Chapter Three
the next morning.
Will went back to the studio that morning to get a briefing. When he got there he saw his costars including his leading lady Drusilla Cecily and the films director Rupert Giles or Giles, as he preferred to be called.
"Nice of you to join us Mr. James" Giles said "Sorry I'm a bit late.. I got kinda lost." Will said
"Excuses, excuses. You are not the only one with a life here Mr. James. I don't like lateness in my cast so see that it doesn't happen again. I'm a very busy man you know. Just for the few minutes you were late I had to move my manicure to eleven and my massage till two plus I won't be able to see my Riley until three thirty!" Giles said.
"Riley?"
"My dog."
"Hiya Spikey?" Drusilla said.
"Spikey?"
"Yeah cause you're hair is Spikey and William is such a boring name. Plus I think costars should have nicknames for one another you know so that it's like some kind of special code that only we know. Don't you think that's a great idea? I think it is plus it will be fun to confuse people. What do you think or more importantly what are you going to call me? I hope it's something royal like princess or something exotic like hmmmmmm.... Princess or something sweet like... princess. So?"
Still a bit lost by everything she said Spike just agreed. Good thing the producers came and the meeting started.
A little later.
"Will, how was it?" Angel O Connor, Will's agent said as he went to his office.
"I want to kill myself."
"What? What happened? I don't think I can take anymore of Dru's bloody perkiness any more. It's killing me. Do you know she wants us to use code names? It's some ridiculous notion that she's got."
"Really? So what's her code name?"
"Well as if she didn't hint enough. it's princess, bloody princess!"
"Princess, Bloody Princess isn't that kinda long for a code name?"
"Ha ha you are so very funny."
"I know, I know. But truthfully you've got to stick with this part. Do you know how much press this film's getting? She may be an airhead but she a brilliant actress. Anyway, how long is this shoot going to take, two, three months?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Which reminds me about your name?"
"What about it?"
"It's too boring. We need something snazzy, something that screams "I'm a rebel without a cause" type."
"Why?"
"Makes you more popular. Plus that mysterious bad boy image is something you're female fans will eat up. And believe me you'll have a lot of those from this movie."
"So what are you suggesting?" "Well, that's the problem, I don't have any idea. Don't you have any nicknames? Oh, maybe we could use that code name of yours?"
"What? Spikey? No way. Plus if we use it that means that that silly bint will give me a new one. I shudder to think what new stupid code she's got."
"Spikey..hmmmmmmm.... I've got it! From now on you will be Spike James."
A/N: I know, I know nothing much happened. Oh and don't get me wrong I like Riley and Giles just as much as the next person, it just seemed fun to make them different. I think the direction I will be going for in the next chapter will be one wherein the movie's finished and what the effects are. But that of course is still up in the air. If you've got any suggestions, just email me. (
