What if Dallas Roberts Met Milton?
So my sister and I were watching the finale this weekend and we thought, you know Milton is so - quirky, what would it be like if Dallas Roberts, the guy who plays him - met Milton? Well I wrote a story about it!
Milton couldn't believe he was getting beaten up by the governor but there he was, lying on the floor, face partially bloody, his chest hurting from the many blows Phillip gave him and he was just - weak. Phillip had left him there for a brief moment and Milton was too weak to get up and run away. As he was minutes from unconsciousness, he saw a vision in front of him - a man, slightly petite with short, brown hair, white shirt and blue jeans. Milton looked at the man with confusion.
"Who - who are you?" Milton asked weakly.
The man walked over to Milton and knelt in front of him. Milton looked at the man with weakness and with a confusion. The man touched Milton's forehead lightly.
"Wow, he banged you up pretty bad, huh?" The man said in a slightly low voice.
"Who - who are you?" Milton asked again weakly.
"Well, I'm Dallas Roberts, I'm an - actor." Dallas said lightly. "Now come on, we have to get you out of here."
Before Milton could say anything else, Dallas grabbed Milton by the arm and held him up to his feet and put Milton under in his arm, practically carrying him down the hallway. Milton tried to pull away from Dallas but was too weak to.
"No, no we - we can't." Milton said weakly. "He has Andrea in that room, I know it."
Dallas nods as he turns the corner of the hallway with Milton.
"Yeah, well, either I or Norman or - Danai will come back here and get her." Dallas said.
Milton frowned with confusion through weakness.
"Who - who's Norman?" Milton asked weakly. "Who's Danai - who - how did you get into Woodbury? There - are no actors in Woodbury."
Dallas laughs as they walk outdoors into the Woodbury town.
"Yeah, there is no Woodbury," Dallas said with a brief smile. "In fact, how you characters exist baffles me - all of us really but yet, here you all are. I saw Phillip running around here somewhere like a mad man."
Dallas and Milton see Norman, Andrew, Chandler and Melissa standing by a big, black Hummer, they're all talking with each other. Andrew and Melissa look at Dallas and Milton walking over.
"Ah, I see you found your character there, Dallas." Andrew said in his british accent.
Dallas laughs lightly.
"Yeah, he's pretty banged up too." Dallas said. "We need to get him to the hospital quick - just for some bandaging."
Milton looks up at all of them with confused eyes.
"Who are you people?" Milton asked weakly.
"We're actors." Melissa said as she looked down at Milton. "And -"
"Well, the others left already," Andrew said, "so let's get this guy to a hospital now."
Dallas nodded as he carried Milton to the back passenger side of the Hummer. Milton finally garnered the strength to pull away from Dallas.
"No - no I - I can't leave Woodbury." Milton said almost weakly.
Dallas sighed with a slight shake of his head.
"Oh not this, 'I can't leave Woodbury' crap again." Dallas said. "Milton, ya have to go. Hello? The governor just - beat your ass."
Andrew and Melissa laughed.
"Yeah, it's not safe for you here, mate." Andrew said. "The man's trying to kill ya. He's set to stab ya next."
Milton frowns briefly at Andrew.
"No - he - he's just misunderstood," Milton said as he held onto the Hummer for support to keep from falling to the ground in weakness.
"No, the guy's a psycho." Dallas said. "And you know - we're not leaving unless you come with us, Milt. Alright? I mean come on, get some balls for once."
Milton shakes his head and turns around to walk away.
"Milton's not going anywhere." Phillip said as he stood behind Dallas, Andrew, Melissa and Chandler.
Dallas and the other actors turn around and see Phillip standing there looking at them angrily. Dallas scoffed with a smile and a shake of the head.
"And so here is the boogeyman." Dallas said with an amused smile.
Phillip was seconds from pulling out his gun and shooting them all and none of the actors even knew it...
Milton couldn't believe he was getting beaten up by the governor but there he was, lying on the floor, face partially bloody, his chest hurting from the many blows Phillip gave him and he was just - weak.

Dallas laughs as they walk outdoors into the Woodbury town.

Comments
Phillip looked over Dallas's shoulder and saw Andrew standing there. Melissa and Chandler were already in the Hummer. Phillip looked even more angry at seeing who he thought was Rick there.
"Sheriff Grimes," Phillip said angrily. "I was just coming to KILL you."
Andrew looked at Phillip with a confused smile.
"What? Mate, I am not, Rick." Andrew said in his british accent. "I only play Rick on the show."
Milton looked at Phillip with fear.
"He's not going to let me go, I told you." Milton said in a low, voice as he slowly walked towards Phillip.
"Whoa, no." Dallas said as he stepped in front of Milton. "You're not going back with him, Milton, alright?"
Milton looked at Dallas angry.
"I HAVE to." Milton said almost angrily. "You can't escape him, Texas." Milton whispered in Dallas's ear.
Dallas frowned briefly at Milton and scoffed with a brief smirk.
"Firstly, my name's DALLAS - not Texas." Dallas said. "Secondly, yeah you can escape him, he's just a big, bully, Milton."
"Ok, look, I'm going to give you til the count of two to get off of Woodbury's grounds or I'm likely to put bullet holes in all of you." Phillip said calmly but with a hint of anger in his voice. "Milton is NOT going anywhere with you all."
Dallas turned and looked at Phillip with irritation.
"You know, damn, I never knew how annoying you were until now." Dallas said with a brief frown. "Milton is not going to STAY here, so you can beat the hell out of him more and kill him. Now you may have Milton scared of ya here but not me. You want Milton, you have to go through me."
"Yeah and me." Andrew said as he took a step closer behind Dallas. "And seeing as how I can't stand the Governor anyway, I'm looking forward to kicking your ass, mate."
Andrew smiled proudly. Milton grabbed Dallas's arm.
"Dallas, you don't have to do this - PLEASE." Milton said in a low voice. "You - you don't even know me."
Dallas turned and lightly pushed Milton's hand off him.
"Yeah, I do know ya." Dallas said. "I know ya quite well in fact. Now go - get in the truck, we'll be there in a moment."
Milton looked at Dallas with a frown of uncertainty.
"Go on, go on, Milton, it'll be fine, go, go, go." Dallas said, lightly pushing Milton towards the Hummer.
Milton looked at Phillip, who was staring at Milton, ready to tear him to shreds. As Milton slowly walked to the Hummer, Phillip grabbed Milton's arm and violently pulled Milton to him. Milton gasped slightly and looked at Phillip with fear. Dallas roughly pushed Phillip away from Milton.
"Get OFF him" Dallas said angrily.
Immediately, Phillip pulled out a gun and pointed it at Dallas.
"What are you going to do now, hmm?" Phillip said coldly.
Dallas looked away from Phillip and sighed with irritation.
"Really Phillip? Jesus, this is so - pathetic." Dallas said calmly. "Andrew can you handle this? I'm getting Milton in the truck."
As Dallas walked towards Milton and lightly grabbed his arm to lead him away, Phillip was about to fire when Andrew pulled out a thick, black stun gun and quickly zapped Phillip in the neck. As Phillip yelled out in pain and pushed Andrew hard up against the Hummer, Andrew grabbed Phillip's arm and twisted it behind Phillip's back and pushed him hard up against the Hummer, steadily zapping bolts into Phillip's neck. Phillip yelled loudly in anger. Andrew quickly pulled out a short needle filled with liquid and as Phillip continued fighting, Andrew punched the needle into Phillip's neck. Within seconds, Phillip fell to the ground, in a deep sleep. Andrew sighed as he stepped away from Phillip. Andrew laughed and shook his head.
"Man that felt awesome," Andrew said aloud to himself. "Damn, why didn't the writers write in for me to kick his ass in the finale."
As Dallas and Milton got in the backseat of the car, Melissa looked back at them. Milton winced almost loudly as he sat down in the seat.
'Is everything being taken care of?' Melissa asked.
Dallas sighed and nodded.
"Yeah and get this, the guy pulls out a gun on me." Dallas said with a laugh and a shake of his head before drinking a bottled water that was sitting in the seat beside him.
Melissa laughed.
"What?" Melissa asked.
"I still don't get how these television characters are even - here." Chandler asked.
"I know, I don't either but it didn't scare me." Dallas said. "If anything, I was trying to keep from laughing. the guy is such a joke, it's not even funny. I don't see how fans find him so - scary. He's - amusing"
"He IS scary, you don't know him." Milton said in a low voice as he looked at Dallas.
Dallas looked at Milton with an eyebrow raised and a get serious look. Dallas laughed.
"Uh yeah - to you, I see he is." Dallas said with a brief smile. "I mean, did you actually gasp out there when he grabbed you? Why? I told you I wasn't going to let him take you, you didn't have a reason to be scared."
Dallas laughed and shook his head.
"Phillip grabbed him?" Chandler asked.
"Yeah, tried to stop him from getting in the truck." Dallas said. "Yeah but I stopped that really quick."
"How do you even know who I am?" Milton asked. "Furthermore, you - you kinda look like me, are you an unknown family member? Why are you even helping me?"
Dallas nodded as he took another sip of his bottled water. Dallas shook his head.
"No, I look like you because I'M real." Dallas said. "And well - you - I don't even know how to explain you but um - just think of me as your - cooler, better dressed twin brother."
Dallas smiled and winked at Milton. Milton looked at Dallas with even more confusion.
"I - I don't have any siblings." Milton said. "I'm an only child, I KNOW -
"MILTON," Dallas interrupted. "Please just - shh, ok? Just try to relax yourself, you've just gotten the bricks beaten out of you, you really should be resting your lungs, ok?"
Andrew hopped into the driver's side of the car and sighed.
"Where is our - Governor?" Dallas asked with a brief smirk.
"In the back cargo area." Andrew said with a brief smile. "He's out like a light too."
"Is he dead?" Milton asked with an almost worried expression.
Dallas looked at Milton with a surprised stare.
"You really care about that guy, don't you?" Dallas asked. "WHY? Milton, he was trying to kill you, had we not come along, he was going to gut stab you like you may have been in the mob."
Melissa laughed.
"Because who he IS now is not who he once was." Milton said with a slight shake of his head. "He's not -"
"Milton, please get real, alright?" Andrew interrupted. "The guy's a loon."
Milton looked at Dallas and Dallas nods in confirmation with a brief smile. Milton looked down at the floor briefly with a look of disappointment.
"He wouldn't have killed me." Milton said in a low voice. "We've been friends too long. I just can't believe he would do that."
Dallas looked at Milton with sympathy and patted Milton on the shoulder.
"Poor, sweet Milton." Dallas said. "Sweet, innocent, naive, Milton."
Chandler scoffed and laughed lightly.
"We're going to get you to a hospital alright?" Dallas said.
"No I'm fine," Milton said. "I want to find Andrea and I -"
"Sush, sush, later, later, Milton." Dallas interrupted as he covered Milton's mouth with his hand. "Alright, we're ready to drive away from here, Andrew."
Milton moves his head away from Dallas and frowns lightly. Andrew drives away from the empty Woodbury.
"So, we've got Daryl, Rick, Michonne, Andrea and - who else back at the hotel?" Dallas asked.
Andrew sighed as he looked up at the ceiling.
"Well along with Danai, Norman, David Morrissey. that's it." Andrew said.
Dallas nods with a brief smirk.
"What about Laurie?" Dallas asked.
Melissa shook her head and smirked briefly.
"She's still - upset about - the finale." Melissa said.
"Yeah understandable," Dallas said. "That was all sorts of crazy. She's upset with good reason."
Andrew nodded. Dallas sighed.
"Well, I'm going back there to check on the kid, I'll be back." Dallas said before walking away.
Dallas walked back into the room with Milton was sitting on a table in front of a male doctor.
"How is he doctor?" Dallas asked.
The doctor looked at Dallas with an eyebrow raised.
"Uh, maybe we should talk outside the room." The doctor said.
Dallas frowned briefly with confusion but nodded.
"Um, I'll be right back, Mr. Mamet." The doctor said.
Milton nodded once as the doctor and Dallas left the room.
Dallas sighed and folded his arms across his chest.
"So how is he?" Dallas asked.
"Well, he's fine except he needs his mental stated evaluated." The doctor said.
Dallas raises an eyebrow in confusion.
"Come again?" Dallas asked.
"Well, he keeps talking something about - walkers and some place called Woodbury and - zombies and - it's just all really weird."
Dallas looked down and laughed lightly with a nod.
"Yeah well he's my brother," Dallas said. "He's a little - off - you know."
Dallas makes the crazy sign with his pointer finger to the side of his head. The doctor laughed.
"He just - I think whoever beat the hell out of him, knocked some good cells out of him." Dallas said.
"Well, he appears to be - extremely smart, a genius in fact." The doctor said. "But he just keeps asking me - weird questions about some - infection and walkers and some man named the Governor."
Dallas looked away from the governor with a slightly irritated stare and then faked a brief smirk.
"Yeah, like I said, he's my brother but I think he's just a bit delirious." Dallas said. "Can I um - go see him now - can he be discharged from here and all?"
The doctor nodded.
"Well yes but he has to be under complete bed rest." The doctor said. "He has broken ribs and several minor broken bones and bruises on his upper and lower chest, arms and abdomen area, and on his forehead and face. So until his ribs and bruises heal, he's going to need constant bed rest."
Dallas nodded.
"Sure absolutely, yeah I'm taking him home where he's going to get constant bed rest." Dallas said with a brief smile.
Dallas walked back into the room where Milton was sitting. Milton was looking through one of the drawers of a desk. Dallas looked at Milton with an eyebrow raised.
"Milton, what are you doing?" Dallas asked.
"Oh, I was looking for medications." Milton said. "If we do find Andrea, she's going to need them, if she's hurt."
Dallas frowned and quickly walked over to Milton and slammed the drawer shut and lightly pushed Milton away.
"Milton, no, alright?" Dallas said almost angrily. "Forget about Andrea right now, ok? I mean, God, what IS IT with you and her?"
Milton looked at Dallas with a hint of upset.
'She's my friend." Milton said strongly. "She needs my help."
"Yeah well right now YOU need the help, Milton." Dallas said as he took hold of Milton's arm and lead him to the door of the room.
Milton yanked away lightly.
"Where are we going?" Milton asked almost with irritation.
"To the hotel, Andrew and the rest of us are staying at." Dallas said. 'You're going to go straight to the bed once there and you're going to rest."
"My broken ribs - bruises and bones." Milton said flatly.
Dallas nodded.
"Yeah, Phillip damaged you pretty bad," Dallas said. "But luckily, it's just that and not a big - gutting stab wound you have."
"You know why do you keep mentioning about Phillip stabbing me?" Milton asked almost with upset. "I -"
"Because that's what he was GOING to DO, Milton." Dallas snapped. "Look, I know you want to think Phillip is this still kind man but he's not. He's a monster and had I not came along and rescued you, Phillip was going to bring you in that dungeon room - see Andrea and you would've been gut stabbed by him and left for dead. Just - just trust me, I'm not lying. Now can we go?"
Milton looked at Dallas with slight hesitance before slowly walking out the room with Dallas following.
As Milton, Dallas, Andrew, Melissa and Chandler drove in the Hummer, Milton was steadily talking.
"So, even though they've been infected, they still must have some sort of memory of their old ways." Milton said.
Dallas sighed and slightly slouched down in his seat with an annoyed stare.
"Is this the REAL reason why Michonne left?" Melissa whispered to Andrew, who left.
"I did numerous research," Milton continued. "I did research checking on - "
"MILTON!" Dallas almost shouted loudly. "Can you PLEASE - look no more science talk, alright?"
Andrew and Melissa laughed.
"You've been talking for an hour now about your research and science," Dallas continued, "and really, it's - nice and all but - just be quiet for the REST of the drive, ok?"
Milton looked at Dallas with an eyebrow raised.
"I bore you, my apologies." Milton said in an almost offended tone.
Milton rolled his eyes at Dallas and Dallas scoffed and shook his head with a brief smirk.
As Dallas, Milton, Andrew and Melissa and Chandler walked into a big, spacious hotel room, Milton looked all around with an eyebrow raised.
"This is - nice." Milton said softly. "You all live here?"
"No, we're just staying here for the time being." Andrew said.
"Now," Dallas said as he took hold of Milton's arm and led him to the bed. 'You need to lie down and get some rest and we'll be right back."
Milton sat down on the side of the bed and looked with suspicion at Dallas.
"Where are you all going?" Milton asked. "You're leaving me here - alone?"
"Yeah just for a bit," Andrew said. "We're going to bring in some of your - friends - so to speak."
Milton's eyebrows raised.
"Andrea?" Milton asked in a heightened voice tone.
Dallas laughed and looked at Milton with an eyebrow raised.
"Oh my God, you've got a crush on her, don't you?" Dallas asked.
Andrew and Melissa laughed.
"Yeah, I think he does." Andrew said with a smile.
Dallas laughs.
"I do NOT, I told you she's just - my friend." Milton said in a low but stern voice.
"Aww, yeah you do. That's cute." Dallas said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Milton looked down and frowned with a hint of embarrassment but more so, extreme shyness.
"When will you all be back here?" Milton asked in a low, slightly irritated tone.
"About an hour, so just sit tight ok?" Melissa said.
'Yeah, there's food in the fridge over there," Dallas said and immediately Milton shot his eyes over to the fridge, "and also some soda cans should be in there so just rest and do NOT leave this room, I'm serious Milton. Don't try to leave to go find - Woodbury because it doesn't exist ok?"
Milton looked up at Dallas with a confused frown.
"Wha -" Milton began to say until Dallas held his hand up to shut Milton up.
"DON'T, I'll explain later." Dallas said. "Just rest here, ok?"
Milton nodded as he slid back on the bed.
"Alright, I'll - be here." Milton said.
Dallas nodded as he, Andrew, Melissa and Chandler left the room.
Melissa sighed.
"Now to bring the other characters and everyone else here and then it's -"
"It's Q & A time with us actors and - them - hooray! Oh damn it, what the hell, are we seriously doing this?" Dallas asked.
Andrew laughed as he wrapped his arm around Dallas's shoulder and walked with him, Melissa and Chandler out the room.
"How - Milton, how much of that did you watch?" Dallas asked.
Milton stared at Dallas for a few seconds in quietness before responding.
"I saw - quite a bit." Milton said in a low voice. "What - what was that? Have you been recording us in - in Woodbury, at the prison for some time?"
Dallas frowned at Milton for a moment and then scoffed and looked away.
"Uh yeah - no - wait, what exactly did you see?" Dallas asked.
Milton looked away briefly and nodded slightly.
"I saw this woman - die in childbirth." Milton said lightly. "It looked to be at the prison."
Dallas sighed loudly and briefly closed his eyes with relief.
"Oh thank God, nothing new." Dallas said under his breath. "You - you didn't see Woodbury or Andrea or - I don't know say - someone who looked like you being stabbed by the Governor did you?"
Milton frowned with confusion at Dallas.
"No?" Milton asked in a question type tone of voice. "When - "
"Never mind, come on Milton, we have to go now." Dallas interrupted as he lightly grabbed Milton by the arm and pulled him up to his feet.
As Dallas was leading Milton by the arm out of the room, Milton yanked away angrily.
"I can walk on my own." Milton said almost coldly. "Where are we going now? I have to get to the prison - warn them that the governor is coming for them. I'm sorry but I don't have time for this with - you all."
Dallas laughed.
'You - oh wow, you're hilarious buddy." Dallas said as he walked back over to Milton and wrapped his arm around his shoulder.
"Look, come on, um - Andrea is in the other room. You want to see her right?" Dallas asked with a light smirk.
Milton looked at Dallas with an eyebrow raised.
"Is she alright?" Milton asked.
Dallas nodded.
"Yeah, come on." Dallas replied as he walked with Milton out of the room.
As Dallas and Milton were walking down the hallway, Milton was thinking, quietly thinking.
"What was that I was watching on the television?" Milton asked.
"A show, Milt." Dallas said with a slightly annoyed sigh.
"A show?" Milton asked. "A show of what? You've been secretly recording us. Why? Is it apart of research? Or -"
"Milton?" Dallas interrupted in an annoyed tone. "I'll - we'll explain everything in a bit ok?"
Dallas continued walking down the hall as Milton looked at Dallas with suspicion before following behind.
As Dallas and Milton walked in the room, they saw Andrew, Melissa, Michael, David in the room. They were sitting on the sofa watching television. Milton's eyes shot at David and he stopped with fear in his tracks. Dallas turned and looked back at Milton.
"Come on, Milt." Dallas said.
Milton stared at David as David was texting away on his cell phone, not even seeing Milton in the room. Andrew laughed.
"Oh no, he thinks David is the Governor!" Andrew said between laughter that was shared with Norman and Michael.
"I still don't understand how he's not." Rick said almost angrily.
David looked up at everyone with a slightly confused stare.
"What about me now?" David asked.
Dallas laughed lightly and walked over to Milton.
"Milton relax, that's not the Governor." Dallas said.
"Yes that IS." Milton said, his eyes still on David. "I -"
"No, Milton, that's - an actor." Dallas interrupted with a brief smirk. "He looks a lot like - "
"I know what an actor is, I'm not stupid." Milton said almost coldly. "I just -"
Milton stops as David walks over to him with a smile.
"Hello, allow me to introduce myself," David said in his british accent. "I'm David - "
"Morrissey," Milton said in an uneasy tone. "Yes, Dallas told me. Why do you - look like Phillip - except for the beard."
David laughed and shook his head slightly.
"Well I play him on a - television show." David said with a smile.
Milton frowned briefly with confusion and then his eyes widened slightly.
"There's a television show about Phillip?" Milton asked. "Was that what I was watching in the room?" Milton added as he glanced at Dallas.
Dallas looked at David with a slightly upset look.
"Great - thanks David, now how do I explain that to him?" Dallas said.
David laughed.
"What? He asked." David said as he walked away with a scoff and a smile.
"Explain WHAT?" Milton asked almost with irritation. "What is going on here?"
Dallas sighed and shook his head.
"Look, I told you Milt, we'll explain later, ok?"
Immediately, Norman walks in the room with Phillip, Rick, Carol, Hershel, Glenn, Michonne and Daryl. Milton saw Phillip and quickly a step behind Dallas. Phillip looked at David with a frown. Milton looks at Phillip with slightly widened eyes of fear. When Phillip saw Milton, he looked with immediate anger.
"You son of a - " Phillip said as he lunged towards Milton.
Dallas immediately took a step in front of Phillip as Milton stepped back towards the sofa, still with his look of fear.
"Nah ah, Phillip." Dallas said with an eyebrow raised. "Lest we want to be tased again, we're going to leave Milton ALONE, right?"
Phillip looked at Milton with cold anger.
"You know you should be really lucky your friends took my gun from me." Phillip said coldly.
Dallas laughed and shook his head as he walked away from Phillip.
"Yeah, yeah, take a seat, governor, you don't scare me." Dallas said lightly. A minute later, Andrea walked in the room and Milton looked with slight relief.
"Andrea." Milton said in a relieved tone.
Andrea looked at Milton and Milton walked over to her and Andrea quickly hugged him, which took Milton aback. He lightly hugged her back.
Dallas laughed.
"Oh these two are too cute." Dallas said with a laugh that was shared by Andrew and Melissa.
"More like disgusting." Phillip said angrily. "He turns against me for that - filth."
David looked at Phillip with a curious look.
"You like seriously need some shock therapy treatments or something." David said with a laugh from Norman.
Phillip looked at David with anger.
"You know, I don't need a gun to kill you." Phillip said.
"Killing is your answer to everything isn't it, Governor?" Michonne said.
Phillip stared at Michonne with a lethal, murderous stare.
"The man's a monster." Rick said angrily.
Phillip looked at Rick with an amused smile.
"Oh I can't wait until we leave here and I get to that prison." Phillip said. "You'll see what a real monster is."
"Why wait until then." Rick said as he stood up and walked over to Phillip. Phillip quickly stood and stepped up in Rick's face. David stepped in between them.
"Whoa, hold it, hold it, you two." David said. "There is going to be NO bloodshed here."
"Oh who asked you, GET out of the way." Phillip said as he pushed David hard away from him.
David turned and looked at Phillip with an eyebrow raised.
"You know, you're not going to do that again, alright?" David said to Phillip.
Phillip turned and walked over to David and stepped in his face with a smirk.
"Oh yeah and what are you gonna do if I do, huh?" Phillip said in an amused tone. "What are you gonna do, you look-alike wanna-be."
Dallas sighed and stepped between them, pushing Phillip hard away.
"Would you two please quit it?" Dallas said. "We haven't even explained to these - characters, who we are and - the REST of the story."
Phillip looked at Dallas with anger.
"You call me a character one more time -" Phillip said before Dallas interrupted.
"No, no, NO." Dallas said. "Your threats - don't work on me, Phillip, remember? Save them for people who are actually scared of you like - I don't know - Caesar."
David and Andrew laughed.
"You said you had a video or something to show us and some stuff to tell us." Daryl said coldly. "Well where the hell is it - what's going on here? Where the hell are we?"
When you see a Walking Dead character's name in quotation marks like this for example:
"Milton" -
It means I'm referring to the character that's being shown, on the television, on a TWD episode in the story.. When the character's name is not in parenthesis, it means I'm referring to the character that's sitting with the actors in the story.
It had been an hour after Dallas, David, Andrew and the other actors had explained everything to the walking Dead characters - about the show, how they the actors were even there - only they explained it with a twist of a lie - it was the only way they could make it believable to the characters sitting before them. What else explanation could they give? Dallas sighed.
"And so that's how we're here." Dallas said with a nod.
All the characters of the show looked almost speechless - except Milton.
"So like time travel - we've traveled to - the future?" Milton said. "Which is how we're all meeting - you all - who are actors who portray us on a show called - The Walking Dead?"
Andrew nodded with a slightly amused smirk.
"That be correct, mate." Andrew said.
"The Walking Dead," Phillip said with a brief smile. "I love the name."
"Yeah, I bet you do." Rick said coldly. "Well it seems pretty out there but with what I've been through, I'm willing to believe anything at this point."
"So in this future - the disease doesn't exist?" Daryl asked with a slight frown.
Michael nodded.
"Yeah pretty much." Michael said. "The - "
"This video," Milton interrupted. "This video of the show, can we see it please?"
Dallas looked at Andrew and then at Norman with a slightly hesitant look and an eyebrow raised. They were giving him the same stare. Dallas looked at Milton with a brief frown.
"Milton, I don't think you should - see the video." Dallas said lightly.
Milton frowned briefly at Dallas.
"Why not?" Milton asked.
"I agree with the traitor over there." Phillip said. "Why can't we see how well we're being portrayed in the future on this - show?"
"Well it's not that we have any problems with you all seeing it," Michael said. "It's just Milton - maybe he shouldn't."
"WHY?" Milton asked with growing suspicion. "What's on there that I shouldn't see?"
Dallas looked down briefly and sighed.
"We can't - we can't hide it from him like that. No, let's show him." Dallas said in a low voice.
Milton looked at Dallas with a deep frown.
"Hide what?" Milton asked. "Whatever it is, I can handle it."
"You can't handle anything, Milton." Phillip said. "Your traitor ways proved that."
Milton looked at Phillip with a brief frown.
"I am not a traitor, Phillip." Milton said. "I just - I can't look the other way on things you're doing anymore."
"Which makes you a traitor!" Phillip yelled angrily.
"Hell, this is almost better than watching it on TV." Michael whispered to David with laughter that they both shared.
"Better a traitor than a monster." Michonne said as she stared at Phillip with hatred.
Phillip looked at Michonne with a brief and angry smirk.
"Can I just kill her?" Phillip asked angrily. "I mean, just stab her with her own Katana? I mean what use is she to you all anyway?"
"No but you can shut the hell up." David said with a smirk at Phillip.
Dallas sighed loudly as he got up off the sofa and walked over to the DVD player that was sitting on a big screen TV in the room.
"Ok, fine, I'm playing it - whatever." Dallas said as he pressed play on the DVD player.
There they all were watching the finale of The Walking Dead, when the scene of "Andrea", "Milton" and "Phillip" appears on the screen. Milton watches the beginning seconds of the scene with a bit of shock and surprise but not that much. However when he sees the scene of "Phillip" pushing "Milton" down to the floor, in the room where "Andrea" was tied to a chair, Milton looks with a surprised stare and an eyebrow raised. Milton looked at Andrea with slight confusion and then looked back at the television screen. Dallas was watching Milton with slight worry, Dallas knew what was going to happen in minutes in that scene and he wasn't sure if Milton was ready to see it. As they were watching the scenes, Phillip was laughing heartily as if he was watching a comedy flick. Then the "scene" appears:
Milton sees the Governor push "Milton" hard up against the wall and Milton widens his eyes with a bit of surprise. Andrew looks at Milton with an amused smile.
"Seriously look at him, watching it like he's watching a movie." Andrew whispered to David as they both laugh.
On The Finale, On The Television:
Governor: You're going to kill her now, you're going to show me that you learned something. There is no way you are leaving this room without doing it. Don't make it hard. Just do it.
Milton looked at Phillip with a hurt frown as Phillip laughed more at seeing the scene play out in front of him, something that annoyed Michonne, David and Andrea.
"You cold hearted animal." Andrea said in a low voice as she stared at Phillip with coldness.
Phillip looked at her with a smirk and waved his hand away at her.
"Oh you deserve to die," Phillip said. "You never turn against me, you and the traitor should know that by now."
"LEAVE him alone, he's NOT a traitor." Dallas snapped. "I -"
"Shh," Milton said, his eyes still glued to the television.
Dallas scoffed lightly and shook his head with a very brief smirk as he sat back on the sofa.
Milton watched as "Milton" quickly swung around to stab "Phillip" but in return "Phillip" stabbed "Milton".
When Milton saw "Phillip" stab "Milton" on the screen, Milton gasped loudly and with widened eyes, he covered his mouth with his hand and looked with absolute shock. Phillip laughed even louder at seeing this. Andrea looked at the screen with equal shock.
"Oh my God." Andrea whispered.
Phillip laughed even louder at watching this scene. Andrew sighed angrily.
"Would you SHUT UP with the laughing, mate!" Andrew yelled. "This isn't funny!"
"No yes it is." Phillip said between laughter. "See what happens when you try to come for me. You always lose."
Phillip laughed more and shook his head. As Milton watched "Phillip", on the screen, jab the tool further into "Milton's" gut, Milton lowered his head and shook his head with a deep, hurt frown.
"NO" Milton said with a shake of his head, his hand still covering his mouth.
Immediately, Milton broke into severe tears. Dallas leaned forward and looked at Milton with concern. Dallas wrapped his arm around Milton. Seeing Milton cry made Phillip laugh even more.
"Oh no, see I knew this was going to happen." Dallas said with a deep frown. "No, look, Milton, it's alright, ok?" Dallas said.
Dallas looked up at Andrew.
"Andrew turn it off, that's enough, they don't need to see anymore." Dallas said.
Andrew nodded and sighed as he got up and walked over to the television and turned it off. As Phillip was still lightly laughing.
"Wow, that was hilarious. I LOVED it." Phillip said with a smile.
"SHUT UP, Phillip." Dallas said angrily.
Dallas looked at Milton, who was still crying. Dallas lightly rubbed his back as Milton took his glasses off and wiped streaming tears away.
"Hey, hey it's alright, alright?" Dallas said.
Andrea was sitting there looking at the television in light shock.
"How could - how could he do that to me?" Milton asked in between severe tears. "How could he do that?"
"Simple, he's an ANIMAL." Glenn said angrily.
"I am NOT." Phillip said with a slight shake of his head. 'You don't think I'm going to let you kill me and get away with it, do you? No I did what I had to do."
"You STABBED me, Phillip!" Milton yelled in between tears. "You were trying to KILL me. How could you?"
"How could you be a traitor?" Phillip said nonchalantly.
"You're an evil bastard." Andrea said angrily as she stared at Phillip with light tears in her eyes. "Michonne was right about you, she should've killed you when she first saw you."
Phillip scoffed with a smile and a slight shake of his head.
"Yeah but she didn't - that's why, your traitor over there is gut bleeding and you're tied to a chair."
"It's not too late to kill you NOW." Michonne said.
"Oh please, THAT I'd pay to watch - RIGHT NOW." Dallas said with a shrug. "Go on Michonne, I mean seriously, I'm about sick of Phillip and I've only been around him ONE day."
Andrew and Melissa laughed.
Michonne was about to get up but David grabbed her arm lightly. Michonne looked at David with a cold, calculating stare.
"No, no, no." David said with a light frown and a shake of his head.
Michonne yanked away from David hard and sat back down and stared at Phillip with cold, violent hatred.
"No one is killing ANYONE, alright?" David said. "Can we -"
Milton shook his head and wiped more streaming tears away before putting his eye glasses back on.
"I - I want to see the rest of it." Milton said, interrupting David in a shaky, tearful voice.
Dallas shook his head with a look of concern.
"No, Milton you've -"
"NO!" Dallas said almost loudly with his shaky, tearful voice. "I want to see the rest - I - I want to see - what happens to me."
Dallas sighed and briefly closed his eyes. Dallas looked up at Andrew and nodded.
"You heard him, turn it back on."
