Subject: Say You'll Walk the Distance *2*

2~~~

Noelle walked out into the hallway, closing her eyes, fighting back JC words. Even if they weren't cruel or harsh, she knew what their meaning was directed to. Noelle had worked with JC before when she was premiering on Broadway for the first time. He was rude and harsh, but at the same time molded her voice into what it was today. But for him to criticize her now overly annoyed her.

"Noelle are you alright?" Joey asked with concern apparent all over his face.

"Yeah Joey, I'm fine. I always am, I am an actress after all." She looked up at him with a small smile.

"If it will make you feel any better, I'll buy you some ice cream later."

"If everything could be cured from ice cream, you would be able to sing better than me and better than my friend Riley." She smiled bigger this time.

"See, I am a cure for everything." Joey said puffing out his chest.

"Yep, you might be right, but you forgot one thing. You're not able to cure your own conceit." Noelle laughed.

"What do you say you walk back in there and show him exactly how much talent you've got inside of you?" Joey said draping an arm around her shoulders.

"Oh alright Joey, I know that if I don't two things would happen."

"What's that?"

"One, you would never let me live it down and two, Riley just might kick my ass." Joey laughed at her.

"You're right and I don't even know Riley." Noelle smiled contemplatively. Her mind was scheming a little plan. Joey and Noelle went back on the stage to finish out the remainder of the rehearsal.

~~~

"Riley, come on now. I know you're just as much of a sex freak as I am." Justin said standing in the doorway to her room.

"Justin, has anyone ever told you that you are like a little brother? You're a pain in my ass! I'm not as freaky as you. If anything I'm more of a freak than you are." Riley said nonchalantly.

"So you admit it? You are a freak of nature! I knew it!" Justin was sounding triumphant.

"You need to remember one minor detail. When you wear pink g-strings, it's not sexy. Never do that again." Riley said grabbing a business accounting book. As she was walking to go through the doorway, Justin stopped her.

"When did you see my pink g-string on me?" Justin asked.

"Don't you remember the time when you were drunk off your ass and you stripped for Noelle, Mia, me and gave Chris a lap dance although he kept pushing your ass to the floor?" Riley said adjusting her books.

"Stop blushing Justin. You don't have to worry about me bringing it back up again." Riley starting walking to the stairs, but stopped and turned to face Justin again. "Unless, you give me reason to. You know what I mean and I don't play very nice." Riley turned and continued walking down the stairs and out the door to go to school.

Chris looked at her and looked at Justin who was standing in the hall thinking.

"What are you thinking about now?" Chris asked wondering what exactly happened up there.

"I think she's got it bad for me." Justin said smiling. Chris rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"When will you ever learn that some girls aren't into the whole stripper thing? Most normal people know that it's usually the other way around, guys like girls who are strippers. That's a male fantasy."

"Chris, don't you have a place to go?"

"Yeah, but maybe you should come with me?"

"Why should I go to an AA meeting?"

"Not to the AA meeting you moron, you need to go to Sex Addiction Anonymous." Chris said getting his briefcase.

"Think I can pick up any chicks?"

"Only if you want to Justin. Only if you want to." Chris and Justin left the house to go to their appropriate places.

~~~

"Mia, you have a phone call." One of the receptionists told her.

"Thanks," she said taking the phone. "Hello?"

"Mia, you have to help me with Riley." The voice on the other line said.

"Noelle? What's wrong with Riley? Don't tell me, she finally helped Justin with his 'problem'." Mia asked amused.

"Oh lord, I don't want to think about that, but no."

"Then what Noelle?"

"It's Joey, you know the guy I work with. I think he's a perfect match for her. He's totally into the whole kinky mix type thing." Noelle stated animatedly.

"How do you know this Noelle? Have you been sleeping around with the cast?"

"Nope, I have ears and I do overhear things."

"You're an eavesdropper." Mia laughed.

"Nope, I just know how to spy when I need to. I better go, but you will help me right?"

"Sure Noelle, I'll help you out."

As they hung up the phone Mia thought to herself about the idea of actually dating again. She hadn't had a real date since college after Riley and Noelle fixed her up with the 'hot tenor' in the ensemble. Caleb just didn't do it for her though, she wanted a man with mystery, one with charisma and one whom her family could get to know and accept.

Mia just shook the thoughts away from her mind. She had work to do and sitting around daydreaming of Prince Charming wasn't going to get any of it done.

'Only two more hours,' Mia thought taking the chart of another patient.

~~~

Riley sat in the business accounting class, almost bored stiff. Her head was propped up on her hand and she was scribbling down notes that her professor was writing on the board. She stopped writing for a moment when a piece of paper hit her arm.

'What the hell?' Riley thought grabbing the folded paper and opening it. It only had one word written on it�SMILE.

'Lance,' She smiled and rolled her eyes. She then scribbled down two words and tossed it back to him. She watched as Lance unfolded the note. He silently laughed at himself at what she wrote. She had written the words shut up.

Class was long and boring as usual, but it was after class that Riley found Lance and started talking.

"So, Lance I take it we've degraded ourselves to high school behavior. Is that how a sexy creature like yourself is supposed to act?" Riley laughed.

"Well, yeah. Unless you have some other way for me to act Miss Moralez." Lance looked at her waiting for some kind of witty answer to emerge from her.

"I was thinking that you could show your true fine ass self by wearing some of those sexy leather pants, considering you have the ass for them. But of course if you don't want to that's perfectly fine with me. I just know that you would look damn good in them. Almost, if not, god-like." Riley held his gaze until he looked away thinking about what she had told him.

"God-like? Grecian Adonis? Rock star quality?" Lance's eyes were lit like a little child on Christmas Day.

"Making eight-year-olds scream like they're having orgasms, American Pop Idol status fine." Lance laughed at her. She lit up a Virginia Slim.

"Where do you get this stuff?" He asked her taking a drink of his water.

"Out of the dark recesses of my mind, that should never be touched." Riley took a long drag off her cigarette enjoying herself.

"You know, you should stop smoking Riley."

"Yeah I know that, but I enjoy it." Riley took one look at Lance and his facial expression.

"Ok, ok, this will be my last pack." She put out the cigarette and grabbed her book.

"That's my girl. Now how about you tell me where you're going tonight so I can meet the girls you keep talking about?" Lance asked, more like begged.

"That my friend is for me to know and for you to find out if you can solve my riddle."

"You and games Riley." Lance looked a little annoyed, but Riley was his friend and so he put up with her antics.

"Think Latin with a little fire in the music." Riley smiled.

"Ah, Lava. Yes nice choice."

"You know the place well Lance?"

"It's only the best place to go. So I'll see you there right?"

"Only if you can find me."

"Alright Riley." They both started walking off to the entrance to leave for the day.

~~~

"Joey you are going to be there right?" Noelle asked confirming his plans.

"Yeah I said that I would be, now don't worry. Just be sure that you're dressed to impress me."

"Joey, I'm sorry but I would impress you if I wore the worst outfit possible."

"Nah Elle, you've got a body on you. You just don't show it off enough." Noelle laughed.

"Joey, I do show it off, just not for you." She smiled.

"I've really got to go talk to Senor Josh "butt monkey" Chasez." Noelle said not wanting to confront his anal-ness.

"Don't mind him too much Noelle."

"I usually don't, but it won't be my fault if I pull a Lorena Bobbitt on him."

"Ouch." Joey said covering his most prized possession, scrunching up his face. Noelle turned to walk in the adjoining room as Joey walked out the door to go back to his place to prepare for the evenings events.

"JC, I'm here." Noelle said looking at him blankly.

"Noelle, I�m sorry I was so hard on you today." He looked at her waiting for some kind of expression.

"Well, that's nice to know, but the thing is I'm not sorry for what I told you. You know, I've put up with you're bullshit for the past two years. I think it's time that you stop trying to make me into who you want me to be JC." Noelle said looking at him, apprehensive of what he was going to say back.

"Noelle, I never meant for you to think I wanted to change who you are to please me. You are an amazing singer, just like Riley. You have the talent that not many people have without the proper training. It just makes me crazy to know that you won't put forth all that you have into it." JC said sitting down on the piano bench.

"And it annoys me when you're constantly playing scales for me to sing over and over again. I think I hear them in my sleep. JC you're an amazing pianist and you know that you have every bit of potential to be playing in Carnegie Hall, but as for me, I have a limit to what I can and cannot do. You can't make a full voiced first alto into a first soprano with a million octaves." Noelle said sitting beside JC on the bench.

"Noelle I believe I've met my match in life." He said toying with the keys on the piano.

"Oh really? That's great! Who is she?" Noelle said giddy like a schoolgirl.

"You." He said looking at her.
