So Staci is going to live, because that would just ruin my story. I still want to keep writing and not end it right away. It's too early for misery, although she is still going away to Pennsylvania. Yes BTR is not mine; yes I forgot to say that in Chapter 2. I can't believe I popped out 4 chapters in such a short period of time. I will warn you updates will begin to dwindle down a bit, but they will not stop.

The big house was quiet without Staci. But she was really close with her sister and wanted to go see her game. I didn't blame her. If that was my brother playing I would have gone to Pennsylvania too. But he's in New York on Broadway and I always went to see him on opening night. So I understood. I told her to wish the team luck for me and then Staci was on her way.

"You didn't say goodbye," James said when I got out of my dad's truck. It was my job to bring Storm to and from the set, so he had my car.

"Yes but I am here to say hello," I kissed him on the cheek. "Staci needed to get back to pack. Her sister's basketball team made it to states and they're playing tonight. I'm sorry."

"I guess I forgive you, but Logan won't."

"Oh that's right. Do you know where he is? Staci wants me to give him her number."

"I don't think he's here yet. Everyone else is. You ready to head into hair and make-up and wardrobe?" He asked me.

"No not really, but we should probably go get ready. Apparently we're filming today. If you see Logan can you tell him I have something for him from Staci?'

We walked to the studio and saw the cameras lined up. I tried not to trip on the chords, preventing myself from looking stupid. Not that James would have cared, but Kendall was standing at the end of the hall with Carlos. They would have thought it was hilarious. The set sure was busy with tons of people running around making sure we all went to the right place and were ready to go.

"Hey guys," I said once we reached them.

"They blew a fuse in there. So they're not ready," Carlos said about the hair and make-up room.

"Lovely," I said sitting on the floor. James then joined me.

He held my hand and said "What's lovely? It happens all the time."

"He's right there's never a day where something doesn't go wrong. When everything goes right then something's wrong," Kendall said when he and Carlos joined us on the floor.

"I take it they blew a fuse again," Logan said plopping down beside Kendall.

"Yup. They always blow a fuse in there," Carlos sighed.

"Staci wanted me to give you this," I said handing Logan an envelope. "She couldn't make it today she's back in PA at her sister's basketball game."

"Logan's got a love letter," Kendall teased. I could tell he was angry about Staci not liking him. But I was angry that he didn't like me, so let him be miserable.

"It's just her cell number," Logan said punching Kendall in the arm. "And a card that says 'Have a great day'. It's not a love letter!"

An hour later we we're all ready to go. I met James outside my dressing room when I was completely ready. He looked cute in the swim trunks he needed to wear for the pool scene. They were red and his white tank top matched the stitching. I didn't even realize that the outfit they put me in was the same color as his. I had on a white bikini with a red dress.

"I forgot to give you something this morning," he said grabbing me and giving me a kiss.

I could sense he didn't want it to end and neither did I. Eventually I couldn't stand being on my tiptoes any longer. But I knew our lips were locked for about thirty seconds. I was shocked he didn't fight to get his tongue in my mouth. He was content with our lips touching. It was really sweet. Again his lips tasted like orange juice but now there was a hint of toothpaste.

"We match," I said when I lowered myself. "Well the colors do."

"You are just too cute. You know that? Gosh Arianna…"

"I know. But it's just we match."

He laughed when I repeated it and led me toward the pool area. It was really pretty my second favorite next to the fair. There were a lot of people already there. I looked at James and he smiled. He showed me around the pool area and other parts of the set.

"This is Erin, her character Camille is an actress so she's pretty crazy. Don't get worried when she slaps me it doesn't hurt," James said.

"I'm Arianna Walker, my dad's one of the new writers," I said.

"Is it true you're dad made you audition for Natalie? Because I still can't believe it," Erin said.

"Yeah he did. I didn't audition in front of my dad though. The casting director didn't even know I was his daughter until they choose me for the part," I replied.

Just then it started raining. I saw Kendall walk up behind James and shove him into the pool. Before I knew it all four boys were in the pool, laughing and having fun. I guess the rain meant the scene around the pool wouldn't be shot today. Carlos grabbed my ankle and pulled me in, with the rest of them. I screamed as he did so.

We were ushered out of the pool to go get ready for the scenes at the recording studio. I was excited to hear how the song turned out.

I walked into my dressing room to find another note from my dad. "Sweetheart, Here's your script for next week. We want you to do another episode with the boys to get more feedback. You and James might like this one. Love Dad." Ok so James and I were going to like this episode filming next week. The plus side was I got to spend another week working with him.

I dried off and went to go get my hair and make-up fixed. Once again my hair was done in loose curls. I liked my hair that way I felt like a princess. I was dressed in skinny jeans, a lavender tank top, and tan cardigan. Now I really felt like a modern day princess.

"Hi Dad," I said when I met him outside the mock studio.

"Hi princess, I did tell you Natalie is a princess didn't I. But that doesn't come out until next week," my father said.

"She's a what?"

"A princess, sweetie. We're dropping the whole cowgirl thing."

"So wait I'm a princess now. How far from reality are we going with this? Daddy I thought you were going to listen to me."

"Yes but you see Natalie doesn't know she's royalty so she lives a normal life."

"This is crazy," I screamed. "How many times is this character going to change dad?"

"We're still trying to work some things out."

I walk away before I could hear anymore. My dad was just digging his hole deeper and deep. I was starting to think the show wasn't going to work. I hid in the corner and thought things over. An idea popped into my head about Natalie. Couldn't she just be a regular teenage girl trying to make it in show business? I would bring the idea up to my dad when filming was over.

"What are you doing in the corner?" Kendall asked when he saw me sitting there.

"Thinking"

"About?"

"Natalie, my dad is completely ruining her. I really don't want to think about it right now," I sighed.

Of course I didn't expect Kendall to pull me off the floor and hug me. "Parents only want what's best for their children and sometimes the mess up. But everyone messes up once in a while. Sort of like what I did with you. I guess I just thought I'd end up with you, and I needed to put out effort and not sit around waiting for it to happen. I'm sorry Arianna," he said. His eyes looked sympathetic.

"I know. Everyone screws up sometimes. I forgive you for being a total ass," I said. "I think I heard them calling for us."

"Yeah you're right."

Filming went well. Way better than what I thought. We needed to stop every so often when the guys would do something bizarre. It was loads of fun, knowing the rehearsing we did the last two days was finally paying off. I enjoyed watching the guys really get into their play fighting over me in the studio. Logan broke a chair in the process, that's how much fun we were all having. We got way to into the acting part and I actually felt like I was Natalie. Now I just had to get her to be a normal teenager, without wanting to rip my father's head off in the process.

"You're not leaving without a goodbye tonight. You know that right, Miss Walker," James said.

"Oh I know that Mr. Maslow. Seeing as how you were so upset about it yesterday," I teased.

He kissed me lightly and then said. "I heard you and Kendall had a heart to heart about him being a total jackass. Is that true?"

"Yeah. I got mad at my dad and he helped me get over it, then he apologized for being stupid. You were still getting ready. I'm sorry," I said kissing him on the cheek before getting into my dad's truck and driving away. I didn't want to leave but I knew I would be there all night long.

I couldn't leave Arianna be mad a Kendall forever. She has to work with him until her dad straightens her show out. Please review, I can handle whether you like my story or not. Let me know and I can try to make it better.
