Elizabeth was touching up her makeup, tonight was the opening for Todd's new show, and she had to look her best. When she saw Jessica she smiled.
"Looking good sis!" The twins were sporting nearly identical outfits, and with Jessica's new haircut, the twins nearly looked like mirror images.
"Thanks." Jessica wasn't used to her new haircut yet, she had long hair all her life. But she knew she looked great, Elizabeth was proof. Their dresses were from The Young and Beautiful, they were given to the twins as a thank you from the producers since Elizabeth was nominated for a Emmy for her portrayal of Victoria, something Jessica was jealous of, but tried to hide it. "How's the dress?" Elizabeth was wearing a deep blue cocktail dress, while Jessica was wearing a gold one, nothing too fancy, but perfect for a bar.
"Not bad, but a bit plain." Ten years ago Elizabeth couldn't care less about fashion, but she did a lot of growing up since then. She never told Jessica she was glad she slept with Todd all those years ago, otherwise she wouldn't have grown as the person she was today.
"Maybe for you, I think they're just right." Jessica never thought her and her sister would be so different nowadays. Jessica back then was considered the 'wild twin,' with Elizabeth the 'conservative twin.' But ten years changed both. Neither were the same since high school. Elizabeth cared more about fashion and was way more driven, and Jessica, while always well dressed, was more subdued these days. Other than her job as an actress, she rarely went out to party like many in the industry. "Nervous about the party?" Her and Todd rarely spoke these days.
"Not really. New York is fast-paced, I assume LA is well. Are your bosses okay with you being on TV?" Elizabeth knew how Hollywood frowned on reality TV. Jessica had a contract that she can't be on any reality television show, actresses and actors only were on those things when their roles dried up.
"I'm there as a guest. Besides, we'll play the twin angle. The show will be focused on Todd anyways." She self-consciously touched her new haircut. "Lila and Bruce will be bringing the limo, lets go! I want to congratulate Todd before the show goes on air."
Elizabeth was laughing in the limo with everyone else.
"You guys look so cute!" Billie knew the twins didn't like dressing alike, they hated getting mixed up. But they looked great in their matching outfits. Other than the colour of their dresses, their outfits were identical from head to toe.
"Thanks!" Jessica missed this. She smiled at Elizabeth. The last time they twinned up was Halloween during sophomore year in college, not including Steven's and Billie's wedding.
"Elizabeth, I heard. Congrats." Bruce remembered when he was nominated for awards. His movie got Bruce where he was today.
"Thanks. I didn't expect it." Elizabeth was surprised when she got that envelope from the Emmy Awards community. She and Jessica were about to head out shopping when the carrier came. When she opened it, Jessica was surprised when she screamed. Jessica screamed with Elizabeth once she saw it. After the shock, both twins called everyone.
"My sister the actress." Jessica was smiling, but she was disappointed that she didn't get a mention. She tried to be happy for her sister, but it was hard. She was Brittany for years.
"Don't worry, your time will come. My star power will fade pretty soon." As much as Elizabeth had fun on the show, she had no interest in acting. She wanted to be a writer, her true passion. But what genre to pick? She did journalism since sixth grade, dabbled in play-writing that one summer during college, even wrote some short stories, which got rave reviews. She thought about the draft she wrote about her and Jessica's adventures in sixth grade. She never showed anyone, she was too shy. Plus embarrassed about the memories. She was so lost in thought, she didn't notice when Bruce yelled that they're here.
"Holy shit! Look at the crowd!" He been to Todd's bar a few times, but the crowds were never this big even during college. The line stretched down the block. "How will we get inside?"
"Winston told me that Todd made arrangements for his friends. We're on the list." Jessica knew Brooke was already inside. She glanced nervously at the crowds. "So many cameras, you sure this is just the pilot episode?" Can You Engage! Was filming the Pilot in Todd's bar. Usually she loved television, but she was nervous for some reason.
"Well, hopefully the cameras won't make me look fat." Lila was self-conscious about her pregnancy. Her once flat stomach was no longer flat.
"You look fine." Billie didn't know Lila that well, but knew how vain she was. She remembered her own pregnancy, how heavy she felt. "You ready?" She squeezed Steven's hand.
"Lets do this!" Elizabeth couldn't wait.
Cara smiled at the laughter and remarks about Todd and his new career as a television reality star. She hated being in the spotlight, her relationship with the Karl Family was in many crime shows. She forced herself to forget about her own problems, this was Todd's night.
One of the crew members was watching the limo. Once he saw who he was waiting for, he waits till they all go in. He then excuses himself saying he was supposed to help out the camera crews.
