Austen is driving his Black Audi SUV as Mercedes looks on her phone, trying to navigate another gated community.
Austen: Where is this place supposed to be babe?
She scrolls on her phone trying to find the location.
Austen: It is supposed to be a great place. The last house? Man, did those pictures lie!
Mercedes: Sometimes they do lie, it’s why need go look at them. My phone is being crappy, it’s not finding the location. I’m trying to find it, just wait.
Mercedes smacks her phone joking around. Austen pulls over.
Austen: While you are doing that, I am gonna see if Donovan and Danni have a real-... realty house…. The house showing person.
He laughs and shakes his head.
Mercedes: Yeah never know, they might. Would be great since seems we keep finding the wrong houses.
She keeps trying to find the place on the map, wanting to throw her phone because she couldn’t.
Austen: Wait? Is that it?
He points a few houses down the street. The yard was a bit brown and dried up.
Austen: Crap. Another bad one?
Austen and Mercedes’ phones goes off as they get a response to their Tweet. Mercedes looks at her phone, as she looks at him.
Mercedes: Yeah it is. Looks like though we may have help. I say we go with her, instead of looking at more places.
Austen: Okay. I am done with open houses as it is. We stick out like a sore thumb; everyone is like ‘who invited the children’.
He laughs.
Austen: So we will see what their manager thinks. And for now, I have an idea. You still want to do the interviewing thing?
He turns towards her.
Mercedes: Yeah we did, even if we're not children. Hopefully she finds us something.
She looks at him, as she nods her head yes.
Mercedes: Yeah I do want to. I was serious.
Austen: How about we do that again? A little bit of practice. You interested?
He hoped so, figuring it would be something fun.
Mercedes: Sure we could do that. It should be fun, plus help make sure I am even more ready to show I want the job.
Austen: I think we need to pick out a good place to do it.
They sit in the car for a moment, trying to figure out a good choice.
Mercedes: What if we head to the beach, it is least a place we both enjoy.”
She was trying to think of a place, as she looks over at him.
Austen: True. That could work. How about.. The pier? I think that might be a good idea.
Mercedes nods her head yes, as she liked that idea.
Mercedes: Yeah the pier would be even better, maybe over by where we first met at.
Austen starts the SUV back up.
Austen: Perfect.
He begins to drive out of the gated community
Austen: You have a little bit of driving time to get your questions all ready. You have an idea, or an angle, yet?
She thinks about it, as she nods her head slightly.
Mercedes: Yeah I do a bit. Things like how does it feel now that you debuted, have had first title shot, among other things.
Austen: Okay. Keep me in the dark for now. But I am glad you have thought about it.
He takes her hand.
Austen: I think I am going to sit down and speak with my parents soon. I know I’ve been avoiding them. And with Road Shows, training, rehabbing my knee, and house hunting… they all have become easy excuses.
She smiles as she squeezes his hand lightly.
Mercedes: Yeah they are, but you really need to. More so tell them our plans so it doesn’t get sprung on them babe.
He nods.
Austen: I understand. I just; I don’t even know what to say.
She nods her head, as she understood.
Mercedes: I know, and sure you won’t till you actually go talk to them.
Austen: You are probably right.
They drove for a bit with the music playing as they started to ride along the coast.
Austen: Waves seem calm today.
Mercedes: That’s good after the last time.
She laughs lightly, as she glances over at him.
He nods as he pulls into the parking lot for the pier.
Austen: Been a bit since we’ve been here. You ready to do this?
She looks at him as she nods her head yes.
Mercedes: Yeah I am. It should be fun really.
They head out of the SUV and hold hands as they head up to the pier.
Austen: I can remember watching a little cutie making her way up these very steps.
Mercedes: I was so nervous, but knew I had to be here to meet you. I’m glad it happened.
Austen: Me too.
They head up the stairs. They take a seat on the bench where he waited for her.
Austen: Here.
Austen hands her his phone.
Austen: Whenever you are ready. Miss Carter.
Mercedes: Alright Mr. Blackwell.
She turns his phone on, as she looks at him.
