Chapter 1
"Good morning, everyone! Jim Macaffey is my name and morning radio is my game! It is 6 AM on your favorite radio sta-"
Sydney reached over, fumbling for the snooze button on her alarm clock. There was no way she was getting out of bed for at least another fifteen minutes. But it was one of those mornings when the fifteen minutes seemed to pass as soon as she closed her eyes, and making a mental note to change her alarm to a standard beep instead of the awful radio show, she stumbled out of bed towards the bathroom.
Sydney shuffled towards the sink and braced herself against it with the weight of both her hands, groggily hanging her head. She slowly looked up, afraid of what would meet her gaze, and groaned to find a splotchy violet bruise along her left jawbone. "What a great start to the day," she griped as she stepped into the shower and proceeded to get ready for work.
After applying about a pound and a half of makeup to the offending bruise, Sydney entered the kitchen to find Francie dressed and beaming happily. Sydney gave her a faint smile and started to make coffee and toast for herself. Francie watched, expectant.
After about three minutes of Francie watching Sydney and Sydney becoming uncomfortable, Francie finally spoke: "Well, do you have anything to say to me? And why are you making breakfast?"
Sydney looked at her friend, bewildered. "Francie, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that…"
"Sydney!" The smile had left Francie's face. "We always go out for breakfast today!"
Sydney was still slightly confused. Her brain just didn't seem to be working…what was Francie talking about? She tried to rack her brain for the answer, and came up with nothing. "Francie, whatever it is, I'm really sorry…but it must be the jet lag that is slowing my mind down."
Francie frowned and gave Sydney a disappointed look. "It's my birthday, Syd."
Sydney was immediately awash with guilt. How could she have forgotten?
"Francie, I am so sorry! I cannot believe I forgot! It's just with my business trip and-"
"Yeah, I know, Syd," Francie broke in, getting slightly angry. "I know that your work is stressful and your trips tire you out."
"Francie…" 'How can I make this up to her?' Sydney thought. 'Saying I'm sorry isn't gonna cut it.' She was just about to open her mouth to say something else when her cell phone rang. "Hello?"
"Joey's Pizza."
"Wrong number." Sydney hung up and sighed. Now she had to leave Francie, after disappointing her so much, to meet Vaughn at the park. Then she was struck by a brilliant idea.
"You know what we haven't done in a while? Thrown a party."
Francie looked up at her roommate and smiled slightly. "You're right."
"And I am going to show you that I still am a good friend by throwing you a birthday party on Saturday. What do you say?"
"Oh, Syd, that's great! But you only have two days."
Sydney waved her hand in the air. "Two days? I could do it in one…but I'm going over Sloane's house for dinner tomorrow." Sydney winced, preparing herself for her friend's reaction towards mentioning work again.
Francie sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "Saturday's great."
"I couldn't do tomorrow anyway," remarked Will as he entered the kitchen.
"I didn't hear you come in…how long have you been here?" asked Sydney.
Will gave her a winning grin. "Just long enough to hear your plan."
"Well, I better be going." Sydney reached for her coat and briefcase.
"Already? I just got here."
"Sorry, Will, but I gotta run. Do me a favor and take Francie out to breakfast, will you?"
"My pleasure."
Sydney kissed him on the cheek in thanks. "I'll call you later Francie." She gave her friend a birthday hug and left, changing from Sydney the Devoted Friend and Roommate to Sydney the Double Agent.
