-o0O0o-
Anthony edited the Lunchtime direct after they had shot it, so they could still post it that day. They had a couple of Lunchtimes in stock, but they wanted the newest one up as fast as possible. The faster it was up, the faster the acquaintances from Lysa could see it. At least, the trio hoped they would see it.
'So, have you guys looked at the reviews for the newest Lunchtime yet?' Lysa asked the next morning with her mouth full of cereal. Anthony opened his laptop.
'Not yet, but we will now.' He said. He really hoped that the reviews would be a bit positive, and that people would believe their story, how unbelievable it sounded. 'Let's take a look at the top comments.
"I'm not really sure if I believe them. This IS Smosh after all. And Anthony and Ian are really good actors. But the girl looked really serious and honest, not sure if she could lie like that. I hope it's a joke, for her sake". 68 likes.
"Nice one boys! You almost had me there! BUT I'M NOT THAT EASILY FOOLED! XD" 45 likes.
They're not convinced yet, but there are more people hesitating, than that there are people who think it's all rubbish. So, that's a good thing, I guess.' He concluded. He had suspected something like this. You couldn't ask people to take this as a truth without any proof. It's too extraordinary for that. Lysa nodded.
'Yeah, I just hoped there was one top-comment that believed it completely.' She said, sounding sad. Ian put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
'Hey, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that someone who does know you will see it. Now that I say it, shouldn't we check the mail to see if there are any replies?' He said, quite reasonably. Anthony nodded.
'Good idea.' He opened the mail. 'Wow. We've got four hundred unopened e-mails.' He scrolled down. 'I don't see your name so far, there are mostly false names or just people that say they don't believe us. Let me search for it.' He typed "Lysa" in the search-engine, but there were zero search results. The shoulders of all three of them that were tens in anticipation slumped. Anthony felt a sparkle of hope inside of him fade.
'Right. So no one that knows me has seen it. We're still nowhere.' Lysa said sadly.
'Hey, don't think like that! Maybe they just haven't seen it yet. We don't know. It was only posted yesterday. A lot of people haven't seen it yet.' Ian said reassuringly. Anthony felt the sparkle of hope light up again, just a little, but it was there. Ian was right. And she could always play in a video for their first channel if this didn't work out. Those video's got more views anyway. Lysa didn't look convinced.
'I hope you're right.' She said, before quickly returning to her cereal. Anthony and Ian also resumed eating their breakfast. It was finished in silence. They put the dishes in the dishwashing machine. Lysa went to play a bit on her keyboard and Ian and Anthony began reciting the script of their new Smosh-video that they were going to shoot in a couple of hours.
-o0O0o-
'Hey, I wondered if we could Lysa somehow built into this.' Anthony said after a couple of minutes. Ian frowned.
'Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but isn't it a bit last-minute? I mean, we already send the final version to Ryan*, and Lysa should have some time to prepare herself. And she should agree first, of course.' He answered. Anthony couldn't disagree with this logic.
'I guess your right. I just want someone to recognize her so badly! She really deserves to be with her family again, and they also must be worried sick.' He replied with his shoulders slumped. Ian nodded understandingly.
'I know.' He said. 'I want to find her family just as much as you. But it would be wiser if she'd be in video after this. God knows she already does far too much when she should be resting.' He frowned. Anthony nodded, suddenly realizing something.
'Hey, who's gonna take her to the hospital this evening? She has her weekly check-up!' He said a tad worried. 'Are we filming anything this evening?' Ian thought for a moment.
'Yes, we need to shoot the hug-scene in the evening. And we're both in there.' He said, crushing Anthony's hope that one of them maybe was free. 'Can you ask Kalel? She already knows Lysa, and if she isn't busy I'm sure she won't mind.' Anthony mentally slapped himself. Of course!
'Let me call her. I don't think she is very busy this evening.' He said relieved.
Kalel indeed wasn't very busy and agreed to take Lysa to the hospital. 'I'd be happy to help!' Anthony breathed out relieved. That was one less worry.
Before they knew it, the film crew arrived. Lysa curiously walked out of her room when she heard them arrive.
'Lysa, this is our crew. Crew, this is Lysa.' Ian said. Lysa smiled.
'Hey.' She said shyly. The unknown men smiled.
'I saw you in the Lunchtime.' One of them said. 'I really hope you'll find your family soon. I'm John, by the way.' He smiled and Lysa smiled back. She already liked this man.
'Thanks. Well, I'd better leave, before I hinder you all.' She started to walk back to her room when she heard someone call her back.
'Hey, you can just watch if you want; as long as you're silent it should be no problem.' One of the men said. Lysa felt her mood rise up. She really liked to see how a high-quality show like smosh was made.
'Sure, I'd love to!' She replied enthusiastically. She settled down on the couch as the men set the cameras and lightning up. They tested the lighting on her and after they were done she had to make place for Ian and Anthony.
'Look what a strange text I just got from my mom! Why is that word in auto-correct anyway? Like something like that would ever happen!' Ian said to Anthony. Anthony smiled his trademark half-smile.
'Oh come on Ian. I've gotten far stranger texts. Just imagine how stupid it'd be if auto-correct was actually realistic.'
-o0O0o-
The afternoon was over far too quickly for Lysa's liking. It was really enjoyable seeing Ian and Anthony doing the most ridiculous things for their videos. She also had helped out a couple of times with the lighting, and it was great fun. When it was six o'clock everyone took a break and ordered some pizzas. She was seated next to Anthony.
'Lysa, since Ian and I are busy this evening, Kalel is gonna take you to your check-up, are you're okay with that?' He spoke up. Her check-up! She'd totally forget about that! She really didn't feel like it, she really wanted to stay and she also really didn't want to go back to the hospital.
'Do I have to go? I really want to stay here and film some more!' She whined. Anthony laughed.
'Relax, we'll still be filming tomorrow. But I'm sure it won't be that bad. Kalel will be there, remember.' He said. Lysa shook her shoulders. She guessed he was right, and she'd also like to see Kalel again, even though the last time she'd seen her she completely broke down.
'Okay then. I guess I don't really have a choice.' She agreed reluctantly.
'Great!' Anthony said. 'Kalel will be here around seven fifteen. I trust it you'll be ready then?' Lysa nodded and ate the rest of her pizza in silence. She'd be going back to the hospital in a couple of moments. She really hoped this would be the last time.
-o0O0o-
Kalel arrived at the smosh house at seven ten. She pressed the doorbell and patiently waited for someone to open it, thinking about what she was gonna do this evening. Taking a girl that she only met once and who completely broke down in her company to the hospital. A place she probably really didn't want to return to. Great. She just hoped Lysa wouldn't break down again. The last time wasn't really a great experience. She was startled out of her thoughts when Anthony opened the door.
'Hey Kal!' He said before softly kissing her. 'Thanks again for helping out on such short notice. I own you.' He let her in. Kalel looked around the living room, seeing the familiar crew. Some looked up and greeted her, and Lysa walked up to her.
'Hey Kalel, thanks for taking me.' She said, faking a smile. That only confirmed Kalel's suspicion that she didn't really look forward to the visit.
'I'm glad I can help. Shall we go?' Kalel answered. Lysa agreed and together they walked out of the house and stepped into Kalel's car. Lysa looked a bit weary. Well it was understandably since she was in a car of basically a stranger. Kalel tried to loosen the mood a bit.
'So, is Ian still irritating you?' She asked. Lysa smiled.
'Always, but he bought me a keyboard so I really can't stay mad at him.' She answered.
'Wow, a keyboard?' Kalel replied surprised. 'That's so cool! Do you play piano?'
'Apparently.' Lysa answered happily. 'I saw one standing in a shop window and just really wanted to try it out. It turned out I know quite a few songs.' Kalel felt happy for the girl. It was amazing to have something you really loved, and it sounded like Lysa really loved music.
'That's great.' They talked about music the rest of the journey to the hospital, and it really wasn't as bad as Kalel thought it would be. She managed to get Lysa forget about where they were going for at least a small time. When they pulled up in the parking lot of the hospital Lysa's brow furrowed though. No denying it now, they were back at the hospital. The place where Lysa had met Ian and Anthony, but also the place where she found out she had no memory, and where they had almost send her to a child services location.
