Monday is fast approaching the lunch break portion of the day for many workers.  At Peabody Shaolin Studios, it is no different.  For Carmen de la Pica Morales, this is her other job and she does it well, or at least well enough not to be fired.  Even with Veronica Bloom on the set directing, she refuses to be stressed out.  She always makes sure to eat light while finishing off with a bottle of water before checking her messages on the cellphone.  Of the messages, the most glaring is one from Paige asking to call her when she has time.  Carmen presses the phone insignia on her screen.

At her home, Paige Sobel is enjoying her Monday off from the world.  She can hear her son, Jared playing a video game in his bedroom from the kitchen where she has just finished with the dishes.  Her phone rings as she wipes her hands clean.  Hurrying to the phone while drying her hands, she just knows it is Carmen and indeed it is.  She picks up her cellphone and answers.

Paige: Hey.

Carmen: What’s up?  Everything okay?

Paige: Yeah I’m fine.  I um…  I was actually interested in doing something later.

Carmen smiles.

Carmen: It’s about time.  What about Jared?

Paige: I was thinking he could come with us?  I’m really not in the mood to find a babysitter.  That’s not a problem is it?

Carmen: No, Jared’s cool.  I was thinking of heading over to the Planet whenever I’m done here at the studio.

Paige: The Planet?  I’ve never been there.  That’s the place across the street from SheBar isn’t it?

Carmen: That’s the one.  I can call you whenever I’m done at work, swing by and pick you guys up.

Paige: That would be great.

Carmen: And with the mood Veronica’s in, it could be a short day anyway.  She’s already threatened to kill about three people.

Paige: Wow.

Carmen: Yeah, she’ll probably be up to four in-

Suddenly, Carmen can hear a rather vocal tirade from Miss Bloom in the distance.

Carmen: Uh-oh, gotta get going.

Paige: Okay.  I’ll see you later.

Carmen: Bye.

Paige: Bye.

Both hang up their call with mutual grins.  It is not often Paige is in the mood to actually socialize outside of work.
