Rating: PG13ish
Word Count: series total of 23,000

Notes: Written a couple of years ago for my best friend type person's birthday. As such, it's basically a Mary Sue, though hopefully not a shit one. Features her as the Romantic Heroine, Julian Sands as the Romantic Hero and the guys from Top Gear because that's what I was watching at the time. A representation of me is in here, too, drinking heavily.

Six Miles of Vegas (3/3)

Title: Six Miles of Vegas
Series: The Vegas Saga
Rating: PG13ish
Word Count: series total of 23,000
Summary: When Michelle's car broke down just outside of Las Vegas, Julian stopped to give her a hand. You can see where this is going.
Notes: Part three. You know how in A Hard Day's Night there's that moment when John Lennon says, 'let's do the show right here' and then they start playing? Apparently that was intended to be a parody of scenes in other movies where people couldn't make it to their venue and did concerts in the middle of a field. Unfortunately, when you watch the movie, you don't realize it's a joke at all. There's a moment like that in here.

( Richard wasn't precisely what Michelle had expected. )
