FINAL DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN RENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Okay, so the wedding is in three days!" said Maureen nervously.
"Don't worry, sweetheart," Joanne said. "It will be wonderful." Maureen pilled her into a kiss. "Knock, knock!" said a light voice. A deep laugh followed it. "Collins, Angel!" squealed Maureen.
"Hey Maur, hey Jo!" Greeted Collins.
"Hola, Chicas!" Exclaimed Angel.
"Hi Ange." Smiled Joanne.
"Enough greetings, let's get down to business." said Angel. Collins groaned and she leaned back to the couch he was sitting on and kissed his cheek. "That's better." joked Collins. "Anyway, are you going to wear dresses or what?"
"Formal, but not a dress," Joanne replied. "A suit."
"Probably a skirt." Maureen thought aloud. Angel nodded in agreement. Collins had busied himself with the T.V. "Hey, Mark's mentioned as a staff member!" He said.
"Duh! Do you just want attention, hun?" teased Angel. Collins faked a hurt look. "We'd better go. Call me!" She said and hugged Maureen and Joanne. "Bye!" They all called to each other.
"After we get married, should we adopt?" asked Angel the next day.
"Angel baby, not that I don't want kids but don't you think it's a little early to be thinking about that?" reasoned Collins. Angel looked at him with puppy dog eyes. "I'll think about it." He sighed. She giggled and kissed him on the forehead. "Thank you."
Collins smiled in return. "Let's go get lunch at the Life Café." Angel agreed. When they arrived, Angel saw one of her old friends. "Colette!" She squealed.
"Hey, Angel!" said a beautiful brunette, getting up from her table to hug Angel.
"This is Collins-" The drag queen started.
"Friends call me Collins, Tom Collins." Collins said his trademark line. Colette and Angel laughed. "Here's my number, Ange, call me sometime."
"Okay," Angel looked at the card. "Catscratch?"
"Yeah, so?" Colette looked confused.
"Do you know Mimi Marquez?"
"Yeah,
do you?"
"Uh huh." said the couple.
"She's really cool, she's leaving soon though. Probably because of her boyfriend."
"Mimi and Roger, her boyfriend are really close to us. In fact, Roger used to live with Collins and three others. Meems is my best friend, had been for a while." Angel said. Soon the friends said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Angel and Collins ordered and talked. Finally Collins said, "Angelcake, it's time to go." She agreed, but said good bye to him. She soon found herself outside Roger, Mark and Mimi's apartment building. She entered. When at the familiar door, she knocked.
Inside his home, Roger was strumming his guitar softly, waiting for Mimi to get off the phone. When she did, there was a knock at the door. "Come in." Mimi said.
"Hola, Chica!" greeted Angel cheerfully. "Guess who I ran into today?"
"Hmm… Maureen?" She gave a weak guess.
"No silly, Colette! She's my old friend!" Angel said as she rolled her eyes. Mimi looked surprised.
"Colette?!?"
"Yeah."
"So I guess she told you the news?" She remarked. Angel nodded sympathetically. She brought Mimi into a bear hug. "You weren't planning to tell us that way, were you?"
Mimi shook her head. "It's okay though."
"So, watch'a been doing all day?" The drag queen wondered.
"Nothing." Replied Roger, groaning.
"We suspect Mark has a new girl."
Angel looked surprised. "Prolly just likes her." She mused. Roger agreed.
"Let's find out." challenged Mimi. Roger gave his muttered consent. Mimi pulled them up from the couch. "Were off!" She cheered, pumping her fist triumphantly. Angel giggled. Grumbling slightly, Roger put on his leather jacket and helped Mimi pull her fashionable boots on. Laughing, they made their way up the stairs. When he heard the knock, Mark quickly turned the projector off. Roger could tell it had recently been on. "Suspicious." He muttered to the girls.
"Hello!" greeted Mark. They all responded.
"So what's up?"
"Same, same." Said Mimi for the whole group. He nodded.
"What were you screening?" Roger wondered.
"Nothing important. Just reviewing."
Roger raised an eyebrow. "Really!" insisted Mark. Angel laughed. Childishly, he stuck out his tongue at her. She pretended to look offended.
"Did you come here for a reason?" He questioned.
"Not really." Roger lied. Mark raised his eyebrows. "Really!" Roger imitated. They both laughed. "Seriously! I need to uh… go! Go out!" said Mark, stumbling on his own words. "Ooo! Marky has a girlfriend!" whispered Mimi to Angel. The girls giggled. They all made themselves comfortable on the couch. "I might quit work on the way. Tomorrow, at lunch, I'll have an announcement." Mark thought aloud.
Benny bounced his niece on his knees. "You're a natural." commented Alison, looking at the smiling baby. Benny laughed. "We have a very smiley baby here, Alison."
"Of course." chuckled Alison. Let's go to the playground." They put Katherine into her stroller and headed to the park. Alison went down the slide a few times with the baby. After a half hour, the little girl began to get sleepy so they went home. After she was asleep, Alison and Benny watched 'It's a Wonderful Life'. Benny randomly started cracking up and he told Alison his memory. Soon, Katherine woke up and her mother arrived. "Thanks Alison, Benny." She said gratefully. Alison smiled. The rest of the day was uneventful and it ended quickly.
