Loren and Eddie arrived at MK. As soon as they walked in, Loren was rushed to go change. Eddie had a few minutes so he went upstairs to talk to his dad. He knocked for a few minutes then decided just to go in. When he got inside he noticed it was empty. He then saw Max and Nora wrapped in a blanket, on the floor, sleeping. He was really happy that his dad finally found someone. It was a little weird that it was Loren's mom, but he didn't really care. Nora was already a mom to him. He wanted Loren to see this so he quickly took a picture and sent it to Loren. He quietly shut the door and went downstairs. As soon as he got downstairs Jake run over to Eddie.
Jake: Eddie! Long time no see.
Eddie: Yeah….I think we need to see less of each other..
Jake: Very funny. Anyway, you need to go change.
Eddie: Ok let's go.
Eddie and Jake went back to the dressing rooms. When he got there Jeremy was just finishing get dressed.
Eddie: Jeremy! How are you?
Jeremy: Hey Eddie! I'm great! I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the meeting yesterday.
Eddie: It's alright. You can't help it when you get sick.
Jeremy: Sick? I wasn't sick. Lia never told me about it.
Eddie was confused. He thought Lia said Jeremy was sick. Lia was definitely was up to no good.
Eddie: Oh, Lia said you were sick.
Jeremy: Lia was probably just covering for her forgetting to tell me.
Eddie: Right..
Jeremy: Well I'm going to go find Lia. See if she is ready yet.
Eddie: Ok, well it was nice seeing you again.
Jeremy: Yeah you too.
Jeremy left. Jake turned to Eddie.
Jake: Well that was weird.
Eddie: Yeah, tell me about it. Lia is up to something.
Jake: Do you want me to talk to her?
Eddie: No. Let's just see how today goes.

Loren was rushed back to hair and make-up. When she got there Lia was getting her hair done. She didn't want to talk to Lia but thought it was a good idea to break the ice.
Loren: Hey Lia.
Lia: Hi..
Loren: Are you excited about today?
Lia: Ummmm…yeah I guess…
Loren thought she would leave it at that. Loren sat down to get her make-up done.
Gina: Hi Loren, I'm Gina. I will be doing your make-up. Jake told me that you have freedom to tell me how you want your make-up done.
Loren: Oh wow, umm I want to keep it simple. But other than that you can do whatever.
Gina: Ok, sounds good.
Loren was getting her make-up down when she got a text from Eddie. It was a picture of her mom and Max. She thought it was the cutest thing ever. She was really happy her mom had Max.
Gina: Ok Loren, I'm all done!
Loren looked and the mirror and loved it. It was dark but still looked simple.
Loren: Thank you Gina.
Jake walked in just as Loren was starting to get her hair done.
Jake: Lia we are ready for you.
Lia: Ok let me get dressed real quick.
Jake: Hey Loren! You look great.
Loren: Thanks Jake. So what is the plan for today?
Jake: Well Lia and Jeremy are going to take their pictures. Then you and Eddie will take some pictures, do 3 interviews, and have a rehearsal later tonight.
Loren: Ok, sounds great!
Jake: Yeah so I have-
Jake looked down at Loren's hand and saw the ring Eddie gave her. Loren saw that Jake noticed.
Jake: Loren, Eddie didn't-
Loren: No Jake, it's a promise ring. Don't worry.
Jake: Ok, I'm not saying it would be a bad thing, I just think now isn't the right time.
Loren: Eddie and I think the same thing.
Jake: Ok anyway, we have 3 different outfits for you to choose from. It's up to you.
Loren: Ok, I should be ready soon.
Jake: Eddie should be ready soon too.
Lia walked out. She was wearing the same outfit Loren wore in her video for Mars. Loren thought it was a little weird Lia would wear that but she shook it off. She didn't want Lia to get under her skin.
Lia knew Loren recognized the outfit. She picked the outfit knowing Loren has worn it before. She wanted to get under Loren's skin.
Lia: Ok, I'm ready.
Jake: Lia, you know Loren has already worn that outfit..Are you sure you don't want to wear something else?
Lia: Nope. I like this outfit.
Jake: Ok whatever you want. Come out when you are ready Loren.
Loren: Kay.
Jake and Lia left the dressing room.
Gina: Ok Loren, your hair is all done!
Loren's hair was pin straight.
Loren: Thanks Gina. Now where do I get dressed?
Gina: Just around the corner there is a rack with 3 different outfits. You can pick whatever one you want.
Loren: Ok thanks.
Loren went in the back and found the outfits. They were all black so she assumed that Eddie would be wearing black too. Two of the outfits were skin tight black dresses. The third outfit was leather pants with a black crop top and a black leather jacket. She tried on the dresses but they were way to short. So she decided to go with the third outfit. She couldn't find shoes so got dressed and went to go find Jake. On the way out she ran into Max.
Loren: Oh hey Max! Sorry I wasn't really looking.
Max: Neither was I. You look great!
Loren: Thanks. I'm trying to find some shoes.
Max: Oh well I can help you with that. I think I saw some just around the corner.
Loren: Thanks Max. So did my mom leave already?
Max: Your mom? What are you talking about?
Loren: Max I know she spent the night. Eddie sent me a picture of you two sleeping.
Max: Oh well in that case no. I think she is taking a shower.
Loren: Max, I'm really glad she has you.
Max: And I'm really glad Eddie has you.
Loren: Good because he is stuck with me.
Max: And your mom is stuck with me.
Just then Jake came running over.
Jake: Loren! Are you ready?
Loren: Yeah I just need shoes.
Jake: Ok I'll get you some but go find Eddie.
Loren: Whatever you say boss.
Loren went to look for Eddie. She couldn't find him any where. All of a sudden she felt two arms pick her up and throw her over his shoulders.
Eddie: Were you looking for someone?
Loren: Eddie! Put me down!
Eddie: Nope. Not until I have too.
Jake: Loren, I thought I told you to find Eddie, not have Eddie find you.
Eddie: She isn't very good at finding things.
Loren: Eddie put me down!I need to put shoes on!
Eddie: No, Jake put Loren's shoes on.
Jake put Loren's shoes on.
Jake: Ok, Lia and Jeremy are almost done so just go wait over by them.
Eddie: Ok Loren let's go!
Eddie carried Loren to where the photos were being taken. Eddie finally put Loren down.
Loren: Thank you. I was starting to feel sick.
Eddie: Baby.
Loren: What did you just call me?
Eddie: A baby.
Loren: Do you want to sleep on the couch tonight?
Eddie: What! No!
Loren: Then I suggest you shut up!
Eddie: Make me.
Loren gave Eddie a kiss and started to deepen it but then quickly pulled back.
Eddie: Not fair.
Loren: Don't call me a baby again.
Eddie: Fine I will never in a billion years call you a baby again. Now make me shut up again.
Loren: Nope.
Eddie moved his hand up Loren's thigh. Loren quickly slapped it away.
Loren: Eddie! What are you doing?
Eddie: I want another kiss.
Loren: And you thought you would get one by rubbing my leg?
Eddie: Yup.
Loren: I think your sleeping on the couch tonight.
Eddie: If I am so are you.
Eddie leaned in for a kiss but then Lia interrupted.
Lia: Hi Eddie.
Eddie groaned.
Eddie: Hi Lia.
Lia: Are you excited for tomorrow?
Eddie noticed the outfit Lia was wearing. He looked and Loren then back at Lia.
Eddie: Sure. But Loren and I have to go take photos so it was nice talking to you.
Eddie grabbed Loren's hand and walked away.
Eddie: Why was she wearing that?
Loren: I don't know.
Eddie: Well you look better in that outfit than her.
Eddie pulled Loren in and gave her a quick kiss.
Eddie: But I think you look even better with out it on.
Loren: Eddie! That's enough!
Eddie: I'm only speaking what's on my mind.
Loren: You have a dirty dirty mind.
Eddie: What can I say? I just love my girlfriend.
Eddie leaned in for a kiss but Jake pulled him back.
Jake: Eddie we don't have time for that. Come on we need to take these photos.
Eddie: Ugh! Fine.
Eddie and Loren walked over to the photo-shoot and were surprised by who they saw.
