~~Downstairs~~
Gia: What about Lucky?
Carly: (hears Lucky's voice in her head "She's a friend, nothing more...") Oh, um, he quit Deception right?
Gia: (slightly disappointed) Oh. Yeah, why?
Carly: Well, why doesn't he get a job at Jax Cosmetics?
Gia: (stands up) I'm sure he'll pass along a copy of his portfolio there too (pushes in chair) Thanks for the tip though. Bye
Carly: Bye. (she leaves and Carly lets her head fall on top of the table) Stupid Carly, you're stupid! (banging head)
~~Upstairs~~
Lucky: Well, what about Gia?
Zander: (hears Gia's voice "You're not doing this....") Umm, I was just wondering, she wants to model professionally again, right?
Lucky: (sighs) Yeah?
Zander: Well is she going to use these pictures for her benefit too? She should try Jax Cosmetics.
Lucky: (picks up bag and coat) Yeah thanks, I'll pass on the advice. (walks past him) Do me a favor will you, shut the door and lock it on your way out?
Zander: Sure
Lucky: Thanks, see ya
Zander: You bet, later (Lucky leaves and Zander hits his forehead with the palm of his hand, talking to himself) Stupid! You're stupid! He was right there! I should've told him...Hell, he should know! Stupid! (turns the light off, locks the door, walks out and closes the door behind him) You're stupid, Zander...
~~The next day Lucky and Gia are at Kelly's discussing any ole thing~~
Lucky: So Zander wanted me to tell you something...
Gia: (looks up) What's that?
Lucky: You should try to get a job at Jax Cosmetics
Gia: Yeah? Carly told me to tell you to try fora job there...
Lucky: Weird... when was this?
Gia: After I left, I ran into her in the middle of Jake's
Lucky: Yeah, that was around the time Zander came in there, just after you left
Gia: Hmmm... oh well (takes a bite of her granola bar, which she found with no trouble at all) I won't lose sleep over it
Lucky: Yeah, me neither. (eats a fry) So here's what I'm thinking for the next shoot...
(Gia puts her magazine away, she was only half reading it anyway) we switch things around
Gia: What do you mean?
Lucky: We put you in a white dress and make the background more exotic, ya know?
Gia: Yeah, I think so, but--
Maxie: (walks over to their table) Excuse me (to Lucky) Lucky I just wanted to remind you of something
Lucky: (looks at her, half smiling) What's that?
Maxie: I'm legal now. (Gia chokes on her granola bar) (to Gia) You all right? (Lucky starts laughing)
Gia: (cough) Yeah (cough) never been better...(one big cough, and clears her throat) Ahh, see...I'm good to go...maybe I'll have a drink or something, would you like to join me?
Lucky: (laughing) I don't think thats what she was talking about
Gia: (gives him a look like "no $h*t sherlock") Oh, well then, (unsure) Maxie, what were you talking about? (smiles)
Maxie: (glares at her, then smiles at Lucky) As long as Lucky knows, I see no need for you to know (Lucky looks pleadingly at Gia)
Gia: (sees the look and decides to help her friend out) Oh, but it is my concern
Maxie: (turns around and looks at her) Why?
Gia: Well....because (thinking)...because Lucky and I are dating.
Maxie: (turns to Lucky, skeptically) You are?
Lucky: (grabs Gia's hand) Yeah.
Maxie: Since when?
Lucky: Umm...about a month now (looks at Gia for confirmation and she nods) Yeah, a month.
Gia: Sorry, sweetie
Maxie: Go to hell (Lucky and Gia are both shocked by the comment, but still have trouble containing their laughter) (Maxie leaves)
Gia: Well, that was fun (laughs a bit more)
Lucky: (drops her hand) Yeah, it was (laughs too) But thanks for the save. (smiles)
Gia: It was nothing, I guess you're just a chick magnet (smiles)
Lucky: We have Luke to thank for that
Gia: (laughs) Yeah we do!
Lucky: But you almost gave us away when you choked on your granola bar
Gia: (laughs) Who wouldn't choke?? God, I wanted to start rolling on the floor, dying of laughter!
Lucky: (laughs) It was hard stifling mine, but at least I didn't choke on my food
Gia: You weren't eating anything!
Lucky: That's besides the point!
Gia: Riiiiiiight.
Lucky: Can we just get out of here please? Before she comes back?
Gia: And where are we going?
Lucky: To your place (she looks at him) to put your furniture where (mockingly) the vibe of the room won't be disturbed
Gia: (hits him in the chest) Oh shut up!
Lucky: Let's go (she grabs her purse, and coat and bites down on her granola bar so she can put her coat on) Cute.
Gia: (rolls eyes, speaking over the 5 inch granola bar in her mouth) Hey, a woman's gotta do (she takes the bar out of her mouth) what a woman's gotta do.
Lucky: That's good to know (they leave)
~~Stepping off the elevator~~
Gia: I still can't believe she just walked up to you and said "Hey, I'm legal"
Lucky: (laughs) Yeah, I know, it's like she thought I was gonna ditch you and give her a tour of my room
Gia: (laughs) Then I really would've died laughing (pulls out keys, unlocks the door and steps inside) Oh hell no.
Lucky: What is it? (steps in and looks around) Oh God.
