(Flashback)

December 24th 1989

12:45 E.S.T

Angel banged on her drums as a street performer. She plastered a smile on her face. She just remembered that she had earned 1,000 dollars after killing that stupid dog. She laughed as she remembered the look on that girl's face once she found her dog dead. Poor girl, but it was all worth it in the end. She watched as some people gave her money, she didn't exactly need it, but it helped to pay for food and everything. Now that story about the dog was one that she had to tell Mimi when she got home.

"Merry Christmas!" She shouted quickly and went back to playing. There were a couple of muffled coughs but Angel ignored them. She didn't need any trouble today, she just wanted money to help pay for the rent. She didn't want April and Mimi doing everything around here.

She went back to playing but now the coughs were getting louder. She stood up and took her drum with her. She walked around and looked down an alley, she found a man lying against a brick building bleeding.

"Oh my gosh! Honey, are you okay?"

"I'm afraid so." Angel sat down near him and took out a towel. Raising it towards his face, he pushed it away.

"It's okay." Collins said and wiped at his nose.

Angel looked down and put away the towel. "I'm Angel."

"Angel." He repeated and Angel's heart fluttered slightly. He said it so perfectly. "Tom Collins, friends call me Collins." They were silent for a moment. Angel stood up and stretched out her hand.

"Come on, let's get you cleaned up. But I have rehab in a couple of ours."

"Rehab?" Collins questioned and took Angel's hand.

"Yeah for people who are trying to get off of drugs."

Collins nodded. "Me too."

(Present Day)

December 25th 1989

9:14 E.S.T

Mimi was frozen as she lay on the 'pull out bed' couch. Angel slept next to her because Tom Collins was in their bed. She sighed and slept on her side. She shook Angel lightly and waited for her eyes to open.

"What is it?" Angel mumbled and propped herself up by sticking her elbows on the bed. She rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"Time to get up, we have to get ready for rehab."

"Ugh… I'm too tired… This bed is horrible."

"I told you!" Mimi laughed and threw back the covers. She stood up and stretched. "Merry Christmas to you too." She added and threw back her long curls.

"Rehab…" Angel repeated and sighed. "Okay, I'm getting up." She told herself and threw back the covers also while getting up and wandering into the room she shared with Mimi which was right now occupied by Tom Collins. A couple of minutes later Angel came out in a Santa Claus jacket that was a skirt, her black and white tights, and her high platform boots. She had her wig on and her make-up was perfect.

"Ang! You really need to show me how to do that."

"I will when we have time… Collins and I are going to go to the upstairs loft for a little while." Angel said and got out her bucket before filling it with different kinds of foods.

"Guess I'll have to go shopping again… Huh Ang." Mimi joked and pulled back her hair into a ponytail.

"Would you mind getting me some more nail polish?"

Mimi giggled and nodded. "Color?" She questioned.

"Pink… Or red, or black, or blue! You know any color would be nice." Angel smiled and put the bucket down on the floor as an older man walked out of the bedroom.

"You know what I just remembered."

"What did you remember?" Mimi questioned and looked over to the man.

"You weren't at rehab." Mimi laughed nervously.

"I was out…"

"Whatever, we'll talk about it later." Angel said and handed the bucket to the man.

"Mimi, this is Collins, Collins this is my best friend Mimi."

"How do you do?" Mimi questioned and went over to shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you Mimi." He shook her hand and waited for Angel to lead the way out.

"I would have you meet April, but I don't know where she is. Meems, can you find her?"

"It's not that hard, have fun you two!" Mimi winked at Angel and disappeared into April's room.

"I know she's a crazy wreck, but she's really fun."

"I can tell." Collins laughed as they walked out of the loft and walked up the stairs. "You're going to love Mark and Roger." Angel remembered she had forgotten to tell Mimi about how she had killed that woman's dog for 1,000 dollars. She made a mental note to remember to tell her best friend. They walked up to the door and Collins signaled for Angel to wait outside.

"I just want to introduce you first."

"Ok, I'll wait out here." Angel smiled as Collins took the bucket and opened the door. Angel leaned against the door and fingered the 1,000 dollars. She listened to what they were saying.

"Gentlemen, our benefactor on this Christmas Day, whose charity is only matched by talent, I must say a new member of the Alphabet City avant-garde… Angel Dumott-Schunard!" The loft door opened and angel stood with her arms behind her back and the money in her hands. She twirled around as she entered and she got the first glimpse of Roger Davis the one that Mimi and April were both pining over.

"Today for you… Tomorrow for me!" Angel started to dance her way over to Roger. She stuck out her hand and gave Roger half of the money and Mark the other half. Their eyes widened and Angel laughed.

"Today for you… Tomorrow for me!"

"And you should hear her beat!" Angel took out her drumsticks and pretended to play. She was glad that she was making them happy. What she had heard from April is that Roger hadn't been out of the apartment for a long time.

"You earn this on the street?"

"It was my lucky day today on Avenue A. When a lady in a limousine drove my way, she said, "Darling - be a dear - haven't slept in a year?'" Angel was sitting near Roger and fanned her face as Roger smiled.

"'I need your help to make my neighbor's yappy dog disappear. This Akita-Evita just won't shut up I believe if you play non-stop that pup, will breathe its very last high-strung breath. I'm certain that cur will bark itself to death' Today for you - tomorrow for me, today for you - tomorrow for me!"

She grabbed Mark's bike and went around the room slowly on it. "We agreed on a fee - A thousand dollar guarantee, tax-free - and a bonus if I trim her tree…" Angel walked over to Roger and pretended to cut his hair with her drumsticks.

"Now who could foretell that it would go so well…? But sure as I am here that dog is now in doggy hell!" She stood on the table between one of the chairs and the couch. She started to dance.

"After an hour - Evita -- in all her glory, on the window ledge of that 23rd story... Like Thelma and Louise did when they got the blues, swan dove into the courtyard of the Gracie Mews! Today for you -- tomorrow for me! Today for you -- tomorrow for me!" She did a somersault and then stood up and tapped Collins lightly on the shoulder. He ran over to the counter and took everything off.

Angel did one of her drum solos first on the counter then jumped up onto the counter and started to drum on the pipes. After she was done with that she jumped off on of the counter and started to sing again.

"Then back to the street where I met my sweet, where he was moaning and groaning on the cold concrete." Angel now sat next to Collins and when she sang that, Collins looked over to Roger and Mark and shook his head pretending that she was lying. Roger and Mark just laughed.

"The nurse took him home for some mercurochrome," Angel pretended to get some medicine and put it on Collins. "And I dressed his wounds and got him back on his feet!" She stood up and started to run as she ran up the wall and did a flip off the wall. All of them smiled and laughed happily.

"Sing it! Today for you, tomorrow for me… Today for you, tomorrow for me!" She danced in front of Collins as he pushed her and laughed. She sat down on the table and crossed her legs

"I said: Today for you… Tomorrow for me! Today for you -tomorrow..." Collins spun her around the table and she still was singing. "Whoa, ohhhhhh for me!" She stopped in front of Mark and threw her arms up. They all clapped and she let her arms fall down to the side as the phone rang. Mark ran over and picked up the phone before anybody could hear something that he probably didn't want them to hear.

"Yeah okay, I'll be there."

There was a muffled reply before Mark hung up and stood there with his hands crossed over his chest. "Can you believe her? She just dumps me and then-"

"Wait Maureen dumped you?"

"Yes, for a lawyer named Joanne." There was no noise and Angel sat there quietly smiling like always. Roger stared at his friend and smiled.

"You know Mark, you could have said no."

"I know but…"

"Aw that's cute, you still love her." Collins said and sat down on the arm rest. Mark just rolled his eyes at Collins as he wrapped his scarf around his neck.

"Oh honey, we have to get going!" Angel reminded him and stood up.

"Oh that's right."

"Where are you going?"

"Rehab." Collins answered. "You should come." Angel nodded in encouragement.

"On Christmas?"

"Some people don't have any other place to go." Angel said and waited for Roger's answer. Roger shook his head.

"Knock yourselves out."

"Well Mark, feel free to come. It's not just for people trying to get off of drugs." Angel said and looked over to Mark. For some reason she knew about Roger having a drug problem but that he was in withdrawal. She thought that April might have told her.

"Yeah… I'll come; just first I have to go fix the sound equipment." Mark answered.

"See I told you…" Collins said and intimating a whip. Mark shook it off and walked out of the loft. "Well its Christmas, don't stay inside all day." Collins said to Roger and walked towards the loft door, Angel stayed for a second. She just wanted to see what this guy was like and why her two friends liked him so much. She smiled at Roger and he smiled back at her.

"Well see ya." Angel finallysaid and gave Roger a little wave before bouncing out of the loft.
