Author's note: This chapter is set during Last Dances & Last Chances. So in the script for that episode, there was no Auslly kiss, but Ross and Laura decided to add one in anyways. I bet you know where this is going to go:)
Ross's POV
Laura and I took one last look at the script before heading back to the set to start filming again. Normally, she'll have memorized her lines really well, and I'll have to really try to remember mine, but we decided to look at the script together today.
"Don't you find that this scene...is missing something?" she asked me.
"Yeah, it seems...unfinished." I replied. "But I don't really know what's wrong with it."
Any other pair of actors who play a couple might feel awkward discussing what's wrong with a romantic scene, but Laura and I are totally chill.
She shrugged.
"We'll figure it out on set, or maybe it'll be fine."
We headed to the set, ready to film the slow dance.
"Hey Ally. Where's Gavin?"
"I just broke up with him."
"Really? I just broke up with Piper. But if she asks, I told you that she broke up with me."
"Hey, we never got to do that slow dance. What do you say?"
"I'd love to." I reply. I really would love to.
"So why did you and Piper break up?" Laura asks as Ally.
"I've always liked you." I reply, as both Ross and Austin. "I guess I've never stopped."
"I feel the same way." she responds, as either Ally or Laura, I don't know. "I've always dreamed of going to prom with the perfect guy. And the perfect guy is you."
"So I didn't bring a horse of fireworks or anything and it's a little late, but would you be my prom date?"
She smiles. "Yes."
And that's when I realize what's missing with this scene. Without any warning, I lean in and kiss Laura. She kisses me back, so I'm assuming she's fine with it, and no one says, "CUT!", so I think we're doing a good job.
I hear Raini and Calum talking for their lines, but I'm not really focused on them. I'm just focused on the beautiful girl in front of me.
After a little while, someone yells, "CUT!"
"Great job, guys!" Raini tells us, "That was a great addition to the scene!"
Raini's never been a crazy Raura shipper like Calum, and she usually just pretends that all of the unscripted Auslly scenes that we do are just for the show. Calum, on the other hand...
"Raura is real! Yeahhhh!" he exclaims, pumping his fist into the air triumphantly.
Laura blushes, and I just roll my eyes.
"Calum, it was just for the show!" I explain, not exactly 100% truthfully.
"Mm-hm. Sure." he replies, not buying it at all.
"Great job everyone!" I hear from a megaphone somewhere. "You get a half an hour break, and then we continue filming!"
Calum goes to find something to eat, and Raini goes back to her dressing room, which leaves Laura and I totally alone on the set now.
"So...you figured out what was missing, huh?" she says, smiling.
I shrug nonchalantly, but I know she can tell I'm really pleased with myself.
"And you were okay with it," I point out.
She tilts her head to the side in confusion.
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know," I answer, "I thought you would be fine with it."
"Can I tell you something?" she asks.
"Sure," I reply, not really knowing what's coming.
"That...that was my second kiss."
I don't know why I'm so surprised, but I just am. Laura blushes, sensing this.
"Haven't been hanging out with many guys, have you?" I tease.
She shakes her head. "Pretty much only you."
"What about your high school prom dates?" I ask.
She shrugs. "Just friends."
"Why did you go with them, then?" I ask.
"Because...well, I couldn't ask you." she admits.
"Me?" I'm taken aback.
"Well...yeah, I wanted to, but I didn't think you would say yes."
"Laura," I reply, "I've always liked you. I guess I've never stopped."
She giggles, realizing that I'm quoting the scene that we've just filmed. Then her eyes widen, realizing that I'm actually telling the truth.
"Well...I feel the same way. I've always dreamed of going to prom with the perfect guy...but I guess I wasn't as smart as Ally. I didn't realize that the perfect guy was you." she replies.
"I guess it's a good thing that we have this prom episode, then." I smile. "It's like a do-over, your perfect prom."
"Yeah," she smiles. "I guess so."
Then she stands up on tiptoe and kisses me on the cheek. She blushes, seeing my positive reaction.
I pull her into a hug, and she sighs with contentment. I hold her in my arms for a little while, until we're interrupted by the sound of loud crunching.
Crunch. Crunch. It's Calum, eating a carrot.
"Heyyy! You guys are still here? What's up? Why are you hugging? What happened?" he says all at once.
"Uh...well, we were just chatting, so we stayed here, because...we're about to go now, I'm really hungry!" I reply, knowing that if I told the whole truth, it would be on Calum's Twitter in under a minute.
"Want a carrot?" he asks, pulling one out from his back pocket.
"You keep carrots in your pocket?" Laura asks. "I thought that's more of a Dez thing."
He shrugs. "I wasn't sure if I would want another carrot, so I took one."
I laugh. Calum can be so funny without even trying!
"CALUM! We need you over here!" we hear from another room.
He runs out of the room, leaving myself and Laura alone, once again.
"Where were we?" I ask.
"I think...we were about here." she replies, wrapping her arms around me once more.
I smile. We might be "just friends", but I know that we love each other way more than any other "just friends".
