Hey babes! Back with a new chapter for ya! This one moves things along a little. Not sure if I mentioned it before, but I didn't want to spend too long on the actual filming of the movie, more just give little snapshots during the process to move things along quicker. Which brings us to Skye and Grant's last day of filming.

Enjoy!

Skye's heart races a mile a minute as she fully invests herself into the scene, not holding anything back. She can feel her palms sweating because of the bright lights shining down to illuminate them. She's giving it her all, putting every ounce of emotion she can into it.

Grant stands a few feet away from her as his own character and reacts in kind to the words she just spoke, rolling his eyes. His arms are crossed over his chest, trying to seem as disinterested as possible. It's definitely working. He's completely selling it. They both are. At least, she really hopes so.

They continue exchanging heated words with one another, moving about the set as they'd been instructed to do earlier. Small changes had been made to the blocking right before they started and they'd had to run through it a few times before filming started. But they've got it. Everything goes flawlessly.

She delivers her final line, her eyes narrowed tightly and her breathing heavy.

Grant responds with his own line as JT, standing as close to her as possible to increase the tension in the scene. What type of tension exactly the director is going for, she doesn't know.

Giving her one final look, 'JT' turns and walks out of the room, the set door slamming closed behind him as he goes. 'Daisy' remains standing in her spot for a moment, steaming mad as she glares daggers after him, her eyes welling up with unshed tears.

"And cut!" the director yells from across the room, removing his headset and standing from his chair. "Grant, Skye, that was amazing. As it always is from both of you."

Skye lets out a heavy breath at the director's words, feeling the weight of the heavy scene being lifted off of her shoulders. She watches with a small smile as Grant reenters the set and walks over to where she is. She hasn't moved an inch from her final mark.

With a smile on his face, he envelops her in a hug, wrapping his arms tightly around her. She hugs him back just as tightly, burying her face in his chest and breathing in deeply. There's just something about being wrapped in his arms that she loves.

Startling herself at the thought, she pulls away from him as casually as she can without raising suspicion and lifts her head to see him smiling down at her. Her stomach flips. She swallows thickly and smiles back. She cannot be feeling like this right now. She has a boyfriend. That she loves. She cannot be feeling like this, especially not about her co-star. It's probably just from the recent long hours to get the movie finished on time. Yeah, that's definitely what it is.

"Attention everyone," the director speaks up, pulling her out of her thoughts. She remains standing next to Grant, just no longer in his arms, and with a bit more space between them than usual. "That is now a wrap on Grant and Skye." Everyone on the set claps and cheers. "And that is also a wrap on Secret War: Fire and Earth." Everyone continues to clap and cheer, a few of the crew members hooting and hollering in excitement.

She lets out a shaky breath, tears brimming her eyes at the thought of not doing this again. Sure, she'll probably still make movies, her career is just getting started, but she won't ever work on this movie again. This movie that is giving her her big break. It's crazy.

"I just want to thank each and every one of you who have been a part of making this movie whether on screen or off, you've all contributed to this in your own special way. It has been such a great experience getting to work with all of you, and I really hope that you all take something away from this experience. Again, thank you so much to all of you. And I guess I'll see you all again for the premiere and the press tour." He smiles at them and then everyone starts intermingling, talking to one another and saying goodbye.

"I can't believe this is really over," Skye says to Grant as they continue to stand in the middle of the set while everyone bustles about around them, preparing to take apart the different sets and close down the soundstage now that filming is officially over.

"It's crazy, right?" Grant asks her.

"Totally," she replies with a nod of her head, looking around the room. She can't bring herself to look at him right now. "Can you believe that just a few months ago we were heading into our first table read?"

She sees him smile out of the corner of her eye. "Time sure does fly."

She can't help but smile too. "Yes, it does. But now we need a picture." She forces herself to look up at him.

"For what?" he asks.

"To document this incredible moment," she tells him as if it's completely obvious. He really should know this about her by now. She steps away from him and walks over to her set chair to grab her phone out of the pocket. But also, she needs to not be standing right next to him for a minute or two. "It's for the fans."

"For the fans," he repeats. "Really?"

"Of course." She reaches into the side pocket of her chair and pulls out her phone. She turns around to find Grant almost standing right in front of her. She quickly unlocks her phone and goes into Instagram, Grant now standing very close to her, just not as close as when they were on the set. She moves to stand next to him, holding her phone up in front of them. "Make a sad face," she instructs him as she makes her own sad face. She rests her cheek against his, trying her hardest to ignore the warmth she feels immediately spreading across her skin.

Snapping the picture, she pulls her camera back down to examine the photo. She smiles. "Excellent. Now for a caption." She thinks for a moment before she types, trying to come up with the best caption.

And that's a wrap. Wish it didn't have to end. But excited for you guys to see this one when it's all put together. #SecretWarFireandEarth #SecretWarMovie #daisyjohnson #jtjames #saditsover #butalreadyexcitedforthepremiere #andthepresstour #moviepremierevirginoverhere

She holds it up to Grant when she finishes. "Good?"

He looks at it and smiles, a quiet laugh escaping past his lips. "Good."

She smiles back, quickly tagging his face in the photo before sharing it to all of her social media accounts. His laugh echoes in her mind. It's one sound that she's gotten so used to hearing over the course of filming the movie and it quickly made its way into becoming one of her favorite sounds ever.

"I have an idea," Grant speaks up as Skye places her phone back into the pocket of her chair and leans against it.

"What is it?"

"Let's go out to celebrate."

She lifts a brow at him. "Really?"

He nods. "Yeah. I mean the movie may be wrapped now, but it doesn't mean we can't still hang out together and be friends. Plus, it's the perfect time to celebrate something."

Skye smiles up at him. "That is very true. Where did you have in mind for us to eat?"

"You pick the place."

"Seriously? You want me to pick?"

"Of course. You pick where we go to eat. And we can even invite Fitz and Trip if they want to come with us."

Skye beams at the idea of getting to hang out with two of her friends. She hasn't seen them in a few days since the last couple of scenes shot for the movie were just of her and Grant.

"Awesome. But I think we should get changed out of these costumes first and take off all this makeup."

He chuckles and nods. "That would probably be a very good idea."

"You call Fitz and I'll call Trip," she tells him as she begins making her way toward her trailer.

"Sounds good."

"Awesome. Meet you at the front gate when we're done?"

"Yep. See you there."

Giving him one last smile, she turns and continues walking toward her trailer, already unlocking her phone and finding Trip's number in her contact list. Tapping on it, she holds the phone up to her ear as she steps inside her trailer, the door swinging shut behind her with a quiet thud.

"Hello?"

"Trip, hey."

"Hey, girl. What's up?"

"Grant and I just finished wrapping."

"Wow. The movie's really done filming."

"I know." She lets out a huff of air as she falls down onto the couch at the end of her trailer. "It's kinda weird. I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow."

"Relax, Skye. That's what you're going to do. You're going to relax because you finally have some downtime after many long days and nights of filming."

"Yeah, probably. Anyways, the reason I called you."

"Yes, I would love to hear that reason."

"Grant suggested that we go out tonight to celebrate."

"Just the two of you?"

She rolls her eyes, having very clearly detected the slightly teasing lilt in his voice. "No, we want you and Fitz to come too."

"Alright, that sounds like it could be fun. Where is this get-together happening?"

She bites her lip between her teeth. "I haven't figured that part out yet. But I still have to change and get this makeup off my face. And I have to wait for Grant. So I'll text you when I decide on a place."

"You're picking?"

"Yep. Grant told me to. There are a lot of good places to choose from, so I'm still narrowing the choices down."

"Okay. Well, just let me know when you decide. Lucky for you, I'm not busy tonight so I can definitely meet up with you guys. I've missed you both. And Fitz, of course."

"We've missed you guys too," she tells him. "I should probably go now so I can change, but I'll see you soon."

"Yeah, of course. See you soon."

Pulling the phone down from her ear, she ends the call and sets her phone next to her before letting out a heavy breath. She takes a moment to lean back as far into the couch as she can and look around her at the space of her trailer.

It's a little crazy to her, that they're already done filming. It doesn't seem like that long ago that she was going in for her first audition. And now she's done. Grant was right. Time really does fly.

Clinking their glasses together, the four adults down the shots in their hands before slamming the small glasses onto the table. They each let out a breath and lean back in their chairs, a moment of comfortable silence passing over them. The ambient noises of the bar filling the space around them. She figured a bar would be a good place for them to come. Most people at this time of night are probably way too drunk to realize they're in the same bar as four actors. Or if they are aware, they're too drunk and shy to act on it. At least, she's really hoping for that.

"Wow. I sometimes forget how strong that stuff is," Skye remarks, shaking her head a little and squeezing her eyes shut momentarily before opening them again and looking at her friends.

Fitz shrugs from his seat next to her. "Eh. I've had stronger. Much stronger."

Skye fake gasps. "What? Our sweet, innocent little Fitzy? There's no way."

"I'm not that innocent and you bloody well know it."

Skye laughs quietly. "Right, of course. I'm sorry I forgot."

"Well don't let it happen again."

She laughs quietly again as she reaches for the drink in front of her, leaning back in her chair as she stares into the amber liquid.

"I'm gonna miss seeing you guys every day," she muses as she swirls her glass in her hand. She looks back up at her friends. "I've gotten so used to it and it'll be really weird to not see you and talk to you every day."

"You don't think you can get rid of us that easily, do you?" Trip asks her.

She shrugs, taking a sip from her drink.

"Because you're wrong if you think I won't be calling and texting you all the time just to annoy you."

Skye laughs. "I'm sure you will. And I'm most definitely looking forward to it. One thing I do not want to happen is the four of us falling out of touch with each other. I've heard stories of that happening and I don't like it."

"Don't worry, girl," Trip says. "I may have only met you a few months ago, but I can already tell that you aren't going to let something like that happen."

She nods once as she lifts her glass. "You're damn right I won't. You three are stuck with me forever. So start getting used to it."

Squad Goals, though, am I right? Just look at this wonderful picture of these amazingly beautiful humans. Can I somehow be included in this awesome group of friends? Please and thank you.

Also, Leo Fitz is still such a precious cinnamon roll. I just thought the world needed a little reminder of that.
