His office was dark and quiet. A single desk lamp lit the room. Dawson sat at the desk, visibly exhausted. He opened a drawer and grabbed the script. He set it on the desk unopened. He ran his fingers slowly over the lettering on the cover.

TOMORROW'S GOODBYE

A Titan Production

He opened the script and slowly thumbed through the pages. The moment was interrupted by a shadow standing in the doorway. Dawson lifted his head to see Todd standing there.

"Leery, we've done for 2 hours. What on bloody earth are you still here for?" He looked at his desk at quickly grinned. He grabbed a chair and sat down. Dawson continued to thumb through the pages.

"Dawson, this one is going to rock our little world. This has been a wild ride, but in the end it paid off. This will be the one that wins the awards.." Todd paused for a moment, "for both of us." Dawson's head glanced up quickly with a puzzled look at Todd.

"Leery this isn't the end of the ride, it's just the beginning. Your name won't be one those moronic idiots at the end of the credits. You've made it. Half the damn movie you made improvements that I would have never realized were possibilities."

Dawson finally let a smile creep across his face.

"Now get the hell out of here before I make you stay here for the next six weeks, and god knows I would really get an earful from your mum. There is a woman who scares me." Todd couldn't help but laugh.

Dawson chuckled he stood up and threw the script in his bag. He reached out to shake Todd's hand. Todd grinned and pulled Dawson in for a hug.

"Thanks Todd, for everything. I'll give you a call in a few days."

"Leery get out of here before I change my mind, see you soon."

Dawson stepped out of the office and walked down the deserted hallway. He reached the door and made his way to his car. Stopping for a moment he turned around and stared at the now abandoned studio. He smiled and climbed into his car.

"Here is her backpack, oh and here are the numbers you will be able to reach me at." Gale handed Joey a small backpack and a piece of paper. Joey looked down and smiled at the four year old attached to her side.

"Oh and here are the keys to the Explorer. Looks like that's my cab, come here honey. Now Lily you promise to be good for Joey?" Gale asked as she held her arms open awaiting a hug. Lily happily nodded and ran to hug her mother. Gale kissed Lily and handed her back to Joey.

"Thanks Joey, Lily honey I will call you in the morning." Lily reached over and kissed her mother one more time and then wrapped her arms around Joey.

"Mommy, Joey's taking me to the zoo tomorrow." Lily said with a smile.

"I know, now you two have fun. Love you honey."

"Love you too mommy."

"Thanks you Joey, I'll give you two a call tomorrow."

"No problem Gale, it's always more fun here when Lily visits. Good luck."

"Thanks I'll need it, I hope this pans out." Gale said as she walked away. Joey and Lily stood on the porch and watched as the cab pulled away.

Joey walked Lily back into the house and sat her down on the couch.

"First things first, I have a surprise for you." Joey said as she lifted up a gift bag.

"Presents, hurray, and it's not even my birthday." Lily said as she stood up bouncing on the couch.

"Nope, that's next week, but sit down so you can see what your surprise is." Joey said as she handed Lily the bag. Lily quickly sat down. She quickly started pulling the contents of the bag out.

"Eww, these are pretty." Lily said as she pulled out a light pink 2-piece pajama set. There cotton pants and a spaghetti strap top with a crown on the front. Under the crown there was writing.

"That's says Cinderella doesn't it." Lilly said as she popped back up on the couch bouncing again.

"Yes, but there is more, sit down and see what else is in the bag." Joey smiled. She enjoyed it when Lily was so excited. Lily sat back down and reached into the bag. She struggled to remove the tissue paper that surrounded the gift. As she struggled with the last piece of tissue paper her eyes widened and an immense smile came across her face.

"Now you are an official princess." Joey said as she took the small tiara out of Lily's hands and gingerly set it atop her head. Lily smiled and ran to the bathroom to see her refection in the mirror. Joey just sat on the couch and awaited her return. When Lily came back she lunged at Joey and held her in a tight embrace.

"Thank you Joey, I am a princess now."

"Yes you are, and quite a beautiful princess if I may say so myself." Joey smiled and was pleased with Lily's response. "Now it's time for your first royal event, the popping of the princesses popcorn." She bowed down and motioned her arms towards the kitchen. Lily giggled and skipped into the kitchen.

So what do you think??? More???
