Ashley Spencer: Elizabeth Life Stone
Gwen teleported quickly teleported lest she be late, the latest interview- err, well, it went on a bit longer than anticipated, and now she was in a rush. If she weren't in a rush, however, she may have noticed the excited bunch of people making their way toward the screen by the audition, to watch a video on their big screen.
However, she was in a rush, and she was never late.
She recognised the street straight away, she was here earlier this morning, for Elsa and Alexandra, she briefly wondered as she made her way toward the required house, if every single kid on this street had auditioned…
A kind face woman answered the door, Ashley's mother Lorelai Spencer, lead them into the kitchen, explaining that her daughter wasn't home yet, but should be back soon.
The two had polite conversation over a cup of coffee, until a small thin girl, with pale green eyes, and straight strawberry blonde hair which was worn in a high ponytail; was wearing a thin cotton white summer dress, came walking into the room, humming as she walked a Tupperware container filled with chocolate brownies.
"Look mum" she declares cheerfully as she places the brownies on the table "look what Adam made me, brownies with dried banana pieces in them, the way I like it- wasn't that thoughtful" she looks at her mother defiantly as she had clearly stiffened when the name 'Adam' was mentioned.
"Will you excuse us for a moment" Lorelai practically forces out in a very tense manner, before practically frog marching her daughter out of the room.
Through the paper thin walls, all Gwen could hear hushed whispering, but then the voices got louder, she slowly begun to hear more. Gwen had spent enough time with the s & s crew to not be uncomfortable overhearing something she probably shouldn't, so she calmly drank her coffee as the argument got louder.
"I AM NOT A CHILD" Ashley yelled at her mother.
"WELL YOU KEEP ACTING LIKE IT"
"YOU JUST THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHIING DON'T YOU"
"HE IS SEV-EN-TEEEEN"
"AAARG MUM IT'S MY LIFE I'LL DO AS I DAMN WELL PLEASE"
"YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER-"
"AAARGHH" her daughters yell cut Lorelai off and loud stomping could be heard, before vigorous, loud and angry piano playing could be heard.
Lorelai came back in her face pale, her dark blue eyes were wet, she ran a hand through her thick dark red hair "I probably should've handled that better"
She said shakily as she grabbed her cup and reheated it in the microwave, the loud piano music could be heard in the background.
"But, daughters, what can you do? When they scare you like that" she sighed as she looked apologetically at Gwen, as she waited in-front of the microwave.
"Just give her a few minuets' to cool off, you'll hear the piano music become softer" Lorelai gestured in the general direction of the lounge.
And she sat back down she looked to Gwen "she really is a good kid- even if she did sneak out last night"
"It's ok" Gwen nodded and gave the woman a kind smile "I may not have kids, but I know a few people who do, so I can understand it can be hard at times"
Lorelai gave a wry smile "Frustrating to the point of pulling your own hair out, but still worth it"
The two continued to talk until the music died down, Lorelai, she found was a wonderful host, who discussed in length her love of art and the few craft projects (currently jewelry) she had started, and was a prideful mother of her daughter and the amount of effort she put into her piano.
"She even started her own music video" she had stated at on point, which Gwen took note of to look at later.
Lorelai lead her down to the lounge, where Ashley was just getting of the piano seat, she looked at her mother wearily, and her mother looked at the daughter concerned but neither said anything- the argument was to be continued later.
Instead Lorelai left and Ashley gave a polite- if a slightly stiff smile toward Gwen, before promptly presenting the woman her hand.
After they introduced themselves properly, Ashleigh directed them toward the couches.
The girl was polite, the answers, were said in a clear, light voice and well-rehearsed. Showing a side, that she wanted the world to see, as if she wasn't quite comfortable being her-self.
Gwen decided to do something out of the normal, she gestured to the piano in the room "Would you like to play something?"
At first, the girl seemed a little surprised and uncertain "Are you sure?"
Gwen smiled and nodded her head "Go on" she encouraged.
Suddenly the girls face instantly brightened a huge smile on her face "Ok" and she sashayed her way to the piano. As soon as she sat on the seat, her body visibly relaxed- her entire posture was looser, her feet were comfortable and her hands effortlessly glided across the keys.
She looked peaceful and she played a melodic tune.
This was her zone, this is where she belonged.
Eventually, the girls eyes began to close, as she let her fingers pick up the tempo and allowed her fingers to do the talking.
Gwen laughed as she noticed the cheeky smile on the girls face. As the music changed to a bubblier tune.
"This is how I feel about Total Drama" Ashley explained.
It was a fun tune, it was choppy as it bounced all- over the place.
"And Chris" Ashley suddenly said. And the tune changed to a darker tune, played mainly in the lower notes.
Gwen gave a chuckle.
Ashley turned around on her seat and sat cross-legged on the stool, all with a practiced ease "So what do you think"
Gwen clapped "Very nice performance"
With the last interview of the very long day finished, she made her good-byes and exited before teleporting back to base. She was planning on going straight home and having a very nice long bath after she had handed in her reports.
"I knew you had it in you Gwenie" Web said as he made his way over to her, before her gave her a big hug "So proud" he faked choked with an even faker sob as he released her.
"Gwenie" she spun around at the sound of Chris, before she could retort he clapped his hands "Nice performance Gwenie, absolutely brilliant"
Performance? What were they talking about? She turned to see the interns smiling broadly into their screens.
"Gwenie my dear, you are brilliant" Heather swung her arm around her waist, "A delight as always"
She looked to Heather her eyes wide "What is going on?"
Michael grinned at her as he took her notes from her hands, but he didn't say anything. If someone didn't say anything soon she would explode.
She then spotted Dina casually leaning against the screen, her mind went to her interview with Temperance and understanding struck, she scowled.
The rest of the room burst into laughter.
Heather kissed her cheek "An absolute delight you are my friend"
She then guided Gwen to the exit, pressed one of the buttons on the wall and they waited for a desk "Now, we are going to go for coffee and you are going to tell me everything from your point-of-view"
Gwen was too tired and stunned, to do anything but comply.
