*The blank screen flickers to life*
Under the Union, Under the Sheets
*A soap opera from the mid of Sarah Jones*
*The theme song begins to play*
*After the screen fades to the Citadel Daily office, with Cristina sitting in at her desk typing while workers hustle back and forth with papers*
There's a knock at the door, and Cristina gets up from her desk, walking over, asking "Who is it?"
"It's Sarah." replies the person on the other side of the door. Cristina brightens, and uses her key to unlock the door. Sarah enters, and the two hug. After they stop hugging, Sarah asks "So how have you been?"
"Pretty good, how have you been doing?" responds Sarah.
Cristina sighs, and replies "Things have been tough, running a newspaper is a tough job."
"I'll bet." Says Sarah, looking around the room.
"Oh yeah, I never did have that talk with Jenifer, have you sen her?" Sarah asks.
Cristina looks sad and asks "Oh... you haven't heard." It's clear something is very wrong.
"Heard what?" asks Sarah, frowning. Cristina sighs before replying.
"Shes... Shes dead. Her train got derail on the way here." she says, looking at her feet. "I'm so sorry."
Sarah manages to choke out "But... She... I..." before bursting into tears.
Cristina puts her arms around Sarah and says "I'm so sorry." as Sarah cries into her shoulder. The Citadel workers have stopped what they were doing, and watch the two with sad looks on their faces.
"lets go someplace where we can talk. Lets go back to my apartment" Says Cristina.
Sarah slowly nods into her shoulder, and straightens, wiping her eyes.
*The two leave the Citadel Daily, and the screen fades to black*
*The screen fades from black to a standard citizen apartment, with a couch next to the kitchen counter, and a bed on the opposite side, next to the window*
The door to the apartment opens, and Cristina and Sarah walk into the apartment. Sarah has calmed down, and her eyes are no longer red. Cristina sits on the couch, and Sarah sits on the bed.
"Do you need anything?" asks Cristina, looking concerned.
"Nothing, I'm fine." Says Sarah, and looks around the room.
"Not much I know, but it works." Says Cristina, watching Sarah. Sarah nods.
"Oh yeah, I forgot something." Says Cristina, and digs in her pocket. She removes her hand from her pocket and tosses two keys on a ring to Sarah. Sarah catches them, and looks at them.
"What are these for?" she asks.
"One's for this apartment, and the other is for the Citadel Daily." Replies Cristina.
"We're... Gonna be roommates?" Sarah asks, a little puzzled.
"I don't see a problem with it, do you?" Cristina responds.
"But I'm... No, I guess not." says Sarah.
"Now we need to get your mind off of things." says Cristina. "Lets go for a walk, and head back to the Citadel Daily, I'll give you a tour."
Cristina stands, and Sarah says "Sure, anything to take my mind off... What happened."
Sarah stands, and they both walk out the door of Cristina's apartment.
*The screen once again fades to black*
*The screen fades from black to the Citadel Daily office, except this time, it's completely devoid of life*
Sarah and Cristina enter the Citadel Daily through the door, and Cristina kicks on the lights. Sarah looks around at the desks strewn with papers.
"Not the tidiest place huh?" Says Sarah.
Cristina chuckles, and says "I guess not, except for my desk." Cristina points at the one desk full of neatly stacked papers.
"Nice." says Sarah approvingly.
As Sarah and Cristina are looking at the office, behind them, the door opens, and a chiseled young man wheels in a cart of three boxes.
"Hey Cristina." says the newcomer.
Both girls spin to face him.
"Oh, hey James." Says Cristina.
"I got that shipment of paper you ordered." says James, wheeling the cart across the room. James stacks the three boxes of paper against the wall, and walks back to the girls.
"How much do I owe you?" Cristina asks James.
"It's on the house." replies James.
"No, I simply must pay you." Says Cristina, and fumbles in her pocket. Cristina pulls out a handful of tokens and presses them into James's hand. James pockets them.
"So who's your friend?" he asks.
"Oh, I'm Sarah." Says Sarah, and extends her hand.
James shakes her hand, and says "Nice to meet you Sarah."
"Well I better be going then." says James, and walks towards the door.
"Bye James." say Sarah and Cristina, as he walks to the door.
After James leaves, Sarah turns to Cristina.
"So how's life in City 18? Meet anyone?" Asks Sarah.
"Well..." Says Cristina.
"Come on, out with it." Says Sarah eagerly.
"Well I do have a boyfriend..."
"Who is it?" Sarah asks excitedly.
Cristina chuckles, and says "You just met him."
Sarah gets wide eyed.
Cristina nods, smirking.
*The screen fades to black*
*A message appears on screen*
