"Please sit down ladies".
Tess: "a few years ago, you said you wanted to buy my club and I said no".
The man said: "yeah and now you changed your mind?".
Tess: "no no but just bear with me for a second, because I promise this is going to be a happy ending for both of us".
Me: "how much are you planning to sell your combos for?".
The man said: "well they start at a million and go up from there, depending on the view".
Tess: "so what if I told you, that a 20-story-building was going up where my club is?, that would block his view".
Me: "10 stories will block his view, the way I see it, your beautiful million dollar ocean and city views...are just gonna vanish into thin air..".
Tess: "vanish".
Me: "yeah".
Tess: "because tomorrow I am going to sell my club to this developer...and his 20 stories are gonna be well underway by the time you start selling".
Me: "trying to sell".
Tess: "and so I think we should talk".
Me: "id listen to her".
The man said: "were gonna have to auction off everything, anything you want me to try and keep for you?".
Tess: "no I just wanna try and do what's best for both of us".

Back at the club.

Vince: "your gonna shoot me".
Tess: "no, I'm gonna buy you out".
Vince: "In the next 24 hours?".
Tess: "no in the next 24 seconds".
Vince: "Where did you get this?!". (He says seeing the money in her hand).
Tess: "thin air".
Vince: "Oh baby, Thankyou" he hugs her.
Me: "what would really make me so happy is to hear from you a great-big-giant-fat THANKYOU ALI".
We all hugged.

Nikki: "I didn't really sleep with Vince, I just said that to hurt you, I crossed the line".
Tess: "you think".
Nikki: "I wanna come home".
Tess: "okay you are home, now get your crazy ass upstairs and get ready, your on in 20 minutes".
Tess walks up to me.
Tess: "and if you ever pull half that crap that she pulled you are gonna be out on your ass so quick it's gonna make your head spin".
Me: "yes ma'am".
Tess: "and don't ever call me ma'am again".
Me: "I'm gonna go get dressed for the show".
Tess: "Thankyou Ali".
While I go back to my dressing room, I see Nikki, I'm glad she's back we all missed her in our own ways, before you know if me and Nikki are staring at each other but not a mean stare, just a friendly one, she smiled at me and I smiled back but before she knew it someone was asking to borrow her makeup and of course she said "DONT TOUCH MY STUFF". God we missed her.

As I was about to put my highlighter on, a voice came towards me from behind.
Jack: "I've been looking for you".
Me: "well you've found me".
Jack: "I wanna talk to you".
Me: "jack I really have to go get ready okay?".
Jack: "I know !! I messed up okay? Big-time".
Me: "when? When you lied to me about your engagement being over?...or when you kicked me out of your apartment?".
Jack: "it really was over, okay and she's gone, I'm here to apologise, I should have never let you walk out that door".
Me: "go on".
Jack: "I want you to come back".
Me: "so what's the proposal exactly?".
Jack: "well...I still have that full box of cookies, and an empty bed".
Me: "I want the bedroom".
Jack: "half, so are you in? Or are you out?".
Me: "oh jack, now, you see when a friends in trouble I help, that's just who I am".
Jack: "shut....up".
And before you know it we are kissing!!! I guess us two were just meant to be.
