Jean passes Evan as she leaves the waiting room. Evan is too preoccupied with Jean's outfit, that he doesn't notice Anna's desk. He walks right into it slamming his knee into the corner of the desk, causing him to curse and hop around angrily.
After Jean's proposal, Anna is totally oblivious to Evan's actions. Evan gathers his composure, and wipes the tears from his eyes. Evan looks at a dazed Anna sitting behind her desk.
"I'm.....Uh....." Evan Stammers, "Here for a meeting with James."
Anna snaps out of her trance for a moment. "Uh.....Just go in, he's waiting for you...... You soon to be unemployed bastard." Anna says beneath her breath as Evan limps by her desk into James' office.
Evan limps into James' office. James looks up from his desk. After a long day that today was shaping up to be, this was a meeting that he looked forward to. He noticed that he was limping again. For someone who played an avid skateboarder, and basketball player, the boy was a complete klutz.
Evan limps across the room, and sits in the chair opposite of James. Evan sits quietly as James rifles through his desk. James pulls out a piece of paper, and begins reading intently. Several minutes pass until Evan finally speaks up.
"Uh, James?" To which James holds up a finger indicating for Evan to hush, all the while, never looking away from the paper that he is reading.
Evan shifts his weight, uncomfortable by the silence in the room. Evan begins to fiddle with his hands until he practically jumps out of his seat when James breaks the silence of the room.
"Yes Evan, thank you for coming today." James says cheerfully.
"Y-Yes, I assume that this has to do with next season."
"Yes, and No. Evan..... you're fired." James says nonchalantly.
Anna sits sulking at her desk out in the waiting room. She keeps re-living that night with Jean over and over again in her mind. She can't believe that she let things get so out of hand. Granted, Jean was hot. Hell, she was more than hot! And the things that Jean did sent shivers down the tendrils of her spine. Anna couldn't deny, that she wasn't attracted to Jean, but it was more of an animal attraction. Although she couldn't remember most of what happened that night, it was the best sex that she had had in her life.
Anna was intently daydreaming, oblivious to the world around her, when she is shaken back to reality by the ringing phone. She reaches over, to answers the phone
"Hello, Programming Director's Offi......" Anna is cut off as the person on the phone speaks "W-What, why are you calling me here?????" The person on the other end of the phone speaks again. "N-No I can't talk right now, and you shouldn't call me here anymore!" Person speaks again. "What do you mean!?!?! James could find out, and then I'd get fired!" Person replies on her comment. "Look, NOT NOW, I'll call you when I get off of work." The person on the other end of the line says one last thing causing Anna to blush intensely. "Alright, I'll call you later.....Bye."
"What am I doing?????" Anna assumes what has become, much to her dismay, her trademark position at her desk with her face buried in her hands. "And what about Kitty?!?!?! Don't be stupid!" She says to herself out loud. "There is nothing between you and Kitty, it's just some stupid School girl crush! "
Meanwhile in the office, Evan is having problems of his own.
"W-W-WHAT!!!!!"
"It is just not cost effective to keep you on anymore." James explains calmly.
To James's surprise, Evan begins to cry. "B-But why?!?!?!"
"Evan, your character just wasn't working out." James tries to exlain, "We thought that your character would appeal to the skateboarder, and inner city demographic, but what we failed to take into account is that skateboarders, or inner city youths don't watch a lot of T.V."
"B-But I thought that that was why the writers decided to revamp my powers."
"No, that was just an excuse to write you out of the show for the time being. We tried bringing you back for a few episodes, but the fans still didn't like you, even with your new powers."
Evan begins to weep uncontrollably. "Well, I try and try to make you happy, but it's never enough for you is it?"
"Evan be a man! You can't tell me that you didn't see this coming."
"I'm only human ya-know. I did the best I could! A-And I-I thought that after last season, you were going to write me back into the storyline with the X-Men?"
"Yeah, well your best obviously wasn't good enough, and as I said before, the fans just don't like you. Toad is more popular than you, and he eats flies."
"Well, maybe if you wrote me a better part."
"We wrote you five episodes centered on you, and one where you were the main supporting player. You just didn't have the appeal that the others have. Everyone on the show is now hugely popular. Also, Evan, you are a liability on the set."
"What are you talking about?????"
"Evan, you're a complete klutz! You couldn't do the simplest stunts required of you."
"What are you talking about. Everyone on the show has a stunt double."
"Yes, but you have three. One for the Skateboarding, one for the basketball scenes, and one for fight scenes. At least the others are capable of doing some of the simple stunts that their characters would have to do. We have to have a medic on the set incase you walk into something."
Evan hunches over in his seat and cries into his hands. James gets up from his seat, and walks over to Evan. He picks him up, and begins slapping him across the face several times. "Get a hold of yourself ya fruitloop!"
Evan stops his whimpering momentarily. "You hit me!"
"Well look at yourself!" James picks up an envelope on his desk. "Here is your two weeks severance pay, and two weeks vacation. Thank you for your time, now please leave, I have a meeting with Logan in a few minutes."
"W-What am I supposed to do now?" James puts his arm around Evan's shoulder, and walks the overly sensitive B-level actor to the door.
"Well, there's a temporary opening on the Teen Titans cast for the next nine months, but I don't think that you'd be able to play a brooding 14 year old girl with telekinetic powers." That said, James unceremoniously pushes Evan out of his office, and closes his door. James turns towards his desk with a giant grin on his face. Feeling very satisfied with himself, he walks back to his desk. "That felt great!" James chuckles to himself. "One down, two to go!"
Anna is sitting at her desk with her face buried in her hands. She is too preoccupied with her own thoughts to notice a whimpering Evan abruptly thrusted out of James' office.
"Fired again.....Oh man, mom is going to kill me!" Evan runs out of the office crying uncontrollably.
Moments later, James steps out of his office.
"Anna, I'm still a bit hungry, so I'm going to grab a snack at the cafeteria. You want anything?"
Anna is still sitting at her desk speechless.
"Anna?????"
Anna snaps out of her trance. "Huh?"
"Are you alright? You've been acting weird since before Jean's meeting."
"Y-Yeah, I'm f-fine. I'll be okay."
"Did she say something to upset you? Just tell me, and I'll take care of it."
Anna thinks to herself for a moment. "Unless you can erase the video that she, Jean and the Boy Wonder made after a night of too much tequila, then I doubt it!" She turns to James and speaks shyly. "No, I just have a headache."
"Well, I have three more meetings today, and that's it. You can go home if you want."
"Yeah, I think I'll do that." Anna gets up from her desk, and gathers her things. "I'll see you tomorrow morning."
"Sure thing, I hope you feel better."
Anna gathers the last of her things and walks out of the waiting room. She riffles through her bag as she closes the door behind her. She pulls out her cell phone, and scrolls through her phonebook. She finds the number she's looking for, and hits send. She waits impatiently as she hears the phone ringing on the other line. Anna jumps when she hears someone answer the phone.
"Hi, it's me." Anna listens to the person speakingon the other end of the phone. "Yeah, it was a long day." Other person talks. "Where are you now?" The person on the phone answers her question. "Yeah, C-Can I come over?" The person on the other end of the line replies to her request. "Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes......Kay, see you in a few.....Bye."
Anna exits the building, and is walking to her car. She is fiddling through her purse looking for her keys when her phone rings. Anna pulls her phone out of her bag, and looks at the caller I.D. The number looks familiar, but she doesn't recognize it. She answers the call, and almost drops the phone when she finds out who it is.
"Hi Anna." Kitty says Cheerfully.
"Oh, H-Hello....." Anna stammers.
"I'm sorry to call you out of the blue like this, but I was wondering if you were busy tonight?"
"N-No, I'm not busy tonight....."
"Great.....Errrr.....Not great that you're not busy.....I mean, that you're unavailable.....Uh.....So do you want to get together and hang out or something?"
If Anna didn't know any better, she would swear that Kitty was nervous, even flustered.
"Uh S-Sure.....Doh, I forgot, that I have to meet someone right now, can we meet afterwards?"
"Yeah sure, I have some stuff that I need to get done too." Kitty remarks, "Give me a call when you are done."
"Okay.....Um Kitty?"
"Yes?"
"I don't mean to sound rude, but.....How did you get my number?"
"Oh, uh.....I called the secretary pool, and got it from there, I hope that you don't mind?"
"No No, I don't mind, I was just curious. I'll see you in a few."
"Sure thing, it's a date!" Kitty hangs up the phone.
"A Date?!?!?!? Stop dreaming, she did not ask you out on a date, it's just a figure of speech!" Anna exclaims to herself as she gets into her car, and starts the engine.
