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
About a month had passed since the video wrapped up and Mark moved back to the city. Mackenzie was in the student union working on finals listening to the muffled sounds of MTV in the background when she recognized a familiar song.
"That was the MTV premiere of the latest from Roger Davis," the VJ said, "It's called 8 Hour Love Story and we have with us the director of the Video Mark Cohen."
"Hi," Mark said.
Mackenzie stopped what she was doing and turned toward the TV.
"So Mark this was your first big project," the VJ said, "do you think it will be your last."
"I hope not," Mark said, "I had so much fun working on the shoot and not because Roger is one of my best friends."
"Well with your first video already getting major buzz," The VJ said, "any ideas on where your next project will bring you."
"Actually," Mark said, "I'm in the process of relocating to California."
"Any specific reason," the VJ asked.
"There is this girl," Mark said.
Mackenzie smiled at the TV as her phone rang.
"Are you watching MTV," Mimi asked.
"Yes," Mackenzie said.
"I'm so happy," Mimi said, "I mean this is perfect Mark is relocating, you need a new roommate."
"I know I can't believe you and roger are moving in together," Mackenzie said, "I guess the playboy is ready to settle down."
"And never in a million years could I have dreamed he would have settled down with me," Mimi said.
A week later there was a knock on Mackenzie's apartment door.
"Coming," Mackenzie said opening the door and spotted Mark.
"I heard you needed a new roommate," Mark said.
"I don't know," Mackenzie said, "I overheard you came back here for a girl you like."
"I did," Mark said, "you."
"I knew that," Mackenzie said, "I was just waiting for you to say something."
"So this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," Mark said.
"Friendship," Mackenzie asked.
"Probably more," Mark said kissing her, "rephrase that defiantly more."
