As the Set Turns Series Index


Disclaimers: I don't own Eliza or Sarah. They own themselves. No harm is intended, and we all know *rolls her eyes* that they are NOT queer.

Comments: Just another bit of fluff for your collections. LOOK! Another semi-colon! Please, no fainting around the fic.

Dedication: To Sway and Wlfgrrl for their feedback hardback books. Finally to TheSpanner and ShadyKat who keep me insane. Thanks guys.

Marlboro Make the World Go Round

*Eliza turns up on set looking dishevelled & wearing sunglasses*

Alyson: Hi!

Eliza: *Mumbles something that resembles "Bite Me"*

Alyson: Not a morning person, huh? I used to be like that, but my YEARS as a regular on this show have trained me well.

Eliza: Look RED, either fetch me a coffee and a cigarette or fuck off.

Alyson: God, why are you so tetchy, Miss Leatherette?

*Sarah walks up looking equally tired, wearing not only sunglasses but a headscarf that makes her look like a 50's movie star*

Alyson: Morning!

Sarah: *Mumbles* whatever...

Alyson:*Moves closer to Sarah to try and hear what she's saying* What?

Sarah:*Reels in horror as Aly speaks right next to her ear* Don't damage the star or you're all out of a job!

*Amber walks up holding a tray of coffee's*

Amber: Morning you guys, I got us drinks!

*After Amber puts the drinks down Eliza throws her arms round her, hugging her tightly*

Eliza: If you EVER get sick of Red, you know where to find me, ok?

Sarah & Alyson: HEY!

Amber: I think that was my 'hey'... HEY!

Eliza: Ok, Xander, kiddies... so, you guys are officially dating then? *pushes her sunglasses down a bit to give Aly and Amber a wink*

Amber: Dating? NO! We... I mean I SO don't know what you're talking about. We're just friends!

Aly: Yeah, friends!

Sarah:*Catches onto the game that Eliza's playing* But the other day you called her your girlfriend, Aly?

*Amber and Aly exchange wide eyed looks*

Aly: No! So NO. You must've misunderstood. What I ACTUALLY said was; girl *long dramatic pause* friend.

Amber: I'm a girl.

Aly: And she's my friend! See how it works? Just sometimes I forget the pause.

Eliza:*Trying hard not to laugh* I can see why you beat the trained chimp and cardboard box at the audition for the part of 'Willow' now Aly.

Aly: I don't have to stand her and get insulted!

Sarah: True, you can stand over there *points at stunt pool they threw her in* and we can just shout over to you if you want?

*Amber pokes her tongue out and drags Aly off*


*Eliza and Sarah come back to some sort of life after having a cigarette and drinking their coffee, finally removing their sunglasses and giving each other a knowing look at to WHY they are in such a state*

Sarah:*Takes her head scarf off then looks in mirror of compact at her face* EEEK! Oh my god! *Shouts* MAKE UP!

*A young make up girl runs over and starts fussing over Sarah, applying lots of cover up*

Eliza:*Looks incredulous, then thinks* Make up! *shouts and waits but no-one comes* How come I don't get one of those slave girls?

*Sarah shoos the girl away as she's happy she's looking better*

Sarah: What's the name of the show? Does it have 'Faith' anywhere in the title? No, THAT'S why you don't get a slave girl but because I'm so nice I'll let you borrow her if you want. She gives the best massages!

Eliza: Oh, does she?

Sarah:*Panics* Um...No... I said she DOESN'T give the best massages! Listen next time Dushku, God! *acting very dramatic*

Eliza: First word JAIL second word BAIT. I like 'em young, but not so they can't come out after 7pm because they're making a card out of a cereal box for school.

Sarah: You're only 20, listen to yourself, 'I'm so worldly wise, everyone wants me... blah blah blah' You're lucky to have me, you know that don't you!

Eliza: I have you do I? *gently strokes Sarah's hand*

Sarah: *Starts to blush* Maybe...

Eliza: *Whispers in Sarah's ear* I know I GET to have you, but to actually HAVE you? I kinda like that thought.

Sarah: *Shivers as she begins to get seriously hot as Eliza's breath warms her neck* You know I'm yours.

Eliza: *Looks round to check they aren't being watched then plants a kiss on Sarah's lips* And you know I'm yours.

*Sarah and Eliza smile at each other for a moment*

Sarah: So whatcha doing tonight?

Eliza: Coming over to yours with a tub of 'cookies n cream'. You did so well in the car yesterday, I don't want you to get outta practice.

Sarah: Just looking out for my wellbeing?

Eliza: Course! We all have to make sacrifices. Mine is dripping ice-cream over my tanned and toned body. *Licks her lips*

*Sarah takes a long deep breath*

Runner: 20 Minutes to scene 3!

Eliza: 20 minutes? You wanna go and practice our lines?

Sarah: I already know...*smiles* Oh, "practice"... yes please!



*Eliza and Sarah head off quickly to the trailer to 'learn their lines'*
