Hey babes! Got a new chapter for ya! I know I already updated this week, but I felt like updating again.
Enjoy!
Letting out a heavy yawn, Skye steps up inside the hair and makeup trailer, a travel mug of hot coffee held securely in one hand. She drops her bag by one of the empty chairs and then falls down into it, releasing another yawn before taking a sip from her mug. Her body starts relaxing into the chair as she drinks it, every muscle loosening up and her nerves calming down.
"Still trying to wake up?"
Jumping in her chair at the voice coming from right beside her, she manages to hang onto her mug, preventing it from falling and spilling everywhere in the trailer. Turning her head, she narrows her eyes at the man sitting in the chair next to hers. "Seriously, Grant? What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do something like that to a person?"
Grant chuckles quietly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"You didn't scare me."
"You jumped."
"I was startled. Not scared. Big difference."
He nods, a small laugh still on his lips. "Right, okay."
"How are you so chipper in the mornings?" she asks him, leaning forward to set her coffee down on the counter in front of her. "I'm on my second cup of coffee and I'm still not fully awake yet." She lets out a huff of air as she leans back in her chair.
He shrugs. "I've always been a morning person."
"Of course you have."
He tilts his head. "We've worked together before. How are you just now figuring out that I'm always awake and alert in the mornings?"
She waves him off, focusing on the screen of her phone. "I don't know, probably because it was always so early. Most things this early tend to slip from my mind fairly quickly."
"Duly noted. And please don't overload on the coffee, okay?"
"I make no promises."
"Good morning, my subjects."
Skye looks up from her phone and smiles at the makeup artist entering the trailer. "Hey, Carla."
"I know I told you on the pilot, but I know we're both glad to have you back on board, Carla," Grant tells the woman.
The woman rolls her eyes. "As if I'd let anyone else do your makeup as JT and Daisy. It's a ridiculous thought that I don't even care to entertain."
Grant laughs quietly. "Yeah, I guess it might be."
"Oh, I found someone wandering around the set a minute ago and they decided to follow me here." She steps to the side and Max enters the trailer, immediately walking up to Grant and nudging his arm.
Grant smiles down at his dog, running a hand through his fur. "Hey, boy. I was wondering where you got to. Getting yourself familiar with the new set, then, huh?"
Max barks and nudges him again.
"And hey, look. It's the only other person you love beside me." He points in Skye's direction and waits for Max to turn around and see her. She can't help the smile she gets.
The German Shepherd turns around and darts to the other chair, immediately putting his front paws up in Skye's lap, barking softly at her.
"Hey, Max," she says, scratching the dog behind the ears with a wide smile. "I've missed you, you handsome boy." She leans down to kiss his nose.
"He has definitely missed you too, from the looks of it," Grant says with an amused smile.
"And for good reason. We are the absolute best of friends. Aren't we, Max?" She laughs as Max extends his body to lick her face in excitement.
"Well that's just great," Carla speaks up. "Now I've got to clean your face off even more before I put makeup on it. Way to go, Max." She grabs a wet wipe and immediately wipes the dog slobber from Skye's cheeks.
"Hey, let's take a picture first," Grant says to Skye, pulling his phone out and unlocking it.
Skye smiles at the suggestion. "Absolutely." She stands from her seat and walks over to him, leaning down over the back of his chair. She places her forearms on his shoulders, resting her chin on the top of his head and smiling into the camera.
Grant smiles into the camera as well, pressing the capture button and then pulling the phone down to examine the photo. She stays near him, hoping that he didn't hear or feel how hard her heart was pounding.
"That's a good one," he says, pulling her out of her head. "Now get off me." He swats playfully at her until she moves back to her own chair.
"Fine, fine, Mr. Grumpy."
"I'm not grumpy."
"Could have fooled me."

About to begin our transformations into some very familiar faces. Let the crazy antics commence. Again. #SecretWarriors #partnersincrime #backatit #daisyjohnson #jtjames
CallMeBobbi I don't think you guys understand just how excited I am for this show.
SkyesTheLimit *CallMeBobbi Trust me when I say that we both know you're probably the person who's most excited for this. Besides us.
DrLincoln Many of my coworkers are obsessed with the movie and when they realized you're my sister they started asking me all sorts of questions and I have no idea what to tell them.
SkyesTheLimit *DrLincoln Simple. You tell them nothing because you know nothing.
DrLincoln *SkyesTheLimit right, of course.

"The first day is almost done," Skye remarks as she falls down into her set chair with a heavy sigh, the quiet sound of Grant's chuckling filling her ears. She tilts her head to look over at him. "Why are you laughing?"
"Because you look exhausted and it's adorable."
"I'm so tired I might actually fall asleep right here."
"No one's stopping you from doing so."
"It's too noisy," she says, her nose scrunching up as she glances around at the various machines running and people milling around doing their jobs.
"I thought you could sleep through anything, anywhere."
"Usually I can," she tells him. "Sometimes I can't."
"Can't what?" Kara asks as she approaches them, sitting down in her own set chair and grabbing her phone out of the side pocket.
Grant shifts a little in his chair to look at his costar. "Back when we were filming the movie, Skye told me that she could sleep anywhere, through anything. And now she's saying that she's tired, but it's too noisy for her to fall asleep right here."
"It is kind of noisy," Kara agrees, glancing around the set once before looking back at her costars. "I could see why someone wouldn't be able to fall asleep through it."
"Thank you," Skye says, smiling at Kara before looking pointedly at Grant.
"But," Kara continues, "if somebody claims to be able to sleep through anything, then this shouldn't be a problem for them."
Skye narrows her eyes playfully. "Traitor."
Kara holds her hands up in defense. "Hey, calm down. I'm not really looking to get into the middle of some unresolved sexual tension type of thing. You two figure this out on your own." She stands from the chair with a smile, turning on her heel to go off to another part of the set.
"She totally took the easy way out of that question," Skye remarks as she watches the other woman walk away. "Hey, where's Max?"
"Probably getting himself more familiar with the set and the people. Thankfully, just about everyone in the industry knows that I bring Max to set with me, so it's not an issue when they see him walking around without me."
"It helps that he's probably the most well-behaved dog that I've ever seen."
Grant smiles. "Yeah, that's a pretty good perk. I just wish he was a little more friendly toward everyone he meets. Not that he's outwardly aggressive toward anyone in particular except for Kebo..."
"Understandably so."
Grant huffs out a laugh. "But I just wish he was a little nicer to other people."
Skye breathes in deeply as she shifts in her seat, sitting up a little taller. "Well, all I really care about is that he loves me and I love him and we have a very special bond that can't ever be broken."
