The Princesses and the Pop Star
After their respective jobs on Friday evening, as they did almost every evening, the twins sat down to eat dinner. This time, it was hot wings. Sometimes, they'd talk about what they did at work. Most times, though, they'd talk about happenings in the community.
On this Friday, Anastasia came to the dinner table with some seriously hot gossip. "Alex, you are not going to believe who is in town," began Anastasia. "It's Madison Avenue."
"Oh-em-gee!" exclaimed Alexandra, nearly choking on a hot wing. "She is only THE biggest pop star in Simland. She's HERE?"
Madison Avenue, real name Madison Brooke Westley, shot to fame a year ago on the strength of a runaway hit debut album and subsequent world tour. She'd recently sung during halftime at the SimBowl. In addition, she'd been dating one of Simland's most eligible bachelors, actor Sebastian Plumb, scion of the Plumb musical and entertainment dynasty.
"The rumor is, she met her boyfriend, the actor Sebastian Plumb, right there at Lars Disco Tech while she and her mom were on vacation here last year."
"Wow." Alexandra shook her head. "Sebastian Plumb. Wasn't he in the Zombies? Zombies! movie?"
"Yep that's him. The word on the street is, he caught her cheating on him, and now he's suing for custody of their daughter. And the suit was filed right here in Hidden Springs."
Alexandra sat silently, with an incredulous look pasted on her face. Madison Avenue was in Hidden Springs? "Do you know if she has a concert scheduled here?"
"I can check, sure."
When a star as big as Madison Avenue shows up in tiny little Hidden Springs, it's a media circus. Especially if it's her first public performance since her much-publicized breakup with her actor ex, Sebastian Plumb, and it's happening while the magistrate in Hidden Springs is deciding the fate of their young daughter, Kaydence.
The Port a Party Warehouse was the scene of a private concert given by Madison for the patrons of that club.
The pop superstar arrived through the back door and inspected her dressing room. "I've never seen it like this," she mused, referring to Hidden Springs' blanket of fresh powder. "Colder than I remember, too."
Despite the bone chilling cold and intermittent snow showers, guests arrived at the private club in their swanky limousines. Among the arrivals were the young princesses, who were determined to see Madison perform in concert before she left town.
Sneaking in through another back door, Alexandra watched Madison getting dressed in her dressing room. "Is there something you wanted?" asked Madison.
"Um, I'm sorry, excuse me, I just wanted to get a glimpse of you," Alexandra muttered, "I was just leaving --"
"Do I know you?"
"Um --"
Just then Anastasia emerged. "We're the Princesses of Hidden Springs."
Madison managed a smile. "Oh yeah, and you are?"
"Anastasia."
"Nice to meet you, Anastasia," Madison said, extending her hand warily. "And I assume the girl in the black vest is Alexandra."
"Yep."
"You all have the reality show. Yeah, I've seen it a couple times when I've been on the road."
