“Mommy, are we there yet?”, Melanie moaned as she stumbled out of the cab.

Rachel gave a heavy sigh. I can’t believe I let her talk me into this.

At around 7:30 pm, the trio had arrived in New York, but their cab had gotten lost during the ride to their rented house. Melanie’s impatience and Rachel’s horrible sense of direction didn’t make things easier for the cabbie. Luckily, Nina had neither issue and eventually directed them to the house. She paid the driver a generous tip for both the ride and helping with the luggage.

Tired but excited, the girls quickly made themselves at home. The townhouse was spacious. Three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and a hot tub. Plus, Internet access, books and a TV with every channel in the world. Nina rented a horror movie called Not-so-Silent Hill.com. Both Nina and Melanie loved horror movies, but Rachel hated them. She was quickly overruled. After the movie (and calming down Rachel), the girls chatted about the audition.

Rachel and her new husband, Ryan, got into an argument the other night. He didn’t get a good feeling about the audition, but Mel’s words were echoing in Rachel’s mind. Don’t you want to be somebody?

Both of these people meant the world to her, but they can be so damn….persuasive. But ultimately, Rachel decided to go and Ryan supported her decision.

He even sent a few texts……

Eventually, it was time for bed. Rachel took the biggest room because Nina didn’t like the color pink so much. Mel found it too girly. She took the room with all the toys, while Nina took the ‘leopard room’.

After getting a good night’s rest, Mel, Rachel and Nina got up and called their loved ones. For Melanie, it was Cecil. For Rachel, Ryan.

But for Nina, it was her best friend in the world–her twin sister, Dina. Nina was incredibly jealous of her friends. Both of them had found love, but she hadn’t had a boyfriend since Joey Tribbiani broke her heart nearly two years ago. Since then, she’s seen him plastered all over the sites. One woman after another, after another. It filled her with pain each time she looked at him. Logically, she knew that ending their relationship was the best move. Perhaps, staying single was too. She seemed to have a nasty habit of picking serial cheaters as boyfriends. Before Joey, there was Damien. Before Damien, Samuel. And then there was her first love, that scumbag Don Lothario. Weirdly enough, he was Dina’s first love too. And the reason the sisters’ close relationship was nearly tainted….

Well anyways…..

After showering and getting dressed, the trio decided to explore the city. Since Melanie has been to New York several times, she took on the role of tour guide. They took a brief trip to the Met. Then past John Lennon’s old apartment. Wandering into several shops and boutiques in Manhattan.

“I hope that CeCe and I move here some day.”, Melanie said while twirling around. “Manhattan is just so…magical”.

“You’re really going to abandon us”, Nina said in mock sadness.

“Not at all. You and Dina and Ryan and Rachel? You’re coming with us too. We can raise our kids together like we always dreamed. Oh. Forgot about Laurel and Wes….”

The three of them climbed onto the bus, which took them to Central Park. Central Park looked way better than the brochure. It was like at least 10 of the parks in SimMeapolis, but better.

They spotted a blue-haired girl sitting at one of the benches. It was just the blue hair that got their attention. She was dressed in an interesting way. She wore a crop top with a rock-like pattern and ripped jeans and party heels. Maybe she just got back from clubbing? She seemed magnetic. Melanie wanted to meet her, so they did.

The girl said, “Hey. Are you guys new in town? I’m Bryony, and that’s my friend, Aaliyah.” She pointed to the girl sitting next to her. Aaliyah smiled and everyone exchanged introductions. Aaliyah was tall and slender. She looked like she was going to a job interview. She was wearing a lined blouse with smart slacks. Topped with a pair of two-inch heels.

Bryony was a painter, looking to be the next Frida Kahlo. Aaliyah was a dancer. In fact, that’s why she moved to New York in the first place.

“Yeah. There’s some audition at the Chrysler. Plus, I’m a city girl at heart. I do art, too. Just a different kind. Wanna see?”

“Sure.”, Rachel said, smiling.

It was nice to meet someone else who shared her deep love of art.

Aaliyah was a very talented artist. They were surprised that she didn’t do it for a living.

The five of them spent the rest of the afternoon together–laughing, talking, getting to know each other. Rachel wondered who the secret mega-star was going to be. She hoped they didn’t ride all this way for nothing. Bryony said, “I have no clue. It’s so tight-lipped that we don’t even know if it’s a guy or a girl. Everyone groaned.

Both Aaliyah and Bryony were single. Like Nina, Aaliyah was also escaping a bad marriage. The guy was a well-known singer who was 15 years older than her.

“Broke my heart? I’m surprised I even have one after what he did….”

Nina felt immense empathy for Aaliyah. The ladies all exchange numbers and social media information, hoping to continue their friendship after returning home.

Nina, Rachel and Melanie had so much fun with these two, they didn’t even realize that it was well after dark.

They went back to their rented home and went to bed. They didn’t leave the house again until late the next evening.

The Auditions, chapter 2 "Mommy, are we there yet?", Melanie moaned as she stumbled out of the cab. Rachel gave a heavy sigh.
