Hello Friends : ) Well this is my first SWAC and my first Tawni/Nico story! I'm going to call them Taco cause I saw them referred to that in Banana Babe903's summary and loved it! So here is my taco, I don't own any characters, hope you enjoy!
"I'm so sick of this! It's not fair!" Tawni Hart whined and threw a magazine across the prop house. She plopped down face first on the couch and screamed into a pillow. Tawni hadn't noticed her co-worker Nico Harris sitting quietly in a chair in the back of the room shopping for fashionable hats on his laptop.
"I'm so tired of seeing little miss sunshine and her conceited little boyfriend all over these stupid little magazines," she yelled deciding to lay her head on the pillow rather than scream into it.
"How many times are you going to say the word little? And I hate to break it to you glitter-pants but you're conceited too," Zora said, appearing out of nowhere dangling on a rope from the ceiling.
"No, I'm Tawni Hart, there is a very distinctive difference," Tawni replied not caring about Zora's unusual (well usual if you knew her) sudden appearance. The blonde sat up and fixed her curls.
"What's the big deal anyway," Zora asked while raising an eyebrow at Nico. Nico just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head in response.
Tawni was too busy scowling at the pile of magazines covered with "Cutest Hollywood Teen Couple" and "CDC and ASM…WOW!" on the table in front of the couch to notice. "It's not fair she gets all the attention! I mean, I'm just as pretty, if not more, and certainly just as loveable, also if not more," Tawni cried. "I need a cute Hollywood boyfriend," Tawni huffed and crossed her arms.
"Have you met you? It won't be hard to catch him but after five minutes with you he'll be screaming and running toward the door," Zora laughed.
"Hey, that's only happened four…nine…twelve," Tawni sighed, "whatever."
"You could always just Photoshop a picture of you and some brain-dead piece of arm candy and send it to Tween Weekly. Once it is one magazine, give it twenty-four hours and it is in them all," Zora suggested to Tawni and hopped down onto the couch beside her.
"Zora that is so…brilliant," Tawni smiled and leaned in to hug Zora but stopped and patted her lightly on the head.
"Now who shall be lucky enough to be romantically linked to the wonderful me," Tawni thought aloud, loving the idea.
Nico began to speak but was interrupted by Zora saying, "What about one of those Mackenzie Falls losers?"
"Perfect little one! If Sonny can date the enemy, so can I," Tawni patted Zora on the head again.
"Except Sonny is actually dating the enemy and your lying to the world," Zora laughed and pulled a bag of pistachios out of her pocket.
"Minor details, anyway I'm going to need someone who is pretty ninja to go sneak me out a picture of one of those pretty boys," Tawni smiled sweetly and patted Zora on the head lightly again.
"If you pat me on the head again, I'm going to rip your hand off," Zora smiled back and Tawni scooted away from her young co-worker. Nico stiffened a laugh and continued listening to the girls. "If you want me to do the job you have to do something for me first," Zora stated.
"What is it," Tawni asked eager to put her plan into action.
"Grady has a forty-nine ounce jar of mayonnaise and need for my pistachios," Zora informed Tawni. Nico remembered the jar of mayonnaise his best friend kept in their dressing room. He smiled in response to his thoughts and continued listening.
"He seriously has a forty-nine ounce, wait you eat pistachios with mayonnaise," Tawni questioned.
"Who said anything about eating," Zora smiled and pulled a candlestick out of her other pocket.
"I don't even want to know," Tawni said scooting further away from Zora, "but how am I suppose to get the jar from him."
"Not my problem, now get me my jar or no deal blondie," Zora said and with that she climbed back up her rope.
"Okay, mayonnaise here I come," Tawni yelled and walked towards the door.
At the same time, Nico headed towards the door and caught Tawni's eye. "Oh hey Nico, I hadn't seen you in here," Tawni smiled.
"Yeah, I was just looking at Bailey hats on my laptop," Nico smiled back.
"As in The Bailey Hat Company," Tawni asked.
"Yes, you would be corrected," Nico, responded.
"Wow, I'm impressed. Guys usually don't care about style and designers but I guess I shouldn't' be surprised, I mean you are always the best dressed person here," Tawni explained playing with a curl, "besides me of course."
Nico laughed, happy to know that Tawni approved of his fashion sense. He watched her play with one of her curls and said, "If I had hair as nice as yours and curls courtesy of Aveda hair care products I would have to be best dressed all the time too."
"You know about product," Tawni asked stepping closer to Nico and tilting her head to the side.
"Well yeah, actually I was wondering," Nico began as Grady walked down the hallway past the two. Tawni stopped paying attention when she saw Grady and interrupted her friend.
"Sorry Nico got to go," and with that Tawni sped down the hallway to catch up with Grady.
Nico sighed and looked down at the ground. A second passed and Nico looked back up and towards his dressing room with a smile on his face.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter : )
