KERIA & CLAYTON

"Jeez KC, got enough clothes?" Clayton asked as he walked into Keria's bedroom. She was unpacking the bags that she and Penelope had bought that afternoon into one of the dressers. She looked up to him.

"For one, all I had brought for a three day trip was five shirts, a dress, and five pairs of jeans, so I needed to restock, and for two, bite me." Keria told him as she continued. He just rolled his eyes and went into the kitchen.

"Do we have anything to eat in here?" Keria poked her head out of her doorway.

"Dude, we've only been here for twenty minutes. Do you think we have food?"

"Zee, I'm a guy, food is one of the two things that is always on my mind." He replied. Suddenly a shirt came flying out of her room and hit him in the face. "Hey!"

"Would you make up your mind on my nickname? Seriously I'm going to have an identity issue soon!" Keria quickly tossed the rest of her clothes into her closet and shut the doors before anything feel out. She walked out into the living room, sat on the couch and turned on the TV. Clayton plopped down on the couch beside her.

"I'm bored." He told her. "Let's go out!" Keria gave him a funny look. "Not like that! I mean let's go to a movie or play or something!"

At the word "play" Keria remembered her earlier conversation with Penelope. "I got to go!"

Clayton sat up. "Where are you going?"

"Penelope and Tom's because…we need food!" Keria said as she grabbed her coat.

"That's my girl!" Clayton called while she left. "If you're not back in 20 minutes, I'm ordering pizza!"

Keria ran down the hallway to Penelope and Tom's apartment, and took out a bobby pin. Before she was about to pick the lock, she had a thought and turned the handle. The door opened. Keria smiled and just walked in.

"Guys?" she called out. "Are you in here?"

"In the bedroom!" Penelope called. Keria made a face, and there was a beat of silence. "Mind out of the gutter KC!" Keria just smiled and made her way to the bedroom and slowly opened the door. Penelope and Tom were both sitting on a different side of the bed that had been duct-taped down the middle. Keria shook her head.

"Okay, I should comment on how you two are sitting on opposite sides of a room that should be in a porno film, but I won't, because I need to talk to Penelope like right now." Keria walked over to the bed and grabbed Penelope's hand and led her out of the apartment.

"How did you get in anyway?" Penelope asked as Keria led her out into the hallway.

"Something my Uncle Rusty taught me, but that's not important!" Keria replied. "I was reading more on RENT, and let me tell you there are a lot of people who want this!"

"Well I want it more!" Penelope said. "Which character do you think I should try out for?"

"Well, you could kinda play any of the females. Mimi is a dancer, Maureen is a performance artist, and Joanne is the lawyer."

"Cut the lawyer. Pros and cons of both Mimi and Maureen?"

"Maureen, have a totally nuts scene where you can sing and moon and 'moo'" Penelope gave her a look. "Or Mimi, who dances in practically in a striper club for lack of better term."

"Well, they both sound good!" Penelope said.

"As Maureen you make out with a girl, and as Mimi there is this one guy named Adam Pascal who is apparently trying out for the roll of Roger AKA Mimi's love interest."

Penelope didn't even think for a second. "Mimi it is!"

Keria smiled. "Great! We can go stop down at the theater to pick you up a scene reading and then you can practice."

"And on the way we can look for a band that needs a drummer!" Penelope replied. "Do you think the guys can handle themselves alone?"

"I left a takeout menu by the door. I think they are capable of calling in for pizza."

"What if they kill themselves over the toppings?"

"Then we dump them in the porno room and live in my apartment."
