Out Tonight

(Present Day)

December 25th 1989

9:14am E.S.T

"Appppriiiillllll!" Mimi sang as she searched the apartment alone. Angel and Collins were off upstairs or walking towards rehab and she was stuck looking for her friend April who must be hung over or something.

"Shut up." A voice from under a million covers said. April moved slightly and wrapped the sheets tighter around her small body. She didn't want to talk to Mimi, she had found out about what she had done to Roger and she just couldn't talk to her.

"Honey! We were all so worried about you." She peeled back the covers from April's face. "Babe, what's wrong?" Noticing that April was glaring at her, Mimi backed away.

"I know what you did Mimi."

"What did I do?"

"You went upstairs and you seduced Roger!"

"Seduced? I asked him if he could light my candle!"

"I know what I heard!"

"And you believe them more then me?"

"Of course! You are always trying to steal the people I love!"

"What are you talking about? I do not!"

"You do too!"

"Name one person besides Roger!"

"Mark!"

"What? Who's Mark?"

April growled at her. "The man you gave a lap dance too last year and he ran away because he was so embarrassed."

"That kid? You loved him?"

April looked at Mimi sheepishly, "Kinda of… Until you took him away!"

"I didn't take him away! I didn't even want him! I was just doing my job!"

"Well it's not your job to go and ask Roger for anything! You know I had history with him!"

"What does it matter April? I'm not in love with him!" Mimi lied and saw that April was crying.

"Let's keep it that way."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Stay away from him Mimi. You have nothing to do with him; you shouldn't even be talking to him. Stay away or else."

"Or else what April?"

"Or else you're kicked out of this loft, out of my life forever and you'll never speak to me or Angel again."

"You can't speak for Angel!"

"If she wants to live here, she will do as I say."

"That's – That's not fair April! You know that Angel is my best friend!"

"Not anymore if you go and talk to Roger again." Mimi turned around and let her hands clench into fists. She ran to the door and opened it quickly then walked out. Who was April telling her what to do?

Mimi was nineteen years old and she could decide for herself. She would start looking for a place to stay for awhile, but then how could she lose Angel? Angel was her best friend and they depended on each other because they knew that April might die any year now. Her HIV positive had just blown up into AIDS and they had no idea what to do anymore. Mimi held her jacket around her and walked towards the rehab center. Forgetting that she had been told to go to the store by Angel, she approached the rehab center. She entered the center and looked around for Angel. She was sitting next to Collins and was saving a seat for her. Mimi walked up and sat down next to Angel not noticing that she had been crying.

"Chica! What's wrong?" Angel questioned and wiped away her tears.

"Um… Uh, nothing, just a lot happened."

"Where's April?"

"She's back at home, she just… She just wasn't feeling very well today."

"You wanna talk about it?" Angel questioned and ran her finger gently around Mimi's cheeks trying to dry them off.

"Uh, I don't know… It's a long story, maybe later?"

"Anything you want," Angel said and enlaced her fingers with her best friend letting Mimi's head fall against her shoulder and cry her heart out just as the man who ran the rehab center came out.

December 25th 1989

7:00pm E.S.T

Mimi sat in front of the mirror in the Cat Scratch Club. She sighed and applied her make-up. Running her fingers through her dark curly hair with her left hand, she used her right hand to make her make-up perfect. Angel walked over to Mimi; she was usually let backstage because she helped the girls with the make-up.

"Ah chica, I see you have done your make-up perfectly."

"Shut up, I know you're mocking me." Mimi said playfully and stood up. She clipped part of her hair back to get it out of her face.

"Mocking you? I have no idea what you're talking about." Angel winked and brushed some of Mimi's hair out of her face and handed it to Mimi to clip back. "Are you ready?"

"Have I ever been ready?"

"You got the job here."

Mimi cringed. "It was the only job, I've been working here for four years, I don't think I could just quit."

"They wouldn't let you?"

"Probably not… Anyways are you going to stay here and watch me?"

"Yeah, I brought along Collins. We might leave early though because we're meeting April at the Life Café for an emergency meeting."

"What's that suppose to mean and why wasn't I invited?"

"Because you're working silly!"

"Okay, but you have to tell me everything about it."

"Of course, of course, now go! You're almost up."

"Alright." Mimi said and hugged her best friend as she wrapped her leopard robe around her small body. Her high-heeled boots clicked on the tile floor loudly. Jessica another dancer at the club was already walking out to the stage.

"Ready Meems?" Jessica questioned and Mimi nodded.

"Ready." She simply said and walked up the steps. She stood in the dark by the pole as the music started. Screams were sounded as the spot-light was shone on Mimi. She smiled and searched the crowd for Angel. She found her and locked eyes with her best friend. She grabbed the pole and swung slightly as the words came out of her mouth.

"What's the time? Well it's gotta be close to midnight. My body's talking to me! It say, 'Time for danger.'" Mimi dropped her robe on the floor and grabbed the next pole.

"It says 'I wanna commit a crime, wanna be the cause of a fight. Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt, with a stranger.' I've had a knack from way back at breaking the rules once I learn the games! Get-up life's too quick, I know some place sick. Where this chick'll dance it the flames!" She danced around the stage keeping the eye contact with her best friend.

"We don't need any money. I always get in for free. You can get in too, if you get in with me." She grabbed some money from a mans hand and crunched it up in her hand.

"Let's go out tonight! I have to go out tonight." Mimi stood in front of one man and smiled then backed up and did a dance routine with two other girls. "You wanna play? Let's run away! We won't be back, before its New Years Day! Take me out tonight." She was now in front of that man again. "Meow." She grabbed his hat and took the drink and started walking back to the stage. This would be a long night.

(Present Day)

December 25th 1989

12:00am E.S.T

Mimi emerged from club in her regular clothing, a dress that was black and her leopard coat. A scarf was tightly around her neck and a hat placed on her head. She spun around the empty streets. She had earned a lot of money from that night. She felt successful but also sadden because she knew this wasn't where her heart was. She really wanted to be on board way, but she hadn't told anyone. Not even Angel. She sighed and sang the rest of her song.

"When I get a wink from the doorman, you know how lucky you'll be? That you're on line with the feline of Avenue B!" She raised her hands over her head and spun around forgetting about her dream and letting this moment sink in.

"Let's go out tonight! I have to go out tonight! You wanna prowl? Be my night owl!" She spun her scarf in circles and saw her building up in the distance. "Well take my hand, we're gonna howl! Out tonight!"

She ran to her building, her heels clicking on the pavement as she ran. She ran up the stairs and got her keys out, unlocked the door and pushed it back. She entered the loft and looked around for April or Angel. They were nowhere to be found. They must still be at the Life Café, Mimi decided. She threw her jacket down on the floor with her keys and made her way to the window.

"In the evening I must roam, can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome… Feels to damn much like home, when the Spanish babies cry." She was now out of the window and on the fire escape.

"So let's find a bar! So dark we forget who we are." She locked her boot heel on the fire escape rail and stood up on it. She sang out to the world. "And all the scares from the nevers and maybes die!"

She danced slightly and smiled. She felt like she was the only person in the world that really mattered. "Let's go out tonight! Have to go out tonight." She looked up and saw that there was light in Mark and Roger's apartment. She shrugged, she didn't care what April thought anymore, she was going to like Roger and there was nothing April could do about it.

"You're sweet, wanna hit the street?" She walked up the fire escape stairs. "Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat? Just take me out tonight!" She was now looking into the window of Roger and Mark's apartment and saw Roger looking at her. He was sitting there with his guitar and strumming away. He had stopped now, amused by what she was doing.

"Please take me out tonight." She said in a whisper that he could barely hear, she brushed hair out of her face while she opened the window and walked into his apartment. "Don't forsake me… Out tonight!"

She moved a little closer to him. "I'll let you make me – out tonight!" She climbed up upon the counter that he was sitting on. "Tonight – tonight – tonight…" With each word she moved a little closer along the counter to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his while the loft door opened. They pulled slightly apart and focused on the person – or people standing in the doorway.

"Oh my god."
