Chapter 1

‘So it was you?’ Natasha Mikkelsen shouted as her boyfriend of 3 years just confessed he had made Ashley Blackman pregnant.

‘Well…Uh, yeah’, he said as he got up. Natasha kept shouting all the rude words under the sun as her boyfriend left her apartment.

‘I hate you!’ she shouted at the door as she collapsed against it and cried. As she managed to get up, Natasha got up and picked up the phone.

‘9…2…9…1…0…4…0…4’, she said as she pressed the corresponding numbers. It rang until some one picked up.

(J): Hello?

(T): Jaimee?

(J): Tash, what happened?

(T): He got Ashley pregnant. He lied to me, he CHEATED!

(J): Tash, I’m coming over with the dump special, alright?

(T): Alright, can we make it cook crumble this time?

(J): Anything

Jaimee hung up and smiled as she grabbed her car keys and wallet and raced out the door. As she drove, Jaimee was trying to remember what was in the dump special as it had been awhile since either one of them had got dumped. Jaimee was happily going steady with her friend Ashley Blackman’s Brother, Troy Blackman. Pulling up out the front of Woolworths, Jaimee got out and raced it.

Cookie Crumble: Check

Fizzy Drinks: Check

Loads of Chocolate Bars: Check

2 bottles of Jack Daniels: Check.

Paying for them, Jaimee raced out and jumped into her car. Racing away she left skid marks around the corner as her Midnight Black V8 Holden commodore zoomed away towards Tash’s inner City apartment.

‘Are you alright?’ Jaimee asked as she walked in and saw Tash on the couch watching Home Movies of her and Michael at the beach and in the City.

‘No!’ she cried as TV her and TV Michael kissed. Jaimee ran to the TV and turned it off.

‘No, no, no and more no’s. Remember what we always say?’ Jaimee asked as Tash half smiled half cried.

‘Never, ever, never, ever reminisce in the past’, the 2 chanted together. Tash got of the couch and hugged her friend. The 2 had been friends from kindergarten where Tash had dropped her 2 scoop ice-cream and Jaimee had given her one of her own scoops. Ever since then they’ve kept in contact and were now in there last year of College.

Jaimee walked her friend over the kitchen and handed her 1 of the tubs of ice-cream. Picking one up for her, Jaimee led Tash to the couch.

‘So how’d it happen?’ she asked as Tash swallowed a dollop of ice cream.

‘Well, I got a call from Ash saying she was pregnant by Michael. As soon as she told me I couldn’t think straight. She explained everything but I wasn’t listening. I didn’t care that she had slept with my boy friend; it was just that fact that Michael had even thought, let alone taken action about cheating. I hung up from ash and then he stepped in the door. I didn’t know whether I had to cry or laugh or greet like nothing happened so I just sat and ignored him. I finally cracked and started to yell at him about random things like his loud snoring and his smelly feet’, Jaimee cringed, she didn’t need to know that, ‘and then I cam right out and asked him, and he lied to me at first till I started pushing him and he fell over. He started to cry and so did I, I didn’t know what to say when he got up and told me the truth. I just pointed at the door and he left’, Tash finished as Jaimee smiled.

‘That’s great’, she said smiling wider and wider.

‘Me nearly cracking open Michaels skull is great?’ Tash asked extremely confused as she took another spoonful of her ice-cream.

‘No, not that’, Jaimee said putting down her ice-cream, ‘you’ve always asked me to move in with you, but I couldn’t because I didn’t like Michael, well now here’s a chance, I could move in now, I mean you said you always wanted me to’, Jaimee said now jumping with excitement. Tash thought about it for a little, and started to smile as she thought of the possibilities.

‘Are you thinking what I’m thinking B1?’ she asked holding Jaimee’s hands.

‘I think I am B2’, Jaimee answered smiling wider with every passing second. And they both ran out the door to Jaimee’s car.

‘Holy, bugger me bum this is heavy’, Tash shouted as she carried out a small silver metal box, ‘What’s in it?’ she yelled in question as she threw the box into the car just as Jaimee stepped out with a large cardboard box.

‘I got it from my sensei, when I got my black belt’, Jaimee answered, throwing the box into the car, making the car slouch under the weight of everything.

‘May I ask what it is?’ Tash asked she looked at Jaimee as they walked back inside.

‘I don’t know’, she answered as they searched for more boxes, ‘I was told to open it on my 17th’, she said as she picked up a box.

‘But you turn 17 in two weeks, what do you think it is?’ Tash asked as she picked up another heavy box and headed outside along side Jaimee.

‘I don’t know, knowing Murray, probably a heavy block of…no wait 2 heavy blocks of chocolate’, Jaimee said loudly as she threw the box she was holding onto the back seat. Tash laughed as she went inside. Not long after she came back out with a relieved smile.

‘Only one more box left’, she said as she placed the cardboard box she had onto the other side of the back seat. Jaimee smiled and went inside. She came out moments later mouth agape.

‘Holy shit’, she shouted as she started jumping around in circles.

‘What?’ Tash shouted as she ran towards her friend.

‘Troy broke up with me, but gave us 2 tickets to England’, Jaimee shouted again as she skipped back inside and ran around kissing the walls.

‘He what?’ Tash yelled as she ran after her.

‘He sold the building for3 and a half million. He bought us plane tickets and gave us the rest of the cash’, Jaimee shouted as she crashed onto the floor.

‘That’s all well and good, but you said he broke up with you’, Tash said looking sad.

‘Tash, I don’t care, I mean I miss him, but I have nearly 2,998,000 dollars in my hand, right here right now, in notes, Tash, that is better than crying and moping over someone who I already knew was going to brake up with me’, Jaimee shouted as Tash stood there utterly surprised.

‘He what?’ she kept saying as Jaimee shook her shoulders.

‘We…Have…over…2…million…to…spend…on…our…trip…in…England…which…we…go…on…TODAY’, Jaimee yelled as she pulled Tash out the door and into the car and drove off.

‘What’s happening?’ Tash said as she shook awake.

‘You’re on the plane with me to England. All your house belongings are in the plane as are mine. Your father sold your building and troy sold mine and now we have 6,000,000 dollars ($6 Million) to spend on house’s when we land in England’, Jaimee quickly reviewed as Tash said up and stretched, accidentally pressing the flight attendant button.

‘How may I help you miss?’ she said sweetly as if Tash was a child.

‘Oh, umm, Hey, I’d like a glass of Coke and, do you have cheese burgers?’ Tash asked as the flight attendants smile grew wider.

‘Yes we do, is that double the order?’ she asked as Jaimee nodded with a hungry look. Tash smiled and nodded as the flight attendant huffed away.

‘1st class is the best’, Jaimee said smiling while making her seat lean back.

‘I know’, Tash smiled as she also leaned back.

‘Here you are young misses’, the flight attendant said smiling as she placed the coke and burgers, even fries in front of them before walking off. Jaimee and Tash immediately leaned forward and began eating.

I hope you enjoyed your flight’ said a speaker to the side of the door as everybody stepped off the plane.

‘Where do we go now?’ Tash asked as they entered the hall.

‘I’d say over to that man who has our names on a piece of paper’, Jaimee said taking Tash’s hand and walking over to the old man holding the paper.

‘Hey, we’re Jaimee and Natasha’, Jaimee said pointing out who was who.

‘Well, hello, I am your Limo driver, Mr. Morgan’, the man said as he took Jaimee’s hand and brought them over to the luggage section. ‘This is Jack, Mark, Travis, Carl and James. There here to carry all your belongings to a storage cellar, that is until you find a house’, Mr. Morgan said as he indicated to who every body was. Jaimee and Tash smiled uncomfortably as all the guys looked at them like a piece of meat.

‘5 star, Troy really out did himself this time’, Jaimee shouted from the bathroom as Tash just stood gaping in the door way.

‘Totally’, Tash said finally waking from her reverie, running into one of the bedrooms and jumping on the queen sized bed with a canopy.

‘Now all we need is for the guys we Love to be in the adjoining bathrooms’, Jaimee shouted as she checked Tash’s bathroom. Eyes opening wide she slammed the door.

‘What?’ Tash asked as she opened the bathroom door and doing exactly what Jaimee did.

‘Have we checked your bathroom yet?’ Tash asked as Jaimee shook her head and they ran into Jaimee’s room. They both peeked into the bathroom and then closed the door lightly.

‘Is this really happening Tash?’ Jaimee asked as she slid down the door only to fall on her ass.

‘Let’s have another look and if they’re still there than it’s really happening’, Tash suggested as they opened the door to find him still there. Running into Tash’s room they took a peek and he was still there. They ran into the ‘Main Hall’ as they called it and started to panic.

‘What now, Tash, we have to famous guys having a bath in our bathrooms?’ Jaimee panicked before the situation hit her fully and then she smirked. There were the guys they liked soaking in the tub, probably waiting for them. Before giving Tash an answer Jaimee ran into her own bedroom and bathroom. Tash realizing what she was doing ran into her own bathroom.

(Tash James)

‘Um…What are you doing in my tub?’ Tash asked standing behind his head. All of a sudden bubbles were flying everywhere as James jumped out, grabbed a towel and wrapped it hastily around his waist.

‘Um…I should be asking you what you’re doing in my hotel room’, He said wiping the water and bubbles off of his face.

‘You asking me, my best friends ex Boyfriend bought us this room’, Tash said, hands on her hip and looking like she was going to kill some-one whether it was James Bourne or not.

‘Oh, so you’re Natasha Mikkelsen’, James pointed at her as he said her name.

‘Yes’, Tash said simply as she looked him from head to toe.

‘I’m James Bourne, Troy Blackman called me and told me that a fan wanted to spend the week with me’, James said reaching for his clothes.

‘Well, I guess that’s me’, Tash said holding in her excitement.

‘I guess so…but um…do you mind waiting in the bedroom, I kind of have to get dressed’, he answered as he indicated his clothes in his hands. Tash blushed, nodded and closed the door on her way out.

(Jaimee Tom)

‘Your in my tub’, Jaimee said as she closed the toilet lid and sat on it.

‘And your sitting on my toilet’, Tom said as he made sure the bubbles were covering him.

‘Fair enough, I’ll get off your toilet if you get out of my tub’, Jaimee said as she held out her hand. He took it.

‘Agreed’, he answered as he stepped out grabbed a towel and Jaimee got off the toilet and stood near the bath.

‘I’m Jaimee’, she said as they were standing there eyeing each other evilly.

‘I’m Tom’, he said smiling after awhile and holding out his hand. Jaimee took it with a smile.

‘So, what are you doing in ‘My’ hotel room?’ she asked as she headed for the door.

‘Um…I don’t know actually. I got told I had to meet some fan here, and I’m guessing that’s you?’ he added as he indicated to her.

‘Yeah, I guess I am’, Jaimee said finally stepping out of the bathroom with tom in tow.

(Tash)

‘I guess you already know who is in the other room?’ Tash said picking up her suitcase and putting it on the bed.

‘No, not exactly’, James answered as he stepped out, fully dressed, from the bathroom.

‘Oh, well, Tom Felton and…’ but she couldn’t finish.

‘Tom Felton, you mean the weird dude who plays Draco Malfoy in Harry potter?’ James said throwing his dirty clothes on top of his closed suitcase.

‘Yeah and…’ but yet again she couldn’t finish.

‘Better go say hello’, James said leaving the room faster than needed as Tash followed, mouth agape.

‘You’ve got to be kidding me’, Tom shouted throwing his arms around James.

‘Not that I know of’, James said letting go of Tom and turning to Jaimee, ‘And you are?’

‘Jaimee Mortimer’, Jaimee answered holding out her hand.

‘Pleasure’, James said happily taking her hand and shaking it as he smiled wider.

‘Oh, Tom, I’d like you to meet Tash…’ James started to say, but stopped as he turned to Tash, ‘…May we call you Tash?’

‘Yeah’, Tash answered as she stepped forward and shook Tom’s hand.

‘Hey Tash, meet Jaimee’, Tom introduced as Tash and Jaimee started to Laugh.

‘We already know each other, Tom, we’ve been friends since K’, Jaimee said patting him on the shoulder.

‘So what now?’ Tash asked scratching her neck.

‘Well, you Ladies could take…’ James started as he ran back into his room. Coming back out 5 minutes later he held out to very beautiful dresses, ‘…These, put them on and we could all go out for dinner’, James suggested as Jaimee looked at Tash who in turn who looked at her and nodded.

‘Ok, sure’, the girls said as they took a dress each and walked into Jaimee’s bathroom.

‘What do you think?’ Tash said swirling around in a light sky blue Dress. It was sparkly, figure hugging and it showed flesh in all the right places.

‘Excellent girl, absolutely wonderful, what about mine?’ Jaimee’s was almost the same except hers was midnight black.

‘Great Girl’ and they linked arms and walked out of the bathroom.

When they got out there, James and Tom were talking to the bell boys awfully cheerfully. One of the boys they were talking to nodded his head at us and the guys turned around. It was until then that the girls realised that the guys were wearing suits.

James was dressed in a white Suit and no tie, and Tom was dressed in a black suit with a white tie. It was the same Suit he wore to the Chamber of secrets premiere, but a couple of sizes bigger.

‘Not bad’, the 4 of them said at the same time as they walked up to their respected partners. They all began to laugh as they linked arms and left the room.

‘So where are we going again?’ Tash asked as she smiled at James sweetly.

‘You’ll see’, Tom answered as Jaimee smiled awkwardly at Tash.

‘Fair enough’, Jaimee answered as she wondered wether Tash was regretting putting this much trust into the guys.

‘Ok, open your eyes’, the guys whispered into there ears as they took their hands away.

‘Please tell me you’re joking?’ Jaimee whispered, to Tom as she gaped into the room.

‘Nope, not joking’, He whispered as Jaimee turned to Tash and smiled really wide as Tash started laughing and followed everybody in.

‘But, um, why did you bring us here, we aren’t part of the cast’, Tash said indicating to her, James and Jaimee.

‘You’ll see why in a minute’, Tom whispered in return as a man stepped up to the speaker.

‘Welcome back for the fourth Movie of Harry potters Saga. Now, I have some bad news and some good news. Bad news, Emma Watson has decided to follow her Tennis career and has stopped playing our lovely Hermione Granger, however, the good news is we have found someone new. Tom Felton our wonderful Draco Malfoy has suggested a good friend of his, and that is…Jaimee Mortimer’, Tash and Jaimee were whispering to each other during the speech but stopped suddenly.

‘What?!’ they both shouted as Jaimee looked over at Tom who was smiling and trying to Smirk at the same time. Finally realising the situation she was in, Jaimee walked slowly and nervously up to the desks at the front. She walked right around and sat between Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint who immediately congratulated her and gave her a hug.

‘Now, because we are on the 4th film we need proof that you’d be great at Hermione’, The man at the microphone said as Jaimee felt someone’s hands on her shoulders, ‘we would like you to say 4 quotes out of any of the movies’, the announcer said as Jaimee looked behind her, straight into the eyes of Emma Watson.

‘Jaimee…Jaimee…Jaimee…’ she began to chant as Jaimee looked down at Tash who was nodding her head so that it nearly fell off. Jaimee laughed at her friend and nodded as she stood up, which gave a cue of a thunderous cheering.

‘Ok, here we go, 1. Always was my favourite, ok 1. You Foul, Loathsome, evil little cockroach’, and she laughed again as did Tash, ‘2. Atleast everyone on the gryffindor didn’t have to buy their way in, they got in on pure talent’, and she laughed again as Emma cheered behind her, ‘3. Fear of a Name only increases fear of the thing itself’, and now everybody was chanting about 4, ‘and…4. “Mandrake”, or “Mantagora”, is used to bring those who have been petrified to their original state, however, the “Mandrakes” cry is fatal to anyone who hears it’, and they cheered non-stop for atleast a whole minute.

‘Looks like we have a winner, I’d like to personally welcome you aboard the Harry Potter crew, now for other matters…’ But Jaimee never heard what happened after she just kept smiling with Tash. Her, plain old Jane was going to be in a movie, and she was going to be famous.

(Tash)

...: It didn’t matter what happened up there, she would always look back at me and smile. Why? She was up there with 3 very famous teenagers and she always seemed to look back at me:… Tash thought.

(Jaimee)

…: she seems distant. Maybe I should bring her up the front, make her feel special. If only I could get out of this seat, but Emma’s pushing down on my shoulder:… Jaimee thought.
