"You have to do it running,

but you do everything that they ask you to,

cause you don’t mind seeing yourself in a picture."

"Having fun?" Ashley asked with a laugh as she watched Kelly struggle to not squirm.

"One day I'm gonna sit you in this chair and poke and prod on you for eternity. Then you'll see how it feels," Kelly replied as Ashley tried to tame her hair.

"You act like I'm torturing you."

"Me having to sit through this is like you having to go out to a club without a stitch of make-up on."

Ashley gasped.

"Yea," Kelly nodded.

"That's blasphemous."

Kelly laughed, "Told you it isn't fun."

There was a soft knock on the door, and Kelly called out, "Come in."

Carrie poked her head in the door before entering the dressing room, "Hey."

"Hey," Kelly smiled, pulling her into a half hug, surprised by the softness of the country singer's cheek as she pressed it lightly against her own.

Ashley glared at her, and immediately started to inspect her work to make sure Carrie hadn't messed it up.

"It's been a while," Carrie smiled.

"Yea, I've been in Texas."

"I figured," she nodded, sitting in a chair on the side of her. "Alex said that when you weren't here a lot, that meant you were home."

Kelly could only nod carefully as Ashley began to apply lip liner.

"How's the album coming along?"

Kelly gave her a thumb's up, making her laugh.

"Good. I'm glad."

"What about you?" Kelly asked, sighing in relief as Ashley finally stopped. "Everything good?"

"Um, yea, a lot better than the last time I saw you."

"Yea, sorry about that. I didn't mean to just leave, but there was this producer that I had been dying to work with, and he called--"

"Don't worry about it," Carrie interrupted. "Trust me, you did more than enough by just being there for me, and going with me to talk to her parents. Thank you."

"Anytime," she shrugged, giving herself the once over in the mirror.

"Ready to take some pictures?" Carrie smiled, standing.

"Not really," Kelly admitted.

"It'll be fun."

Kelly gave her an unbelieving look.

"I promise," Carrie said, flashing a brilliant smile as she held out her hand for the Texan to take.

Kelly eyed it carefully before linking her own hand with it, "I'm gonna hold you to that."
