Annie took this time to go down to the lobby to call her dad.

Richard (*answers the phone) : Annie.
Annie : hey dad, i just wanted to let you know that we have arrived in Vegas already.

Annie hung up the phone and went to take a seat at the bar. The bar girl, Natalie, asks Annie.

Natalie (*says & asks) : I'm Natalie, your bartender today. can i get anything for you ?
Annie : Hi Natalie. (*asks) Can i get a Margarita please ?
Natalie (*says with a smile) : sure.

While Natalie was making Annie's drink, she asked a few questions to Annie just making small talk.

Natalie (*asks Annie as making her drink) : so how was your day ?
Annie : i just made it here like a few minutes ago.
Natalie : oh. (*asks) where from ?
Annie : LA.
Natalie : thats cool. i lived in LA for 7 years and i moved here to work.
Annie (*asks) : as a bartender ?
Natalie : yeah.
Annie (*asks) : how long have you been a bartender ?
Natalie : for 5 years now.
Annie : thats so cool.
Natalie : yeah.

Natalie slides the margarita in front of Annie and says..

Natalie : your margarita.
Annie : thanks.
Natalie : if you need anything else, just call me.
Annie : thank you so much Natalie.
Natalie : not a problem.

Natalie walked to the side to wipe down some glass cups. Annie took a sip of her Margarita and had flashbacks before Mark left to Korea.

[FLASHBACKS]
Jennie, Irene, Laura, Andrew, and Kevin were talking to each other on the side of the airport. The entire Tuan family were there to say their goodbyes to Mark sitting on the chair. After a while of talking, they left Mark alone by himself to think. Annie came over to sit next to him and talk.

Annie : Hey.
Mark : Hey Annie.
Annie : there's something i want to give to you before you leave to Korea.
Mark (*asks) : what is it ?

Annie gives Mark the small beautiful wrapped box. Mark takes it and opens the lid. There lay a piece of jewelry, a necklace with a microphone pendant on it. Mark looked at Annie and smiled brightly. She held onto his hand and says...

Annie : i want this for you more than everyone else here.
Annie : my mom always told me that 'if you can dream big, you can go big'.
Annie : its really up to you where you lead yourself to.
Annie : im proud of you for choosing this life and becoming a singer Mark.
Annie : so i picked out a necklace that will inspire you to work hard everyday. i hope you like it. Mark (*smiles at Annie & says) : i love it so much, thank you.
Mark (*asks) : can you promise me something ?
Annie : anything.
Mark : promise me that nothing will change between us when i come back to LA.
Annie : i promise you Mark.
