Episode 1: Round One, Stage Two, Part 2
Gong Xi paced back and forth, muttering words, a small textbook in her hand. She knew that Lian had told her not to strain herself but habits like that die hard. Qin and Shu Fang sat on the chairs of the waiting room they were in, their eyes scanning the script then look up to follow Gong Xi's pacing figure, then back down to the script. They had to wait for the other actors and the director to come to go over the script for the movie called "The pretty gentle snow" or Wan Lixue. Gong Xi was nervous that she resorted to studying for the test that will take place a few days later.
"Gong Xi, can you stop? It's irritating," Qin finally said, setting down her script onto her lap.
Gong Xi paused mid-stride. "Sorry. I'm just nervous," she said. Qin nodded in understanding. Gong Xi decided to change the subject. "So what do you guys think of the movie?"
"It's okay... arranged marriage, soulmates, jealousy, the usual," Shu Fang said, flipping the pages.
"Huh, arranged marriage?" Gong Xi asked absentmindedly. She turned to Shu Fang.
"Didn't you read it? I thought you read it all?" If Shu Fang could remember quickly, Gong Xi was the one that was eagerly reading it when they first got it.
"I, uh, no," Gong Xi said softly, bowing her head. Qin sighed, pulling up a chair for Gong Xi to sit on.
"You should focus on the movie for now, Gong Xi. Studying can wait until later," Qin scolded. Gong Xi smiled, sitting next to Qin. She gave her best friend a big hug and it took some time for her to let go. "Sorry," Gong Xi muttered.
They read through the script in silence while they waited for the others to arrive. They're taking a long time, Gong Xi thought, they better not have sent us to the wrong room like last time! Gong Xi frowned, looking at the clock on the wall.
The door opened. Gong Xi had hoped that it was the director but... it wasn't. The ones that came through the door were the people that she wasn't ready to face completely. Bu Po Shang walked in first with a carefree atmosphere, his love sick puppy trailing behind him, Mei Shen, and his manager, Yang yang. Next came Dun He Lian with Mr. Du behind him. Gong Xi instinctively hid behind her script, gesturing to Qin and Shu Fang to do the same. They looked at her in confusion then looked at the door.
Mr. Du gave a short laugh. "Gong Xi, is that you?" At the mention of Gong Xi's name, Shang and Lian looked at the direction of the three girls, singling out the girl that covered her face. Mei Shen pouted at Shang's side, glaring at the girl.
"Uh, Mr. Du... Hello... again," Gong Xi said nervously, slowly lowering the script. She gave a small smile then lifted the script to cover her face again. "Mr. Lian," she added with a mutter.
"Hello, Mr. Du, Mr. Lian," Qin and Shu Fang greeted them properly, giving a small bow from their seat.
"Why are you here?" Mei Shen snapped, wrapping her arm around Shang's arm. Shang ignored Mei Shen, his eyes on Gong Xi. "And you're still wearing that ridiculous pink outfit." Mei Shen looked at Shu Fang. "And you dragged another person down with you. Poor thing." She smirked. She looked back at Gong Xi who surprised her by smiling.
"What are you smiling about?" Mei Shen demanded. Gong Xi gave a dark chuckle and said, "Just... Nothing. Why are you here?" Mei Shen narrowed her eyes, remembering an evil force that surrounded Gong Xi when they were shooting the Prisoner music video.
"I'm just here to wait with Shang," Mei Shen boasted, scooting closer to Shang. There was a look of pity in Gong Xi's eyes that Mei Shen thought she saw but it quickly vanished.
Everyone took a seat next to the long table, waiting in silence for the director. Mr. Du and Lian sat across from Gong Xi.
"So Gong Xi, why are you three here? Were you assigned on another mission?" Mr. Du asked politely.
"Mm, yes. Director Shen said three of the actors couldn't film so he sent us to replace them," Gong Xi said. She avoided Lian's gaze by lifting her script.
"Hey, I heard there's another actor coming," Shu Fang said to her friends. "Why do we have to wait so long? I heard from my manager that she's a ballet dancer from the Lihua family."
"What!" Qin and Gong Xi screamed. Everyone jumped in surprise. "We have to work with her!" The two Love Me members had stood up too quickly, causing their chairs to fall.
"This is impossible!" Qin said.
"Right! How do you expect us to work with that thing!" Gong Xi added. Then she paused. "Unless..."
"Unless, what?" Qin looked at her friend who gave a small smile, letting her that she had a plan. Qin trusted her in that, recalling when they tried out for the commercial and Fei Lihua stole their idea.
Right then the door decided to open and in came the director in a simple suit and shades. "Holy mother - " was his outburst at the sight of their bright Love Me uniform. He sat himself at the head of the table, raising an eyebrow at the fallen chairs. "Sorry," The two Love Me members said. They picked up their chairs and sat down slowly.
"Hello, I'm Director Hong Long. I've heard alot about you two," the director said, pointing at Gong Xi and Qin. "From my brother Hei Long. I know everything that happened while auditioning for the commercial. Why use Fei Lihua in this movie? She and her servants did not bribe me, if that's what you're thinking. The point of this movie is only an experiment. Adding her will make this even more interesting."
"Your Black Dragon's brother?" Qin asked. She looked at him. The way they dressed her certainly different but the looks are almost similar.
The director nodded. "So, I assume everyone read through the script?" He said. Everyone nodded. "Good. Makes my job more easy. We start shooting tomorrow in the morning so don't be late. And seeing that Fei Lihua is not here right now, I guess we'll see her at the site." Hong Long caught Qin and Gong Xi's grimace. "Having not only two popular idols in this production but the three actors that caught Taiwan's attention, the movie might be as popular."
Is he boasting?, Qin thought, He has that much confidence?
"Well, sorry for having you wait so long," Hong Long went on. "I think that's enought for now... Does anyone need chages in the script?"
"Yeah, why does there have to be an arranged marriage? It's ridiculous!" Shang spoke for the first time. The whole time he had been kicking back, his arms crossed and his feet on the table.
"You're ridiculous!" Director Red Dragon countered. "That's all for now. Be at the shooting site on time." With that he got up from his seat and left.
"That's it? We waited this long for that?" Shu Fang asked in disbelief.
"He reminds me of the Black Dragon director," Qin muttered. Gong Xi nodded in agreement.
Gong Xi's phone rang from her pocket. She took it out and checked who was calling. "Hello?" she answered. "Hello, director. Yes, we'll be there soon. What scene are we doing, again? Okay, xie xie." She looked at Shu Fang. "That was the director from Box R. They're setting up the set but we should be there to get ourselves ready," she told her. Shu Fang nodded, getting up from her seat.
"Bye," they said with a bow to Mr. Du and Mr. Lian. "We'll see you later, Qin," Gong Xi added. They left together. Shu Fang called her manager to pick them up.
Shang watched as Gong Xi left. His manager noticed this. She look over at Dun He Lian who stared at Gong Xi's leaving figure then looked away, turning to his own manager, Mr. Du.
"Let's go," Lian said to Mr. Du.
Mr. Du nodded, waving at Manager Yang in good-bye. She waved back. When they left, she said to Shang, "We should go too. We have an interview in half an hour." Shang sighed but nodded, leaving quickly with Mei Shen behind him. Yang shook her head.. This is a mess, she thought.
A/n: There you go! Very short, I know, and I'm very sorry ^^ Dui bu qi (sp?) Since Reino was in the Dark Moon arc and the drama skipped it, I'm finding a way to sneak him in. Any suggestions? Also I want to describe him as one of the SJ-M members (I'm always talking about that :P) but I don't know which one. Any suggestions?
