most brides. What sorter dress are we talking here? Do you have a style or particular colour you want?
Melissa: Not really actually I have no clue.
Lady: Don’t worry miss that’s what we’re here for to help you select the right one. Now if you’ll come with me.
She beckons Melissa forward.
Lady: Firstly we measure up so we can get your shape & size & then select the dress accordingly so if you just go behind there & I’ll do that.
She points to a dressing room where Melissa goes to. Whilst the lady does that Oliver looks round the shop trying to see if he can find any clues. A while later the lady comes out seeing Oliver looking round.
Lady: Having a look are we?
Turning round Oliver tries not to act suspicious in front of her.
Oliver: Just seeing what you’ve got yes.
Lady: That’s okay you are the one who’ll be paying for it of course. Right well I’ve sized Mel up & got her attributes so I’ll just get her some few dresses.
Oliver: Okay.
The lady goes round the shop & selects a few then takes them behind the curtains to the changing room.
Wedding Shop Basement
Tom & Becky are still there with the hooded figure.
Becky: Please don’t do this.
Man: You should be pleading with me to continue. If only someone had taken the time & done this for my wife & me.
Tom: Did you hook her up to your little machine also? Something tells me she didn’t just walk outta here herself.
Man: I cherished my wife Tom. Did everything for her & please her when we took our marriage vows & how does she repay me with one lie after another. She never knew but I could smell him on her.
Becky: So you killed her.
Man: Yes. The heart & mouth are not on the same page.
Getting up, he walks towards Becky.
Tom: Get the hell away from her.
Electricity charges on the machine.
Man: Now Becky have you ever cheated on your fiancée?
Becky: No.
Man: Excellent next question. Do you love someone else other than him?
Tom: Don’t answer him sweetie. Don’t give him the satisfaction.
Pressing the buzzer the hooded man activates the machine & shocks Tom a little.
Becky: Tom no!
Tom gasps a little.
Man: You fiancée isn’t the best person to be taking advice from at the moment.
He charges up the machine once more.
Man: Now I’m asking you one more time do you love someone else?
Becky looks at Tom for a few seconds then at the hooded man.
Becky: No.
Tom breathes heavily at that response.
Becky: I’ve only loved you & only ever will love you.
The hooded man laughs at that.
Man: Good. Congratulations then Tom & Becky I now pronounce you husband & wife.
Interior Wedding Shop
Lady: Okay Mel now you’ve got the 1st dress on come on out & see what you think.
Melissa steps out in a long white v neck ruffled dress that ruffles down at the bottom. Oliver looks a bit undecided about it.
Lady: Well?
Melissa: Not sure it’s too long ruffled & widespread out for me.
Lady: That’s okay try the next one on then.
Melissa goes back into the changing rooms & does that & comes back out in a plan shoulder less plain dress.
Oliver: That’s a little better not to spread out.
Melissa: Yeah but it’s too plain sweetie & I don’t like plain.
Lady: Okay go in & try the last one on then. I’ve saved the best till last.
Melissa goes & does that. Oliver waits patiently as Melissa tries on the last dress. A little while later Melissa steps out slowly in a low cut back & front little spread out wedding dress that has little flowering detail going all the way down the dress in a spiral shape. Melissa’s below shoulder length hair hugs her frame perfectly as the dress accentuates her slim figure. Oliver mesmerised at this just stands there with his mouth jaw open.
Lady: Okay what about that one?
Melissa turns round & looks at herself in the wide mirrors.
Melissa: It’s beautiful.
Oliver: It sure is.
Melissa turns round & smiles at Oliver a bit then turns back towards the mirror.
Lady: So you want that one then?
Melissa: Not sure yet we’d like to look around some other shops first & then decide.
Lady: That’s quite alright. When you do decide & you want to come back here then please do. Here’s our card.
She hands Oliver a shop card with their name & number on it.
Oliver: Thanks.
Lady: No problems. You can go get changed in there again if you want.
Melissa: Thank you.
She goes & does that. As the couple walk out the store a while later the hooded man not hooded anymore comes out from out the basement.
Man: Was that another couple that just went out?
Lady: Yes it was Melissa Hale & Oliver Queen absolutely charming they were.
Man: Really? Oh good that’s very good.
He looks at the couple who just turn left outside the door & walk off.
San Francisco City
Walking down the street the 2 friends talk.
Melissa: So did you find anything out?
Oliver shakes his head.
Oliver: Nope nothing.
Melissa: Meaning we’ll have to come back later when it’s closed up.
Oliver: What if it’s not the shop Mel I mean if I didn’t find anything.
Melissa: It’s the shop I wouldn’t have got the premonition otherwise would I.
Oliver: Yeah but what if you were wrong.
Melissa: My premonitions are always right Oliver I’m never wrong.
Oliver sighs.
Oliver: Fine we’ll come back later tonight when it’s closed then.
Melissa: Alright I’ll go to the police & see if Darryl’s found anything out.
Oliver: Okay then.
Tom & Becky’s Apartment
Tom & Becky are asleep on their bed. Tom stirs a bit.
Tom: Oh my god Becky, Becky wake up we’re okay.
Becky does that slowly & looks around.
Becky: Tom what happened?
Tom: The last thing I remember is feeling a sharp pain & then waking up in some basement & a hooded guy talking to us whilst we were hooked up to a lie detector machine. Told you we’d make it out okay.
Becky: It this that hooded man’s idea of some sick joke?
Tom: Um I’m goanna have to take credit for this but at least it wasn’t as creepy as earlier.
Becky: You know I don’t think I’d still be alive if I weren’t sitting across the room with anyone else there.
Tom: But we’re meant to be together because things like that don’t just happen to anyone.
Becky: No because we don’t have any secrets from each other.
Tom: We’d better call the cops & tell them what happened.
Becky: Okay.
San Francisco PD Later That Evening
Melissa walking out the station goes over towards her green Jeep liberty whilst talking on the phone to Oliver.
Melissa: Okay Ollie I talked to Darryl who said Tom & Becky are alright. They came into the police station after they woke up in their apartment & told them everything that happened they didn’t know who the person was as he was hooded but he did sound familiar to someone they’d spoken to at the wedding shop a few days ago. They said they’d been kept down the basement & were hooked up to a lie detector where he electrocuted them if they said the wrong answer. Listen I’m just going to the wedding shop now so when you get this message meet me there alright.
Hanging up her Motorola V8 Melissa gets her car keys out to open the driver’s door up but before she has a chance to do that she feels a sharp pain in her back as a tranquilizer dart hits her making her go weak.
Melissa: Son of a mean person.
Feeling its affects Melissa collapses onto the ground by her car.
Wedding Shop Basement Next Morning
Melissa head hung down wakes up & slowly gets to know her surrounding’s. Looking in front of her she sees Oliver tied to a chair & hooked up to a machine just like she is.
Melissa: (Worried) Oh my god Ollie. Are you okay?
Oliver: Except for being tied up like this great. Where the hell are we?
Melissa: My guess would be the basement under the wedding shop.
Oliver: What?
Melissa: I left a message on your phone last night telling you Tom & Becky are alright & that they’d gone to the police station & told them everything that’s happened.
Oliver: Tom & Becky are okay? Thank god.
Melissa: Yeah they must’ve past the test where others hadn’t.
Oliver: So what is this then some person’s sick joke?
The hooded man from earlier appears now in front them & charges up the machine.
Man: No joke Mr. Queen just a test.
Oliver: What kinder test?
Man: One.
He moves towards Melissa & comes down onto her.
Man: To see if you 2 are truly meant to be.
Melissa looks at him not scared like.
Oliver: Let her go!
The hooded man turns round & talks to Oliver.
Man: You must really love this woman to say that.
He turns back looking at Melissa traces a little outline on her face.
Man: So beautiful.
Melissa looks defiantly at him as he places his lips on hers & kisses her softly there a bit. Angry Oliver tries to free himself of his restraints but can’t.
Oliver: I said let her go!
Man: I will if you & she past the test.
Getting of Mel he goes over to the machine.
Man: Okay first question. Melissa have, you ever cheated on your fiancée?
Melissa: Of course not. Don’t be ridiculous.
Oliver feels an electric shock pulsate through him.
Oliver: (Groaning) Agh!
Melissa: Stop it your killing him.
Man: No your lies are.
Melissa: Alright, alright I take it back please just don’t hurt him again.
Oliver: Mel?
Melissa: I’m sorry Oliver when I said that I hadn’t had anyone in a long time because they died on me a lot. That part was true but after Brian.
Looking ahead some tears fall down her face.
Melissa: I was helping late at the club one evening clearing things up when someone grabbed me from behind & knocked me out. I woke up on top of the bar later naked & saw Sam raping me.
Oliver hearing this just goes wide eyed with shock.
Melissa: I tried getting of him but he was too strong & he um beat me up to a bloody pulp till I couldn’t move anymore. The thing was it wasn’t Sam but someone who looked like him exactly. When Sam found out he went hell bent ready to kill him. Piper, Paige & I managed to defeat him but the damage was done.
Oliver: Oh god Mel I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?
Melissa: You were my best friend I couldn’t do that & it was too painful at the time to.
Man: Oh isn’t that so sad. Okay next question.
Oliver: This won’t help you what you’re doing it won’t take your pain away.
Man: But I’m not doing this for me I’m doing this for you.
Melissa: What?
Man: The broken hearted are the walking dead. I’m just saving you both any unnecessary pain.
Oliver: Okay Sherlock this test means nothing to us alright we’re not a real couple
The hooded man moves over to Oliver & bends down towards him.
Man: Aren’t you?
Oliver looks over at Mel then back at him.
Oliver: No.
Groaning in pain Melissa cries out a little as she’s shocked by his comment.
Melissa: (Groaning) Agh!
Oliver: (Concerned) Mel? (Angry) Alright stop it.
Man: You did that with your lie Oliver not me. Okay next question.
He goes back over to Melissa.
Man: Deep down in your heart Mel underneath it all do you love this man?
Oliver: Just answer the truth Mel. Don’t outthink it.
Man: Do you love him?
Looking at Oliver, Melissa shakes trying not to admit the truth.
Oliver: Tell the truth Mel.
Man: Do you love him?
Looking at the hooded man Melissa cries & whispers.
Melissa: (Crying, Whispering) Yes.
Looking at her Oliver can’t believe his eyes.
Man: & do you Oliver Queen truly, utterly & completely love this woman?
Oliver looking at Mel tries to remain calm.
Oliver: Yes.
Man: Good. I now pronounce you Oliver Queen & Melissa Hale husband & wife. You are free to go.
He comes over to Melissa & frees her from his restraints.
Melissa: No nuts Sherlock.
Grabbing onto him Melissa head buts herself, forward causing him to stagger back unveiling his hood. Melissa grabs her forehead in pain a little.
Melissa God!
Oliver: (Concerned) Mel?
Getting up she goes over to Oliver & quickly unties him. Getting out the unmasked man grabs onto pull & Mel & pulls her back.
Oliver: (Worried) Mel?
Running over to the man Oliver tries grabbing him of her giving Mel a chance to swing round & kick him in the stomach sending him to the floor. Bringing his right hand forward Oliver punches him in the face knocking him out entirely. The 2 friends breathe heavily a bit.
Oliver: Mel are, you alright?
Melissa: I will be after a while.
Oliver: So you love me then?
Melissa feeling, awkward at that answers.
Melissa: (Awkward) Let’s just get outta here okay.
The two of them walk out basement room & go upstairs.
Melissa & Victor’s Apartment Some Time Later
Melissa sitting on the window seal looks out over the city thinking about what happened earlier on. The doorbell goes causing her to get of the window & go over to front door & answer it. Opening it up, she sees Oliver standing there awkward like.
Oliver: (Awkward) Hi can I come in?
Melissa: (Awkward) Sure yeah.
She walks away from the front door & walks into the middle of the room. Oliver closes the door behind them then goes over to her.
Oliver: How you doing?
Melissa: Okay I’ll get over it I guess.
Oliver: Yeah well the police have him now anyway so that’s okay. He’ll go down for a long time I’m sure.
Melissa: I truly hope so yeah.
Oliver: Mel listen, about what the guy said earlier about you loving me.
Melissa: (Awkward) I was just lying you know I mean it was a lie detector test.
Oliver: Yes but if you’d had been lying I would’ve got shocked wouldn’t I & the fact I didn’t only proves it & I saw it on your face also.
Melissa: Oliver, please.
Oliver comes up close & puts his hands on her face.
Oliver: Mel it doesn’t matter if you love me because I love you to.
Pulling apart Melissa walks away from Oliver.
Melissa: No this’s so wrong.
Coming up to her Oliver puts his right hand on her shoulder & talks.
Oliver: Why?
Turning round she answers him.
Melissa: Because we’re best mates Ollie & too much happens when I get into relationships with guys & I’d be devastated if anything happened to you.
Oliver: Yes I know what happened was horrid but the guy did make us see the truth. Okay I don’t usually last long in relationships but this one feels really different. I do love you Mel wholly utterly & completely.
Melissa: No Ollie we can’t.
Silencing her completely Oliver kisses her passionately on the lips. Lost in it all Melissa responds back wrapping her right hand in Oliver’s hand & her left hand round his slim waist. Picking her up wrapping her around him Oliver continues his assault on her. Not letting go Melissa pushes all, resistance down on herself & let’s go. The camera holds on them then fades.
The End.

The Butterfly Club San Francisco A Month Later
A lot of people are round a table there with drinks in their hands listening to Oliver Queen make a toast to an engaged couple called Tom & Becky.
Oliver: Well thank you everyone for coming. Tom & I have both known each other since we went to excelsior many years ago & one of our promises was that we wouldn’t get married until one of us found our soul mate. Well that’s now happened when Tom meet Becky.

The crowd including Tom & Becky do that.
Oliver: & propose a toast to Tom & Becky may all your days be filled with love & happiness to Tom & Becky.
Everyone: To Tom & Becky.
They all take a sip from their glasses then go their separate ways. Tom & Becky come up to Oliver.
Tom: (Smiling) Hey man great speech.
Oliver: (Smiling) Thanks.
Tom: Sorry to hear about you & Lois.
Oliver: Yeah well it weren’t meant to be so.
Tom: You probably just didn’t find the right person yet.
Oliver: Probably yeah anyway this isn’t about me it’s about you & Becky.
Tom: Yeah I know I can’t believe I found her.
Becky: Oh sweetie.
The two kiss for a second. Oliver smiles at that.
Tom: Hey maybe I can hook you up with someone here Ollie you never know maybe your soul mates here.
Oliver: No but thanks. After my failed relationships I’m just happy being single right now.
Tom: If you say so mate.
Oliver: Yeah I just wanna have a good time here.
Tom: Okey dokey.
A DJ on stage starts playing music on stage & Tom holds his hand out to Becky.
Tom: Come on babe let’s dance.
Becky takes his hand & Tom swings her round then leads her to the dance floor.
Outside Butterfly Club Few Hours Later
Tom & Becky come out kissing & cuddling each other hotly. Tom presses Becky against the wall as they explore each other more instantly. They break apart.
Becky. Oh Tom you bad, bad boy.
They resume their kissing but feel a sharp pain as 2 gunshots are heard behind them releasing 2 tranquilizer darts into them. Feeling the effects take over them the 2 couples fall to the floor unconscious. A mysterious cloaked figure comes up & drags them away from the club leaving only Becky’s bracelet on the floor behind. A little later Oliver comes out searching for the young couple.
Oliver: Hey Tom, Becky your missing the party.
Seeing them not there he looks round for them.
Oliver: Tom? Becky?
Treading on something on the ground Oliver bends down & finds Becky’s bracelet there. Getting up he calls out for them again.
Oliver: TOM? BECKY?
He has a worried look on his face.
San Francisco PD Next Morning
Oliver still in his engagement party gears talking to Lieutenant Darryl Morris.
Darryl: & you’re sure they’ve disappeared?
Oliver: Yes I found this on the floor outside the club.
He gives Darryl Becky’s bracelet.
Oliver: It’s Becky’s bracelet. Tom gave it to her after they first meet.
Darryl: I know this sounds corny Mr. Queen but they could’ve just gone somewhere & had a little hanky panky & ended up back at their apartment as we speak.
Oliver: No there were tracks on the floor where they’d being standing as if they’d being dragged by someone.
Darryl: Are you sure it was dark.
Oliver: Yes I’m sure lieutenant Morris & the fact that other couples besides them have gone missing in the last few months should give you cause for concern.
Darryl: Alright Mr. Queen we’ll see what we can do.
He gives Oliver back the bracelet.
Oliver: Thank you lieutenant.
He gets up & leaves the police station.
Melissa & Victor’s Apartment
Melissa in the middle of the room eyes shut dressed in her yellow Lycra shorts & vest & in a handstand position lifts her right arm up & stretches it out right as she then moves her right leg out so it almost touches her right hand. Soft Irish music from “Lord Of The Dances” playing the background. Two people come down from the hallway & the front door unlocks revealing Oliver & Victor walking in.
Victor: I was just getting milk so.
The 2 of them see Melissa like that. Oliver looks fascinated at how vertical & upright she’s standing.
Victor: Hey sweetie you okay? Do you need any help?
The two of them go over to help her down but she stops them.
Melissa: That’s okay Grandpa I can get down myself thanks.
Moving her right arm & leg back into handstand position she slowly lowers herself back & stand taut & upright on the floor then places her arms down the side of her revealing her hot sweaty self.
Victor: Wow that was very stretching.
Melissa: Yeah just a little gymnastics. Keeps, me grounded & centred.
Oliver: Oh of course I do Yoga myself sometimes.
Seeing, Oliver Melissa smiles.
Melissa: (Smiling) Oliver hey.
Oliver: Hey Mel.
Melissa: Whaddya doing here?
Oliver: Seeing my friend but also because I need your help.
Melissa: Oh yeah why’s that?
Oliver: Last night at a friends, engagement party he & his fiancée went missing & all I could find was this.
He shows her the bracelet.
Melissa: Missing how?
Oliver: Well when I went outside the club to call them back in I saw drag mark tracks leading away from it.
Melissa: Have you, spoke to the police?
Oliver nods his head.
Oliver: (Nodding His Head) Yeah I talked to a lieutenant Morris.
Melissa: Oh Darryl yeah.
Oliver: & he said he’d see what he could do but the fact that other, couples like them have gone missing in the last few months I was worried & thought maybe you might be able to get something on it.
Melissa: Why you think this maybe linked to the “The Wedding Hijacker” who’s been in “The Bay Mirror” newspaper recently?
Oliver: I think so yeah but I don’t wanna do anything without concrete prove which’s why I was wondering if you could maybe get a premonition & see where who it is or where my friends maybe.
Melissa: I could try but it does depends if I get one or not.
Oliver: That’s fine whatever helps will be great thanks.
Melissa: Okay. Give me the bracelet.
Scrunching up the bracelet Oliver hands it to her.
Oliver: Here you go.
Melissa: Thanks.
Immediately she’s pulled into a premonition wherein projecting back she stands outside the front of a wedding shop called “Lonely Hearts Wedding Shop” then seconds later she’s pulled back to the future again.
Oliver: Mel you okay?
Melissa: I’m fine yeah unfortunately I didn’t see your 2 couples or the hijacker but I did see a wedding shop.
Victor: A wedding shop? That’s not much to go.
Oliver: Not necessarily.
He walks about the room trying to think then talks.
Oliver: The newspaper said the last 3 couples all went to a wedding shop & brought their dresses there.
Melissa: “The Lonely Hearts Wedding Shop”?
Oliver: Yeah. That’s where Becky was getting her dress from.
Melissa: So the shops the connection.
Victor: How?
Melissa: Well if the couples went there & disappeared soon afterwards then it’s safe to assume that whoever took them works at the shop.
Victor: But that could be anyone there.
Oliver: Which’s why we’d need to get into the shop & try & find that out.
Melissa: We?
Oliver: If we pretended to be engaged yeah you could try on some dresses whilst I did a little digging.
Melissa: But Oliver we’re best friends not a couple.
Oliver: Yeah but we’d only be acting & not a real couple right? Please Mel I’ve known Tom & Becky a long time I’d never forgive myself if anything happened to them & I couldn’t do something about it.
Melissa looks at Oliver sincerely then answers.
Melissa: Alright then I’ll help.
Oliver comes forward & hugs her ecstatically.
Oliver: Oh thanks mate you won’t regret this.
Melissa: I’m sure I will.
Wedding Shop Basement
Tom on the floor stirs round a little & holds his head in pain.
Tom: (Groaning) Ah! Becky?
He looks round for her & sees her a little way beside him. He goes over to her & tries waking her up.
Tom: Becky?
After a few seconds she slowly stirs around.
Becky: Tom?
Tom: Are you alright?
Pulling, herself up a little Becky answers.
Becky: I think so yeah. Where are we?
Tom: I don’t know.
A figure behind them cloaked appears & speaks.
Man: Dearly beloved we’re gathered here today to see if these two are truly meant to be.
Seeing the cloaked figure the 2 engaged people gasp.
San Francisco City
Oliver & Melissa are walking down it.
Oliver: Listen Mel I really appreciate what you’re doing for me thanks.
Melissa: That’s okay Ollie. I can see they mean a lot to you.
Oliver: Yeah I’ve known Tom since excelsior & we both promised we wouldn’t get married until we’d found our soul mates.
Melissa: & Tom found that in Becky.
Oliver: Oh yeah. If any 2 people were meant to be together it’s them.
Melissa: No I understand I mean me & Sam were soul mates as you’d call it. We’d both lost people when we were young & had more tragedy later on so it was only right we went together. We’d still be together now if my Aunts hadn’t died & the whole thing with the Source hadn’t happened.
Oliver: Do you 2 wish you could get back together?
Melissa: I don’t know I love Sam I always will but we both know that even if we tried some semblance of a relationship things would just happen to ruin that like they did before so we try best to keep away from one another unless it’s to do with Charlotte of course.
Oliver: Oh right.
Melissa: That’s not to say we’re not friends still though.
Oliver: No of course not.
Melissa: (Smiling) & I’ll always love Dean & his wise crack jokes.
Oliver: (Smiling) Yeah I can imagine.
They come up to wedding shop & stop.
Oliver: Oh well here we are lets go in so we?
Melissa: Okay.
Opening the door Oliver stands aside & lets Mel in.
Wedding Shop Basement
Footsteps approach Tom & Becky who are tied up to 2 chairs.
Man: The art of abduction is surprisingly difficult. It's easier when
I find couples together. It saves time.
Becky: Well, we'd hate to inconvenience you.
Man: It's no trouble at all. It's my duty.
Tom: What -- what is that?
Man: This is a lie detector. It's fairly harmless and not
complicated at all. In fact, when you get right down to it, it's
really quite simple. All it does is listen to your heart.
Tom: I guess you except us to believe that that’s harmless, too.
Man: No. This’s electricity. Electricity hurts.
Electricity zaps on the machine at the side of them.
Becky: So this’s how you get your kicks torturing innocent people?
Man: It’s not torture. I’m doing you a favour. Not everyone is
meant to be married. Countless couples rush headlong into
marriage, ignorant to responsibility of the burden of truth that
comes with a level of commitment.
Electricity zaps
Man: Those that are truly dedicated have no secrets. Let's warm
up with an easy question. Tom.
Click, electricity charging.
Man: Have you ever cheated on your fiancée before?
Tom: No
The hooded figure presses a button & sends a little shock wave
at Becky electrocuting her a bit.
Becky: Ugh!
Tom: Stop! Don't hurt her! I'm the one that lied! You hurt me!
Man: Lies don't hurt you! Lies hurt the ones you love! You be
honest.
Tom: (Breathing heavily) Becky look, it wasn't really cheating. I
mean, this -- this crazy woman -- she kissed me, & I had a
freaking' heart attack, and I wound up in the hospital.
Becky: I know. I know it wasn’t your fault.
Tom: Becky you’re the only girl that I’ve ever loved I swear.
He breathes deeply.
Man: That will do for now. Let's see what the bride has to say. I
wonder. How many lies is she hiding behind?
The 2 couples breathe heavily in front of one another.
Interior Wedding Shop Little Later
Oliver & Melissa come up to the counter & a lady comes over to them.
Lady: Hello can I help you?
Oliver: Yes we’re newly engaged & I want to buy the most gorgeous dress you have for my lovely bride here.
Lady: Oh that’s so sweet. Yes we have a varied selection for most brides. What sorter dress are we talking here? Do you have a style or particular colour you want?
Melissa: Not really actually I have no clue.
Lady: Don’t worry miss that’s what we’re here for to help you select the right one. Now if you’ll come with me.
She beckons Melissa forward.
Lady: Firstly we measure up so we can get your shape & size & then select the dress accordingly so if you just go behind there & I’ll do that.
She points to a dressing room where Melissa goes to. Whilst the lady does that Oliver looks round the shop trying to see if he can find any clues. A while later the lady comes out seeing Oliver looking round.
Lady: Having a look are we?
Turning round Oliver tries not to act suspicious in front of her.
Oliver: Just seeing what you’ve got yes.
Lady: That’s okay you are the one who’ll be paying for it of course. Right well I’ve sized Mel up & got her attributes so I’ll just get her some few dresses.
Oliver: Okay.
The lady goes round the shop & selects a few then takes them behind the curtains to the changing room.
Wedding Shop Basement
Tom & Becky are still there with the hooded figure.
Becky: Please don’t do this.
Man: You should be pleading with me to continue. If only someone had taken the time & done this for my wife & me.
Tom: Did you hook her up to your little machine also? Something tells me she didn’t just walk outta here herself.
Man: I cherished my wife Tom. Did everything for her & please her when we took our marriage vows & how does she repay me with one lie after another. She never knew but I could smell him on her.
Becky: So you killed her.
Man: Yes. The heart & mouth are not on the same page.
Getting up, he walks towards Becky.
Tom: Get the hell away from her.
Electricity charges on the machine.
Man: Now Becky have you ever cheated on your fiancée?
Becky: No.
Man: Excellent next question. Do you love someone else other than him?
Tom: Don’t answer him sweetie. Don’t give him the satisfaction.
Pressing the buzzer the hooded man activates the machine & shocks Tom a little.
Becky: Tom no!
Tom gasps a little.
Man: You fiancée isn’t the best person to be taking advice from at the moment.
He charges up the machine once more.
Man: Now I’m asking you one more time do you love someone else?
Becky looks at Tom for a few seconds then at the hooded man.
Becky: No.
Tom breathes heavily at that response.
Becky: I’ve only loved you & only ever will love you.
The hooded man laughs at that.
Man: Good. Congratulations then Tom & Becky I now pronounce you husband & wife.
Interior Wedding Shop
Lady: Okay Mel now you’ve got the 1st dress on come on out & see what you think.
Melissa steps out in a long white v neck ruffled dress that ruffles down at the bottom. Oliver looks a bit undecided about it.
Lady: Well?
Melissa: Not sure it’s too long ruffled & widespread out for me.
Lady: That’s okay try the next one on then.
Melissa goes back into the changing rooms & does that & comes back out in a plan shoulder less plain dress.
Oliver: That’s a little better not to spread out.
Melissa: Yeah but it’s too plain sweetie & I don’t like plain.
Lady: Okay go in & try the last one on then. I’ve saved the best till last.
Melissa goes & does that. Oliver waits patiently as Melissa tries on the last dress. A little while later Melissa steps out slowly in a low cut back & front little spread out wedding dress that has little flowering detail going all the way down the dress in a spiral shape. Melissa’s below shoulder length hair hugs her frame perfectly as the dress accentuates her slim figure. Oliver mesmerised at this just stands there with his mouth jaw open.
Lady: Okay what about that one?
Melissa turns round & looks at herself in the wide mirrors.
Melissa: It’s beautiful.
Oliver: It sure is.
Melissa turns round & smiles at Oliver a bit then turns back towards the mirror.
Lady: So you want that one then?
Melissa: Not sure yet we’d like to look around some other shops first & then decide.
Lady: That’s quite alright. When you do decide & you want to come back here then please do. Here’s our card.
She hands Oliver a shop card with their name & number on it.
Oliver: Thanks.
Lady: No problems. You can go get changed in there again if you want.
Melissa: Thank you.
She goes & does that. As the couple walk out the store a while later the hooded man not hooded anymore comes out from out the basement.
Man: Was that another couple that just went out?
Lady: Yes it was Melissa Hale & Oliver Queen absolutely charming they were.
Man: Really? Oh good that’s very good.
He looks at the couple who just turn left outside the door & walk off.
San Francisco City
Walking down the street the 2 friends talk.
Melissa: So did you find anything out?
Oliver shakes his head.
Oliver: Nope nothing.
Melissa: Meaning we’ll have to come back later when it’s closed up.
Oliver: What if it’s not the shop Mel I mean if I didn’t find anything.
Melissa: It’s the shop I wouldn’t have got the premonition otherwise would I.
Oliver: Yeah but what if you were wrong.
Melissa: My premonitions are always right Oliver I’m never wrong.
Oliver sighs.
Oliver: Fine we’ll come back later tonight when it’s closed then.
Melissa: Alright I’ll go to the police & see if Darryl’s found anything out.
Oliver: Okay then.
Tom & Becky’s Apartment
Tom & Becky are asleep on their bed. Tom stirs a bit.
Tom: Oh my god Becky, Becky wake up we’re okay.
Becky does that slowly & looks around.
Becky: Tom what happened?
Tom: The last thing I remember is feeling a sharp pain & then waking up in some basement & a hooded guy talking to us whilst we were hooked up to a lie detector machine. Told you we’d make it out okay.
Becky: It this that hooded man’s idea of some sick joke?
Tom: Um I’m goanna have to take credit for this but at least it wasn’t as creepy as earlier.
Becky: You know I don’t think I’d still be alive if I weren’t sitting across the room with anyone else there.
Tom: But we’re meant to be together because things like that don’t just happen to anyone.
Becky: No because we don’t have any secrets from each other.
Tom: We’d better call the cops & tell them what happened.
Becky: Okay.
San Francisco PD Later That Evening
Melissa walking out the station goes over towards her green Jeep liberty whilst talking on the phone to Oliver.
Melissa: Okay Ollie I talked to Darryl who said Tom & Becky are alright. They came into the police station after they woke up in their apartment & told them everything that happened they didn’t know who the person was as he was hooded but he did sound familiar to someone they’d spoken to at the wedding shop a few days ago. They said they’d been kept down the basement & were hooked up to a lie detector where he electrocuted them if they said the wrong answer. Listen I’m just going to the wedding shop now so when you get this message meet me there alright.
Hanging up her Motorola V8 Melissa gets her car keys out to open the driver’s door up but before she has a chance to do that she feels a sharp pain in her back as a tranquilizer dart hits her making her go weak.
Melissa: Son of a mean person.
Feeling its affects Melissa collapses onto the ground by her car.
Wedding Shop Basement Next Morning
Melissa head hung down wakes up & slowly gets to know her surrounding’s. Looking in front of her she sees Oliver tied to a chair & hooked up to a machine just like she is.
Melissa: (Worried) Oh my god Ollie. Are you okay?
Oliver: Except for being tied up like this great. Where the hell are we?
Melissa: My guess would be the basement under the wedding shop.
Oliver: What?
Melissa: I left a message on your phone last night telling you Tom & Becky are alright & that they’d gone to the police station & told them everything that’s happened.
Oliver: Tom & Becky are okay? Thank god.
Melissa: Yeah they must’ve past the test where others hadn’t.
Oliver: So what is this then some person’s sick joke?
The hooded man from earlier appears now in front them & charges up the machine.
Man: No joke Mr. Queen just a test.
Oliver: What kinder test?
Man: One.
He moves towards Melissa & comes down onto her.
Man: To see if you 2 are truly meant to be.
Melissa looks at him not scared like.
Oliver: Let her go!
The hooded man turns round & talks to Oliver.
Man: You must really love this woman to say that.
He turns back looking at Melissa traces a little outline on her face.
Man: So beautiful.
Melissa looks defiantly at him as he places his lips on hers & kisses her softly there a bit. Angry Oliver tries to free himself of his restraints but can’t.
Oliver: I said let her go!
Man: I will if you & she past the test.
Getting of Mel he goes over to the machine.
Man: Okay first question. Melissa have, you ever cheated on your fiancée?
Melissa: Of course not. Don’t be ridiculous.
Oliver feels an electric shock pulsate through him.
Oliver: (Groaning) Agh!
Melissa: Stop it your killing him.
Man: No your lies are.
Melissa: Alright, alright I take it back please just don’t hurt him again.
Oliver: Mel?
Melissa: I’m sorry Oliver when I said that I hadn’t had anyone in a long time because they died on me a lot. That part was true but after Brian.
Looking ahead some tears fall down her face.
Melissa: I was helping late at the club one evening clearing things up when someone grabbed me from behind & knocked me out. I woke up on top of the bar later naked & saw Sam raping me.
Oliver hearing this just goes wide eyed with shock.
Melissa: I tried getting of him but he was too strong & he um beat me up to a bloody pulp till I couldn’t move anymore. The thing was it wasn’t Sam but someone who looked like him exactly. When Sam found out he went hell bent ready to kill him. Piper, Paige & I managed to defeat him but the damage was done.
Oliver: Oh god Mel I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?
Melissa: You were my best friend I couldn’t do that & it was too painful at the time to.
Man: Oh isn’t that so sad. Okay next question.
Oliver: This won’t help you what you’re doing it won’t take your pain away.
Man: But I’m not doing this for me I’m doing this for you.
Melissa: What?
Man: The broken hearted are the walking dead. I’m just saving you both any unnecessary pain.
Oliver: Okay Sherlock this test means nothing to us alright we’re not a real couple
The hooded man moves over to Oliver & bends down towards him.
Man: Aren’t you?
Oliver looks over at Mel then back at him.
Oliver: No.
Groaning in pain Melissa cries out a little as she’s shocked by his comment.
Melissa: (Groaning) Agh!
Oliver: (Concerned) Mel? (Angry) Alright stop it.
Man: You did that with your lie Oliver not me. Okay next question.
He goes back over to Melissa.
Man: Deep down in your heart Mel underneath it all do you love this man?
Oliver: Just answer the truth Mel. Don’t outthink it.
Man: Do you love him?
Looking at Oliver, Melissa shakes trying not to admit the truth.
Oliver: Tell the truth Mel.
Man: Do you love him?
Looking at the hooded man Melissa cries & whispers.
Melissa: (Crying, Whispering) Yes.
Looking at her Oliver can’t believe his eyes.
Man: & do you Oliver Queen truly, utterly & completely love this woman?
Oliver looking at Mel tries to remain calm.
Oliver: Yes.
Man: Good. I now pronounce you Oliver Queen & Melissa Hale husband & wife. You are free to go.
He comes over to Melissa & frees her from his restraints.
Melissa: No nuts Sherlock.
Grabbing onto him Melissa head buts herself, forward causing him to stagger back unveiling his hood. Melissa grabs her forehead in pain a little.
Melissa God!
Oliver: (Concerned) Mel?
Getting up she goes over to Oliver & quickly unties him. Getting out the unmasked man grabs onto pull & Mel & pulls her back.
Oliver: (Worried) Mel?
Running over to the man Oliver tries grabbing him of her giving Mel a chance to swing round & kick him in the stomach sending him to the floor. Bringing his right hand forward Oliver punches him in the face knocking him out entirely. The 2 friends breathe heavily a bit.
Oliver: Mel are, you alright?
Melissa: I will be after a while.
Oliver: So you love me then?
Melissa feeling, awkward at that answers.
Melissa: (Awkward) Let’s just get outta here okay.
The two of them walk out basement room & go upstairs.
Melissa & Victor’s Apartment Some Time Later
Melissa sitting on the window seal looks out over the city thinking about what happened earlier on. The doorbell goes causing her to get of the window & go over to front door & answer it. Opening it up, she sees Oliver standing there awkward like.
Oliver: (Awkward) Hi can I come in?
Melissa: (Awkward) Sure yeah.
She walks away from the front door & walks into the middle of the room. Oliver closes the door behind them then goes over to her.
Oliver: How you doing?
Melissa: Okay I’ll get over it I guess.
Oliver: Yeah well the police have him now anyway so that’s okay. He’ll go down for a long time I’m sure.
Melissa: I truly hope so yeah.
Oliver: Mel listen, about what the guy said earlier about you loving me.
Melissa: (Awkward) I was just lying you know I mean it was a lie detector test.
Oliver: Yes but if you’d had been lying I would’ve got shocked wouldn’t I & the fact I didn’t only proves it & I saw it on your face also.
Melissa: Oliver, please.
Oliver comes up close & puts his hands on her face.
Oliver: Mel it doesn’t matter if you love me because I love you to.
Pulling apart Melissa walks away from Oliver.
Melissa: No this’s so wrong.
Coming up to her Oliver puts his right hand on her shoulder & talks.
Oliver: Why?
Turning round she answers him.
Melissa: Because we’re best mates Ollie & too much happens when I get into relationships with guys & I’d be devastated if anything happened to you.
Oliver: Yes I know what happened was horrid but the guy did make us see the truth. Okay I don’t usually last long in relationships but this one feels really different. I do love you Mel wholly utterly & completely.
Melissa: No Ollie we can’t.
Silencing her completely Oliver kisses her passionately on the lips. Lost in it all Melissa responds back wrapping her right hand in Oliver’s hand & her left hand round his slim waist. Picking her up wrapping her around him Oliver continues his assault on her. Not letting go Melissa pushes all, resistance down on herself & let’s go. The camera holds on them then fades.
The End.
