Erin held the pouch to Arie, she ran up to take it and ran off. Erin watched her go and looked back at the scouts, "I'm going to be honest with you." Tuxedo Mask huffed and Erin continued, "I've been hired by an American studio to search you out. We've seen some of your battles and want to make a movie about your incredible life."
Tuxedo Mask turned and walked away. Serena watched him go while Rei rushed up to Erin, "What kind of movie is it? Will it have our names on it? What will my character be like?"
"I would like to follow each of you for a day," Erin said to the group, "So that the studio can get your characters perfect. It will be animated documentary, so you're character will be just like you."
"I've always wanted to be a film star," Rei chirped, "I have a natural talent. Follow me for a day first."
Erin smiled, "I'll be at your house tomorrow morning. I want to see what you do throughout the day so you're character is more believable. I'll see you then." He waved good bye and walked away. Rei watched him go and then turned to Lita, "Isn't this wonderful? We're going to be international film stars."
"I guess so," Lita conceded, "but Darien doesn't think so. I want to talk to him and see what's wrong."
"He's just a spoil-sport," Serena chimed in, "Now what about that movie, Lita? And I want lots of snacks . . . " The four of them went to theatre.
Erin pushed the door open just so he could squeeze in and closed it behind him. As he turned the light on, the gloom of his apartment fell to electric light. Something beeped in the room and Erin went into the main area. The kitchen was unused and the walls shone clean white. Only a laptop on the desk marked the room as his, the table and chairs were standard in the room.
He opened the laptop, turned it on, and turned away, "Arie, are you here?"
"I'm here," Arie called from another room, "and it's just a rose, what you'd get at any flow shope."
"Except he uses it as a weapon," Erin corrected, "It just doesn't make any sense. Keep testing it, there must be something." He picked up an ear piece by the laptop and hung it around his ear. His fingers danced on the keyboard and a face appeared in the computer. "It's me and everything went well. We're doing an animated documentary; can you have a team here tomorrow?" He paused a moment, "Then be at SS3's house in the morning, find the address." A series of beeps echoed through the room and Erin nodded, "I have company so be there in the morning." The box closed, the laptop shut off, and Erin took off the ear piece.
Darien pushed in the door and Erin stood and gestured him in. Darien came in and claimed the other chair, "What are you doing here?"
Erin sat also, "I already told you, animated documentary for an American studio."
"Which studio?"
"White rabbit," Erin answered, "Has it really been eight years since we've seen each other?"
"Why did you go into film?" Darien continued "When you left, you hated movies."
"I still do but that's were the money is in America," Erin answered, "What have you been doing?"
Darien shook his head and stood, "I don't know what you're doing here but leave the scouts out of it."
"I can't leave them out of the documentary about them, can I?" Erin asked with a grin. Darien just shook his head, watched Arie comes into the room, and left.
