I carried a cardboard box from my old suv and up a flight of steps. A book dropped out and i groaned tried kicking, failed miserably, then called, "Hey Amy! Can you pick this book up on your way up?" I heard her reply and entered through the door into our apartment in santa carla. It wasn't new, exactly clean and sterile, but it was all we could afford. Amy entered the apartment kicking the book with her. I rolled my eyes and picked it up, "Thanks" I said sarcastically with a smile.

I grinned and took a box into my room. I set it down atop the other boxes and sighed. I had a lot of unpacking to do. "Hey mia? How bout we save the unpacking for tomorrow. It almost dark. Maybe we can go get a job down on the boardwalk tonight." I offered, walking into the living room. The apartment was small. It had a small living room, a kitchen that could only really fit one person at a time and a bathroom that connected the bedrooms. It was small. But it was home. And soon, it would scream Amy and Mia. I couldnt wait to paint the disgustingly ugly walls.

"I wonder if we could get a job at the same place" I said thoughtfully. Amy shrugged, picked my keys up from the counter and tossed them to me. I caught them and smirked. We jumped in my black suv with dark blue interior and pushed in a tape, Greenday. ((greenday always finds a way)) We drove down and parked on the side of the street. After scavenging the vairious compartments in my car, we put a few quarters in the meter and headed to to the pier.

"I hope we do find a job. There's not exactly all that much to do here is there? Jobwise I mean." I said as we walked around. We came by a movie store and I motioned to it. "Wanna try our luck?" I asked, stopping. (of course greenday finds a way. they're our boys. so, are we gonna talk for eachother like in the other rps?)

I shrugged, "Couldnt hurt" and walked through a door. It was a small-ish shop with racks and racks of tapes; movies and music. There were also some magazines in the corner. I looked at Amy and walked up to the counter. I guy with blonde short hair looked up from his magazine, "What can i do for you?" He asked.

(you're not talking about any of the boys are you? cuz doesnt max own that shop?)
I smiled a little. "Me and my friend here are looking to get a job. Any chance there's an opening?" I asked, hopeful. He stared at me for a moment as if he were studying me then looked at Mia, studying her. He was silent for a while as if deciding whether or not he should hire us. "You aware the shop's only open at night?" He asked. (you decide if we end up working there.

(No, its not a boy, just the first description i could think of. maybe just some kid that works there for max)
I raised an eyebrow, "So?" Me and Amy exchanged glances. He looked around, through the window, then back at us. "I'm Stan...i'll get my boss" We nodded and he disapeared into a back room. Seconds later a taller man with brown wavy hair and glasses stepped towards us. He looked a bit like a nerd. Typical movie store owner... "Hello ladies, Im Max. I own this store." "Im Mia and this is my friend Amy" I said. He shook both our hands and continued. "I hear you two are looking for a job. Stan told you the store's only open at night, are you ok with that?" He asked looking very serious. "Yeah, we're fine with that" Amy said shrugging. I nodded. "Alright then. How bout we give it a shot...you can start tomorrow night 8 o'clock"

"Sweet." I said with a smile. After we filled out a bit of paper work, we walked out of the store and walked around the Boardwalk. "That was a lot simpler than I expected." I said and Mia nodded. "Now that we dont have to worry about getting a job anymore, wanna have some fun?" I chuckled. "Yeah, let's go spend our money on rides." I said, pointing at the coaster not too far from us.

We went on the coaster, which was amazingly fast, but my mind was on the way those two goones were acting in the movie store. Why were they so obsessed with the fact that we have to work at night? Are they afraid of the dark? I pondered this and wanted to ask Amy what she thought about it, but it looked like she was having to much fun playing games to care. I laughed and watched her try to get rings around glass bottles at on of the stands. "Haha!" she cried when she won a large stuffed dog. "good shot, maybe you can win me one next time, cause i've got an awful aim" I joked as we headed for a cotton candy stand.

I grinned. "Here. You can have this one. Think of it as a late birthday gift." I said handing it over. She grinned. "Thanks. Although, my birthday was a while ago." I shrugged. "I was broke then." She got some cotton candy and I got an ice cream cone. We walked along the boardwalk for a while , just watching people on the beach. "Wonder why that shop's only open at night." I said, looking up at our new movie store job as we passed it.

I shrugged, "I've been wondering that myself" "Is that why you've been so quiet?" She asked licking the side so the ice cream wouldn't drip. "Yeah, it's a bit weird...i think im gonna ask tomorrow" I said. "Whatever" she mummbled and i hit her. "Just kidding!" She laughed and i smiled shaking my head. I stuffed some pink cotton candy in my mouth, feeling better now that me talked about it. I wasn't so curious knowing she was thinking the same thing. "This place is real nice so far" I said watching the waves crash against the sand.

I nodded and sat on on of the railings. "Let's just sit and watch the water for a while." I said. "Sure." She hopped on the rail next to me. We sat like that for a while, eating with our backs to the boardwalk. "Looks like this is the thing to do around here. Come out here, I mean. Wonder if the rest of the town is any bit interesting." I said, licking the side of my cone as it dripped on my hand. We heard the motors of some bikes and turned around to see four boys parking there bikes against a building. There was a girl with them as well as a little boy.

((i thought we weren't putting them in the story))
We watched as the guys dismounted their bikes and walk down the boardwalk. I took an interest with the brunett one. I leaned towards Amy, "The brown haired ones pretty" I said in an overacted dreamy voice. She laughed and nodded to the blonde one, "He's prettier" I shook my head and whispered, "I dont understand you" We watched them walk down the board walk, they seemed to have some objective but none at the same time.

(what do you mean?)
"They're interesting. Probablely the most interesting we've seen. And that's saying something." I said with a smirk, motioning to some strange people that walked by us. Mia grinned. I finshed my ice cream and threw the trash in a nearby trash can. "What now?" I asked, turning to Mia.

((star and the boy))
I jumped down from the railing and looked around, "Don' know, wanna call it a night?" I asked. Amy shrugged. "Well, we still have some unpacking to do, and start work tomorrow night." I looked down at my watch, "And its past midnight" I said and waited for Anna's reply. She though about it for a minute and in that time i found myself staring at that beautiful brunett rocker who was slowly walking away from us.....'nice ass' i was thinking when Amy pulled me out of thought.
