A/N: Don't hurt me! I know it's been too long since I've updated...a thousand apologies for that. [grins] But hey! New chapter! Yay! Also I know this is PS fanfic...but for any Twilighters out there who might be reading. Did you see the movie? Can you say ah-mazing?! I shall one day marry Rob. He is just tooooo cute xD

"Ok so here you got to act nervous and timid, well 'cause your new. But don't overdue it. It's acting but you don't want people to be able to tell that you are acting…if that makes sense," Violette said pointing to the section of script she wants Sam to act out.

Sam set her script down on the coffee table and got up off the couch. She insisted they practice in the house. Away from others view…and distractions…

"Start by coming through the kitchen…like your entering the cafeteria. Carry a plate or something if you want." Violette instructed as Sam skipped into the other room.

She grabbed a plate—just to amuse Violette—then acted like she always does in school. She dipped her head and walked into the family room. She paused briefly at the door to peek up from under her lashes at the 'crowd' then quickly dipped it again and hurried to the 'less crowded' side of the room. That was when Violette bumped into her. Sam dropped the plate she was carrying and quickly bent to retrieve it mumbling apologies under her breath.

"Hi, I'm Liza. You're new here right?"

Sam nodded. "Kristen."

"Kristen? Cool. Hey why don't you come sit with me and my friends?"

Sam hesitated and Violette grabbed one of her hands.

"Oh come on they won't bite, well unless you ask them too," she said winking back at Sam.

"Bravo!" Someone yelled from behind them followed by an applause. Sam jumped and spun to see a group of people at the door.

Kyle was one of them. Along with a few others she didn't recognize—except her Gram who was grinning from the back of the crowd. Sam groaned internally and blushed.

"Like a natural! I guess she didn't need any training after all," Kyle said walking over to them and slinging his arm around Sam.

Violette rolled her eyes. "Yeah because we were just playing cowboy all day, not practicing at all," she sneered sarcastically. Kyle barked out a laugh.

"Of course…but there is still natural ability in there. Not one day of training could do that," he said speaking of their mini trial.

Before Violette could say something else Kyle spoke up again.

"You guys look good together," he said smiling and untangling his arm from Sam to check his watch. He let out a whistle and clapped his hands.

"Well it's been reassuring seeing we didn't hire a complete and total talentless rookie…but I gotta run. Come Violette," he put on a pair of sunglasses Sam didn't even notice that he had and headed for the door.

Relieved that everyone was gone Sam slumped on the couch. She looked up when she heard a chuckle.

"Got to hand it to the man; he has a lot of faith," Jake said coming to sit next to Sam. She couldn't help but laugh with him. It was quiet for a minute while Jake flipped through her script. Sam jumped as something came to mind making Jake look at her.

"Oh! Guess what?"

"Oh my God what?!" Jake faked girly gossip enthusiasm. Sam ignored him and peeked around to make sure no one would over hear.

"You'll never guess what I saw—"

"—probably not so spit it out," Jake said interrupting her and throwing the script back on the coffee table. He leaned back and draped his arm over the back of the couch. Sam scooted to the edge of her seat and turned so she was facing him.

"Violette and Pepper sucking face in the barn!" Sam said cringing at the memory. "She was all strattling him and gro—" Jake slapped his hand over her mouth. He made a face and swallowed audibly.

"Ok—that was enough to make me want to skip eating for one day…let's not make it two."

"Hey I'm the one that hade to see it! So consider yourself lucky," Sam managed to say after she pried his big hand off her face. His hand was just about as big as her face so this made it a little more difficult. Not to mention his brute strength compared to hers…which was much lacking.

Jake laughed in response and Sam smacked him in the back of the head before trying to make a run for it…unsuccessfully. Jake grabbed her arm and yanked her back on the couch. He wiggled his fingers as a threat and Sam's eyes widened.

"Have mercy!" She begged, it coming out as a howl as Jake set his attack. She wriggled and fought but wasn't making any progress in escaping.

"Eh-hem."

Sam and Jake jumped. Jake tumbled off the couch onto the floor. Sam couldn't help but snicker but put on a poker face when she looked up to see Gram, Wyatt, and the cowboys standing in the family room. Gram was laughing, Wyatt glaring, Ross blushed every color of red and escaped to the kitchen, Pepper had an oddly evil grin on his face, while Dallas was mumbling something about 'damn teenagers'.

Gram—of course—broke the silence. "Ok quick turn the TV on!" She demanded yet ran to the TV to turn it on herself. It was already set to the local news station. Everyone came and took a seat. Gram shushed them.

"So Crystal I hear you have some exciting news for Darton?" The anchorman said. Sam had to giggle. Because the douche totally reminded her of the actually movie: Anchorman. As if thinking the same thing Jake snorted…only to be shushed by Gram again.

"Yes as we all know well known director Kyle Ginny is here to shoot a movie, but what you might not know is one of Darton's very own has landed the lead role in it!" A young lady said just as a picture of Sam came on the screen. "Yes high schooler and local resident Samantha Forster has landed the lead role in 'Thousand Lies' she will be staring next to Violette Lee who is also familiar with Darton—"

Crystal droned on while Sam got up and went into the kitchen. She wasn't surprise to hear Jake follow. She grabbed a soda and raised an eyebrow in Jake's direction. He nodded and Sam tossed him a soda. She popped hers opened and sat down at the table next to Jake.

"Well that's cool," Jake said actually breaking the silence for a change…of course the one time Sam was content with silence.

She let out an exasperated sigh.

"Ok…or not?" Jake inquired.

"Not really…I mean I guess…ugh! I don't know!" Sam said then took a long sip of her soda.

"It's just…now everyone knows…" she said shrugging and tracing the lip to her soda can.

"Well Sam hate to break it to ya…but they were going to find out sooner or later. Though some people don't believe it Darton does live in the 21st century…things don't really happen ten years later like some think." Jake said logically.

"But still…"

"Still what? I think if you wanted to keep a low profile being in a movie wasn't the best way to do it…"

Sam looked up at a grinning Jake. She rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Dang, here I was thinking if I did this people would ignore me more than they already do…" Sam said pretending to be exasperated.

"Yeah well…goes to show how much you know," Jake teased.

Sam smiled and knew…no matter what, Jake would always treat her the same.
