AUTHOR'S NOTE: So here is a new short story, and my first Raura two-shot.
Laura's POV
"Don't worry Austin, you know I'll always be there for you," I say with a smile.
My sweetheart of a co-star looked up at me. "You know that means a lot, Ally."
"I know," I simply replied, as he stood up and pulled me in a warm hug as it was written on the script. But who said I was complaining?
"Aaannnnnnddd CUT!" shouted our director for the episode, Adam Weissman*.
Both of us stayed in our embrace for a second longer before letting go. I swear, we both didn't want to drop our arms.
"So, Laur, what do you think of this?"
"Think of what?" I asked, eyebrows furrowed, walking to our dressing rooms.
"Did you know, 'Seven days without a pun makes one weak'." he replied. "You know weak as in not strong. Ya get it?"
I couldn't hear the last part because I was in a fit of giggles. But I did see him roll his eyes and for that I swatted his chest playfully.
He leaned against the doorframe of his dressing room and looked at me. "Hey Laur. Wanna go to lunch with me? I heard of this great place nearby."
"Sorry Rossy." I played with his hair. It was so soft! If a cloud and a teddy bear had a baby.** "I've got to get back to school. And then after school I have to study for a test tomorrow and then I have a piano lesson later this evening."
He pouted. He looks cute when he does that. Cr p! Did I just say that? But good thing I didn't say it out-loud or else... I'd have to cover.
"But I promise I'll make it up to you. You know what I'll get lunch with you on another day. Agree?"
He nodded. "But wait for me. And I'll walk you out."
I smiled. That was so sweet of him. But he is a sweetheart, as I've described him so many times public and private. I walked to my dressing room as he entered his.
Ten minutes later, we were walking down the halls of the studio, talking.
"So Rossy, anything new with R5?" I asked. I love Ross's songs and I am an even bigger fan of R5. Their songs are just great. I'm sort of jealous of having a family band like that, but I'm satisfied enough and grateful for my own family.
"We're about to leave on tour, once season two's done filming. And while were at that, we're working on a new song and one part is where Rocky raps."
"Cool. Can I get first hand look? You know I'm a big fan."
He laughed. "Sure. Anything for LauraRaura." He said as he put an arm over my shoulders.
Did he just say Laura-Raura? Did he? "Did you just say what I think you just said?"
"Say what?" he casually toned.
"Laura-Raura," I slowly said.
A flash of shock flew by his face. There was no mistaking it. His eyes widened. He opened his mouth but no words came out.
He was about to answer when someone interrupted, "Excuse me, Ross Lynch and Laura Marano, I'm Jazmine Santiago from Ellen. I was sent to ask if you two were interested in stopping by one day to do an interview with Ellen. Anytime when you two are free."
We looked at each other. A wide grin spread over both our faces. "Sure, that's great," I answered.
"We're free tomorrow at two after lunch," Ross continued, then he looked at me. "The lunch that Laur owes me."
I swatted him playfully. Then I looked at Jazmine. "We're looking forward to it." I'm not sure if our agents and publicists would be happy to agreeing to an interview without their permission, but I wanted to meet Ellen. I've heard that it's always fun with her interviews.
A day later, Ross and myself were backstage of the Ellen Show and apparently our publicist thought that it was a good idea to bring more publicity to the show, so they cancelled today's filming, but I still had lunch with Ross. We were to go on in five minutes and you could say, I was pretty excited.
I was fidgeting with my nails when Ross came behind me and grabbed me in a hug. "Hey Laur."
I giggled, "Hey RossyRoss."
"So did you know that to write with a broken pencil is pointless." He smirked as I laughed. His jokes are just so funny. Well they're puns but funny anyway. But I don't get why only me, find these types of things funny.
He let me go and asked, "You nervous?"
I shook my head. "Excited."
Then we heard from on-stage, "Please help me give a warm welcome to the stars of Disney's Austin and Ally, Ross Lynch and Laura Marano!" then we were pushed down a small hallway and walked on-set.
The live audience's response was crazy. They were screaming Ross! Ross! Ross! or Laura! Laura! Laura! but when we walked to our seats hand in hand they were chanting Raura! Raura! Raura! My cheeks grew a tint of pink and sat down looking excitedly at Ellen.
"So," she started, "here you guys are. Austin and Ally in person."
We both nodded, smiling.
"Come on guys! Loosen up! In my studio, there's one rule: Chill," she said, with an easy smile.
"But... that's not possible. There must be-" I began, but was cut off.
"Peesh! Don't' worry. Relax. Is she always like this?" she asked Ross.
"Oh, yeah. She is one goody two shoes. Always following the rules. Get this, never once in her life she broke or bent a rule. But that's Laur and she's great the way she is." He smiled at me while the audience, awed.
"Laur?" Ellen questioned, her head to the side.
I answered this one. "That's just Ross's nickname for me. He calls me Laur and I call him Rossy."
"Cute! So before we get to Austin and Ally, let's talk about you guys. So Laura or Laur, you go to school as you still have an acting career. How hard is that?"
One of many questions, interviewers always ask. "It's pretty hard as I'm always busy. Early mornings and late nights but there are others who are just or more busy than me. There are those who are busy with sports and music. For me, acting and my career is equivalent as a sport."
"Wow. But while you're here. Just chill. Pretend you're at home."
"Nah. Can't do that. If I'm at home, Professional Laura is nowhere to be seen."
"Why? What happens?"
Not sure if I should answer this one. I shook my head and gripped Ross's hand. He took his cue.
"I'm not sure if Laur is comfortable with that one. I've seen her at home, and yeah." Everyone laughed, including myself.
Ellen must've noticed the small transaction between us because she asked, "So, are you guys dating?"
"No, no. No!" I sputter. Ross shook his head vigorously, as the live audience chanted Raura, Ruara, Raura!
"Okay!" she mocked shrilly with a roll of her eyes, but continued. "Ross, I've heard you're in a band with family. I believe it's called R5?"
Ross nodded. "Yeah. We're about to go on a two month tour and a new album is going to be released in September."
"You're the lead singer, I presume? But do you also play other instruments beside guitar and piano?"
"Well...I wouldn't consider myself the lead singer, but sure. I also play a bit of drum and bass and I'm learning the violin."
"Impressive. Quadruple-threat. Singer, actor, dancer, and musician." Ross just shrugged. He is a pretty decent person. "How about you, Laura? Play any instruments?"
"I play the piano and I take it very seriously. I've been taking piano since I was four or five," I reply.
She nods. "Guitar?" I shake my head.
And Ross buts in. "She actually did get a crash course on guitar from me and she did learn a song."
"Nice! How about we bring out some guitars and have you guys play?" she suggests.
"Sure!" Ross replies. When he answered, Ellen signaled to a crew member and he brought out two guitars with a couple of picks. "This song's called You Can Come to Me. It's an actual Austin and Ally song, and I had to learn the chords because we sing live."
I was freaking out. I completely forgot which chord is which. "Ross." I whisper. He stopped with his little speech.
"Huh?" He turned to me.
"I forgot which is which. I remember the order, but I don't know."
He laughed. "Laura Marano not remembering something, wow. This day, I have to remember!" he jokes.
I swat him. "It's not a joke," I hiss.
He holds his hands up in surrender. "Okay! Here is the E Minor chord. This is G7. This is C diminished." For the next minute he taught me the chords.
I heard Ellen say to the crowd, "Only a boyfriend would react this way." We both hear it, but we chose ignore her.
Then for the next three minutes our voices joined in harmony and rang out with our solos. And I have to admit, we sounded pretty good.
*Adam Weissman is an actually an Austin & Ally director.
**Ally's line in "Tracks and Troubles".
Oh yeah, I don't own Ellen Show nor associated with her in anyway. As well as Austin, Ally, Ross and Laura.
A/N: Okay it might be a three shot since I want to put in so many things. BTW this interview will be based on an interview with Taylor Swift and Zac Efron with Ellen. But it ends in Ruara. But answer me this you want Ruara to happen onstage, or backstage but caught on camera?
