"Sonny With a Real Chance"

By Tenshi Noyo Ryu Taiga


Chapter Eight:

"Adam! This way, man!" Eric, a tall male wearing a bright yellow cap slung backwards, called out. Adam, an equally tall man wearing a bright red blazer, winced at his friend's volume before picking up his camera to follow. The camera he was holding was largish and rather heavy, but was still small and light enough to be held comfortably in one hand.

Adam smiled and nodded as he made his way up the drive and into a large, white house with many large windows. He followed the foot traffic to a crowded bedroom. It was halfway into filming and he was hired by Summit Studio to do an insider's look into the new movie "Twilight" for the dvd. He had been required to sign so many contracts, his head still spun thinking about the amount of time he had had to spend with his lawyer.

Once inside the bedroom he noticed that two of the actors were already there. He wasn't familiar with their faces, however. They weren't overly famous A-List celebrities like he would have expected; after all, Twilight was a best seller.

Adam walked up to Eric, who he saw was close to the tape that signified where the actors had to stand and where the bystanders could not- this line was important as it was the way Adam recognized that two of the actors were already there, "Dude. Who are those two?"

Eric turned to look at who he was gesturing toward, "That's Rob Pattinson. He plays the male lead, Edward. He's a British actor best known for his work as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. The girl is Sonny Monroe… or Ally Monroe. I've been hearing both. I guess she changed her nickname when she came here, so Ally Monroe. Anyway, she's pretty new; only started acting recently. She's known for her work on a teen comedy show called So Random."

As his friend was explaining the actors, Adam had turned on the camera and was filming the two in their "natural habitat" so to speak. In other words, he was filming them off camera, without their knowing they were being filmed.

Ally laughed loudly as she playfully pushed Rob who was whispering something with a small grin on his face. His hands were shoved in his pockets as he continued whispering, grinning even wider when something he said caused Ally to explode into another round of laughter. Ally was laughing so uproariously that several people turned to look at her, but seeing who she was with, turned and ignored the everyday occurrence. She turned away to try and catch her breath, but was failing miserably as she leaned against Rob, her legs starting to give out from weakness. Rob reached out an arm to wrap around her shoulder to keep her from falling but spoke once more, causing the girl to snort and laugh, burrowing her face into his shirt to hide from the looks she received.

"This is some great footage," Adam remarked as he zoomed out from the couple when he heard the director call for attention.

Ally fought for breath as she listened attentively to what the director wanted from her. She massaged her wrist in preparation of what was to come and moved to stand on her mark.

"Action!" Catherine, the director, called out.

Rob chuckled, "You really shouldn't have said that," Rob grabbed the top of her hand and ran in front of her, spinning her around by the wrist and hoisting her onto his back. They both paused as they waited for a signal.

"Cut!" Catherine cried.

Adam zoomed in on the two again watching as Ally laughed and Rob let go of her wrist and flattened his back. They both laughed together in an odd harmonious melodic sound, as she spread her arms like an airplane as she balanced precariously on his back. Rob started shaking in laughter, causing Ally to fall off. She easily landed on her feet and looked up at him grinning. She jokingly poked his side and teasingly mocked him for dropping her.

Adam moved around so that he could get closer to the duo as well as gain a different vantage. The two actors were discussing something, still smiling and in a seemingly good mood. Ally turned and caught sight of Adam.

Adam blinked in surprise before smiling widely and winking at her flirtingly. Ally looks stunned before her face contorted in incredulousness. She began giggling and reached up to wrap her arm around Rob's neck and pulled him down so that she could whisper in his ear. The couple laughed as, almost instantly, Rob's eyes turned to Adam who grinned unrepentantly. Rob's eyes glanced over the man and Adam knew that Ally had whispered to him that he had winked in flirtation. Almost as quickly as Rob had turned to look at him, he also turned to look away, apparently satisfied by Adam's ordinariness.

Rob quickly became absorbed in some sort of story Ally was telling. Adam carefully recorded her large hand gestures and the different faces she made as she told whatever it was she was telling. Rob grinned as Ally turned on her heel and pretended to faint into his arms. His arms wrapped around her waist solidly to catch her before using them to turn her around so that they were face to face as she continued her story. Their faces were barely two inches away from each other as her body was still leaned into him from the faint.

He said something that makes Ally start as she playfully pushed him, however he stood rock solid, only causing her to push herself away from his body. She took no notice as he turned his head and spoke to her before reaching his hand up to playfully ruffle her hair. Her mouth opened in fake astonishment before she gave a glare and reached up her hand to place it on his wrist. She then forced his hand to move from where it lay on her head to the front of his chest, measuring her height. Rob then reached out his arm to the top of her head to measure her height one more time, but this time, he angled his hand lower very obviously so that instead of her height being at his chest, it went to his stomach.

Ally playfully punched him in the arm before jokingly jumping into his arms. Rob's eyes widened in surprise as he moves to wrap his arms around her, but she's already back on her feet by the time he can move.

Adam decided to move closer in order to get their conversation. This was great footage that would be sure to make the bosses happy. And if he happened to keep some footage to sell online once the Twilight cast were made public…

"Rob!" Adam heard the actor being called. Adam carefully continues taping as Rob turns to the voice. After several minutes, the actor nods, but before he can turn around to continue talking to his co-star, Ally uses the distraction to jump up and plant her hands on his shoulders, trying to get a boost up. She hoists herself up, but only has enough arm strength to hold the position for a few seconds.

"What the bloody hell?" Rob asks as he raises his eyebrow and turns to face her.

Ally just laughs, "Is that what it feels like to be you? You can see anything from up there. You need your own observation deck."

Rob smirks in amusement before speaking, "Not that you'll ever be able to feel that again," causing Ally to pout.

Adam was about to move to get another angle so that he could see more of Ally's face when he felt a tap to his shoulder.

"Excuse me, sir. You're not allowed to be over here. Actors only," A woman spoke to him before directing him back over the line he'd crossed.

Adam smiled falsely, "Sorry," but internally he reveled. He was going to make so much money with tabloid photos of a so-called on-screen romance between the two co-stars. Now, he just had to wait…
