I was so nervous as I pulled through the Paramount arches and parked my car. I was actually physically shaking as I got out and walked into the first table read of a new show I had barely booked titled Glee.

It was all such a whirlwind and now here I was stumbling down a hallway wondering how I got here and why in the world I decided to wear heels. I know what you're thinking, that I'm a klutz and I fell, this one occasion you would be wrong! I managed to make it all the way down an exceedingly long hallway to the seat that had a place card with my name on it. Shocking isn't it.

I sat there fiddling with the hem of my dress taking all of it in. The room was about half filled and several others came over and introduced themselves. They all seemed very nice, there was Amber, Cory, Kevin, Chris, Harry, and Mark. The girl i was sitting next to, who was very pretty might i add, her name is Naya. After chatting with her for a few minutes I could easily see us becoming great friends.

The girl a couple seats down from me who name is Jenna was very bubbly but in a good way, she told me of when she had been on broadway and the person we were all waiting for who was to sit in the empty chair next to me.

All of a sudden a burst of energy hit the room. I turned my head and in one second the empty seat next to me was occupied. As she sat she announced to the room "Sorry I'm late everyone I got stuck in traffic, if you don't know me I'm Lea".

I was a little distracted by her smile which was really really white and rather close to my face for someone I had never met as she turned to me talking in a much softer voice "Your'e Dianna right, and you're playing Quinn, this is gonna be so much fun, I'm playing Rachel"!

We all made it through the table read rather unscathed. As I reached down to put my script in my purse Lea's hand lightly stopped my wrist. "Hey, Jenna, Naya, and I are going to go grab dinner, wanna come?" I smiled at her "That sounds great". I was surprised i got any words out as i was transfixed by her sparkling brown eyes.

As we sat down Jenna clapped her hands "So we have two New Yorkers and two Californians, this is wonderful"! Lea smiled "Lets tell a little bit about ourselves, I'll go first! Like Jenna said I am from New York and have been on Broadway since I was 8 which is when I met Jenna". Jenna laughed "And that would be my story". "I've acted since i was little" Naya added.

I was getting a little nervous as I was rather new to acting mostly looking at the three other girls histories I decided to just go with my gut. "Well I was born in Savannah, lived in Texas for a while, and then moved to San Francisco." Everyone smiled and I released the breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"Okay siblings, go" Naya commanded. Jenna was first "I'm an only child". "Me too" Lea added. "I have one brother" I said taking a drink of my tea. "Cool, I have a brother and sister" Naya finished off the question.

Before we knew it it was an hour and a half later and we had all really bonded. Jenna was the first one who had to leave to go home and skype with her parents. We made sure that we all had each others numbers and with that Naya was off as well to catch up on reality tv which sounded like a great evening at least to me.

Lea and I got up after a few more minutes to walk to our cars. After walking through the door she linked her arm with mine, I looked over at her "Ya know I actually saw you in Spring Awakening awhile back, you were amazing". She instantly smiled widely and pulled me a little closer "You really think so, that means so much"! We both giggled at that, kind of like a mutual unspoken I like you I like you too.

I spent the entire weekend memorizing my script and worrying that this pilot could not even get picked up. Suddenly it was monday and I had parked my car at Paramount and was walking up the steps of the trailer I would be sharing with Lea for the filming of the pilot.

I opened up the door to find Lea sitting on the couch "Hey" she said looking up from her computer "Nervous"? I let out a sigh "Not gonna lie very much so". I put all of my stuff down on the counter and sat next to her. She closed her laptop and turned towards me "Me too, its my first time being on a television show and I'm not used to the set up, I was going crazy all weekend".

I chuckled "You're making me feel a little better". "Hey!" she said swatting my arm lightly. We spent a good hour getting to know each other better and just talking and laughing since we weren't shooting for a little while. It was so easy to be around Lea, not that I wasn't still guarded cause I usually was with friends for a little while. Id say I'm non confrontational.

We heard a knock at the door "Five minutes till make up ladies". Lea smiled "Well I guess we should be going, after you my lady". I could sense the confused look on my face "Lady?" She opened the door "Sorry, thats just what I call my friends, unless we are talking about my guy friends, then not so much". "I like it" I said linking our arms as we walked towards the make up trailer.

We finished filming the pilot and Lea and I were in our trailer collecting our things when Lea turned to me "What are you up to tonight?" "Ignoring my roommate and her boyfriend through very thin walls." I cringed a little, it was true they were very noisy and it was making me want to move but I couldn't afford to do that.

"Wanna go to a movie since its still early and then maybe get take out and you could even sleepover at my place if you want." Lea's offer sounded pretty darn good "Lea I wanna say again I'm sorry that I have to be so mean to you as Quinn, it really kills me". Lea smiled "But its who your character is, I'm perfectly okay, now is that a yes to my question?" I laughed "yes."

I drove to Lea's and we decided to just watch a movie and order take out. I decided on Mean Girls while Lea ordered vegan pizza. She skipped into the living room and jumped onto the couch "The pizza is on its way my lady". That whole situation made me laugh which she took as a good sign.

Lea pointed at the start up menu "Ya know, this movie never gets old, its so damn quotable, I love it!" "Its Tina Fey." "Can you imagine Jane and Tina in a scene together?" I pondered that for a second after Lea said it, Jane Lynch and Tina Fey "I dont even think there are words for that" we both laughed.

"Do you wanna start the movie or wait for the pizza" I asked. Lea furrowed her eyebrows "Lets wait for the pizza, in the mean time would you like some wine?" Never turn down the offer of wine, okay maybe sometimes but now is not one of them "Why yes that would be lovely".

I took the glass of wine she handed to me "Sometimes you talk so poetically Dianna, its beautiful". I blushed at the complement "Thanks, thats the other side of myself, Charlie". She raised an eyebrow "Charlie?" "Yeah, I've been to a psychic a couple of times and there is something about a Charlie watching over me and is a big part of my life so the artsy side of me I call Charlie." "That is fascinating" she smiled.

Two glasses of wine later the pizza finally arrived and Lea sat it on the coffee table. "I love pizza, I love pizza, I LOVE pizza". "I'm guessing you like pizza Iea?" She smiled and sat down "Why yes I do". "Who loves orange soda, Kel loves orange soda" we both said at the same time which sent us both into a fit of laughter. Somehow we had gravitated closer together but neither of us moved and it felt completely normal.

We didnt start the movie, instead we kept talking. Lea told me about her best friend in New York, Jon Groff, and we talked about how we really wanted Glee to be picked up so we could work together.

Finally we watched the movie and by the time it ended it was 2am. I followed Lea to her room to get ready to sleep. It was kind of like when you have a new friend in high school so its a little weird cause its all new and so you bring your cutest pajamas so that it seems like you always sleep in something adorable.

A couple weeks had passed since our sleepover and we had been hanging out with each other a lot waiting for news of a pick up. We happened to be at Starbucks when Leas phone rang "Hello?" she said a couple of yes's and then hung up.

She sat her phone on the table "We got picked up". "WHAT" I excitedly yelled probably sounding like a maniac. "I know!" We hugged each other across the table which gathered some more awkward stares.

Lea suddenly had a serious look on her face "So since we got picked up there is something that I was wanting to ask you that I've been thinking of for like a week". "Yeah?"

She sighed "I know you have been trying to find another apartment since your roommate is pretty much a total bitch, and I also know you were worried about how much it would cost you, so I was wondering if you wanted to just move into my second bedroom, I thought it might me fun to live together". "Are you sure Lea, I mean I don't want to impose?" "Don't be silly Di, I would love for you to move in." I gave her a big hug "Okay".

Lea managed to wrangle most of the cast and their vehicles the next weekend to help move my things. We had everything loaded by the time my roommate and her obnoxious boyfriend woke up. Everyone got the boxes into leas and we ordered food.

Jenna and I carried the pizza boxes to the counter while Lea and Harry carried the sodas. "Was all of this pizza really necessary?" Jenna asked. "Yes" lea and I said while looking at the boys who Harry had already gone over to. "Maybe us girls should get food before the boys come and pillage it all" Jenna had a point.

I pretended to raise a sword into the air "Let us plunder!" Amber walked in with Naya behind her "Are we vikings now?" I handed them both a plate "Yes". Naya played along "My dream has finally come true".

We ate and laughed and had everything of mine put away by 4pm. Cory, Mark, Harry, Amber, and Chris said their goodbyes and Lea and I thanked them or their help. Naya proposed that since kevin, lea, myself, and she didn't have any plans that night they should go out to dinner to celebrate.

Us girls were being so indecisive so Kevin chose Olive Garden. "Soup salad and breadstix" Naya skipped through the door Kevin was holding for her. "Is that what you're getting Naya?" She lightly poked Kevin's nose "Nope it isn't bee." They had for some reason started calling each other bee during the pilot, I had to admit it was cute, they were like brother and sister.

Naya was staring at the menu "Would it be too elaborate to order everything?" "Probably" Kevin said grabbing the menu out of Naya's hands. "Hey!" Kevin chuckled and gave it back to her while Naya stuck out her tongue at him.

"Filming on monday, are you guys excited?" Kevin asked with a smile. Lea clapped her hands "Hell yes". "Excitedly nervous" I added. It was true I was nervous about it all, but in a good way. This was something that I was really dreaming of and now there it was staring me right in the face and I couldn't have been happier.
