Chapter 5: Movie Time

The Next Day

"Gaz, where are you taking me?" asked Tommy annoyed. Gaz is leading him to where she wants him to be at. She also blind folded him.

"Look, I know you are angry at me, but we are supposed to spend two weeks together. At least do what everyone else wanted so not to disappoint them." Gaz said reason singly.

"Fine, but when this is over, it's really over." Tommy said with an annoyed sigh.

"We'd here." Gaz said, stopping Tommy in front of a huge gate.

"Finally! Can I take this blind fold off now?" asked Tommy impatiently.

"Go ahead." Gaz said, smirking.

Tommy removes his blind fold and gasps.

"I don't believe it!" exclaimed Tommy.

Gaz has led the both of them right to where Susie has suggested them to go: the studio known as Galaxical Movies!

"Believe it, Tommy." said Gaz with a smile.

"This is Galaxical Movies! What are we doing here?!" asked Tommy still stunned.

"Well, I figured that since you're a film director, you would want a chance to help out in an actual movie production. I can give you that chance as a way to show how sorry I am for my reaction." Gaz explained.

"If we could get in." Tommy said suspicious.

"No problem. Watch this."

Gaz knocked on the gate. A porthole above opens up and a security guard pokes his head out to see whose knocking. Upon seeing Tommy and Gaz, he frowns.

"No tourists on the set. Now get lost!" snapped the guard.

"Wait!" Gaz said before the guard can poke his head back in. "My name is Gaz Membrane, the daughter of Professor Membrane."

The guard gasped. "You mean, the Professor Membrane, the host of that famous show now in its new season?!"

"Yes, that's him."

"And you're his daughter?"

"That's her." Tommy said nodding.

The guard chuckled. "Well, why didn't you say so? Now that's a horse with a different color!" The guard poke his head back in and opens the gate. "Come on in!"

Gaz smiles as she and Tommy goes in. 'I hope this works. I really do.' Gaz thought.

Later

"So, Ms. Membrane, you came here because your friend here wants to help out with an actual movie?" asked a movie executive on the set of their latest movie.

"That's right, sir. He is a good film director. You should try him to see how good he is." Gaz explained.

"Well, I don't normally do this for anyone, but for a daughter of the famous Professor Membrane, and not that insane son he talked about, I will make an exception. We'd let him direct a 2nd unit scene. And if he's good enough, we'd keep him on for the remainder of the shooting." The movie executive explains.

"So, what movie is it?" asked Tommy eagerly. "It isn't that Reptar crossover that stunk did it?"

"Nope and good thing we didn't make that. No, this movie is called "Tarry Knotter and the Physician's Rock", based on the new book series." explained the movie executive.

Tommy is thrilled. This is his chance, to show how good he is! And a chance for Gaz to make up and get her love Tommy back.

Later

Tommy was on the set with the director, Tommy Walled, talking to him.

"Alright Tommy here's the deal, I'll be doing the main scene with Tarry and Tom...man there are too may Toms on this set." He joked. Tommy laughed. "Anyway, I'll handle those two; you handle this scene with Lillian." The director pointed to somewhere in the script.

Tommy looked over his copy of the script. The scene was Lillian looking over a book about the Physician's Rock.

Later

Tommy was there with some of the crew members.

"Well now, let's get started." He smiled. He looked around. "Hey, we're our Lillian?"

"Eh... she's on her way." A crew member told her.

"Great!" Tommy moaned. He made it towards the other side of the set and bumped into someone.

"Hey, watched where you're going." A voice snapped.

Tommy looked to see the actress who played Lillian with her head down. "Sorry." he said.

She lifted her head and looked at him and gasped. "Wow, you're cute." She said. Tommy laughed nervously.

Elsewhere

"What is the Physician's Rock?" The actor playing Tarry asked the actor playing Tom.

"CUT CUT CUT!" Director Tom Walled complained. He sighed very irritated. "Man, this is what I get for hiring a kid just because he's a dead ringer for the character."

Gaz was nearby and scoffed. "I've read these books and even I can do a better Tarry than him."

Tom moaned. "Ok, David, come here." The actor playing Tarry (David) came up to him. "Listen, trying and be a bit , yet fascinated."

"What do you mean?" David asked, confused.

Gaz finally had enough as she approached them. "What he means is, you've got to be more like this." She moved so that David saw the side of her and she repeated his lines. "What is the Physician's Rock?" She said in a different voice.

Tom clapped his hand once. "Yes, that is EXACTLY what I wanted. You should go into acting."

Gaz blushed. Then she looked at David, who just stared at her. "Hey, you ok?"

"You're beautiful." David smiled.

Gaz, nervously, smiled and laughed.

As the movie resumes production, the actors, actresses, production crew, etc. have breaks to talk, discuss the script, set up props for certain scenes. So far, it seems that whatever anger Tommy feels towards Gaz the night she blows up in her face has disappeared. But with one problem gone, another comes in its place.

"So how did you get into production?" asked the actress who played Lillian during one break.

"Well, I got the talent while playing with my dad's camera while I was young. And when I meant young, I meant baby like." Tommy explains.

"Wow. You must be cute when you're a baby as well. So, since the break isn't done yet, how about we have lunch? I figured that the director is allowed to do that with his actors or actresses?" asked the actress.

If Tommy didn't know any better, he could swear that the girl is flirting with him. "Uh I guess." said Tommy nervously. 'Is this girl hitting on me??? Doesn't she know I'm older than her?!'

Meanwhile with Gaz

"So while you are a Goth back home, it doesn't mean you should be one all the right?" asked David.

"Well sure, once upon a time I hated the whole human race, but a few years later after moving out of my home town and living in a new one, I changed my whole outlook on life." Gaz said.

"I bet you have one boyfriend." smirked David, thinking that Gaz doesn't have one.

"Uh...I am not sure." Gaz said, not sure if her plan to make up with Tommy would work or not.

"If you're not sure, how about we go out for lunch since our break isn't over yet? I am impressed by your past life and your new one." said David.

If Gaz didn't know any better, she shoulda sworn that David is flirting with her.

"Uh I guess." Gaz said nervously. 'Is this kid flirting with me??? Doesn't he know I'm older than him?!'

Later

At Gaz's table, David is just looking at her happily. Gaz notices this and sighs.

She looked away for a moment and saw Tommy. Then she turned towards him. "You know, David. I..." Before she could finish, David kissed her on the lips. Gaz's eyes bugged out. "What the heck was that?"

"What? Aren't guys supposed to kiss a guy he likes?" David asked.

"Yeah, but..." Gaz moaned. "Look, David, you're a nice guy but, face the facts, you're 11, I'm 19...BIG difference ya know."

David sighed. "But...I KNOW I'm going to be a big hit celebrity...well...I...I guess..."

Gaz sighed. "Look I'm sure you'll find someone, but you've got to wait, or at least find someone your own age."

David nodded. "Thanks Gaz."

Gaz smiled then she saw Tommy with the actress playing Lillian (her names Emma). "I wonder if he's calmed down yet." Then she got up and walked over.

Tommy is looking for Gaz. Emma is smiling at him. "You're really cute you know." Tommy sighed as he looked around for Gaz.

'I think maybe I was too harsh with Gaz.' Tommy thought.

"You hear me?" Emma asked.

Tommy sighed again. "Emma, listen I..." He turned to face her and she kissed him on the lip.

Tommy was able to see Gaz walk up and he freaked out. Gaz saw the whole thing and was very furious. "SO! This is what I get? You were molesting a kid?"

Tommy pulled out. "She did it first."

Gaz scoffed. "Sure." With that she walked out further into the park.

Tommy ran after her.

Later

Gaz continued to walk up a mountain of some sort.

Tommy looked to the side. "Wait, this place seemed familiar." Then he saw a group of people below, across from them, looking up. "Oh crap, this is that disaster set they show off." He ran after Gaz.

"GAZ!" He called.

"Go away." Gaz growled.

Tommy continued. "Listen to me...I..."

Gaz turned around. "NO, you listen to ME. I said Go..."

Before she could finish, the show started and things became like a disaster movie as a tanker started to fall, water splashed, and fire exploded. The water started to knock Gaz off, Tommy jumped after her and the two fell.
