Gloria was from a small town, but she wasn't totally naive. She understood that if she didn't look and act like she belonged here, she'd be on a bus back home. She didn't want to fail. She wanted to make her dream come true. And she also wanted to make her parents proud of her. And she certainly did not want to be the known as a failure back home. The girl that failed in Hollywood and had to come crawling back to her parents.<br/><br/>Gloria smiled at Amy.<br/><br/>"That sounds great, thank you. I don't mind digging through boxes."<br/><br/>She was certainly not above wearing hand me downs. She wanted to look the part, but that didn't mean she had to spend a great deal of money on achieving it. Gloria was a firm believer that you could look nice but not break the bank.<br/><br/>Although her smile died down when she saw Amy's smile. It was true, a lot of Hollywood was illusion. And not always the good kind. She sadly nodded her head.<br/><br/>"Yeah, it is."<br/><br/>She agreed and was glad to see the food arrive before the silence got too awkward between them.<br/><br/>"Thank you."<br/><br/>Gloria told Aunt Jo with a smile. When Amy began to talk again, Gloria replied.<br/><br/>"I understand and I don't think you're bitter. You've been here a lot longer then me. Seen more then I have."<br/><br/>And she had finally gotten her first break. Gloria could see why Amy might be a little discouraged. Hopefully the audition would go well for her and Amy would soon be one of Martin Hayes' co-stars. She picked up her water to toast her friend.<br/><br/>"You're right, things will get better. You're going to ace that audition and be in that movie with Martin Hayes. It'll just be the first of many more to come."<br/><br/>Gloria told Amy very confidently. She truly believed her friend was going to get that part. It would be the start of many great things for Amy.
