This is like my favorite chappie, I don't know why. XD I guess it's because I like the ending and there's a little bit of everyone in this chap. :) Collins leaves though. :( But his fluff with Angel is good:D

Disclaimer: I LOVE RENT! WOOHOO!!! Lol. –Okay, that wasn't a disclaimer. I LOVE JONATHAN LARSON FOR MAKING RENT!!! Haha, there.

Chapter 11:

The Loft: August 13, 1991, 1 pm, Eastern Standard Time

"What movie is that?" Roger asked.

"SHHH!" came the reply of the 4 girls.

"Jesus, I was just…"

"SHHH!" the girls gave him angry, warning looks.

"Fine," Roger grumbled, walking away.

Mark came in a few moments later and got the same treatment.

"HEY! THAT'S TITANIC!" he pointed at the screen.

"SHHH!" the 4 girls repeated.

"Know what… in the end, Jack and Rose will…"

"SHUT UP, MARK!"

"Yikes," Mark backed away and sat beside Roger.

At the end of the movie, everyone but Ellie was weeping.

"WHY?!" Maureen cried over dramatically. "THEY ONLY HAD EACH OTHER!"

"I knew that was going to happen," Ellie mumbled, glaring at Mark.

Mimi ran into Roger's arms.

"At least they got to find true love before…" Mimi mumbled to herself.

Roger smiled as he patted Mimi's back.

"Do you think you'll ever find a love like that?" Mimi's tearstained face blinked up at Roger.

"I have," he answered.

"You."

Mimi smiled and kissed him.

"I love it when you make up crap for me," she laughed.

"Well," Mo stood up, finishing her drama scene.

"I'm going to go bug Annie at work."

She left the loft with a sniffle and a wave.

"See you all later at the Life for Thomas' goodbye party!"

Mark stood up and went over to the couch. He didn't notice that Ellie was still glaring at him.

"Hey Frankie," Mark smiled.

"Hi Mark," the girl tucked her lose hair behind her ear shyly.

Ellie stood up and pretended to fall, Mark caught her in time.

"Thank you, Mark," she giggled flirtatiously.

"Anytime."

Ellie took great care of brushing past Mark's butt before crossing the loft and into her room.

"Well. See you. Gotta film a bar mitzvah for a customer," Mark mumbled.

He hesitated but pecked Frankie's cheek before leaving.

Roger and Mimi snickered as Frankie went deep red.

"Looks like Mark's got himself a summer fling," Mimi teased.

"Frankie and Mark sitting in a tree," Roger sang like a child.

"Damn you," Frankie said, and rushed out to the fire escape.

Joanne's law firm: 2:30 pm

"POOKIE!"

"Honey, what are you doing here?" Joanne asked a bit irritably.

"I just wanted to check on you. You've been nothing but a work ass all week," Maureen frowned playfully.

"Yeah well… major case," Joanne grunted.

"Maybe we could go watch a movie or something… we just watched Titanic and it was so…"

"Maureen, can you go home? I'm busy."

Maureen frowned for real this time.

"Fine. Maureena and I will watch a movie on our own."

"Geez, Maureen. Maureena's make believe. Let her go."

"SHE IS SO NOT MAKE BELIEVE!" Maureen yelled in her protest voice.

"Hate to break the news to you, honey. But yeah, she is."

"GREAT! NOW SHE STORMED OUT OF THE ROOM! Oh, Annie you are so getting piss in your coffee cup outside."

"Don't call me ANNIE, Maureen. AND HOW CAN AN INVISIBLE PERSON PISS?" the lawyer stood up in anger.

"SHE NOT INVISIBLE!"

"OH? THEN WHY CAN'T ANYONE ELSE SEE HER BUT YOU?"

"SHE CHOOSES WHO TO SHOW HERSELF TO!"

Joanne shook her head, a little amused at Maureen.

"I'LL SHOW YOU, JOANNE JEFFERSON. I'LL BRING MAUREENA LATER TO THE LIFE! YOU'LL SEE!"

Maureen stormed out of the room after her invisible friend.

"WELL, WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT… I'LL BE HERE SINGING 'TOMORROW!" Joanne called after her.

"It's a hard not life," Joanne mumbled to herself.

Angel and Collins' flat: 3 pm

"Please don't go," Angel's eyes were tearing up.

"Baby, Santa Fe is only a few hours by car or bus," Collins reassured her, packing his bags.

"Still, it's not a 5 kilometer radius from here. I'd die!" Angel pouted.

"I'll write and call you every day."

Angel brushed away a tear and felt a little better.

"What about call me every 3 hours?"

Collins laughed. "Gelly, you still expect me to be able to put up a restaurant with me calling you every 3 hours?"

Angel frowned.

Collins sat beside her on the bed.

"Okay, every 5 hours," he smiled.

"Even at night?"

"Even at night."

"Okay," Angel smiled, feeling better.

Collins kissed her and went back to packing.

"Here, keep this with you," he said to her, handing her a stuffed teddy.

"Aw, not Galileo… you can't sleep without him," Angel teased.

"Yeah, but I'm giving him to you," Collins kissed her cheek.

"So you'll know that I'll be back because I have a reason to."

"To get Galileo back?"

"No," the professor smiled. "You."

They kissed again.

"Well, let's do this thingy," he sighed, rolling his bag to the door.

The Life Café: 4 pm

"Aw dammit. STAY!"

"I can't!"

"Aw come on, STAY! You know you want to."

"I bought the space! Do you want it to rot?"

"Yes! Just STAY!"

"Come on, Meems… Think about it, when I come back after 2 months, I'll have presents!" Collins bribed.

"Aw, okay," Mimi pouted. "But my present better be big!"

"And expensive!" she added, as she wrapped Roger's arm around her.

"Sure," Collins grinned and hugged his Latina friend.

Everyone hugged Collins one by one.

"Where's Momo?" Collins looked around for the drama queen.

"At the movies with her friend Maureena," Joanne grumbled.

Everyone laughed weakly.

"Well I can't wait up for her. Bus leaves in a while," Collins sighed.

"Bye sweetie," Angel said, kissing her lover and holding him tight.

Collins kissed her cheek.

"I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you more," Angel said, tears sliding down her cheeks.

"5 hours a day, Thomas, you promised."

"Will do, baby."

And the bus came and he got on with one last wave, the bus was gone. Collins was gone.

Angel: sniff

"HEY GUYS!" Maureen popped out of nowhere.

"Hey Momo," everyone said in a singsong voice.

"I want you guys to meet MAUREENA!" Maureen gestured to empty air beside her.

"MAUREEN. I TOLD YOU THAT WE CAN'T SEE HER," Joanne snapped angrily.

"Oh, poppycock," Maureen looked around.

She grabbed a girl nearby who was tying her sneakers.

"Guys, meet Maureena," Maureen grinned.

The girl looked up and grinned as well. Everyone's eyes fell out. She looked exactly like Maureen!

"Uh… hubba… dubba… boo… shcuba…" No one could say a word.

"Hi! I'm Maureena!" Maureena greeted, shaking everyone's limp hands.

Everyone just gaped at her.

"Told you," Maureen sneered.

"You're not pulling our legs right? Is that really your natural hair color?" Roger accused.

"Of course it is, silly," Maureena and Maureen laughed.

"And your name really is Maureena?" Mark raised an eyebrow.

"Maureena Johansen to be exact," Maureena shrugged.

"Baby, I gotta go. Protest," she rolled her eyes.

The two "twins" did some air kisses and Maureena skipped off with a wave.

"You guys looked like you've seen a ghost," Maureen teased, eating a marshmallow from her bag.

"Didn't we just see a ghost?" Mimi blinked rapidly.

"Honey, I'm sorry. I should've believed you," Joanne cupped her head.

"It's okay Annie," Maureen grinned triumphantly, giving her lover a kiss on the cheek.

"You're not dating her… are you?"

"NO! God, she's like my other half!" Maureen chuckled.

Everyone nearly fainted.

I want Maureena to be part of the gang now. WAHAHAHA. What do you think:) BTW: something good for Roger comes in the next chap. But it's the opposite for Mark:D
