Hey, I was wondering if this'd be a correct place for this, if not, could you move it to where it's supposed to be? (Admins.)
The setting is in an apartment, a girl is watching a soap opera, her name is Jane Doe. She's drinking coffee and eating pickles.
"Oh crud blood, why does John have to die? He's leaving Jesse behind, aww, look at her, she's crying!"
She threw a pickle at the tv screen and said,
"They always kill the cute guys!"
And she brooded about it for a while.

Suddenly there was a knock at her door. She opened it to find a man standing there. He was tall and boyish, no more than twenty-three.
"Hello...?" she said.
"Hello. Do you have a moment?" he smiled at her.

Jane looked the boy up and down. 'Ah crud,' she thought, ' not another travelling salesman....'
"I'm not gonna buy whatever you're selling, but you can still tell me about it, at least I won't be damaging the tv anymore..."
and she let him in

He looked at her with amusement, "I am no salesman, ma'am. I come on....<cough> other business."

"Want a pickle?" she asked, even if she thought the salesman was lying to her, she would at least give him a dill. She let him in, and motioned for him to sit on the gray couch, he obliged and she asked, "What kind of business?"

The man swallowed a bite of pickle, then said, "You got the part." She looked at him blankly for a moment, so he said, "Several months ago, you auditioned to take place in a Broadway production. You were awarded the lead. Congratulations."

"OH MY GOSH!!! OH MY GOSH!!" She jumped up and down and hugged the man. Everything started to grow dim, and she clutched the man as she fell down in a faint.

He chuckled softly after she fainted and gently put her on the couch. He found the kitchen and got her a glass of water, splashing a little on her face to revive her. So young. He wondered what had brought her into acting, and hoped that it didn't ruin her like it had so many others. The man receeded into his memories of a bright girl with hair the color of autumn, and eyes a perfectly cool green-blue....

Jane woke up with a start and walked into the kitchen, there was a strange man sitting, slumped over at the table, asleep. Then it all came back to her, he was the man who told her she got the lead part in the play, and she had fainted. She almost fainted again when she remembered.
"Um, mister....mister. WAKE UP, MR. DUDE!!!" she yelled in his ear.
He jumped up and gave a something that sounded like a mix between a grunt and a yell. She looked excitedly at him:
"What now? Am I gonna have a trailer? My own personal sushi bar? Am I gonna have a spa?" She beamed at him. She was so excited that she could hardly contain herself.

He chuckled, his eyes dancing in their solemn way. "First thing is first. You pack and we leave for New York. This is Broadway, after all, not Hollywood. Quality is preferred over big money, though both are nice. Do you have a suitcase? Some extra funds? You'll probably be living with the cast. I will escort you to where you need to be. Our flight leaves tomorrow." She had so much energy, it was rubbing off.

"ok!" she said happily, and half ran, half walked to her room. She pulled her suitcase out of the closet with much difficulty, and dragged it to her small dresser. She stuffed her clothes into it, and zipped it shut before anything could spring out. She ran over to a cage and grabbed her fat hamster and stuffed it into her back pack with its food, and she dumped a bit of bedding in just to make comfortable. She heard some foot steps, and zipped her back pack shut before he could see inside. His eyes flicked from the backpack to the empty hamster cage. She swung her hair out of her face and laughed nervously.

He raised one eyebrow in amusement. "A hamster?" he sighed, "We all have our things that make us unique. Welcome to show biz, kid!"

"Harry has been with me through thick and thin, through shadow and light, through aspen bedding and shredded newspaper, through carrots and-" she stopped short, flushing to the roots of her hair.
She stood there for a second, her toes suddenly became a very interesting subject to look at.
"sooo..... when are we going?"

He repeated himself patiently, "Our flight leaves tomorrow." She had probably not heard in all her buzzing about. "Would you like to stay the night here, or get moving? I have a room reserved for myself at the Mariott down the street."

she stopped to think about whether she should come or stay, and decided she wanted to start on her trip as soon as possible "I'll come with you. what time does the flight leave tomorrow?"

"Early. Six O'Clock, but we'll want to be in the airport by five."
