Rent 911!
It was a sunny afternoon, and everyone was gathered at the loft, just hanging out. Collins was reading the paper until he looked up and spoke.
"Hey, you guys want to be a cop for a week?"
"As in I have a gun and I'll arrest you kind of guy? Roger asked.
Collins nodded. "Yeah there is this thing in the paper, and it says become a cop for a week, and you will automatically be entered for a chance at eight thousand dollars."
"Do you have to have a clean record to enter?" Joanne asked as she walked behind the bigger man to read the fine print.
Collins shook his head. "No, it says anyone."
"Wow, they must be pretty desperate if they'll take just anyone." Mimi said.
Angel then skipped over to read the article. "Maybe they're trying to get more people involved in the community, which is a good idea; I think we should do it."
"I'm in," Roger said. "I used to want to be a cop…before I picked up a guitar and found out it was more fun."
"I'm in too!" Angel stated. "I think I could turn the uniform into something fun to wear."
"It says you need to enter with a partner." Joanne read. "But there are only seven of us…"
Benny then raised his hand. "You forgot about me, I divorced Alison remember? I came crawling back to you guys? I'm now broke and I moved back into the loft."
"Oh right…sorry." Joanne replied.
"Well does everyone want to do it?" Mark asked.
"No." Maureen answered as she stood up from the couch.
"Why not?" Mimi asked.
"Because, I'm not going to risk my life for other people just so they can get more people involved in the community. I'm even surprised you all want to do this. Remember my protest, they caused a riot and put people in jail, not to mention they ruined my show!" Maureen said while eyeing Benny. "I do protest that's my involvement in the community, so why should I risk getting shot at, when I can make a protest about how dumb cops are…and I'm sorry but I'm worth way more then eight thousand dollars… and…"
"It's for a reality show." Collins said cutting the diva off.
Maureen stopped and stared at everyone for a second. "You mean there will be camera's filming us?"
Collins nodded. "That's what is says."
Maureen smiled. "Okay I'm in!"
"But I thought you…" Mark began.
Maureen waved her hands. "Who cares what I said I'm gonna be on TV!"
"So everyone in?" Angel asked.
This time everyone agreed.
"I'll film our audition tapes." Mark said.
Mark set up his camera, and everyone filmed a small segment about themselves. After they were done they packaged up their stuff and sent it in the mail.
Two Weeks Later:
"Mail's here." Collins called out as he handed out everyone's.
"Everyone has mail?" Roger asked. "That's odd."
"It's the respond from that reality show." Mimi answered.
"Reality show?" Roger asked still confused.
Mimi nodded. "Yeah, you know the thing we sighed up for two weeks ago? We made an audition tape and everything?"
Mimi smiled as she watched the realization hit her boyfriends face. "Oh yeah."
Before anyone had a chance to read over their letter, Maureen sprang up off the couch.
"I'm in! They accepted me!"
"Congratulations sweetie." Angel smiled as she read over her letter. "ME TOO!"
"Getting accepted to something is almost better then sex." Maureen stated which caused everyone to stare. "I said almost!"
Everyone nodded and went back to their letters. Turned out they were all accepted, and shooting began tomorrow.
"This is so cool, I wonder if they'll let me film behind the scenes?" Mark asked.
"I still can't believe us, out of everyone are going to be cops for a week." Mimi said.
"Who cares, I'm going to be on TV!" Maureen said with triumph.
"Maybe I can find some clients during this." Joanne said with a little smirk.
Collins shook his head. "You lawyers, always looking for any excuse for a client."
Joanne shrugged. "I have to bring the money home somehow. I was also told if I get three more clients I get a promotion!"
Roger sat on the couch with wide eyes. "I can't believe it; I finally get to live my childhood dream."
Mimi sat down and wrapped her arms around him. "I thought your dream was to write that one great song?"
Roger shrugged. "I can have two dreams."
"I had a dream," Maureen began.
Benny nodded. "We know you jumped over the moon."
Maureen huffed. "Nobody asked you."
"Whatever, all I know is I'm excited to win that money." Benny stated.
"I'm thrilled; I wish it was tomorrow already!" Angel squealed.
"No day but today." Mimi reminded her.
Maureen glared a Benny. "Where's your sarcastic comment for her?"
"Relax honeybear," Joanne said as she pulled Maureen into a hug. "You're going to be on TV tomorrow."
Maureen smiled and giggled. "I'm with Angel; I wish it was tomorrow already!"
The rest of the evening they sat around the loft, talking about how much fun being on a reality show was going to be, and how excited they were. Before they knew it, it was one in the morning, so they all retreated to there respected places and got a good night sleep.
