"Yes, I did enjoy our lunch together." Ava was talking on the phone with a friend, but could barely hear what either of them said. It was because of her sister, Lorelei, sitting across her in the limousine. Lorelei had turned on the music in the family's jet black limousine. Ava wasn't sure if she had done it purposefully to annoy her or if her sister was just too tipsy to consider anything else than herself. She tried to ignore it, as she'd rather miss out on what her friend said than start a fight between her and her sister before they had even arrived at the Decatur gala. They didn't always get along and had earlier fought in public, which she didn't want to experience again.<br/><br/>Her parents were being generally lovey dovey, with her mother sitting in her father's knee. It wasn't an unusual sight for Ava by any means, as she had grown up seeing them like that. They didn't seem to like being apart for too long. Her father was a hulk of a man, with a clean shaved face and wearing a white classy suit. Her mother was noticeably smaller, with red long hair and clad in a blue dress. She was one of the great directors in Hollywood, who many spoke about around the country and possibly even the world. Ava hoped to become like her one day, but as it was now she was nowhere close to it. Her mother did help her out though, by giving her smaller acting roles in some of her movies. It was fun, but she wasn't really passionate about it. It was very important to have passion about your work, so she had been told many times.<br/><br/>Lorelei was head banging by now and Ava wondered if she had turned the volume up. Her sister had decided to wear a questionably short skirt and a fashionable grey shirt. She stood out from the rest of the family. Ava herself wore a beautiful silvery dress, which almost reached her ankles when she stood up. It didn't reveal a lot of her body and she preferred it that way, especially when going to places where the press would be. She cared a bit about her reputation, at least when she was still sober.<br/><br/>She continued talking with her friend, mostly about what they should do the next time they met. The limousine rolled up to the Gemini Palace, where the gala took place and she realized she would have to hang up. "We'll talk tomorrow love, ta ta." Her father had turned off the music, as he didn't want them to cause too much of a commotion. Their driver got out of the limousine and walked around to open the door for them.<br/><br/>"Alright, let's have some fun." That was all her mother said before exiting the car after their father. Lorelei and Ava exited afterwards and tried to keep close to each other, as they walked on the red carpet. Their mother drew most of the attention of the crowd which had gathered, but Lorelei and Ava were also of some interest to them. Eventually they got inside and walked down a staircase, to the sound of someone announcing their entrance.<br/><br/>"Now introducing Mrs and Mr Jackson and their daughters, Lorelei and Ava."<br/><br/>The family descended to the floor and Ava followed her mother, who went looking for a good table to sit at.
