Chapter 1 - And it begins
With her long curly brown hair pulled back neatly, being held by a small clip, for once, Dani's face was visible to all. Her soft small but full lips are covered in a shiny layer of lip gloss, making her rub her lips together to keep from licking it or wiping it off. This wasn't the normal look for her at all and the way she sat, her shoulders slumped down inward and her dark brown eyes cast at the floor, her discomfort couldn't be more noticeable for everyone around her. She didn't mean to project her fears, Dani was never one though who could hide how she felt and right now she couldn't feel more out of place. Everyone around her dressed up, on cell phones, laughing and talking about their famous friends, waiting for their turn in with one of the musicians and here she is, tape recorder in hand, eyes cast down, her heals which were hurting her toes off and under her seat as her skirt lays on her, wrinkled and balled up a bit at the end because her hands would fiddle with it in her inpatients and nervousness.

"Mrs. Warren?" the young innocent blond with a clipboard who had been calling people in and out calls into the room. Dani's head slowly shoots up and she gives a little nod, reaching down and pulls her shoes out from under the chair, pushing them on her feet before she stands, brushing her skirt down with one hand as she walks out of the chattering hallway and follows the young blond. "Mr. Kutcher will be in a second, please take a moment to gather your thoughts because we'll really need to rush you through each interview."

Dani smiles politely, nodding her head slowly as she goes up to where the chairs were set up, her fingers tapping her tape recorder as she thinks of a country song in her head, the interview questions already having left hours ago when she met someone saying they were Justin Timberlakes stalker. "Mrs. Warren will their be anything you'll need?" Dani looks over at her as she takes a seat, seeing the girl opening the door.

"Just one," Dani says, already cursing herself for speaking. "My name, it's Miss Warren. But thank you and no, I'm set."
The young girl looks at her slight shocked, her mouth dropping for a second before she regains herself and nods, taking her exit, leaving the door open.

"Now that was brave of you," a voice says. Dani smiles slightly, the voice was low and sexy, the line was smooth  and the noise was coming from the other side of the room. She turns her head slowly, trying to get confident as her eyes lay upon him, opening a set of doors that were on the other side of the room. Slowly Dani rises to her feet, holding her hand out to him.

"Well I always try to be brave. Hello Mr. Kutcher, it's a pleasure to meet you, shall we begin?"

"YOU SAID THAT TO HER?" Shaunna's jaw hitting the ground only made Dani's blush grow as she brought her hands up, rubbing the over her face to cover her cheeks. "What were you thinking? AND HE HEARD? Oh this is just... DANI!"

"I didn't expect that to happen," Dani mumbles, peering over her fingers at her bewildered friend. It wasn't easy for Dani to shock Shaunna and while normally she took advantage of it, something inside of her burned with the desire to not.

"Dani... how did the rest of the interviews go?" Shaunna asks, picking her fork up off her plate, shaking her head slightly so that her blond thin hair moves from her lips. Her crystal blue eyes focus in on Dani still, watching slowly.

"Well," Dani begins as she pulls herself up in the hard metal seat, sitting up properly and also bringing her fork back to her hand, stabbing a couple cucumbers. "All of them were really sweet but Ashton had to be the best interview. Brittany was next and she didn't seem to pleased that I was the last female with Mr. Kutcher but I don't plan to write that in. The movie, you saw, cute but lacking more story especially in the relationship to marriage. And as for the young woman, she didn't speak to me for the rest of the showcase. "

"Ahh sucks for her," Shaunna giggles, finding an onion in her salad and brings it to her lips, taking a bite only to see Dani scrunch her nose in disgust.

"No sucks for me, I have to talk to you for the rest of this meal and you'll have onion breath," she states, bringing  her cucumbers up and takes a bite as Shaunna's foot taps against Dani's calf.

-days later-
Dani and Shaunna sat on the couch in their pajamas, both having their laptops on their legs, cell phones on the coffee table and MTV playing on the tv with the remote by their side to switch to VH1 and BET at any moment. This is what they would call a typical night, working while enjoying life.

"How is your article coming along?" Shaunna asks as she fights with her internet cord which had some how curled up together, giving her less slack over the couch, making her annoyed. Dani glances up, her glasses slipping down the bridge of her nose as she smiles slightly.

"Article? I was playing solitaire," She teases, only to see Shaunna glare at her a bit, making her giggle.

"har-har, laugh ALL you want," Shaunna grumbles before grinning as the cord unravels, giving her full control. "YES!"
Dani rolls her eyes, smirking some before a song comes on the TV, catching her attention. Her brown eyes look over to find a somewhat handsome man with guitar strapped around him singing into an small auitorium of people. She knew the song, the radio had been playing it a lot lately but who he was couldn't be more of a mystery.

"John Mayer," Shaunna says, her eyes moving to where Dani's were. "Bachelor, singer, song writer, entertainer. Handsome but sarcastic. The next Dave Matthews."

Dani quarks an eyebrow, her head turning to Shaunna. "Say's who? Dave Matthews is one of the most inventive minds of our times. How is this guy talking about high school going to be the next him?"

Shaunna laughs, and turns her computer around, showing off a article she found online about him. Dani's eyes didn't look at the article though, more at the toolbar at the bottom which was litered with sites all about this man she hadn't heard of really.

"Explain or I scream..."

"Oh don't you dare. He is your next assignment and I am looking for a good layout because he is a huge seller."
