The Cooking Central Channel has cancelled the invitation for Rae (Vienna) and Dan to come to New York City. It is interesting that she feels that she has received so many disappointments recently that she kind of doesn't care anymore.
Dan Schneider seems to have receive this news as well. And he calls her as soon as possible.
"Hey, Rae, how are you?"
"I'm OK. Are you calling because of the cancellation?"
"Well, yeah. I am sorry. I know you wanted to go and show them your cooking and baking skills."
"Thanks for saying that. But, if it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be."
Dan clears his voice, and then he can be heard as if he is taking a long breath, "I want to say something, but I'm trying very hard not to say it."
She finds that interesting, "What is it? Just say it. I'm trying out a new persona now. Nothing will hurt me and nothing will surprise me now."
Dan chuckles, "Haha, you are trying a new persona? Well, you have to tell me more about that? Maybe we can get together."
"Sure. But tell me what is it that you want to say?"
"Well, just know I'm saying this only out of my own thinking objectively, not because I know you or have any personal-- "
"Gosh, Dan, just tell me!" She impatiently raises her voice.
"Wow, you do seem to change into a new personality indeed. You used to be so mild manner with me. OK," Dan laughs again, "I wanted to say, I think Wes was a jerk... well, still a big jerk for not standing up for you."
"What do you mean?" She asks.
"Because, that rumor about how we won the competition unfairly because he knows you and such. He could've clarified it and said it had nothing to do with knowing you, and that he was only just one of the judges. His score wouldn't have been able to make all that huge difference. I wish he could at least said that for you. Then, the New York invitation to the Cooking Central Channel wouldn't have been cancelled." Dan says.
Now, she feels like crying. Dan is right. But, no. She is a new woman now. Nothing to cry about.
"Hey, Dan, thank you for saying that. That already means so much to me. And, do me a favor, I don't want to hear that person's name ever again. Just don't even mention him."
"Sure. So, let's change the topics. New you, huh?"
"Yes. Call me Vienna. I'm going by my first name now."
"Nice. We should meet up. And see how much you have changed."

Dan asks her out to come to a bar where they can play pool. To be honest, Vienna doesn't really like playing pool. But Dan makes playing pool an activity to flirt with her and to touch her body.
Dan leans close to her whenever it's Vienna's turn to shoot the ball. He would try to teach her how to aim. His arms overlaps her arms. His lower body closely presses against her.
At first, Vienna doesn't pay to much attention. But, she is slowly picking up the hint. She is not a feminist or anything. She doesn't mind Dan using this as an excuse to try to flirt with her.
When they finally finish the game, Vienna pulls Dan's collar to get his head to lower to meet hers.
"Hey. You want to come to my place?"
Dan then kisses her ear, "Thought you'd never ask."
They go back to her apartment, quickly start to take off their clothes. Dan surprises her by grabbing her from behind. And he starts to tease her by rubbing his thing against her.
"Hmm. You are wet already."
"And you still want to tease me?" She asks.
"Teasing is the best. I'm going to just do the tip, and see who wants more first."
Dan inserts his tip into her, and pulls back. He repeats such rhythm, which is driving her crazy. It feels so damn good. She is focusing on the pleasure, and she doesn't even care about anything anymore.
"Oh, damn, you feel so good, Vienna," Dan bends down and hugs her from behind, continue to go in and out slowly. It feels so slippery down there.
And finally, Dan is the one who can't take it anymore.
"I want to go in more."
"Looks like you lose."
"Yes. I lose. You are too good. I have to go deeper."
Dan then pulls out entirely one more time, and then inserts it fully but slowly.
"Ohhh."
"Ohhh, oh f**k, this feels so good, ohhh." Dan strokes her back with one hand. And another hand holding her waist, helping himself going deeper into her.
*** ***
Dan leaves soon after their intercourse as usual. Vienna doesn't even mind anymore.
She opens her laptop, and trying to get some ideas what she can do if she wants to sell her products.
"Z!" She calls out.
"Yes."
"Do you think I should start selling my own products?"
"Of course. You can still make bread and sell it online. I think it's worth a try."
She creates an account on Wind Chime and starts listing.

Zach hears the news of her not going to New York City anymore, he wants to do something for her. He remembers his mom and his sister love the bread she makes. So he decides that he'd like to ask Rae.... Vienna, as she likes to go by these days, to do catering for his pitch meeting in a week.
Zach is nervous. He looks at his watch and wonders if it will be a good time to call her right now. It's already midnight.
