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


At the girls' apartment…

"Mimi," Mackenzie said throwing cloths left and right out of her closet, "Why did I agree to this."

"Can't find an outfit that you like huh," Mimi said, "I'll find something you just go check your e-mail."

Mackenzie nodded and headed over to her computer. She had two new messages.

"Mimi," Mackenzie yelled, "I'm screwed."

"No your not," Mimi said holding a black dress on a hanger, "I found you something."

"Not about tonight," Mackenzie said, "I just got an e-mail from one of the members in my study group saying that what they covered in class today would be a major part of our final exam."

"You're smart," Mimi said, "You'll make up the work and pass with flying colors, now GET DRESSED."

"I have one more message," Mackenzie said.

"I'll read it," Mimi said walking into the room in the black dress she was holding a second ago,

"I left a dress for you on your bed."

Mackenzie got up and headed to her room as Mimi read the e-mail. It was from Benny, Mackenzie's ex who split up with her just before he headed off to Harvard. Mimi figured this could only be bad. She was right.

Mackenzie entered the room in the dress that Mimi picked out for her and smiled at her friend.

"I'm so sorry Kenzie," Mimi said.

"Why," Mackenzie said "what did Benny write."

"The short version," Mimi said, "or the long one."

"Short is fine," Mackenzie said.

"He's glad he split up with you over the distance," Mimi said, "and he has met someone else."

"He's moved on from me already," Mackenzie said, "I mean it hasn't even been a semester and…"

"I'm sorry," Mimi said, "but you know Roger's friend was checking you out."


At Roger's…

"Your not gong to blow us off for your other Hollywood friends," Mark asked.

"This is to celebrate Mimi joining our team," Roger said, "and to maybe find you a girlfriend."

Mark blushed a little thinking that Roger's intentions were good, however he was longing for something he couldn't have, his best friends girlfriend.

"So Mimi why did you choose her over the hundreds of girls their," Mark asked.

"She just had this look," Roger said, "a look of innocence mixed with an edge."

"I see," Mark said, "so hear from Maureen at all."

"Not since she left," Roger said, "so ready."

"As ready as I'll ever be," Mark said.
