[Miss. Mocha]

Miss. Mocha walks in slowly. She is by herself. She's not new in GC, but she usually keeps to herself, so she doesn't know that many people. She was surprised to even receive an invitation to CT4's party. She didn't know that CT4 knew who she was.


She goes to find CT4. CT4 is throwing back drinks, some guy is making a really long speech.


Miss. Mocha: "CT4, I just wanted to thank you for inviting me to your party."

CT4: "Oh, no problem. You're Miss. Cafe au lait, right?"

Miss. Mocha: (sighing) "Miss. Mocha".

CT4: (taking a huge slup) "Oh, my bad. It's cool to meet you Miss. Mocha."

Miss. Mocha: "See you around."



Miss. Mocha does a lap around the whole ballroom. She tries to see if she recognizes anybody. She sees somebody she knows. She doesn't know whether to approach the young lady or not. The last time they talked, they realized that they were both trying to date the same man, Nas. He had surprised them both by kicking them to the curb, and getting with Kelis.

Miss. Mocha takes a deep breath. "Hey, Redefined Diva."

"Hey, Miss. Mocha. Long time no see. You still working up at General Hospital?" asked Redefined Diva.

Miss. Mocha shakes her head. "Girl, you know the fire bruned down the Viagra Unit. I'll have to wait until they rebuild it, or work in the Urinary Tract Infection Lab."

"It's like that sometimes." Redefined commiserates.

"Are you still messing with Nas?" Miss. Mocha asked.

Redefined shakes her head. "Naw girl. He always liked you more, anyway. I can take a hint. I have a new man." She pauses. "There he is now. See ya."

Miss. Mocha watches her walk away.

"I gotta get a life." She thinks. "There always seems to be so many interesting things happening in GC, and I'm not involved with any of them. I have to change that. Maybe I can change that by hanging out with some of my co-workers, or maybe some of those people who live on AKA Ave or Delta Drive."
