As she dressed in the dressing room with the other girls, Serena thought about her two weeks' notice that she had typed up and placed in her duffle bag. She was going to give it to Katsy at the beginning of her shift but decided against it. She figured giving it to her when she left for the night would be better. Even though it wasn't the best job, the women she worked with had begun to be a part of her small family in a way and she wasn't really ready to part from them but then again… when did a knight with a shiny stethoscope every come along and sweep you off your feet? As she tied her loosely with lavender ribbon, Katzy came in and placed a mask on her dressing room counter in front of her.

Serena looked up at her quizzically. Katsy simply smiled and had a happy gleam in her eye. She then grabbed Serena and kissed both of her cheeks.

"Katz, what's up?" Serena asked laughing

"You are! That's what's up! You have a visitor tonight. AND he's paying big money. I don't know what this place would do without you!" She said gleefully.

Serena wondered who this visitor was and smiled slightly. It only made her feel slightly guilty for getting ready to give her letter tonight. Katsy looked around the room to see most of the girls had already left out and it was only her and Serena. She stood behind Serena and made her face the mirror and stare at their reflections.

"Now that it's really just us in here I have a proposition for you. Don't turn me down as of yet though. Since you've been here we've went up in revenue drastically here at Club Panther. I even have investors that love the place and it's class- well as much of it as it's gonna have and they want another spot open within the next 6 months to a year. It won't be here so I'll have to go help with the ground work and I was wondering if you'd help me run this place. You know, kinda like a partnership. I'll have my lawyer draw up some papers for you to look over. I want you to be my partner at the new place as well and call it The Other Side of the Moon. It's still in the works so just think about it. I know you're young but you have that drive that I saw in myself at your age. I can show you the ropes and everything. We'll have to go to lunch and discuss your promotion and such but for tonight I need you to take care of the gentleman that's waiting for you in the Silk Den. Wear your mask again will you?" Katsy said quickly and quietly in a very businesslike tone.

Serena was in awe. She just stared at Katsy through the mirror. Katsy gave the girl shoulder a squeeze and a warm smile.

"Don't look so much in awe. I honestly see something in you and I am usually never wrong with my gut instinct. You got a minute to think about it. Let it marinate. I'll teach you what you need to know to survive but I'll leave you for now to ponder."

Katsy walked of the dressing room feeling good about her decision. Serena just simply sat there and stared. She didn't see this coming at all. She looked down at the white mask that had pearls and sequins adorned it. She slipped it on and decided to not let this stop her from working tonight. She had so many mixed emotions going through her right now. She really wished her parents were alive right now so she could get some solid advice but then again if they were she wouldn't be doing what she was doing now. She sighed softy and applied some lip gloss. No need in thinking about the what ifs. Maybe it was time to tell Mal about her job. She quickly shook it from her head. She was terrified of what he'd think of her.

"Get it together girl" She muttered softly.

She stood up and hurried to the silk den to take care of her client. She had so much going through her mind that she never wondered who would be waiting for her there.

Note: I know you hate me! I wanted to post no matter how short but I'll make another post this week! Stay tuned! I will update the others too!
