The Next day Juan and Brenna were up at the crack of dawn. Not because
they had to be, but because they couldn’t sleep. Brenna took the bed
and Juan got the couch. They decided that throughout their stay they
would take turns with the bed. It was an unfamiliar place, so it was
kind of uncomfortable. They sat on the bed talking and planning out the
days activities.
“Well there’s not much we can do, right now. Everything’s closed.”
Juan told Brenna.
“Not everything!” Brenna said excitedly. “We need to go shopping.”
“Shopping? For what?”
“Uh, clothes, food, stuff necessary to survive this cruel and inhumane
world.”
“We work for food and we have clothes.”
“Juan, we have 2 outfits s piece. I guess if ya wanna wear the same
outfit day after day, that’s fine. But I am buying some new clothes.
You might as well let me buy you some too.” She informed him. He
eventually agreed and two were off.
They spent the next two hours exploring various department stores for
nice clothes in their price range. They each got two more tops and
some dress clothes, incase of formal invites.
“Well you two are up early.” Tammy said as the two walked into
Kelly’s. Brenna gave Juan her bag and h carried it upstairs.
“We needed to get some clothes.” Brenna told her.
“It’s not really smart to run-away and not bring extra clothes.” Tammy
told her.
“What makes you think we ran away?”
“Well why else would two siblings be asking to work for food and
board?”
“Well we really don’t need to work, we have money, we just have to
conserve it as best we can.”
“Oh I see. Well as long as you work hard, do your share and don’t cop
an attitude with me, you’re welcome to stay as long as you like.” Tammy
smirked.
“Thank you very much, Tammy.” Brenna said enthusiastically. “Are you
ready for us to began working?” She asked.
“Whenever you are.”

Juan worked in the kitchen while Brenna waited tables. She was actually
enjoying herself, as she chatted and flirted with various customers.
Liz Webber was chatting with a tall, dark and handsome young man while
she took his order.
"Well Lizzie, hon do introduce me to your boyfriend, here." Brenna
said coming up beside her. The young man blushed, as did Liz.
"This is my friend, Nikolas Cassadine." Lizzie said.
"Well hello Nikolas." Brenna said smiling. She looked up as a tall,
muscular man with blond hair walked through the door of Kelly's. "Mmm…I
sure like a piece of that. Damn." Lizzie and Nikolas exchanged looks.
"His name is Jason Morgan." Liz informed her, just before Brenna began
to walk towards him. Brenna straightened her tight black mini skirt and
adjusted her apron.
"Hello handsome" She said softly. Jason was positioned directly in
front of her, he looked straight ahead, and then slowly followed her
body from the waist up.
"Hi." He finally said.
"My name is Brenna and I'll be your waitress tonight." She paused.
"And possibly more, if I'm tipped properly." She grinned. Jason gave
her a 'say what?' look. "I'm kidding." She giggled. Jason laughed.
She had a nice laugh. Jason thought. A nice smile, and a nice…
Stop it. Jason told himself. Just stop it. She looks about the same
age as my baby sister. He told himself.
"How old are you?"
"Why?" She asked smiling.
"Just wondering."
"Almost 18." Almost 18!? Jason thought. She's still a baby. "And
you?"
"Old."
"How old?" She asked.
"Almost 30."
"No way." She said in disbelief. "Like 29?"
"28."
"Oh, well you're not that old." Jason smiled. "Well what can I get
you?" She finally asked. Jason gave her his order and she left to
fulfil it. When she returned with his food and bill, she made sure to
leave the number to her hotel room. She knew he wouldn't call, but it
didn't hurt to try.

Caroline Benson Quartermaine sat in the parlor of the Quartermaine
home. She flipped through various magazines and sighed with boredom.
"Hey Mon-" Emily Quartermaine began as she came into the room. "Oh,
Carly."
"Well thank you so much for the polite greeting." Carly hissed.
"You're quite welcome." Emily snapped.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Carly asked sincerely.
"Why?" Emily thought about it for a minute. "Because you're a little
b-" Emily stopped.
"A what?" Carly asked. She knew exactly what Emily was going to say.
"Look, you may have both my brothers and the rest of my family wrapped
around your little finger, but not me, okay?"
"Emily, I am just trying to be your friend."
"Well I have friends, thank you and I am in no need for another." Emily
told her quickly. "If you see Monica or Alan please tell them I went to
Luke's." Emily left the room and the house.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
"Hey Brenna, when does your shift end?" Lizzie asked as she wiped the
counter.
"Tammy said, Juan and I work the same shift as you, so whenever your
off, so are we." Brenna told her picking up the various containers as
Lizzie cleaned the place they had been.
"Well I am off in 10 minutes. A few friends of mine are getting
together at Luke's. You and Juan are welcome to join us."
"We wouldn’t want to intrude." Brenna told her.
"Oh it would be no problem. It's just Nikolas, our friend Emily and I."
"Well if your sure it'd be no problem."
"None at all. The more the merrier!" Lizzie smiled.
"All right then. I'll go tell Juan." Brenna went into the kitchen to
tell her so-called brother of their plans for tonight.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Emily met Nikolas at Luke's and joined him at his table.
"Hey!" Emily said.
"Hello." He said casually.
"Mmm, I am so hungry I just have to have some cheese fries." Emily told
him. "Want to share some?"
"No thank you. I just ate a few hours ago at Kelly's."
"Kay." Emily said as a waitress came over to their table. "Hey could
you get me some chili cheese fries and a Pepsi, please?" The waitress
nodded and turned to Nikolas.
"And you?"
"Um, just a Pepsi please." Nikolas waited for the waitress to leave
before saying anything else. "Did Elizabeth tell you about our guests?"
"Huh? Guests?"
"Yeah, she just met them and they work at Kelly's with her. Brenna and
Juan. She invited them to join us tonight."
"Cool. The more the merrier."
"You sound like Elizabeth." Nikolas laughed.
"Well speak of the devil." Emily said as Lizzie and two others entered
the club.
"Hey." Lizzie said as the three took a seat at the table. "This is
Brenna and her brother Juan." She said pointing to each of them. "And
Brenna you know Nikolas. And this is Emily Quartermaine." They all
greeted each other politely.
Throughout the evening they talked like they had all known each other
for years. They talked about family and friends, countries and food.
"These cheese fries are great." Brenna told them.
"Yep Luke's is known for them." Emily told her as a tall black headed
girl walked up to her.
"Hey Emily." She said softly. Juan and Brenna's eyes widened. The
woman looked almost exactly like Lily.
"Hey Hannah."
"Have you seen Jason?" She asked.
"Nope, I haven't."
"He was at Kelly's a few hours ago." Lizzie told her.
"Well Sonny said he was going to send Jason over to pick me up, and that
was 30 minutes ago." Juan's eyes widened. Sonny?
"Well maybe he's running late. Or maybe he got stopped by Carly."
Emily said rolling her eyes.
"Sorry I am late, Hann-" Jason Morgan began as he came over to the
table where she was standing. He stopped when he noticed Brenna.
"Hey Jason." Emily said smiling. "Oh, Jason, Hannah meet my new
friends, this is Juan and his sister…"
"Brenna. Yes I had he pleasure of meeting her earlier." Brenna locked
eyes with him, smiling. Juan noticed this. Looks like Brenna has a
crush.
"So are we ready?" Hannah asked.
"Yeah." Jason finally said. "Yeah Sonny is waiting for you."
"Bye Everyone, it was nice to meet you all." Hannah said smiling.
Everyone waved as Hannah and Jason left Luke's.
"What was that?" Juan asked. "Brenna?"
"Huh?" Brenna asked.
"You were staring at that guy like you wanted to rip his clothes off."
"And your point is?" Brenna laughed.
"That's my brother." Emily told her.
"Really?"
"Well, my adopted brother…well I was adopted…. Not him…well." Emily
stopped. "Never mind, our family is kinda screwed up." She laughed.
"Well you're brother is very cute." Brenna said. "And….Hannah spoke of
someone called Sonny. Who is that to Jason?"
"Sonny Corinthos. Jason works for him. Hannah is his girlfriend,
Sonny's not Jason's." Brenna looked at Juan.
"What does Sonny do?" Juan asked. Emily and Lizzie exchanged looks.
"Well no one really knows."
