Chloe smiled to herself as she made her way downstairs. Pressing the button for the elevator, she grinned excitedly. Janaye, Hayden's little sister, although only 15, was the coolest kid ever. It was always a treat to get to hang out with her�
"Cynda?" The girl smiled sweetly. "Hey, Mels." Melanie looked at her curiously. "Aren't you coming out with us tonight?" Cynda shook her head. "Oh, no, sweetie, I'm too exhausted tonight� I'd rather just stay here and kick my feet up�you know how it is." Melanie shrugged. "I guess, girl. You'll be ok by yourself?" Cynda grinned. "I'm not by myself. I have yummy Josh Hartnett to keep me company." She held up Pearl Harbor and smirked. "You have fun, you hear?" Melanie nodded, and waved goodbye.
Cynda waited until the door shut behind the other girl and smiled to herself. She popped the movie in the VCR and sat down on her bed. She glanced over at Chloe's laptop and she smiled evilly. Jumping onto Chloe's bed, she set it up, and chewed on her lip, excitedly. 'Chloe Maguire'll never know what hit her.' Cynda squealed to herself and started typing away.
"Chloe Maguire!!! Well, well! What a sight!! Marcy! Come look who we have here! Why it's Katie Couric, herself! Is that, right?" Chloe rolled her eyes. "Hi, Mr. Christensen." He laughed deeply, engulfing her into a big hug. "Come on in, hon. You're just in time for some dinner."
"Chloe!!!" Chloe grinned, as Janaye came flying down the stairs. "Hey you!" She hugged the younger girl and grinned. "You're getting so tall, and so pretty� the boys are gonna be after you!" Jett Christensen, coughed. "They better not be. Hayden and I'll hunt em down if they ever go near our girl! Bang! Bang!" Janaye crossed her arms. "Ignore him, Chloe. Come on, Mom wants to see you." Marcy grinned, as Chloe walked inside. "Oh, Chloe. You look absolutely stunning." Chloe grinned. "Thanks Mrs. Christensen." The older woman smiled. "Come on, sweetie. Dinner's ready."
"So, Chloe, Hayden tells us you've landed a job up at Jive Studios?" Chloe nodded. "I have. My friend Melanie sent in a writing sample, and Johnny Wright, manager of the band Nsync, hired me as their new journalist."
Marcy smiled. "Oh, Chloe, that's so exciting." Janaye nodded. "Yeah, especially since you get to work with 5 incredibly hot guys! How awesome is that!"
Jett rolled his eyes. "Janaye." Janaye grinned, and took a bite of her food. Marcy smiled, a hint of worry laced behind her words. "How's Hayden? Is he taking care of himself?" Chloe shook her head. "No." Marcy and Jett exchanged glances. Chloe smiled. "Most of the time, I take care of him." Jett laughed. "That sounds like our boy. Mooching off his best friend." Chloe laughed. "He's doing great� even more so, now that he's landed the Star Wars gig."
Marcy smiled. "He was so excited when he called us. We're so proud." Janaye grinned. "Yeah. Hayden rocks." Jett smiled. "Well, why don't you two girls go on upstairs and hang out, while we finish cleaning up? Chloe, Hayden has informed us that you need more culture. Why don't we go see the sights of Philadelphia a bit?" Chloe looked at Janaye and grinned. "That sounds like a great idea."
Cynda sighed and closed the laptop. She tucked it back away and smiled triumphantly. She heard noise in the hall and peered out to see the guys had come back from their night on the town. She grinned as she watched JC walk into his room. "JC Chasez, pretty soon the name Chloe Maguire will mean about as much as Kira Sandros."
"Thank you all so much for showing me the sights, and dinner. It's nice to see some friendly faces." She smiled and hugged Janaye. "I'll see you soon, kiddo. Hayden can't wait for you to come and stay with him." Janaye grinned. "I'm so excited. Bye Chloe." Marcy and Jett waved. "Bye Chloe. We'll see you later, hon. Be careful." Chloe nodded and waved.
Chloe smiled and sighed happily as she rode the elevator up to her floor. She yawned, as she unlocked her door. She saw Cynda and Melanie had fallen asleep, and she sighed, before opening her laptop. She had a huge article to write up for the guys and submit in a few days. Glancing at the clock, she groaned, and and shut it, before changing and crawling into bed for an early day of work.
