The week had gone by too slow for Keira since Lisa had dragged her all over London to go shopping. However the week did pass which meant it was time to fly out to the Pirates location.
"Lisa we are going to be late!" said Keira as she loaded her car with their luggage. Lisa was coming along not just because she was Keira's assistant but also because she was rehired as Susan's costume assistant. Susan was the costume director for the first film and agreed to return.
"Maybe if you helped me carry this we wouldn't be running late!" replied Lisa as she was slowly walking towards the car with two heavy luggage bags in her arms. Keira sighed as she went over to Lisa and took one of the bags. They placed them in the trunk and then they had everything they needed.
"Okay now get in the car!"
"Alright alright no touchy" said Lisa as Keira was shoving her in the front seat."By the way where are we going again?"
Keira grinned with excitement "Parlos Verdes" she said as she turned on the car and drove towards the air port.
Orlando was also running late since he had stayed up late the following night celebrating his friend Anthony's birthday party.
"You're all set" said Anthony as he placed Orlando's last luggage bag in the trunk of his car. "I'm going to miss you man."
Orlando walked over to his friend and gave him a "man" hug. "Same here. Come down and visit me on set when you can."
"I will, I will. Remember if you need a friend I'm just a phone call away."
"Alright I have to go or else the plane will leave without me" said Orlando with a light laugh as he got in his car. Before driving away he waved to his friend one last time.
"Now" he said while scratching his goatee he had grown for the film "what is the shortest way to get to the air port?"
It took him 15 minutes to get to the airport in London and 10 to get his luggage checked. Even though Disney had gotten a private plane to fly out the cast to their location Orlando still had to wait in the waiting area, mostly because he was the first one to get there.
"And I thought I was going to be late" he said in his head.
Suddenly he heard a familiar female whining to someone. He turned around in his seat and saw the costume assistant Lisa from the first film with Keira.
"Keira" he thought. She was wearing her blonde long hair down and straight with her bangs pulled back. She had on a long teal skirt, a silver belt with a white tank top and flip flops. Simple yet beautiful. He himself was wearing dark jeans with a blue button down and his hair in a pony tail. He liked how Keira looked instead. "Congrads Rupert" he said in his head as he continued looking at her as she talked to Lisa. He figured they must have become close friends during the first film and Keira probably hired her as her assistant. He then turned slightly and noticed Lisa was looking at him with a grin so he quickly turned his head.
He heard whispering and out of curiosity turned his head to see if Lisa was telling Keira anything. When he turned his head all he saw was a white tank top. He looked up and saw Keira smiling down at him.
"Hey" she said. "I see everyone else is running late."
Orlando returned her smile easily. "I guess you're right."
The twp stood there smiling when they heard Lisa clear her throat.
"Orlando this is my friend and assistant Lisa. She was the costume assistant on the first Pirates film."
"Ah yes I remember her. Nice to see you again" he replied while shaking Lisa's hand.
"Likewise" said Lisa. "Well I'll be right back. I'm going to go grab a bite. See ya." She walked away leaving the two ex's alone to talk. Keira stood there awkwardly for a minute before she sat down next to Orlando.
"So how have you been?" she asked still smiling. This was all a little bit awkward for Orlando especially since of their history and what happened at the premiere almost two years ago.
"I've been well. Everything's been great..." he said nervously. "How about you? You seem happy. How are your parents?"
"I'm fine my parents are happy and everything has just been well."
They stayed quiet until Orlando spoke again. "How do they like Rupert?" he asked quietly.
She looked at the floor for a second then looked up again to face him. "They liked him."
"Liked?"
"Rupert and I ended our relationship" she said.
Orlando looked up at her in shock. "You…you did?" Keira nodded.
That meant Keira was single and that maybe "No, Orlando" he said in his head. "That's ancient history".
He suddenly got curious. Why did they end it? Did he cheat? Orlando grew angry at the thought of someone hurting Keira. "Why? What happened? Did he hurt you! If he did-"
"We just decided we would be better off as friends" she said interupting him so he could calm down, which he did.
"Oh, sorry. Sometimes people are better off just as friends."
Keira nodded in agreement. "True but sometimes not."
Before Orlando could respond Lisa came back carrying a drink and cookie with Johnny and Geoffrey right behind her.
"Look who I found" she said as she pointed to the two actors behind her. "They didn't believe I was your assistant or your friend Keira."
"I'm sorry. For all I know you could have been a crazy fan" said Johnny in defense. "Although you look very familiar."
"She was the costume assistant in the first film" said Keira.
"Yes! Now I remember. Sorry Lisa."
Lisa laughed with an eye roll. "It's fine-"
"How long do we have to wait to get on a plane?" asked Geoffrey interrupting her.
Everyone laughed. "We are still waiting for Gore and Jeffrey who seem to be coming right now."
Everyone turned their heads to see their producer, director, and costume director coming their way.
"Lisa I haven't seen you in so long" said Susan as she hugged her old assistant.
"I know but we are all here now."
"Which is good because that means we can all get on the plane" said Gore.
"It's about time!" said Geoffrey.
'You didn't even wait ten minutes!" said Orlando in surprise. " I was the first one here."
'What do you want a medal?" asked Geoffrey with a chuckle."Come on lover boy."
Everyone got up and made their way to the plane. It was a fancy plane that only movie stars get to use when they are flying to the location of a set. The seats were big white comfortable chairs with arm rests. Lisa was seated next to Susan across from Jerry and Gore. On the other side of the plane were Orlando and Johnny seated across for Geoffrey and Keira. Geoffrey took out his script to scan through the second movie even though he was in the last scene.
"What do you know? Keira you are going to be kissing both of these fine handsome actors" said Geoffrey with sarcasm clear in his voice.
"What?" asked Johnny confused. "Let me see that." He grabbed his co-stars script and read the lines. "Wow, he's right."
All four stood there in an awkward silence.
"Great. I'm going to kiss my ex's co-star who is also my co-star in front of him when I'm trying to get him back" said Keira in her head. "This is going to just great…"
"She's going to kiss him and I'm going to be jealous even though I don't want to be because I shouldn't be" thought Orlando. "Perfect."
"I got these two together in the first place then Keira ruined it for who knows why. Now that I want to try to get them back I have to kiss her. How fantastic" thought Johnny.
Geoffrey grinned." This is going to be fun" he said to himself.
