Jude quietly sat up in an unfamiliar bed, he rubbed his face with his hands. He looked over his shoulder at some model he had forgotten the name of. Jude quickly scanned the room for his clothes, he got out of the bed and picked them up off the floor. He silently got dressed, buttoning his denim shirt and slipping on his black jeans. He grabbed his wallet and phone from the night stand and quickly made his way into the living room. He took a quick peek out one of the windows, no sign of paparazzi. Jude slipped on his shoes and made his way out the door. The bright sun blinded him as he got into his car, driving to his house.

A buzzing from Derek's phone woke him up, it was a text from Jude. "On my way home, we still on for breakfast?" Derek groaned throwing his head onto his pillow. Derek replied with a simple, "Sure." And got up to get dressed. Derek put on a baseball tee and some blue jeans. He quickly brushed his teeth and checked his twitter for news.

Jude pulled up to the house in his car and texted Derek to come outside.

Derek hopped in to the car, he glanced at Jude and made a face.

"What"

"You smell like vodka and regret"

Red yawned as she awoke from her bedroom in the large studio apartment. She grinned as she looked around. She finally made it to the big time and she was lucky to have her best friend join her. She slid off the bed and stretched her body with another yawn. Red looked over her shoulder at her kittens and two large dogs sleeping in the bed. She couldn't help the slight giggle at the small kittens being surrounded protectively by the Catahoula and Husky. She threw on a pair of ripped jeans and a black top that said 'good girls love bad boys' with a line crossing through it. She slid into her combat boots and looked back at the mewing kittens climbing all over the annoyed dogs. She giggled before saying "love you guys! I'll see you when I get home! Mouse, Tiny don't eat the kittens!" She made her way out of the apartment complex and started walking down the street. She pulled her headphones out of her purse and started listening to music as she strolled. She heard her favorite song, Death Valley from Fall Out Boy, come on and she started singing the lyrics. She waved at passerbys as she walked.

Erica yawned. She had a shoot today, she wish she had remembered that before she got hammered last night. A girl laid beside her, still asleep.

"Wake up, I've got to get ready." Erica called, slipping out of bed and walking over to her mirror. Her eye makeup from the previous night was smudged around her eyes - or rather, the remainders of it were. "Ugh."

The other girl slowly sat up. She yawned and got out of bed too. She was only wearing underwear and a shirt. She was another model - Jemma Harris. She had a kind of unconventional beauty Erica loved, and she was unbelievably intelligent. She was a close friend and occasional sleeping partner of Erica's.

"I have an interview later anyway, Simon will want to prep me all day." Jemma smiled, wrapping her arms around Erica's waist from behind. Simon was Jemma's stylist and general reference to any beauty, hair or fashion problems Jemma had - and he was very good. When Erica looked again, Jemma had put on her jeans and shoes and was ready to go with her bag and sunglasses equipped. "I'll see you later, okay? Call me." With that, she left, and Erica dressed herself.

Nano moaned from the tapping sun light against her face. She wondered how long she had been asleep for. She rolled over to the side grabbing her blanket and throwing it over her face. "Urrgh." The sunlight bathed her skin as she laid on her side. A few moments past and Nano was already snoring. The door suddenly slams open. Her eyes slowly opened adjusting her surroundings. "Huh." A young boy, probably one of her next door neighbors. Wrong. It was the Landlord. "Gurl. You need to start paying your friggin rent. God. What am I going to do with you." Sure, Nano was really good a taking pictures and was known to be famous...but you see. She uses her rent money on cameras. "Yeah. Just. Leave please. You're invading my privacy." She pointed out sitting upwards. "Lemme get..." Nano quietly mumbled falling back to sleep as her finger stayed pointed at the landlord. "Nano!" He yelled one more time. "Huh. What." She said eyes opened widely. "Stop falling back to sleep!" She looked at him with such surprised eyes. "Me? Neverrr." She stood up shooing him away. "I'll pay it next time." Of course she wasn't. Why would she? Hah.

Nano opened up a huge box and inside she saw a elegant yellow dress which as sequined all over. It’s rich Golden color brought out the best features in her. It hung beautifully, words can’t even describe. It was strapless, which showed off her collarbones and her petite shoulders. She twirled around a bit, in love with the dress. In love with herself. Staring at herself in the mirror, she held the tip of her dress.Nano sighed, why was everyone rude? Why did they forget about her? I mean... She shook her head grabbing a hold of her keys and walking out of her room. She took a quick glance at her mirror. Seeing her own self crying and punching the mirror. Her eyes darted away from the scene. Never forgetting that moment. "Shut up." She told herself. Stepping out of her room and locking the door behind her.

Jude and Derek arrived at their favorite breakfast place, a small cafe on the corner of a street. Derek looked out the window, he was surprised by a middle age man, snapping pictures of him and Jude. "Fucking shit," Derek said, putting on his sunglasses.

Jude let out a sigh and reached over Derek to the glove compartment of the car, pulling out a small box. They called this box "The Kit." Jude used it whenever he stayed over at a girl's house and didn't have time to get ready. Jude pulled out some hair gel and fixed his matted hair, he then took a swig of mouthwash, rinsing the vodka smell off his breath. Jude sprayed himself with some expensive cologne and put on his sunglasses. "Let's go." Jude and Derek got out of the car, whilst being harassed by a group of paparazzi, Jude and Derek ignored them. They entered the cafe and were seated within minutes.

Zach was already sitting in the cafe with a glare at his watch. "She's thirty minutes late and she didn't even call me" he mumbled and shifted in his seat. He looked up from his wrist and saw a cute girl across from him checking him out with a 'OMG! Is that Zach Browning?! No. Way.' He couldn't help but please his fans! Zach gave her a small wink and she almost fainted. He chuckled a bit until he saw two men walk in. He rolled his eyes when he saw who. Thank God Red is knew to the famous world, then he could warn her away from those two. Jude and Derek, the Troubling Twosome. Atleast, that's what he called them.

Red entered a good ten minutes behind them and looked around for Zach. Her eyes landed on the two and her eyebrow rose in interest, which Zach disliked. He knew what that eyebrow rising meant and he wanted his sister, even though she doesn't know, to not get into trouble. Red spotted Zach grinned. She said rather loudly as she walked over to him to hug him "there's Zach Attack!" Zach rolled his eyes. "I told you to stop calling me that since 4th grade when that kid bit my ear because he thought I was going o actually attack him." Red grinned. "That's because I broke his favorite two and blamed it on you because you stole my book." Zach chuckled. "Red, you brought your foster brother's porn magazine so you could 'study' sex." Red shrugged as they went to sit down. "It's biology and physical education." He bursts out with laughter and managed to order a water for him and a lemonade for Red.

Jude glanced outside the cafe after being seated, he watched as the paparazzi waited for him, like vultures. He looked down at the plate of food now in front of him. He grinned, it was they were his favorite, chocolate chip pancakes. He looked around the cafe and noticed Zach and Red. Red's hair definitely made her stand out.Jude took a sip of water not breaking eye contact with Red.

"Dude, you're drooling." Derek teased. He shot a look in the direction of Jude's stare. "Do you know her?"

"No but I want to" Jude smirked, slowly eating his pancakes, he ever so often looked at the other table.

"3 billion dollars? For romance flick? Are you out of your mind Alex?" Patricia asked, yet again having another early morning head ache with her fiancee Alexander Frost in front of the CEO's of Midnight Studios, the Goldbloom twins.

"It's not just a romance 'flick' Pat, it's a story of conflicting ideologies, of ages of seperation, hatred and distrust from your own countrymen, of fighting against the odds, of finding common ground with your enemies..." Alex went on, defending the cost of his new proposed movie.

"It's about an American military guard falling in love with an East German and getting her out of the country during the cold war. It's a romance flick Alex. Romance flicks don't cost 3 f**king billion dollars to make. Were not even sure this is profitable."

"It's new, it's a fresh idea, it has a captivating plot and it's never been done before, not the way I'm making it. People would flock to the big screen to watch this."

"Alex, people don't want new or fresh or complex plots. They want something simple that they already watched before and that they would enjoy without having to think about it."

"Not everybody out there are idiots Pat. There are still some people who appreciate a good movie that doesn't have an explosion every f**cking 15 minutes."

"There aren't enough of those people to make a movie like this profitable. besides, you made 3 action movies Alex, that's what you do. You don't change genres because it might end badly."

"Cool it you two." David Goldbloom said, the old man looking at the two like a father disappointed at his children's quarreling. "I like the script and I think we should make a pretty penny out of this. It wont be a block buster but it should still get positive reviews. What do you think Dan?"

His brother, Daniel Goldbloom, took his eyes of the script he was holding and looked at the other people in the room. "I think the script is pretty good too but before I and my brother go out for breakfast, I just want to run through the basics. Tell me where you want to shoot this, who's going to be in it and how long do you think the filming would take?"

Alex combed his blond hair and smiled, he knew his script was already approved. "I want to shoot it in Germany..."

"Stop." David interrupted him. "If we do go for this, we film this in our studio here and in our plots of land around upstate."

"We can't film a movie about Germany outside of Germany." Alex calmly protested. "It just takes away the authenticity of the film."

"Can it Alex, there is no way in hell I'm letting you film this outside of the states. If it does come to that, the farthest I'm letting you go is Canada." David responded. Alex grumbled a little bit and Patricia had a sly smile on her face. "Now go on."

"I still don't have anybody in mind for the roles. I think this model, Erica Montgomery, has the right look for Amada but I don't know if she could act. I'll try to get in contact with her, she if can handle the role. As for the main role, Laurence the military guard, I want somebody new for this role. Somebody who hasn't done much of this type of character yet."

"I don't know who this Montgomery person is but I'll have my people contact her. You told me she was a model?" Daniel asked.

"A friend of mine knows her and I've seen her in some ads on the t.v. Put on a blonde wig on her and she's practically has everything Laurence described in his book. Like I said, she's only been known for modeling but I think we could make this work. A few acting lessons and I'll take care of the rest."

"I don't know about this..." Daniel followed. "But I'll take a look at her first if we do go on with filming this. Now, how long do you think the filming would last."

"Since we are filming this in California..." Alex rolled his eyes. The twins frowned at this and Patricia gave Alex a serious look. A look that said they'll get fired if he keeps acting like a jack**s. "I say it would take 8 to 10 months tops. Of course editing the films would take about two months or so, so a year to complete the film all together."

"Sounds good. Look you two, we'll talk about this in more detail over dinner at my place. Be there at around 7 and don't be late. Don't go drinking either, that means you Patricia. Now if you excuse us, we'll be having breakfast now." David said, standing up and shaking both their hands.

Lily opened her blue eyes to the sound of her alarm clock, it still sounded strange. It was her old alarm clock she used back in NYC, but now she was in Hollywood. She slipped out of bed and stretched, yawning while doing so. She looked and the mirror and saw her blond hair was a bedhead mess, she chuckled, "What would the paparazzi think if I went out like this?" She search through her messily organized closet and pulled out blue jeans and a white button up t-shirt. She put her clothes on then slipped on a pair of black converse. She went into the bathroom, applied her makeup and straightened out her hair. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes with her hand on the door. "Remember," she said to herself, "The world is watching," she opened the door of her apartment and walked outside. She smiled at anyone who recognized her and walked to a nearby cafe. She entered the door, smiling at the smell of coffee and pastries. She saw Jude and Derek and frowned, she would just avoid them. She walked up to the counter to order a bagel and a hot chocolate.

Derek shoved toast in his mouth, observing the cafe, he noticed Lily. Derek tried to stop staring but he was a fan of her work. He wiped his mouth and walked over to the counter, he ran his fingers through his curly hair. "Hi Lily i'm sorry to bother you but i'm actually a huge fan of your work." Derek blushed a little, out of all the celebrities Jude has introduced to Derek. This was definitely the one that made him the most nervous. "Could I get a picture?"

Zach turned to her in his seat and said "do we have the new song ready? We have to record it really soon. If we don't get an album out-" Red grinned slightly. "The song's done." Zach sighed in relief. "Good. I can't stand when you procrastinate." Red laughed slightly. "Oh come on! It's part of my charm!" She grinned slightly. Zach rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah." He glanced over at the table Jude and Derek sat and saw Jude glancing at Red. Zach straightened slightly. "It seems your 'charm' caught the eye of the biggest player in Hollywood." Red glanced at Jude and her eyebrow rose when he said player. She gave Zach an 'are you serious' look. "Were you runner-up?" Zach glared at her. "Haha very funny." Red grinned at him before turning her sights back to Jude and winking playfully. She turned her attention back to Zach and said "watch the master at work."

Jude grinned when Red winked, he looked down at his plate that was almost done. He watched Derek try to talk to Lily, he ran his hand through his hair and sat back. Jude called the waitress over and whispered something in her ear. She smiled and walked over to Zach and Red's table. "Mr. Nelson is paying for your meals." she said in a bubbly way.

Her cheeks grew the tiniest bit pink. She knew Jude was a snob, but Derek intrigued her. She always wondered why he hung out with someone like Jude. She noted the way her ran his fingers through his hair and smiled a little on the inside, he was nervous to see her. She smiled "Thanks," her blue eyes sparkled, "And of course you can have a picture! I'll sign it too if you want." She said and grinned, this was one of her favourite parts about being a celebrity, making other people happy with a picture

Erica entered the café, joining the queue and ordering a coffee. She only wore a small amount of makeup and had her hair tied up in a bun - a typical look for going to a shoot.

Erica spotted Jude and smiled, though she doubted she had caught his attention. He already had his eye on someone else. It wasn't that big of a deal, she just wanted to get her coffee and go. She always liked being early.

Derek smiled, "A picture's fine." He chuckled, he leaned over the counter and asked the waitress to take their picture. Derek handed the waitress his phone and stood next to Lily. He put his hand on her waist and smiled. The waitress handed the phone back, "Thank you" Derek said. Derek quickly posted the picture on twitter, captioning it ' Guess who i ran into :P' Derek turned to Lily, "Thanks for the picture" Derek chewed his bottom lip.

Jude looked over at Erica, he remembered her from somewhere. He waved in her direction.

She smiled, with it reaching all the way up to her eyes, making them brighten, "my pleasure," she said. "So, I know this sounds rude, but I always wondered what you do." She cocked her head with curiosity, even though he was best friends with a celebrity he had to have a job right? "Sorry, you don't have to answer," she said quickly. She was holding her bagel and hot cocoa as she talked to him. She always asked too personal questions, she scolded herself inside

Derek grinned, no one ever asked him that question. Everyone's questions always had something to do with Jude, "I work at the animal shelter down the street," Derek glanced at Lily, and looked down at the ground. Derek ran his hand through his hair again. "You know when i'm not at some stupid event with Jude" He chuckled.

"Animal shelter?" She asked and her eyes widened with interest. She sat down at a nearby table and gestured for Derek to do so as well. She always loved animals, especially dogs. She missed her old dog in NYC, an old beagle named Basil. "What's it like?" She asked and leaned her elbow on the table, placing her chin on her palm, her eyes full of interest

((Sorry double post))

Derek sat down at the table with Lily, he leaned in close so they were face to face. He noticed what he did and backed up a little. "It's amazing, also kinda sad. They're a lot of dogs and cats left to die on the streets, and we try to nurse them back to health. And when they're ready people start to adopt them. I would adopt all of them if Jude allowed animals in the house." Derek's eyes lit up as he talked more about the animals. "And one time there was this one french bulldog with one eye, i named him Uno" Derek leaned in closer as he talked to Lily, he didn't notice until paparazzi started snapping pictures of them. "Crap." Derek stood up,
