Chapter 4
During the plane ride Philip and Anne talked each other's ears off about everything and nothing they both learned that they were heading to L.A little did they know fate was working its trickery.
Philip: so, what brings you to L.A?
Anne: I'm Auditioning to be a part of some show with my older brother W.D we are a trapeze act
Philip: wow I would to see you in action along with your brother of Couse
Anne: Well keep your fingers cross that we pass our audition and maybe just maybe you will get to see the Wheeler siblings in action.
Philip: can't wait
Captain: Ladies and Gentleman we are now pulling into LAX please fold up your tray tables and remain seated until the plane comes to a full stop, and thanks for flying with JFK airlines.
Anne: well I guess I'll see you around Phil
Philip: most definably
Anne: see you around then.
Philip: bye
Philip was dead on his feet but try as he might couldn't fall asleep his mind was racing with thoughts of the beautiful caramel colored goddess who sat next to him on the flight here, he wanted to know her mind body and soul but he knew full well he was only here for a year then after said year was up he go back to his normal life. So, it made to sense to peruse her at all he was ok with having just the small interaction the plane.
Philip woke around 10 in the morning to begrudgingly start his new job as the new ringmaster of The Tip Top Circus Philip didn't know the first thing about running a circus lucky his uncle planned ahead and asked his old friend PT to help show Philip the ins and outs of running a successful circus show.
(knock at the door)
Philip: who is it?
Paul: hi I'm Paul Tomas I used to help Charlie run the circus before I retired
Philip: it's great to meet your thanks for all your help this is all so strange to me
Paul: I understand it was all new to me when I started as well
Philip: How did you meet my uncle?
Paul: we went to the same college but we had different majors, I wanted to be a dance choreographer but my parents wanted me to be a lawyer, we meet in the student center both studying but either of us were into what we were reading.
So, we started talking about how nither of us liked our majors and discussed our true passions for the art of performing that when he got this beyond crazy idea that he could start a circus where he would be the ringmaster and I would be head of choreography.
I told him he was insane and that know bank would loan him money to run a traveling circus but he was determined to make this insane dream of his come true and he wanted me along for the ride it was the best years of my life I only stop because I met my wife Isabelle and wanted to settle down with her Charlie was sad to see me go but understood that while performing was everything to me I found something even more special and fulfilling which is being a husband and father, So, when I heard about his death and that his nephew was taking over his position I just had to help
Philip: well it's greatly appreciated so what's my first act of business as a ringmaster
Paul: your uncle loved this part of the show the most adding new acts to the show we start auditions today.
