Title: Just plain acting Author: Henra Email: HenraM@tuxedomask.com Rated: G Chapter 1 #~~~~~~~# "You ready?" asked Mark. Serena Junelin put on her sunglasses, and nodded. Mark opened the double doors. As soon as Serena walked out,camera flashes came. "Thank goodness that I have my sunglasses on, otherwise I'll beblind over the flashes." Serena joked. "Oh, sheesh, I'm the only stupid one here. . .I forgot to bring my glasses. Oh, god, it's really not fun being your body guard, Serena." Mark said, while blocking his eyes with his left arm from the camera flashes. Serena laughed. "Oh, Serena, Serena! Can I have your autograph, please? Please!!!!!" a girl shouted, holding a notebook in her hand. "No, Serena, please, sign mine first! I'm your biggest fan!" a boy with brown hair yelled. Then, the crowds began screaming over whose Serena was going to sign first. Serena turned to Mark with hope in her eyes. "Mark, please?" Mark groaned. He stepped on the stairs and shouted on top of his lungs, "Everyone, can I have your attention, please?" The crowd soon quiet down. "Yes, thank you. Miss Junelin can't sign anyone's notebook, paper, pictures, or, or anything right now, so, please, don't make her mad, and let herpass." Large groans came from the crowd. Serena smiled gratefully at Mark, and then went through thecrowd without having any problems. "They definitely hate me now." Mark said. "Oh, but I still love you." Serena joked. Mark made a face at her. Serena only smiled and walked toward her car. "What's next?" "Um, if I remember correctly, you are suppose to go to Mr. Kustle's office at 1:30, to talk about the new movie that you'll be starring in." "Oh, right, I completely forgot about that. I wonder what's the movie called." "I think it's called Anything For You." "Ugh. Bet it's a romance movie. I just really, really hope that I like my co-star. If I hate him, then this movie is going to be very BAD." #~~~~~~~# "Marlene, what's the next appointment?" asked Darien Gormen. "Oh, you have a meeting with Mr. Kustle at 2:00 about this movie thing that he'd like you to be in." answered Marlene. "Shoot. Anything For You is going to be boring, I just know it." "Well, I don't think so. Last time Mr. Kustle came here, he was going to show you the scripts, but you weren't here, so I looked over it. It is a well-plotted movie. And I think that the main male charater, Bryan, is perfect for you." "Perfect? Bryan? I'm going to be called Bryan? I liked that name ever since I was little. Cool." Darien smiled. Then he asked, "Do you know who's going to be my co-star?" "No, I'm sorry. But when I read the scripts, the main female character was called Lizzy, short for Elizabeth." "Elizabeth, Lizzy. Very beautiful name. I wonder who's theperson that is going to be Elizabeth?"#~~~~~~~# "Serena Junelin! Wonderful! You are here! Have you decided ifyou are going to play Elizabeth?" "Hello, Mr. Kustle. And yes, I have decided. I'm going to playElizabeth. Only, I prefer to call her Lizzy." Serena answered with a smile. "GREAT! I only told you about it last Sunday. How did you decideso fast?" "Well, $20 million dollars just for acting in this movie is already very cool." Serena winked at Mr. Kustle. He laughed. "Oh, Serena. You know that you are going to havemore than that once the movie is out." Serena smiled. "You are counting on me." "And the other guy." "Who's the other guy?" "Your co-star. Oh, I hope he decided if he'll play his role ofBryan." Serena looked at Mark, and then shrugged.#~~~~~~~# "You have to sign. . .right here." Darien signed his name. He put the pen down and shook hands with Mr. Kustle. "Hey, it's going to be great." "I'm so glad that you are going to play in this movie. It's going to be hot, I can see it now." Darien laughed. "Oh, you are just-" "Hey, every single movie you featured in was really hot." Mr.Kustle said with a wink. Darien shrugged. "Whatever." "Please come to the studio on the Monday after next week. We are trying to start as soon as possible." "The Monday after next week. . .I can manage that. See you then!" with that, Darien left. "Hey, wait!" Mr. Kustle called, but Darien was already out of sight. "I forgot to tell you about your co-star. . ."#~~~~~~~# "Well, you are excited, aren't you?" asked Mina, Serena's bestfriend. Serena smiled. "Yes, I am excited. Because this movie is going to be really cool, I can just feel it. Also, I read the scripts that Mr. Kustle sent to me, and I'm telling you, Min, the character Lizzy is so like me." "Oh, Sere! Hey, do you like your co-star?" "Co-star? Oh, I haven't met him yet. But, he's going to beBryan, and the character's okay, I guess." "You haven't met him yet? Oh, man! Why didn't you?" Mina asked, frustrated. "Because I forgot to." "Oh, right. Because you were too busy, huh? Or, do you have another excuse this time?" Serena laughed. "No, this time, I REALLY forgot." "Whatever. Hey, let's go to that shop over there! I'm already seeing beautiful clothes!" Mina said, while dragging Serena toward 'Mary's LittleStore'. "Oh, this jacket is so cute!" exclaimed Mina, holding up a white little jacket with orange flowers across from it. "You are right, this is cute! Buy it!" Serena said. "I am." Mina smiled at Serena and put the jacket on her cart. "Ooh, I love this pair of jeans, and that little shirt over there." Serena put the jeans and shirt in HER cart. "Hey. . .Sere, remember when we were in High School, you saidthat you wish one day you can just pick things up and buy it without worryingabout the cost? Well, your wish has come true. You are a millionaire now." Serena smiled. "Yeah, I remember that day. It's just that I never expected to be an actress. I always thought I would be a teacher or something." "Well, I'm glad you are an actress right now, being a teacher is both tiring, and getting small salaries." "Mina! I wanted to be a teacher because I want to teach things!" "But, you like the you right now, right? I mean, one movie afteranother movie, you get millions of dollars in every movie you star in!" Mina said, grinning. Serena grinned. "Yeah, it's pretty cool. I can buy things without worrying about the money or anything. You are right, my dream came true. Only. .. . . . the dream about finding my only love didn't." Mina sighed. "Oh, Sere, you are only 19! There are still so manyyears to your life to find your 'only love'!" "You are always right, Min." Mina laughed.#~~~~~~~# "Okay, what should I wear?" Serena asked herself on the Mondaymorning. She pulled out a pair of blue tight jeans, and a white tanktop. "It'sone of my simplest outfit. . .oh, well. I'm going to change over at the studio anyway." Serena murmured. She combed her hair, put in her usual famous meatballs,grabbed a muffin, and called Mark through her cell phone. Mark parked the limousine in front of the front door. Serena put on her fluffy white coat, and went out the door. "Hey, Mark." greeted Serena. "Hey, Miss Junelin." Mark grinned. "Whatever. Come on, let's go. I'm real excited about the new movie." Serena climbed in the car, and they were on their way to the studio. #~~~~~~~# "Mr. Gormen! You are early!" Mr. Kustle called out. Darien smiled. "Please, it's Darien." "Oh, right. I'm just, you know, used to call people by Mr. or Mrs.or Ms." Darien nodded, and grinned. "Sure. . .hey, where's the director?" "The director? He's right in front of you." Mr. Kustle said with asmile on his face. "You? The director? I don't believe it! Wow!" Darien exclaimed. "Haha, I know, I can't believe it myself. This is my first timedirecting something, so bear with me, okay?" Mr. Kustle winked at Darien. Darien gave him a thumbs-up sign. "Of course." "Hmm. . .I wonder where's Miss Junelin. . .hope she can get here intime so we can have an early start." Darien froze. He stared at Mr. Kustle firmly. "What did you say?" "I said that I hope Miss Junelin can be here in time. What?" "No." Darien whispered to himself. He turned and walked to the set. "No, it can't be her. . . . .Junelin. No way. It's just probably another girl with the same last name. It just. . .CAN'T be her." Darien sighed. *Serena. . . .is it really you?* "Hello Mr.Kustle!" Serena called out once she arrived. "Serena! Great! Come! I was hoping you aren't late. Ha, you aren't." Serena smiled. "Hey, how can I be late when YOU are directing themovie?" "How did you know that?" "Oh, I got it from this and that." Serena winked. Darien had his back to her. And his heart leaped. *Her voice. . .so cheerful. . .no, it is Serena. Serena Junelin. Oh, man.* Serena took off her coat, and threw it at a chair. "So, what do wedo first?" Mr. Kustle grinned. "Wait, you didn't even meet your co-star, didyou? Well, Darien? Come over here!" Serena's eyes popped out. *Darien? No way, it CAN'T be THAT Darien. No, no, no. Oh, God, please don't be that cruel. No, it probably just another guy with the same first name. Yeah, that's it.* Darien lifted his head. *Oh, no. Here it goes.* Serena turned around. *Is it him? Please, don't let him be DarienGormen.* Darien took a deep breath, and sighed. Slowly, and even more slowly, he turned around with his face facing the floor. Serena gasped. *That hair. . .so familair.* *Oh, man, oh, man, oh, man, oh man.* Darien lifted his head. Blue met blue. Serena almost fainted. *No, it's him. It's him. It can't be. He'sstill that handsome. . . . . . .* *My god. Serena. . . . . .how are we suppose to get through thismovie together?* Darien asked Serena through his mind. "Oh, god, oh, no." Serena whispered. Mr. Kustle looked at Serena, then looked at Darien. He looked backand forth between the two. He scratched his head. "Um. . .guys? Can westart?" Serena tore her eyes away from Darien. She looked at Mr. Kustle, and said, ever so softly, "I'm sorry. . .can I. . .can I be, um, can I go to the restroom for a minute?" Mr. Kustle was concerned. "Yes, um, sure, dear. Go ahead." "Thanks." her voice cracked. Serena ran straight outside to therestroom. Darien stared after her. *Serena. . .I'm sorry.*#~~~~~~~# In the restroom, Serena pulled out a paper towel and wiped hertears. She looked into the mirror. Her eyes were red. *Darien Gormen. Why? Whyare you appearing in my life right now? I did fine without you for two whole years. . . and I'm a famous star. You! You are here now. I hate you!* Serenarepeated the thoughts over and over again in her head. She began to cry. "I hateyou. I hate you." she whispered softly. Serena stared at herself through the mirror. Darien's face appearedin front of her. She shook her head. *NO, no, no!* Tears came rushing downas memories came to her mind. "God. . . .I hate this." Serena said softly.*Darien Gormen, I'm going to show you. . .I did fine without you for two whole years, and I'm going to continue doing that.* with that thought in mind, Serena walked out of the restroom door. #~~~~~~~# "Serena!" Darien exclaimed when he saw Serena coming in. Serena stared at him, blankness in her eyes. "Yes?" "Um, I'm just glad that you are back, that's all." Darien saidawkwardly. "I wasn't planning on going away." "Yeah, yeah, I knew that." Darien said. He looked at Serena. *Youstill hate me, don't you?* Serena froze. *Did I just hear him ask me do I hate him?* she shook her head. *No, no, no. I'm just being crazy.* Mr. Kustle clapped his hands together. "Well! Let's began! First ofall, I'd like you guys to look over the scripts." he handed them over toSerena and Darien. "Elizabeth Mclason, Lizzy, starring Serena Junelin." Serena read aloud. Mr. Kustle smiled. "Yes. Lizzy. . .I really like that name." "I can tell." Serena grinned. *Oh. . .no. I'm still so attracted to her. Serena. . . . . .*Darien sighed. "Okay, since you both starred in so many movies before, I assumethat you guys know what to do." Mr. Kustle said, a smile in his voice. "Yes, memorize our lines." Serena and Darien said together. They looked at each other, Serena gave Darien an icy look, and thenlooked away. *Okay, she still hates me.* Darien stared at Serena's back. *I cannot give in now. I can't. Darien Gormen, prepare for iceattacks.* Serena thought to herself. _______________________________________________________________________ Heehee. . .ice attacks, huh?
