Psylocke sat down, legs resting on top of her coffee table and some reheated leftover for dinner sitting on her lap. She flicked on the TV just in time to get the 'coming next' ad for Fairview.
They were still working on the movie, although it looked like they were finally coming to a close with all the scenes they had to do. Then she would be onto promoting the movie while it was in it's post production stage.
In any case, she was looking forward to watching this, even is she wasn't normally a soapie fan. There weren't too many - okay, there weren't any TV shows with mutants in it, so she was looking forward to the change.

Miette was at home with her Mum and Duke to watch the first episode of Fairview. About halfway through, Duke go up.
"I can't watch this any more," he declared.
"Why not? What's wrong?" Rowena frowned.
"Nothing's wrong. Exactly," Duke shook his head. "It's too weird."
"It is?" Miette replied, blinking, thinking that there wasn't anything particularily weird about the show, other than it having mutants in it, which was more novel than weird.
"Watching myself," Duke explained. "I remember doing all those scenes... I dunno. I thought it would be really cool seeing myself on TV... but it's not. It's weird. Plus I keep thinking I could have done all this stuff better and yeah... I think I'll pass."
Rowena and Miette looked at each other and chuckled.
"I'll let you know when it's over," Rowena said.
"Thanks."

Yvette walked into the room and paused, seeing Oliver watching the TV.
"Since when do you ever watch TV?" she asked, knowing that her fiance rarely bothered.
"Since my little brother got a part in Fairview. Y'know that new mutant TV show Prince Harry and Miette were doing?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot about that. So the show's finally aired, huh? I was beginning to think it would never end up on TV," Yvette was clearly unimpressed.
Oliver chuckled.
"Yeah, if it weren't for Duke, there's no way I'd be watching this right now. The hype was so overblown."
"Exactly."

Mr Snuggles sat on Libby's shoulder as she sat crosslegged on the lounge in front of the TV.
"That's him!" she said, pointing enthusiatically.
"Who's him?" Ivan asked.
"Duke! Oli's little brother. It has to be him - he looks just like him."
"Why? You and Yvette don't look alike."
"Shush stupid, I'm trying to watch here."
Mr Snuggles squwarked at Ivan, who rolled his eyes and continued on his way to the fron door where Hunter had his hand raised to ring the bell.
"I'm guessing you're ready then?" Hunter said.
"Yep."
"Hi Libby."
Libby waved at him, not bothering to look away from the TV. Ivan rolled her eyes.
"She's watching Fairview, and she's all so excited that she's spotted Oli's brother."
"Ahh."

Roberto was not really impressed. In fact, he felt downright awkward. He'd arrived back in Genovia a couple of weeks ago, and the first thing that Elata had roped him into was a Fairview party at Madame Bella's home with Henry.
"This is soooo awesome," Elata said, bouncing around the room.
Henry grinned at her.
"Yes," he said. "Yes it is."
Elata gave him a big hug, and then raided the chocolate.
"Are you sure that's a good idea? I think you've had enough sugar already and the show hasn't even started yet."
"You can never have too much sugar. Unless you're diabetic or something, and then you're in trouble," Elata replied.
Roberto sat off to the side, watching Elata in her usual entics. She and Henry seemed to have gotten rather close while he was away. He wasn't sure to be glad for himself, or sorry for Henry.
Madame Bella sat down next to him.
"I never once thought I'd end up with having Elata in my own home," she said, musingly. "Although, it is nice to see Henry come out of his shell."
Roberto looked up at her, but didn't really know what to say.
"She certainly is a lively one."
Roberto snorted.
"Yeah. And psycho. And hyper. And insane."
Madame Bella chuckled.
"It's starting!" Elata cried, making a beeline for the TV.
Henry sat down next to her, and the others in the room for the party were mighty grateful that something had happened to put a lid on Elata's loud-mouthed antics.
