An alternate history of 2012.
This is a work of fiction and the author does not intend to offend anyone. Furthermore, please do not act on any advice offered by this book without first consulting a professional and conducting your own thorough research. Creative license is employed regularly. Just because the author cites scholarly articles and the like does NOT make this story scholarly itself.
Now, switching to first person in order to speak from the heart;
Celebrities mentioned herein were not consulted and the associated events did not really happen. Please don't sue me, especially you Jon Huntsman. I sincerely hope I have presented you and your family in a good light. I have never met any of you. We share a last name and this is why I originally took an interest in Jon. But we are not directly related.

INT. LONE STAR RESTAURANT (POSSIBLY IN SALT LAKE CITY) - BAG ROOM - NIGHT
(CASSIE, CLARISSA, CLARE)
THE FIRST IMAGE WE SEE IS OF THE LATE CASSIE, CLARISSA'S SISTER. CLARISSA IS WATCHING FOOTAGE OF CASSIE ON HER iPHONE.
CASSIE (OLD FOOTAGE)
This is great. I'm here sis. Sydney Football Stadium. It's amazing.
WE SEE THE STADIUM. IT'S FULL OF PEOPLE. EMINEM IS ABOUT TO TAKE THE STAGE. HE'S ON THE SYDNEY LEG OF HIS 2011 TOUR.
CASSIE (OF)
As you can see I'm right behind the security fence. I got such a good view of him. Dad's gonna wanna watch this.
FINALLY WE SEE CLARISSA, HOLDING THE iPHONE. A TEAR IS ROLLING DOWN HER CHEEK. SHE HAS HER EARPHONES IN AND IS WEARING A HOODIE. THE HOOD COVERS HER EARS, A STYLE REMINISCENT OF CASSIE IN THE MUSIC VIDEO "ME & U" [1.] OR ETHAN HUNT IN THE FINAL SCENE OF "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL [2.].
CLARE ENTERS THE ROOM
CLARE
Your mission, should you choose to accept it . . .
CLARISSA WIPES A TEAR AWAY IN SUCH A MANNER IT APPEARS AS THOUGH SHE IS SCRATCHING HER FACE. SHE REMOVES HER EARPHONES AND LOOKS UP.
CLARE
. . . is to make food. Come on Ethan Hunt, we got work to do.
CLARISSA SMILES
CLARISSA
You lot are so lost without me.
CLARISSA AND CLARE EXIT THE ROOM.

INT. LONE STAR RESTAURANT - KITCHEN - NIGHT
(CLARISSA, CLARE, MATT, DYLAN, JESSICA)
CLARISSA WALKS BRISKLY TO THE FOOD PREPARATION COUNTER. THERE IS LOTS OF BANGING AND SHOUTING. ALL THE WORKERS IN THE KITCHEN ARE BUSY; TO THE LEFT OF CLARISSA DYLAN IS WASHING DISHES IN THE DISH AREA, TO THE RIGHT MATT IS SPRINKLING CHEDDAR ONTO A PLATE FULL OF CHIPS. ABOVE HER HEAD A NEW ORDER IS BEING PRINTED.
CLARISSA RIPS THE PIECE OF PAPER FROM THE SMALL PRINTER.
A DING SOUNDS.
CLARISSA
Matt, grab the cheese bread for me from the oven. But first chuck two schnitzels into the basket. We got two steak sandwiches, two parms, and a Caesar salad. So we're gonna need two burger buns in the oven too.
CLARISSA PASSES THE SLIP OF PAPER TO CLARE. CLARISSA LIFTS A LARGE CIRCULAR PLATE FROM THE HIGH SHELF IN FRONT OF HER AND TROTS TO THE FRONT OF THE KITCHEN. SHE PICKS UP SOME LETTUCE AND PUTS IT ON THE PLATE.
AGAIN A SLIP OF PAPER EMERGES FROM THE PRINTER. CLARISSA TAKES THE PLATE OF LETTUCE BACK TO HER BENCH AND THEN RETRIEVES THE SLIP.
MATT RETURNS WITH THE CHEESE BREAD.
CLARISSA
Once you've cut that, I need two regs, and some chips dropped.
MATT
Yep.
CLARISSA TURNS AROUND AND REMOVES A LARGE PLATEFUL OF CHIPS FROM A HIGH OVEN. SHE HOLDS IT FROM BELOW IN THE MIDDLE WITH THE TIPS OF FOUR FINGERS AND RETRIEVES A LARGE PLATE FROM THE HIGH SHELF WITH HER OTHER HAND BEFORE PLACING THE PLATE OF HOT CHIPS ONTO THIS SECOND ONE AND BOTH ONTO THE MAIN COUNTER.
CLARISSA
Runners!
JESSICA - A WAITRESS - WALKS IN.
JESSICA
You won't believe what the customers are talking about out there? We got some liberals at one side of the restaurant and some conservatives on the other side. I'm expecting a massive food fight any minute now.
CLARISSA
Good. Then it's not gonna matter if the chips get cold.
JESSICA
Which means I get to have a drink while you continue to cook.
CLARISSA
Nice try. You're taking these out. And while you're out there, tell 'em you're a liberal conservative [1.] [2.]; don't take sides whatever you do.
DYLAN
What if the conservatives hear "liberal" before she gets a chance to finish?
JESSICA
The chips "are" sides.
CLARISSA
Ha ha.
JESSICA TAKES THE PLATES OF CHIPS AWAY.
CLARISSA LOOKS UP AT THE CLOCK.
CLARISSA
It's nine. That's my shift. Clare - you got Matt for the night.
DYLAN
That's me too.
CLARE
Matt, you're on dish.
CLARISSA
Bye guys.
CLARE
Bye.
DYLAN
See ya.
MATT
See ya.
CLARISSA WAVES BYE AND THEN REMOVES HER APRON. AS SHE WALKS TO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE SHE PLACES THE HOOD BACK OVER HER HEAD.
