Two Months Later

"HEATHER!"

"WHAT?!"

"YOUR PHONE IS RINGING!"

"I KNOW!"

"WELL WHO THE HELL IS CALLING?!"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

I grabbed my cellphone off the bedside table and pushed answer. "TELL THEM IT'S FOUR IN THE MORNING AND ASK WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM?!"

"HOW CAN I ASK THEM WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" I roared. I held the phone to my ear. "Hello?" I yawned.

"Bad time?" Rory asked me. "It's four in the morning," I put emphasis on the time.

"Did I wake you?"

"Me, no, the Hulk's screaming woke me up," I mumbled. "Girl snores but she's a light sleeper."

"Sorry I'm calling late but I had to tell you this before I forgot."

"WHO IS IT?!" Tessa yelled. "IT'S MY SISTER!" I yelled back. "TELL HER IT'S FOUR IN THE MORNING!"

"JUST GO BACK TO SLEEP, IT'S YOUR YELLING THAT WOKE ME UP!" I shouted.

"HOW DID YOU NOT HEAR THE FUCKING PHONE?!"

"GO TO SLEEP!"

I held the phone to my ear. "You were saying?"

"Mom had this dream where she and Luke were married and she was pregnant. With twins."

"She is gonna be so fat," I laughed. "Evil!" Rory giggled. "What's your plan for today?"

"First things first, go back to sleep, I have the celebrity t-shirt, with fourteen autographs, some I had to pay for and me and Tessa have the day off from work so we're gonna sightsee," I explained.

"And the boyfriend?"

"Good, can't wait to see him and you guys again," I smiled. "So, what movie did you work on?"

"Well, Tessa was working those giant cameras while I helped with the script and I did the clapperboard and announced what take it was," I smiled. "But no movie."

"What?!"

"We're filming the next season of Friends," I told her. "But I found out some trade secrets I can share."

"NO SPOILERS!"

"Then don't piss me off when I'm home," I laughed. "But it was so fun, the whole cast is so nice, the crew were so helpful, I mean I now have Jennifer Aniston on my reference list."

"Mom is gonna be so jealous! You gonna tell Mom that you and Jess are going out? You know, since she hates him?"

"I'll have to figure out a way to break it to her," I sighed.

"I miss you."

"I miss you too," I mumbled. "I'll see you guys tomorrow-ish."

"See ya."

"Come on," Tessa grabbed my hand and she pulled me up the hill. Here we were, two young girls from Connecticut, on the Hollywood sign.

Tessa pulled out the contents of her bag which had a picnic mat, take out and soda.

We sat down right in front of Hollywood sign. "Okay, reflection time."

"Can't believe we're going home tomorrow," Tessa sighed. "It's been fun, you'd never really picture a live studio audience there. I always thought they somehow...edited the laugh tracks in. Same goes for the oohs and ahs and the cheering."
