Much as Miranda wanted to play it cool, she had to admit that even a
quick trip to a tropical island to shoot a movie was pretty exciting.
Discovering that she'd have a friend there was even better.
"Jenny!" Miranda cheered. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm playing Lady Blanche, the ingenue ward of the wicked Countess," Jenny said proudly.
"You totally deserve the role," Miranda said. "Mom doesn't have that much pull with the studio."
"Oh wow," Miranda added. "Judith Ward?"
"The wicked Countess herself," Jenny nodded, adding in a whisper, "That's also the part she's playing."
"I'm going to get out of sight," Miranda said. "Let's catch up inside."
"No," Jenny smiled, "but I loved your work in Sixam Invaders."
"Hey, yeah," Zayne drawled, "that was a fun flick. Come by my room, I'd be happy to tell you all about it."
"Let's let Jenny settle in," Cassie interjected.
"Cool," Zayne grinned. "Looks like this could be a fun flick too."
Cassie smiled brittlely.
And I thought he was creepy before he grew the beard, Cassie thought. Oh well, hopefully Jenny can take care of herself. Thank God Miranda is too young of him.
OK, Miranda thought after unpacking, I'm in a fancy hotel room on a tropical island. This isn't so bad. I wonder how Jenny is settling in.
"Oh... ummm, sorry," Miranda stammered. "I didn't mean to..."
"No problem," Jenny replied drowsily. "I'm just getting a tan."
"You know you're not wearing anything, right?" Miranda asked.
Jenny nodded. "Tan lines are totally unprofessional."
Leaving Jenny to her tan, Miranda changed into her swimsuit and decided to enjoy the water...
... and get a tan herself. An unprofessional one, she thought firmly.
Later, she and Jenny met up at the beach. Jenny filled Miranda in on her summer - life with a ghost, small acting gigs and a minor parade of boyfriends...
... while Miranda filled Jenny in on her summer in Tartosa.
"Yes sir, we have eyes on them. Yes sir, we will."
