Rent AU of BMC! I have been obsessing over Rent the last few weeks, ever since Rent Live! came out! I did have a Dream cast, but I did like the cast that was in it.

Christine started the camera, focusing on Chloe, who was trying to tune her guitar.

"December 24th, 9pm, Eastern Standard Time. From here on in, I shoot without a script. See if anything comes from it." Under her breath, Christine said, "Instead of my old shit."

Chloe stuck her tongue, trying to get the right tune.

"First shot Chloe, tuning the fender guitar she hasn't played in a year!" Christine said.

"This won't tune," Chloe mumbled.

"So we hear," Christine laughed. "She's just coming back from half a year of withdrawal!"

"You talking to me?" Chloe asked.

"Not at all." Christine focused the camera on Chloe's face. "Are you ready? Hold that focus steady! Tell the folks at home what you're doing, Chloe."

"I'm writing one great song-" She was interrupted by the phone ringing.

"The phone rings..." Christine turned her camera towards the phone.

"Saved!" Chloe said under her breath.

"We screen. Zoom in on he answering machine." Christine zoomed in on the phone.

The machine beeped. A high pitched voice came from it. "That was a very loud beep. I don't even know if this is working, Christine, Christine, are you there? Are you screening your calls? It's mom. We wanted to call and say we love you. And we'll miss you tomorrow. Erik and the kids are here, send their love. Oh, I hope you like the hot plate. Just don't leave it on dear, when you leave the house, oh and Christine, we're sorry to hear that Jake dumped you, I say, 'C'est la vie'. So let him be a homosexual! There are other fishies in the sea. Love Mom!" Christine's mom said.

Tell the folks at home what you're doing, Chloe!" Christine put the camera back to Chloe's face.

"I'm writing one great song-" she was interrupted by the phone again.

"The phone rings!" Christine said.

"Yes!" Chloe pumped her fist in the air.

"We screen!" Christine said.

"Chestnuts roasting-" A voice sang.

"Jeremy!" Both girls said.

"I'm downstairs! Chloe picked up the phone? Now throw down the key. A wild night is now preordained." Jeremy paused as a group of people hanged up on him. "I may be detained..." the line went dead.

"What does he mean?" Christine asked. The phone rang again. "What do you mean, detained?"

"Ho, ho, ho!" Jenna Roland greeted.

"Jenna!" Both of them turned. "Shit!"

"Dudes, I'm on my way!"

"Great!" The girls made eye contact "Fuck!

"I need the rent!" Jenna said.

"What rent?" Christine asked.

"This past year's rent which I let slide."

"Let slide? You said we were 'Golden'!" Christine said.

"When you bought the building? When we were roommates? Remember, you lived here?" Chloe growled.

"How could I forget? You, me, Jeremy, and Jake. How is the drama Queen?

"He's performing tonight." Christine sighed.

"I know, still his production manager?" Jenna tried to change the conversation.

"Two days ago I was bumped..." Christine huffed.

"You still dating him?" Jenna asked.

"Last month I was dumped." Christine grimaced.

"Um...She's in love," Chloe said.

"He's got a new girl?" Jenna said.

"Well, no..."

"What's her name?" Jenna asked.

"Rich..." Both then said.

"Rent, my amigos, is due. Or I will have to evict you. Be there in a few." Jenna hung up.

Chloe played a tune on her guitar, trying to make something sound good. Chloe was cut off by a pop, and the apartment was filled with darkness.

"The power blows!" Christine yelled.

Can I say how much I love Rent?
