Renee

It had been a long stressful year for her. She was going to take a long vacation trip to one of the big cities of New York. She was having a hard time staying at home alone, just remembering all of her good memories with her ex boyfriend. She had fallen so hard for him. All that turned out of the relationship was a broken heart.

She had lots of family who lived back in New York. She thought if she took a long vacation from this place, that it would be better for her. It was Saturday night, and she was deciding when she wanted to leave. She wanted to leave soon.

It was now Monday, and she had most of the things she was willing to take packed. She headed to the airport to set up time and day to leave. She would be leaving Wednesday to head to her hometown, New York. Tuesday morning she woke up and finished packing. After she got everything packed, she went and picked up the house a little.

Wednesday morning and she headed to the airport. When she got to the airport, her flight had been delayed for about an hour and fifteen minutes. She thought of leaving and going to get something to eat, but she just stayed at the airport and thought she would eat on the airplane.

Forty-five minutes later as she woke up from her nap. It was time to get everyone on the airplane and their stuff packed on the shelves. When she got onto the airplane, she got into her seat and just sat there. The airplane slowly took off. As she woke up from her long ride, she woke up with her head against the window. The view she saw was the over look of New York. She had now made it to her hometown of New York.

Renee Scenario II

Scenario Two
The plane had just landed, and as Renee was just waiting to go and see her family. As she was starting to walk down the long ramp, she realized that the weather was nice outside and it would be a good day to go and look around her home time “New York.”

Her rental car was there; as she got into it, her phone rang. It was her mother that she hadn’t seen for years. Mother asked, “How are you?

Renee replied, “I am doing good and you?” As Renee was almost in tears, trying not to cry. When she got off the phone with her mom she headed straight to her house. She had a little ways to go.

When she got there she got out of her car and got her stuff out of the truck. She said to herself “I’m home.” She then walked to the door. “Knock, knock, knock.” Renee then heard footsteps. The doorknob turned and then the door opened. It was her mother. Tears then ran down their cheeks.

Mother responded “I just talked to you on the phone.”

Renee replied, “I was on my way here and I was just wanting to surprise you all.”
Her mother then said, “Come in and put your things away.” No one is home right now but they will be home in a few minutes. As Renee was putting her things away she heard the front door open from upstairs. Then she heard her dad’s voice. She then finished putting her things away as her mother was downstairs trying not to ruin it. When she got her things put away she then started walking down stairs. Again tears started to run down her face as she ran to her dad and gave him a hug. As they sat down for a little while and talked, the phone then began to ring. Her mother answered it to hear the voice of Renee’s brother saying that they are back at the station and ready to come home.

When her mom hung up the phone Renee asked, “Where is April and Ehly?
Her mother replied that they left and went on a brother sister trip for the day. Her mother then asked, “Would you like to go with me and your father to pick them up from the Grand Central Station?”

Renee replied, “Yes I would love to.” They then both loaded up in her dad’s truck and headed to the Grand Central Station. When they got there, Renee got out as her parents drove off to find a parking spot. When she walked into the station, she looked over to her right to seeing her sister and brother. She then walked up to them and gave them both a big hug and said, “I’m home for good.” They both were so happy that they finally get to spend time with their older sister. So they stood there waiting on their parents to then walk in. When their parents walked in, they walked around for awhile so Renee could remember what her hometown New York was like.

Avery and Renee Scenario III

Their meeting was unexpected to say the least. Avery Farr and Renee Walters met at a Broadway audition. Avery had been auditioning and Renee had entered as the audition was progressing.
Renee had just been out shopping when she walked by an old theatre in Manhattan and heard someone singing from inside. She had spent all day walking around stores and crossing streets, she needed a break and a theater chair. Plus it would be nice to listen to someone sing. Renee pushed through the double doors and found a seat at the back of the theater.
The singing, a male voice, had stopped and all she heard was the sound of people murmuring and footsteps across the wooden planked stage. Renee focused her attention on the spotlight shining a yellow circle on the red curtains, waiting for the next person to appear.
Avery was nervous as she stood backstage, listening to the male singer on stage. She was next. Only a few more minutes and it was her turn to shine. She let out a long breath as the man came backstage after his audition was over. She pulled back the curtain a bit and peered out at the theater.
“NEXT!” A voice shouted from in front of the stage. Avery swallowed and pulled back the curtain as she stepped out onto the wooden planked stage. She gave her name and stated the name of her song and then began singing.
Renee watched as a dark-haired girl appeared onstage from behind the red velvet curtain. Her name was Avery Farr and she looked more nervous than anyone Renee had ever seen. Once Avery began to sing, Renee became lost in the sound of her voice. She was overwhelmed and shocked at how good this girl was. After Avery’s performance, Renee decided she was going to congratulate Avery. She left through the double doors and waited outside for Avery to appear.
Avery felt bubbly and excited. She had never sung that well before! Now happier than she had been in a long time, she gathered her things and left the theater.
Outside the theater there was a girl with many shopping bags leaning against a bus stop sign. Avery flashed a smile and the girl returned it and started walking over to her.
“Hey. You were amazing!” the girl shouted ecstatically.
“Thank you,” Avery chuckled.
“I’m Renee Walters by the way,” the girl introduced herself.
“I’m Avery Farr,” Avery said. She liked this quirky girl with too many shopping bags.
The two girls walked a few blocks, trading stories and talking about their interests. Renee invited Avery over to her house for dinner, which Avery gratefully accepted. The girls hailed a cab and rode chattering the whole way to Renee’s house. Once there, Avery was introduced to Renee’s family and they talked her into singing for them since Renee kept telling them how good of a singer she was.
After Avery left, Renee helped her mom with the dishes and headed up to bed. She brushed her teeth and changed into her pajamas. She crawled into bed and lay there smiling because of the new friend she had made.
Avery laughed the whole way back to her hotel. She had had the best day of her life. She had nailed her audition and had made a wonderful new friend in the process. Once she arrived at the hotel, she headed up to her room. She lay down in bed and thought about the day and Renee Walters, her new friend, and what tomorrow and days after would bring them.

Avery and Renee ---- Scenario IV

The year had flown by too swiftly for Avery Farr. For the first half of the year, she had been earning a steady income working at a diner and doing small Broadway productions. She had gotten an apartment in September with her friend Renee Walters, whom had attended every single one of her performances. It was now December 31st, New Year’s Eve.
She was sitting at the small square table in their tiny kitchen, looking out the window at the tall skyscrapers which looked like fingers grasping for the sky. She sipped coffee from a blue mug, feeling invigorated as the hot liquid raced down her throat. She needed the caffeine.
Renee walked into the small kitchen of the apartment, walking by Avery with a small, “Good Morning”, and went straight to pour herself a cup of coffee. She sat down across from Avery, hands, being warmed from the hot coffee inside her cup. She and Avery sat and discussed their plans for New Year’s while they both sipped coffee.
The air was crisp with winter chill when the two friends left their apartment. Renee was listening to Avery talk about a new musical she was going to be in, but she was distracted by the thought of spending New Year’s in New York.
New Year’s in New York was one of the reasons Renee left in the first place. She hated the hectic chaos it brought and the streets overflowing with drunken people. She preferred the quiet festivities of the small town she lived in a year ago. She remembered being able to see the entire vast darkness of the night sky and the fireworks lighting up the world in bursts of color.
“Earth to Renee.”
Avery had stepped in front of Renee and she had almost walked into her. Renee pushed her thoughts away. “Sorry about that. I was just thinking about some things.”
“Obviously,” Avery rolled her eyes sarcastically, “You didn’t hear a word I said did you?”
Renee blushed, “Sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
“That’s alright. Tonight is what’s important,” Avery said cheerfully, “It’s going to be so much fun!”

Night had fallen quickly once the girls had started shopping. They headed back to their apartment and got ready. Avery wearing a short black cocktail dress with a pink band around the waist with black strapped stilettos, and Renee wore a short black ruffle dress with silver cardigan over it and silver ballerina flats.
Avery left the apartment with Renee in tow, giddy about spending New Year’s in New York, while Renee felt the exact opposite. Avery had always watched the New Year’s show from Times Square on television, but now she would actually be witnessing it in person! She couldn’t hold in her excitement as she turned to wait for Renee to catch up with her. Avery noticed that Renee looked distracted and a little upset.
“What’s the matter Renee?” Avery asked her friend. Renee sighed and then began telling Avery about how she didn’t enjoy New Year’s in New York and how she missed the simplicity of the small town she moved from. The girls decided that they would go to Time’s Square and once an hour passed, if they weren’t having a good time that they would leave.
Once arriving at Times Square, Renee felt a small tinge of annoyance as she and Avery pushed their way through the crowd. She checked the time on the small wristwatch she wore and saw that it was 5 minutes until midnight. Renee looked at Avery and saw how excited she was. How could she feel this way when her friend was having such a good time? She should be just as excited as Avery because of the good that had happened during the year.
Avery lived off of energy from crowds. It was how she fueled her performances. But now this energy, unlike the applause from an audience, was a mixture of anticipation and the heat from hundreds of bodies pushing against one another as the New Year arrived. She had noticed an improvement in Renee’s mood once they found a place in the crowd. Renee was now laughing and joking around with her. The girls got their cameras out and started taking pictures of everything.
“Five….four….three….two……ONE!” The huge crystal ball dropped simultaneously with people all over the world shouting in the New Year. Avery and Renee both jumped up and down, shouting with the arrival of the New Year. The girls looked at each other, laughing and grateful to have each found a great friend during the year and to spend the next with.
