Office
"Hello." http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904040558/messaging/images/a/ac/Emoticon_laughing.png Mark put the phone directly next to his ear. "Hi I'm here for a magazine. I hear your magazine's are the best in the world." Mark was talking to himself, reanacting a scene as if someone was actually on the phone. "Yes, we do sell the best magazines in the whole world. And one costs $35.000" Mark was going to go on, until he realized that Natalya had been watching him for the past three minutes.

"Why didn't you say you were here!?!" Mark said, frightened. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035827/messaging/images/7/79/Emoticon_angry.png

"Because watching people making an idiot of themselves is something I adore." Natalya laughed. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/glee/images/b/bb/Emoticon-00140-rofl.gif

Mark frowned. "So, what are you doing so early?"

"I'm here to make our first magazine issue." Natalya winked at Mark, leaving him puzzled. "Then I'll probably go home and eat a pizza or 50 pieces of candy.

"My dad makes sweets, maybe I'll give you some." Mark shrugged his shoulders. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/glee/images/4/4f/Shrug-1-.gif

"I've tasted your dad's sweets and within 3 minutes of consuming them I threw up." Natalya also shrugged her shoulders, flicking her hair at the same time.

"My dad's sweets taste awesome." Mark quickly replied, sassing Natalya out with his head moving side from side and clicking his fingers in the process.

"Anyway," Natalya licked her lips." What's the magazine called??"

Mark blinked. He was trying to think of a suitable name on the spot.

"Mark maga..." Mark uttered. Natalya screamed with a firm 'no'. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/musicalworld/images/3/3d/AYKM.png

"Washington mag..." Natalya glared at Mark as he tried to stumble those lost letters into sentences and interrupted him there with another firm 'no'. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/musicalworld/images/3/3d/AYKM.png

They both sat there in the reception booth, thinking of a good name to call the magazine. They thought deep and hard but nothing came. To think, two intelligent, good looking and nice human beings, can't think of a name for a simple start-up magazine. http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035828/messaging/images/c/cd/Emoticon_confused.png

Coffee Shop
John walked into the shop, with a determined look on his face. He ambled to the counter where one of the waiters greeted him and took his order; three chocolate muffins and a decaff. He asked where Ellie was and the waiter went into the staff room. A minute later Ellie came into the shop and met John. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/0/07/Smiley-greet025.gif

"Hey there, how are you" Ellie grinned. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/glee/images/2/27/BlobPink.gif

"Listen. Yesterday when we were in the new magazine, you weren't holding hands with Tom, and you were acting all weird the rest of the time." John said with concern. "Is everything alright between you and him?"

"No its fine, everything's fine." Ellie said. "Did you want two chocolate muffins?" http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035827/messaging/images/3/31/Emoticon_happy.png

"Everything's not fine, I can tell by looking into your eyes." John replied back. "Did Tom do something to you? And no it's three chocolate muffins." http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/7/75/0w7w067w.png

"He rejected me." Ellie's voice dropped. "I told him I liked him and he says he'll think about it because it's hard to change from friends to a couple." http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904040557/messaging/images/b/b5/Emoticon_indifferent.png

John nodded. John shipped Tellie, and asked Ellie her favorite color. She answered purple, and gave him his order. John left, smiling to himself. He had a plan to get Tom and Ellie together. He was sure it was going to work, because never once had any of John's plans failed. While leaving, Ellie asked herself why she revealed all that information to John. She pondered for a minute and then forget about his motive.

Office
"Mark and Natalya magazine?" Mark suggested, his brain racked from thinking so hard. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/a/aa/Loolemoticon.png

"I wouldn't mind that." Natalya raised an eyebrow, while Mark nodded at her until she was a bit hypnotized. "How would the rest act about it?" http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/3/3d/Megustaemoticon.png

"They'd all probably quit."

MARK'SS PHONE BEEPS

"OooOoooOoo" Mark screamed. !The new word of the day is out on my dictionary app!! http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/f/fd/Fmemoticon.png

Natalya blinked. "Mark, only you would get excited about that." http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/f/f0/Facepalm.gif

"Remote." Mark said loudly. "Remote is the word of the day." http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/c/cf/Isawemoticon.png

"Is that it?" Natalya squinted her eyes, unimpressed. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/glee/images/e/ed/Emoticon-00114-dull.gif

"You can also randomize a word from the dictionary too!" Mark's smile spread so wide it looked like he had slept with a hanger in his mouth. Natalya roller her eyes then Mark suggested naming the magazine: 'remote magazine.' They both went to the kitchen and poured themselves a drink of 'fancy' lemonade. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/camphalfbloodroleplay/images/d/da/Put_your_fingers_in_the_air_by_Droneguard.gif

Mark and Natalya were spending a lot of time together, one time Phoenix called them a couple. They both cringed at the idea of that, but would it be a bad idea? Mark and Natalya a couple. They both liked the same things and their parents were both rich. They both toasted to themselves, and as soon as the drink touched the tip of the tongue they spat it out. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/a/a5/0262803.png

"This tastes like bleach!" Natalya threw the glass on the floor. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035827/messaging/images/7/79/Emoticon_angry.png

"I'm never drinking lemonade again!" Mark was disgusted, and he took Natalya by the hand and left the kitchen to start writing the first issue of the magazine, doing their best to try and avoid using a name for the magazine. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/9/95/Emoticon-ninja.gif

Pizza Palace
John tapped on the window. He was expecting Tom to come so they could talk about Ellie. His phone let out a little song, which implied that he had got a text message. It was from Natalya to think of a name for the magazine, because they had run out of ideas. He texted back, and moments later she did it again, until Natalya insulted him and he put down the phone. It went like this:



Tom came into the shop and John went to greet him. They were going both going to the office. They got in John's car while John talked about Ellie.

"I've made my mind up. I've want to be with Ellie." Tom fastened his seatbelt. "I told her before that I needed to think about it, but I think she took it the wrong way." http://images.wikia.com/ofibty/images/8/80/Cool.gif

John sighed. "You cant just say it to her now. You have to do something special for her. Make it snow, buy a billboard and in big letters let it say: ' I LOVE YOU' or something like that." http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/9/9e/Puh.png

"I have the perfect idea, hopefully it would work." Tom's face lit up. "I just need your help though." http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904041806/messaging/images/c/c2/Emoticon_pacmen.png

"Anything."

"It involves fireworks, candles and matches." Tom's smile broadened. John was worried by it all as Tom's smile turned into a devilish grin and he used matches and fireworks in the same sentence. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/glee/images/4/4a/Emoticon-00130-devil.gif He started the car, and bit his lip. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/b/bb/Smiley-shocked032.gif

Office
Phoenix came in, with eight shopping bags. "I'm sorry I wasn't here today. There was a 99% sale at Barney's. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/camphalfbloodroleplay/images/3/30/Squee.gif

Mark frowned. "Why do you have a band aid on your nose, your arm and on top of your eyebrow?"

"Some bitch tried to cut in front of me. There was three purple-pink dresses left which meant I had to fight for it." http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904041807/messaging/images/4/40/Emoticon_no.png

Natalya burst into the room. "Isit the #NO1 top dress in NYC?" http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035827/messaging/images/7/79/Emoticon_angry.png

"Yes, and I got it 99% off!" She said excited, jumping up and down. "I got one for you too!" http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/a/aa/Smiley-excited001.gif Natalya joined in the jumping. Mark stood there, watching the girls jump. Feeling left out, Mark joined in with all the jumping.

"So did you do all the parts of the magazine?" Phoenix asked.

"Yeah" Natalya and Mark both said at the same time. "Can you think of the name of our magazine?"

"Phoenix magazine." http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/musicalworld/images/3/3d/AYKM.png "Belair magazine." http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/musicalworld/images/3/3d/AYKM.png

Ellie came in and greeted everyone. "Did you guys find a name for our magazine?"

"No, unfortunately. But I have a good idea to find one." Mark suggested. "Download the dictionary app, and go to randomize word. If we get the same word then that would be the name of the magazine OK?" http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120403033733/camphalfbloodroleplay/images/a/a7/Happybounce.gif

The idea was rubbish but no-one else had pitched so they were forced to agree. They went on their phones and downloaded the app, it took a while since it had a lot of MB and was taking lots of space in the phone memory but after all that they were all on the same page.

"Ready?" Mark counted. "3,2,1." http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/9/90/976967.png

They all got the word pencil. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/b/b3/Straightfaceemoticion.png

"Pencil magazine anyone?" http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/f/f0/Facepalm.gif Ok let's try again.

This lasted for a while, until John and Tom came in. Phoenix gave them instructions to download the app, but to the girls' surprise, they had already downloaded the app. They all tried again, and again and again. Some got the same, some got other words and after an hour they were still going on. Everyone was tired and their batteries were almost low. They all insisted that they should give up and think of something else. Mark persevered until they finally got one word: famous.

"Famous magazine?" John mused. http://images.wikia.com/ofibty/images/4/49/Tongue_out.gif

"Fame magazine." Natalya added. http://images.wikia.com/ofibty/images/6/67/Thinking.gif

"Not Fame magazine." Ellie winked. "FAME Magazine." http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904041913/messaging/images/8/87/Emoticon_wink.png

The company's name was born, and everybody was happy.

"OK, Me and Natalya and Mark will go and edit the magazine and try and sell it to corner shops and major shops. You three do something. John can we drive your car?"

"Anywhere but not in a tree." John threw the keys to her. It took Natalya and Mark a while to get the joke. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/8/8c/Whistleemoticon2.png

"So that just leaves us three. John said.

"Ellie can I talk with you for a minute?" Tom whispered to Ellie. She agreed and he took her by the hand and lead her upstairs. He winked at John. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904041913/messaging/images/8/87/Emoticon_wink.png

"So regarding what you said yesterday." Tom smiled.

"Have you given it any thought?" Ellie's smile was faint but her heart was pounding.

"I have, and I think that..." Tom continued.

A cracker popped.

"What was that?" Ellie was frightened, which didn't help because she was already nervous with Tom situation.

"I want to be with you." Tom grinned, and they hugged. It was the birth of Tellie. They stared into each others' eyes and looked relieved. They then shared an ever-longing kiss. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/glee/images/c/cc/Icon-kiss.gif

"Satisfyed?" Tom smiled. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035827/messaging/images/3/31/Emoticon_happy.png

"Very." http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904035827/messaging/images/3/31/Emoticon_happy.png

"Well you're about to be satisfied even more if you light a candle."

They went outside where John had set fireworks which were in a line, oddly placed. There was a rope connecting to one firework then leading to another and another until the end. Tom invited Ellie to light the candle and put it where the rope was, and to stand back. She did it and all three of them ran as if they were being chased by a murderer.

It light up and the fireworks shot up into the sky, with all three of them smiling gleefully. It finally reached the end and Ellie's surprise, all the fireworks had come to one to form the word 'Tellie'. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/2/24/Euorvision22.png http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ofibty/images/2/24/Euorvision22.png
