Circle of Chance

SCENE 1:
Sunday Morning, TA Salon.

[ Jeszyca, Karie, & Amber are
talking in the break room. ]

"I just came by to see how
things we're going."

JESZYCA: We're fine.  Lorenzo
doesn't have that many clients
coming in today.
KARIE: Okay.  If not, Sascha is
free and close now.

[ Karie walks toward the door. ]

AMBER: See ya Kare.

JESZYCA: Dyminic came in the
other day.  He's so random.  Even
had other customers rolling.
AMBER: Yeah, it can be a little
draining at times but I love him. 
JESZYCA: I'm happy for you Am.

AMBER: I saw that pic you posted
the other night with the blonde.
She your new girl?
JESZYCA: Not officially no.  She just 
moved to the states.  A friend 
of Renzo's.

[ Suddenly the door swings open hard. ]

JESZYCA: Speaking of her, hey.
AMBER: Well okay then. I'll let you 
two talk.  Hi.

[ She waves and exits as Sunshine
approaces Jeszyca. ]


SCENE 2:
Afternoon, Weis' apartment.

[ Weis starts knocking on
his bathroom door. ]

"Come in."

WEIS: You almost ready?

[ He sits down on the shower
edge while Stuu is fixing his
hair. ]

STUU: Yeah.  You didn't have
to knock weirdo,

[ Weis stands up next to him. ]

WEIS: Is that my gel?  Since when
do you give a crap about what
your hair looks like?
STUU: I don't.  Just trying out 
something different.  You like
it?

[ He places the tub in the 
drawer, turns & walks out.

Later inside Stuu's car, he
notices Weis' gaze on him
as he drives. ]

STUU: What's up? I know you
wanna say something.
WEIS: You're gonna keep your
cool around Landyn, right?
I mean, there was the whole
thing with Larrie at TA.
STUU: That was a misunder-
standing.  I apologized.  
And I'm use to your circle
of exes by now working
with Ski for so long.

WEIS: Hey, that's a little
different.  We're closer friends.
STUU: Not really.  If I'm not on
my best behavior, you can feel
free to spank me.  
WEIS: I'll hold you to that.

[ They laugh as Stuu pulls into
the parking lot. ]


SCENE 3:
Back inside the Break Room.

JESZYCA: I wasn't expecting to
see you until tonight.

[ Jeszyca gets closer but is stopped
by Sunshine. ]

SUNSHINE: This isn't a friendly visit.

[ She backs up, removing her scarf
slowly to reveal a blinding tone
to her hair. Jeszyca looks in awe. ]

SUNSHINE: If you haven't guessed, 
this wasn't what I was going for.

I asked for a more natural blonde.
JESZYCA: I'm sorry.  Lorenzo must
have gotten confused on the color.
He's still learning.
SUNSHINE: This is unacceptable.  I
have an important meeting and I
look like an old shrew.

JESZYCA: I'm sure Lorenzo can fix
this no problem.  I'll go let him
know.  
SUNSHINE: That's alright.  He 
doesn't seem able.  Listen, I like
you a lot.  Hope this doesn't
mess anything up but I'm filing
a complaint.


SCENE 4:
Inside Landyn's.

"So if someone could help
me get this bed frame out
to the truck."

STUU: I got it.

[ Stuu looks at Weis before
disappearing outside. ]

STUU: You're really smooth in
those TA ads.  How'd you get
so comfortable on camera?
LANDYN: I did a little modeling
when I was younger.  Shot
a few for a local store.  

[ They sit the furniture down &
head back inside. ]

WEIS: I'll get the chairs.

[ He whispers to Stuu but doesn't
notice Landyn watching in the
distance. ]

WEIS: See.  It's easy being nice.

[ Stuu pushes Weis as he walks
by.  Landyn looks away.  ]

STUU: Can I ask you a question?

[ He glances out the window
for Weis who is busy lifting
the chairs. ]


SCENE 5:
Meanwhile, at the Salon.

[ Jeszyca & Lorenzo are talking
near his station. ]

JESZYCA: Someone needs to work
on their coloring.

LORENZO: I knew she came in
here to complain.  That's all
she has done ever since me
and Madeline got together.
JESZYCA: Really, is she that
threatened?

LORENZO: Apparently.  I think
she wants to move out too.
I offered to fix it last night.

What else can I do?
JESZYCA: Maybe you should
try giving them their time.
Those girls have been
 through a lot.
LORENZO: That's true.  The last
thing I wanna do is get in the
middle of their friendship.

JESZYCA: Well then go.  Use your
charm in a positive way for once
and talk Sunshine out of that
write up.
LORENZO: Fine.  I'll do it for the
team.

[ He smirks at Jeszyca while head-
ing towards the back. ]


SCENE 6:
Outside of Landyn's.

[ Stuu is waiting in the car while
Weis talks to Landyn. ]

WEIS: Sure you don't need any
help at the condo?

LANDYN: Thanks but Kyle is meet-
ing me there.  We're having a guys
night after.
WEIS: That's cool.
LANDYN: Stuu seems like a nice,
normal guy.
WEIS: Yeah.  What's normal?
LANDYN: Nothing.  It's a good thing.
I'll have you over some time when
I get things settled.

[ Weis joins Stuu in the car. ]

WEIS: Let's go.  Weren't you saying
you wanted to lay down?  Or was
that just an excuse to get in my
bed?

[ Stuu stays silent. ]

WEIS: What's wrong?
STUU: I'm not so good at this dating
thing but since we're for real I
thought I should tell you.

Someone kissed me a little while
ago.  I put a stop to it though.  They
were just drunk, I'm sorry.
WEIS: It's fine.  No big deal.  

[ Weis catches his stare. ]

WEIS: Hey don't be afraid
to tell me anything.  I'll be
cool.
STUU: That's a huge relief 
then because it was Joh.


WEIS: Wait, what?

The Right Fit

Inside All Hours Fitness.

[ Kyle has a break in appointments

& is getting some time in on the

punching bag.  His pace increases

with every hit until his work mate

walks inside the room. ]

CO-WORKER: This is Sunshine.

She's new in town and wants to

talk about setting up a weekly

training schedule.

KYLE: Cool.  Thanks Brad.

[ The co-worker leaves &

Kyle looks over at Sunshine,

smiling.

Later on, they are talking. ]

KYLE: So you're telling me

you and your friend we're

pretty much kidnapped.

And where is this guy?

SUNSHINE: Last thing I

knew in jail.

[ She joins Kyle, sitting on

a bench. ]

KYLE: Great.  You're safe

then.  

SUNSHINE: Not at all.  He may

be caught now but he'll get

out soon enough and I wanna 

be prepared.

KYLE: For what?

SUNSHINE: To defend myself.

He's been doing this for a long

time and I'm gonna be the one

to finally end it.

[ She stands up, knocking the

bag away. ]

At LeeVigh's apartment.

[ Walking down to the basement,

he sees an unfamiliar person

sitting on the couch. ]

LEEVIGH: Uh, hello.

"Hey, I'm Zain.  I just started

at TA."

[ He holds out his hand &

LeeVigh shakes it. ]

LEEVIGH: Cool.  Nice to meet

you.

So what are the boys up to?

ZAIN: Joh's pulling a double.

And Weis & Stuu, no clue.

They left me in here a

couple hours ago.

LEEVIGH: Well, that's pretty

rude.  I'll get them.

[ LeeVigh heads for Weis' door. ]

ZAIN: You might not wanna do

that, man.

LEEVIGH: It's cool.  We pretty much

have an open door policy around

here.

[ He laughs while Zain shakes his head.

Opening the door, LeeVigh is startled

by what he sees. Weis jumps up, 

knocking Stuu over on the ground. ]

LEEVIGH: What are you two up to?

WEIS: Nothing.  

[ He sits up, getting dressed while

LeeVigh stares at them. ]

WEIS: Let's go practice.

Back at the Fitness Center.

KYLE: I know you didn't ask for

my opinion but this dude sounds

really dangerous.  Maybe you

should leave it alone.

SUNSHINE: I can't do that.  Even

though things turned out well

for me and my friend, he still

had no right to make our decision

for us.

KYLE: Yeah, I understand.  Just

be cautious.

SUNSHINE: Anyway a little less

talking, a lot more working

out please.

KYLE: Alright.  I'll show you my

session run through so you

can see what you're getting

into.  You ready?

[ They both stand up. ]

SUNSHINE: Yup.

KYLE: Okay.  I like to start off

with some basic stretching

techniques.  

[ Kyle spreads his legs, extending

his arms one at a time while Sun-

shine follows him. ]

KYLE: Feeling good?

After practice, Weis' room.

[ Everyone is gone except LeeVigh

& Weis. ]

LEEVIGH: So I walked in on you

 and Stuu in your boxers with him

on top of you.  That's not how

buds usually play around.

WEIS: Yeah, about that.  

[ Weis smirks at him. ]

WEIS: We're not just friends

anymore.  Obviously.

LEEVIGH: What? Last thing I

knew Stuu had an unrequited

crush on Tiesun.  Now he's 

into you?

WEIS: He's been into me for

awhile, we just haven't agreed

on certain things.

LEEVIGH: You mean, sex.

WEIS: Yes.

LEEVIGH: So what's changed

now?

WEIS: Nothing.  I have fun

with Stuu and he's a good

person.  It shouldn't matter

that he's asexual, you know.

LEEVIGH: Cool.  That's very

mature of you.

WEIS: Yeah I try.

LEEVIGH: I'm gonna go lay

down.  Later.

[ He exits & heads upstairs. ]

Later, at the Center.

[ Kyle is wrapping up his lesson. ]

KYLE: And that's pretty much it.

You exhausted yet?

[ Sunshine gets up, facing Kyle. ]

SUNSHINE: Nope.  I'm good.

Thanks for giving me this

free preview though.  

KYLE: No problem.  How's every

Tuesday at about 11 sound?

SUNSHINE: That will be perfect.

Well my rides here, I should

get going.  See you Kyle.

[ She leaves & Landyn enters

the room. ]

KYLE: Hey man, you're right on

time.

LANDYN: Who was that?

KYLE: My new client.

LANDYN: Interesting.

[ Landyn looks up at him. ]

KYLE: Yeah and don't give me

that look, I'm a happily married

man.

LANDYN: Glad to hear it.

[ Kyle takes off running &

Landyn follows him, sprinting

around the track.  ]

Inside LeeVigh's room.

[ He's laying in bed when

his phone rings. ]

LEEVIGH: Hey babe.

TESSA: Hey.  Have a good day

off?

LEEVIGH: It was alright.  Had practice

and just woke up from a little nap.

How was work?

TESSA: Pretty slow day. Nothing too

exciting.

LEEVIGH: You'll never guess what I

found out today.

TESSA: Oh yeah, what's that?

LEEVIGH: My band mates are 

dating each other.  

TESSA: You're kidding.  I didn't

even know Stuu was into guys.

LEEVIGH: Me either.

TESSA: Hopefully this doesn't

make practice too awkward for

you.

LEEVIGH: Thanks.  I never thought

of that.  

TESSA: Don't worry about it babe.

I'm sure Weis isn't any different

in a relationship.

[ LeeVigh sighs into the phone. ]
