Sookie wakes up, Election day... thinks about the VRA, and the initial referendum on the docket... this will allow vampires to be recognized as equal partners in Same-Vamp couples or Hu-Vamp couples-- if it passes, it will lead to the next and hopefully stronger referendum to allow Same-Vamp and Hu-Vamp couples to marry...
As she eats her biscuit and gravy, she thinks about living with Bill as a recognized Hu-Vamp couple. Wonders to herself: why I couldnt fashion a small futon down in Bill's little sleeping den, on my days off, if I have no commitments or appointments, why not sleep with Bill? -- it wouldnt matter to me if he cannot move or cuddle me, I'd be content just to put my arm around him while I sleep and he is at rest...of course, I gotta ask him to "breathe" for me, so its more natural-like. Heck, I wait tables, Sam'll just have to give me the day shift, so I can spend nights with Bill... and he can cuddle me in our bed on the nights I need sleep...
Her mind's eye suddenly sees an old-fashioned Victorian wedding gown floating down the stairwell of the Compton house... and she shakes her head back to reality when she looks over at a dime-store framed photo of Gran hugging little Jason.
Jason! Sookie snaps to... Jason has got to vote with her... She pictures Amy and wonders if she is registered to vote... doubts it since she's from some snobby town in Connecticut..
He's a union worker so he is totally registered to vote, when you join a union its part of the package...
So Sookie washes her little plate, and heads out to wake up Jason and Amy, both looking shellshocked after a night on V-- Amy grunts and rolls over to go back to sleep... Jason agrees, and rapidly gets up, not wanting Sookie to hear the vampire in the basement, his usual unshowered unshaven self, throws on the least smelly t-shirt, and maneuvers Sookie out the door.
In the car, he suddenly feels like, plain and simply, shite. "Sookie, ya gotta take me home, Im really sick!" She snaps at him, "DO NOT think you will get out of voting, What would Gran say?!"
They park and get in line... The sweat and shakes torment Jason in line, his hands are quivering, so he plants them in the pockets of his slept-in jeans, LO and behold! His fingers extract a half tab of V, pops it in his mouth, and then instantly calms down...
He looks up to rainbows coming out of marching American flags..two at the doorway became four, then 8, then 16, compounding like the brooms marching toward the novice sorcerer in Disney's Fantasia!!! Wow, I get it! Fantasia/Fangtasia! He pictures Pam at the door... -- shudders, then shakes it off, comes back to earth for a moment, looks at individual people in line waiting their turn to vote... and realizes there are vampires in line! "Sookie, there's vaaaaampires!"
She shushes him, "Of course, remember with the Great Revelation movement, they won the right to vote two years ago?" He nods, slowly, up and down, up and down...
Sookie snaps her fingers in front of his eyes and he looks at her. "Jas, Not only is today the Presidential election, but also the 2nd referendum on passing the VRA!!"
"This is not the whole bill," she pauses and thinks about her Bill, where they have taken him..."But its an important step toward giving vampires equality! I hope you're gonna vote yes? Lets free the vampires!"
"Yeah, lets free them!!" Jason, still nodding slowly, more out of connecting with his neck muscles on his V-trip, than true affirmation..
As the line moves closer to the entrance, he sees two wrinkled old men sitting on lawn chairs, handing out balloting rights brochures... And instanly the whole periphery of his sight fills with a vision of poor Eddie strapped with silver to the cushionless lawn chair... He doesnt know it but V-trippers always experience visions of whatever vampire released the blood - they are connected the moment the blood is ingested --- Eddie, with his pleading eyes, eyes powerless to glamour anyone... dried tracks of red down his cheeks, blue veins pulsating, fat with V, on the thin alabaster skin of his arms.
"Jason, you're a good guy... let me go... at least let me vote... I promise I'll come back with you if you let me vooooooote..." fades -- Jason physically feels an electrical charge of guilt jolting him...
Sookie jumps a little when Jason quakes, recognizes he is tripping, so she punches his arm, "DId you take some V???" she scolds in a hushed tone, looking around to see if any vampires heard her...They stop at the sign-in table, and snaps him out of it for the moment they are at Bon Temps's only voting booth --
Sookie pushes him forward."Jason, you concentrate! This is a historic election, the most important vote of your life!" The election volunteer at the table wrinkled her nose and half-smiled up at Sookie, proud of the pretty young woman's words but confused by the behavior of the disheveled young man.
He goes in, pulls the curtain behind him, fixing his eyes on the ballot screen. Jason ponders... the fraction of his mind that is cogent aims to press the Obama/Biden ticket, while the rest of his V-brain flashes to the posters floating down the stairwell of the Roadworkers Union Headquarters...
"Vote OBAMA!" ---"Old Man McCANE has Voted against the Veterans EVERY TIME!" --- "Obama SUPPORTS Union Workers!" ---"Here's 50 reasons not to vote McSame....!" --- Poster headlines in 3-D, sparkling red, white and blue letters flitting and wavering like a souvenir flag Lisa and Coby wave at a parade... With Americana circling his head, Jason lifts his finger and presses a button--Shazzam! it lights up like a pin ball machine! The V-tripper begins pressing buttons all over...
"Woowee! Lookee the lights!" he thinks he says to himself. "Shush and vote, Jason, hurry up!" Sookie's disembodied voice pierces the curtain.
His head finally pops out of the booth, no clue what he pressed that will direct the future of America.
"Sookie!!" he grins deliriously, "Sparks were flying! the lights all over the screen!"
Sookie orders him to sit in an empty chair while she quickly votes... OBAMA, the Democratic ticket right down the line, and the biggest YES ever to the VRA bill and prospect of living with Bill openly, freely...
She hurries out of the booth, Jason stands and hugs her.
"Sookie!!!" he says from LaLaLand, "No matter what, You are my favorite sister!! I love you! I can say that now!"
To all the voters in the polling place, since turnout is awesome, Jason shouts with a dynamic happiness on his face that rivaled any of his sexcapades, "EVER'BODY! I LOVE THIS HERE GIRL WHO IS MY SISTER FOREVER!!" --
People and vampires all staring, some smirking disdain at his rude interruption of the voting process, others finding it a lovely interruption, to break the tedium of waiting in line with a moment to smile..the expression of love in any form or fashion, a good thing...
Her brother turns to her, "LETS GO EAT, I'm starving!!!"
Sookie shakes her head with a Mona Lisa smile, but hugs him tight, right there in front of everyone, thinking "I dont give a damn what anyone thinks!"
"Jason, I love you too... We're all we've got!"
She realizes his words come from the V-high he is on.... but considers, "V is surely like truth serum...."
As they head down the Shreveport-Monroe highway to Merlotte's for giant cheeseburgers and vanilla malt milkshakes, she turns to see Jason, snoring quietly with a peaceful smile on his face, lolled against the passenger door of her sunny yellow Gremlin...
And as she beams at her brother's handsome face, the warmth she feels abruptly, joyfully, brings Bill's face clearly in her mind's eye... Her loud audible sigh resonates -- Bill's beautifully chiseled face, and the tenderness his cobalt blue eyes conveyed, gives her every hope they will be reunited soon...
"Yes... I love you too." she whispers.
