One week and a Half Later

In my room, I go on to my phone. My father told me to keep an eye on my email. I might get a confirmation letter of the cast.

Today, I got the email. It went like this:

I sighed. Well at least I know this is happening and there is no backing down. I take a sip of my hot chocolate and sit back on my bed.

That Monday

I report to set as I should on Monday morning. I enter from the back door and am immediately greeted by Chiron Brown the director.

"Hello, Piper." He said to me warmly.

"Hello, Chiron. Let me just tell you that it is a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Brown." I told him. He is one of the best directors in Hollywood.

"Oh thank you, Piper. I am glad to be the director of your first and big film." He said.

I smile. He begins to fill me in what I am to do. When he is done I could only nod for he explained almost everything.

"Well this weekend we did most of the back up and background footage. Transitioning and such. We just need your spark." He said to me at last.

"I won't disappoint you." I assure him. He shakes my hand and walks to his director chair.

I looked at that chair and resist the urge to jump on it. My father and mother are film producers, director, and actors. And whenever I visited, I would always jump on the director's chair and sit all mighty.

I look away before I embarrass myself. I look at the set. I stand front and center and look around me. Everyone is bustling and rustling about, not paying attention to the girl standing in the middle of nowhere.

Just as I was going to walk away, a girl with startling blue eyes and spiky hair approaches me.

"Hey, I am Thalia. Your 'assistant' in this movie." The girl said, pointing air quotes around the word assistant.

I smiled, "Hey. Good, I have an assistant. I don't know what I am doing here."

She chuckled, "Welcome to showbiz. You never know. Why don't I show you to your dressing room."

I nodded and she led me to a room behind the set. It was a normal dressing room like in the movies. It had the lights around the mirror and such.

"So here you go. I am going to let you settle in. Word of advice. Don't let my brother take the jelly beans that in that bowl, "Thalia pointed to a big blue bowl of jelly beans, "Those are for you. He is just hog who needs to get used to not getting everything he wants."

She laughed and I stand there, confused. "Who is your brother?"

"Oh, I am sorry. We don't look alike but Jason Grace is my brother. And I know what you are thinking. Why is Jason Grace's sister not an actress? Well I am more of a behind the camera kind of girl. I'll let you settle in."

And with that she leaves me in the shiny bright room.

"Weird." I muttered to myself.

I put my purse on the couch provided. I go and stand in front of the closet where some clothes are hanging. A note is attached to some of the clothes. I know from who it is just by looking at the writing.

Pipes,

Guess what? I am a designer now. I have been asked to design the clothes for the flick! I hope you like it. Please put on the outfit attached to this note. It's the first one for the first scene you are in. Then head to hair and make-up next door.

Good luck,

Mom

I sighed as I looked at the clothes she designed for the scene. According the script, in my first scene I was to present myself to the audience. The movie is set in more modern times so the outfit is composed of jeans, a floral tank top, and a soft black blazer. My character's first scene is at a mall where she spots her Romeo but doesn't know who he is. Cheesy.

I dress and head to the hair and make up department. I arrive and everyone is so busy I feel bad just standing there. Luckily, a beautician notices me.

"Oh come here, darling. I will help you. I am Lacy and I am going to help you get ready throughout the film." She pats a chair in front of her and I sit down.

"Thank you, Lacy." She smiles and through the mirror in front of me I can she is really pretty. She has blonde hair curled into ringlet at the tip. Her skin is light at evenly tanned. Brown and beady eyes and plump lips. She is thin but not stick skinny. Well she is a beautician.

She preps me. She decided to let go loose of my hair which I had in loose bun. She curls it and puts a small purple butterfly pin at the side.

"'Innocent' is what they requested." She said as she pinned on to my hair.

I smile and she continues. She applies light and neutral colors. I end up looking… well… innocent. She tells me to head to Chiron and he will tell me what to do. I nodded and obeyed. As I looked ahead I noticed Annabeth Chase getting prepped and ready by another beautician.

I go to Chiron and he sets me to my place.

I now stand on a set that looks like a mall. Extras are everywhere and a particular blonde is approaching me. It's Annabeth Chase.

"Hey. Annabeth." She introduces herself.

"Piper."

"Looks like we are in this scene together. Oh and your 'Romeo'too." She points behind me. I turn around to spot Jason and a few extras plus Luke Castellan and Nico di Angelo.

I smirk. "Yeah."

"Hey if you need anything with the showbiz stuff I am here." She told me.

"Thank you. People think that because my parents are very active in the show biz I am very aware but I am not." I tell her.

She smiles. Then we suddenly jump when Chiron yells, "Okay listen up. This is one of th first scenes and the first with our love birds."

I blush at the term.

"It's critical since it's cheesy and sweet. These scene are difficult. Lets get it right! Places."

Annabeth and I stumble to our places. I have to ask her, "Why is this scene critical?"

She shrugs. "He is just exaggerating. He is that way."

"Lights!" the lights get brighter.

"Camera!" the silence around helps me listen to the cameras focusing.

"Action!" the marker goes off.

Scene I

Camilla Mayfield and her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Jasmine are at a mall looking at various pieces of clothing. Jasmine confesses to Camilla that her boyfriend, Camilla's cousin Carter, has asked her to marry him, and that they are going to announce it to everyone during the Rose Petal Ball. The Rose Petal Ball is an annual masquerade dance the Mayfield family has.

They keep going on about how Carter is either an annoying cousin or a sweet guy. The later being Jasmine's words.

Soon they decide to leave the former store and walk through the crowds. A lot of bumping occurs and somehow Camilla bumps into Hunter Norwood. They fall to the ground. Julian and Cameron, Hunter's friends, along with Jasmine realize they are the off springs of two rival families. They quickly retrieve their friends from the ground before they can find out who each other are. Jasmine pulls Camilla and confesses who the guy was.

"That was Hunter Norwood." Says Jasmine, whispering.

"Am I supposed to know who he is?" Camilla says, oblivious to the situation. Hunter and Camilla never met due to their families' distance with each other.

"He is the son of your family's enemy." Jasmine tells her.

Camilla, in unknown synchronization, and Hunter glance at each other through the crowd.

"Oh." Is all they say…

"Cut," Chiron Brown yells, "perfect scene!"

Everyone stopped and clapped. I have no idea why. I thought they did that when the movie ended.

I join their clapping, reluctantly.

For the next few hours, others are filling in the scenes to lead up the Rose Petal Ball: The first "fight" scene, in this case argument between rivals and Hunter and Audrey action.

I am at the moment getting fitted to a beautiful orange dress which is one-sided strap and diamond sequins lead down to my waist. The skirt is layered. (Link on my profile)

"Since you are going to wear a mask I am not going to put much eye make-up. Alright?" Lacy told me. I nodded at let her do her thing. Soon she finished and told me to go down to the set. I passed by Annabeth and soon figured out that Lacy's sister was Annabeth's beautician and that she and I were to be in the same beauty station throughout the film.

Annabeth was wearing a beautiful yellow dress. It had diamonds around her wait and strapless. (Link on my profile)

"Wait!" Lacy yelled behind me as I almost left the station. "You forgot your mask. Let me put it on so you don't mess up your hair."

I smiled and as before, let her do her thing. She let me go after that.

I arrived on the set and Chiron told me to stand near the staircase. I nodded and approached it.

"Okay! Everyone to you places. Grace! To your mark. Remember you are crashing a ball. Di Angelo, Castellan behind Grace! Reyna please go to your place."

The boys saluted and did as so. Reyna just glided gracefully to her spot. Annabeth had joined me and rolled her eyes at Reyna's dramatics.

"So the love song for the lovers is Be Your Everything by Boys Like Girls. We signed a contract with them. Music coordinator, you got it?" Chiron announced. He turned to the music guy for an answer. The guy answered yes. "So people, when you hear that music that means the lovers are dancing and others need to look away. Well except for Carter in other words, Percy. Got it?"

The cast replied positively and headed to their positions.

"Okay, light, camera, action!"

In previous scenes, the Mayfields and Norwoods had broken into various business arguments. This has been going on for years and years but this is the final. Hunter Norwood is in process of marrying Audrey Miller, daughter of a rich aristocrat who is in good terms with the Norwoods. However Hunter is in no means in love with Audrey but he complies with his family's wishes.

In this scene, the Mayfields' annual masquerade ball is happening. Also in this ball Carter Norwood tells the family he is to wed Jasmine Holbert.

An invitee list had been made before hand as usual. Audrey is in that list. But only her. Yet she brings her soon to be husband, Hunter, as her date. She reunites with friends and after introducing himself with Audrey's friends, Hunter leaves to wonder around.

After a series of events, he ends up in the middle of the dance. He somehow ends up in the arms of Camilla Mayfield. Because it is a masquerade ball they have mask on so they can tell who they are dancing with. However Carter notices and runs to tell his uncle Jeremy, father of Camilla, that his daughter is dancing with the spawn of his worst enemy. But Jeremy Mayfield sees no harm in the boy and lets it off his mind.

The protagonists dance and unknowingly fall in love, sequentially speaking. Audrey then has to leave and goes out of her mind looking to see if her boyfriend is anywhere near.

Hunter is with Camilla getting to know each other but don't figure out they natural rivals. Their song starts and they begin to dance more closely. After a bump or two they kiss but only to be interrupted by Audrey calling from afar and Hunter having to leave. Camilla can only ask herself who he was. She didn't even get his name.

"Cut!" Chiron yells. "Jason, Piper, beautiful couple truly!" He then realizes that Jason is dating someone and retreats, " Five minutes."

Everyone bustles about in their gowns and tuxes, smirking at the occurred. I was still mesmerized by the couple of kisses Jason and I shared. I won't admit it, but he is a good kisser. I'll leave that for the interviews when they ask me to rate him.

I look at Jason beside me.

"You were great." He told me. "Are you sure you haven't done any movies before?"

"I'm sure. I'm only a singer. That's it." I replied.

"That reminds me, I am a big fan of your music. See ya later, okay?" he says walking away in his gelled back blonde hair and black tuxedo. I nod. I find myself nodding a lot. I head to Annabeth but before I do, I see she is 'cuddling' with her real life boyfriend, Percy Jackson. What is it with this movie that casted couples to play the parts.

I take out my phone and see I have a bunch of messages from Leo.

"Oh Leo!" I say to myself, hurrying to reply his messages.

ME: hey leo! sorry i haven't answered your texts. i have been so busy with the movie :( im off in 2 hrs. Macee's?

I put my phone in my pocket waiting for his text. Since we were young, we have gone to Macee's for milkshakes and fries. It's become our hang out. I just hope he isn't resented with me. Then again, he is Leo. It will be fine.

I hear a beep.

LEO: well, well, well. look who decided to reply. beauty queen! i thought you forgot about me and meet you there. gotta go. LEO OUT XD

I smile at the text. Good he is not resented with me.

I look around and everyone is busy with friends. Annabeth signals me to go with her. I agree and walk to her.

"Why so alone? This is Percy. Your 'cousin'." She introduces.

"Hey." I say, shyly. I remembered that in my senior year everyone fussed over him. And Jason. Look at me now.

He stands up from his chair with a goofy grin which I think is permanent. He is something of good looker. He has unique green eyes like the sea and jet black hair. But his feature read well… goofy.

"Well hello my little cuz." He says putting an arm over my shoulder. "Welcome to Hollywood. Don't be shy to ask anything to your ol' cuz, Kay?"

I laugh and Percy and Annabeth join. Little things like these make Hollywood a little less scary. Hopefully after this I return to my music. Hollywood can be dramatic.

I look ahead of me and see Jason, smiling at me.

I have a nudging sensation in my chest but I ignore. I am going to stay drama-free.

Hopefully…

"Places!"

A/N: So this was… long. I just couldn't find a good stopping place. I hope you like this. It was dull and I know but I need to kick start this story some how.

Please note: The italicized part in this chapter in the plots and scenes of the movie. Its just to give the story a movie-like feel.

I'm sorry to say that not even the slightest Jasper happened in this chappie. I'll take the advantage that this is the second chappie. It will get better. I promise.

Now I need t o udate Ambrosia once more, for a reader.

BW out, Leo Style!

~BeautiWind -heart-

I'm lately thinking of writing this story as a M-rated story. It's Hollywood people. Stuff happens. But all that stuff will happen later on. It's still being processed.
