A/N: The thing is I'm going to China and so why not make this fun and put the RENT cast in China, just to see how they would respond to the entire thing. Plane ride, culture so on and so forth. I'm not going to put my self in it or anything. Think of it as a little experiment!!! Also I'm going to be writing it there so when I come back I'll type it and stuff but this is just the first chappy. I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I'm not a genius like Mr. Larson … I don't own RENT!
It was a typical evening at the loft. Maureen was gawking over models in a mag, Joanne was yelling at her for it, Mimi was getting ready for the Cat Scratch Club in the bed room, Roger was with her, Collins was making coffee … you get the idea perfectly normal.
…Until
"GUYS! GUYS!" Mark cried gleefully, running in the door closely fowled closely by an exceedingly happy Angel. Everyone in the room turned their heads dully to watch Mark practically skipping towards them.
Maureen was the first to comment, "Oh mark have so found someone who'll go out with you." Joanne nudged her in the ribs "Ow, pookie that hurt!"
"Ya well you deserved it."
"What was that!"
Mark waved his hands around like a maniac, "NO FIGHTING LISTEN LISTEN I WON!"
"You won what?" Collins said coming out of the kitchen.
Mark was so happy his head looked like it was likely to explode is anyone poked it. "China!" Angel said, bouncing up and down.
Maureen raised her eyebrows, "You won … China?" Mimi and Roger entered at that very moment.
Roger blinked
Mimi blinked
Mark was still waving his hands around like a mad man
"What's going on here?" Roger asked, looking over at Collins. Collins just shrugged and calmly took another sip of his coffee.
Mimi walked over to Angel trying to calm her down. Mark tried talking again, "I won this contest and we're going to China!"
Everyone in the room stared at Mark perplexedly. Then one by one the bohemians came to life.
"No!"
"How'd you win?"
"Really!"
"The girls at the club won't believe this!"
"All of us?"
"EEEEE This is going to be so much fun"
They all crowded around Mark. Except Mimi and Collins who tried to get ever bit of information they could out of Angel.
Mimi was bouncing up and down at the same rate or faster then Angel now, "How'd it happen" Angel smiled and stopped bouncing.
"Weeeeeell there was this contest I found out about and Mark entered and won it!"
"Contest?"
Angel nodded, smiling cheerfully, "Film contest!"
Angel was jumping again. Collins chuckled, "And we can all go? Isn't there some kind of limit to the number of people?"
Angel turned to him, still full of energy, " That's what we thought but no 'family' means family!"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Mimi and Angel screeched dancing around. Collins smiled at them and walked over to the others who were interrogating Mark like he was some kind of criminal.
"When do we leave?" Roger asked.
Mark thought for a moment, "I think they said … on June 22 of this year."
"THIS YEAR!" Joanne's eyes went wide.
Maureen froze turning to her, "Awwwww, pookie don't tell be you're working for that time!"
Joanne shook her head "no and if I was I'd take time off. It just seems really soon."
Maureen nodded her head in agreement, talking a hold of her hand only to find out…
"What the!" Collins said pulling his hand away.
Maureen turned her head to the side again eyes wide, "WO! Collins when do you get here?"
"He was there for a bit," Roger answered for him expressionless, before turning to back to Mark, "One more thing?"
"Ya?"
"What film did you hand in for that contest you were telling us about?" Roger asked, pondering about which one of Mark's movies would be the most uhhh… appropriate to win a prize this big.
Mark chuckled, "It was just something I was working o…" A door slamming cut him of.
"What the fuck was that!" Maureen questioned, turning away from Collins and Joanne to the sound of the noise. They all shrugged and kept on talking but Maureen was still looking around
"I think that was Angel and Mimi slamming the door on their way out." Collins said to answer her question.
"Where do you think they're going?" Maureen asked, not that it bothered her but she just wanted to know where they were going. I mean she could be missing out on a stamped of hot nude people out on the street.
"Home!"
Maureen's face fell, "Ohhhh" She snapped her fingers and walked back to her magazine. Joanne followed her, with a puzzled look on her face.
Roger walked up to Collins, "Did Mimi and Ang tell you why they left?"
"No" Collins replied
"Do you think they'll be alright?" Roger asked turning his head to the side, his face showing authentic concern about the two girls.
Collins nodded, "I think so, I'm more worried for the town … they might blow something up."
Roger eyes went wide
"Or maybe they went to Angel and my house to pack."
"You're right" Roger smiled, but then stopped, "Why would Mimi pack there here cloths are here?"
"They wear the same size?"
"That could be it, then" Roger nodded walking back to talk with Mark about what to do about the loft when they're away. Collins walked passed the bickering Maureen and Joanne to his poor cold cup of coffee.
