8 Hour Love Story..

This is an Alternate Universe fic…I'm trying to do something a bit different…I don't own RENT or it's characters I do own any original characters you may see (like Mackenzie…Mimi's roommate)

Lyrics to the title song '8 Hour Love Story' Belong to Jacob Young


Mimi stood waiting with Mackenzie for her turn to audition.

"That guy is totally checking you out Kenzie, said Mimi.

Mackenzie noticed Mark looking her way and shrugged.

"If he was and he approached me I'd tell him the truth," said Mackenzie.

"Your single Kenzie," Mimi said, "you need to loosen up and have fun"

"I just went through a break up Mimi," Mackenzie told her friend, "and I'm loose I cut class didn't I."

"I know you cut class Kenzie," Mimi said, "as for your breakup didn't you both agree to it."

"True because long distance relationships are doomed to fail," Mackenzie said, "anyway Mimi don't look but Roger is so checking you out."

"Is not," said Mimi turning toward where the rock star stood and locked eyes with him.


"Number twenty five," Mark yelled as Mimi stepped up.

"I'm Roger," Roger said putting out his hand.

"I know" said Mimi, "I'm Mimi and this is my friend Mackenzie."

Mark looked at the blonde and all thoughts of Maureen vanished for a brief moment.

"Hi," said Mackenzie.

"I'm Mark I'll be directing the video," Mark said, "and if I may ask why aren't you auditioning."

"I'm not talented," Mackenzie said.

"I'm just not the acting and dancing type," Mackenzie said, "I'm more into starting my own business."

"What kind," asked Mark.

"No clue yet," answered Mackenzie smiling as Roger walked over to Mark.

"Sorry to interrupt," Roger said, "I need to talk to my director."


"What's up," Mark asked.

"I found a replacement for Maureen," Roger said.

"Who is it," Mark asked, "Mimi."

"Yes," said Roger in fact I was wondering if you had plans tonight."

"I only moved here a week ago," Mark said, "I only really know you and Maureen and I don't even know that much about her."

"Let the others know we have found who we want," Roger told his friend, "and I'll ask the girls to come to dinner with us."

Mark nodded and headed outside to make the announcement meanwhile Roger walked over to Mimi and Mackenzie.


"Mimi," Roger said, "You got the job."

Mimi jumped up and down screaming.

"Dose she always do that," Roger asked.

"Only when she gets really excited," Mackenzie told him smiling.

"Anyway why don't we go out and celebrate," Roger said.

"And by we you mean you and me right," Mimi said.

"Actually I mean the two of us, Mark and Mackenzie," said Roger, "Kind of like a double date."

Mimi nodded and pouted at her friend.

"Fine," said Mackenzie, "I'm in."


Mark headed out after making the announcement when his cell rang.

"How'd the auditions go," Maureen asked on the other line.

Hearing Maureen's voice his thoughts drifted back to the starlet.

"Um they went good actually," Mark said as he described Mimi and her friend Mackenzie.

"I can't wait to meet them," Maureen said, "but till then keep an eye out for me."

"I will," Mark told her as they hung up.

"Come on buddy," Roger said walking outside, "we have a date to get to."

"D-date," Mark said.
