Chapter 46 - First Video Shoot After You

Hi Niaomi its great seeing you again sienna said greeting her as they boarded the bus

it's lovely seeing you again too sienna two back-to-back number ones on the charts you are killing it as a songwriter she greeted her with a hug,

thank you, sienna replied smiling as they were all seated

where are headed? Daisuke asked

you guys are all going in different sets today the last shoot however will be with the entire group,

we are shooting you guys as couples each couple will have their own story and they will all come together in the end

so everyone come into our faciliteis on board, my team will prepare you all, they are located in the back through that door

she pointed to a door that was seperating the front where they were seated from the back of the bus

we will take care of your costume hair make up all of that on the way on board this bus,

which was specially outfitted for you guys, to prepare you for your shoots and other appearances,

as easily as possible, while you travel to set locations,

get used to it, Mr. Williams had this all arranged and prepared for you, this bus is for your exclusive uses

soon everyone was seated in what was more or less a styling salon and dressing rooms that were on board

along with the staff and technology they needed to complete their apperances

yo, this bus is dope as heck! kaleb said check it out! they even got a snack bar

and cafe in here in case we get hungry,

we are well-accommodated melody said

filming with her camera doing a tour of the bus while they waited their turn to be styled

and some of their band mates were getting styled first by Niaomi's staff

wow, Melody, you're working hard double shift today? Niaomi said giving her a thumbs up

while she was putting together outfits for their shoot

I'm the content creator who promises to give all our Silverwinds the exclusive

behind scenes goodies

of course, I am very happy to be doing it and working hard my content is the star of the streams these days she said proudly

thanks to Niaomi and her very professional team for always making us look our best

soon they the bus was pulling up in front of a building with a sign outside that read

Space Flight Simulation Center

ok Sienna, Daisuke, Kaleb, and Liam, Niaomi said here is your shoot location you guys are up

they were dropped off at the center

greeted by a member of staff that was waiting outside the building for them

Melody Zane and Kanna you guys are the next group to go

why do I have such heavy make up? Kanna asked looking in a mirror

not that I'm complaining I look like a badass, your work is impeccable I love this look

she hair was brushed into two ponytails parted out to be shaped like stars in her hair and the blue ends were curled into thick bunches on either side of her head making her look adorable

but her make up style was very strong making her look like a villainess who was cute but also wicked at the same time

her outfit was a pair of black leather booty shorts with spiky silver studs all over it fishnet stockings combat boots and a red leather crop top with silver zips on the front

red leather fingerless gloves covered her hands and there was

a black leather chocker around her neck that had silver chains dangling from it and she was carrying a prop a baseball bat covered in shining silver sparkling stones

you, are playing a character today Niaomi told her it's going to be very important

part of the music video because you're going to appear in everyone else scenes

you know like when you watch a movie and a character has the little angel

on one shoulder and the little devil on the other

Kanna nodded

well you are playing a character like that I'm told she informed her

oh wow! Kanna said in surprise I didn't think they would give the band manager

such an important role in the video but okay ill take it, she grinned happily excited,

what about us? we look so ordinary they were both dressed in stylish dystopian

clothing that was of the damaged style so they look like they were wearing ripped up ragged clothes

you guys are going to be the first couple I'm told the filming teams on

the site will give you guys the whole story of what you're doing

but I'm told you guys will depict a couple thats been together a long time

but you will break up they are filming the music video to match the lyrics of the song

I see melody nodded thoughtfully sounds interesting

they dove to a gorgeous stretch of the coast and came to stop parking in a parking lot

wow! Melody breathed its so stunning here!

yea it is zane said the water looks so blue! it looks totally clean and unpolluted I bet you could go swimming here Melody

which was rare for her because mermaids couldn't swim around in polluted waters or they could become very sick

and many worlds did not have pristine beaches with waters that were not affected by industrial waste or other pollutants in their water

which was why it hard for them to leave Water world where the water was always clean and pure

and the sand is actually so white it looks like its shining kanna said as

they got off the bus to where a goup of people were waiting

next to a nearby house it was simple beach house with a front porch and surfboards propped up outside

hello its nice to meet you guys im your video director come inside let me introduce you guys to the filming crew a man greeted them shaking their hands

when they entered the house they realized it was set up with cameras already and the whole crew was waiting to film

ok now here is the story that i want you guys do depict its very simple kanna you are invisble they can't see you ok

what you will do is follow these two around accompany them at various scenes you will be watching them but they dont know you are there ok

now melody and zane you are a couple that have been together a long time this is your home imagine you are still on water world and you never left to go to prylea

you two still love each other and stayed together but like every couple you fight sometimes you argue you get sick of the situation

you guys will have a fight youre very emotional and melody will leave the house she will walk down to the beach

she very sad and upset shes crying and distraught kanna walks with her the entire time

she makes the rash decison to go back to the water and leave him she leaves her clothes

on the beach goes into the water and swims away never to be seen again kanna is standing next to the clothes on the shore

now zane after melody leaves the house you are upset youre frustrated you start regretting

so you start looking for melody wanting to make up with her not realizing she gone already

you look out the window you see her clothes fluttering on the edge of the water

kanna you are there looking at back at zane who is standing in the window looking out

Zane you grab your guitar run out to the beach you yell for her you look for her you play for her in the hopes she will hear it and kanna will follow along with him

but she doesnt your whole world is crashing around you in despair you cry and rage you smash your guitar to pieces on the rocks by the sea you sit there you cry and sob in desolation

kanna is with you she puts a hand on your shoulder but youre alone that's the end scene

thats the scenes you guys will be shooting here today it must have a lot of emotion you guys got it ?do you think you can pull it off?

we will do our best zane melody and kanna said

at the simulation center the other members were recieving a similar talk

good afternoon silver shadows members good to meet you all their video director said

today you are going to shoot a video here

this place gives people like you who are all inexperienced at flying ships

a chance to simulate the experience of flying a ship using technology

that has a combination of virtual reality and holographic displays and sets that

were built here to enable you to simulate not just

flying a number of various types of ships but various types of scenarios that can occur onboard such ships

for your music video today we will simulate a scenario that we created for the scenes we want for your music video

sienna and daisuke you are young couple you live on ships in space you travel using transportal technology to travel from ship to ship

so you guys are on a cruise ship through the the rings around belezon

liam and kaleb are friends of Daisuke

who are with you they have brought along a few female friends to keep them company members of the dance team

who have been given the roles will be working with you now you all are having a good time during the cruise

drinking dancing the girls begin flirting with Daisuke and he begins to flirt back sienna is a jealous girlfriend type

gets upset seeing this she has an argument with him and storms out daisuke chases after her they argue in the hallway

she tries to leave he tries to stop her forecfully the pair bump into a wall and accidentally trigger

one of the ships airlockS they are both about to be sucked out of the ship

Daisuke sacrifices at the last moment and saves sienna but gets sucked out of the ship

sienna is devasted and scared

she believes her boyfriend is dead because of her she flees the scene in a panic rushes back to her cabin and

leaves the cruise and flees away from her home ship thinking herself guilty of having killed someone

she boards and hides on another ship

now daisuke doesnt die he is saved however by Liam and Kaleb who are worried

when they see you guys leave the party arguing they follow you and happen to see what happens and managed to act quickly enough to take emergency measures

the airlock has a special technoldy in place just in case something like that happens lives can still be saved

this fail safe which was activated by them and daisukes life was saved

however by the time he was rescued sienna is already gone

daisuke searches for her but she has left the ship he packs his things and goes back to their home ship

but by the time he gets back

she has already fled from home ship and has boarded an unknown ship

hes too late he can't find her because she has hidden herself

he doesnt know which ship shes on or where in the galaxy shes gone his whole world has fallen apart

do you guys understand what you are doing now? he asked

yes we get it a relationship that has a misunderstanding and a terrible accident

that tears the couple apart at that time sienna said

exactly the director said smiling in the second half of the filming the broken couples

all of you will reunite and we will have a happy ending

but that will be filmed at a different location after you all are finished with the scenes here

you guys will board the bus to be taken there does everyone understand he asked yes they all replied

great then lets get to work everyone i ask that you guys try your best to give us the best

emotions you can dont worry about if the acting is good or bad if you get the emotions

correct then it works got it okay they agreed

time to be movie stars daisuke said with a smirk

time for me to learn how to be a bitchy jealous girlfriend sienna sighed

but sienna soon found it wasnt hard to play the role she was given because when she stepped into the simulation

it was so incredibly realistic and vivid when she saw the beautiful

female dancers who they were going to be working with for the scenes and especially

with their attractive figures that were honed by their hours of crafting their talent the way

they were naturally drawn to daisuke who was a very handsome and fine male the way they confidently flirted with him

and their mannerisms of subtly seducing him sienna naturally became green eyed the filming went smoothly

nice their video director very good he kept throwing out compliments like these

and soon the shooting was shot much faster than they expected

the holograms and virtual reality technology was amazing seamlessy

blended it was like acting in a full set with a cast of characters the sets could move some objects were real others were not

to give the realistic feeling of being onboard large lifestyle destination ships in

space everything including sight and sound to engage the senses

even some of the "people' and "aliens" on board the ships though computer-generated seemed real as they could speak and move around and had various behaviors like real people

sienna couldnt beleive Mr Williams had managed to let them film in such an amazing place

each "ship" she visited was different and had its own unique chracteristics perfectly mimicing their real

counterparts that exisited in deep space

that was so cool! kaleb began gushing as soon as it was done

I felt like a character in a video game almost

what kind of scifi cyber punk rpg even is this? making everyone laugh

wow i never imagined i would get to see this see never mind get to try out this kind of

advanced technolgy liam said in awe this stuff is worth millions of galactic credits

yes it does i heard they even train actual ship pilots here sienna said

pilots get to live pretty cool lives Daisuke said nodding in agreement

you guys did really well today, I had a lot of fun working with you kids, the video director said

thank you we enjoyed working with you too Liam said shaking the mans hand

the next part of the shoot will start after a break we will travel to next set where

you will shoot a scene where the band performs with the dance team

they were soon escorted out the building and the bus had pulled up outside

where they met up with the other half of the band

how did you guys shooting go? Melody asked as they boarded the bus

it went well sienna said we got use some really cool technology

you guys nissed out! kaleb said we went inside a virtual reality holographic set and we even did action scenes it was awesome

i got sucked out of an airlock and then they saved me and sienna taught i she killed me

and ran away thats pretty much our plot right now Daisuke said laughing

dam sounds like we got the boring roles we shot at a beach house and had to break up

but melody got to shoot an underwater scene Zane said

and i was invisible the entire time, Kanna said i was told i would be in all

your scenes too so i dont know how thats going to work out

they will probably figure that out in editing Melody said

let get some lunch guys Daisuke said they took the bus to a nearby resturant

where they and the staff had lunch before moving to the next set

while getting hair make up and costume changes on the bus

you guys are shooting in actual movie set it this time it also has holographic and virtual reality technology

the video director was saying as he walked down the empty street of what appeared to be a city on a planet somewhere

now Daisuke and all you guys came here some time has passed Zane has become friends with

liam and you four guys all know each other and you know both your friends are hung up on their respective girls that they lost

you guys dont about the girl's whereabouts at first they are in the wind

however, Liam bumps into Melody one day

and kaleb bumps into the Sienna at the same time both somewhere else

in odd places in the city by coincedence they each decide

to take it upon it themselves to help out their two heartbroken buddies and

secretly arrange a meet up for you guys to reunite with your lost girlfriends leading

you guys back to each other in hopes of being able to fix what was broken

kanna you are acompanying them each on this mission ok

youre are still invisible

got it she grinned

stores and shops "opened for business" and the "city" became filled with "people"

and the filming proceeded kanna accompanied Liam and kaleb at various times

at other times she was with Melody and Sienna who were both living lives

trying to put themselves back together again after they had lost their loved ones

as the boys arranged the secret reunion the story ended

with everyone meeting at one place the boys were performing the song on

the stage for the girls while dancers were dancing around them to the song

the dancers all leading the girls to the stage where they were

romantically reunited with their boyfriends kanna sat on the edge

of the stage her baseball bat on her shoulder as she gave the

camera a lopsided smirk and a wink

and cut! the director called that was a wrap! good job!

guys yor first music video shoot is finished!

the staff around cheered with the band for the day's hard work completed at last

thank you guys it was wonderful working with you all!

thank you director we cant wait to see the finished video Daisuke said

as the man shook his hand,

that will be as soon as our video productions team

is finished editing what we filmed in few days he answered

you kids to head back to the spaceport for your return trip

see you guys later tonight for Not Looking Back Filming

are you doing both videos? sienna said

of course he smiled my film crew is the best once we recive a project we dont do things halfway

thats great then we will see you later back on Prylea Zane said warmly

thanks to all the staff and crews who helped us tday sienna added with a smile

after saying their goodbyes to the film crews

the band members headed back to the bus and were soon on their way back to the spaceport

oh man what a day it has been Liam said with a groan leaning his head back on the headrest of his seat

are you very tired? kanna asked him worriedly seated next to him

take it easy diauske said putting a hand on his shoulder from the seat behind where he and sienna were seated

here have something to drink kanna said getting him a drink from a few touches on the seats touch screen console

that delivered him an energy drink from the bus internal system a drink came up through a slot in the armrest

thanks he breathed gratefully opening it taking a long drink before sitting back with a sigh

you look like you need a nap kanna said ill take one on the flight back he said softly

his fingers reaching for hers their hands naturally entangling kanna smiled enjoying the warmth

and feeling of having her hand, held in his he smiled at her fodly

and then let his head rest back on the headrest dozing lightly

they soon arrived at the spaceport and all the members disembarked the bus saying bye to the staff on board

they once again boarded a ship home it was evening time just before the dusk

was due to settle in when they left Belezons moon

we didnt even get to see anything Zane complained to Melody she chuckled exchanging a knowng look

with kaleb who was pouting and gazing out the ships windows as they left port for the same reason they had wanted to see some ring surfing

or at least a dog fight but they hadnt gotten any free time after the shoots were done it was time to go back already

we will come back next time she said to him we will do it on our own time and just have some fun,

we might even be able to go out to the rings on a ship then, Melody said

it will be the first thing we will do as soon as we get some free time Zane said

the entire band ate dinner on board the ship and slept for the few hours it took them to get back to Prylea

coming into port in the early evening just after sundown and the stars were begining to come out for the night

home sweet home Daisuke said as they slowly entered the familiar port the ship coming into a station and docking

they soon disembarked from the ship and headed to where they had left their Horizon Plane parked in a garage

do you guys want to eat again before we head to the next shoot? kanna asked

honestly i just want to hurry up and get it over with so we can go home

daisuke sighed traveling is starting wear on me

all the members were the same

all right guys we are going straight to set then at the Lazor Ball arena make

use of the snacks in the plane then if you prefer

they got in the plane and was soon zooming off to the Lazer Ball arena and sports village on the first level

as they soon cruised through the neighborhood Sienna understood what kanna had meant about the culture around the stadium

there was a sense of free spirtism in the neighbourhood an it factor

posters of various cool looking sports stars and teams were everywhere

the shops were all selling gear and merchandise related to the sport

the bars restaurants and cafes all were open and had large screens either inside or outside

that showed footage of the sport while advertising dishes and drinks that carried the names of various popular players

and buildings were decorated in colors and themes to represent their backing of particular favorite teams in the Lazor ball league

at the heart of all this there were large official-looking clubhouses that were the homes of the various teams

around the stadium and it seemed each club had its own team

and even their own turf where their fans gathered and hung out

it was very interesting realizing the sports village had gone so far to segregate

themselves within territories around the stadium so that each team

had its own marked out turfs that belonged to them their fans

who were really passionate about their teams and would even get into fights

especially during championship season there was bound to be disturbances in the village

it was one the things that made following the sport so lively half the entertainemnt value

was not in the games themselves

but in being a avid follower of the fan culture surrounding the sport and standing for your team

againts the other rival teams fans

the teams were competing and so were the fans

and competion was often fierce and heated
