both been close to Fran. At first Cheryl couldn't stand Jordanna, as far as she was concerned the coltish bad girl with the wild reputation was an outrageous pain in the ass. But once she'd gotten to know her she'd realized that, like herself, Jordanna came from an affluent dysfunctional family and was merely trying to survive as best she could.
    They'd started hanging out together, bringing in Shep, Grant and Marjory as their cohorts. Soon they were known as The Hollywood Five. It suited them fine as they all carried the same burden - parents who were too busy being rich, famous and successful to find time for their kids.
    'I suggest you try a margarita,' Cheryl said, barely looking up. Three of those little mothers and you don't even know you're on this planet!'
    'You try a margarita while I try the blonde in the tank top,' Grant said, getting to his feet. He was tall and lanky with a long face, thick arched eyebrows and brown hair slicked back in a ponytail. He was handsome, but not as handsome as his famous father - a fact that irked him considerably.
    Jordanna glanced over at his soon-to-be conquest. She loathed what she termed the Bimbette Army. They invaded Homebase Central on a regular basis, all tight Spandex, big hair and plumped-up lips - every one of them available and stupid. 'How you guys can get it up for them is beyond me,' she sighed. 'Haven't you heard of having a conversation first?'
    'C'mon, Jordanna, get real,' Grant said, preparing for conquest. 'I'd like to get an ear on
your
pillow talk.'
    'Screw you, Grant,' she said mildly.
    Shep joined in. He had sun-kissed blond hair and small, well-defined features. 'Yes, Jordy,' he said accusingly, 'you do the same as Grant - pick a body for the night and a couple of hours later it's goodbye, don't call me I'll call you.'
    'At least mine don't have plastic tits,' Jordanna retorted tartly. 'And they don't show everything in girlie magazines with one leg in the air claiming they love animals and have this burning desire to save the world.'
    'Personally, I've decided I'm into celibacy,' Cheryl announced. 'Either that or I might try the dyke route. This whole AIDS thing scares me enough to keep my pants
on!'
    'Can I watch?' Grant asked, leering.
    'Get
out
of here,' Cheryl said tardy. 'You're a real sicko.'
    Grant touched her shoulder. 'And you love it.'
    'In your dreams.'
    Grant moved rapidly toward Miss Tank Top, who lurked at the crowded bar with a group of similar-looking girlfriends.
    'God, I hope he's not going to bring her over,' Jordanna groaned.
    'Ignore her, she'll never notice,' Cheryl said, knocking back her fourth margarita. 'She's the kind of girl who only pays attention to the guys.'
    'I can't stand these would-be starlets,' Jordanna complained. They honestly believe if they sleep with a guy who's even vaguely connected to the movie industry he'll give them a part. Everyone knows what part they'll get, and the only place it's connected to is his balls!'
    'Vulgar!' Shep said.
    'But true,' Cheryl said.
    They're so dumb!' Jordanna said.
    'Not everyone has your rocket scientist IQ,' Shep interjected.
    Jordanna turned on him. 'Why are
you
so pissy tonight? Got your period?'
    'What do you mean by
that
? Shep demanded, his cheeks reddening. Shep was gay, but he still thought nobody knew. They all did, but the closet door remained firmly shut.
    'He's always pissy,' Cheryl murmured, causing Shep to glare at her too.
    Naturally Grant couldn't resist bringing the hard-bodied blonde to their table. She had that glazed look, like she'd recently posed for a centre spread revealing her big breasts, all-American teeth and ever so slightly protruding eyes to the world.
    'Everyone, this is Sissy,' Grant said, placing a possessive arm around her bare shoulders.
    Sissy focused on Shep, who was even more handsome than Grant. 'Hello,' she said, in a high-pitched Valley-girl voice. 'And who exactly am I meeting?'
    Oh, great, Jordanna thought. This one wants their resume on the
