*Rita's POV*
We are about three episodes into OITNB and piled up comfortably on Karma's bed before Amy's phone goes off, alerting her of a message. Katie, Karma and I all turn to glare at Amy for the interruption and she gives us a sheepish look before checking her phone.
"Oh shit!" Amy exclaims after reading the text and Karma reads over her shoulder before looking up at us with a panicked expression.
"What's wrong?" Katie asks and Amy holds the phone out towards us to reveal a text from Shane.
'Your mom said you were at Karma's. If you guys are naked and doing unspeakable things right now you have about two minutes to put your clothes on before I walk in on all of your lady love glory, XO.'
"Oh shit," I finally understand Amy and Karma's panic and before anyone can say anything else I grab Katie's hand and pull her towards the bathroom. I pull the door closed just seconds before I hear Shane open the door.
"How are my queens doing on this lovely day?" Shane's voice is only slightly muffled by the door and I look over to see with a huge grin on her face.
"What are you possibly smiling about right now?" I whisper and her grin only grows.
"Rita, it's Shane. It's The Shane," Katie replies much too loudly and I quickly shoosh her. In her excitement she steps back and accidentally knocks over some of beauty products lined up on the sink; they fall to the ground with a loud crash and Katie jumps back towards me in shock.
"What was that?" I hear Shane ask and I shoot Katie a murderous look. She just scrunches her face up in apology and mouths back, sorry.
"What was what? I didn't hear anything," Amy covers poorly and I hear movement which is probably Amy trying to dissuade Shane from opening the door.
"No, I definitely heard something. What are you trying to hide Amy?" Shane questions, his voice getting noticeable closer to the bathroom.
"Or should I say who? Were you guys in the middle of a threesome or something?" Shane continues, his voice excited at the concept.
"No Shane, don't" Amy calls as the door swings open and Shanes stands with a triumphant look. At least until he catches sight of us, then his face loses colour a little and he stands there gaping at us.
"Holy mother of hair product," Shane mumbles and Katie steps forward with her hand outstretched.
"I'm Katie, big fan," Katie introduces herself and turns to me as I shoot her a look. Shane composes himself enough to shake Katie's hand and Amy grabs him by the shoulder, gently leading him back into her room so that Katie and I can exit the bathroom.
After sitting Shane down on Karma's bed I introduce myself and begin to explain what was happening, to his credit Shane was surprisingly open to the whole thing.
"So just the recap, Rita and Katie are actresses on an MTV show about me?"
"Well, it's kinda more about those two, but yeah I guess you play a pretty big part in the whole thing," Katie replies and gestures towards Karma and Amy.
"And this show is popular?" Shane asks and I answer him this time.
"I guess you could say that, it was a bit iffy for a while there as to whether or not we'd get picked up. The Karmy Army is amazing though and came together to get us renewed for a second season," I response, smiling at the thought of Faking It's crazy dedicated fandom.
"The Karmy Army?" It's Amy that speaks this time and I turn to her and realize that none of them would know about the fandom.
"It's the show's fanbase, Karma and Amy's ship name is Karmy. Our awesome fandom took on the name and they call themselves the Karmy Army." Katie picks up the question and I'm a little surprised that she hasn't slipped into interview mode while answering all of these questions about our show.
"The fans are crazy dedicated, worldwide trends on Twitter, fan videos, some pretty intense fanfiction, and fan art; someone actually did a speed painting of my face, it was amazing." I continue and see varying stages of amazement on the faces on Shane, Karma and Amy.
"What do you mean 'intense fanfiction'?" Karma asks curiously.
"Well, let's just say that I think a lot of the fans forget that you guys are only 15 and 16," Katie replies.
"Do you think if we looked it up we might find some?" Karma asks, apparently rather interested in the idea.
"Uh, I don't really know it there would be anything about Faking It since we aren't in the 'real world' but I guess we could give it a go," I respond, but I'm rather sceptical as to whether or not it will result in anything.
Karma quickly grabs her laptop and offers it to Katie, when given a questioning look Karma shrugs and says, "You will probably have better luck finding something, I don't even know your last names. Well I now know Rita's full name but that's not the most helpful fact."
Katie brings up the equivalent of Google and starts typing, 'Katie Stevens' as we all watch over her shoulder.
"You were on American Idol?" Karma is the first one to speak when the result show up talking about Katie's run on the show.
"Yeah, a few years ago actually," Katie responds but she makes a noise of confusion and clicks on images.
"There aren't really any recent photos, I mean there are a few from Instagram and everything but none of the ones that have anything to do with Faking It," Katie says and Shane suddenly points to the screen.
"Wait, what's that Beauty and the Beat video?" He asks and I Katie takes her time clicking on the click.
"Oh gosh, this takes me back," Katie mumbles as a younger version of herself, fully decked out as Belle wanders onto the screen.
By the end of the video we have all had a good laugh, "Oh god, that was freaking amazing," Shane exclaims.
After a little more searching Katie returns to the search page; hesitantly she starts typing again, 'Rita Volk'.
Not surprisingly there was a similar result with mine, except that instead of American Idol most of the results involve the movie I did a while back, The Hungover Games.
"Dude, you were Katniss?" Karma asks in awe.
"Yeah, something like that," I reply and catch sight of the raunchy photos that were taken for the credits, "Oh God,"
"Damn Rita, that looks like a hell of a movie," Shane says with a smirk after seeing the photos.
"How about we try searching the other actors?" I suggest and shoot Katie a look until she complies.
"Oooh, mine first," Shane says excitedly and Katie laughs at him before typing in, 'Michael Willett'.
Shane is slightly disappointed when he sees that there isn't a whole lot that comes up besides Michael's YouTube account but once he has watched some of the videos he is smiling once again. The next name we search is 'Bailey Buntain' and the show that Bailey did a few years back, 'Bunheads' comes up in the results. After going through Bailey's photos we move on to Gregg as Katie types, 'Gregg Sulkin'.
The first thing that popped up was The Wizards of Waverly Place and Karma pipes up, "Oh my God, look at his sideburns"
"I guess some things never change," Amy mutters and I choke on my spit a little before breaking out in laughter. Since I was the only one that heard Amy I received odd looks from Katie, Karma and Shane, Amy on the other hands smirks at me and we return our attention to the screen. Finally deciding to cut to the chase and Katie types in, 'Faking It Fanfiction', but much to Katie and Karma's disappointment there isn't much that comes up.
"Sorry Karma, we did say it would be a long shot," Katie gives Karma a sympathetic look.
"From what I can tell, we all exist in this reality just not when it comes to Faking It. It's like all of our pre-Faking It stuff is there but after the show it's all been wiped," I say after a minute or two and Katie seems to be in agreement with me.
"So what do we do now?" Karma asks and I see a grin cross Shane's face.
"I don't know about you guys, but I want to watch The Hungover Games," Shane says with a sly smile and when there are noises of agreement from everyone else I groan.
Oh God, this should be fun, I think to myself as Karma managed to bring up the film surprisingly fast.
Hey guys, I was reading through the reviews and saw that there was a request for me to make my chapters longer. Now, I did originally intend to bring the chapter length up to 2000 words instead of my usual 1300 but I just wasn't quite feeling this chapter so I'm sorry if it is a bit dodge. I also felt bad because I've taken so long to update so I've decided that I'm going to bring the word length up to 2000 on my other stories as well if I can and I'll also be updating both of my other stories tomorrow instead of just one a day. So get excited guys, and I'll try not to disappoint. This little bit has been really long, sorry about that. -Zahli
