Let me start off by saying it's been a long weekend... My Home Girl Serena came out to visit, check out the LA scene... Now, before I go into this story let me give you some background about the characters in this dramatic story..lol.
-Serena & Carla are sisters from back East.
-Carla's friend named Andrea lives in N. Hollywood, CA.
-Andrea "INVITED" both Serena & Carla to stay with her while they visited Cali.
-Andrea's sister and friend were coming out the same dates as well.
(As you can tell from the introduction, this tale will be one of suspense and drama)
Day 1
Serena & Carla arrive at LAX and I'm excited to pick them up. The 'Plan' was to pick them up and take them to Andrea's house to drop off their stuff...that didn't work out. Andrea took off to the beach the day the girls were coming in. We decided to grab a bite to eat and catch up in the meantime while we waited for Andrea to get back. Some how along the way to lunch one of my brakes decide to FALL OFF of my car without warning. Couldn't believe it....
4 hours later we got sick of waiting for Andrea and decided to go to the beach and meet up with her. While on the beach, I get the news that not only did Ed Macmahon and Farrah Fawcett die but the 'King of Pop' passed. We eventually concluded the night with dinner and I dropped the ladies off at Andrea's place.
Day 2
My brakes started smoking on the way home last night so in the mourning I took my car to Pep Boys to get the problem fixed. Come to find out that the problem was $700.... awesome. While my car was getting worked on I get a call from Serena that Andrea had left them somewhere in Hollywood at the salon... She just took off leaving them with no way off getting around or back to Andrea's apartment.... Serena is pissed and Carla is confused, this is supposed to be her best friend. Carla calls the girl to find out how they are going to get back to the house. She says "I'm about a 30 minutes away so why don't you get a cab or get Vaughn to pick you up." Now, I would have picked them up in a heartbeat but It would have taken me an hour to get there plus my car was still in the shop. So eventually Andrea gets off her ass and picks up the girls and 1hr and 30 mins later.
I don't get my car back for about for about another 2 hours and I'm trying to get to LA from Aliso Viejo around 4pm. If you know about Cali traffic, you know this hour drive became a 2 hour drive. While in traffic I get a call from Serena that they need to wait outside for me to get there, huh? ....I guess Andrea is leaving with her sis and friend and they can't wait in the house. This just can't get any better... So I finally get there around 8 and the Serena & Carla are outside with their suite cases. We deceided that it would probably better if we all got a hotel room together just insure that they had a place to sleep for the night. We found a Best Western and called it a night.
Day 3
We wake up and hit the Hollywood Blvd. Boy, did we have a great time. We hit the wax museum, Serena got to take pix with Marilyn Monroe's star, we got to see Michael's as well, we also caught a showing of Transformers. All in all, it was a good day. No problems except for trying to get into the club "My House". We saw THE GAME, NIPSY HUSSLE, RON ARTEST, and Serena almost fainted when DEREK LUKE said hi to her... lol. We spent another night at the hotel
Day 4
The next mourning Andrea decides to come by to pick up the girls and head to Laguna Beach. While they hit the beach me and my boy Young Cee headed back to our house and meet up with them later.
We met back up with the girls around 7 and hit P.F. Changs. We hit the Blvd one more time to get a couple more souvenirs and memories. NOW, this is the juicy part of the whole story so keep up.
On our way back to Andrea's house Carla gets a text from Andrea. The text said "Penny (her dog) fell down the stairs and had a seizure. Im at the animal hospital now and they don't know what's going to happen to Penny."....
Sooooo... we feel bad of course and we head to a Denny's to kill time while Andrea took care of Penny. We grabbed a byte to eat even though none of us were hungry and shared a few laughs. It was around 1 when we thought about grabbing a hotel again but it was best to get back to Andrea's house because the girls luggage was there. So we wait outside of this girls to hear a call back from this girl.... and we wait... and then 1:30 am roles around and my boy Young Cee notices that the window to Andrea's apartment keep changing colors like a TV is on... Serena goes upstairs to check, just to make sure. Come to find out this (Female Dog) is upstairs sleep and her excuse was shefell asleep after coming back from the hospital. She also said that they hept Penny overnight for further testing. The punch line is the dog was under the sheet laying in the bed...... What a great friend right.....
