Yeah, I couldn't wait, hopefully you guys will like it. Please review Dx
"We're all carried along by the river of dreams."
"Now girls, I am going to call you at around nine to check up on you okay? Start unpacking; I'll be back in a week to check up on you as well…" Dolly Boyd said as she dropped the girls off in front of The Palm Woods, the girls weren't even bothering with listening to Charlie's mom talk; they were too busy admiring the hotel. It was actually really nice, and for Amery and Liz, it was actually their first time ever being in L.A.
"Yeah mom, we know." Charlie said while turning to face her mom, a bright smile on her face. She was of course excited when she saw her friends again after so long, but even happier that they were going to spend much more time together, with practically no adult supervision.
"Don't worry about us. I'll be in charge," Her mother's look of worry doubled after hearing her daughter state that. Dolly knew Charlie was responsible, but she was a bit of a fire cracker whenever anyone wronged her. Seeing the look of distress on the older woman's face, Hailey quickly came to her friends rescue.
"And we'll all be here to calm her down whenever she goes on a rampage." Dolly smiled at the group of girls and gave each one of them a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Please be good girls. And good luck. Call me whenever you get a job!" The girls smiled back waving in return as Mrs. Boyd left the premises of the hotel. The girl's turned back around and grinned at the entrance, watching as a group of guys with two women and a young girl walked towards the lobby, the woman with red hair reaching over to touch a palm tree then hugging what seemed to be her son.
"Alright ladies, time to check in and make our dreams come true." Charlie said walking forward with a couple of bags in hand. She turned to look at her best friends, each girl beaming with delight. Even Mason, Hailey's humongous dog seemed to be happy, but then again he was a dog, all he needed was a little loving and to be around his owner. Hailey had trained him since he was a puppy, and if she didn't make her dream of being a musician come true, she could sure as hell become the next dog whisperer. Mason didn't even wear a leash when he was with her. It scared Charlie at how loyal and well trained that dog was, but it made her feel even safer. That dog was better than any humongous body guard money could hire. The self-proclaimed person in charge opened the door with her head held high, her friends and body guard in tow.
The round grump of the hotel manager rolled his eyes as he saw the excited faces of the new girls walk in. They were probably just going to get their dreams crushed anyways. He sighed and put on a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"What." Bitters stated, he had a name to live up too, and he wasn't going to start being nice now.
"Hi. Umm room for Charlie…I mean Charlotte Boyd." The tallest brunette spoke up. Bitters eyes widened, Boyd. These were the ones the New York musician had threatened him about. The chunky middle aged man showed slight fear in his eyes as he recalled the night before. He had never been scared from across the country. And last night, at around three in the morning, He, Reginald Bitters was scared -for lack of a better word- shitless. He had been threatened to be nice, an odd request. But it was a lot to ask especially for one not so nice hotel manager. Everything for 4R, the apartment in which the girls were going to live in, was absolutely paid for, and they were to get everything they asked for…or else so threatened the lead singer of The Strokes, the lead singer of Incubus, the lead singer of Coldplay, and the whole band of Kings of Leon. Bitters gulped before reaching for the four key cards on the counter, he had been waiting for their arrival. The girls all looked at the fear stricken man as if he had a second head popping out of his neck; his hand shaking as he handed the keys to Charlie.
"H-here you go, Ms. Boyd. Y-your r-room is 4R." Charlie nodded politely and tried to smile.
"Thanks…" She said awkwardly then turned to walk away with her friends, Hailey and Amery began to laugh at the awkwardness of the moment, while Liz just stared on confused.
"That was amazingly awkward." Amery said between giggles, her laughter stopping as she pointed outside the clear doors. "Oh look there's a pool!"
Charlie rolled her eyes at the younger girl while smiling; Amery always was distracted very easily. Charlie herself getting distracted and chuckling to herself as a blonde guy sitting on one of the beach chairs was suddenly slapped by some girl in a gown, and then left dumbfounded staring after her in confusion.
"C'mon girls, we have to start unpacking."
"That's not fair! I wanted that room!" The southern tone from the five foot nine, red head's voice became more pronounced as she argued with her best friend. They were lucky enough to each get a room, now it was just about who got what. Liz's southern voice was drowned out by the accented Britain who was currently standing on a chair since she was far too short to get in Liz's face.
"Well too bloody bad, it's not my fault you decided to go pee when I called the room."
The two brunettes sat down on the sofa, each staring at the blonde and the red head silently making bets as to who would win in a fight. Charlie was sipping on a smoothie, while Hailey was trying to make room for Mason, not wanting to be squished by the nearly two hundred pound beast. They both finally decided on Liz, she was taller, and Amery was a lover not a fighter.
"I didn't nick your damn room!"
"Speak correctly you fricken Brit, You're in America now!"
"I didn't steal your room, would you like if I spoke in a much more appropriate speed?" Amery said, trying to mimic a southern accent slowing down her voice as if Liz was an idiot that just couldn't comprehend, and actually doing a really good job at it. Liz's face burned red as she stared at the petite blonde on the chair. Charlie winced at the insult, even she felt offended by it. Hailey had a slight smirk on her lips, finding the whole situation amusing; she patted Mason's big head then said one word stopping the argument from growing.
"Speak." A loud low throaty bark with a hint of a growl at the end came from the massive dog near her lap, causing Charlie and Liz to jump and Amery to fall off the chair.
Charlie's gaze fell on Hailey and how she began to baby talk to the canine afterwards, rewarding him with a hug and a "good boy Mason!" the dog happily licking at her face. The "in charge" brunette rose from her seat, smoothie in hand.
"Mason's right, we just got here and we're already fighting. Let's just chill, and you guys can fight for the room the old fashion way." Charlie nodded her head, eyes closed, agreeing with herself one hundred percent.
"Ready?" Charlie said as the two fighting girls nodded their head firmly.
"Draw!" Their fists came out slamming onto their open palms three times. It was a dangerous game, but it had to be done.
"Ha! Scissors beats paper!" Amery yelled, jumping on the balls of her feet, dancing to herself. All is fair in love and war, and rock, paper, scissors. The southern belle rolled her eyes but smiled as Amery's clumsy self bumped into the fallen chair and landed on her ass.
"Alright! Now that that's settled, let's start unpacking." Hailey said jumping up from her seat on the couch and towards the countless of boxes piled around them. The other girls sighing in defeat at the work cut out from them.
The warm Los Angeles sun beamed through the already furnished hotel apartment known as 4R, waking a few of the four females from their respective rooms. Liz opened the door to her rock paper scissor loser room, while rubbing the sleep from her blue eyes. They had finished unpacking at around two in the morning, she opened her eyes and smiled, there was no mess, just a great apartment to live in. Liz turned to the clock on the wall, 7:00 am. That seemed about right, she was used to waking up early in her home, and she wasn't going to get out of that habit even if she wanted to. The red head headed towards one of the two bathrooms in the apartment, nearly bumping into Hailey. The short brunette rubbed her eyes, her glasses in one hand. She never left anywhere without her glasses, she couldn't even see twelve inches in front of her. Hailey stretched after she put her glasses in place, smiling as she heard the bones in her back crack and heading towards the vacant bathroom, knowing that neither Amery nor Charlie would be up anytime soon.
"Hey Hails, want me to make breakfast?" The southerner said smiling. She was always a morning person. Hailey nodded and smiled.
"I'm gonna take Mason out for a quick walk after I shower. I don't want him pooping up the apartment, and I'm pretty sure you guys would definitely not like that." The two early birds showered quickly and got ready to start their days. Liz walked over to the fancy kitchen and placed an apron around her neck and waist, covering her black with multi colored paint splats skirt and her white 3/4 sleeved V-neck, she grabbed a hair tie and wrapped her long red locks in a messy bun. She smiled as she walked to the see through fridge, careful not to step on an eating Mason.
Liz frowned as she looked inside the empty fridge…there was nothing but left over pizza from last night and a couple of water bottles.
"Is breakfast ready?" Liz was startled from the no food situation and turned to see the British blonde ready and showered in a yellow polka dot tight shirt with a royal blue skirt and black flats, a sweet smile on her face.
"Uhh it would be but…" Liz was cut off as Hailey reentered fully clothed in a black and white striped racer back tank top with a huge black heart in the middle and her grey skinny jeans a grey and black slouchy beanie thrown on her messy brown hair. She walked over to the couch to put on her black and grey combat like boots.
"You'll be done by the time I come back with Mason right?" Hailey said sticking her foot inside one of her boots. Liz began to open her mouth to explain the dilemma when Charlie walked in also showered. These girls were fast…and clean.
"I'm hungry…" Charlie said scratching her head, her red plaid shirt and cardigan rising as she did so, showing where her leggings began and a bit of her stomach. "What's for breakfast?"
Liz rolled her eyes at her best friends and took off her apron getting confused looks from all of them.
"There's no food. I can't make breakfast without food, morons." Liz said getting aggravated. Charlie looked shocked then confused.
"So why didn't you call for room service…moron." The taller brunette said as if that was easiest solution, Charlie's eyes widened then quickly ran as she saw Liz's hand reach out for what was nearest, which just so happened to be a glass cup and threw it at the plan making girl. She grabbed the hotel's phone and called for room service. Hailey left the room with a couple of plastic bags in hands and her dog in tow, screaming before she closed the door that she wasn't cleaning that.
"Man, Mason took the biggest sh-"
"Hailey! That's disgusting, hurry up your foods going to get cold." Charlie said as she ate some French toast drenched with syrup. Hailey walked in to the apartment and ran for the couch that everyone was sitting on while watching TV. Re-runs of two very hot brothers fighting demons, urban myths, and magical creatures was playing on the huge 60 inch plasma TV.
"Yesssss, Jensen Ackles and awesome waffles? Today is starting out great." Hailey said as she began to pour some syrup on her favorite breakfast.
"Umm no Jared is hot. Jensen is just…there." Amery said as she ate a buttered biscuit, completely disregarding the look of disgust coming from Hailey.
"What! Jared is cute. But Jensen is fucking hot. Jared's hot my ass…"
"Okay! They're both hot. Now shut up before I turn off the show." Charlie said with a glare to both girls, Liz shaking her head slowly as she ate some scrambled eggs.
The show had gone to commercial, and most but Hailey were nearly done with their homemade delivered breakfast, they were laughing at something Liz had said about the show when Hailey decided to speak what was on her mind.
"Hey you know…we kind of don't have money. How are we going to survive? I mean I know the apartment is paid for and everything, but what about food? And clothes? And our feminine needs?" The messy haired brunette said abruptly, before going back to eating as if she didn't say anything. Charlie and Liz quickly made eye contact then there gaze turned to Amery; they were all thinking the same thing. How could they be so stupid to not think about that, they turned to the only person they could blame since they didn't want to blame themselves.
"Why didn't you think of that earlier?" The three girls yelled to the waffle eating brunette, who jumped at the sudden loudness of their voices. Hailey looked on slightly shocked, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"It's not always my job to be the rational one!" Hailey yelled in her defense, they should have thought about it too.
"YES IT IS!" They all screamed at their victim, causing her to jump again. Charlie dropped her head in defeat when her partners in crime turned on her, asking her what they should do.
"We can just get jobs, here at the hotel. We can ask Butters…"
"Umm…I think his name was Bitters…" Hailey interjected but was quickly silenced for her incompetence.
"You! Don't get a say in this. Ms. doesn't tell her friends about the whole no money situation!" Liz semi yelled at the pouting Hailey. The girls quickly put on their shoes and ran down the flights of stairs since the elevator was taking to long for their liking. They nearly bumped into a guest that was just leaving Bitter's desk.
"We need jobs." Charlie said as soon as she saw Bitters. He looked on slightly shocked then quickly nodded, he was terrified to say no to these girls, he didn't want to be attacked or worse, sued by their families.
"We have j-job openings for housekeeping; all you have to do is keep the palm woods clean." The chunky man said as he handed them four walkie talkies, and four sets of master key cards. He then gave them details to how much they will be getting paid an hour and their schedules. The girls were excited but confused at how easily he had agreed, he didn't even ask if they had experience. It couldn't be that hard, all they had to do was clean.
"You can start n-now; we need help by the pools. I'd advise you t-to go change, you're to be getting dirty." Bitters stuttered as he walked away into his office. The girls looked at each other and shrugged.
"Cool, walkie talkies!" Amery exclaimed as she and the rest of the girls turned them on. They began playing with all the channels, Hailey being the geek she was began to do her Darth Vader impression on the walkie, getting a chuckle and smiles from the girls.
"We should totally have code names!" Hailey exclaimed, getting excited. Looking at her you would never guess she was as much as a geek as she really was. She wore a necklace that said Star Wars around her neck, and one of her rings just so happened to say POW! If you thought that was bad, she had a tattoo of a red light saber on her inner right index finger, and a tattoo of a mustache on her inner left finger. Not to mention the small lightning bolt tattoo on her hip, she only got that one because 'she wanted super powers.'
"Yeah!" Amery exclaimed, she was always the innocent one. She loved going through the plans her friends made, she didn't mind getting hurt as long as the plan went well. People would say she was a bit childish, but she would always retort that life's too short to be worrying about stuff, you gotta be happy in order to really live. Plus she's never really played with walkie talkies before.
"You can call me Bat Girl!" Amery said pretending to hide half her face with an imaginary cape. Liz laughed thinking that was totally suitable for her; Amery was just a good person.
"I'll be…I don't know who, the girls from Batman are too hot for me to be like them." Liz wasn't very extravagant and had a low self-esteem. Her friends would always say she was pretty, but she didn't see that, all she saw a tall red headed girl who is oblivious to flirting but was a flirt herself without even knowing she was. Whenever she finally figured out someone was flirting with her, it was too late. They would think she wasn't interested. That's why she's never had an actual first boyfriend.
"Liz can be Poison Ivy." Hailey suggested. Liz began shaking her head no, but stopped when she felt Charlie's hand on her shoulder.
"Dude, you're hot, and isn't Ivy like a vixen or something?" Charlie asked looking over at Hailey who quickly agreed.
"Yup, she was this nerdy doctor who ends up getting poisoned…then turns into this hot villainess." Hailey said while nodding her head, Liz looking dumbfounded. She was nothing like Poison Ivy.
"That settles it then," Amery said raising her hand upwards with her index finger sticking out. "Liz shall be Poison Ivy."
"So says the Britain! So shall it be!" Hailey said also raising her hand in the same gesture. Charlie chuckled and looked at the confused Liz.
"Look, you've got red hair, so does Ivy. She used to be a dork; you're…not a dork. But you suck at talking to guys. And she's an omega flirt and so are you. You are Poison Ivy." Charlie said explaining why Liz was who she was.
"I'm not an omega flirt!" Liz said to her defense getting eye rolls from all of her friends. She was so oblivious. The girls disregarded the red head and turned to look at Charlie.
"Charlie can be Cat Woman. She's all dominant, think she's in charge, and super sneaky." Hailey said while grinning as Charlie glared at her. Charlie was very strong headed, and a bit of a rebel. But she was true to her friends, true to herself. Even if they didn't like it, she had to be the one in charge, whenever they did get in trouble she always had a plan to get them out of it. And she knew her friends would follow her no matter what.
"She is pretty bad ass." Charlie finally said as she thought of the great fictional burglar. All three girls turned to look at the short brunette who didn't have a code name yet. They each looked on quizzically, who could Hailey be? They then smiled and nodded their head firmly and stated at the same time.
"Harley Quinn." Hailey looked up and smiled. She loved it.
"Hells yeah I'm Harley, I love her. Plus she used to be a psychologist, and you know how I love playing with people's minds." Hailey said grinning while nodding.
"Not to mention the fact that she's completely nuts." Liz said as Hailey smirked in agreement. The girls smiled then furrowed their eyebrows as they heard a huge splash from the pool side, and a few screams. Their eyesight was suddenly captivated by an even grumpier Bitters.
"Pool, now!" They jumped from the sudden anger, and walked over to the pool. There was beach chairs inside the pool, held up by four plastic barrels. The girls looked on bewildered. Who the hell does that?
