"Quiet, please.... Very quiet.... And action!!!" The words were rampant in the room.
Danielle, Dana and Laura were on set. Dana, playing Rackel Montes, Arielle Montes', Danielle's, Sister and Sabrina Jerry, Laura, were best friends once upon a time. But within the course of their friendship, Sabrina slept with Carl, Robert Addams, Ariel's boyfriend, and they had to split up with Rackel obviously on her sister's side. They met again years after.
The door had just been opened for Arielle and Rackel to go outside the eatery and they came face to face with Sabrina, who was going inside. There was a pause and tension in the air before Sabrina broke it.
"Oh, Arielle! Long time no see. What a surprise! I didn't mean to see you here." She smiled. It was obvious the smile was forced.
Arielle wasn't in the mood for playing games. She told her coldly, "I believe this is a public place. Anyone can come and go."
Sabrina twisted her head, the smile still on her face. Now, it looked mocking. "Is that so? Well, you know I've been here a couple of times, but I haven't seen you." She slowly looked Arielle up and down, but she wouldn't show she was intrigued by her dress. Instead, she said sarcastically, "as you obviously know, this place is for the rich and mighty." She smiled the more, meaning that she was rich and mighty, but Ariel and her Sister wasn't.
Rackel couldn't take it anymore. Sabrina had been there all along, pretending she didn't notice she was there and now she was insulting them? It was too much for her to bear. She looked at Sabrina as mockingly as she did to them, then with a scoff, she spoke up, her beautiful lips curling elegantly. "It is obviously for the rich and mighty. So," she also looked her up and down, "I don't get what you're doing here." Sabrina's face changed, the smile disappearing from her lips. Rackel had gotten the desired effect, so she turned to her sister. "We've wasted a lot of time on useless things already, we should better get going." Rackel held Arielle by the hand, leaving a thunderstruck Sabrina behind.
"Cut. And that's a print." The Director's voice boomed and whoops and cheers could be heard.
Dana and Danielle came back grinning. Seven takes for a start wasn't bad after all. They had sometime to chat before Danielle was dragged away to prepare for the next scene.
Abigail sighted Briana and walked towards her, her face glowing.
"You made it."
"Yes, I almost didn't." She smiled remembering Jan.
Abigail lowered her voice. "I'm surprised Boss Lady let you come."
"I didn't tell her."
"You didn't what?!" Abigail's eyes went wide.
Briana rolled hers. "Calm down, she's not going to do anything."
Abigail's widened eyes turned to narrow slits. "Are you sure?"
"Totally." She waved it off. "How did you see the..."
Abigail couldn't wait for her to finish. "A.. Ma.. Zing. I'm glad I... No, we... Didn't miss it."
That triggered a memory.
"Where's Christine?"
Abigail looked around a bit. The room was a tad bit crowded, so it wasn't easy to spot a person. She shrugged. "She should be here somewhere."
Briana spotted her. "Oh, right behind you." Abigail turned just to see a very excited Christine hopping toward them. Abigail was ever curious. She couldn't wait for her to get closer.
"What's got you glowing?"
Christine was finally close enough. "You won't believe it."
"Believe what, Christine?" Briana tipped up a brow.
Christine didn't say a word, just raised her skirt to show her lap. There was an autograph. She raised the hand of her blouse. There was another autograph on her top arm. She turned her back and pulled down her blouse a bit. There was another one on her right spine.
Briana and Abigail continued to watch as she showed off autographs in weird places and Briana actually wondered how they felt when they were signing her.
They waited patiently till she was done showing off. "Great," Abigail began, "but wouldn't it be better if they signed on paper that would not wash off when you bathe, than in such weird, unpleasant places?"
Christine glared so hard at her, she had to apologise and when she was pacified, she brought out a book and waved it in front of Abigail with a satisfied smile.
"I did both-"
"Still not impressed and I know there's more weird news coming."
"-I'm getting a tattoo to make them permanent."
"And there is the weird news."
Briana giggled.
Just then, the call came. "Very quiet..... Quiet.... And.... Action!!"
