~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is two years after high school, Mello and Amber have hardly kept in touch. Mello lives in a house in upstate New York and Amber lives in a very large penthouse in a big building in New York City. Mello decided to take a train into New York City for an internship at a large and growing company. When Mello arrived, she wasn't shocked by the large buildings, nor the loud noises and horn honking. She had heard of all these things via social media websites and video sharing sites as well. She was only taking a small black suitcase that she could pull alongside her, and a black leather purse that contained her normal, every day items. Phone, keys, pocket change and such. After she arrived and had departed from the train station, she was delighted to see a black explorer waiting for her at the curb. After she had gotten into the car and put her suitcase in the back, the driver recited the apartment address and sped off onto the highway. It took about two hours to reach the large apartment building in the heart of New York City because of the extremely dense traffic. When Mello got out of the black explorer she saw a small crowd of people at the entrance, she looked to the left and saw a white and black light-up board sitting upright on the wall, flashing in bright letters, "MCL Method Meeting Today At 15:00". "I wonder what it's about", thought Mello, unconsciously wandering into the large space containing buzzing people and quite a large amount of set tables. It didn't seem like the event was open to the public, but there were quite a lot of people in the room looking a bit confused, as she was. Mello looked around a bit, walking in between the set tables and seeing alphabetized names, Her own accompanying the "M" table. "What... I didn't sign up for a briefing on a business method.. Maybe it came with this specific stay? I didn't book it myself so maybe where I'm working wants me to see it.. I'm guessing that". Mello walked to her seat and sat down, removing her black overcoat, underneath it her favorite black and red dress. As the lights in the room started to dim, signaling the few straggling people to their seats and the stage lighting up, the curtains opened. There was a lone small guy announcing

         "Please give your warmest welcomes to the creator of the MCL business method, Miss McCall." There was a polite clapping, which Mello chipped in on. Mello's thoughts wandered, recognizing the name from somewhere but not being able to place it. A tall natural red short haired, broad shouldered masculine woman walked on the stage as everyone continued to clap, Mello recognizing her but still not remembering from where or when.
          "Good evening everyone, I assume you are all comfortable?" Asked Miss McCall to no one In particular. Not waiting for an answer from anyone she continued, " Tonight we will be conversing on the subject of my method to success in the business industry. At the moment I am the owner of over nine thousand brand name chains and I am admin of over six thousand domaine names that make me over twenty six billion a year." Mello refrained herself from opening her mouth in surprise from obtaining the knowledge of how much she made, she briefly reflected on keeping herself composed and collected, and prohibiting surprise or anxiety. From these methods Mello has gained a huge amount of self restraint. As Miss McCall continued speaking about her methods and how she got to where she is, Mello's eyes wandered and studied Her, trying to place where she knows her from. At many points their eyes met for a splintering moment, Miss McCall not missing a beat in her presentation also kept composed. When the speech was ending and people were leaving, Mello got up quietly from her chair to wait at the end of the handshake/meeting line. As the line grew shorter so did mello's amount of confidence about who this woman was, and why she felt so off place. When Mello finally got to the front of the empty line, and the room was empty except Miss McCall and Mello, Miss McCall looked Mello up and down with a quick glance and smiled a devious smirk, obviously knowing who Mello was. As Mello's eyes widened, loosing her composure she fidgeted a bit. "Hi, uhm... I liked your speech and what you've built.." Said Mello in an uncomfortable voice because Amber was staring into her eyes.
"Oh Mello, Mello, Mello, it's a shame you can't seem to remember me." Said Amber in a slightly low seductive tone.
