Sage Rough arose from her slumber with a smile plastered on her face. She was estatic about what the day would bring. Her talent was coming over for a dinner meeting and getting ready to sign their lives away to do music under her label and management.

She got herself prepared for the day just before heading downstairs to see what Beau was making for breakfast.

"Oh! Good morning Ms. Rough, how are you today?" Beau smiled while preparing her meal.

"I'm excited Beau. Everything seems to be coming together perfectly."

"Don't speak too fast. It's still early. Do you believe they're all going to show up?"

Sage laughed extremely loud. "What else do they have to live for? They need this more than I want to give it to them so that's a lot." She smiled while leaning over Beau's shoulder. "What's on the menu for dinner?"

Beau finished cooking her breakfast and begin to fix her plate. "Well, Ms. Rough, for dinner we will have caviar and spinach dip for a appetizer, a choice of lamb chops smothered in gravy or lemon peppered fish, mashed potatoes, and string beans for the entree and for dessert cherry and/or apple pie."

"Mmm. I can't wait! I also can't wait to correct their etiquette," Sage laughed. "They will learn a lot this evening."

Sage dressed in her finest linen as she watched the clock tick and tock its way to five. Currently, it was 4:43 pm and no doorbells had rang yet. She looked out of the window and noticed a few cars pull up.

"Let the games begin." She smirked and got herself ready to go downstairs to greet her guests.

3:30 pm

Dustin had already made arrangements with Yolanda about taking him to Ms. Rough's place and also made plans to let Patrick ride with them.

Selena had another objective. And it wasn't for him to go to a dinner meeting. She watched as he stood in the mirror, attempting to fix his tie. She frowned her face up before speaking. "The hell are you going?"

Dustin stopped his progress and turned to face her. The two haven't been getting along since the whole missing payments incident so he could tell this was about to go way left. "Selena, we've talked about this. I'm going to a dinner meeting."

"Well, what are you going to do about Aven?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm working a double shift so she has to go with you!"

Dustin checked Selena's schedule in advance so he'd know what to do with Aven. "Selena you don't have to work a double shift. I checked your schedule already."
