    A part of Ace's heart died the day she watched Joker leave her life for Hollywood. Moving on with her own life, she went to UCLA to study drama.

    Three years later finds Ace getting ready for her big show. Surprise! The guest star is Joker. Despite promising to never forget her, the question remains, will he recognize her as the stars align?

      A Memory

      ––––––––

      Don’t cry, Ace, don’t cry, Ian said as he wiped the tears off my cheeks. We’ll see each other again.

      Yeah, maybe. I hiccupped. But when we see each other again, you’ll be famous and won’t remember your best friend.

      I can’t ever forget the girl who schooled me in poker. Ian laughed. Hey, I have an idea!

      Yeah? I sniffled.

      I’ll prove it to you that Hollywood won’t ever change me and you’ll always have Joker. When we see each other again, if I recognize you and call you Ace, you can ask me my deepest secret, which I have never shared with anyone but I’ll tell you.

      I giggled. You mean you still keep secrets from me?

      It’s not only girls who keep secrets. Is that a deal? Ian asked.

      Chapter 1

      On the first night of Christmas, Santa gifted me a bell.

      May! Charla shouted. A little to the left! No, right! Up... Up! Perfect! You can get down now.

      Next time, you’re climbing on that ladder, I said, rubbing my shaking legs. That was way too high.

      Charla shook her head. "Hell no. I’m not a fan of heights. But look at all the hangings you put up. The stage is perfect for our play - Follow the Snowflakes. It has a romantic mood and feels like the holidays. Hey! I love your earring. Only one?"

      I touched the silver bell earring and smiled. It was a gift. I think it goes well with the snowflakes I’m wearing.

      It does. Speaking of snowflakes. Do you think our director invited famous people to see the play? Wouldn’t it be awesome if they would ask who designed the stage and props and hired us for movie sets?

      That’s the dream, right? I bumped my hip against hers. Let’s go check on the lights.

      Funny, do I see the geeks thinking they will get into Hollywood? Vera asked.

      I cringed. Vera and I never got along. She thought she was going to be the next star of Hollywood. I thought she would be the next janitor. Maybe she was the
