Reception

Guppy's house. What little furniture there is has been mostly moved upstairs, apart from the threadbare sofa, bean bag and a few newly mended garden chairs.

The whole area is decorated with ribbons and flowers.

Medusa is many things today - nervous, uncomfortable, flighty - but this doesn't mean she's unobservant by any means. The shouting attracts her attention and, all that anger-driven presence firmly in place, the Gorgon walks over.

She'll give them a moment to notice her before she'll take it into her own hands.

They don't notice, too busy trying to mess one another's outfits up.

She didn't think they would.

Which is why she brings her fingers to her mouth and makes a piercing, almost-shatter-glass whistle.

Both mothers jump and stare at her.

"Have you," the Queen of Gorgons asks, coldly, "entirely finished acting like a pair of spoiled children?"

"How dare you!" Guppy's mother says. "It's none of your business."

"Oooh, but it is," she purrs.

(If she were another person, she might feel bad about this - it's less about Guppy's wedding, and more that the two stupid women have given her a target. But, she's not, so she doesn't.)

"Guppy's my friend. And you are both, both of you, acting completely selfish. You feel like fighting? Fine. Save it, and do it later."

"I'm moving to India." Guppy's mother says. "I won't be able to have it out with her later."

But both start to look a little ashamed.

"Okay. If you have to, the front door is through there. Or you could stop it and act with the dignity of your age."

The two women look angry, then stalk off in opposite directions.

And Medusa?

Just beams.

That was fun.
