Chapter 8

I looked deep into my dark tea that was present in my mug I was holding. It was grasped between my two hands, and the heat from heat was quickly fading away. I was lost in thought. It wasn't any particular thoughts, just any random things that came to me.

"More sugar?" I snapped out of my own little world of thoughts and looked up to answer the voice. It was Robbie, offering a small tin of sugar to me for my tea. I shook my head politely. He nodded and added some to his own late. Travis, Lily, and Ray were also there. We were all quietly seated on the big couch at Mickey's, all with our own refreshments. They still had the look of shocked on their faces. It had been a quiet visit to Mickey's.

When I confided in them at the warehouse during the broadcast, they couldn't believe what I was telling them. Of course, I couldn't blame them. If someone had came up to me and said that they watched me on a TV show, I would say they were bloody mad and would stay as far away from them as possible. At first, that's how they reacted. They had been absolutely silent as I explained my situation, with me practically pouring out all my thoughts and fears, during the music breaks. The fact that I knew about RFR, convinced them that I was telling the truth.

"So, let me get this straight....," Lily broke the silence. "In your wo- I mean, where you are from...," she added hastily. "We...," she motioned to Ray, Travis, Robbie, and herself. "are characters on a TV show......?"

"Yes." I replied, as I nodded my head. She had, or in fact, they all had asked me this question many times before after I divulged this information. Robbie had become very engrossed in pouring sugar in his late, and Travis tapped his mug thoughtfully.

"On TV..." Travis started "What exactly do they show about us?" They all looked at me, curiously, waiting for an answer. They all wanted to know the details.

"Well, a lot of things..." I said quietly. They raised there eyebrows and looked uneasily at each other as I continued. "They show your near misses of being caught by Waller, group feuds, Waller's romance, your c-..." I held my tongue right there. I was about to say crushes and realized something. There were secrets told on the show, that they haven't even told each other yet. Such as Ray's secret undying love to Lily. As obvious as it was, she still didn't know about it yet. There was also the Robbie and Kim dilemma. It was a funny thought actually, that viewers from all around Canada and the U.S. knew about these things, but they all didn't.

Realizing they all gave me a questioning look about the abrupt halt in my sentence. I quickly thought of something. "-ampagin, Lily's campaign...." I finished quickly..

"Oh no.....people saw that..." Lily groaned, pulling her fingers through her hair. Robbie and Travis looked at each other and smirked. Ray keeled over and grabbed his stomach, laughing uncontrollably. I bit my lip, trying not to laugh.

"You had PINK hair!" Ray cried between hoots of laughter.

"Not to even mention that that tons of people saw it on TV, over and over with reruns....," added Robbie gleefully.

"Would you two shut up?" Lily smacked them each with a couch pillow, but it didn't die down their snickers. "Ray, you shouldn't be talking, with all the stupid stuff you've done..." Ray quieted down at once with a look of horror on his face. Travis put the back of his hand over his mouth and chuckled to himself at Ray's reaction. Lily snapped her head to him, holding the pillow threateningly. "Don't you be laughing too, I am sure they had your fair share of embarrassing moments on....that show...."

"They kind of did.." I piped up, with a sly smile. Travis gave me a pleading look. "They had a WHOLE episode of Travis's Miss C experience...."

Lily put on a triumphant smile at Travis glum expression. "Ha ha! Don't throw stones at people's windows when you live in a glass house, mmkay?" Lily teased, while hitting him playfully with a pillow. Travis grabbed the pillow away from her and wrapped his arms around it, keeping it away from her. I watched as Lily grabbed it anyway and yanked with all her might to get it out of his grasp. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Ray smirked and sat up in his seat.

"Do I have a fan club?!" Ray asked me enthusiastically. He jumped up and down in his seat like a boy in a toy store would, clapping his hands together, "Do I? Do I? Do I?....." He looked around at rest of the gang's faces. I watched with amusement from my end of the couch as his bouncing slowed down when he saw all the raised eyebrows he was getting. Robbie shook his head and laughed.

"Where did you get that idea?"

"Well, "Ray began in a matter-of-fact tone, that wasn't so serious. "People who are on TV have fans...."

"Not all people," Travis commented. "I don't remember....."

"No! People who are actually liked," Lily snorted as Ray put his hand over his heart proudly. Then he leaned over to Travis and gave him a pitiful pat on the shoulder. "Sorry about that Swami....you just lack that." In one swift movement Travis's hand was gripping Ray's shoulder. "Okay! Okay! Just let go!" Travis let go and Ray started to rub his shoulder while giving Travis a dirty look.

"You can sort of say you have fan clubs...." I started.

"See? I'm loved!" Ray dramatically put his hand to his forehead and fell back across our laps. We all looked at each other and nodded in a silent agreement. Then with one quick movement, we all shoved him off and he fell off the couch, crashing to the floor.

"The clubs are not exactly for you though, if you really think about it..." I stated. Ray's head popped from the ground. His hair was pointing in all directions, and his eyes were coming back into focus.

"What do you mean...." He asked as he attempted to smooth out his hair.

"The clubs are actually for Ali Mukhadam..."

"Ali?! Ali who?" Ray gave me a confused look as he got up from the ground and wiped his pants off with his hands. The rest of the gang was curious to know who this mystery person was too.

"Ali is the person who portrays you in the show..." Ray still gave me a bewildered look I sighed. "In other words...he's the actor that plays Ray."

It took a couple of seconds until someone said something. "Wow, that's kind of creepy if you think about it.." Robbie commented

"Is that why you were acting all weird when you said hello to me this morning?" Lily turned and asked me. I nodded sheepishly.

"I thought that you were the actress, because before I came here I was on the set......."

"B-But I'm Ray......." Ray cut off, he seemed not to be taking this at all well.

"Really eerie, sort of like someone looks exactly like you, and plays your life out for their job..." Travis said, answering Robbie's first statement. Robbie nodded his head in agreement. Ray stood there gaping around, and pointing to himself.

"But I'm Ray!" continued Ray.

"Do you watch the show often?" Robbie asked.

"Sure, it's a very good show." I answered with a smile. "The acting is great..." Ray mad a face "But most importantly the characters.' I added. They all smiled. I sighed a breath of relief, feeling better that they, maybe except Ray, were taking this whole thing really well. Even if we didn't get to the real point of why I was telling them all about this, it was still all good though. I would talk to them later about how I got here, my REAL situation.

"I'm Ray....the one and only...." Ray argued quietly with a pout on his face.

Good chapter? Bad chapter? You got to tell me...REVIEW! :)
