Chapter 5: Talk Show Surprise

"So, please welcome Nat and Alex Wolff." Carol Smith, the host, said. Nat and Alex walked out from backstage. They sat down at chairs parallel from her. "Thanks for coming boys."

"No problem." The brothers answered.

"Alright, let's get right down to business. So, you guys have your own show, correct?" Carol asked.

"Umm, well, we did. We just found out it's not being renewed for another season." Alex answered.

"Oh, well, I'm sorry. Anyway, I heard that you are really close with your cast members. Tell me a little about each of them."

"We are all really close. I've known David and Thomas for 10 years. We met in preschool. David is kind of quiet and reserved. On the other hand, Thomas is completely opposite. But, there always causing trouble." Nat explained.

"We've known Cooper for about 8 or 9 years. He's very polite and proper because that's what his character is like. Really, he's always running around and being crazy. Qaasim auditioned for his character 3 years ago. He's really outgoing and excited. He would be the most awake one for our early morning shoots." Alex explained.

"So, there are no girls on set?" Carol cut in.

"Oh man, we totally forgot about Allie. She auditioned for her character 5 years ago. She's seriously the nicest person ever. She's utterly hilarious. She's so bubbly and awesome. She really fits in with all the guys." Nat smiled.

"And there's Kristina, who joined us during the last season. She's just like Allie. When those two meet, they were instant best friends. Together, they're crazy and hyper." Alex laughed.

"Sounds like you guys are close. Do you have nicknames for everyone?" Carol asked.

"We actually do. Everyone calls Nat the girl magnet because that's his nickname on the show. We call Cooper Coop, Coopy, Coops, or Boss Man because he usually takes charge. Everyone calls Qaasim Seemy, Hoops, Q, or Smarts because he's so smart. He just started to call Kristina "Bronx" because that's were she's from and she's really tough." Alex explained.

"Well, everyone calls Alex rebel, A&W, Skittles, or USA because his favorite colors are red, white, and blue. We call David Shy Guy, The Levi, or Lucky because he's supper lucky. Everyone calls Thomas Buff, Hulk, Tommy Boy, or Pranks because he's always pulling a prank. And, everybody calls Allie Rosalina, Al, Girl, or Loudmouth because she usually doesn't think before she talks." Nat explained.

"Alex, what about Bubble Boy? I thought that was your nickname?" Carol asked.

"Oh my god, how did you hear about that? That's an inside joke with the cast. Allie gave it to me." Alex exclaimed. Then, Eventually started to play and Allie and the boys ran out on stage. Nat and Alex, shocked, turned around. After sharing their round of hugs with the brothers, everyone sat down.

"So, Allie, care to explain what Bubble Boy means?" Carol asked.

"Umm, haha, well, we were walking around the set the first week of shooting together three years ago and we came across a box of bubbles. And Alex, got so excited that he started to run around trying to eat the bubbles as we blew them. Although, he was only 8 at the time so it was understandably. But, I thought it was really funny so I just called him Bubble Boy and have ever since." Allie laughed, tousling Alex's curly hair. He smiled and pushed her hand away.

"Stop, you might mess up the awesomeness of my hair," Alex chuckled. "After all, I do have the best hair out of all of you."

"Alex, what are you saying?" David complained. "My hair's beast."

"No way man, mine's way cooler." Qaasim fought back.

"Dude, the chicks dig my hair." Nat argued.

"Pshhh shut up man. You all know my long hair was the best." Thomas proudly stated.

"Thomas, you don't even have any hair anymore. Look at this beautiful shaggy mess." Cooper said.

"You must have to deal with this a lot." Carol said to Allie as the boys continued to argue.

"Ohhh, you don't even know. They should all be politicians or attorneys. They all love to argue." Allie smiled.

"Wow, the boys were right. You are hilarious." Carol laughed. She turned to the camera. "Were gonna take a commercial break and when we come back, the cast is going to perform for us."
