Hey babes! Back again with a new chapter for ya! We're getting closer to the end now. Thanks for sticking around as long as you have. :)
Enjoy!
"You know, I'm not sure if I've ever been this nervous before," Skye mutters as she paces back and forth in front of Grant's bed, wringing her hands together and worrying her bottom lip between her teeth.
"Really?" Grant responds with a raised brow.
She nods. "Yeah."
"Me either."
Skye looks over at her friend and co-star with deeply furrowed brows at his confession. "Wait, really?"
He nods. "Yeah."
She stops pacing and moves closer to the bed, leaning her legs against the edge of it. "But you've been doing this stuff for years."
"True. But I've never waited on news like this before. I've never been the lead on a TV show, just had some guest starring roles here and there over the years, so I've never had to deal with the anxiety of finding out if we get a full season pickup or not."
"Right. Well, this is absolutely terrifying."
Grant nods in agreement. "It most certainly is. What sucks even more about it is that we don't know who Phil is going to call about it first. My best guess is that he's going to call one of us first since we're the leads. And then probably the rest of the main cast after us. And then the writers so they can start working on fleshing out the timeline and plotline of the season. Unless he calls the writers first so they can actually start writing the first script."
She tilts her head as she watches him. "You seem to have thought a lot about this, huh?"
He shrugs. "I like to think I've thought the normal amount about it."
"Uh-huh. And where, in your vast robot brain, do you store all of those deep thoughts?"
"Ha, ha, you're hilarious."
She smiles. "I know. It's one of my better qualities."
He laughs quietly, shaking his head at her antics. He opens his mouth to respond when a high pitched trill cuts him off.
Skye jumps for his phone lying on the mattress of the bed but he beats her to it, picking up the phone and hitting the answer call button. He holds the device up to his ear, leaning away from Skye teasingly when she tries to get closer to him to hear the call.
"Hello?"
"Grant? It's Phil Coulson."
He relents in his teasing, pulling the phone away from his ear and hitting the speaker button. "Hey, Phil. You're on speaker. Skye's here too."
The brunette leans toward the phone. "Hi, Phil."
"Two birds with one stone, then. I like this."
"Have you heard anything from the studios yet?" Skye asks him eagerly, bouncing a little on the bed in anticipation.
"I have."
"And? What did they say?"
"Well, they gave me the news that we have officially been greenlit for a full season run this fall."
Grant flinches when Skye screeches and then nearly tackles him in a hug.
"Seriously?" Skye asks, leaning toward the phone with her arms still around Grant. "You're not joking around?"
"Absolutely serious," Phil tells her. "I just got the news myself."
"Wow. This is great," Grant says.
"This is more than just great," Skye replies. "This is freaking amazing. Are we allowed to post about this yet?" she asks. "Because I really don't know how long I can keep this to myself."
"I'm not sure. You may have to wait until an official announcement is made," Phil tells her.
"Okay. Thanks for letting us know, Phil."
"Of course. Now just to call Fitz, Trip, and Kara to let them know about the pickup."
"Right," Skye says with a nod of her head. "You should definitely get on that because I've already started coming up with what I'm going to tweet and I need to at least write it out before I forget."
Phil laughs. "Alright. I'll get off the phone now and call them. I'll talk to you guys soon for logistics and things."
"Yeah, of course. Thanks, Phil."
The call ends and Grant locks his phone, looking over to see Skye already on her phone, Twitter open on the screen.
"Someone's eager."
She glances up at him quickly. "Pff, obviously I am. I'll just have to save it in a draft for later."
He nods once, unlocking his phone again and going into Twitter. "Then I'll join you."

"This is the best day ever!"
Skye laughs into the receiver of her phone as she steps into her apartment, nudging the door closed behind her. "I take it you saw my latest tweet."
"And Grant's. And the rest of the cast. I just followed Kara Lynn Palamas since she's a regular on the show now too. She seems fun. I'm so excited for you guys. This is amazing."
"Thanks. It feels pretty damn great to be able to play Daisy again. We don't start filming until about mid-July, though, so we've still got some time to relax until I have to start going to work on the show. However, I'm pretty sure that they want me and Grant to do a bunch of training or whatnot for the show, so that's going to be fun."
"Well, hey, you've always wanted to get better at personal fitness, now's your chance."
Skye sighs heavily, falling down onto the couch. "Yeah, I guess so. I'm just not super excited about how gross and sweaty I'm gonna get. And how sore I'm going to be too. That won't be fun."
"But you're gonna look great on camera when the time comes to start shooting," Bobbi tells her.
She tilts her head in thought. "Yeah, that's true."
"And I bet Grant is going to get pretty buff too."
"I'm sure he will," she says back, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible while forcing her brain not to think about Grant being shirtless in any capacity. Sure, she's seen him shirtless before on screen from various films that he's done, but so has every other woman on the planet who is a fan of his. She's not exactly special in that regard.
"Hey, Skye, you still there?"
"Hmm? Yeah, I'm still here." She forces herself to focus back on her best friend's voice.
"Good. I thought you zoned out on me for a minute there."
"I did a little bit, but I'm back."
"Where'd you go?"
"Nowhere," she replies, really not needing her friend to know about where her thoughts went. He's her costar, and one of her best friends, she cannot be thinking about him like that. Ever.
