A nurse came into the room, humming to herself, holding a needle. She looks up seeing Tommy and Sadie. She smiles brightly at them.

Nurse: Hi, I'm Shannon, I'm just here to give Mr. Quincy his morning pain-killers.( She looks away from Sadie to Tommy.) Are you in pain?

Tommy: Yeah, the usual. Where's Dr. Danvers?

Shannon: He's busy. He told me to cover for him.( She walks over to his bed, grabbing his IV, sticking the needle in the tiny hole. The medicine circulates through the clear, thin tube into Tommy's arm. Not even seconds later, Tommy sighs in content, feeling great and sleepy. That medicine works fast as hell. He yawns softly, his eyes fluttering closed. Shannon smiles.)

Shannon turns to Sadie: The medicine's very strong, so he'll be out for a while.( Sadie nods not speaking, upset that she made Tommy go to sleep. Shannon decomposed the needle and leaves the room. Sadie sighs, flopping down into the chair next to Tommy's bed.)

Back with Jude and Pixie....... They had left Starbucks and went to Jude's house. They were in the living room watching Step Brothers. Jude loved that movie. It was hilarious.

Pixie laughs: I love this movie!( Jude nods, grabbing an hand-full of Carmel popcorn, dropping a few in her mouth.) This is fun. You know, us hanging out.( Jude looks at her chewing softly.)

Jude grins: You sound like you never hung out before.( She jokes, laughing. Pixie didn't. Jude stops and look at Pixie with wide eyes. ) You've never hung out with friends before?!

Pixie frowns: Yes! No.( She sighs.) It's kinda hard to make friends, when you move from city to city. I mean, I've made friends but not long enough to do stuff together. Or when we do plan stuff, my work gets in the way. CD signing, photo shoots, videos, concerts, world tours. After I finish with a music company, I move on to another. I have no time really to do things on my own or with people I care about.

Jude looks at her in sympathy: Wow, that's kinda sad.

Pixie shrugs, and looks down at her $300 dollars shoes: It's okay, I'm use to it.( She grabs some popcorn and sat back into the couch. Jude looks at her but don't say anything, knowing Pixie didn't want to talk about it anymore. Jude quietly finished her popcorn and turns to Pixie.)

Jude: I just want you to know that, I'll always be your friend; no matter where you go.( Pixie looks away from the TV to Jude.) It doesn't matter if you're going to leave after your album, because I'll still be your friend. ( Pixie's eyes starts to get watery.) And if you need anything, someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, I'm here. I just thought I'd tell you that, because you're not alone.

Pixie smiles, wiping the corners of her eyes where tears had produced: Thank you, Jude. It means a lot. Really.( Jude smiles, holding out her arms for Pixie. Pixie sniffs lightly, jumping into the open arms. Jude hugs her tight; rubbing her hair and back gently.) You're the best, Jude.

Jude smiles and hugs tighter: Thanks. You're not so bad yourself.( She said, trying to make the sad blonde laugh. It worked. Pixie laughs and pulls away, looking straight at Jude.)

Pixie smiles softly: Thanks, Jude. Really.( Jude shook her head, tucking the big chunk of blonde hair that was hanging loosely in front of Pixie's face back behind her ears.)

Jude: No problem. That's what friends are for, right?( She asks, a smiling tugging at her lips. Pixie nods, genuinely happy to have a friend like Jude. Abruptly, Jude stood up from the couch, Pixie looks at her in confusion.) Come on!

Pixie: What?

Jude: We've got a lot work to do!( Pixie's eyebrows rose and connected in confusion.)

Pixie's eyes narrows: A lot of work to do? What-what are you talking about, Jude?

Jude smiles, grabbing Pixie's hands and pulls her up off the couch: I mean, that you've got to make up all those times you missed on being a teenager and having fun.

Pixie smirks, as her face softens: Jude, I'm still am one.

Jude chuckles: I know. Well, when you were younger, let's say that.( Pixie nods.) Can I ask you a question?( She asks, suddenly.)

Pixie shrugs: Sure. What?

Jude: How old were you when you started in the music industry?

Pixie crosses her arms: Fourteen.

Jude: And how old are you now?

Pixie tilts her head, looking at Jude: Nineteen, why? Where is all this coming from?

Jude smiles again: Well, we've got to make up those 5 years, now don't we?

Pixie grins unsure: Sure, I guess. Why are you talking about this though?

Jude: Because everyone deserves to have a fun, normal teenaged experience! Don't you think so?

Pixie nods: Yeah, sure. But why?

Jude sighs: I just told yo-( Pixie cuts her off.)

Pixie: I've got that. But why? Why me?

Jude sighs again but more softly: Because you didn't when you were younger. Why don't you count a few times, you had things planned but work got in the way?( Pixie visibly flinches. That hurt. She knew Jude didn't mean anything by it, but it still hurt. Bad. Jude's stomach clenches with guilt, she didn't mean to hurt Pixie. She just wanted her to understand where she was coming from.)

Pixie mutters, looking away from Jude: A lot.

Jude nods: Okay. Name something you wanted to do or go but couldn't?( She asks, trying to catch Pixie's eyes. She wasn't successful.)

Pixie sighs, looking back up at Jude: Prom. I was gonna go with Reid Garwin. We had been be together for over a year. He was my first. God, he was gorgeous!( Pixie smiles, remembering her sexy, bad-ass boyfriend.)

Jude smiles along with her: What happened?

Pixie sighs and rolls her eyes: Well, when I was getting ready for Reid to pick me up, Michael, my boss called and told me I had a last minute CD signing. I was so mad. I told him that it was prom but he said he didn't care and that I'll be going to that signing no matter what. I was under a contract, so I couldn't do anything.( Pixie sighs, tears filling her hazel eyes.) I was just about to call Reid but he was already at my house. He looked so good in his suit. And when I told him, he was so infuriated and hurt. The look he gave me had so much pain and hate in them. ( Pixie sniffs, rubbing her eyes trying to get rid of the tears.) I broke his heart.

Jude frowns, wrapping her arms around Pixie, pulling her to her chest. Pixie sobs painfully and heavily into Jude's chest. Jude closes her eyes, rubbing Pixie's back soothingly, trying to calm down the harsh sobs.

Jude: It's okay. It's okay.( She said, rubbing Pixie's back continuously; hoping she'd calm down.)

Pixie: I just really wanted to go to prom.( She said into Jude's shoulder.)

Jude: Ok. Well, you just let me handle that.

Pixie sniffs, wiping her nose: What do you mean?( She asks, confusion lancing her voice.)

Jude smiles to herself: You'll see.
