Full Summary:

The cast of So Random took a month off from filming to go back to their hometowns, but Zora comes back from Oregon she's changed. Instead of being her fun-loving, quirky self, she's quiet and begins to withdraw from her friends. Knowing that something must've happened while she was back in Oregon, her friends try to figure out exactly what happened, but what they find out is nothing what they expected.

Prologue:

There was only one way Zora could describe the atmosphere around her family and friends as they walked through the airport - awkward. Her parents, so proud of the person she became and her work on television, were quiet. Neither of them talked about how wonderful it was to have her home or that they wish they could find a place to settle down in Los Angeles so they could be near their daughter. Though Zora would protest it, saying that she did not want her family to get uprooted because of her job, she still missed debating the issue.

Her brother, always so attentive to his younger sister and messing around with his friends, was just as quiet as his parents. His attention was not toward the fact his sister was leaving again for a few months, in fact, his attention wasn't even in the airport. He wouldn't say it, but Zora knew that his mind was still stuck in the past, on that day. The day everything changed for herself and her hometown friends. His hazel eyes looked off into space as he walked through the airport, bumping into the occasional person and muttering a quiet apology.

What made the atmosphere seem the most awkward, Zora thought, was that her brother's two best friends, Rocky and Marty, were just as quiet as everyone else. Had things been normal, the two would have started wrestling for fun right there in the middle of the airport. Marty, who everyone in town saw as nothing but a delinquent like his brother, but was just a misguided carefree soul and normally the big joker of his friends, was deadly silent. His eyes were drawn back and he looked older. Though everyone else was silent as they walked, they had talked over the past two weeks. Marty had been silent since the news got out. He would not even let anyone know what was on his mind.

Zora saw Rocky look at his best friend worriedly. It was really bothering Rocky to not hear even a whisper come out of his friend. It only made Rocky more quiet as well. He had tried to get his friend to talk, but had given up after seeing no progress. Rocky turned and glanced at Zora, giving her a soft smile. It had been the first genuine smile Zora had seen out of Rocky in the past two weeks.

They reached the gate for Zora's flight just in time for everyone to say their goodbyes to the normally quirky brunette. After giving a quick hug to Marty and her parents, she stood in front of her brother. Clyde suddenly pulled her into a hug, and she hugged him back. The siblings remained in their hug for what felt like a long time, not wanting to be separated from another after all that happened. When they pulled away Clyde looked at his sister with the second smile she'd seen that day.

"Don't cause too much trouble off-camera, okay?"

Zora nodded and turned to Rocky. Just as she did the others, she hugged her friend. The hug was longer than the ones she shared with Marty and her parents, but it did not seem as long as the one she shared with her brother. The hug was over and Rocky's hand remained on her shoulder. He gave her another small smile.

"Don't get yourself into too much trouble," he joked, almost repeating what Clyde said to her. His smile softened. "And, you know, if you need to talk about anything, just call or text or Skype me."

Zora nodded once more, only this time with a small smile of her own. "Thanks, and I will."

With one more goodbye to her family and friends she turned and boarded the plane. Not long after she settled into her seat, the plane began to get ready for takeoff, and the small bit of hope Zora had for going back to Hollywood diminished. She knew the flight back was going to be torture; the usually short two and a half hour flight was going to feel like a lifetime for the 15-year old. And as the plane hoisted itself into the air, Zora realized she was dreading going back. After what had happened, it was going to be hard to continue living life as she had before. Nothing was going to be the same.

Okay, so there you have it! The prologue. And I should tell you that this is a crossover with a movie, but I'm not telling you which one, at least not yet. If anyone has any guesses, let me know in a review. I will reveal which movie it is in a later chapter, hehehe. So yeah, please review! Otherwise I won't know if you like it! :)
