<b>Busy On the Creek</b>
Wilmington, North Carolina.  October 2001.

	People had always called her Busy.

	Ever since her birth, she was always moving, and that was the
reason for the name.  Elizabeth Phillips was doing something
whenever anyone saw her.  Even when she appeared at rest, she was
in reality planning and preparing for her next move towards her
current goal.  Her family gave her a nickname based on this
quality, and it stuck.

	Now, for the first time she could recall, Busy Phillips was
halted and at a loss for what to do.

	"This is how we roll," the writer and director Kevin Williamson
had told her.  "If you can't take it, you don't belong here."

	Fine, Busy was thinking now, maybe you're right.  She had said
nothing to Williamson when he spoke to her an hour ago, only
nodded and walked away in a huff.  Now she was considering the
issue and clenching her hands.

	Busy was a new starring cast member in Williamson's hit Warner
Brothers television series 'Dawson's Creek'.  She had started
work on the teen drama in the summer playing Audrey Liddell, a
girl from Los Angeles who attended college on the United States
east coast.  It was a fun role and one that allowed Busy to use
both her talent for drama and sharp comedic tongue to their
fullest extent.  She was twenty-two years old and already a
veteran actress with credits in multiple TV series and a few
independent films.  She had initially been thrilled to get a job
on a hit show like 'Dawson's Creek' and thought it would be a
snap.  Boy, had she been wrong.

	I should have listened to the rumors, Busy told herself.  She
was standing on the sidelines of the set, watching the rest of
the cast act out a scene.  Four of the other five regulars were
present, as only Kerr Smith was off that day.  He and the four
currently on set had little film industry experience other than
the show.  No regular TV roles and only a few small movie parts.
Busy had figured a show where rookies like them could do well
enough to get high critical acclaim and ratings among teen
audiences would be easy for a veteran like her.  She had ignored
what she'd heard about Williamson's scripts being full of heavy
adult themes, verbose complex dialogue, and deep relationships
between the characters.

	I got a lot of that during 'Freaks and Geeks' and my other work,
Busy had thought at the time.  Surely, this show can't be any
worse.

	The first few episodes she filmed had changed her mind quickly.
Production was delayed by budget troubles and the September 11
attacks.  Thus Williamson had worked the cast and crew very hard
in the weeks before the new season's broadcast release.  Busy had
been relieved when she completed the first three episodes and got
to take time off to finish the movie she had been filming over
the summer.  That film, 'Home Room', had meant a lot to her, and
it too had suffered production delays thanks to financing and
September 11.

	After Busy finished, it was back to 'Dawson's Creek' and its
scripts that forced her to rehearse for hours to get things
right.  Busy soon discovered that every rumor was understated
about the intensity of Williamson's writing and what he expected
of his actors.  Acting on this show had become the greatest
challenge of her career.

	"It's not usually this heavy," the show's star James Van Der
Beek had told her.  "We just have a big workload because of all
the delays.  It should slack off once we get past sweeps."

	Busy didn't know if she could last that long.  The summer had
been easier, she recalled, but the only benefit it brought was
that the first two episodes of the new season were ready on time.
 The next two were rushed, and they were filming number five now.
 Six and seven were going to start next week, and then eight and
nine the week after.  Only then were they all going to be allowed
a few consecutive days off.

	How much longer can I take this? Busy wondered.  Goddamn network
executives losing faith in the show's low ratings and cutting our
finances.  Goddamn terrorists fucking things up in general. 
Goddamn series creator expecting my co-stars and me to keep doing
our best with his impossible demands.  To hell with them all.

	She looked at each of her co-stars on the set, sizing them up
one by one.  Upon getting to know them Busy was forced to admit
they did have some skills.  James, the tall blond heartthrob who
played title character Dawson, was a worthy star.  His fame in
this series had launched him into a small film career and made
him a well-known teen idol.  Busy expected his face would be
recognized by the public long after their show went off the air.

	The stocky young dark-haired actor who played Dawson's best
friend Pacey, Josh Jackson, was even more talented.  He had won
multiple Teen Choice Awards for his 'Dawson's Creek' role and had
several small movie parts under his belt as well.  Busy had never
heard of him before they met, but it soon became evident to her
he was an actor of great range and stamina.  She fully expected
him to retain a strong TV and film career after the show ended
while James's declined.

	Then there were the other actresses.  Like Busy, Michelle
Williams was a shapely blonde in her early twenties.  Her figure
was a bit shorter and slimmer than Busy's, her honey hair curlier
and a shade lighter, and her skin less tanned.  Busy was
unfamiliar with her work outside 'Dawson's Creek', but if what
she had seen on the show was any indication Michelle too would
have a strong career.  She was a very dedicated actress and her
presence affected everyone around her on the set just as her
character Jen's did on their series.  Everyone was inspired to
challenge themselves and work harder with a talent of such
caliber nearby.

	The show's other starring actress, Katie Holmes, was a tall girl
of twenty-three with a runner's figure.  Long dark hair framed an
open face with doe brown eyes that along with her shy manner had
benefitted her character Joey Potter's image as the girl next
door.  Katie defied that image with a skill and wisdom beyond her
years.  Busy had been unable to believe such talent could come
out of high school plays and small film roles.  We've got a
lasting icon here, she considered Katie's future.  Even if she
quits acting for some reason, I have a feeling Katie Holmes will
always be on the public's mind.

	And what of me, Busy mused, placing herself against the four. 
Am I really better than they are, as I thought before we started
working together?  I have to say I don't know.  I can predict
others' futures with success, my talent for observation allows me
that, but my own future is much harder to judge.  I know I have
some fans.  I got a lot of critical praise on 'Freaks and Geeks'
and I intend to continue acting.  I would like a normal life
someday, a husband and children, but life in the spotlight would
be nice too.

	She grimaced, aware of an intense gaze on her.  The cast had
stopped between takes, and tall black-clad Williamson was
addressing them on needed improvements.  Michelle's brown eyes,
the most prominent feature of her heart-shaped face, were looking
at Busy.  Why does she stare at me so much? Busy wondered.  She
blinked her own deep blue eyes and waved at Michelle.  The other
actress immediately ran a hand through her pixie cut hair and
looked away.  Busy shook her own shoulder length curls and
grinned to herself.

	Michelle wanted to be better friends with her, she knew.  The
series cast were very close, and as the new girl Busy had found
herself jealous of this.  She had not been able to become that
close to them either.  Both their talent and Williamson's intense
scripts intimidated her.

	Michelle wants to change that, Busy thought.  The others do too.
 I would like to oblige them, but it's hard to get any free time
with this schedule.  I'm not sure I can make friends with them
either.  I don't even know if I want to stay on this show.

	You have to stay on this show, Busy at once silenced that
impulse.  You're under contract.  Your character is very
important to the season's main arc and several subplots. 
Williamson is hoping she'll breathe new life into the series and
save its falling ratings.  He thinks I have the ability, and in
my heart I don't want to let him down.  I can't quit.  That would
be the coward's way out.  Everyone is depending on me.

	"Excuse me," a voice said at her elbow.  "Are you alright?"

	Busy turned to see a young dark-haired man in a blue sweatshirt
and jeans addressing her.  Cute guy, she said to herself, and at
once felt under-dressed in her casual black blouse and slacks. 
She had seen the man walking around the set that day, talking to
the older Williamson.  Josh had told Busy the man was a budding
screenwriter seeking advice from a master.  Until now, he had not
approached any of the stars.

	"I'm fine," Busy told him, blinking.  "Just watching them film."

	The man nodded, his lips tinged in a smile.  "I have been too. 
They have great talent.  I only hope they can cope with all the
drama and heartbreak ahead in their lives."

	"Oh, they can," Busy assured him.  "We get forewarning on that
from our scripts."

	"That's not what I meant.  I meant the drama and heartbreak in
their real lives, not in the lives of their characters.  I think
the great writer of the universe has plans for them all,
especially the two women.  They may not be fully prepared for
what lies ahead."

	"Oh."  Busy grimaced and looked away.  She was not used to
dealing with a deep thinker like this.

	"I'm sorry."  The man coughed, and she turned back to him.  "I'm
forgetting my manners.  Marc Silverstein.  Marc with a 'C'."  He
extended his hand.

	Busy took the hand and shook it.  "Elizabeth Phillips.  My
friends call me Busy."  This guy is handsome and interesting, she
thought.  I'd like to be friends with him.

	"Kevin told me your name," Marc said, releasing her hand.  "I
hear you live up to it."

	"Most of the time."

	Marc nodded, looking her up and down.  His eyes finally met hers
and lingered.  "Something's on your mind right now.  Do you want
to tell me about it?"

	Busy blushed.  "Well..."  She shrugged again.  Why not?  "It's
the show.  Kevin works us very hard, and his scripts are more
intense than anything I've ever done before.  I'm not sure I can
take it."

	"I see," Marc said.  "Well, you should know that the great
writer of the universe never gives us anything we can't handle. 
I believe you're up to the task."

	"Really?" Busy asked him, grimacing.  The man's spiritual
references were unnerving her.

	"Yes.  I've seen your work.  You can handle this.  Trust me. 
You're talking to an acclaimed screenwriter."

	"I've never heard of you."

	"Well, so far I've only done a short film, one feature with Drew
Barrymore, and a few TV episodes.  Nothing that big.  But I'm on
my way."

	"I'm sure you are," Busy said with a grin.  His confidence was
contagious.

	"I'm a big fan of your 'Freaks & Geeks' character.  You handle
yourself very well, for someone so..."  He paused, searching for
a word.  "Hot."

	"Hot?" Busy repeated, frowning.

	"Yes.  I think you're the hottest girl on this show, prettier
and more interesting than either of those other actresses."  Marc
waved a hand towards Michelle and Katie.  "Most girls I've met
with similar beauty and talent have been shallow or otherwise
disappointing.  Not you, though.  Your character can take
whatever gets in her way, and so can you."

	"Um, thanks," Busy said.  She looked away, feeling unsure of
herself.  Marc's hand fell onto her shoulder and she turned back
to look into his eyes.

	"Whatever your problem," he told her, "you can handle it.  Just
think about it, take things as they come, and you will find a way
out."

	"Alright," Busy replied.  She shrugged and pulled away from him.
 "If you say so."

	"Hey Busy!" Williamson called out just then.  "We need you down
here!"

	"Great," Busy said with a sigh.  She had thought her scenes for
the day were finished an hour ago.  Watching the others film had
settled her down somewhat.  "I have to go, Marc.  Nice meeting
you."

	"You too," the young writer answered.  "I will see you again,
right?"

	"Sure, if you hang around the set."

	Busy smiled at him and then went to join her fellow cast
members.  Marc watched her for a minute before heading off on his
own.  Busy glanced at him once over her shoulder and grinned when
he glanced back and gave her a thumbs up.  Cute guy, she mused
again.  Weird but cute.

	"I see you met Marc," Williamson greeted her as she approached.
"He's a writer of some potential.  Maybe you two can work
together someday."

	"Maybe," Busy agreed.  "So what's up?  I thought my scenes were
done for today."

	"They are," Williamson confirmed.  "Everyone's are.  This is the
after-action review."

	Oh great, Busy said to herself.  The part of the day you always
insist on, and which I hate the most.  She nodded and took her
place beside her fellow actors as Williamson began his usual
spiel over how well they had done in the day's scenes.  Busy
listened to it all, doing her best to take the criticism in
stride and not react to the praise.  The others did the same. 
They all knew from experience that Williamson would respond
negatively if they did anything else.

	To distract herself, Busy thought about Marc's comment on her
looks.  Am I really prettier than Michelle and Katie, she asked
herself.  Both look very good today.

	Michelle was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and jeans that
showed off her figure.  Katie had on a dark blue blouse and skirt
that accented the highlights in her hair.  Busy felt
self-conscious in their presence.  She edged from heel to heel,
wondering if Marc had really been sincere.

	I think he was, she decided at last.  It could be just his
opinion, though.  I agree with him that my character on this show
is more interesting than Michelle's or Katie's, but longtime fans
probably disagree.  Oh well, at least my newness will highlight
the differences between us.  I'm sure that will catch someone's
eye.

	"You all did fine overall," Williamson finished his critique. 
"Tomorrow I expect improvement in the areas I mentioned.  In
closing, I have some good news.  Our ratings rose with last
week's episode, and the network has made an early commitment to
another season."

	None of the actors smiled.  "Do you have that in writing?" asked
James.

	Williamson shook his head.  "Unfortunately, not yet.  I am
working on it, though.  Relax, guys.  They dumped 'Buffy', so
right now we're the strongest teen show they have.  We're
carrying the network with our demographic.  Even if they cancel
us, I have enough syndication deals lined up to keep us on the
air on foreign and cable networks for many years to come.  We
should also do great on DVD sales."

	"Right, Kevin," Josh agreed with a grimace.  "We're a huge hit.
So big that we've started a trend.  Every other teen drama out
there is copying us."

	"Hey," Williamson said with a smile, "imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery."

	"Agreed," said Michelle.  "However, imitation also makes the
original look stale if it's done too much."

	"Good thing we're not the original popular teen angst drama,
then," replied Katie.  "That would be 'Beverly Hills 90210'."

	Williamson and Busy's fellow stars cringed at the mention of
that hit series.  Ever since starting their show, their goal had
been to top '90210' in ratings and critical success.  They had
not succeeded.  '90210' had ended over a year ago, but its
popularity had ensured it would forever remain embedded in the
American mind.  So would its numerous spinoffs, something that
had not worked out for 'Dawson's Creek'.

	Busy herself had a different reaction to the mention of their
rival.  Oh my god, she thought, that's it!  '90210'!  I grew up
watching that show, and I've taken a lot of my acting skills from
it.  It got me interested in celebrity gossip too, when I
followed the lives of its stars.  One of them, Shannen Doherty,
left the show several times because she didn't get along well
with the other actors.  Her character was pretty important,
though, so they kept bringing her back.  Until the fourth season,
when they finally had enough.

	I could act like her and maybe wrangle a few days off out of
Williamson.  He's been in show business long enough to be used to
diva-like behavior.  I know he won't want to write me out when
he's got so much riding on me.  The days off will do me good.  I
just have to do things in a way that doesn't give me a bad
reputation like Shannen Doherty retained after her role on
'90210' ended.  Now how do I go about that?

	"James," Williamson said, "I need to talk to you, Josh, and
Katie in my office.  We have to go over the upcoming developments
in your characters' love triangle.  Busy, I'll see you and
Michelle tomorrow."

	The series creator and the three stars he had mentioned bade
Michelle and Busy farewell and walked off.  Busy grimaced as they
departed.

	I can't believe they're doing more of that stupid love triangle,
she said to herself.  It's so trite, so cliché.  Joey is Dawson's
best female friend, and Pacey is his best male friend.  He
shouldn't have to choose between them, and the two of them
winding up together would just be lame.  Williamson only put in
that plot because Josh and Katie dated during the show's first
season and he noticed some chemistry between them.  That's long
over now, though, and Joey's with Dawson!  Why can't he just let
them stay together and be happy?  Why do TV dramas always have to
put tension in their relationships?  Why?

	"There they go again," Michelle said, grimacing at their
retreating co-stars just as deeply.  Her character had also been
a target for Dawson's and Pacey's affections.  Jen's romantic
subplots with them were apparently over, though.  A relationship
between Pacey and Busy's character Audrey was just beginning, and
Busy knew from the scripts that as a couple they would not last
that long.  "It makes you feel sick, doesn't it?"

	"Yep," Busy concurred.  "You'd think by now they could find
another way to draw in the viewers."

	"Tell me about it," Michelle fumed.  She ran a hand through her
hair and put a hand on her hip, glaring after Williamson and the
others.  The other actress turned back to Busy when they were out
of sight.  "I'm glad we're finished.  Today was nuts and tomorrow
will be just like it.  You want to go back to the dressing room
for a while and work on our lines?"

	"Sure," Busy replied.

	I can probably use the practice, she thought as she followed
Michelle to the single dressing room they shared with Katie. 
Michelle kept talking as they went, discussing how she was
relieved that the tensions of Dawson and Pacey's relationships
with Jen and Joey had not much affected her own friendships with
Katie, Josh, and James.  She also mentioned how the relationship
with her current boyfriend was going.  Busy listened with only
half an ear, still pondering how to get Williamson to notice her
frustration and care.

	I also broke up with my boyfriend last week, she recalled, and I
don't want to talk or even think about him.  I told him that if
my character is popular enough on this show, I might pose for the
men's magazines 'Stuff' and 'Maxim' and get some hearts
throbbing.  Like an idiot, he told me I'd better not do that
since my body was his alone.  Doesn't he know how good racy photo
shoots can be for an actress?  I am so glad I kicked him to the
curb.

	Michelle chose that moment to ask her if she was still dating
her boyfriend.  Busy sighed and answered that she was not without
saying why.  Michelle nodded and looked her up and down, smiling
suggestively.  Why do you do that so much? Busy mused, frowning.
That and stare at me.  If I didn't know you were straight from
all your talk about boyfriends, I could swear you keep checking
me out.

	She stopped as that thought hit her.  An idea was sparking in
her mind.  No, Busy said to herself at first, it's too awful.

	"But what if it works?" she asked herself in the next instant.

	"What?"

	"Nothing," Busy replied, waving her hand in noncommittal.  She
had realized too late that she'd spoken aloud.

	I can't do it, she told herself.  Even if Michelle's not
straight, I am.  Yes, I have kissed girls before, but it was all
playing around and practicing for kissing boys during slumber
parties.  That and one onscreen lesbian kiss I had to do in my
last film.  None of it was serious.  It doesn't matter that a
couple of my high school girlfriends went lesbian when they hit
college.  It doesn't matter that I am pretty sure Erika
Christensen wanted me bad when I kissed her during 'Home Room'
either.  Our characters didn't go farther than that kiss, and
neither did we.  I am straight.  I like boys.

	Michelle had gotten ahead of her, Busy noticed.  She ran her
eyes over the other girl's backside, feeling a little weak in the
knees as she looked at Michelle's firm legs and shoulders.

	I like boys, she told herself again.  I turned Erika down when
she came on to me after our kiss, even though if I were gay I
would totally go for her.  I would totally go for Michelle too,
and Katie.  But I am not gay.  I am not a lesbo.

	That doesn't mean you can't pretend to be, the thought occurred.
 C'mon, you're an actress!  Just act like you're a lesbian and
see what happens.  Michelle will reject you for sure, and then
you'll get what you want when she goes screaming to Williamson. 
He won't want to tell other people about a sexual harassment
scandal on his show.  No one will.  You can end the scandal even
easier than you began it.  It's a good plan.  It has to work.  Do
it!

	Michelle opened the door of their dressing room and stepped
inside.  She paused, looking back at Busy with raised eyebrows. 
Busy frowned and put her hand on her hip as the door closed
behind her.  "What?"

	"Excuse me for asking this," Michelle said, "but why did you
break up with your boyfriend?  I'm curious."

	Great, Busy thought.  She just gave me the perfect opportunity.

	"He was an asshole," she said.  "I told him I wanted to pose for
some soft-core skin mags and he went all 'jealous prick' on me."

	"That sounds like asshole behavior all right."

	Busy shrugged.  "I like girls better anyway."

	"What?" Michelle gaped, staring at her.

	"You heard me," Busy replied.  "I said I like girls better
anyway."  Taking the initiative, she stepped closer to the other
girl.

	Michelle surprised her by smiling and putting her hands on
Busy's shoulders.  "That's great!" she said.  "You know
something?  I like girls too!"

	Shit! Busy barely had time to curse to herself.  Then Michelle
embraced her and kissed her hard on the mouth.

	Busy felt her face go pale, and not just from surprise. 
Michelle's kiss was like none she had felt before.  Her lips were
as soft as any woman's, but their touch was spontaneous and full
of promise.  Busy felt her insides shake as Michelle's lips met
hers.  Shit, she thought again.  Michelle really does want me.  I
guess she's not as straight as I figured she was.  I should have
gotten to know her better and anticipated this.

	Michelle pulled back from their kiss and smiled at Busy.  "What?
 Did I shock you?"

	Busy coughed, unsure how to handle the situation.  "I didn't
know you were into girls."

	"Well, I am," Michelle replied.  "I don't like to advertise it
other than to my friends, but I am into girls.  Now don't you be
telling anyone, okay?"  She waved a finger at Busy.  "I don't
want some crazy fan or the paparazzi finding out about this.  Not
Williamson either.  He's already given Jen a homosexual
boyfriend, and I don't want him thinking that maybe she should
play for the other team too.  We already have a male gay regular,
and I don't want to find out if adding a female means a ratings
dive."

	"I understand," Busy said, hoping she could cut off one of
Michelle's notorious hissy fits.  She raised a palm at the other
woman and took a deep breath to calm herself down.  "This is just
kind of sudden.  I'm sorry."

	"Don't be sorry," Michelle told her.  "Having fun with girls is
worth all the trouble I have to take to hide the fact I like
doing it.  Please don't apologize.  Just kiss me again."

	Before Busy could complain, Michelle was once more embracing
her.  She kissed Busy harder this time and pulled their bodies
together.  The close heat and softness of Michelle activated
something in Busy's brain.  Without conscious thought, she found
herself returning the kiss with equal fervor.  Her arms came up
and around Michelle, pulling their bodies further into each
other.  Michelle's eager eyes smiled as their hug deepened.  Then
Busy's lips opened, and Michelle's tongue was touching hers.

	Whoa, Busy said to herself as they licked at each other's
mouths.  I can't be doing this.  It feels so good, but I can't be
doing it!  What the hell...

	A loud gasp shattered the moment.  Busy and Michelle pulled
their lips apart and turned to see Katie standing in the open
dressing room doorway.  She had a hand on her mouth and a very
startled look on her face.

	Salvation, Busy thought at once.  Michelle may not object to
lesbian sexual harassment, but for sure good little girl Katie
will.

	"What's the matter?" she asked the brunette, chuckling.  "Do you
like what you see?"

	Katie said nothing.  Instead, she entered the room and closed
the door behind her.  After locking it, she turned back to Busy
and nodded.  "Yes, I do.  Very much.  Mind if I join you guys?"

	Busy did not have time to protest.  Katie stepped close to her
and Michelle and gave them both a sly smile.  Then she leaned in,
put her hands on Busy's face, and kissed Busy on the lips with
emotion equal to Michelle's.  Her lips were softer in texture,
but Busy could feel the meaning behind them.

	No way, she gaped.  I can't believe Katie's a lesbian too.  I've
gotten closer to her than I have to Michelle since our characters
are supposed to be friends and roommates, but she never gave me a
hint once.  She's also in love with that young actor Chris Klein,
or so I assumed until now.  What have I gotten myself into?

	She noticed too late that her mouth was open again.  Katie's
tongue was raking along her teeth.  Busy turned from Michelle's
embrace and put her hands on Katie's shoulders.  Katie giggled
against her lips and pulled Busy closer to her, thinking that her
passions were returned.  Busy obliged her for a few seconds,
hesitating out of surprise and indecision.  Then she pushed Katie
away and stepped back from both her and Michelle.  She opened her
mouth to address them, but found herself too embarrassed to
speak.  Busy hoped her face was clearly asking what was going on
with the other two actresses.

	Katie answered her by looking at Michelle and beaming.  "This is
great!" she said.  "How long have we been waiting for someone new
to be with us?"

	"Since Meredith left at the end of last season," Michelle
replied.  "Two girls are great, but three is much better."  She
gave her fellow blonde another dazzling smile.  "Welcome to our
club, Busy."

	Oh no, Busy thought, grimacing.  She took another deep breath,
trying to get her heart to stop throbbing in her chest.  "You two
get it on together?" she finally managed to say.

	"Yeah," Katie answered with a nod.  She stepped close to
Michelle and gave her a friendly hug.  Both women grinned at
Busy.  "You already know not to tell Williamson, right?"

	Busy nodded, still shocked.  I have to get out of this, she told
herself.  Where's my exit strategy?

	She held up her hands and looked at the other two actresses. 
"Michelle, Katie, I'm really sorry.  I didn't mean anything by
what I just did."

	Michelle's face took on a confused and angry expression.  "What?
 You just came on to us!"

	"Yeah," Katie chimed in.  "You kissed me really good just now
too.  Did you lie to us or something?"

	"Yes," Busy said.  I better confess, she decided.  I can see no
better course of action.  "I lied to you.  I'm not a lesbian."

	Michelle crossed her arms and glared.  "You just told me you
like girls better than boys.  Why would you lie to us like this,
Busy?"

	Seeing a glare of equal strength from Katie, Busy took a breath
and replied.  "I was hoping one of you would freak out and go
running to Williamson.  I thought that if he thought our schedule
was stressing me out enough to do something like this, I could
get a few personal days."

	Katie and Michelle stared at her for a long instant, mouths wide
open.  Then both dropped their arms to their sides and burst out
laughing.

	"Guys," Busy said with a frown, "this isn't funny."

	"Are you kidding?" Michelle asked, slapping her thigh.  "This is
the funniest thing I've ever heard.  I've gotten some whacked
denials from girls in my time, but nothing like this!"

	"Yeah, Busy," Katie agreed.  "You're hilarious!"

	"I wasn't joking!"  Busy rolled her eyes, staring at them.

	Her co-stars stopped laughing and glanced at each other.  Then
they walked over to Busy and each put a hand on her shoulder. 
Busy raised her eyebrows, grimacing as her gaze locked with
Michelle's.

	"You really haven't done anything with other girls?" Michelle
asked.  "Ever?"

	Busy nodded in confirmation.  "I've only kissed them, and it was
all just playing until now."

	Michelle and Katie looked at each other again.  "Well, I think
you like girls," Katie said.  "You're just afraid to indulge
yourself.  You really shouldn't be.  How did you think we coped
with all our show's difficulties?"

	Busy gave them another frown.  "Are you saying you two fuck each
other for stress relief?"  She had heard that some actors
indulged in such practices but never encountered it before now.

	"Yeah," Michelle answered.  "I've been working my way up to
asking you to join us for a while.  It's been obvious to me that
you need some of what Katie and I give each other.  Katie agreed,
but she was the first to get Meredith, so we decided it was my
turn."

	Damn it! Busy thought, looking at them.  They're telling me
they're both secret lesbians, and so is Meredith Monroe, another
actress who was on this show until last spring.  I don't believe
this.  They've also been coming on to me.  I saw the hints, but I
wasn't ready for them.  Now I've embarked on a foolish plan, and
here we are.  I have been such an imbecile.

	"I am really sorry, guys," she said, waving her hands in a
peaceful gesture.  "Can you forgive me?"

	Katie looked at Michelle.  Both frowned and shook their heads. 
"I don't think so," Katie said.  "What you did was pretty low."

	"It was," added Michelle.  "I don't think we should leave you
feeling stressed out either.  Tell you what, why don't you just
drop the denial and be with us both right now?  You can find out
once and for all whether you like girls or not."

	Busy gaped in surprise at the offer.  Are they trying to convert
me?  She shook her head, her mind once again full of warring
emotions.  Michelle and Katie were very pretty, she told herself,
and both were good friends who seemed to care about her more than
she had figured.  Busy had no doubt their regimen for stress
relief would do the job, and their kisses had been very tempting.

	I don't know if I want to do it, though, she said to herself.  I
may be free now, but if I take this step, what will it mean? 
They both have boyfriends, and yet they cheat on them with each
other.  If I let Katie and Michelle fuck me, will that make me a
slut too?

	She looked at the door, then at the other two women.  Michelle
and Katie both wore expressions of patient promise.  Busy
realized that the issue between them would not go away.  To her
surprise, she also found that she did not want it to vanish. 
I've never had a chance like this before, she mused.  I think
that if I turned it down, part of me would always be
disappointed.

	"Alright," she said finally, sighing and giving her co-stars a
direct glare.  "But this is my first time.  If I don't like what
you do to me, we never do it again and you don't tell anyone."

	"I don't have a problem with that," Michelle replied.  "Katie?"

	"No problem whatsoever," Katie said.  "You'll enjoy this, Busy.
We promise."

	Somehow, I doubt that, Busy thought.  Then her insides turned to
mush again as Michelle and Katie stepped towards her.  Michelle
embraced Busy first and kissed her, then moved aside so Katie
could do the same.  Busy relaxed and gave in to their actions. 
She was committed, she told herself.  No backing out.

	The other girls' kisses were as soft and warm as before, but now
there was a surety behind them.  Each girl opened her lips and
thrust her tongue forward.  Busy admitted the organs and licked
at them with her own tongue.  She noticed how female tongues
moved with a slower tenderness than male.  The same was true for
the two pairs of female hands on her body.  Katie and Michelle
each took a side of her torso and rubbed her stomach and tits. 
Each caress of their fingers enlivened something under her skin.

	Damn it, Busy mused, feeling her nipples harden and a dampness
form inside her pussy.  I am enjoying this.  I've dreamed about
it a few times, but I always push the fantasies away.  Maybe I
shouldn't have been rejecting them.  Am I meant for this?  Is
that why no guy so far has really satisfied me?  Am I really a
lesbian?

	Katie and Michelle pulled back from her and turned to kiss each
other.  Busy watched them and felt her insides quake.  Just go
with it, she told herself.  She felt an ache between her thighs
and knew she had to have it addressed.

	Michelle stepped back from Busy and Katie and pulled her sweater
over her head.  She then unbuttoned her pants and pushed them
down.  Her bra and panties were white lace.  The blonde's legs
were very slim and firm and her breasts were small with wide tan
nipples Busy could see through her bra.  She felt her heart lurch
again as Michelle tossed her sweater aside and kicked off her
shoes and pants.

	Katie coughed, and Busy turned to see that the brunette had
unbuttoned her shirt and pushed it open.  Katie was not wearing a
bra, and her small dark-nippled breasts stood at attention.  She
undid her fly and pushed her pants down, revealing a pair of
black panties and pale legs built up from regular jogging.  Katie
then shrugged her top off her shoulders and stepped out of her
pants and shoes.

	"Do you want to get naked too, Busy?" Katie asked.  "Or do you
want us to help you?"

	Busy's face went red.  I might as well, she decided.  Grabbing
the edges of her black blouse, she pulled the garment over her
head and threw it aside.  She then unbuttoned her jeans and
pushed them off, all the while keeping her eyes on her smiling
co-stars.  Busy's bra was black and her panties were bright
crimson.  She reached behind her torso and unhooked her bra, then
discarded it to reveal her large pink-nippled breasts.  Busy
stroked her tits self-consciously.  Michelle and Katie had seen
her undressing before, but never with sexual connotations. 
Seeing no change in expression from either of them, she dropped
her hands and pushed her underwear off.

	"Shaved," Katie said with a smile, looking at Busy's pussy. 
"Very nice."  She took off her own panties, revealing an equally
shaved cunt.  Busy looked at Michelle and saw that her fellow
blonde had also discarded her undergarments.  A heart-shaped
clump of honey hair sprouted between her legs.

	This isn't the first time I've seen them naked, Busy told
herself.  We share a dressing room, and I've compared my body to
theirs.  I didn't think we would ever be together like this,
though.  What do I do now?

	Katie and Michelle again took up position on either side of her.
 "Let's lie down," Michelle suggested.  Katie nodded.  Busy
shrugged and let the other two women take her hands and lower her
to the room's blue carpet.  They lay down on either side of her
and moved in to touch her tits.

	"Relax," Michelle said in a calm tone.  "You can stop us at any
time.  Just tell us if you don't like what we're doing."

	I do like what you're doing, Busy replied in her thoughts.  She
felt another blush creep over her skin.

	Katie and Michelle kissed her cheeks, then the sides of her
neck.  They then moved their heads farther down along her throat
and torso.  Their fingers moved in accompaniment, stroking Busy's
nerves and pinching her aureoles.  Busy gasped when they each
kissed and started sucking at one of her breasts, Michelle on her
left and Katie on her right.  Their breath was hot against her
skin, and their motions were insistent.  She could never remember
sex feeling so good.

	Michelle moved back and forth between her breasts, licking the
nipples and cleavage.  Katie kissed each nipple and moved on
down, her fingers fondling Busy's legs.  They skirted close to
her pussy, circling its outer edges.  Busy grimaced, wondering if
another girl's fingers would feel different in there than her
own.  She separated her legs in preparation, hoping she would
soon find out.

	Katie noticed the movement and smiled.  "Wait a second," she
advised.  "Let us set the pace here."  Michelle nodded between
sucks of Busy's breasts, and Busy knew she would have to give in.

	Women's sexual touches feel so different from men's, Busy
reflected.  Katie and Michelle were less rough than her
boyfriends were, and they lingered more on her points of
sensitivity.  The speed and pressure with which guys usually
loved her had its charms, but she often had to ask them to slow
things down a bit.  Katie and Michelle seemed to have an instinct
for what she liked, though, and Busy found herself appreciating
their dalliance.  She gasped and smiled as the other women's
hands aroused her nerves.

	I guess I really am lesbian, she mused.  I think I could get to
like it.

	Katie's tongue flicked in her navel just then, and Busy gasped.
The brunette chuckled and moved on to buff her inner thighs. 
Michelle moved in counterpoint, her fingers and tongue arousing
every nerve in Busy's upper torso.  Busy's body was shaking like
a leaf, juices raining out of her insides.  Katie smelled them
and moved her lips over Busy's cunt.

	"Ahh!" Busy screamed, feeling Katie's tongue penetrate her
straight to the core.  Katie also pushed two fingers into Busy,
tickling her clit and vulva.  Busy gasped.  No one had ever eaten
her with such skill and sensation.  Katie's tongue was like a
soft serpent, and its every movement sparked another wave of
pleasure in her loins.  It wasn't long before she felt an
especially large wave rise.  Here we go, Busy said to herself. 
One, two...

	"Augh!" she cried in triumph.  "I'm coming!"

	Katie grinned at her cunt, sucking down a torrent of juices that
flooded out of Busy.  Michelle's lips left her tits and moved
back up to Busy's mouth.  The two blondes kissed again, and this
time Busy was fully eager and loving it.  Her tongue sparred with
Michelle's, her body shaking as Katie continued to lick and
finger her pussy.  Only when she calmed down with a final gasp
did the brunette pull out and move her body up alongside that of
the other two girls.

	Busy pulled her head away from Michelle and turned to kiss
Katie.  She smiled, tasting a sweet and acrid scent on the other
girl's lips.  That's me, Busy reflected, savoring the taste. 
Wow.  She turned her head and kissed Michelle again, wanting to
give the other girl a sample of her essence.

	Michelle kissed her back and chuckled, licking Busy's cheek. 
She put her hand on Busy's snatch and stroked it.  "You're a
firecracker," Michelle said.  "Did you like how we made you pop?"

	Finding herself unable to form words again, Busy could only nod
and give her a fervent smile.  Her pussy was sore now, but very
pleased with the new sensations of another woman's caress.  Busy
gasped, her legs flexing around Michelle's fingers as they moved
back and forth.  Her hands were shaking too, and she wondered if
they would ever be still again.

	"Why don't you touch us?" Katie suggested.

	Should I, Busy questioned.  That would be the final step over
the line.  Never mind, I'm taking it.

	She raised her hands and grabbed hold of Katie's tits, fondled
and stroked the nipples.  The other woman's breasts felt like her
own, but different in heat and texture.  Busy moved one hand off
Katie and put it on Michelle's breasts, noting that they felt
about the same.

	Both are good, she decided.  Their nipples are hard, and I like
the feeling in them.  No man could ever feel like this.

	She moved her hands on, exploring their bodies and locating
points of sensitivity.  Katie and Michelle directed her with
their own hands and whispers, nodding and moaning frequently. 
Busy caressed their tits, legs, stomachs, arms, and shoulders. 
The other girls' bodies tingled under her fingers.  She found
herself to be a fast learner and smiled as she brought redness
and sweat to her new lovers' skin.

	Both of her co-stars were moving their hands across Busy and
each other as well, increasing their arousal.  They each fell
into new positions.  Michelle moved down to Busy's slit, wanting
a shot at what Katie had done earlier.  Katie meanwhile knelt and
positioned her legs on either side of Busy's head.  She pointed a
finger at her own cunt.

	Okay, Busy decided, I'll touch you there if you want me to.  She
put two fingers on Katie's core and gasped, feeling the wet heat
of an excited woman other than herself.  Busy smiled as Katie's
pussy shook around her fingers.  It was a warm soft territory as
familiar as her own cunt, but different enough to excite her. 
She moved her digits to the top, pulled Katie's clit out of its
hood, and pinched it hard.

	Michelle started licking Busy as Katie moaned.  Used to the
sensations now, Busy twisted her hips in accompaniment.  She felt
her soreness vanish, her juices again increasing.  "Love me,
Michelle," she begged.  Catching her feelings, the other actress
licked harder at her slit.

	Busy sighed and added a third finger to the two she had inside
Katie.  She kept her other hand on the brunette's thigh, stroking
it and holding Katie's groin in place.  Katie was tense around
Busy's fingers and shaking hard, but her lubrication kept Busy's
fingers from getting twisted or trapped. The brunette was rubbing
her own nipples and Busy's while Busy thrust her digits into her
cunt, crying out her passion.  She then dropped a hand to her ass
and stuck a finger inside.

	Hmm, Busy thought, watching Katie gasp and vibrate at the
entrance.  That looks interesting.  A couple of guys have done
that to me, and I've always enjoyed it.

	She pulled her hand out of Katie's cunt and raised it to the
other girl's lips, inviting the brunette to taste her own juices.
 Busy's other hand meanwhile grabbed the wrist of Katie's hand on
her butt and shoved it aside.  Katie shivered, noticing the
motions.  Then she screamed as Busy's finger penetrated her rear.

	Oh, Busy noted, you like that, huh?  She laughed and dropped her
unoccupied hand from Katie's face.  She pumped her finger in
Katie's tight rear end twice, watching the brunette shake at the
motions.  Her own legs clenched, Michelle's head locked between
them.  Busy could feel Michelle's tongue lashing her insides,
sucking up the fluid her fingers stroked out.

	Hmm, Busy mused again.  She put her fingers that had Katie's
juice on them at her lips and licked.  The taste was salty and
warm, like her own nectar but different.  Busy at once grabbed
Katie's thighs and moved the source of that wonderful flavor over
her mouth.

	"Suck me!" Katie hissed, looking down at her and grinning. 
"Suck me, Busy!"

	Busy nodded and parted her lips.  She breathed on Katie's cunt,
unsure how to go about licking her.  I'll just try to do what I
like, she decided.  She extended her tongue and swept it around
the other girl's labia in circles, homing in on the center.  Busy
also took a regular pause now and then to flick her tongue
against Katie's clit.

	I must be doing it right, she reflected when Katie moaned and
screamed.  She squeezed the brunette's thighs and ass to heighten
Katie's sensations.  Michelle was meanwhile tickling Busy's legs
and sending tingles up her spine.

	Katie cried out a long note, and Busy felt pride swell within
her.  An instant later, the brunette came and squirted honey down
Busy's throat.  Wow, Busy reflected, swallowing it.  I should
have done this years ago.  She closed her own legs tight around
Michelle's head, wanting to climax again herself.

	Michelle picked up on the need and chuckled.  She stroked Busy's
thighs, teasing the edges of her cunt lips.  Her tongue tapped on
Busy's clit, running across the underside.  Busy hunched her legs
and then released another orgasm harder than her first had been.
Michelle beamed in happiness as she swallowed its fruits.

	Katie took hold of Busy's wrists as her body stopped shaking. 
She pushed the other girl's hands off her and got to her feet,
then looked at Michelle.  "You two play together for a while,"
Katie said.  "I'll be right back."

	Michelle nodded and moved her body up against Busy's as Katie
walked away.  Busy felt herself shake close to climax again at
the feel of their bare torsos rubbing together.  Michelle's arms
encircled her and they kissed her hard.  She stroked Busy's hair
with her fingers while her lips spread juice over her face.  Busy
gasped for breath when Michelle at last pulled back.

	"Can I taste you too?" she asked, abandoning all inhibitions. 
"You haven't come yet."

	"Go right ahead," Michelle replied.  She got on her knees and
moved her cunt over Busy's face.

	Busy put her hands on Michelle's thighs to hold them still. 
Then she opened her mouth and put it against the other woman's
core, breathing heavily as she started to lick.  She also
inserted two fingers and moved them in counterpoint to her
tongue.  Busy compared the taste and feel of Michelle's pussy to
Katie's and her own.  There were differences, but they were only
added spice.  There was a sweet warmth in Michelle's essence that
Busy liked a lot, but her juice was not quite as flavored as
Katie's had been.

	I still want to taste more of it, Busy decided, slurping at
Michelle's clit.  She swallowed a stream of juice and rubbed
Michelle's thighs, keeping the other woman's pussy poised above
her mouth.

	Michelle gazed back at her with a smile.  With her breasts and
hair hanging down, it was a very tempting sight.  She put her
hands on Busy's arms and again guided her fingers to key
positions.  Busy nodded in thanks, blinking her eyes as she
continued to suck down juice.  She wanted to take things slow, as
she liked, but she could also sense that Michelle was very
aroused.  I shouldn't hold off that long, Busy said to herself. 
Then Michelle gasped, and she knew she would not have to.

	"Yes!" Michelle declared, sharp and sure.  Her body vibrated
against Busy and she exuded a light wave of fluid.  Busy sucked
it down, Michelle's cunt hair tickling her nose.  She also put
two fingers on the other actress's clit and pinched it.  Michelle
cried out again and then collapsed, shaking.  Busy moved
alongside her as she rolled away, scraping Michelle's body
against her own and licking her lips.

	"How did you get into this anyway?" Busy asked Michelle after
she had calmed down and they kissed again.  "Before now, I've
only kissed girls as practice for kissing boys or when I was
acting."

	"I read a lot," Michelle said.  "Some of the books I've read
have been about women loving each other.  My best friend and I
both read the same book on that subject when we were young, and
we decided to try it out.  We liked what we did and decided to
keep doing it.  I've had a few other girls since.  One you might
know is Christina Ricci.  She and I roomed together while we
filmed 'Prozac Nation'.  We fucked each other every chance we
got."

	"I went to an all-girls Catholic school," Katie added from
nearby.  Busy turned to see the brunette kneeling beside them
holding a long pink plastic cylinder.  "There weren't many
opportunities for boys to teach us pleasure.  I undressed beside
other girls for plays and modeling, and some of us got curious. 
I've been with Michelle and Meredith, and also Sarah Polley when
we filmed 'Go'."  She smiled with obvious treasured memory. 
"What about you, Busy?  Has there ever been a famous girl you've
wanted?"

	"One," Busy said, thinking of Erika.  "Maybe we can get together
if I ever see her again."

	"I hope so," Michelle said.  "I also hope we can get Meredith
back on the show one of these days.  I know she'd love to be with
you."

	"I'd love to be with her too," Busy replied.  She had accepted
her new sexuality now, and gladly decided to adopt the level of
promiscuity she'd heard some lesbians displayed.  "I have to
thank you two.  You've shown me a side of myself I didn't want to
acknowledge."

	"No problem," Katie said.  "We were happy to do it."

	Busy sighed, looking at them.  "I guess I have to give up having
children now, and marrying someone."

	Michelle frowned.  "What are you talking about?"

	"Well," Busy said with a shrug, "I've just discovered I'm a
lesbian."

	"You liked boys before, though," Michelle replied.  "Do you
still?"

	Busy paused, forced to think about it.  She concluded that
something inside her did still long for a man's touches.  Katie
and Michelle were good, but the way they made her feel was
different from the way a man did.  She longed for both.  The
knowledge was strange.  "I... I do," she stammered.  "I do still
like them."

	"That's fine," Michelle said, laughing.  "Did you think for some
reason it was not okay to like both girls and boys?"

	"Michelle and I are that way, and Meredith also," said Katie. 
"We invite Josh, Kerr, and James to our club whenever we feel we
need a cock.  Chris has come too, and a couple of Michelle's
boyfriends."

	Busy stared at them in disbelief.  She had not considered such a
possibility.  "So you just fuck whoever?"

	"Whoever wants us and who we think will be good for us,"
corrected Michelle.  "We don't want any assholes or losers. 
Don't worry about what this might do to your career, Busy.  A lot
of great actors and actresses are bisexual.  The real powers in
Hollywood know that and are used to it, even if the public and
the media aren't yet."

	She chuckled.  "Guys also like bi-girls-- the good ones anyway.
I've known a few girls who only like other girls, but I'm not one
of them.  I want to find a good man someday and have a beautiful
child with him."

	"I want that too," Katie agreed.  "I want to have a little girl
and give her an exotic name.  Something unique that people will
always remember."

	Busy smiled.  She too had such hopes for her future.  They were
far away now, though.  Everything in the present was shiny and
new.

	Katie pecked her cheek, calling her back to it.  "What were you
thinking about?" the brunette asked with a grin.

	"Nothing," Busy replied.  "I was just going over in my head all
that's happened just now.  So many surprises."  She sighed. 
"Michelle was right when she said that this show has put me under
a lot of stress.  Losing my boyfriend did too, I think.  It had
to happen, but it still disappointed me."

	"Well, you can find someone new," Michelle suggested.  "Maybe
that hunk you were talking to earlier."

	Busy blinked, then recalled Marc and smiled.  I think I've found
the solution to my problems he mentioned, she said to herself. 
It was not what I expected and solved a lot more of my problems
than I thought it would, but I'm happy I found it.  I think I
will keep being the new me.  As for dating Marc, well, he was
cute and into me, so I guess it could happen, if he's okay with
who I am now.

	"Maybe," she replied to Michelle.  "I don't know, though.  I'm
not ready to commit again just yet.  I think I want to take
things slow for a few months."

	"Well, I hope you can stay with us a while," Michelle said.  She
put her hands on Busy's breasts and flicked her nipples. 
"There's a lot more ways girls can get it on that we want to
teach you."

	"Yeah," added Katie.  "Like how to use one of these."  She
presented the cylinder in her hand to Busy and pushed a button on
the side that started it vibrating.  Busy smiled, recognizing the
object.  She had a smaller one of her own in her bedside table
drawer back home.

	"Are you going to use that on me?" she asked Katie, grinning.

	The brunette nodded.  "And how."  She placed the tip of the
cylinder against Busy's cunt and pushed it inside.  Busy gasped,
taking its length within.  Michelle moved down over her, pushing
her breasts against Busy's lips and inviting her to suck on them.

	Busy opened her mouth and took the hint, fully in tune with her
impulses.  I am comfortable with my desires and myself, she
reflected, in a way I can never remember being before.  I am so
pleased.  She flicked the tips of Michelle's nipples with her
tongue and bit them with her teeth.

	Katie pushed Michelle aside and offered Busy her own breasts. 
Busy licked the dark nipples, smiling as she noted their rough
texture and taste.  She also accepted Katie's fingers caressing
her face and her other hand pushing the vibrator into Busy's
pussy.  Michelle's hands were fondling Busy's curves, and Busy
returned her touches by rubbing Michelle's legs.

	As their play went on, they moved to new positions and
established a mutual rhythm.  Each varied the intensity and speed
of their caresses, Katie using a switch to do the same with her
toy.  Busy gasped under the onslaught of pleasure, rolling around
on the carpet.  Michelle and Katie were also moaning and smiling,
their bodies suffused with joy.

	I wonder what Kerr's like at this, Busy said to herself as she
kissed and touched her fellow actresses.  I want to get with
James too, and Josh.  If they're any bit as good at sex as my
female co-stars, I know I'll be fucking them quite often.  I'll
be with Meredith also, if and when she comes back; and Marc, if
he really does like me.

	I think I can handle this show now, Busy realized with her next
deep breath.   Whatever trials it gives me, my friends and I will
face them together and work out the tension with each other in
the best way there is.

	With a smile, Busy accepted the touch of both Katie and
Michelle's lips on her own.  Then she resumed her task of getting
them off, once again living up to her name.

***
The End.
