Megan-Beverly Hills. Home of the stars. That’s where I am but I’m not a star, neither are my parents whose house it really is. But I dream to be one.

Megan-Yeah, I got ambitions and soon they won’t just be ambitions…Soon they will be real.

Flash back to Megans past. Her sister Alexis (Alex) is shown as a teenager and Megan as a child.

Megan-This is my old sister, Alexis or Alex.

Megan-She works at a magazine in Brooklyn New York as assistant to the assistant to the assistant to the creative director. I’m planning on flying out to Brooklyn tomorrow to see her. I haven’t seen her in two years.

Torie, Megan’s mother, walks into living room.

Torie: Megan shouldn’t you be packing?

Megan: No, I should be enjoying TV while I can.

Torie: They have cable in Brooklyn, Megan.

Megan: But, the plane ride won’t so I’m just getting a few hours.

Torie *Rolls eyes

Torie: Be packed by six tonight, k?

Megan: Got it.

Phone rings after Torie steps out of the room.

Megan: Megan, who is this?

Phone: Hey, Megan it’s Sierra.

Megan: I don’t know any Sierra?

Sierra: Oh, I know you sister, Alexis. I’m her friends daughter. She said you were coming to Brooklyn this week.

Megan: Yeah, hey. Okay, so what’s up?

Sierra: Nothing, my mom told me to call you and said that we were gonna be best friends.
