A/N: okay, everyone. I just thought of adding this a while ago, so...yeah.

Here's the explanation for this chapter: if you get the channel TCM (a.k.a. Turner Classic Movies), you know how the dude Robert Osbourne introduces all the movies at night. he also gets to talk with a lot of the stars (lucky!). So this is a chapter with him (well, actually, I changed his name to Bob), talking with Link and Zelda on their first work together. IMPORTANT And yes, this does take place much later, so they're both older. Not freakishly old and wrinkly, but .... yeah, old. That's important.

------------------Action, Bob-----------

"Good evening, everyone, I'm Bob Osbourne," said the announcer in a clear voice. "Tonight we have with us here Link Harker and Zelda Jones, helping us to celebrate our Mad About Musicals marathon. In 1942, Link and Zelda both starred in their first motion picture together, the classic Audrey And The City Thief."

"Yes, and what a disgusting title that was," Link snorted. "It didn't flow well."

"I didn't think it was that bad," Zelda laughed.

"Upon the film's release there was a rumor going around that you two had already been seeing each other," Bob said. "Is that true?"

Zelda sighed and leaned back in her chair. "Well, I suppose you could say it was somewhat true. I mean, Link and I basically hated each other at the beginning of the project. But during production, I guess we .... well, we did start to see each other." She laughed. "I remember poor Greer Garson was so distressed that we would do something foolish and permanently tarnish our careers."

"It's a shame," Link said. "I don't mean to brag or anything, but no one seems to really remember Greer anymore. Gosh, what a sweet soul she was."

Bob turned to the camera. "Speaking of sweet souls; tonight you will be seeing a scene that was cut from Audrey, and has never before been shown. The scene is what would've been the film's first dance number, the main star of whom is a young woman named Din."

"Oh, Din," Zelda breathed. "That poor girl..."

"Mid-way through production of the feature film, Din was killed in an automobile accident," Bob informed the viewers. "She had been attempting desperately to avoid both American and Hungarian police forces, due to the fact that she had robbed a jewelry shop back in her homeland--"

"But she didn't do it," Zelda interrupted. "I don't think she ever got the chance to tell anyone else; but I know she never robbed that store. But because of one bloody good frame job, that girl's life was cut off much too soon."

"Of course," Bob said. "The cast and crew felt uncomfortable viewing Din's dancing number during their private screening of it, and they eventually had it cut. But thanks to Mr. Harker here, we still have the precious footage."

"Din was a very talented dancer," Link said. "I couldn't stand to see the only proof of her ability destroyed. So I asked Ganondorf Loxley for the reels, and he decided to let me keep them."

"Oh yes, Ganon Loxley," Bob said with a grin. "What was it like working with one of Hollywood's most infamous directors?"

"Ghastly yet wonderful," Zelda answered. "If you can believe it, I actually sort of found him attractive at one point."

"What?!" Link laughed in disbelief.

"He had a nice profile," Zelda shot back. "But I soon forgot about that old man once I became smitten with you ... especially after that awful first kissing scene he made us undergo."

"Tell us the story behind that," Bob said, smiling with anticipation.

"Well, Ganon knew that Zelda and I were both very anxious about our first on-screen kiss," Link began. "We felt the exact way our characters did. So he thought it would be a brilliant idea for us not to rehearse the scene at all, and to have it all done in just one take. I was so scared."

"You were scared?" Zelda asked in shock. "I was the one who had to kiss the man voted Movie News Weekly's most handsome actor of the year."

"Yes, well, I was the one who had to kiss the most popular pinup girl of the 1940s," Link retorted.

"While examining this film, our technicians unearthed a very interesting .... shall we say, circumstance," Bob said. "I don't believe this 'line,' Zelda, was scripted."

"Oh, heavens," Zelda sighed, putting her head in her hand.

The three of them looked at a screen playing a very famous clip from their movie. Link held Zelda in his arms just as he was about to kiss her. Then suddenly, the film's score was subdued immensley, and, though it was very muffled, they heard Zelda undeniably whisper Link's name.

"I can't believe you could actually hear that!" Zelda laughed.

"Well, you normally can't," Bob said. "But thanks to technology today, we were able to delete all the other sounds and turn up the volume of your voice."

"I was just so in the moment!" Zelda giggled. "Gosh, I feel like such a fool."

"You shouldn't," Link said.

"Speaking of new technology, you two have been taking a firm stand against most of today's R-rated films," Bob said, changing the subject completely. "Would you like to tell us your true opinion on the nature of the films of today?"

Link sighed and intertwined his fingers. "Frankly, Bob, I just think that ... the pendulum of censorship has swung so far since our time. Before, you couldn't even show a man and wife sitting in the same bed, even if they were both fully clothed and doing nothing but reading a book! And Godforbid a man should kiss his wife good-bye on the cheek while she's still sitting on a bed!"

"Yes, to be blunt, some of the censors were quite silly," Zelda admitted. "But there is such trash filling the world these days, it makes me pine terribly for old film. Now you can just go out and watch two naked people having sex on a big screen, and no one seems to really care. It's like Hollywood has been let loose, and they want everyone to know how beautiful their actors all are."

"Even the reputations of musicals have been tarnished," Link said with a hoarse cough. "Zelda and I were watching that Moulin Rouge the other day, but we had to stop in the middle. It was a good film, but they were really pushing the bar. Even more so than Mae West, I think."

"I believe that that Nicole Kidman is a lovely creature and has a very grand talent for acting," Zelda made clear, "but I do wish she did not stoop down to such lowly, vulgar films at times."

"I guess they just don't make musicals like they used to, do they?" Bob asked.

"They most certainly do not!" Zelda said. "Why, I think the last good musical that was made would be..."

"Audrey And The City Thief, wouldn't it?" Link asked.

"Now that's a film worth watching," Zelda teased.

"Fortunately for us, that's exactly what's on next," Bob said. "Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and relax, and enjoy this unedited version of the heyday's masterpiece; Audrey And The City Thief."
