The next morning Maureen was awakened by the sunrays that had cased over her body. She stretched out and noticed that Mark was already gone to go work on his documentary he has been trying to write a film, but never seems to have good luck even with his scarf that he calls good luck it just doesn't seem to come around. "I wonder where he went off to.." Maureen thought in her head. As she crawled out of bed she noticed a note on the pillow and a pink rose from Mark she began to read the note.

"Dear Maureen, good luck at auditions today I know you will make it because your all about drama, I love you and tonight dinner is on me because we are going to go to the Life Café, you, me, Benny, Collins, and Roger. Love Marky."

Maureen smiled as she finished reading the note from Mark and started getting ready for her auditions the sun was shining brightly through the curtains in her and Mark's room. And that is as bright as her smile was. She was excited because there was going to be a new future in her life. She could see her name on the billboard as the most outspoken actress on Broadway. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy.. When skies are gray you never know dear how much I love you please don't take my sunshine away.."

Maureen belted a few musical notes to warm up her voice for auditions. She walked out of the bathroom she was wearing her hair half way up half way down more down so that the brunette naturally curly hair could cascade down her shoulders, very little make up, a turquoise halter top that had silver rhinestones around the collar of the neck, a turquoise sash that she had made as a belt, a pair of black leather pants, and her favorite pair of running shoes they were Addidas. She brushed her teeth, and took the rose into the kitchen to put in a glass with water so it wouldn't die.

As she made her way to the kitchen she noticed that Benny was gone to work at the car service station as a mechanic, Collins was gone off to his office at NYU, and Roger was singing.. Roger walked out of his room and he was dressed nicely he had his hair spiked up, he was wearing a wife beater white tee shirt that had the logo of his future band on it that he created himself, he was wearing blue faded jeans and he had his blue denim jacket on. He was singing "I can't stop this feeling, deep inside of me.." it was an 80's song but he didn't continue the rest of the song because he didn't want to jinx his luck in meeting April and possibly starting a relationship with her. "Hey Maureen." he said with a bright smile on his face. "Good morning baby." Maureen said as she hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Somebody looks to be in a great mood today.." She playfully punched him in the stomach. "Yes, I am your right, today I am going to go meet April."

He continued to smile as he straightens out his jacket. "Do I look ok? I mean is this. Do I look good enough in this outfit? I'm about to meet a girl who could possibly be my future?" Roger started to panic.. "Jeez Roger, I could have sworn you weren't gay and caring about what you wear or how nicely dressed you look. That is only Collins who does that but then again his style is a way he enjoys life!! Relax Roger, you look nice, if I wasn't with Mark then I would be with you!" She laughed again. "Thanks Maureen I am flattered.." Roger rolled his eyes as he went into the kitchen to pour himself some coffee and put up the dishes that were out last night to dry.

"Don't you have an audition soon Maureen?" He tried to change the subject that Roger could finally have a girl friend and he wanted to know about Maureen's schedule for the day.. She looked at the broken clock on the wall that still managed to work.. "Oh Shit!" She exclaimed as she quickly tried to remember the role she wanted, her purpose, and why she wanted to make money and be on Broadway. It was her dream to be an actress no matter which way she did it she was going to. "Your right Roger, I am so nervous what do I do?" Roger looked at her.. "Coffee?" He smiled and handed her a cup..

"Yes thanks, I think I will have a couple of cups of coffee and then head down to the Nederland Theatre for auditions, don't forget tonight Mark is taking us all to the Life Café and maybe you can bring April along with you.. That is if you feel comfortable in doing so." she slowly sipped her coffee and turned off the heater for the day so that they could conserve all of the heat for night times only. "So when you meet April approach her calmly and carefully, you tend to scare off girls all the time, you want to start a relationship with her or at least get to know her first besides your decide to get into her pants.." Maureen laughed quietly.

"Oh shut the hell up Maureen, that was only one girl and she wasn't even the right one for me, besides I am just going to start my conversation out small and see what she likes to do for fun, how old she is, why she chose here out of all the places in the world and casual small talk I promised myself this morning when I took a shower I wasn't going to rush anything!" Roger started to get angry.

"Oh well! Goodbye…"

"Break a leg"

"You too.."

"If I do then she can take care of me." he snickered.
