FINAL DISCLAIMER: I do not own RENT although I wish with all my heart I do. I also do not own any of the shops/ websites I have used in this story.

"David's Bridal?" Suggested Angel as they headed to the MoJo apartment. The other girls agreed.

"Can we search our dress?" Maureen asked. Angel nodded. They found the perfect one and bookmarked it. Joanne already had a suit so they looked for a wedding dress. Not one was quite right so the looked on She got one there and decided to get it at the store where she could also browse. They hung out in the living room after that, waiting for the boys to finish watching TV. "Mother!" Mimi suddenly shrieked. "I can't believe I didn't call mother! I mean sure, I haven't talked to her in a while but this is so exciting!"

"Calm down, Hon." Soothed Joanne, handing her the phone. Mimi took a deep breath and dialed the number she new by heart. "Mother? Mom, it's Miranda. I've got some big news. Are you sitting down?"

"Yes, dear. But why are you calling now?" Her mother replied pointedly.

"Mom." Mimi said warningly. "I'm getting married."

"Married?" Ms. Marquez screeched. "Why, we'll need a church, dress, bridesmaids. Molly, your old friend might fit the part."

"Mother, the wedding party is all figured out. I found my wedding dress five minutes ago." Said Mimi softly, not sure how she would take it. Hearing this, Maureen winced. Luckily, Ms. Marquez didn't seem to be offended .Mimi looked nervously at her friends after she called her mom. "You guys, I'll never be able to do this!"

"Oh Meems, of course you can! All you have to do is believe in yourself! And, you love Roger, so that will help," The other girls comforted her. She gave a half smile. "Tired, ladies?" Asked Benny. They nodded and Joanne yawned. They all laughed and she blushed. "We'd better leave. You need your sleep." Said Collins smilingly. Joanne and Maureen said goodbye to their guests, saw them off, and each went for a nap. The others left the house talking. "I'm gonna go to the park." Mark told them and walked off with his camera. Everyone shrugged and kept going. Mimi went to her NEW job at the local Walgreens, (A/N So what if it wasn't around back then… lol.) where she could also get good medication when she needed it. They still took their AZT. "Bye, Roger," Angel and Collins said to him. "Take your AZT." When they left, he walked to his bathroom and took his AZT. He wondered what Mark was up to. Roger went to the bedroom and went to bed. Mark had reached the park and was filming a cute older couple having a picnic. "Excuse me, is ziz seat taken?" Asked a strongly accented voice.

"No, no not at all." Mark mumbled, looking at the dark blonde woman in front of him. " 'Ank you, you are very kind. I am Celeste."

"I'm M-Mark. Mark Cohen."
"'Ello Mr. Cohen. Nice to meet you." They sat in silence for a moment.

"Are you cold, Celeste?" Asked Mark suddenly. She nodded.

"Let's go to my apartment to get some coffee." He suggested. She agreed. They took the subway to Mark's place and talked. Mark found out that Celeste had just moved from France and did not know her way around New York. She was a year younger than him, 23 and loved to act and sing. Mark thought she would get along very well with Maureen. She was single, and lived in a small apartment that she rented until she could earn enough money to get a better one. Her job sucked, she worked at a McDonalds getting minimum wage, but was recently offered a student teacher job in a music class. Basically, life had dropped her at the bottom of the heap. Celeste learned about Mark and his friends, been warned about his crazy family and, realized they would be great friends.

This story was retold to Roger and Mimi once they got to the apartment. All he could say was "Wow.". They all laughed.

"So let's hear you sing, Celeste." She obliged, singing do, re, mi, fa, so, la ti, do and back down again. Mark's eyes widened. "That was… great!" She smiled back at him. "'Ank you," Every person in the room knew that it was the beginning of a great friendship.

A/N How did you like it? Was it to much about Mark? I got the idea of them meeting on a bench from another fanfiction author, I apologize for stealing the basic idea of Trai (your character) meeting Mark. I liked it a lot. I will probably use the same MarkXCeleste idea in another story. R&R!
