The Daily Grind
August 14, 2008
Westchester, NY
9:26 AM
Massie and Claire were sitting backstage of the infamous talk show, The Daily Grind, getting their hair and make up done. They were both wearing Marc Jacobs baby doll dresses with matching Marc Jacobs flip-flops. Massie was wearing royal purple and Claire was wearing baby blue. Massie's hair was curled to perfection and Claire's was straightened and pulled into a side pony.
When Massie was done, she stood up and did a twirl.
"Rate me" Massie said.
"WHAT??? Mass, come on! That so seventh grade!" Claire responded with shock in her voice.
"Kuh-laire! Do I look like Duh-livia?"
Claire rolled her eyes and said, "No"
"Then why do you think I'm so out!" Massie retorted with a frown… "That's so not my best one!" Both of the girls laugh at that.
"Fine you're a 9.9" Claire said.
"What would make me a ten?" Massie asked
"Add a bit more blush to highlight you cheek bones and ummm…. sprinkle some sparkles on your eyelids." Massie did as she was told and said "Kay, Kuh-laire. Your turn."
With that, Claire stood up and did a twirl for Massie.
"Hmmmm…. your a 9.9, but if you add some lip gloss you're a definite 10"
" Kay. Thanks!" Claire chimed and sat back down.
All of a sudden Dylan Marvil walked backstage to see her ex- best friends. She hadn't seen them in person for three years and despite being within 30 feet of her, and she couldn't even say hi to her! She had to fight the urge to go up and hug them. She wanted to go up to them and tell them she missed them, and tell them to come back and be her best friends again. However, that was impossible because Massie would never forget what they did to her.
Massie saw Dylan staring at her so she grabbed Claire and walked way out of Dylan's sight to go find Merri-Lee Marvil.
The girls sauntered up to Merri-Lee and shrieked when they found her.
"Merri-Lee!!!" Merri-lee was always like a mother to them when Dylan was their bestie.
"Girls!" Merri-Lee shrieked back. "How are you? You girls have gotten so tall and so gorgeous. I haven't seen you personally in what? Three years? Come here and give me a hug!"
The girls did as they were told and began talking to Ms. Marvil.
"We're excellent! We're having a blast in Hollywood and our careers have really kicked off but of course, you already knew that!" the girls said.
"Of course I did and I'm glad you girls are having fun but we're gonna need you to stay backstage until we call you up in about 5, so go make yourselves comfortable back stage."
"Oh no problem. We just wanted to say hi." Claire said as she and Massie linked arms and stalked off.
The girls goofed around back stage until the producer mouthed, "we're on in 5… 4…3…2…1" And with that the camera showed an image of Merri- Lee sipping a cup of coffee.
"Good Morning America!" She started. "Today our very special guests are 2 girls I've personally known since they were born. They've starred in plethora movies and are also nicknamed The Sweethearts Of Hollywood. Please give it up for Massie Block and Claire Lyons!!!"
As the girls confidently strutted on stage with their heads held up high and sweet smiles plastered onto their faces, the audience went wild. They were going so crazy that it actually made the girls and Merri-lee laugh.
"Okay, okay, please calm down." Merri-lee said while laughing. The audience slowly calmed down, and Merri-Lee started questioning the girls.
"WOW girls! You have a lot of fans out there. The crowd hasn't gone this wild for a long time." Merri-lee stated with a chuckle. " But anyway, are the rumors true that Claire is going out with the star actor of Twilight, Robert Pattinson. Is that true?"
The question made Claire blush while Massie giggled to herself.
"No, there is nothing going on between me and Robert. We are just good friends and he was trying to make Kristen Stewart jealous with me but it didn't work. That is just a rumor, Robert and I are just great friends, and, remain great friends." Claire said lying. The truth was that she broke up with him because he was cheating on her with Kristen Stewart but the public doesn't have to know that, do they?
"Oh, I see, I see. Well there is also a rumor that you girls are moving back to Westchester. Is that true too??" Merri-lee questioned.
"Yes Ms. Marvil, that rumor is, in fact, true. In fact, we just moved into town yesterday. We'll be taking a break from Hollywood just to catch up with our old friends and have some fun." Massie said with a smirk. "We'll be attending Westchester High for our junior year and will return back to Hollywood next summer."
Merri-lee continued to talk to the girls about how their life changed, what are their future goals were, etc. After a while, they saw the red light flash once, which said that they had exactly one minute left. She wrapped it up and the cameras went off.
"Thank you girls very much for coming to the show! Hopefully, I'll see more of you now that you live here." Merri-lee said before she walked away.
The girls went back stage and signed autographs, and talked with their fans that had backstage passes. An hour and a half later, they then left the set of The Daily Grind, heading for home.
Hey guys there you have it. Chapter 3.
