Only a 4 month hiatus this time my muse is sucked into the glee fandom as of present though shockingly I'm RPing as Katie in a Glee/Degrassi RP on Tumblr if anyone is interested in joining or just looking at my page let me know.

Once Manny and Spinelli arrived at the Dot Spinelli rolled his eyes.

"Is this the place that you are meeting your man?" he asked, "because from the sound of your descriptions in the cab it sounded to me like this place was much more than a mere café."

Manny let out a laugh and pointed to the flight of steps that climbed outside the building fire escape style.

"I told you it was called Above the Dot hence it being ABOVE the DOT."

Spinelli smiled.

"Oh, even a genius like me has his moments."

Manny just let out a little laugh before the duo climbed up the steps and entered the club.

It was definitely not the kind of place Spinelli thought it would be. He thought it would be some small extension of the café but to be honest this place reminded him of Jakes…well that was if Jakes was alcohol free.

Looking out at the crowd he watched as Manny got lost in it to find her man while he began to scan around for something, anything, he didn't know what until he spotted a woman from across the room. There was just something about her, she looked like his Maximista that was if his Maximista was a brunette and wore cloths off the rack. It was then that he noticed a band playing on the stage and he had an idea…. Even if it was for a crowd of strangers he would practice his methods of wooing his woman.

Maxie was really enjoying the ambiance of the club as she was dancing around with Jay.

"I'm so glad you decided to take me here instead of kicking me out to spend a romantic evening with Manny."

Jay let out a laugh as a smirk crossed his face making him look like some deranged albeit adorable carnation of a Cheshire cat.

"Well, be prepared to be kicked out tomorrow sweetheart… Manny's only in town a few days and we need to have SOME alone time together."

Maxie just nodded as she continued to move to the music where a familiar figure caught her eye.

"No," she said in a whisper, "it couldn't be."

"What couldn't be?" Jay asked breaking Maxie from her thoughts.

"Um….nothing….can we dance a bit closer?"

Jay shrugged pulling Maxie in so they were mere inches apart as they swayed to the music when suddenly a voice rang out.

"JAY! You tell me to meet me here and I see you grinding with some…."

"She's my cousin."

"Bull."

Manny looked like she was about to pounce on the other woman when Maxie took a step back.

"You got me, I'm not Jay's cousin it's a cover…you're an actress you understand."

"I understand some trollop is messing around with my man."

"Trollop…."

"Yea Trollop…."

It seemed in the moment a catfight was about to brew and as much as Jay thought that scene would be all kinds of hot he didn't want to lose his girlfriend over a misunderstanding.

"Manny, this is Maxie. She came into the shop one evening down on her luck and I kind of helped her out. Don't worry your petty little but off though nothing happened."

"Jay's right," Maxie said, "I'm not ready for a relationship and even if I was you've been all he's talked about."

"I have?"

Jay nodded.

"I have."

It was then that something clicked in Manny's ears.

"Wait, you said your name is Maxie."

"Well, to most people its Julie Hogart now but yea…why do you ask?"

"It's just…. Well it's kind of cuckoo bananas but I shared a cab with a guy who was looking for a girl by the name of Maxie and well….how many Maxie's could there be in town?"

Maxie paused thinking that it was Spinelli come to find her but that was impossible right? Spinelli died at the Carnival and so she shook her head and began to passively observe the crowd as Jay and Manny began to dance when suddenly the sounds of the band playing stopped suddenly and a figure stood on the stage…. a figure that made Maxie wonder if her heard somehow stopped and she had passed out dead because it had to be a ghost it just had to.

"I'm sorry for interrupting the ambiance of the evening but my name is Damian Spinelli and well… I've got something I'd like to say…"
