"So, Carmen, you’re a DJ?" Megan asked. She wanted to start some type of conversation with the beautiful Latina she had just met, though she had never flirted with a girl before.

"Yeah. I assume that you’re a dancer, right?" They started back towards the building, equipment in hand.

"Yeah."

"Here for an interview before you audition?"

"Yeah."

"I’m usually in the back. We have a set up where we have our own radio station. Pirate radio, so its totally illegal, but still fun."

"Cool." Carmen shot her a look, like she didn’t believe her, "No, seriously. I think it’s really cool. And its not because I’m young and impressionable either." Carmen laughed. Megan knew then that she wanted to make this woman laugh everyday for the rest of her life.

They walked into a room. There were posters of musicians plastered all over the walls. There was a long table and a couple couches and chairs around. Carmen instructed her to place everything on the table. They went back outside and grabbed the crates of records and sat them in the room.

"When’s your interview, Megan?" Megan checked her watch.

"In about fifteen minutes."

"When it’s over, do you want to come hang out back here for a little while. I’ll show you how things work."

"Uh, yeah, sure. I’d love to actually."

"Okay, I’ll see you then." Carmen waved and Megan turned to leave with a huge smile on her face.

The Planet

3:00 PM

Bette walked into the Planet and was about to order when she saw Kit coming in her direction. She smiled at her sister, happy with the fact that they had overcome so many obstacles in their relationship. They cursed, they fought, they argued, and yet, somehow, they managed to bond. It was something about the Porter name that just caused them to fuse.

"Hey, babysis."

"Hey." They hugged briefly.

"What are you having?"

"Just a lemonade is fine."

"You’re here early." Kit went around the counter and got her sister a glass of the Planet’s famous lemonade.

"I decided to take the rest of the day off. I was kind of drunk last night and had a bad sleep." She lied. She lied like there was no tomorrow. She was tired and felt like shit because she was up all night fucking Helena. She was relaxed, but completely falling apart at the seams.
