Lexi
Lexi was working at her Melrose office. It was located in the back of the courtyard. She felt safe and satisfied now that John was in jail.
Just then Brenda walked in. "Hey there," she said and sat down in the chair in front of Lexi's desk. "I thought I'd drop by my rent."
Lexi smirked. "Two days late Bren!" she said. "It's okay," she said and took the check from her. She placed it in her file and closed it.
"So your back on your feet?", she asked with concern in her voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she said, "Where are you off to?"
Brenda smiled, "My first day of shooting for the show!!" she exclaimed and stood up. She checked her watch. "That reminds me, I'm late!"
"Well, good luck!"
"Thanks," she replied. She started to leave but then turned around and said, "Hey what are you doing tonight?"
"Nothing. . ." she went on looking through the pile on her desk.
"Maybe you would like to join me at the After Dark, ya know, two single ladies out on the prowl?" she asked half-jokingly.
Lexi laughed, "I'm afraid not. I'm not single anymore, Bren."
"Oh, well I'll see you there anyway?" she asked.
"Who's perfoming?" Lexi asked.
"Enrique Iglesias. It should be a good time."
Lexi smiled, "Okay you talked me into it. I'll see if Michael wants to come," she said giving Brenda the hint of who she was dating.
She smiled, "Okay, but I don't want to be a third wheel. . ." she insisted, and looked at her watch again. "See ya!"
Lexi laughed,"Bye."
Brenda Brenda pulled into her studio parking space, fully energized and ready to work. The week in the Virgin Islands had been fun but now she was ready to get started on shooting Class of Beverly Hills.
As she got out of her car, she saw her fellow castmate, Traci Locke pulling into her space. She and Traci had really bonded in the Virgin Islands. Brenda walked over to say hi.
Traci grinned,her smile lighting up her cocoa brown face. "Hey. Ready to get started?"
Brenda nodded. "I'm really excited," she told Traci. And then, honesty kicked in. "And really terrified," she admitted.
Traci laughed, " Good. That means your ego isn't too out of control."
Brenda laughed. " Seriously, though," Traci continued, " That's completely normal. This is my second series and I'm terrified too." Traci had played the middle daughter on The Love Family, a sitcom that had run two years. "I can imagine it must be even worse for a rookie like you."
"Shall we go be terrified together?" Brenda suggested lightly.
They both started walking to the Class of Beverly Hills set.
David At the Bungalow David woke up startled. What was he doing back in the bungalow?
"David ?" he heard Donna's voice mumble.
Suddenly, it all came back to him. He and Donna were back together, as they were meant to be. They had come home last night from their second try at a second honeymoon. And this time, not having a cast of thousands with them, it had worked beautifully.
"Hi." David smiled at Donna.
"Hi." Donna smiled back.
"So what do you want to do today?" David asked.
"Lie here with you," Donna told him. " But we really ought to get up. You have to get things in order at the After Dark and I should go relieve Gina at Now Wear This. The poor girl has had to look after the store all by herself with me gone and I'm sure she's climbing--"
Just then the phone rang. Donna picked it up.
"Hi, Gina," Donna said cheerfully.
That was David's cue to get up and get dressed. He knew the sisters were going to want to catch up in private.
Kelly At Melrose Place Kelly laid in bed while Brandon cooked her some breakfast. On Saturday's, she would usually make a nice, big breakfast for the both of them, but today she just wasn't up to it.
Brandon walked into the bedroom carrying a tray of food. On the tray were eggs, toast, a banana and juice.
Kelly smiled and sat up, "You really didn't have to do this, you know."
"I know," Brandon placed the tray on her lap,"but I wanted to. Go ahead, dig in."
Kelly took a bite of the buttered toast, ate about half of it, and placed it back down on the place. She picked up the fork and played around with the eggs a little.
"What's wrong?", Brandon asked, "I thought you loved scrambled eggs."
"I did. I do! Just, I don't know. I guess I'm full. And a little nauseous."
"Do you want me to get you some medicine or something?"
"No, it's okay. Thank you though," she smiled, "I think I'm going to go to the bathroom."
Donna "So," Gina said to Donna, " How was the honeymoon?"
" Wonderful," Donna responded happily, "It was so romantic."
"I don't care about that. I wanna hear the dirt! I wanna hear about all the wild orgies you two had in your hotel room!"
"I'm sure I don't know what you mean." Donna said in an extremely dignified voice. " We behaved like a perfect lady and a perfect gentleman."
Gina made a rude noise.
Donna giggled, "I'll tell you everything when I come in."
"You better," Gina threatened, "I'll see you there around 11."
Donna was still smiling as she hung up the phone. She really missed Gina. Who would've thought that a couple of years ago?
Kelly Kelly came out of the bathroom 10 minutes later. In the meanwhile, Brandon had gotten comfortable in the bed.
Brandon shut off the television, "Hey. What took you so long?" Brandon thought about what he just asked, "Uh, maybe I shouldn't have asked that. . ."
"I'm just really bloated. And I was on the scale. I gained 8 pounds in the last week. I don't know how."
"You look great to me."
Kelly smiled, "Thanks. I really needed to hear that," her smile soon faded, "Brandon, would you feel this for me?"
Brandon walked over to her. She opened her robe a drop so his hand could get in. She placed his hand over a part of her body in the abdominal area.
"Does this seem swollen to you? Maybe like a bump?"
"Sort of. . .does it hurt?"
Kelly nodded, "I have a little pain there." She closed her robe and led Brandon to the bed. He followed her lead and sat down next to her on the bed.
"I was thinking. . .maybe I'm pregnant." She waited for a reaction.
"I thought that was impossible since you had the. . .", he didn't want to say the word.
"Miscarriage?", she asked. Brandon nodded. "It's not impossible, just the odds are slim."
"Do you want me to call the doctor for you?", he offered.
"I'll do it."
He made another offer, "Can I go with you?"
"No. This is something I want to do alone."
Brenda Aaron Spelling was giving the cast of Class of Beverly Hills a pep talk before the first day's shooting began.
It's remarkable, Brenda thought. Aaron Spelling looked just like an ordinary little old man. But when he spoke, you could see the fire and the drive that made him the success he was, was still very much there.
I hope I'm that alive when I'm his age, Brenda thought.
"Assuming that all goes well, you won't be seeing me very often," Spelling said, " Class of Beverly Hills is going to be your creation. My job is to keep the pinheads in Network Market Research from screwing you up. I'll get more involved if you have problems but hopefully, you won't.
"Another thing I want to mention," he continued, "is that we have a big cast on this show. Nobody is going to be here every day. And nobody on this show is more important than anybody else. Hopefully, nobody will have a problem with that."
Brenda didn't. She'd never been 'Ego Girl' as an actress and she certainly didn't need to be in every scene. Just having something to do was enough for her.
"To add to that, I should tell all of you that we're trying some new streamlined production techniques on this show. This will mean we can shoot scenes a lot quicker and you won't have to spend 13 hours a day here. You'll all get to have lives and get paid well and even more importantly, I'll save a fortune in overtime! "
Everybody laughed.
"Finally, I just want to say that Class of Beverly Hills is a very important project to me. I've been in this business a long time and I think it's time I did something for the young people out there. I want this show to touch them. I want it to help them deal with their problems. I want it to be the kind of show I'd be proud to have my daughter act on!"
Wow, Brenda thought to herself, I didn't even know he had a daughter. I wonder what she's like.
Lexi At Melrose Place Carly woke up on the couch and looked over at Zach. They fell asleep watching a movie together. It was great, just like old times. She smiled and yawned. She stood up and went to the stove. She put the kettle on and picked up the phone. She dialed the Peach Pit.
"Peach Pit," Willie answered.
"Hey Willie, it's Carly. Can you tell Nat I'll be there in an hour and a half?" she replied.
"Sure honey," he said. "Gotta go, coffee crowd." He hung up the phone.
Carly hung up. She quickly hopped in the shower and proceeded to get dressed. She had an 8 hour shift today, so she needed to get going.
Valerie At a Rehab Center Valerie was sitting on her window seat that was on the wall across from her bed. She heard a knock on her door. She turned her head and looked. It was one of the people that worked in the rehab, "It's time for group therapy," he polietly said.
"I don't feel up to it right now," She said, turning and facing the window.
"Valerie, this will go much easier if you work with the program."
Valerie ingnored the man.
"If that's the way you want it, fine. I will just have to tell your counselor then," he said, closing the door behind him.
Valerie thought to herslef for a mintue and laughed, "Wow, he is going to tell on me. Watch out. Whoa, I'm scared now."
She didn't understand what the hell she was doing in this place. She was a hundred percent sure that she could handle her problem on her own.
Carly At the Peach Pit
Gina walked into the Peach Pit and saw Carly behind the counter. Gina took a seat in front of her. "Morning," she simply said. "Can I have a cup of coffee? With milk and sugar." She sighed. It was tiring working alone at Now Wear This, day after day.
"Sure," Carly said. She poured Gina a cup of coffee. She put in the sugar and a little bit of milk.
"Thanks," Gina said and took a sip of it.
There was a short silence before Carly said, "I'm starved. I think I may go on my break and see what Nat has back there that I can have." She walked toward the back but stopped at the door. She lifted her shirt a little and looked at her stomach. She didn't want to eat. . .but she was hungry. Just then, Nat came out of the back.
"Hey Carly, what do you want for breakfast ,sweetie pie?" he asked with the same warm smile he had towards the gang for years.
She smiled awkwardly. "I'll have some eggs, maybe some bacon, definitely sausage, and two pieces of toast." she answered. She decided she wanted to eat.
"Looks like you got a lot on your mind! Why don't you take what you want and go sit with Gina?"
"Thanks," she smiled. She went and selected a bunch of food and headed to a stool, a few away from Gina, to eat her breakfast. She didn't want to take a break with Gina. . .after everything she had done to ruin her fun at the bonfire.
"Wow, looks like your hungry," Gina replied looking at her plate of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and hash browns. A little too hungry, Gina thought.
Carly smirked. "Not that it's any of your business, but yeah I'm starved." She continued to eat and ignored Gina's comments.
Kelly Kelly was lying on the couch, covered with a blanket. She had called her gynecologist but couldn't get an appointment until 3 in the afternoon. She decided to rest until it was time for her to leave.
"Okay, I'm gonna head out," Brandon walked into the living room, tying his tie.
"Okeydokey."
"Are you sure you don't want me to stay? I can go to the party late or not even go at all."
"Go, I'll be fine. You owe it to Janet and Steve."
Brandon stopped fidgeting with his tie, "Kel, don't you think I owe it to you to go with you?"
"Brandon, we already discussed this. I'm going by myself and that's it. I'll call you afterwards."
Brandon sighed. He wasn't going to win this one.
"Well", he walked into the bedroom, grabbed his sports coat, and returned to the living room, "call me if you need anything. I have my cell."
"Okay."
Brandon walked over and kissed her forehead, "I love you, Kel."
"I love you too."
Carly Carly got up from the counter after she finished her food. "Excuse me," she said to Gina. She rushed into the bathroom. She didn't want to do this but she had to. She stuck her head in front of the toilet bowl and started to make herself throw up. She couldn't take it anymore. She hated her body and everything about her.
Lexi Lexi was still at the office making sure everything was up-to-date. Just then, Michael walked in with a large brown paper bag in his hand.
He gave her a kiss on the cheek and set it down on her desk after clearing a small spot. "I brought you an egg sandwich on rye with ham and bacon."
"Mmm. Thanks," she said and peeked in the bag. "What's all the rest of this stuff?"
Michael pretended to reason. "Well I had to get you a club sandwich for lunch, and then a megaburger because I wasn't sure which one you were in the mood for. Then I bought you coffee and tea to go with your lunch, and well I have a plain fried egg sandwich in there for myself."
"Is that it?" she replied sarcastically. "Michael, what the hell are you doing?" she said randomly.
"What?" he asked. He looked down and noticed a spot on the desk had coffee on it. "Oh," he replied and wiped it up with a napkin.
He sighed. "I guess I'm still a little afraid still...he tried to get you not once....not twice...three damn times!"
"Well now he's in jail, and probably for good when I get him in court," she shot back. He nodded agreeing with her. "Now get me my damn egg sandwich, pull up a chair and we can enjoy breakfast!" Michael laughed and did all of thee above.
Carly At the Peach Pit Carly walked out of the bathroom five minutes or so later. She started to get back to work, not feeling great, but thinking she was. Gina glanced at her.
"Where were you?"
"In the bathroom, as if its any of your business," she shot back. She grabbed a menu and brought it to table one. She smiled. "Here you go, can I take your order?"
A woman with red hair said, "One megaburger please."
She nodded. "Coming right up!" She walked over to the back to place the order.
"I know what's going on," Gina shouted. "I know the symptoms. You can't hide it." She grabbed her purse and walked out. Carly was about say something but stopped herself.
David At the Beat on the Street Brandon was already hard at work when David arrived at The Beat on the Street.
"Hey Brandon, what's up?" David asked.
"Young Silver has returned from the second honeymoon," Brandon happily spun around in his chair," So, how'd it go, man?"
