Prologue

Date: December 29th, 2004. 3:00AM

It is my first day writing in this diary my mother gave me for Christmas. She thinks I need to get back to my childhood days of keeping a diary. I use to write in one when I was 13 and stopped when I was 17 after it had been filled up and I felt no need for it anymore. I guess my mother thinks it would make me feel more giddy and young and flirtatious to write in a diary like I did when I was younger and I am only 23! Geez, sorry I haven’t had a date in 4 years and sorry I didn’t get married at a young age like my mother! I guess I should record some info about myself here and then continue my crazy story of my life.

Age: 23 Born: April 27th, 1981
Parents: George and Kate Nightly
Siblings: 1 older brother named Chris Nightly (26 years old) and 2 younger sisters Amber Nightly (21 years old) and Rose Nightly (19 years old).
Siblings Date lists: Chris Married to Julie, Amber single and Rose dating a guy named Jack.
Dates for myself: 5 dates since my first date when I was 16 and all of those men were assholes. They were either alcoholics, sex-aholics, or just flat out liars and jerks.
Born in: London, England
Lived in: New York City, since I was 3 years old. Every once in a while went to visit family on dad’s side in England every summer or Christmas. My dad is British.
How parents met: My parents met in college. My mom was on a exchange trip to England for a semester and she met my dad in a local pub and they began dating and when she had to go back to school they eloped and got married. So, then she finished school in England since it was her senior year and he was 4 years older than her and helped her out and they had my brother after she graduated college.

What do I do for a living? Well, it is complicated. I am a film actress and an entertainment magazine writer, for the Hollywood Weekly. See, I have starred in 4 films since I was 19 and each film I had to wear a blonde wig and everyone thought I was naturally blonde, so I would wear the wig out in public in New York city when I knew it was around the time for my movie to come out or I would wear it to premiere’s, interviews, and such. I took a break for a year and I decided to get a real job. Nobody knew it was me because I had was in my natural dark brown hair and I went under the writers name of Elizabeth Smith in the office. Nobody knew I was the famous actress Kathleen Nightly that they were trying to get info about since she took a year off and I am now where I am, looking for some acting jobs while still working as a writer for the magazine.

I have decided it was going to be the year, once I got a new film to come out with my natural hair color and maybe find a guy along the way to get my mother to stop pestering me to get a boyfriend. I had one in mind but I wasn’t sure if it would work. See he was my co-worker in the office and he wrote the music columns and I liked him a lot but the problem is he is one of the men I have listed above that I would not date. He is attractive though, with dark brown curly hair and beautiful blue eyes. His name is Hugh Dancy, an amazingly handsome guy but a player at the same time.

Ok, so I got problems in the men department and it doesn’t help that my mom tries to hook me up with many men each time I come home for Christmas. See, every year we go to London to visit my dad’s family and my grandparents for Christmas and each year my mother tries desperately to hook me up with one of my cousin’s friends or a distant friend of the family. And this Christmas was no different. Let me tell you about my Christmas with my family………..

A/N: Ok, tell me what you think and each chapter is going to start with a diary entry giving a short synopsis of the day and then the chapter tells you of what happened through her eyes and her comments. The next chapter won’t have an entry since the prologue was the entry and I hope you all like it and please go help me get a cast in the Cast Call I have posted in info and announcements. Please leave nice reviews!

~Kit-Kat~

I really like your beginning and the fact thst she is dealing with a double identity could turn out to be pretty interesting. I wonder where that will lead her. Probably to some big problems.

So far it sounds great and I would really like to read more.
*smiles*

This looks really interesting, Kit. I like the double-identity thing, but like Dana said, it could turn out to be a really big problem. Especially with her trying for a movie with her natural hair color, and she must already get people telling her, "Hey, Liz! You kinda look like that chick Kathleen Nightly. But I bet you get that all the time!!!" I wonder how everyone will react to this new development.

And Hugh? :yum: Ooh, he's a cutey. Maybe... just maybe, she'll change his player-ways. Actually, he does really resemble Hugh Grant, doesn't he? Hey. Hugh and Hugh. Teehee. :lol:

Anyway, I answered your cast call. :) I can't wait for this to really kick off, hun.

:heartbeat:
Samma

Holy Shit, I LOVE Bridget Jones' Diary :laugh:

I love this so far, Hugh Dancy= :drool: :drool: :drool:

I can't wait to see more and btw, I answered your casting call and have a question for you regarding mine too :)

Great job so far, I love it!!!

Katie

Aw, I love the beginning, dear! The silly mother who only wants to set her daughter up and the clever girl who resists it. I like the idea of Hugh Dancy being the player and yet her still having a hard time trying to resist him. This is going to be interesting to read! Cool how she sort of has two identities. Post more soon!

hey isnt the hair thing from hannah montana??? do you even watch that show? not that i do or anything.....k it was loverly...

I've watched it once or twice :meh: that's how I got the idea for the plot line, so I wasn't doing the total Bridget plot line. I'm gald you like it Kate! (pssst, kate fill out the cast call, I need more characters to fill!) :lalala:
:love:
~Kit-Kat~

Whoooo! This looks fun! ^_^
Can't wait for the next installment!

I will have another chapter up soon, I am waiting on more of my cast to be filled out. Sammi is also (hopefully) making banners for me, so she is (hopefully) making a preview banner for me and once my whoel cast is filled, chapter 2 will be up!
So I repeat:

CAST CALL STILL OPEN IN INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!
:love:
~Kit-Kat~

Yep, they shall be made by moi!! *salutes* Of course, who else? :doh:

Anyway, I'll hopefully get the preview banner done tonight. I've had a little trouble finding that journal thing the way you want it, but I have prevailed, thanks to Getty Image Bank. It is pretty much GODLY!!! :D

So, as soon as I can get onto my desktop, where my PSP is, I'll have it done. :shine:

~Chapter 1: London, England in the countryside (5 days earlier) Christmas Eve ~

I was walking through the ankle deep snow with my family to my grandparent’s house. I was bundled up tight in my black pea-coat but underneath was my new red Calvin Klein turtle neck sweater with a black mini skirt and black Gucci high heeled boots. If my family didn’t know I was famous, I might have a problem explaining this almost $1,500 outfit, but they all knew so I didn’t have to worry like I do at work back home.

“I am so glad we can all be together again for this Christmas unlike last year when we had to spend it in Italy for your last movie premiere.” Mom said wrapping her arms around my shoulder as we trudged up the drive.

“Mom, you weren’t complaining last year when we were in Venice.” I said.

“Yes, mom and let me quote you here, ‘Oh this is so much better that snowy England. Thank you Kathleen for brining us here for Christmas.’ End quote.” Chris said sticking up for me, while he was walking with his arms wrapped tightly around his wife’s shoulders.

“Thanks Chris.” I said and my mom just rolled her eyes.

“It was nice then, but now we get to spend Christmas again with our whole family, not just the 7 of us.” Mom said and we all just rolled our eyes as we reached the door and knocked on the door. Soon Grandma Jackie opened it and gave a big scream.

“Oh! It is so good to see al of you! You all have grown up so much!” She said enveloping me and my brother and sisters and sister-in-law in a huge hug and then hugging my mom and dad separately, “Please come in from the cold and take your bags upstairs.” Grandma said and we all came inside and took our coats off and took our stuff upstairs. I was sharing a room with Amber and Rose, while Chris and Julie had a room to themselves and mom and dad had a room to themselves.

After I had set my stuff upstairs and I decided to go down stairs and put my presents under the tree for everyone. As I was walking downstairs I realized a lot of people walking inside and I could hear people talking in the family room. I saw my mother come around the corner and I called her.

“Pssst! Mom!” I whispered and she turned and looked up at me on the stairs.

“What is it?” She asked.

“What’s going on?” I asked trying to balance all the gifts in my arms.

“Your Grandparents are having their annual Christmas Eve party, remember?” Mom said and I then remembered. I had forgotten about the party. I then quickly went into the living room and put the presents under the tree and then was about to go into the family room to join the party when my mom stopped me.

“You will never guess who is here.” My mom said excitedly and I rolled my eyes. Here we go again, lets play mother hooks up daughter dating game.

“Who mom?” I asked and she gave a small giggle.

“An old friend of yours, Orlando Bloom.” My mom said excitedly. I was in shock, he was an old friend of mine? I don’t remember that, if it is the same Orlando I am thinking of, then I know for a fact he is not an old friend of mine.

“What? No, the same Orlando who was in LOTR Orlando? He wasn’t an old friend of mine.” I said shocked.

“Yes, the same one was. He use to live next door to us when we lived here. When you were 3 before we moved he was 7 and him and his sister use to play with you and Chris. Remember when you 4 played magical worlds together, you were the youngest princess and Orlando had to save you when you were in trouble and Samantha was the older princess and Chris had to save her.” My mom said with that memory glint in her eyes and a little smile on her face.

“Uh, no I don’t.” I said and my mom giggled.

“You 4 were so adorable. Sonia and I always thought you and Orlando would get married when you were older.” Mom said. I remembered that her and Sonia were good friends and dad was best friends with Colin, Orlando’s biological dad not his dad his mom was married to.

“Ok, mom that was a cute story but I really don’t remember any of that.” I said beginning to walk in the other direction but she grabbed me.

“Oh no, you don’t go and talk to him he is over there by the bay window. I told him you were here and he wanted to see you, now go in there.” My mom said and she pushed me into the family room.

God, I hate it when my mother does this and tries to hook me up with men, but this time. I think she might have had good taste. Other times she didn’t have good taste they were always the nerds or the men who were already engaged and wanted to get a last ride with one hot babe, but this time she picked a good one. I will admit, Orlando is a very handsome man, with his dark brown curly locks, and dark brown eyes that look like chocolate and his tan skin that looks almost golden and his bright smile that could make any girl weak in the knees. Ah, I need to stop this! I need some chocolate now that I was talking about that.

I quickly took a turn to the food table and grabbed some little Christmas tree shaped chocolates my grandmother made and then went over to meet Orlando. He was standing there with some other dark brown haired girl, who I could automatically tell was Samantha and they were both talking to Chris and Julie. I quickly stopped and looked in the wall mirror to make sure my dark brown hair was still in curls, it tends to after I curl it die out after a while but it was still curly, good. I then kept walking over to the group and my brother saw me coming over and he spoke up.

“Oh, here she is! Kathleen, come here and meet Orlando, since you probably don’t really remember him.” Chris said and as I walked over Orlando turned around to look at me and he smiled when he saw me.

“Kathleen! It’s good to see you.” He said shaking my hand and then kissing me on the cheek. Whoa, that was s surprise, but a nice surprise at that. Then he looked at me confused, “I thought you were a blonde?” He asked.

“Oh, ummmm, my agent thought at first after everyone assumed I was blonde after wearing a wig in my first movie that I stayed blonde for a while, so I always wore that wig but this is my naturally hair color and I am expecting to get a new movie soon, so I am going to be my natural self from now on.” I said rambling and Orlando laughed.

“I thought you were a brunette originally when we were younger, so I thought there was something funny about you being a blonde.” He said and I gave small laugh.

“Yeah, I really didn’t like being a blonde either.” I said and I felt like that maybe was an insult.

“I can’t believe you two haven’t met since you both are Hollywood actors.” Chris said.

“Well, that’s a misconception that being in Hollywood means you know everyone in Hollywood. I am glad I got to meet you again Kathleen.” Orlando said.

“Please call me Kat.” I said.

“So, Kat, what have you been up to this past year and the past 21 years?” Orlando asked and we got to talking about our lives and everything else. I told him about me lately writing for a magazine and how I am going to get back to work. I told him about living in NYC, going to school and living a normal life up until I got the movie role and I had to go through College on movie sets for the next years after that. He told me about his life, school, and getting in his breakthrough film. We both it turned out knew Elijah and Dom, who were two of my best friends in Hollywood. After about an hour and half of talking and laughing I was beginning to feel maybe I should go on a date with him and maybe my mother picked a good one when his cell phone rang.

“Hold on one sec.” He said as he pulled out his phone, “Hello? Hey love, how are you? Stacy now stop, I am visiting family. I am sorry I can’t be there with your family for Christmas but I am visiting my family whom I haven’t seen in a while and I have spent more time with you. Look, I’m sorry I got mad, I will see you when I get back. I love you too, bye.” He said and I felt my heart sink ‘I love you too’, damn it he has a girlfriend! Why didn’t I remember that when we did an article on them recently. How we were betting they would break-up in 2 weeks after their 1 year dating spree.

“I’m sorry, that was my girlfriend. She lives in LA and was wondering why I wasn’t in LA with her for Christmas. God, she doesn’t understand the importance of family with me.” Orlando said and I nodded my head as I took big swig of the wine I was drinking.

“Yeah, a lot of people didn’t understand that with me either. My family is my number one importance with me too.” I said once I finished drinking my drink.

“Yeah, I feel the same way too. I will talk to you later and Happy Christmas if I don’t get to see you later.” He said as he kissed my cheek and went off. I grabbed the bottle of wine next to me and poured another glass and drank the whole glass in one minute. I hate it when I fall for guys who are taken. I quickly pulled out my phone and dialed my best friend Elizabeth aka Andy’s phone, she has been my childhood friend since I was 5 and we went through kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school together.

“H-Hello?” Andy said as she answered her phone, she sounded a little tipsy.

“Hey Andy, I need some girl talk with you. Are you drinking?” I asked.

“It’s Christmas, I’m allowed to drink even if it is only 2 o’clock here when it is what 8 o’clock there.” Andy said and I smiled.

“You are crazy.” I said walking over to the front hall and sitting on the steps.

“So, what is it you needed to talk about?” Andy said and I told her about Orlando and how I was hooked up with him by mother but I began to fall for him and like him a lot until I found out he had a damn girlfriend, “Wow, you actually met and sort-of grew up with Orlando Bloom? Sweet, but bad that he has a girlfriend but polls and pictures show that they may be close to breaking up. I mean you said it yourself that they were sounding on the rocks over the phone.” Andy said.

“Yeah, I guess your right I can hope.” I said and then my mom called me.

“Kathleen! We are all going to sing Christmas Carols! Come on and do you solo singing of Silent Night!” Mom called.

“I’m coming!” I called back, “Look, I got to go. Merry Christmas Andy, I will talk to you tomorrow.” I said.

“Bye Kit-Kat bar and Merry Christmas to you too.” Andy said and I hung up and went into the Family room and everyone was gathered around the piano including Orlando.

We sang some carols and then it was my turn to sing my solo that I sang every year, Silent Night. As I sang the song I noticed Orlando’s jaw was slightly dropped the whole time and he kept watching me closely. Once I finished everyone clapped.

“She has the most beautiful voice.” Most of my family’s friends said and then Orlando came over to me.

“That was the most beautiful singing voice I have ever heard. You sang beautifully, like an angel.” Orlando said and I smiled.

“Thank you.” I said and soon the party was over and I went upstairs to change for bed and once Rose and Amber were asleep, mom crept into my room.

“Kathleen? You awake?” Mom asked.

“I am now.” I whispered.

“Here, I wanted to give this to you early. Something to let you remember when you were a teenager.” She said and I opened the wrapped gift to find the dark blue leather bound book with a silver magnet lock, it was my diary.

“Aww, thanks mom.” I whispered as I hugged her.

“Your welcome. Merry Christmas.” Mom said and she kissed me.

“Merry Christmas.” I said and that’s how I got my diary and how I realized I needed to change my life with men and my career. I decided that night to come out with my natural hair color as an actress and getting a guy of my dreams this year if it was the last thing I do, whether it was Orlando or Hugh, I was going to get the man of my dreams.

A/N: Ok, I hope everyone enjoyed that and please leave nice replies. Preview Banner coming soon and rest of the cast coming very soon hopefully.

~Chapter 2~

Date: January 2nd, 2005 2:00PM

I am on a plane as I write this home to NYC after this long, even though it was short, Christmas vacation. I had a very interesting New Years Eve the other night. See my agent; Ewan came in to see my New Years Eve to tell me big news, which I will get to later and also to discuss my future in my career. Then that night I went out partying with my publicist Amalia, who came with Ewan, Dom a childhood friend of mine who was visiting his family in Manchester, Rose, and Amber out to a club for a midnight dance party. Amber of course was the designated driver since she can’t drink but anyways, we ran into Orlando there with his sister Samantha and then all of it got interesting……

“Alright we are here for celebrating Kat getting in her new movie ‘The Princess and the Pauper’!” Ewan said raising his beer glass and we all cheered.

“And for celebrating New Years Eve!” Rose and Amalia said and we cheered again.

“And Amber is the designated driver since she is only 19!” Dom yelled and we all laughed except Amber just sunk in her chair with her arms crossed. We all took big swigs of our drinks at this and when we all came up for air Ewan grabbed my arm.

“Now, are you sure you want to come out in public with your natural hair color, even though the public is use to you being a blonde? I mean this might bring your ratings down.” Ewan said and I patted Ewan on the back.

“Ewan I am not the President, I don’t really have ratings. Plus my fans will follow me no matter what my hair color is and it is time to come out, since my next movie role calls for me to be brunet and I am playing a 17 year old too, they think I look young too without the blonde hair I read in our last issue in my magazine about myself.” I said not making sense of what I just said because it even confused my low alcohol brain.

“You mean to say Elizabeth Smith’s magazine, not Kathleen Nightly’s magazine. Kathleen Nightly is the girl we all grew up with who became a movie star. Elizabeth Smith is the writer version of Kat who is undercover since she is famous using a code name in the office.” Dom said and we all looked at him confused and then we all got it and laughed.

“Let’s go dance!” Rose said dragging us onto the floor as the Michael Buble version of Save the last dance for me came on. It was a good version and I am surprised the club played it since it was mainly playing dance music. But I consider this a dance song but they might not, oh well, I need to stop thinking about it and dance!

As I was dancing a guy came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and we began to salsa dance to the salsa music. I turned around as he spun me and I realized it was Orlando.

“Orlando?!” I said surprised.

“Hey Kat.” He said and we kept dancing, “You don’t mind dancing with me do you?” He asked.

“No.” I said smiling as we continued dancing, “But what will your girlfriend say?’ I asked.

“She doesn’t have to know.” He whispered in my ear and I grinned and we began dancing faster to the music and little dirtier too. After the song ended we went to get some more drinks and he was on his 3rd and was already drunk. Wow, he really couldn’t hold his liquor. Well, I shouldn’t talk, after 4 I get drunk too.

“Kat, will you join me in counting down to the New Year?” He asked and I nodded my head yes. We counted down the New Year and at 1 he turned to me.

“Happy New Year Kathleen.” He whispered.

“Happy New Year Orlando.” I whispered back and he leaned down and kissed me deeply and passionately. Oh shit! This was not good, he was doing this because he was drunk and didn’t know what he was doing, but I gave into the kiss. He pulled away and smiled at me.

“Goodnight.” He whispered and he went over to talk to some friends, including Dom. I went over to get Dom to tell him we were leaving, when I over heard them talking.

“Dom, I really don’t know if I like her since I can only remember her as the annoying little girl from next door. I mean she was adorable at times but it just got to be annoying and now, she is desperate for love and it sounds like her love life has sucked. I guess no guys like her because she probably is annoying, ugly without stage make-up, and probably a controlling actress.” Orlando said slurred and I felt my jaw drop. How rude, conceited, evil, cruel, and what an asshole!

“Orlando, what the hell are you saying? You don’t think that!” Dom said shocked.

“He probably does and he is letting it all out now.” I said walking over to them and I punched Orlando in the nose and left him with a bloody nose and left. Dom looked at both of us shocked and we left with Amber, Rose, Amalia, and Ewan.

“What the hell was that?” Ewan, Amber, Amalia, and Rose asked once we were in the car.

“Nothing, just a realization. None of this gets out to anyone Amalia!” I yelled as I saw her pull out her blackberry.

“Sorry, I was going to write a statement incase it did.” She said softly putting it back in her purse.

“It won’t nobody was there and Orlando isn’t that cruel.” Dom said as Amber began to drive off back home.

“Yeah right.” I mumbled.

“No, really! He was letting the alcohol talk!” Dom said.

“Save it Dom! I have had enough men break my heart! Even though that was the best kiss I have ever had and when he wasn’t drunk he was really sweet and kind, he also is a great dancer. He has a sweet smile, beautiful eyes, glowing skin, and a warm touch.” I stopped myself, “Ok, so maybe I like him, but after tonight he has to make up for that big time!” I yelled as everyone looked at me with smirks. Once we were back at my grandparents house we all went our separate ways and the next morning I got on a flight to back to NYC.

And that’s where I am now sitting on my ass on a plane with an annoying 3 year old little girl behind me singing very off key to ‘You are my sunshine’ heheehehee. That makes me giggle, thinking of little Elijah singing that in Forever Young. Elijah is one of my best friends who is also as many people know a Hollywood actor and a best friend to my jerk-ass old childhood friend who I am secretly falling for even though he is an asshole. He lives in the same apartment building as me. He has a penthouse above mine. Anyways, last night I really wanted to kick Orlando in the b-

“KAT!” Ewan whispered really loud from across the aisle. I was sitting in the aisle seat with Rose next to me and Amber on the other side of her. Rose was busy listening to Carrie Underwood, her secret favorite singer and Amber was asleep against the window.

“What?!?! Don’t you see I am busy?!” I whispered back leaning into the aisle to talk to him.

“Sorry, but if you are seriously going to go through with your coming out with the real you and all. Shouldn’t you do that at work too. I mean, don’t you wear your old black rimed glasses with your natural hair while going by your pen name Elizabeth?” Ewan asked and I figured I wouldn’t come out in Hollywood with my glasses, I do have contacts that I wear. So I knew what he was saying, did he think I was that dumb that I wouldn’t drop this bomb at work too?

“Of course. On my first day back tomorrow we have a board meeting at 2 o’clock and I am gonna drop the bomb then by walking in with my wig on and my contacts in and explaining everything right there and then.” I said and he nodded his head in understanding.

“Oh and by the way. You have a press conference tomorrow at 4 o’clock at Central Park Hotel for the announcement of you joining the cast for The Princess and the Pauper. I figured that would be the time to drop the bomb on them too.” Ewan whispered.

“You mean twice in one effing day?!?! I have to do a big report tomorrow at 4!! Ewan you are tampering with my nerves and my nerves don’t like it!” I whispered angrily back and just then we heard someone clear their throat and we looked up to see the stewardess with her little cart.

“Would you two like peanuts or something to drink?” She asked nicely as we leaned back into our seats.

“I’d like some peanuts and a water.” I said.

“Give me a screwdriver, please dear God.” Ewan said. He only drank screwdrivers when he was stressed out or about to explode. He obviously wasn’t liking me stressing him out over my other job and not wanting to drop the reality bomb twice in one day. The stewardess handed me my water and peanuts and as she got Ewan’s drink ready there she kept looking at me out of the corner of her eye. Oh God, here it comes.

“You know you look a lot like Kathleen Nightly from Emily and the Scot and Under the High School maple.” she said and she had to mention my romance film that I made when I was 19 and my teen drama flick I made when I was 20.

“Don’t forget, The Theater Sisterhood and Hairspray.” Ewan piped in leaning over. Of course he had to mention my other two, the first one a comedy and drama I made when I was 21 and the second one was a musical based off of the Broadway musical where I played Penny Pingleton, the lead role’s best friend, that one was my last one I did when I was 22. When I turned 23 after it was premiered and everything, that’s when I took my break. I just glared at Ewan after he said that.

“Yeah, I remember those! I am big fan of hers. Geez, you and Kathleen could pass as twins if only you had blonde hair. You should go on the Regis and Kelly thing where they do a contest for look-a-likes, you would so win. They would have to put you in a blonde wig of course.” The stewardess said laughing and I gave a small laugh.

“Well, thank you for the compliment.” I said and she just smiled back.

“Your welcome anything else?” She asked smiling at me.

“Yeah, a cigarette.” I mumbled under my breath, “Nothing I am good thanks.” I said smiling back and she walked away.

“You don’t smoke.” Ewan whispered back.

“Well, I might start the way you are stressing me out! Don’t pipe in like that! Unless, it is for a good reason! I don’t need a mob on a plane 3,000 feet or higher up in the air! Now, leave me in peace to write!” I whispered angrily back and I took a sip of water and ate some peanuts as I finished my entry and write about the recent events.

I take that back, maybe I should kick Ewan in the balls for almost causing a fan mob on this plane! I was more worried about Dom causing a fan mob on the plane than me, for now at least until my truth comes out. See, he was sitting in first class with a baseball cap low over his head and big sunglasses on too to stay hidden since he had Hobbit mania fans like Elijah. He probably soon would have more of a fan base since he just got this job for a new TV show called LOST. He is going to start filming in Hawaii in May and guess who gets more vacation time to Hawaii now to visit a friend? ME! Yes, I love Dom, we, as in me, and all of my friends and family, have more of an excuse to go to Hawaii now! I hope Dom is ok though up in first class because not long ago I heard a woman squeal and I don’t know if that was for him or not. Luckily, Dom doesn’t have his agent with him this time or that could be a bad thing. The life of a celebrity might be better if there weren’t trouble causing agents like Ewan around, but it could be worse too with out their protection and I love him. He is like a brother to me in more ways than one. He’s like a brother because he comforts me and he is like brother because he always picks on me, like he just did now on the plane.

<_< I don't give an eff. People shouldn't say things like that about people they're just macked, even if they are "under the influence". Pansy.

Nice update. Oooh, that's kinda scary that she's "coming out" twice in one day, and still has to write a piece... :wacko:

I'm glad you like the banners. :wub:

New update soon! Oooh! Hawaiiiii... surf's up! What you have to do is go to Hanama Bay, where its just snorkeling. Oh, its soooo beautiful. And, apparantly, on different islands, on different shores, there's different colors of sand...

:heartbeat:
Samma

Ohhhhh I like the banners very much!
Sean does like very do-able in that picture.
The chapter was very nice, but coming out twice in one day. I have to admit that is scary stuff.

Thanks Skilos and Sammi. By the way Sammi, your question about the Amalia and Amber thing, is that Amber is my sister and Amalia is Ambrosia who is my publicist who happens to be in real life Amber, but the Amber in my sotry is not the Amber you know who is Amalia. Make sense? Ok, I'll put it simply: Amber is my sister not Ambrosia, Amalia is my puublicist who is Ambrosia. Keep reading and replying guys. :hug:
:love:
~Kit-Kat~

Oh, okay. :) I get it now... I was just a bit confused then... :unsure:

:heartbeat:
Samma

I LOVE MY BANNER SAMMI!!!!!! :love: to the Samma! :)

Anyways I loved this chapter, it's a great way to introduce everyone :)
Can't wait to see more.

Katie

P.S. Remember what I asked you in the casting call for Elijah not to be bald??? Well I just wanted to say thanks a bunch for making him have hair...well at least in the banner :laugh:

:laugh: I think thats the picture with the longest hair on him, that I have in my collection. I only have one of him bald (I think)... he looks so awesome, though!!! Aggh!! :hug:

Whoa! Orlando just became such a jerkface! He was so nice at the Christmas get together and then all of a sudden he is slimeball kissing girls who aren't his girlfriend and then talking trash about old friends. Why is he such a jork? Pff, he best straighten himself out. I do not approve of that behavior at all!

Oh, and thanks for clearing things up about the Amber and Amalia thing. I was a bit confused myself. :yes:

Heya bella, sorry I took so long to reply but this chapter was fantastic, but daymn Orlando, that was down-right horrible of him!! *wallops him* He should treat her better than that!!

And Samma, the bnners are all totally rocking! You have, once again, done a totally wicked job! So thankyou!! :hug:

Can't wait for more Kitty, I love the way your writing this, its fantastic!!

Chloe xxx

LOL thanks Samma! It depends on the pics of him being bald because he looks cute in some, but creepy with a beard like at Cannes, but hey that's just my opinion lol.

Thanks again for the awesome banner :)

Katie

P.S. Kit-Kat, can I ask you a favor?? Please update!! :laugh:

Don't worry Katie and everyone else, an update will be posted really soon I promise and I am glad you all like the banners and liked tha latest chapter!
:love:
~Kit-Kat~

A/N: Thanks so much for the nice replies and please keep reading and replying.



~Chapter 3~

Date: January 3rd 7:00PM

Well, today went well. First the crisis at work then the press conference went ok, it could’ve gone better, but work was the worst in some ways. I can’t believe some people at my office. They all now treat me differently, not the way I wish to be treated. They treat me differently in good ways and in some bad. Damn it on Hugh effing Dancy if he didn’t have to be such a freaking player! He flirts with me one minute this morning and then goes and flirts with Alexis the next! Urgh, he frustrates me yet he is so fine! Him and Orlando frustrate me, they both are handsome, very sexy men but jerks at the same time. Well, Hugh is more of a jerk than him. Oh well, I probably need to fill you in on the details of the day…

My alarm blares it’s annoying beeping sound early this morning, more like 5 AM! Geez, I miss not getting up until 7 AM on my regular job. I crawl out of bed in the process of getting tangled up in my sheets and falling to the floor with a loud bang.

“Damn it!” I mutter as I untangle myself and went to my bathroom and took a shower.

I come out and decide to pick out my outfit for the day. I grab my Tommy Hilfiger white blouse and I put on my Luella black mid thigh skirt with the white flower print design and my Jimmy Cho knee high heeled black boots. I then dried my hair and put it up in a bun and then grabbed my blonde wig. I had it curled the night before and I put it on. I then put my contacts in so I didn’t wear my glasses and I went downstairs for breakfast. I looked like my movie version of me, not my Elizabeth Smith. I though after I show them today, I will become the real me, not the movie version and not Elizabeth Smith. Then my doorbell rang as I sat down to eat my strawberries and corn flakes breakfast.

“Well, don’t you look smashing for you big coming out.” Ewan said as I opened the door.

“Good morning Ewan.” I said as I let him inside and I went back into my kitchen to eat breakfast.

“So, you will get out of work on time to come to the press conference?” He asked sitting down across from me.

“Yes, of course. Now, will you please go and wait for me downstairs, I want to finish my breakfast in peace.” I said in my not morning person self.

“You really aren’t a morning person.” He mumbled as he left my penthouse and I finished eating and before I left I quickly fixed my pictures on my living room table. They were of my friends.

First Elijah


Then the one of Ewan who loves his motorcycle


Then there was Gerard trying to be all posh


Then there was my next door neighbor Josh, after his vacation in Hawaii, where he had a job interview


Then there was Christian trying to look all classy when he sometimes isn’t.


Then there was Johnny with his guitar.


Then finally there was the one of Dom at ROTK premiere and him looking like a rock star or trying to be


As I was locking my door and as I was leaving I heard a familiar voice.

“Well, if it ain’t Kathleen Nightly! What happened to Elizabeth?” Josh asked jokingly. Josh Holloway was my next door neighbor and also a struggling actor. He had lived out in LA for a while but moved out here to NYC for some try in the NYC business last year. He was also one of the few who knew my double identity.

“Goodmorning Josh.” I said and I quickly changed the subject, “So have you heard anything yet about that job interview in Hawaii?” I asked.

“No, not yet sweetheart. I am beginning to think I won’t, so I have started on working on getting a home retail agent degree. In southern terms, I am gonna work on sellin’ houses.” He said smiling and I laughed.

“Well, I am glad you aren’t down about it and you never know I might be able to get you a job in my new movie or you could still get that job in Hawaii.” I said and he laughed.

“Thanks for being optimistic sweetheart.” He said coming over and hugging me and kissing the top of my head, I always thought of Josh as a big brother. “ So I hear you are having a big press conference today, is maybe your coming out?” Josh said pulling away with his eyebrows raised.

“Yes it is in fact and-“ I began to say until my cell rang and I opened it, “Hello?” I said.

“Would you get your arse down here!” Ewan yelled into the phone.

“I’m coming!” I yelled back and I hung up, “Sorry, Josh, Ewan is getting antsy and wants me to get downstairs and to work to tell them the news too. I’ll cya later, love ya cowboy.” I said as I kissed him on the cheek and left.

“Good luck sweetheart!” He called as I got in the elevator and I met Ewan downstairs as I put my big sunglasses on. One of my prized possessions as a celebrity and I don’t care how stupid they might look sometimes, I still love them.

“You finally decided to grace me with your presence.” Ewan said irritated and I kissed him on the cheek, he also is like a brother to me, and when I did that it shut him up, for a second.” Don’t try and butter me up now, we are going to be late.” Ewan said as he put his arm around my shoulders and led me out and snuck me into the car before the paparazzi who were across the street noticed.

“And good morning to you too Ewan.” I said once we were sitting in the car and Bill, my driver drove us to Hollywood Weekly head quarters.

“Ok, so you go in and go straight to the daily meeting and you drop the bomb. Then see what their reactions are then drop the other bomb of you going to have to leave early for the press conference and you won’t be working for about oh, 7 months for shooting of the new film. Sound good? Oh, and you will also be meeting your cast members of the new movie tomorrow at the whole script meeting tomorrow at New Line NYC studios.” Ewan said giving me the run down for today and tomorrow.

“Ok, Ewan, just hand me my breath mints and I am very nervous right now to do this, especially in front of Hugh.” I said as he passed me the mints.

“You like Hugh, even though he is a sleeze bag? I thought you liked Orlando? God, women confuse me.” Ewan mumbled and then we pulled up to headquarters.

“Ok, you ready?” Bill and Ewan asked at the same time and I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.

A/N: sorry, it took so long to update, I just finished school and I have been busy with my play lately since this weekend is opening weekend and next weekend is also our weekend to perform the show. So, I will soon have time again to update and this ahs been my only free time to update. So after this play is done I should have more time to update. So, I hope you all enjoyed that chapter and the rest of that day’s diary entry and this chapter will be concluded in the next chapter, I didn’t want to make this one too long for ya.

On a completly selfish side note....

:tehee: Skilos, all girls are bring introduced in the next 2 chapters, don't worry. You will join the story soon enough. I never thought of the Superman thing till you mentioned it.

It was meant to be funny Katie, but yet he was being mean. :blink: Ok, I know what I mean.

Trust me Sammi it will be intersting and also I am glad you guys liked the pictures, I wanted to kind of show that she has her pictures that are one fo ehr most treasured possesions and show different sides of that characters and their backstories besides the pictures from the banners. (Which are jsut lovely by the way Sammi!)

Ok, please keep reading and replying I love getting replies!

Thanks Kit, I can't wait.

(i'm so giddy it is absolutely stupid, LOL)

Aw, Josh seems so sweet! I hope things start to work out for him with the whole acting gigs and all. :yes: And, Ewan seems like a fun lad...all scolding and nervous like. I wonder how the whole 'revealing' process is going to go. Hmmph, by the sound of things, Hugh is not going to be very helpful in the process.

Glad you got a chance to update!

I know what you mean is what you mean lol. I do it all the time.

YAY!!!!!!! :getdown: Can't wait to see it.

Katie

A/N: A long awaited update for everybody!



Chapter 4

So, where was I? Oh, right. I had arrived at work and walked into the building toward my death, or death of my alter ego Elizabeth……

“Is my hair ok?” I asked Ewan as we walked into Headquarters.

“It looks fine, even though you are going to take off the wig after you have told them everything.” Ewan said noticing everyone staring at me and whispering to other workers. We stepped into the elevator next to Hugh and Pat. Pat my enemy at work who also liked Hugh and she always pushed me around every time I wrote a story. She wrote for the fashion articles. They both had their jaws dropped and kept staring at me.

“Is there something wrong?” I finally asked turning to them.

“No, it’s just- Your one of my favorite actresses.” Pat said with a little smile on her face and I swear I almost chocked on my own spit because of what she had just said.

“Well, thank you.” I said.

“What are you doing here?” Hugh asked.

“I’m here visiting a friend of mine. I’m here to make an announcement for her.” I said smiling.

“Whose your friend?” They both asked in unison.

“Elizabeth Smith.” I said and Hugh and Pat looked at each other with dropped jaws and then back at me. Ewan gave my hand he was holding a small squeeze for support. I was glad when we had finally reached our floor and they went into the conference room and I followed them. Everyone stared at me as I walked in. Ewan stayed outside the room while I went in.

“Good Morning everyone. I have an announcement to make for Elizabeth Smith, who is a friend of mine.” I said and Jimmy my boss looked at me like I was crazy and the others looked at me in shock, “She will not be attending work anymore, she ahs left.” I said and then finally Jimmy spoke up.

“Why couldn’t she just come into work and tell us herself?” Jimmy asked, “I mean it is a pleasure to have you here Miss Nightly but why couldn’t she come here herself and tell us? Why you?” he asked and I smiled.

“Well, actually she is here. You’re looking at her.” I said and I pulled off my wig and let my curly brown hair down and I put my glasses on for a second and smiled, “Surprise. This is the real me, I’m really Kathleen Nightly, Elizabeth Smith was my pen name.” I said as everyone gasped and stared at me with blank faces, except for Hugh’s which went from shockingly jaw dropping to a huge smirk.

“So, your saying this whole time where we were all working our asses off trying to find good pictures of you, you were actually in our own building?!” Pat said shocked with a disgusted look on her face.

“I had to take a break and I like writing and I love film and entertainment and Hollywood, so I thought why not work for a magazine company for a year. I did this for myself, not for my career and now I am coming back as the real me, without the wig.” I said as I took the glasses off.

“You are one of our best reporters and writers Eliz- I mean Kathleen and we don’t want to get rid of you. Could you maybe do reports while on the set, like specials, like my behind the scenes journal type things?” Jimmy asked and I smiled, they took me for who I was and didn’t care.

“Of course, but who will take today’s press conference I am going to? I have to leave early for that today.” I asked and he sighed and rolled his eyes.

“Am I going to get this all the time now? Fine, it is fine. Hugh, for today can you do coverage for this?” Jimmy asked and Hugh smiled.

“Of course I will sir. And I will make sure I get all the facts on Miss Nightly’s conference today, every single detail.” He said as he stared at me with his sexy smile and I felt heat creep into my cheeks.

“Great, that settles that matter. Eli-Kathleen you can sit down now so we can get to business after a surprising beginning to the meeting. By the way how long are you going to be shooting your new film?” Jimmy asked.

“Uh- 7 months.” I said and everyone groaned.

“God Jimmy, you don’t even give us a month of vacation! She can’t get that!” Everyone yelled at him, except Hugh who just sat in his chair smirking at me the whole time.

“She will get the time off because it is her job.” Jimmy said and Pat groaned.

“Jimmy! That is not fair! You don’t even give me 2 months off for a nice vacation, no you make me go travel for 3 months around Europe for fashion shows and that was not for leisure so I didn’t enjoy it!” Pat yelled and Jimmy slammed his fist down on the table.

“Patricia! Stop it! I am letting her do this because that was her first and main job, plus with her doing the journal special, we can get more readers for our magazine. Now, if everyone is done groaning we are going to go on with the meeting.” Jimmy said and Pat sat back in her chair in a huff and she stared at me with a look that could kill. After the meeting I walked out of the meeting catching up with Ewan sitting in my desk chair in my cubical.

“Out of the seat buster! I don’t care if you’re my agent, that is my seat of tranquility.” I said joking and he got out rolling his eyes and his cell phone rang. I sat down at my desk and began typing up a quick report I had to finish from before vacation that was going in next week’s issue. It was my report talking about me coming out in saying who I really am.

“So, who would’ve known shy little beautiful Elizabeth was really the beautiful, glamorous, sexy Kathleen Nightly.” Hugh said leaning on my cubical wall with that smile of his and I felt my body turning into putty and my knees getting a little weak.

“Yup, the real me is Kathleen Nightly. It’s on my birth certificate to prove it.” I said as I smiled at him and turned back around so my back was to him so I could finish up my report.

“So, is that guy who you came in with your boyfriend?” Hugh asked and I smiled repressing a giggle. Ewan, my boyfriend?! Please! I had finished up my report and I emailed it to Jimmy and I shut down my computer.

“No, he is my agent. Look, I’m sorry but I’ve got to go and get ready for my press conference. I will see you there.” I said and I went to go find Ewan who was talking with Jimmy and I told him we had to go and we left.

We went out to the limo and we drove over to my hairdresser/make-up artists salon and went inside.

“Cera! I’m here!” I called coming inside and I saw her come running out of her office with her wavy brown hair bouncing in it’s high ponytail.

“Kat! Get in my chair right now, I have to work on your hair and make you look amazing. Even though you already look amazing.” Cera said with her brown eyes sparkling when she saw me and she ushered me to her area in the back of the salon and everyone said hi to me as I walked by. She pushed me down into the chair and got immediately to work, “So tell me about your meeting this morning with your magazine.” She said, she wasn’t much of a talker but more of a listener. I called her my make-up artist/hairstylist/shrink. I could always tell her anything. Amalia met up with us at the salon

So, once she had re-curled my hair and did my make-up to look natural yet sexy and we then left to go to the Press Conference in Central Park. I arrived and was immediately greeted by the director Jack Harris.

“Hello Kathleen, it is good to see you again. Now, we are going to explain the production and your part. Then we are going to let them ask questions.” Jack said and I nodded my head.

“Not too many private life questions please.” Amalia said as her dark brown eyes bore into Jack to pretty much make it known she meant business.

“We prefer at an even like this we stick to the film nothing more.” Ewan said and Jack nodded his head.

“Of course. My publicist shall go make that announcement.” Jack said and we nodded our heads. Soon, I walked out to flashbulb mayhem with my new look and I explained to them everything and they all understood and I saw Hugh in the back of the group taking notes. We talked about the movie, my co-stars, and my reason for coming out and etc. I found out that Orlando was going to play my love interest in the film and I felt myself choke on my water and Ewan and Amalia looked at me and then at Jack. They knew how I felt and what had happened over Christmas break. They also knew some pictures were floating around from the New Year’s Eve party and some questions were all ready being raised.

All of the press questions were mostly about the movie and me coming out until Hugh got to ask his question.

“Kathleen, is it true you are actually dating your new co-star Orlando Bloom?” He asked and I looked at Amalia and Ewan and Amalia spoke up.

“Actually- we are not doing any…” Amalia started to say until I cut her off.

“No, we are not. We are just old friends. Please no more personal questions.” I said and Amalia and Ewan glared daggers at me.

“Next question!” Amalia said a little too loud and the press conference went on. After it was all over, there was Hugh standing at my limo.

“Here’s my number, give me a call and maybe we can go on a date sometime.” He said with his trade mark smile and he walked away. I watched him walk and away and noticed him starting to flirt with Alexis the photographer and I felt the silly smile I had on my face disappear.

“That ass hole.” I said and I got in the limo with Ewan and Amalia and drove off to get some lunch.

So, that was the events of my day. They were good and bad, but oh well. I expected these kind of reactions. Well, I am tired and going to bed. Tomorrow is script reading day and I have to read with Orlando. Fun, that will be interesting after my comment today. Oh well, the life of an actress isn’t an easy one. I will have more tales of drama probably tomorrow.

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed that long awaited cliff hanger chapter and please leave nice replies!

~Kit-Kat~

Hey Kat, sorry I didn't review before...

I liked this chappie, showed us how much tension the two women had and Hugh being the Daniel Cleaver (jerk lol)...I watched the first one on TV last night and I forgot how much of an asshole Hugh Grant is lol...I liked the fight scene lol..

Anyhoo I cant wait to see the next part where hopefully I'll make my first cameo...sorry if that's annoying, I'm just eager and impatient ;)

Katie

Um, yeahhh. Hugh is a gold-digging butthead.

Nuff said.

:heartbeat:
Samma

Ohhh! Hugh packs a low punch. Then, asking her out right after? What a conceited jerk he is!

But, she's filming with Orlando! That could prove very interesting, indeed. ^_^

Heya Kit-Kat bar!! I'm baaaack, and i absouletly adored those last 2 chapters. don't like Hugh much tho <_< but maybe with time I will.
Looks liek things could get rather interesting with her having to film with Orlando, hehe I look forward to what shall unfold.
