Enter the Diva

Ashley's POV

I walk into set, script in hand as I read over the lines and events for the episode. Today's just a table read to get to know the characters. Spencer's stopping by later to grab lunch with me. I walk into the board room and see Alex talking to a sandy haired blonde who laughs as Alex makes random comments and waves her arms around. He must be the guy, he reminds me a bit like Bridget. Blue eyes, blonde hair, looks like he came out of an Abercrombie catalog. Looks a little familiar.

"Hey lovebirds." I joke and Coop turns to me.

"Ha, ha. Well at least your ego hasn't gotten too far into your brain that your punctuality has ceased. Plus I'd watch it, I could kill you off in two seconds with a little re-write." She smirks, proud of herself.

"Okay, okay. It was a little joke. So who's token man-meat anyways?" I motion to Abercrombie.

"Hey, I'm Eric. Love your music, kind of a fan." He extends a hand with a laugh at my comment. He seems nice, and plus if Coop picked him he can't be a total douche right? I take his hand and smile.

"Always nice to meet a fan." I smile.

"Eric, here, is actually an athlete turned actor." Coop smirks. "You might know him from tennis."

Then it clicks, "You're Eric Vassar. Bridget's brother and US Open Winner."

He flashes his white smile at me, "The one and only."

"He's playing my straight love interest, Brett, as you've already pointed out. Doing me a bit of a favor so I didn't have to go through a bunch of cocky arrogant-"

"Hey, hey. Settle down, weirdo." Eric chuckles. "Not all us guys are bad."

"Eh, you only half count as one. You half-fairy." So he's bi. Wonder how that went down with the Vassar parents.

"Yeah, but with that reasoning you would be all dude." Coop opens her mouth and closes it. Point Eric.

"Touché, my friend." She acknowledges. "You have become the master." She puts her hands together and bows. Eric just looks at her amusedly.

"Hey Ash." Nikki walks in a waves. "Blonde boy wonder." She acknowledges Eric, and then wraps an arm around Alex's shoulder. "Oh so talented writer and stage wifey."

Alex narrows her eyes, "What do you want? You're doing the whole inflating my ego thing."

"Well, uh, Madison might be a smidge late to this meeting?...Like half an hour." Nikki braces her self for what looks like an explosion.

"Lovely, thanks Nikki." Alex says flatly and wrings her script, Nikki opens her eyes in surprise of the lack of explosion. "Guess we could start with our scenes first." We all sit around the table and look over our lines to the first scene. "So, basically I'm employing the 'dream' cliché to this senario after an accidental coma blah blah. Ash's character is Mandy who's an aspiring singer who's been signed. Madison is Theresa, a feisty closeted lesbian who works for the record label and decides to make Ash's life a living hell only because she has feelings for her. I meet them at a bar one night with Nikki fighting with each other about Theresa hiding their relationship and there's shoving and boom I hit my head on the bar. Cue dream sequence crap. I wake up in a bed with Jason and have weird memories, wanting to stop liking him on the inside but can't. Then I'm out of a coma eventually while the three of you are arguing over what happened, yada yada. We good?" Everyone nods. Wow, she really came up with all that.

It's been a half hour of running through lines. I've been trying not to laugh in the Jason-Alex scenes but its so hilarious. My character is kind of a bad ass, I like that she added a little bit of me to it.

"Alright, I'm here. No one panic." Madison says as she enters the room with her sunglasses on and her overly large bag.

"Yeah, 30 minutes late." Alex quips. "What was so important that you needed to be late?" Alex says calmly trying to hide her annoyance.

"Pft, my hair was not having a good day. I can't just walk around like that, paparazzi are around every corner." She sits in a seat and pulls out her script. "Now, I have a couple re-writes I'd like to make."

"Nice to see you too Madison. How's it goin? Oh these people? Yes they're your cast mates." Alex says annoyed.

"Whatever, Al." She rolls her eyes. "Anyways, I know who everyone in the room is. That's Nikki Rivers. You're Alex Cooper…the annoying friend of my ex and writer of the show." Alex raises a brow. "That's Eric Vassar, brother of the girl you couldn't keep." Alex looks like her temper is flaring up. "And that thing is the bottom feeder eating up my sloppy seconds." Oh, I know she did not just say that.

"Oh right, you're the girl that Spencer mentioned after we saw that herpes ad on tv, you better get that checked out, those back up dancers carry all sorts of things." I bite back as Madison narrows her eyes, preparing for a fight.

"You wanna go, chica?" Madison growls out, getting up out of her seat and I get up as well. We're in each other's faces across the table, staring each other down.

"Alright! Everyone stop!" Nikki yells out. "We need to get these episodes done and over with so none of us have to look at each other any longer than necessary. Got it?" Wow, she's definitely in charge. Which is understandable, Alex has issues being a peacekeeper with people who have hurt her friends. There's a mumble of okay's and we continue our table read. Madison and I barely make it through our lovey scenes but put full force into our fight scenes.

"Alright, time for lunch." Coop stands up. "I think that's about all we can do today. Tomorrow's staging everything and wardrobe fittings. See you then."

Spencer's POV

I'm at my studio, packing up to meet Ash for lunch. Hopefully she and Madison haven't killed each other yet. A buzz comes from my phone and then another.

Hey love, we're done and breaking for the day. Meet me here for lunch? Xoxo Ash.

Then I read the next one.

Spence, Madison is here probably waiting to get a good look at her handiwork on you, don't do anything stupid. She's already picked fights.-Alex

I send a quick reply to Ash telling her I'm on my way and one to Al to tell her to stop worrying. Everyone seems to be thinking I'm going to let Madison make a scene, I don't even know, but what I do know is that I need to get over there before Ash and Madison have an even bigger fight than what I'm hearing from Al. Wish me luck.
