An unusual early in the evening update tonight, all cause I'm slightly sick and just wanna go to bed tbh
But not without taking the time to rant. Yes, I'm sorry
Are you guys also disappointed not a single radio station or youtube channel took the effort to promote Season 4 in ANY way? I'm not sure if I should blame Clevertv, Radio Disney or Disneychannel PR, but I'm so incredibly sad about his.
PLEASE READ THIS ONE IT'S IMPORTANT. Cause it's about you guys. The reviews I've gotten for the past chapter were the sweetest, most thoughtful reviews yet and I wanna thank each and every one of you. I've already told you I'm having a hard time writing chapters with deep thoughts and I want to make up for it by describing every little detail for you guys, so you can imagine it all in your head. A lot of reviews have told me they appreciated that, and it helped me so much, thank you all! Some sweet people even told me they were HOOKED on the story, which is like the biggest compliment ever, you don't even know. ESPECIALLY USER BNSTAND, she reviewed every chapter, telling me exactly what she loved and what she felt, which made me smile for the whole day, making people ask me why I was so happy. I already PMed you a thank you, but once again, THANK YOU!
The next two chapters will definitely lead up to something huge, something you'll love, which is why I'll probs update a bit sooner next time, just cause I can't wait for you guys to read it.
Enjoy!
''What the heck happened in there?'' Raini is looking at Laura from top to bottom with judging eyes, a small smile playing on her lips. Calum and she exchange a knowing look. Laura looks down and sees what they mean; her shorts had risen an inch or two, dangerously showing more skin than she wanted, the hem of her tank top was cropped up and a strap had fallen off her shoulder. Feeling her hair, she notices it being even messier than when she got out of bed this morning.
''We had a pillow fight,'' she explains, but adds, looking up, after two seconds of thinking, ''but without the pillows…'' Raini looks at her confused but Laura shakes her head, not being able to explain.
''You had a pillow fight, without any pillows? That doesn't make any sense.'' Raini comments and looks at the confused Calum behind her.
''Can I change now, please?'' she pushes through her two friends who watch her enter her room until the door closes and then turn to each other.
''I give it a week.'' Raini looks at him knowingly. Calum shakes his head and puts his hand out for her to shake.
''No way, they're in denial. At least two.'' she looks at him while shaking her curls. Shaking her hands, they make the silent bet and return to their rooms.
''Today, we're not gonna shoot,'' Kevin told the four actors at breakfast, ''you probably all noticed it snowed overnight. We're gonna use this to make your promotional photo's. The snow covered city will give that extra something we need. We didn't really prepare for it, but we don't know how fast the snow can disappear, so we better use this day.''
''I'm so excited!'' Laura tells her three co-stars while they walk towards their rooms to get their makeup done and clothes sorted out. Stepping into the elevator, she fixes her still messy hair. In the mirror of the elevator, she sees Ross staring at her. She answers his look with a wide smile, but in response only gets a little shake from his head, seeming to wake up from a trance, and a small smile.
''Let's meet in the hallway in fifteen, kay?'' Raini asks them and they all nod before all returning to their own rooms where their personal stylists wait to dress them for the photo shoot. They would get their first set of clothes and makeup on, while the rest would get transported to their shooting scenes, which were still a surprise.
They had all been dressed in their character's styles with a touch of their own taste. Raini had a shiny purple coat on with aspects of animal print, Calum wore bright orange pants with a nice, brown coat over it, like he could've chosen himself, Ross wore the coat and scarf he had worn in the first scene, topped off with his red sneakers and Laura had traded her high black heels in for something more comfortable. Medium high, brown cowboy boots, dark jeans and a light brown coat, just a shade lighter than her chestnut curls, which hung loose on both sides of her face.
Entering the elevator again, Calum reveals his phone, holding it in front of him horizontally.
''This asks for a selfie.'' and he starts posing against the wall of the elevator, the usual model pose he uses often. Raini holds up a peace sign and sticks out her tongue, while Laura grabs hold of Ross's red scarf and holds it in front of her nose and mouth, so only her big, brown eyes are visible. A single curl hangs over the scarf. Just before Calum snaps the photo, Ross grabs one of Laura's big curls and curls it around his finger, looking in the camera with a confused face. A snap sound tells them the photo has been taken and they all gather around Calum's phone to see it.
''Cute photo! Post it on Instagram,'' and Calum taps the share button, ''I'm gonna check it now.'' Raini comments and laughs seconds later. ''Met these random kids in the elevator, they seem cool, even though they keep calling me 'Dez'. Send a search team if I haven't updated in 3 hours. Love that caption, Calum.'' Calum grins at her compliment and scrolls through the comments that are already beginning to flow. Some are questions about the movie, some telling them they're babies, they're used to it, and some are the endless Raura comments. They always make them laugh.
''Hey, we're no kids! I'm turning twenty in less than a week!'' Laura protests jokingly and nudges Ross, ''This one right here is still a little baby, though.'' they all laugh when Laura ruffles his hair teasingly and Ross slaps her hands away, smiling.
''I know a lot of people I can make really mad when I tell them you messed up my hair.'' he warns her in which Laura holds her hands up in surrender.
''Is everyone present? Okay, today we will visit the two places where we will shoot some photos. The locations will be the very important scene this movie, Central Park, and, very exciting, the Empire State Building!'' the people not knowing this information cheer and talk loudly with each other.
''That's also our first location. If everyone can follow us?''
''I need you all four on a line looking over New York. Raini get closest to me, then Laura, then Ross and Calum at the end. Raini can you step back a bit, Laura too. Turn your body a bit my way, yes, like that. Just keep moving, acting like you're sightseeing, Ross can you lean a bit more over Laura, that's good. Calum lean over the railing a little bit, be careful, not too far. Keep moving, guys. Can I get a little more wind on the back, please?'' The photographer gave them all sorts of directions to make the photos like he wanted them to turn out.
Just having a good time and enjoying the view, Laura let her gaze skim over the city. They had taken dozens of other photos, using different backgrounds and poses. Their usual jumping pose, superhero and just funny pictures, their speciality.
''Can you see that thin building there on the right, with the point on top?'' she hears Ross suddenly whisper in her ear as he points in a direction at 2 o'clock. She follows the length of his arm, trying to figure out which building he's looking at, ''That's The Top Of The Rock.''
''Wait, which one?'' she asks him, still confused. She feels two large hands holding the sides of her head and slowly turning it in the direction she has to look. His head rests on her shoulder. ''The one that turns into a pyramid on top.''
''Oh, I see it!'' she tells him happily, hitting him on his arm. ''Isn't that the one where that picture of the workers spending their break on a beam floating high above the city has been taken?''
''Yeah, that's the one.'' Ross laughs at her never ending supply of random knowledge.
''Love it, Laura and Ross. Keep the Auslly chemistry up. A few more shots and we're done here.''
''Keep your scarf with you, or I'm gonna choke you with it.'' Laura warns Ross when she gets hit in the face once more with the end of his long, red scarf. Ross laughs out loud and grabs the end to rub it in her face teasingly. Laura fights back and tries to push him away when a loud voice disturbs them.
''Ross, makeup!'' Laura's stylist warns him.
''It's okay, we're pretty much done. I just need Laura and Ross in Central Park.'' the photographer laughs it off. The four release the railing and talk on about the passing photo shoot, when Laura and Ross are being motioned by their stylists and the writers.
''Raini, Calum, you can return to the hotel, we just need a few more shots and then we're done for today. Ross, Laura, you can change in your second pair of clothes and we'll return to Central Park.''
They nod understanding and walk with their stylists.
''You did not do that!'' Laura is short on breath, causing her to cough while she laughs loudly. Ross keeps nodding and looks at her amusingly.
''Then Rydel came in, imagine; I still had the ice cream scoop in my hand, Ellington holding the pan lid as some sort of shield and literally on every wall, small scoops of vanilla ice cream, slowly sliding down.'' Ross adds to his story, using his hands to describe every detail which makes it easy to picture. Laura almost dies, imagining Rydel's shocked, Ellington's seemingly innocent and Ross's extremely guilty face trying to hold his laughter.
''That's by far, the best story I've heard in a while.'' Ross still enjoys Laura laughing so hard, so he's not planning on letting it stop. They were walking towards Central Park, the streets white as snow, the sky turning a shade of grey, and the air so cold, you felt it in your eyes.
''Hey, Laura,'' he asks her, looking down with a serious look in his eyes, ''Why did the bicycle fall over?'' she looks up, holding her laugh and shakes her head, signalling she doesn't know the answer. He looks straight in front of him when telling her the punchline. ''He was two tired.'' Next to him, he could see Laura covering her face while struggling to keep up with him, laughing hysterically.
''I think I just found a new all-time favourite.'' she tells him while shaking her head giggling. He makes a bow next to her.
''You're very welcome.''
''Mommy, look, that's Austin!'' they suddenly hear behind them and turn around quickly. A small blond haired boy, probably about seven or eight, looks up to them while pulling his mother's hand. Laura and Ross look at each other laughing and kneel down to the little boy.
''Hey, dude, nice meeting you. I'm Austin Moon, you probably already know Ally too, right?'' Ross asks him while holding his hand out for the boy to shake, ''What's your name?''
''Carter!'' he answers while shaking Ross's enormous hand in comparison to his tiny one while looking up to his mother proudly. ''I've seen you on my TV, what are you doing in New York, I thought you lived in Miami?'' they exchange a look and silently agree to stick to the story of the movie they're filming, since he'll be seeing that in a few months.
''We're only here for a few days. You see, we're meeting these two winners of a fan competition here and we're working on a song with them.'' Laura explains to Carter giving his mother a subtle wink.
''A fan competition? How come I didn't hear of that, I'm your number one fan, I would've won for sure!'' Carter sadly tells them and they look at them with sad eyes. Laura lays one hand on his shoulder comforting.
''Sorry, buddy. But I'm sure there will be more and you'll have a fair chance of winning,'' Ross cheers him up and ruffles his hair, ''do you want your mom to take a photo of us as a memory?'' Carter nods happily and his mother takes out her phone to snap a few photos of the three. They give him a big hug and Laura gets up to stretch her sore legs. She sees Ross doing the 'What up?' handshake that lights up Carter's face and he gives him another hug. Smiling, she sees how good Ross is with little kids.
''We'll see you soon, make sure you win the next competition!'' he reminds him and they wave him goodbye as Carter's mom thanks them.
''Little fans are the best, right?'' Ross asks her as they walk along.
''He was really adorable. Kinda looked like you.'' she agrees and watches the kid walking in the opposite direction, giving him a final wave.
''Did you just call me adorable?'' he looks at her grinning. Laura laughs as they walk closer to the main entrance.
Okay
In my opinion, this sucked melons
This is the first time I've thought that about a chapter but I guess I wasn't inspired
The thing is, I have this really busy month coming and I wanted to write some extra's so I can stick to my usual update time
I really really wanted to include a photo shoot, don't worry the Auslly one is for next time
I mentioned Laura's birthday, that's something you should look forward to, should be in a chapter or two
Also Ross's birthday is coming up the month after, but if that will be in the period you're all looking forward to, if you catch my drift
Anyhow, here are some reviews I've been dying to answer!
sicklscaler chapter 9
One question was that last part them acting? Wish there was more to read though. Thanks for the update. - Yeah, it was! Sorry if that wasn't clear, just remember that, once you see the story being written in cursive and I use the characters names instead of the real ones, they're filming a scene. Also, I'm very aware my chapters are shorter than other stories you might read. Not trying to make excuses, but writing chapters is taking especially long for a person who's native language isn't English and I'm really working on it. I love English and I'm improving it, but, sadly, my vocabulary is limited. Which is why I stick to describing details
Reece Grayson chapter 9
OMG! OMG! Why have I only read this story now? THIS STORY IS AMAZEBALLS! Keep up the good work! :D
bnstand chapter 1
I just started reading this story yesterday and omg! I am so hooked its crazy! I LOVE the storyline you have going on here! Love the idea of an Austin & Ally movie!
RossShipsRaura chapter 9
That was amazing! I was biting my nails for the majority of it, omg. Can't wait until the next update! - These are just three of the many amazing reviews I was talking about, you make my heart melt
Bnstand, to answer a few of your questions:
Ross's song is Dance With Me by Olly Murs. There's just something about the vibe of the dude that reminds me of Ross, which is why I'm using multiple songs by him in the story!
The restaurant is slightly based on Friday's, I'm not sure if you know it? I've only been to America twice, but these restaurants were my favourite and I always like those 80s diners, so cute!
The review about you being able to visualize was the best one I've gotten, ever. It's exactly what I'm trying people to experience by reading it, and I'm so glad it worked with at least one of you, you're amazing
Last thing: I have exactly 80 reviews now and my goal is getting a hundred in two chapers, which will def work. But to get it going a bit more, I need your help
WHAT IS A PERFECT THING TO DO ON AN EVENING, WHICH COULD BE A DATE, BUT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE? I've got pretty much everything figured out, except a little thing, this. Would mean a lot if you could suggest some things!
