Chapter 1 – A Star is Born

Sam, Alex, and Clover are just exiting their all time favorite hang out, the Mall. Each is carrying between two and four bags of merchandise.

"This 50 percent off clearance sale was awesome!" says Sam.

"I mean, totally!!! Designer skirts, blouses and slacks at 50 percent off! It's like I died and went to heaven!" says Clover excitedly.

"I'll say," says Alex, "and the accessories at 50 percent off too. What more can a cool girl ask for?"

"Well, how about a cool boy?" asks Clover as she watches a few pass by. Her cell phone interrupts her gaze.

"Hello? Yes, this is Clover Ames. No way! NO way!! NO WAY!!! Totally great!!! Thanks!!!!" Clover hangs up.

"You're not going to believe what just happened!!!" Clover gushes.

"It must be pretty exciting!" says Alex.

"It is! I won that guest appearance on that totally cool new television show, Hot Beverly Hills, and I get to meet dreaaaamy Danny Ilota!"

"No way!" exclaims Sam.

"Way!" responds Clover. "I also get to bring two friends to the camera shoot, and they get to meet Danny as well! So, what do you girls say?"

"I'm there!" says Alex.

"I'm in, too!" says Sam.

"Great!" says Clover as she turns back into the Mall.

"Clover? Where are you going?" asks Sam.

"Sammy! You don't THINK we're going to meet a star like Danny Ilota wearing clearance clothing, do you? We have to get some totally cool, hot outfits!!"

Alex and Sam look at one another and smile.

"You're right, Clover!" says Alex.

"We want to make a good impression!" says Sam, as all three girls turn back into the Mall to get their 'Meet the Star' outfits.

Clover immediately pulls out her cell phone.

"Who are you calling, Clover?" asks Alex.

"Watch!" says Clover. "Hello, Mandy? Clover." Clover says sweetly.

"What do YOU want, Clover!" says an agitated Mandy.

"I just wanted to tell you to look for me on the next episode of Hot Beverly Hills! I won a guest appearance (Mandy: "MMmmMHHh!")! Maybe I'll smile into the camera for you!" Clover continues in a syrupy sweet manor.

Mandy is boiling! She is about to blow her top!

"Don't bother!! I don't even watch that stupid show anymore!!!"

Mandy hangs up in a huff and throws one of her Olympic Gold Medal Tantrums. After all, she entered the contest too! How could those jerks pick a 'wannabee' instead of true star material like her? She immediately calls the Public Relations Department of Cottonmouth Studios, the company that produces Hot Beverly Hills, and also ran the contest, to voice her extreme displeasure at the results!

Clover is beside herself! "That felt sooooooo good! Now to call Herbert, so I can get my hair done."

"Uh, Clover! You just GOT your hair done this morning!" says Sam.

"Sa-am! Everything has to be just right, if I'm going to get Danny Ilota to fall in love with me!"

Alex and Sam give Clover an 'oh brother' look.
