Hey babes! Back again with a new chapter for ya! This one's got a meeting between two characters that was really fun to play with. As well as more of Skye being a rookie in the movie world and Grant doing his best to calm her down. :)

Enjoy!

"Hey, Grant," Skye calls out to her co-star, trying to get his attention as he walks in the opposite direction away from her across the lot. "Grant!"

The man in question turns and quirks an eyebrow. He then makes his way toward her, Max dutifully right at his side like he usually is if he isn't waiting in the trailer. "Hey, what's up?"

"Um, do you know why there are more people and cameras on set than usual?" she asks him, looking around the set as she bends down to greet Max. "I don't think any of these people even work on the movie."

Grant follows her line of sight and then nods. "Ah, yes. That would be the camera crew for our interviews today."

Her eyes go wide at hearing that little tidbit. "Interview? What interview?" She stands up straight again despite Max's whines in protest of losing her attention. "No one told me anything about doing an interview. Unless they did and I just blanked and forgot about it. Because that's definitely, most likely what happened."

He laughs quietly. "Relax, Skye. It'll only last for a few minutes. All they want to do is talk to the both of us and get an idea of what the movie is going to be about without us revealing too much about the whole thing."

She nods her head. "Okay, yeah, I think I can do that."

"Good. They'll be ready soon, I think, so we just need to relax a little bit until they're ready for us."

"Right, yeah, good call."

"Also, they're interviewing Fitz and Trip, too, so it won't be just us. We'll all be separated, though, I think."

"So it won't be a group interview, then?"

"No."

She lets out a heavy sigh. "Well, that just does absolute wonders for my confidence."

He smiles. "I promise you everything will be fine."

"I'm going to choose not to believe you because I'm pretty sure you can't promise me something like that when you have no real control over it."

"Maybe not. But I think the interviewer is Roxie. She's pretty cool. She's interviewed me a few times before on other movies I've done so you'll be perfectly fine with her."

"I really, really hope you're right. If you're wrong about this and she's a total jerk than I am so going to hate you."

Grant laughs quietly. "Alright. Whatever you say."

"Hey, everyone, it's your girl Roxie here. Right now, I'm lucky enough to be on the set of one of the most anticipated films, Secret War: Fire and Earth, and I'm having the best time. I'm being joined right now by one of the stars of the film, Skye. She's a newcomer to this whole scene, but from what I saw while on set today, that doesn't seem to be stopping her from doing an incredible job with the role she's been given." She turns toward Skye with a smile. "So, first things first, this is slated to be a huge blockbuster release. How did you get involved with this movie?"

"I actually have my agent to thank for my involvement in this movie," Skye tells the interviewer, speaking into the microphone in her own hand, and doing her best not to look directly into the camera. That was one of the biggest instructions, to look more at Roxie while talking. "I was doing mainly just indie films for a few years while in college and once I graduated too, and after I agreed to let her be my agent she started looking for auditions for me that she thought I'd like or enjoy. She came to me one day a few months ago and told me about this audition for a superhero movie and that she thought it'd be a perfect fit for me."

"And she must have been right if you're here now."

Skye nods. "Yeah. I've definitely learned to trust her judgment over the short time that I've known her. She's very good at what she does and I've learned to never doubt her or her feelings about auditions."

"And what was the audition process like for you with this movie?"

She takes a deep breath. "Honestly, it was very nerve-wracking." She laughs quietly. "I had a couple of callbacks after my first audition before the chemistry read, where I met Grant when we read together for the first time."

"And what was that like? Was it instant chemistry between you two?"

She shifts a little on her feet. "Um, to be honest, even though it's kind of embarrassing to admit, I was actually a little star struck when I first met him. But I tried my best not to show it because I didn't want him to think I was just another crazed fan. We clicked pretty well after that, though, and obviously, our read went really well."

"You two definitely have chemistry on screen, that's for sure."

Skye smiles. "Thanks. I mean, the casting directors clearly saw something there if they cast both of us in this movie. I haven't known him for very long, but he's easily become one of my best friends and I'm so lucky to be able to work with him every day. He's honestly taught me so much about this industry that I didn't know before. I really don't know if I'd survive any of this if it wasn't for him."

Roxie smiles. "That's so sweet, I love that. And what can you tell us about this movie?"

"Well, without revealing too much, from what we've shot so far, this movie is going to be a very exciting one. It's got a little bit of everything, so hopefully, anyone who goes to see it will be able to enjoy some aspect of it."

"And what about your character? What is she like?"

"She's amazing. Her name is Daisy Johnson, and she's a pretty sociable person whose life gets completely turned around when she gets these new abilities that she was not at all prepared for. The whole thing is pretty scary for her so it's really fun getting to play all of that."

"That's great. And finally, is there anything else you want to say about the movie?"

"It has a pretty great cast and crew and we're definitely working hard to make this the best movie that we can."

.

"Hey, everyone, it's your girl Roxie here. Right now I'm lucky enough to be on the set of Shield Studios' newest project, Secret War: Fire and Earth, obviously having the time of my life, and I'm currently being joined by one of Hollywood's most talented heartthrobs to date, Grant Ward."

Grant laughs quietly at the remark. "Thank you, Roxie. It's great to see you again, as always."

"The feeling's mutual." She takes a deep breath. "So, if everything goes well with this movie, it'll be another blockbuster opening to add to your massive repertoire. How does that feel?"

"Honestly? It feels pretty great. I love getting to create something like this that's going to entertain people years down the road. It's one of the best parts of the job."

"I'm sure it is. And what initially drew you to this movie?"

"I thought it sounded interesting," he admits. "I've been doing a lot of romantic comedies the last couple of years so I wanted to try my hand at something different. This movie seemed like the perfect way to do that. And I've got some pretty great castmates, so that makes it even more fun to come to work every day."

"That's always nice. From what I understand, you and Antoine Triplett have actually worked together before on a few films. Has it been fun getting to work with him again?"

Grant nods. "Oh, definitely. Trip and I have been friends for years now, so it's always fun getting to work with him. We always tend to have a good time. And this movie isn't any different."

"And how do you get along with your leading lady?" she asks him.

Grant smiles at the thought of his friend. "We actually get along pretty well. We met at the chemistry read and we may have only met a few months ago, but I think I can say with confidence that she's one of my closest friends. She definitely makes working on this movie pretty interesting. In the best way possible."

"That's so great to hear. And, without revealing too much, what can you tell us about this movie?"

He takes a deep breath. "Well, it's definitely going to be an interesting one. We've shot some pretty cool stuff so far, and I really think people are going to enjoy this. We've worked hard on it and are very excited to share it with everyone."

"And you're playing one of the main characters in this movie."

He nods. "I am. His name is James Taylor James, though I believe he just goes by JT throughout the film, and he's a pretty interesting guy. He's a bit of a loner, doesn't have too many people he can rely on, only a few close friends, so it's been fun exploring what happens when he meets Daisy, Skye's character, who is the only other person who knows what he's going through after they get their abilities. It definitely makes for an interesting story."

"Well, it definitely seems like this movie is shaping up to be something that all fans can enjoy."

"That's what we're hoping for, but you never really know until it premieres."

"So, your first big interview on set. How do you think it went?" Grant asks Skye as they break for lunch, walking side by side toward Craft Services.

Skye tilts her head in thought. "Honestly? I think it went okay."

He quirks a brow at her. "Just okay?"

She nods. "Yeah. It probably could have gone a lot better, but I was so nervous about doing it in the first place that I think my nerves may have gotten the better of me."

He waves her off. "That's natural. Nothing at all to be ashamed of."

"I never said I was ashamed," she replies. "Just a little worried that I came out of the interview sounding like a bumbling mess."

"I'm sure it was fine," he assures her.

"Well, I guess we won't know for sure until the interview is released. And then we'll let all of the fans decide if I looked like an idiot or not."

"Alright, if that's what you want."

"It is."

He laughs quietly as he heads for the Craft Services tent, eager to get some food in him before they have to get back to work on their next big scene.

*IMGrantWard: Everyone. Please help me convince *Skye that she does not look like an idiot in this interview. Thank you in advance.

*Skye: *IMGrantWard Nice try, weirdo. But I still think I look like an idiot.

*CallMeBobbi: *IMGrantWard *Skye Neither of you looks like an idiot.

*DrLincoln: *CallMeBobbi *IMGrantWard *Skye Nah, Skye definitely looks like an idiot

*Skye: *DrLincoln *CallMeBobbi *IMGrantWard You're a great brother, Lincoln. Your confidence in me is astounding.

*DrLincoln: *Skye *CallMeBobbi *IMGrantWard Just doing my part to keep you grounded.

"You looked like an idiot in your interview too, mate, just so you know."

Grant glances up from his phone to see Kebo stepping up inside his trailer. "Hey. What are you doing here?"

"What? Can't a guy come visit his friend on his movie set?"

"Usually, yeah. But you've never visited me on set anytime I do a movie. So why is this time so special?"

Kebo shrugs, leaning against the wall next to him. "I wanted to finally meet your beautiful co-star everyone seems to think you're dating. In fact, I'm a bit offended that you haven't introduced us yet."

He laughs quietly. "Yeah, because I really want the two of you to meet. That's just setting myself up for double the teasing and mocking."

"Exactly why you should have introduced us earlier."

Grant shakes his head. "No, I think I made a very good decision here."

"Well, I would beg to differ."

A knock on the door of his trailer interrupts Grant before he can respond to his friend. He leans over in his chair, aiming toward the door. "Who is it?"

"Who do you think, Robot? Can I come in?"

He sighs. "Yeah, sure. You would even if I said no," he mutters under his breath as the door creaks open.

"You ready to get back to work so—who's this?" Skye asks, looking Kebo up and down with a curious eye.

Grant sighs, already knowing where this is going to end up but realizing there's no use in trying to delay the inevitable anymore. "Skye, this is my best friend Kebo. Kebo, this is Skye."

Kebo grins as he holds his hand out. "Nice to meet you, sweetheart."

She narrows her eyes at him but accepts his hand. "Nice to meet you too, I guess. And don't call me 'sweetheart'."

Kebo chuckles and looks over at Grant. "Ooh, I like her, mate. I can see why everyone thinks you're together. You're both attractive, well, relatively speaking in your case 'cause I still think you're rather ugly, but it makes sense why others would think you're together."

Skye sighs and looks pointedly at Grant. "Don't tell me he's on that train too."

"As a matter of fact, sweetheart, I am not. I happen to be smart enough to know you're with some other bloke."

"Really."

He nods. "Yeah. I stalked your entire Instagram after this one mentioned you because I knew he didn't have the balls to do it himself."

She quirks a brow at Grant. "You stalked my social media?"

He shakes his head, rubbing at the back of his neck. "Uh, no, not really. I just...looked through some of your tweets and a few of your photos." He juts a thumb at Kebo. "He's the one who scrolled down to your very first Instagram post just to make a comparison of how you looked then versus now."

"I made that account almost four years ago," she tells the two of them. "So obviously I look a little different."

"And the username?" Kebo questions. He quirks a brow. "'SkyesTheLimit'? Really?"

She shrugs. "Like I said, I made it years ago. Thought it would be fun. Haven't bothered to change it since."

He nods. "Right. Well, I think it's cute. Really suits you. Shoulda heard what this one wanted as his handle before I talked him out of it."

She grins. "Oh, I definitely need to hear this."

"No, you do not," Grant speaks up. "This is exactly why I didn't want the two of you to meet. At least, not yet. I wanted to control the meeting so I could try and avoid...this." He gestures to the space around them.

"And what exactly did you want to avoid, Robot?" Skye asks him, her arms crossing casually over her chest.

"You two...bonding over my misery."

Kebo and Skye both laugh at the look on his face.

"Oh, relax, Grant," Skye says. "We're not planning to gang up on you and share embarrassing stories about you."

"Oh, no, actually, I was planning on doing that."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

She smiles. "Good. Because I was too."

Grant tilts his head back and closes his eyes, letting out a groan. "I am doomed."
