"I don't believe in fairy tales
But I believe in you and me
Take me to wonderland"
-Wonderland, Natalia Kills
~Sleeping Beauty Theme~
Claire laughed to herself as she flipped through the pages that had scribbles of words on them.
"Now's my chance to make things awesome and hilarious." She laughed to herself, stacking the script in a careful pile and hurrying out of her room.
Claire approached her brother and explained the plan. He laughed and agreed. Claire grinned to herself. Now to get Kiara and Envy to agree.
~Time Skip~
Kiara's POV
I sighed as I tugged on the sparkly, pink dress. Why am I doing this stupid skit? Cause Claire promised a jar of nutella for you, that's why. The little voice in my head whispered.
"Chase, get out of my head." I sighed.
Temperance's friend, Adelaide scurried into the room. "Good good." The French girl clapped her hands.
"What are we doing?" I asked.
"Sleeping Beauty."
I froze.
"You're joking." I stared at her.
"Nope. Sit, lemme work on you." She pushed me into a chair and grabbed a makeup bag.
"Who's playing what's-her-face?"
"You."
"I'm a red-head," I deadpanned. "I don't even look like a princess."
"Did it ever say what she looked like? I'm pretty sure you can look like you." Adelaide said, unzipping the bag and pulling out random sticks and containers.
"After I get my nutella I'm going to kill Claire." I growled.
"Don't frown, it'll give you wrinkles." Adelaide scolded.
I flinched as the wand hit my face.
"Hold still!" Adelaide struggled.
"Don't wanna! If I'm going to be a snoring princess then Envy's Prince Charming!"
Adelaide pulled away, tapping the wand against her bottom lip. "I guess there's that. But remember, you're getting nutella and Pierre and Talia are cooking snacks."
I paused. "Really?"
"Oui. C'mon, work with me." Adelaide watched me with pleading gray eyes.
I sighed. "I suppose."
Adelaide grinned and got to work.
~With the others~
"No. Never ever ever will I agree to this." Envy crossed his arms over his chest.
Claire and Chase exchanged glances, Claire frowning.
"I'll torch your butt if you won't." Chase threatened.
Envy just looked at him with contempt. "You don't scare me."
"Fine, will you do it for nutella?" Claire asked.
Envy's eyes widened. "Where is it?" He asked, skeptical.
Claire ran into the kitchen (they were in the living room) and came back with a jar of nutella.
"Half now." He went to grab it.
"A quarter." Claire kept it out of his reach.
Envy glared at her. She glared back.
"Fine." He sighed.
"You'll do it?" Chase asked.
"Yes." Envy spat. "Now give."
~5 Minutes Later~
Claire's POV
We had constructed a place to do this. We used the beach site where we all crashed onto Earth, and then used our powers to create a ball room. It took a while, but we managed to get everything to look right. Talia moved the camera into place, then motioned for me to get ready. I straightened my gown, then glanced over at Greed. He seemed at ease, lazily lounging in the throne next to me. He caught my glance, smirking at me.
"Wear that more often. It makes you look nice." He looked away.
My cheeks flushed. Crap, not good. I probably look like a cherry skittle.
"Hey! No flirting up there!" Kiara called.
"Shut up, pinky!" I stuck my tongue out at her. She rolled her eyes, then turned to Envy as he said something. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she said something back. He waved his arms, and she facepalmed.
It left me to wonder just what they were saying.
Probably something with nutella.
But then, I could be wrong. I could never figure out what went through either of their heads.
"Ready guys?" Talia called.
Hailey, Luciana and Adelaide were the fairies. Forgiveness (Fortuna) was watching and offering advice. Diligence (Diana) was annoyed about having to play Maleficent until she found out he would be doing chaotic things. Then she was thrilled. (She's a little twisted.)
So Greed was Kiara's dad, I was her mom, and Chase was Envy's dad. Things were a little mixed up, but that was because I didn't want to be "married" to my twin.
That just rubbed me the wrong way.
Greed jumped up as Diligence walked onto the set.
"What are you doing here!?" Greed yelled, Chase standing up as well.
Envy acted like a little kid (he shapeshifted into a four-year-old (for the sake of the skit, Envy was allowed to shapeshift, and I was pretty sure he loved it)), hiding behind Chase.
"I'm here to curse your baby." She deadpanned.
Hey! Stick to the script! I mentally yelled, standing up as well.
"You didn't invite me, blah blah blah, stab yourself on a spinning wheel and sleep for a bajillion years." She flicked the "wand" that was nothing but a spray-painted-pink stick lazily over the cradle that held the doll/pretend baby.
Hailey stepped up. "Bibbity-bobbity-boo, change the curse into. . .something else. . .uh, line?"
I facepalmed with a loud SMACK.
"Hey! Give me a break! You literally just sprung this on us less than an hour ago!" Hailey said defensively.
We somehow managed through Act One, though I thought we'd never get past that part.
"GIMME MY NUTELLA!" Kiara shrieked, tackling me as soon as I slid off the throne.
"AH!" I flailed, knocked off balance.
I crashed into Greed, who stumbled back in surprise, knocking other stuff over in the process before all three of us hit the floor.
"Graceful." Envy snorted.
Kiara scrambled off, but I felt too dizzy from falling to anything else than groan.
"You okay, sweetheart?" Greed grabbed my hands and helped me up.
"Yeah, I think so." I brushed off my dress, frowning at the tear at the bottom.
Diligence walked over, then crouched down and examined the tear.
"Yeah, that won't take long at all. I'd give it, like, five minutes." She stood up.
I smiled at her gratefully. She just sighed.
"Like, how much clumsier can you get? Wait, don't answer that. I don't want to fix anything else." Diana walked off.
"Seriously. Where's my nutella." Kiara tried to cross her arms over her chest, then frowned as it wouldn't let her.
"Fudge! I hate dresses!" She moved her arms in some funky positions-she's double jointed- and my jaw dropped as she tore the dress.
"KIARA!" I shrieked.
She sighed in relief, now able to cross her arms over her chest.
"What did you do!? Diligence is going to go into conniptions!"
Kiara snorted. "Diligence? Seriously? She's so laid back she's almost apathetic."
"I can hear you, you know." Diligence called.
Envy tugged on her braid, making Kiara yelp.
"What?!" She growled.
"Next scene is soon."
"I hate this." Kiara stalked off to go change.
When she came back, she was dressed in a raggedy brown skirt and dark shirt.
"Much better, sort of." She sighed.
I sighed, walking off to change.
Meanwhile, Talia approached Kiara.
"You singing?"
Kiara stared at her like she was crazy. "What? Never. I don't sing. I'm not even sure I'll dance."
"Not even for a chocolate chip cookie?" She questioned.
"Tempting. . .but no." Kiara walked off.
Talia slumped. "Rats."
Forgiv-Fortuna, Kiara, Luciana and Adelaide got ready for the next part. We created a little cottage in the forest that surrounded the beach, making it almost look like something out of a Disney Movie. Talia hit the record button then waved for them to begin.
"I'm going out! I may never come back~!" Kiara walked out, grabbing a grocery bag with her.
"What about your shoes?" Fortuna asked.
"Don't need 'em." Kiara slammed the door closed.
"What are we doing for her birthday?" Fortuna asked Luciana and Adelaide.
"Get her a kitten." Luciana didn't look up from her nails.
Fortuna looked horrified. She had been told the time Envy had brought home a kitten and gotten his eyes scratched out.
"You are evil." Adelaide deadpanned.
Talia started narrating.
"Meanwhile, Briar Rose was dancing and singing in the forest, dreaming of her true love."
Kiara's face scrunched up. "Ew. Who does that? I don't sing and I don't dance in front of a camera."
Talia cleared her throat as I glared at Kiara. She shut up.
"What would you like me to sing? Christmas Carols?" She said sarcastically.
"Nevermind, Rose wasn't singing. But she was dancing." Talia said threateningly.
"Fine. . ." Kiara sighed, then skipped through the trees.
"That's not dancing, idiot!" Envy called out.
"I'd like to see you do better!" She yelled back.
"Guys guys! Just. . .let's finish this, alright?" I sighed.
"Briar Rose was collecting berries."
"OW! Ow ow ow, I hate collecting raspberries. Stupid vines." Kiara waved her hand wildly, a bright red slash on her hand.
"Then a handsome man came along."
Cue Envy.
We waited, but Envy had disappeared.
"Uh, Prince Philip appeared."
We looked all around, but he was gone.
"DANG IT ENVY, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS WITH ME FOR EITHER OF US TO GET NUTELLA!" Kiara screeched, running away, deeper into the forest.
"Great going Oh Mighty Directer. Now what?" Diana crossed her arms over her chest.
"Uh. . ." I looked to Chase.
His eyes were closed, and he looked like he was concentrating.
"Not far from here." Chase's eyes snapped open and he ran after Kiara.
"Might as well take a break." Greed grabbed my hand and tugged me in the direction of the beach house/arrival house.
"Snacks are in the kitchen." Talia called.
I followed him, wondering why nobody was following us. Greed abruptly spun me around, and I blinked.
"What?" I asked.
He looked at me with a weird gaze that sent shivers down my spine, then leaned over and kissed my forehead.
"You're doing great." He walked off.
Kiara's POV
I raced through the forest, calling out for Envy. I tripped over my skirt and went sprawling.
"Ow. Darn skirt." I mumbled, sitting up.
I transmuted jeans and sneakers on, then started sprinting again.
"ENVY GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!" I yelled, stopping and looking around.
"This is hopeless." I sighed.
Two hands shot out and grabbed my ankles. I gasped as I hit the ground on my stomach, the wind knocked out of me. WHAT THE HECK?! I struggled, but I couldn't make the hands let go. I was yanked. . .under a rock?
Waaat..?
I landed ungracefully on my butt, staring up at Envy. He crossed his arms over his chest.
"YOU-" I began, only for him to clap a hand over my mouth.
"Do you want them to find us?" He hissed, then grimaced as I licked his hand.
"You are disgusting." He wiped his hand on his jeans.
"And proud of it."
I looked around, to find myself in a hole. The sun came through a small slit at the top, which also served as the entrance.
"When did you make this?" I stood up, brushing off my clothes.
"I didn't. I found it."
"Lemme guess. You fell in it."
"Ha. Ha." He rolled his eyes. "No, I tripped."
"Same difference." I snickered.
"KIARA! ENVY! Where are you!?" Chase yelled.
We froze, not daring to breathe.
Then I started gasping and fell over from the lack of oxygen.
Envy facepalmed, muttering, "Idiot."
"They'll never find us~" I giggled as Chase walked past us.
"They will if you keep talking." Envy snapped.
"You shushy!" I waved my arms.
"You first!" He argued.
"You shushy-shushy!"
"No, you!"
"Uh, guys? What are you doing?"
Crap.
Envy and I turned to find Chase watching us. We looked back at each other. My hands in his hair and his on my wrists. We were pretty close.
"Uh. . .nothing?" I offered weakly.
"If you wanted to leave and make out, you could've just said." He walked away, shuddering at the thought of his baby sister and a monster kissing.
"EWW!" I shrieked, yanking my hands away.
His hair was silkier than I thought, but no way was I ever going to say it.
". . .Did you just say my hair is silky?" Envy looked at me, weirded out.
Dang it.
"Uh. . .no?" I rubbed my arm, awkward.
"Girls. . ." He muttered, then climbed out of the hole.
Where did those stairs come from? I wondered, following him out.
We followed Chase back to the camp site, though Envy was partly dragged by yours truly.
I'm just in this for the nutella, man.
Do you know how mad I will be if I don't get my nutella? I'll be burning with rage. Everyone in the nearest vicinity will know just how mad I will be.
"Where's Claire and Greed?" I asked.
"Good, you came back. This is awesome," Diligence was even more sarcastic than me sometimes. "I was getting so bored."
"Hey, Dil, that's not nice." Forgiveness nudged her.
"You wouldn't be very nice either if your nickname was a pickle type." Diligence stalked off.
I whistled. "Never noticed that before."
We lounged around, waiting for Claire and Greed to come back. Nobody was quite sure where they had gone, and nobody really wanted to go look for them in case. . .ahem. . .things were no longer PG.
"It's unlikely that that would be happening." Forgiveness reasoned.
"This is Greed we're talking about." Luciana pointed out.
"Do you really want to go looking?" Pierre raised an eyebrow.
"Point taken." Forgiveness sighed.
"I don't want to see anything." Hailey shuddered.
I patted her head. "Nobody does."
"Except maybe a pervert." Diligence said apathetically.
"You are so weird. Who would think that?" I stared at her.
"Apparently not you." She didn't drop the bored tone.
"Apparently." I muttered.
Five minutes later, I was hanging upside down on a tree branch, swinging back and forth, bored.
"Should we just get started without them?" Chase asked.
"What's the next scene?" Adelaide questioned.
"Envy meets Kiara."
Envy and I froze.
"On second thought, I can wait." I laughed nervously.
"Let's get started. Kiara, get down here." Talia ordered.
"NEVER!" I shrieked, sitting up and climbing higher.
Chase's fist shot up and flames shot up, scorching the trees.
"YOU IMBECILE! THIS TREE IS SIXTY YEARS OLD! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!? OW OW OW! I'M CONNECTED TO THIS TREE, YOU-" I screamed.
"Chase, stop! You're killing it!" Hailey tugged on his arm.
Chase stopped, his eyes widening. Talia hurled water at the flames. I coughed, the burning smell making me feel dizzy and sick. An ember landed on my hand, making me yank my hand away. My foot slipped and I lost my balance, tumbling out of the tree.
"KIARA!" Hailey screamed.
After all, I was falling a great distance. About the height of a telephone pole, roughly thirty-five feet.
I felt myself thrown sideways by a gush of air. I waited for the impact of solid ground, but instead I hit something warm. A moaning sound came from under me. I cracked open my eyes to see the last person I ever wanted to see catch me.
Envy.
"Owwww. . .you weigh a freaking ton, woman." He groaned.
I was extremely confused, until I saw Claire rushing over.
"Are you okay? I tried to aim for someone soft, and Envy just happened to be the closest person."
"I hate you."
~!~
"Where were you anyway?"
". . .I don't want to explain. . ."
"Claire? Why are you all red?"
"That would-"
"SHUT UP GREED!"
~Ten Minutes Later~
Envy and I were in position.
"Then they dance." Talia directed.
"Never." We said in synch.
"Fine. They talked." Talia sighed.
Awkward silence.
We'd never really talked, mostly just argued. So what to say?
"What was your favorite thing back in Amestris?" I asked.
Envy blinked, then thought back. "The Ishvalan War." He said proudly.
I sighed, depressed. "Well, I tried."
Pause. . .
"Well, it's been nice talking to you and everything. . .but I gotta go~! See ya!" I raced off.
"Wait! I don't even know your name!" Envy called.
"Look it up in the phone book!" I called back.
". . .Phone book?" Envy wondered.
"Cut! Nice. But the phone book?" Claire asked.
"Mind blanked from the script. Where's my nutella?" I asked.
"Not now. What's the next scene?" Claire flipped through the pages of carefully-typed script.
"Don't we tell her about being a princess?" Adelaide offered.
"Let's let the French girl direct the French movie." I stalked off. "At this rate I'll never get my nutella."
"I thought this was German." Hailey looked at Claire.
Claire shrugged.
We started the next scene soon after.
"Briar, there's something we've been keeping from you." Adelaide said hesitantly.
I lounged on the couch. "What about?"
"Well, you're really a princess." Forgiveness said.
I sat up. "What?" I laughed a little. "Are you crazy?"
"No, you really are. You're betrothed to the prince, and you're supposed to marry him in a month."
I stared at them.
"What?"
"Your name's really Aurora." Luciana said, serious.
"But. . .but. . ." I stuttered.
"We hid you because the evil Maleficent cast a curse over you, saying you'd die on your sixteenth birthday." Forgiveness said.
"Which is today." Adelaide added.
"Happy birthday. You're going to die." Luciana said sarcastically.
I fainted.
~Meanwhile, with Envy~
"Hey Dad, there's this girl that I met-" Envy began.
"Who?" Chase interrupted.
"I dunno, I didn't ask her name. But-"
"You shouldn't go talking to random girls." Chase scolded.
"I want to marry her! I know it's crazy, but I-"
"You're already betrothed to Princess Aurora, you can't-"
"I love her!" Envy yelled.
Offstage, my cheeks flushed. That's not awkward at all.
"Wow. Sucks that this is only a play and not real life, oui? I ship you two so much." Adelaide commented.
I wanted to crawl in a hole and not come out for a long, long time.
Adelaide, Luciana and Forgiveness led me to the castle that was surprisingly close.
"Your majesty." Forgiveness bowed.
"Uh..." I looked around, feigning confusion.
"Aurora?" Greed gasped.
I stared at them, then glanced at the fairies. They beckoned me to go up and. . .do something.
"I'm guessing that's me? Kinda confusing to have two names." I started walking to them.
"It is you!" Claire leaped off the throne and hugged me.
I hugged her back, and the scene ended.
"Uh, Claire?...You can let go now." I tried to get free.
"Never letting my baby sister go~!" She hugged tighter.
"Can't breathe!" I choked.
"Hey, let her go," Envy said. "I need her to get my nutella."
Claire reluctantly let go, and I stayed far, far away from both her and Envy.
"What?" Envy looked at me strangely.
"You just announced you love me. On camera. You scare me." I hid behind Chase.
Envy rolled his eyes. "It was the script. I don't actually love you."
I pouted. "I'm not sure to be offended or relieved."
Time skip~
I was exploring the castle, cause, let's face it. If you were suddenly told you were a princess, you'd want to explore. I pushed open a door, peering in. It was dark, but there was something in the corner. Curious, I crept over to it, and found it to be a spinning wheel.
Then, of course, I tripped.
I reached out for something to grab, and my hand touched the tip of the spinning wheel.
Then everything went black.
"Cut! Brilliant, Kiara!" Claire clapped.
I jumped up from my fake black-out, then hurried to Envy.
"Nutella." I held out my hand.
He dropped the container into my hand, a knife soon following. I walked away, licking the knife, in heaven.
"I promised some now. You get the rest later." Claire snatched it out of my grip.
"Noooo! My nutella!" I screeched, tackling her for it.
Claire chucked it at Greed like a pro football player. I jumped off her and raced for him.
They thought that because he was taller than me, I wouldn't be able to reach it.
But they forgot I could wall climb.
"Ow! Get your foot-OW!" Greed squawked as I climbed him. "ELBOW IN THE EYE!"
Chase ran over and pulled me off.
"NOO! I need it! You don't understand!" I flailed.
Envy watched us calmly, rhythmically dipping the knife into the jar and sucking on it.
"And you-" Claire tried to grab Envy's.
She backed off at his glare. "Or not. . ."
"NOT FAIR! FAVORITISM!"
"I think it's fear, Kiara."
~Next Scene~
No POV
"We should get the prince! The curse can be broken with true love, right?" Fortuna said.
Luciana didn't look up from where she was looping flowers in Kiara's hair. "He was captured two days ago by Maleficent."
"Why aren't we doing anything about it?" Adelaide asked.
"'Cause we're stupid and chickens, that's why." Luciana said flatly.
Fortuna facepalmed. "Well, we might as well go get him now~!"
"Why? Who says they love each other to begin with? They just met. That only happens in fairy tales." Adelaide said.
"Moron, this is a fairy tale." Luciana rolled her eyes.
Offset, Claire buried her head in her hands. "Please. . .I beg of you. . .stick to the script." She muttered.
"I don't think all three of us should leave, anyway. Who's going to watch Kiara? Everyone's asleep." Adeliade pointed out.
"True. One of us should go." Luciana said.
"I'll go." Fortuna stood up from where she had been perched on a desk. "I'll be right back!" She ran out of the room.
Fortuna scurried down the hallways, dodging thin air. They were going to edit people in afterwards, so now it just looked like she was crazy. She hummed a song to herself as she raced out of the numerous "courtyards" that were nothing but some random rocks laying around.
Hey, they had a small budget to work with.
Fortuna made it to Maleficent's castle in a short time, then snuck around, looking for the prince.
"Holy crap." She whispered, staring into the dungeon room.
The Prince/Envy was chained to the wall, looking a little worse for wear.
Fortuna broke the lock with her awesome light powers, then hurried into the room.
"Hey! You alive?" She asked.
Envy raised his head, looking at her blankly. "I hate being the prince." He muttered.
Claire whacked her head against a nearby tree.
"Stupid me for believing they'd do it right." She winced, rubbing her head.
Fortuna destroyed the chains, helped Envy up, then led him out of the castle.
"STOP THEM!" Diana/Maleficent screamed.
Fortuna and Envy ran as fast as they could as Diana/Maleficent shot lightning bolts at them.
"AIIIEE!" Envy shrieked as buckets of cold water fell on them both.
"You ain't gettin' away." Maleficent said, then smacked her hands against the ground.
Offset, Talia motioned to Claire. Claire nodded.
Lightening raced towards them, and they closed their eyes. Talia appeared in front of them, a sheet of ice coming up and blocking the lightening.
"T-T-" Fortuna stuttered.
"RUN!" Talia cried, continuing to block lightening blast after blast.
Hailey hurried onto the scene, and helped block the blasts as Fortuna and Envy escaped.
"Cut! Beautiful!" Claire clapped as Kiara turned the camera off.
Diana flung her arm out, a bolt of lightening flying off into the distance. "Didn't get a chance to discharge that one." She explained at their uneasy looks.
"I thought you were angry." Pride took a step away from her.
"We're almost done." Kiara sighed in relief.
"But you know what that means." Envy shuddered.
"Not looking forward to that." Kiara sighed.
"I hate this story." Envy stalked off.
"It's getting late. Want to start this tomorrow?" Chase glanced at the setting sun.
"The next scene is Envy fighting Diana, right?" Claire conferred with Talia.
"Correct." Talia nodded.
"Ya, I can wait." Kiara said, scurrying off to the beach house.
Claire sighed. "This is taking longer than I thought."
"Maybe so, but it's good." Greed shrugged.
"Thanks, I guess." Claire looked away.
They parted ways for the night.
"Who's cooking tonight?" Kiara asked.
"Isn't it Talia?" Pride looked at the blond.
"Mmhmm, but Pierre's helping."
Kiara glanced at Envy, excited.
He caught her glance and smiled a little. Not a twisted, evil smile, but a real one.
Kiara's eyes widened.
"Did you just smile?" She gasped.
Envy's face shut down. "What?"
"You did! I saw it!" She said, jumping up from the floor.
"What are you talking about?" He asked, stepping away.
The others watched, intrigued to what would happen.
"Smiled! You smiled! Do it again!" Kiara reached for his face.
"Get away from me!" Envy screeched, batting her hands away.
Some laughed while others just shook their heads at Envy and Kiara's antics. Kiara chased him around the room, until Pierre walked in and they crashed into him.
Then they were put on time-out.
Kiara stuck her tongue out at the corner that she faced, annoyed. "I'm sixteen years old! Why am I put on time-out?!"
"Cause you knocked him down. He doesn't really appreciate that." Luciana replied.
"Grr. . ." Envy grumbled in his own corner.
Chase just shook her head as Hailey rolled on the floor, laughing.
~Next Day~
"Ready?" Claire asked.
Kiara fixed a thorn, then nodded, hurrying off the set. Fortuna handed Envy a sword and a shield.
"Uh, how am I supposed to shapeshift?" Diana asked.
"I'll ask Mom." Hailey disappeared.
She reappeared two minutes later, holding a maroon, glowing blob.
"Here." She handed it Diana.
"Thanks." Diana absorbed it.
"Roll!" Claire said, then sat back, watching.
Envy hefted the sword, then started hacking at the thorns, trying to get to the castle.
"No! You shall never get to the princess!" Maleficent roared, then changed into a . . .duck?
"Crap, this wasn't what I wanted." She muttered, then changed again.
House cat.
"Nope."
Claire buried her head in her hands as several people facepalmed.
"Ah ha!" Dragon this time. "Shapeshifting is harder than you would think," Diana muttered. "ANYWAY! Hear me roar!"
Claire silently started to cry.
Envy held up the shield as Maleficent shot lightening at him.
"OW!" Envy screeched as one hit his foot, making him hop around, then land on the thorns.
Everyone froze as he howled.
"That is a clumsy prince." Kiara deadpanned.
Talia, Luciana and Greed ran over to him.
"Are you okay?" Luciana asked as Greed helped him up.
"No. Do I look okay?" Envy growled, pushing Greed away.
"Those are some pretty bad scratches." Kiara said.
Talia started to heal him, clucking her tongue in annoyance. "Try not to fall on the thorns again, okay?"
"Yeah yeah, tell your sister not to actually hit me." Envy said.
"Hey, you got in the way. Don't blame me, clumsy." The dragon said.
"Let me at her!" Envy growled as his siblings held him back.
Claire sighed. "If you're healed, let's get back to filming. We're almost done, alright?"
"Rats. I left it rolling." Talia sighed, messing with the camera.
They started over, and this time Envy didn't fall on the thorns. He successfully "killed" Maleficent, then raced for the castle. Kiara got in position, silently dreading what would happen. Envy walked into the room, stared at Kiara for a second, then shook his head.
"Can't do it." He turned and walked out of the room.
The room was actually the girl's room in the beach house, in case you were wondering.
"Envy. Just kiss her. It'll take two seconds." Claire sighed.
"No." He said, stubborn.
"I'll get you a chocolate parfait."
Envy caved. "Fine."
He turned, took a deep breath, then walked back to Kiara. Kiara froze as he leaned down. . .then burst into hysterical giggles. Envy pulled away, confused as she laughed.
"ARGH! I GIVE UP!" Claire threw up her script and stalked off.
"What's so funny?" Chase asked.
"Can't. . .stop!" Kiara gasped, tears running down her cheeks.
Once she had calmed down, they tried again. Envy bent down and lightly kissed her. He pulled away, and Kiara opened her eyes. Offset, everyone cheered.
It was finally over.
12/1/14
