A/N: Enter Will Darcy. Yup, he's finally here...

Have fun reading. Don't go too crazy. Leave a review. Thanks a bunch.

Ch. 3

Their cab pulled up to a night club with a big neon sign, music that could be heard from a mile away, and a line that stretched the entire block. Charlotte paid the cabbie and the three girls stepped out onto the curb. Liz and Jane were making their way towards the long line, but Charlotte stopped them.

"Guys, we don't have to wait in line. Follow me." Charlotte waved her hand towards the unfriendly-looking bouncer.

"Hey, Mitch. How's the fam? Is the wife treating you well?" Charlotte inquired. The man she was talking to⎯Mitch, apparently⎯was a muscular looking man with a buzz cut and too-tight t-shirt. His frown grew into a smile when Charlotte started talking to him.

"Ahhh, Charlotte Lucas, good to see you. Are these two ladies with you tonight?" Mitch asked.

"Yea, these are my old friends from high school who just moved to L.A. Mitch, this is Liz and Jane." Charlotte turned towards Liz and Jane to address them, "Liz, Jane, this is Mitch the bouncer. He's awesome!"

Liz and Jane smiled at the bouncer and waved to signal their hello.

"Well, any friend of Charlotte's is a friend of mine. Have a good time ladies" Mitch said as he opened the rope to let the girls in.

"Thanks, Mitch." Charlotte replied as she pulled her friends passed the bouncer and into the club.

"Wow, Char. Come here often? 'Cause you're on a first-name basis with the bouncer" Liz joked.

"Actually, yes. I conduct a lot of my business here. Welcome to Cloud 9, The hottest club in L.A and the playground for all the Hollywood types. I've interviewed many slightly tipsy celebrities here."

"The club is called Cloud 9? That's kinda tacky, don't you think?" Elizabeth questioned while scanning the room.

"Yea, just ignore the name. It's a really nice place." Was Charlotte's answer.

Elizabeth looked over to Jane who was sporting a huge smile and eyeing up a guy across the room who was staring at Jane with an equally cheesy smile.

"I'll see you guys later." Jane said without taking her eyes off the mysterious man.

"Bye, Janie. We'll be at the bar getting some drinks." Her sister responded.

Jane and the other two parted ways. Both Charlotte and Liz walked up to the bar. Charlotte urged Liz to order the signature drink, the Cloud Cocktail.

Drinks in hand, Charlotte and Liz leaned against the bar, scanning the crowd. Charlotte's eyes suddenly stopped on a tall man who had at least a dozen girls fawning over him.

"Holy cow." Char said.

"What? What's wrong, Char?" Elizabeth asked, concerned.

"It's Will Darcy. Iv'e been wanting to get on his good side so that I could get an interview. He never gives any."

At L.A Mag, Charlotte was the lead celebrity blogger. She had done tons of celebrity interviews, but never one for Will Darcy.

"Well then let's go over there so you can charm the pants off that man for an interview." said Elizabeth.

Charlotte walked over to Will Darcy with Liz following closely behind. She wasn't too fond on celebrities. It's not that they intimidated her, it was just that they flaunted their wealth in front of all the lesser folk.

"Hello, Will. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm Charlotte Lucas with L.A Mag. We talked a while ago about a possible interview." Came Charlotte's confident voice.

"No. I'm not interested. I believe I already told you." Will Darcy responded icily, his jaw clenched in anger.

Without another word, Will Darcy left Char. He walked right up to the man Jane was eyeing earlier. The two were intently holding a conversation. Charlotte and Liz followed him.

"Hey, Janie. Who's this?" Elizabeth asked, looking to a man with crazy red hair and a radiant smile.

"Oh Liz!" Jane was startled out of her conversation. "This is Charlie Bingley."

Noticing her surrounding for the first time since she started talking to Charlie, Jane looked up and saw Will.

"You must be Will Darcy." Jane smiled pleasantly. "Charlie was just telling me about his job."

The two shook hands, Will's a little tense, but Jane's warm and welcoming. Jane looked back to Liz and Charlotte and noticed their inquisitive glances. She then said, "Charlie was telling me about how he works for Will Darcy as his agent."

"And best friend since third grade." Charlie added jokingly, shaking Liz's hand, then Charlotte's. "Nice to meet you two."

"Pleasure to meet you as well. I'm Liz, Jane's sister, and this is our friend, Charlotte. Did you say your last name was Bingley? It sounds familiar."

Charlie laughed a little. "Yea. Caroline has been in the news quite a bit lately." He glanced up at Will who was now frowning even more, if that was possible.

"Let's not go into that, Charlie." Will's voice boomed.

The group fell silent as they all looked to Will. What a 'tude this guys got Liz thought.

Not knowing what to say, Liz took a big sip of her drink, but realized it was a mistake when a burning sensation filled her throat and stomach. "Holy shit!" Liz cried. "What is this? My throat is burning!"

Charlotte patted her back. "Oh, I'm sorry sweetie. I forgot that you aren't very good with alcohol."

Everyone started laughing, minus Will Darcy. "Haha. Yea, I never was a big drinker in high school. Here, Jane, you take my drink."

"No. Fucking. Way." Charlotte said as she looked off in the distance. "Is that Lindsay Lohan? She must be out of jail now. I gotta get a few words from her."

And with that, Charlotte was gone, having lost interest in Will Darcy. The group descended into yet another awkward silence.

After a few moments of the silence, Liz couldn't take it anymore. She spoke up, "Well, I'm gonna go dance. Anyone want to come with?" Realizing that Jane and Charlie probably wanted to be left alone, she extended the invitation. "Will? Up for dancing?"

"I don't dance." Will responded curtly.

Well, Elizabeth wasn't expecting that. Who would come to a night club and refuse to dance? Will Darcy, that's who.

She didn't know what to do so she just laughed. A big, hearty, genuine laugh. Then, she patted Will on the back and walked away, carrying her laughter with her.

Will though he could hear her say as she walked away "Who comes to a club and doesn't dance?" Will just frowned and stalked off.

Jezze, what's wrong with him? He must think he's above everyone else Elizabeth thought. She played it cool on the outside as she returned to her spot at the bar, but inside she was fuming.

At that moment, she decided that she did not like him. Will Darcy was an arrogant bastard.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Charlotte asked, somewhat amused, somewhat concerned.

"I think I hate Will Darcy." Elizabeth complained.

"Yea, I could tell hon. He might be an ah-mazing actor and a total hottie, but I think he has social anxiety." Charlotte sighed.

"Or maybe someone just needs to get that stick out of his ass. He looks so angry. Are you getting a hulk vibe from him, 'cause I am."

"Hah, I can see it. Hulk Smash!" Charlotte joked, pounding her fist on the bar. "Hey, I'm gonna need another drink over here. Like, pronto." She said after she turned to the bartender.

"So how was Lohan? Did you get to talk to her?" Elizabeth asked.

"Oh, no. It was a drag queen. Kinda bummed about that. He said a lot of people think he looks like Lindsay Lohan. He has some very feminine features about him."

The bartender brought over a drink and Charlotte immediately handed it to Liz. "Here, baby girl. Drink up. This one is less alcoholic."

Liz gratefully accepted the drink and downed it rather quickly.

"Woah there. You thirsty?" Charlotte laughed and motioned to the bartender for another one.

With another drink in both of them, Liz momentarily forget about Will Darcy. That is, until she spotted him sitting in the corner staring at her.

"Hey, Char" Liz whispered as if Will could hear her from across the room with music blaring, "I think Will is staring at me. It's creeping me out."

"I think you're seeing things. Maybe you've had too much to drink. I think It's time to leave." Charlotte responded.

Liz returned her gaze to Will Darcy. She didn't care what Charlotte thought, she knew he was staring at her. As soon as Will noticed her returned gaze, he quickly looked away and got up from the table he was sitting at. She couldn't tell where he went because he got lost in the sea of people dancing.

Charlotte grabbed her hand and led Elizabeth towards the door. But before they exited, the two remembered that they had left Jane with Charlie.

"Shit. I'll be right back. Janie is still in there."

Charlotte left Elizabeth by the door, who then crouched down in a corner where a plant shielded her from view. Liz had only had about three drinks, but boy did they get to her. If she sat down for a couple of minutes, maybe she could make the room stop spinning.

Just then, she heard two male voices approaching. They stopped just before her and the plant.

"She is stunning, Will. I think she could be the One." Came a familiar voice. Elizabeth realized that the voice was Charlie and he was talking to Will.

"Charlie, you say this every week. Jane is no different than what's-her-face from the other day." Will countered.

"No, she's different. I really like her. And her sister was quite pretty too."

"Humph." Will scoffed. "Not really. She's not pretty at all. And her dress was two sizes too small. I'm tired of you trying to set me up with girls just seeking the fame that comes with dating me, and she was clearly one of them."

Oh no he didn't! Elizabeth thought. She would have gotten up and smacked him in the face, but that would take energy. Energy that Liz didn't have in her.

Charlie and Will whispered some words back and forth, but Liz couldn't hear what they were saying. She didn't want to hear what Will had to say anymore anyway.

Shortly after, the men left and Liz could hear the paparazzi outside yelling 'Will! Look over here!' and 'Will could I get a few words?!'

Ugh! What was the big deal with Will Darcy. Sure, he was super famous, but his personality was equivalent to that of a stick.

Liz didn't spend much more time dwelling on the dull personality of Will much longer because Charlotte came back in the room with Jane in tow.

Jane found Liz behind the plant and helped her up. Jane always took care of her when something like this happened to her.

The rest of the night was a blur. Elizabeth remembered stumbling back into their apartment. With Jane's help, she was able to get her PJ's on and slip into bed.

In the warmth and safety of her sheets, Elizabeth dreamed sweet dreams of Will Darcy getting swept up by a tornado.
