Why this must be read:
not jenny's patented lyrical style here doesn't take the edge off of Susan and Marcus's snarky relationship, in fact, the snark is somehow snarkier filtered through Susan's layered daydreams.
Here's an Ivanova who probably knows what she wants, but she's too stubborn or too exhausted to let herself want it, and a Marcus who is conveniently just as stubborn as Susan, and who won't back down.
*
There must be something in her eyes, though, because he immediately begins to backtrack. "Not that I would ever presume to ask the great Commander Ivanova on a date, mind you, but that is the appearance we should be striving to maintain when we have dinner tonight at the Fresh Aire."
"When we have dinner tonight? Feeling pretty sure of ourselves, are we, Marcus?"
He at least has the decency to look sheepish before answering. "Well, it is for a good cause, after all, and I've never known you to back down from a challenge."
("Dare." "No." "Double Dare." "No." "Double Dog Dare." He knows her far too well.)
("Fine, what time are we meeting?")
*
//SUSAN's DAYDREAM, a (SHORT) FILM:
S1. EXT. Station.
A man floats by. It is MARCUS, and he is not wearing an EVA suit.
S2. INT. Station, near an airlock.
A woman smiles. It is IVANOVA. Her comm. signals.
SHERIDAN (V.O.): Ivanova, I just wanted to let you know that we've just come into a unlimited supply of coffee and vodka, the war is over, the Drazi have all committed ritual suicide, and you are always right. Also, you've been promoted; congratulations, Captain.
THE END. ROLL CREDITS.//
