Thomas,
We just finished watching the RWB Masque Special, and I have to say, you were looking devilish in that outfit. It's too bad the ending of the special ruined all that lovely silk and wool. I hope you managed to keep the mask and walking stick though. Did they tell you the zombies were going to happen? They must have, since you seemed to have learned some swordplay for it. Very nice choreography, by the way. It looked so real.
Anyway, I'm done gushing. I just had to write you because you're not going to believe who came in today! We were seeing our last customer around sunset right before we were supposed to close to set up for RWB Night, and this beautiful, delicate girl with the cutest pixie hair dances in. She comes straight up to me (yes, I'm working weekdays now that your popularity has skyrocketed), hugs me hard, and says "We're going to get SO DRUNK!"
Long story short, your friend Edward has a sister named Alice, and she was travelling and decided to come visit us and gossip! She's adorable, that girl. She let us put some temporary purple highlights in her hair before the show started, and told us our fortunes. Her boyfriend Jasper also came with her, but he was an awfully quiet one. He and Harry just sat in the corner all night. At least, until Harry got mad and left. Thomas... never mind, I'll talk about that later.
And then the show started, and I must say, Thomas, you are being a very naughty boy. Teasing poor little Lacrimosa like that, and giving away Edward's costume inspiration. He makes a very dashing Mr. Darcy, as I'm sure you noticed. And your little Dorian Grey act. You should be ashamed; you were so handsome poor Edward couldn't keep his eyes off you.
Everyone who showed up had great fun. We had cosmos and there was plenty of Irish Coffee for the boys (poor Harry looked so relieved when I poured him a cup). We couldn't believe when you found Edward with Lacci and Dru and just joined in. Thomas, I'm blushing just thinking about it! You have absolutely no shame. Alice was so pleased that you and her brother finally managed to be in the same room together without sniping at each other! In fact, when you stepped into that tent where her brother and the two ladies were, Alice squealed in delight, tossed back an entire Cosmo in one gulp, and said "Oh thank God! And now Rosalie owes me a new Ferrari!" Allison, on the other hand, has no idea how she's going to look you in the face anymore, now that she's seen, well, so much of you.
I told you, everyone thinks you and Edward are just so good together! It's about time you two managed to figure it out too. And the part of the night where you two ended up karaokeing to "Like a Virgin"? Alice just plain lost it then. Even that dour Jasper was on his phone, calling home and making sure someone named Emmett had it on TiVo. And yes we have it on TiVo. I think Tara already uploaded it to YouTube and has gotten like a thousand hits in the last hour.
I have no idea what that green fortune telling demon thing is talking about, but he doesn't seem to know you at all. Good job turning that little mishap into more time with Edward though. Tara says that little stunt boosted your popularity waaaaaaaaay up among the Internet fanbase. Now Allison and Jennie are convinced they will DIE of embarrassment when they see you again. The day you come home, half of your employees aren't going to be able to look you in the face. Who knew you were such an exhibitionist? Speaking of, the TV died just as it got to the good part, but Alice just happened to have a spare in their car, so she brought it over for us. I guess they're moving or something. You should send her a thank you note for being so considerate.
Anyways, Alice and Jasper are leaving soon; they're on a road trip or something. Alice also wanted me to tell you a couple of things. She says that you should remember that Edward tries hard, even when he's being an absolute idiot. and you should be nice to him when he's in inadvertent idiot mode; it'll be worth it, she promises. We all saw that bitchy queen act you put on a few days ago, Thomas. Don't do it again; it's not very attractive on you. She says even if things don't work out for you two, Edward can be a good friend, and that you should keep that in mind. You need more friends, Thomas, especially if you insist on treating Harry the way you do... Anyway, Alice also says that even though she completely approves of what you two are right now, if you actually hurt her big brother, she's going to come kick your ass. You know better than that, don't you, Thomas? I sure hope so. Oh, and she wants your number. I gave her your calling card, so don't be weirded out if she calls you.
Anyway, now that I've hit all the high points of the show I wanted to tell you about, you know it's time for Mad to give you advice you don't care about, right? Thomas, in all seriousness I think you need to talk to Harry. He's so hurt by everything happening right now that he stormed out tonight! You still want him around, don't you? You really need to talk to Harry soon, before you come home. It's bad enough to hear about your wandering eye, but to see it on national TV and to have your new friend's sister here? It's hard for him, but we know he still loves you. Don't disappoint us, Thomas! We love having you and Harry around.
Holding down the fort until you return,
Mad
