Chapter Seven:

Sonny grinned widely as she looked around the crowded set. People were everywhere, bustling around, looking busy. This was her first movie set! She internally squealed, but kept a façade of outward calm.

"Alison Monroe?" a man spoke from behind her, causing her to squeak in surprise as she jumped and turned around. Behind her was a tall man with brown hair and glasses wearing an open blue button down, a white tee and jeans with converse.

"Yeah?" Sonny asked wondering who this man was.

"I'm Jake. I'm supposed to show you around," He stated waving an arm to his left as they started walking, "This is set 3 on your right… this is the cafeteria… this is set 1… this is set 2. Over there, our secondary crew is taking some practice shots. This is wardrobe… this is makeup and over here are the trailers. This one is yours," Jake finished almost twenty minutes later, "The other half of the set is pretty much the same layout wise. It's filled with sets 4 through 10 as well as a prop house on the far edge. That's pretty much it."

"Thanks," Sonny smiled, eyes wide in excitement as she looked around her small trailer where she'd be spending her time when she wasn't filming.

"No problem. You have about ten minutes before they want you in makeup, okay? Bye, Ally," Jake waved.

"Oh, actually I prefer to be called… and you're not here anymore," Sonny muttered as she realized Jake had left.

She set her purse down on a tiny bed and explored for a few quick minutes before heading out to the makeup trailer. She walked in to see a man already sitting in one of the chairs. It was Rob from the casting. She blushed as Rob looked up to lock eyes with her via the mirror.

"You must be Ally!" A middle aged red headed woman called as she put her hand on Sonny's shoulder and had her sit down in the second chair.

"Oh, actually I prefer- ouch!" Sonny yelped as the woman started brushing her hair and tugged too hard.

"Sorry, sorry! It's just that we only have so much time to come up with a look for Bella. Let's see, let's see," the woman mused as she began fiddling with Sonny's wavy brown locks.

"They've been like this for an hour," Rob grinned as they looked at each other through the mirror.

"That's how long you've been in here?" Sonny asked.

"Yeah," Rob winced in disgust as his stylist put a thick goop in his hair and started to style, "They already figured out my style a couple days ago. This is for shooting later tonight. It's horrible sitting in here. We don't even get to watch tv or read a book."

"I know, I hate this part. It's like torture," Sonny laughed, "And the worst part is that there's a marathon on right now of my favorite tv show. So, I'm missing that for this."

Rob chuckled, "Oh, yeah? What show?"

"Doctor Who."

"I love that show," Rob spoke as he grimaced at a sharp tug, "I love how they…"

"Perfect!" Sonny's stylist called out as she finished her work. Four hours later had Sonny with straight hair that, flattened, reached just below her shoulder blades. Her locks were byed a darker shade of brown and she now had fringe bangs over her forehead. Rob had finished an hour ago, but offered to stay with her as they discussed the merits of several British television shows they both enjoyed.

Sonny found out that she was actually the last actor from the main cast to show up. The rest of the Cullen family had been shooting for a week and a half already. She and Rob were both talking animatedly as they exited the studio, only into run into a tall woman whose hair was so blonde, Sonny wondered if she was wearing a wig.

"Nikki!" Rob waved her over, "Nikki this is Ally, our Bella. Ally this is Nikki. She plays Rosalie."

Sonny opened her mouth to correct Rob but mentally sighed. Apparently everyone was going to be calling her Ally anyway. Why not roll with it?

"Cool! Welcome on set!" Nikki smiled.

"Thanks," Sonny smiled widely.

"Where are you heading?" The three walked together.

"Wardrobe. I love shopping, however this seems like it will be more torture than fun," Sonny groaned.

Nikki laughed, "Yeah, pretty much. I love shopping too. We should hang out sometime."

Sonny laughed, "Definitely."

"I have to go the other way. Bye," Nikki smiled at Sonny before leaning up to give Rob a kiss to the mouth, surprising Sonny. Nikki then pulled back. Her brow furrowed as she realized Rob was looking at Sonny for some sort of reaction. Her eyes widened as she realized that Rob seemed to have a bit of a thing for the younger girl. Nikki turned to Sonny and smiled, "Nice meeting you."

"You too," the brunette waved as Nikki headed away to think about what she just found out.

"Girlfriend?" Sonny asked smilingly as she and Rob continued on their way.

Rob winced as he automatically reached a hand up to run through his hair, "Not exactly."

Sonny nodded. They hadn't seemed very couple like, "Is it more friends with benefits?"

"Something like that," Rob nodded in a non-committal way.

Sonny noticed and steered the topic back to solid ground as they walked a bit farther to the trailer.
