Vivio waved at the receptionist at the front desk of her studio and got a small nod back to show that she didn't need to show her I.D. card. The halls were walked down casually and she pulled the strap of her purse back over her shoulder when it almost slipped after she almost ran into someone rounding a corner. A small sniff came and she had to resist the urge to wipe her nose on her sleeve since she was out of tissues.
Walking past her own room, she glanced at her name in the star on the door and smiled pleasantly. Her goal today wasn't work but rather her normal checkup. The office was reached shortly and she knocked on the door before being bid entrance to the small medical room. "Hello Allquall," she greeted the nurse. "I'm here for my monthly check-up."
"You're early, as normal." The woman smiled at Vivio and motioned for her to sit on the cushioned table. "But I'm free so you won't have to wait." The woman got a few of her supplies ready while talking. "You know the drill, off with the shirt." She looked back to see the girl already folding the clothing to sit next to her. "Good girl."
"Mou, I'm not a kid." She stuck out her tongue and found a depressor placed on it.
"Sure you're not." Allquall shined a light in the girl's mouth. "You have a little swelling, have you done an oral scene lately?"
"Nuh-uh" The reply came as best as the girl could give it.
"Been coughing any?" The woman pulled back and allowed Vivio to reply while she threw away the wooden stick and scribbled on her pad.
"A little. Not like a real cough but a little 'a-hem' kind. I think it's my allergies."
"Hmmm..." The nurse placed Vivio's arm into a black strip that was wrapped around it. "Breathe normally please." She looked at a dial while checking the pulse and heart rate. "Okay...." She released the pressure on Vivio's arm and placed her earpieces in before putting the circular part onto the girl's chest.
"Cold!" She heard a laugh and then stayed quiet while the nurse listened to her.
"Deep breaths please." She closed her eyes and concentrated on the sound. "Well then," She took the plugs from her ears and put a hand on her hip. "Have you been-" Vivio sniffed loudly. "Yes, you have a cold."
"I don't feel sick." The star protested.
"Because it hasn't hit you fully yet. This is flu season you know, take care of yourself or it could get worse." Allquall wrote on her notepad again. "I'm going to write you a prescription for some medicine. Go get it and take it all, then come back to me in a week. No work until."
"Eh!? But I have a photo shoot for a magazine coming up!"
"Solo?"
Vivio blushed. "Um...no, with a male."
"No."
"But-"
"No." The nurse glared. "I'm telling your boss. No sex until you're one hundred percent better. Argue with me and Ill make it two weeks just to be sure."
Vivio sighed. "I was planning on using that money too..." She took the slip handed to her and sniffed. "Okay... I promise. I'll be a good girl and get this medicine..."
"Good, now get out of here so I can leave. I need to pick up my girl from school."
"How is your daughter doing?" Vivio pondered while replacing her sweater.
"Baby Blue is going through that rebellious stage. Silly teenagers." Her patient shook her head with a small, amused smile.

The sound of a bell jingling above the opening door made a black haired girl look over from behind her counter. A smile came up as the blond walked over to her. "Hello, Vivio. Good to see you again."
"Hey Angel." Vivio leaned against the counter and balanced on one foot to give the girl a hug. "How's work?"
"Long and boring sometimes and really fun other times." Angel pushed up her glasses with one finger. "How about you? Fun all the time?"
"Ugh, not really. There's this new person at work who simply adores me for some reason. Said she's a big fan and basically follows me around and watches my shoots... It's really creepy. I think she's going to ask to do a scene with me."
"Oh?" Angel looked like she was repressing her laughter. "And if she does?"
"I'll suddenly go straight." Vivio held up her hands like she was praying and closed her eyes. "Please forgive my sins and make this stalker go away." The sudden seriousness in her voice made the pharmacist finally break out and giggle. Opening her green eye, Vivio looked at her long time friend. "I need your advice on something, too."
"Oh?" Angel accepted the slip from the girl and glanced it over. "Cold?" A sniff answered her. "I see."
"Can you give me something to clear up my sinuses instead? I think my doctor is just being paranoid. I need to do a scene to get some money but she won't let me until I'm all better."
Angel walked to the bins behind herself and started searching for what she needed. "Sorry, I'm not going to skirt giving you proper pills just so you can clear up your sinuses. If you're really sick then you could make other people sick too. That's bad in your business. By the way, are you taking your birth control on time?"
With a sigh, Vivio nodded. "Every Monday, eight in the morning, on the dot. That specific enough for you?" She got bonked on the head. "Hey, ow."
"Take care of yourself, Vivio." Angel offered a bottle of pills. "Here, take every four to six hours depending on how you feel."
"I feel fine." Vivio replied with a slight annoyance at the hindrance to her money flow. "Can I just take them every four hours to kill my cold?"
"A cold is a virus; self limiting. The medicine takes care of the symptoms."
"So... it won't cure the cold?"
Angel smirked and crossed her arms because you know we have the cure for the common cold. The flu is never a problem."
Vivio blushed darkly, realizing what she said. "I knew that. Sorry, I'm just annoyed." Sighing, she looked at the bottle. "So this will take care of my sinuses?"
"Cold symptoms." Angel pointed at her. "Take them. All of them. Don't you dare toss them into your cabinet and then take them a year later or give them to someone else, you hear me? I'm still mad at you for taking your co-worker's medicine when you had that sore throat."
"That was like six months ago!" Vivio tried to glare but sneezed, quickly covering her nose. "... Do you have any tissue?"
Angel grinned at her.

Vivio closed her car door and adjusted her bra-strap before jogging across the gravel parking lot and into the restaurant to get out of the cold blowing wind around her. The door opened and the girl looked up, wondering what it was with the use of bells above doors instead of a chime of some sort. Seconds passed by, allowing her to ponder the lack of technology in use before a teenage girl came up to her. "Hello, table for one?"
"Yes, please." Vivio looked at the short girl in front of her and blinked when she realized she was getting a shocked look. "Uhm...?"
The girl slowly brought up a hand to point at her. "Are you... Eyes?" A dark blush flashed over Vivio's cheeks and she meekly nodded. "Oh my, I'm a huge fan! I have all your videos!"
"Shhhh!" Vivio shushed her quickly. "Please, don't make a scene."
"I'm sorry!" The girl bowed at her, short black hair rustling her shoulders. "My name's Wan, I own this restaurant along with my wife, Riyuu. Here, let me show you to a seat!" She quickly moved to allow Vivio to sit at a booth. "I'm sorry, you must think I'm a bad person, I was just so shocked!"
"No, really," Vivio looked around, thanking every known deity she knew that no one was around to over hear. "It's okay... just don't tell anyone okay?"
"Of course." Wan gave her a menu. "You read my letter on your video diary." Her voice dropped down, making Vivio pleased at not only the news but at the way the girl was respecting her wishes. "I asked what your funniest moment was."
"Oh that was you?" Vivo got a happy nod. "Well, how about that. Thank you for your support all this time."
"Tell you what... as a thank you, your meal today is on the house!"
"I couldn't!"
"Sure!" Wan smiled at her. "Could I ask for an autograph, though?"
Vivio blushed again, flattered. "It would be my pleasure. I've never been asked for an autograph before..." She rooted through her purse and grinned at the set of pictures she got while at her work place. A pen was taken out and the back of the photo was signed. "To Wan, with love... Eyes." She spoke while writing before handing the photo to the girl who stared at the signature for a few econds before flipping it over.
"Oh wow... how did that fit there?"
Vivio grinned and felt herself sweatdrop. "... Practice. Please don't let anyone see that, especially Syn."
"Syn? Why?" Wan blinked curiously. "You wouldn't...Vivio?"
"That's me."
Wan looked like she was about to have another spaz fit. "Wow! She's dating a pornstar!"
"Shhh!" Vivio grinned as the girl covered her mouth. "She doesn't know just yet... keep it a secret until I can tell her, okay?"
"Promise." Wan smiled and hid the picture in her pocket. "Now, let me do something for you. What would you like to drink?"
"Tea, sweet with lemon please."
"Got it," wan winked. "I'll be back with it while you look over your menu."
The blond nodded and grinned to herself when the owner of the restaurant visibly restrained herself from running off to squeal. 'A fan... the first time I've ever actually met one...' A warm feeling came in her chest and she looked at the menu. 'For some reason... I'm really, really flattered by this...' A few moments later she looked up from the menu and noticed that Syn was leaning out from the kitchen door, smiling at her. 'That girl is so cute.' She waved lightly and got one back.

Vivio bent over her computer desk chair and picked up the case containing her camera stand and camera and began setting it up. A small stack of papers were placed on her bed and after glancing over everything, she reached forward and turned on the device. "Hello everyone," she greeted with a small sniff. "Time for another video diary it would seem." The girl crossed her legs while on the bed and smiled. "Please forgive my sniffles, I am apparently getting a cold or something. Oh well, I still want to do my diary thing. Anyway, I had an interesting day today. I met one of my fans at a restaurant and I even signed an autograph for her. It was really embarrassing to be asked for it, but she seemed so happy I thought about doing a little something for all of my members on the web page."
The girl leaned forward and picked up a centerfold length picture of herself. "This is the other image that didn't make the centerfold in the last magazine I was in. It has never been released, so it's an original." Her purse was gone through next and Vivio signed her stage name on the bottom of the poster, adding a few hearts around it. "I'm going to have a little fun trivia tonight in the chat room, and whoever answers the most questions will get this autographed poster! I'll even do a request from them live on web cam, so be thinking about it!" She winked.
"Also," She sat the poster on the bed and tossed her pen back into her purse. "I got a lot of positive mail from everyone after posting my first video diary, so I'm going to take some more time and answer the questions asked by the kind people who emailed me." She giggled to herself while flipping through the printed emails. "Hmm.... Okay, this one has been asked a lot: What is your favorite position?" She placed the paper on the other side of herself and thought about it. "I think that 'doggy style' would be my favorite. It isn't hard to stay in that position, and after some scenes, it's actually really relaxing to just relax and let them do all the work." She laughed happily at herself. "But yeah, I like being on my forearms and knees, head down, just enjoying it."
"Moving on, we have...'Does size matter to you?'" She rolled her eyes. "Relax, guys, size isn't that important. It's a plus, but in all honesty, it doesn't matter if it's four inches or ten, if you don't know how to use it, it doesn't matter." She placed the paper to the side and flipped some more. "Hmm..."She giggled. "Are you all natural? Yes, my boobs are real. Implants scare me really bad. Besides, they just get in the way. I'd prefer to be an A-cup just so they won't bounce so much." She grinned and took another one. "Seme or Uke?" Vivio stuck out her tongue at the camera. "Seme, definetly. I don't do bondage scenes mainly because they want to tie me up."
"Hmmm.... Here we are: How good is your girlfriend in bed?" Vivio placed it next to her. "We haven't had sex, so I can't answer that one.... What are your measurements?" She made a tutting motion at the camera. "Check my web page, it's under my bio, silly." The blond placed the last paper down next to herself and uncrossed her legs, sitting with them slightly parted and both hands between her legs, holding her shirt down a little. "That's all the questions for this time, but keep sending in the request! I'll be happy to answer them all in time. If I didn't get to yours this time, don't think I forgot, I have them all listed on my computer!"
Moving from her bed, Vivio picked up her camera and turned to leave her bedroom. "I promised a tour of my house so I'll add it in as well. My bedroom goes straight into my living room." She took time to show her couch. "My couch is a little old, but it's comfortable. The cushions sag a bit, but it's great for laying across on them. Sometimes in the summer I sleep on my couch while watching TV late at night." She moved to the aforementioned television. "Speaking of, my TV is a standard one. I don't have the mobile monitor luxury but I don't really care to get it. I have enough bills as it is."
Vivio sniffed loudly. "Sorry... anyway, my kitchen." She walked to the tiled section divided from the rest of the apartment with a small bar. "Uhm... What to say about it... I like to keep it clean... I like fruits..." She opened her refrigerator. "As you can see, I love orange juice and...." She popped open the freezer. "Frozen pizzas are yummy. Yes, I can cook, but everyone gets lazy every now and then. Moving on, my washer and dryer are here." She opened the door to the small room. "I do laundry a lot, so detergent is a large expense for me..." The doors closed and the bathroom door was opened. "Bathroom, not much here." She focused on the shower. "I'm still hoping to get a waterproof camera for my shower for everyone to watch me take baths, but no luck so far. Everyone email my company and tell them to stop being so stubborn and buy me one." She giggled. "No really, don't do that."
Finally the girl sat her camera down on the stand and sat on her bed again, crossing her legs and sniffing. "I'm really happy that everyone is enjoying my videos. Don't forget that my new movie comes out in about two weeks! I have three scenes in it, and they're really good in my opinion. Please show your support and buy it if you can!" She blew a kiss to the camera. "Until next time , everyone! Thank you for your support and letters!"
