Chapter Nine: Bye, Bye USA :(
New York, United States
Dianna sat on her bed, watching endless youtube videos on her phone as the television in her room blared at an equal volume. She looked up from her phone when she heard the word 'monster' be said out on the TV. She gawped in awe at footage of a giant Godzilla-like monster swimming through the Pacific, followed by countless aircraft and boats. The report switched to the chase of Godzilla, where a group of soldiers started to gather around a large tank like vehicle. Dianna froze in shock when she recognised one of the faces, Dad!
He was in Military uniform, pulling on a helmet, but it was Hunter, none the less. Dianna launched from her room, storming down the stairs into the main room, where her mother paced the room, talking on the phone. She turned on the massive widescreen and scrolled through the many channels until she found the one doing the report of Godzilla.
"Um, yes, I'll be able to make it to Japan. My agent said that you offered me the part of the Dad's wife, yeah?" Katie Love/Storm asked the director of the new movie that was in production. Dianna had heard a lot about the new 'Gojira', it was based on the battle of San Francisco a few months back. She had heard that her mother had been given the part of Ford Brodys' mom when it goes bacvk to the 1990s. Dianna found it kind of funny how her mom was going to play the part of the heroes' mom.
"Uh, yeah. I'll be there as soon as I can. Bye." Katie said before hanging up. she turned to her daughter, "Dianna, sweetie, what is it?" she asked as Dianna pointed to the telivisoon, "Dad's just been on the TV, he's chasing Godzilla now?" she asked, slightly angered and worried. "I guess so, but tomorrow, we've got to go to Japan. You know that I've been given an acting part, right?" Dianna nodded. "We'll have to start packinbg tonight if we're gonna get there, I booked the best hotel room in the area too." she laughed before going upstairs.
Dianna knew her mother never cared about Dad, the two had a break up when she was born, and Mom only came into her life a few years ago. ever since, She treated Dianna like royalty in an attempt to get her to want to live with her instead of Hunter. Dianna looked round at the TV one last time, catching a glimpse of her Dads' plane take off before switching off the television.
She ran back upstairs and got out her suitcase from when Dad dropped her off a few days ago, she pulled out her phone and went into her contacts list, selecting her Dad's mobile number, sending a text;
Hi, me and mom are coming to Japantoo. we're gonna be on the set of a movie. hopefully we might see each other! luv u :)
After sending the text, Dianna started to pack her things; clothes, toiletries, books and games.
Her mom had ordered pizza to celebrate their last night in America, the two sat on the sofa in the living room, watching their favourite box-set; Big and Bad. They were still on season two and Dianna had made sure none of her friends had spoiled it for her before she broke up for summer vacation a few days ago.
" Who plays Gavin Grey again?" Dianna asked her mom as she picked up another slice of pepperoni pizza. "Mark Stone, I think. " Katie said as she watched the main character of the show raise a gun on the TV screen. "Wait! I heard he's playing Joe Brody in the film, Mom, we're gonna see him on set!" the two cheered as they realised they were going to meet a celebrity.
Later, The two went up to bed so they'd get an early start to catch the flight. Dianna was so exited that she couldn't sleep. She stared at her poster of her favourite singer as she recalled that she would see Dad and she'd meet at least one famous actor in one holiday. A bird landed in front of the window, chirping lightly. Dianna tried to pass on a thought to the bird, focussing really hard on sending the message.
The bird chirped again and flew off, leaving Dianna staring out the window. "oh well. doesn't matter" she whispered before rolling over and going to sleep.
What do you think so far? I am planning to tie all of the separate character stories together in the climax, but that's still a while away yet.
Btw: Big and Bad is my own little parody of 'Breaking Bad' because it was pretty popular in its' day, and how the main guy who played Heisenberg (Bryan Cranston) was in Godzilla 2014, and this fanfic follows on after that so I changed the names of actors and stuff at random, Many thanks again To DragonRiderWarrior for creating these awesome Protagonists!
Stay Awesome!
