"YOU'RE GETTING OFF SUBJECT!!" You exclaim. He laughs. "Whaaat weeere you thankang?" You say, mimicking the preist on Princess Bride.
"Mawwaige! That dweam wifin a d-" Jason starts, then realize what he said in response to your question. You both crack up.
"See?? I told you. So.. you wanna huuuuug me.. you wanna looove me.. you wanna kiiiiis me.." You keep teasing.
"Alright." Jason says proudly. "So what if I do?"
Your eyes expand to the size of sea cactus'.
"Hi, is this Skandar? Hi.. yes, um this is.. first of all, where are you?"
"I'm on the beach, why?"
"Oh, so you're there for that thing.."
"Yeah, the photoshoot."
"Oh, yeah, right.. *ahem* Well, I'm the photographers secretary and was just calling to check up."
"Oh. Well. Everything's fine.." Skandar says,
"Okay, GREAT.. bye." *click*
"So what did he say??" Erin asks
"He's on the beach doing a photoshoot- this is even more perfect!!"
"Caroline?? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, fine, great, perfect.. you just called Skandar Keynes, didn't you? Oh my gosh.." She says rapidly and begins breathing in her paper bag again. Erin and Chelsea giggle at her dramatic shock.
"Eliiijaah!!!"
"Hey!!" He responds excitedly.
"
"Guys, before we go walking on the beach, we've got some serious work to do."
"You mean.. recruiting?" Dom asks, feeling
"Totally."
"Name?" Dom continues.
"Skandar Keynes."
"Oooh, Caroline.." He starts. She blushes and giggles, then says, "Well, let's hurry up then.." and everyone laughs.
"Okay, so we have to stop by the room to get *supplies*."
"Of course. What's your ETS?" Dom asks.
"ETS?" Caroline questions to
"Estimated time of session, duh." She replies and keeps running.
"I'd say about... 15 minutes. 20 max."
"Really? Wow, that's fast." Dom says, surprised.
"We've had our practice."
"Right, well, Elijah and I will go scope things out on the beach- we'll be back in 15."
"Okay, see you then."
"Curling iron, make up bag, sun dress, sandals- go." Erin instructs
"Soft and luminous." She explains to Caroline, regarding her skin.
"Red or white?"
"Definantly red."
"Right."
"Yay, it's perfect!" She says in a moment of rejoicing.
"Make up!!" Erin exclaims and
"Foundation." Erin simply states and
"Shimmer powder... bronzing powder.. under eye concealer.. eye shadow... other eye shadow.. other eye shadow.. eye liner... eye lash curler.. mascara..."
As
"Which shoes??"
"I like the red ones.."
"But she'll be carrying them so which ones will look the best dangling in her hand?"
"Oh, yeah, well, def the white ones, then."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"Sit."
"I'll get it."
"Hey, so he's actually on the part of the beach that's almost directly in front of the closest exit from your room." Dom informs.
"Great! We're almost done!"
Dom and Elijah gawk.
"Wow.. you guys weren't kidding when you said you'd had practice, were you?" Dom says, his eyes going out of focus as his head follows Caroline.
"Nice work.." Elijah says, laughing in shock.
"Hey, watch it."
Caroline's heels make a "click-clop click-clop.." on the wooden board walk as they walk towards the beach. All at once, Elijah, Erin, Dom, and Chelsea duck behind beach shrubs, leaving a confused Caroline who stops walking and looks to Dom and Chelsea.
"What are you guys doing?" She asks.
"Just keep going, he's right up there!" Dom says and points in Skandar's general direction. Caroline looks and sees that he's standing ankle deep in the surf with Will by his side, a wind machine blowing his hair, and a photographer rapidly taking pictures. Her mouth drops a bit. Anna would die to see this.. the famous Moseley hair swoosh and everything..
"What am I supposed to do??" She asks, her mind going completely blank. Hey, she's in the presence of perfection. Well.. he's standing just down the beach..
"Just GO.."
Dom uses imitation army hand signals to cue Elijah, who makes his way farther down the beach by sprinting from shrub to sand dune to shrub, etc. Caroline walks toward the water/the photoshoot timidly, not knowing how in the world she's gonna manage to talk to Skandar. All the sudden she is knocked/glided right into him by an unknown force and accidentally knocks him over.
"*GASP!!!* Oh my gosh!! I'm sooo sorry!" Caroline exclaims to Skandar who's backside is now drenched in sea water. She holds out her hand to help him up. A chuckling Elijah, donned in bright yellow and ketchup red jogging shorts and assorted sweat bands, mutters a "Oops, sorry, didn't look where I was going.." and jogs further down the beach.
Will recovers from his laughing fit and un-folds himself. "Wait.. you're.." He says, finally getting a good look at Caroline's face.
"Caroline." She finish with a sigh. Skandar is now standing up, shaking some sand off of his shirt with his hand, and staring at her.
"Wait, you know her?" He asks Will, never looking away. Caroline is looking more in the direction of Will, but down.
"Yeah, I do.." Will says surprised, and walking over to Caroline.
"I didn't realize I'd be seeing you again so soon.. how are you doing?" Will asks, amused.
"Oh, great, fine.." Caroline replies, highly embaressed and pretty surprised herself.
"Congrats, by the way, on the part.." Will says.
"Oh yeah! You too!" Caroline copies, suddenly excited. Will laughs.
"Well, it looks like we're about done here, right?" He says, then looks in the direction of the photographer.
"Yes." the photographer replies.
"Great, well.. I'll leave you to it.." Will says to Skandar. Skandar gives him a hard glance and Will giggles as he nods to Caroline and starts off back towards the resort.
"So.. Caroline.." Skandar says with a questioning air- trying to confirm her name.
"Yeah... Skandar, right?" Caroline asks, even though she doesn't need to.
"Yeah.. so you're in film?" He asks.
"Er... well.. not yet.." She replies.
"Oh." He says and nods his head.
"Caroline!! Where have you BEEN??"
"Hey, Skandar, right?" Dom asks and sticks his hand out.
"Uh, yeah, nice to meet you.. Mr.. Monaghan?" Skandar asks tentatively. Dom nods, then replies, "But, Dom is fine." Elijah appears, his normal clothes back on.
"Hi! I'm Elijah."
"Skandar." Skandar replies, quite confused as to why all these people are suddenly talking to him.
"
"Skandar-"
"Yes, hon, I think we've established that." She says sarcastically. Caroline glares.
"Well, shall we off, then?"
"Uh.. you wanna come?" Caroline asks. Skandar stands there, staring at her, for a moment.
"Yeah.." He says quietly after a moment. Caroline smiles. They walk a few feet behind the others. Wowwww... I can't believe that worked.. Caroline thinks.
Elijah whispers something in
"Really? No way! Me too.." Skandar frequently says. Elijah and Erin have decided to now play a romantic game of.. leap.. frog? And what's that? Dom and Chelsea are stealing that guys surf board to play limbo? Caroline decides to ignore.. or rather she can't help but tune everything else out. She and Skandar continue walking.
A little while later,
Just then, Caroline realizes the sun is setting with vibrant splashes of beautiful red, orange, and purple, sending a warm, romantic, glaze of light over everything. She turns towards the ocean to watch the sun set and Skandar turns with her. After a few moments of silence, Skandar's hand gently closes over Caroline's. She grins to him, but he looks on. This makes her giggle. Elijah and Erin settle down on the sand,
And you also are watching the sunset. Only you aren't on the beach, you're on Jason's balcony. Yes, by yourself, until-
"Hey, sorry about that. Wow, what a beautiful sunset."
"Yeah." You reply and smile. Jason locks his elbows and leans against the railing, putting his weight on his arms. You glance at him and smile, then look back towards the beach, sighing. Jason looks up at you.
"Hey, you know what?" He asks.
"What?" you reply.
"You're pretty cute, kid." He says grinning. You quietly chuckle.
"Thanks."
And so, you all have a perfect moment, watching the sunset and lapping waves. *siiiiiiighhhh*
*stop song: "Something Stupid"*
Why yes, now that you ask, I did only say "moment." Why? Well..
Feeling the breeze beginning to pick up due to the gradual disappearance of the sun and seeing goosebumps pop up on your bare shoulders, Jason walks over and hugs you from behind to keep you warm. You accept the warmth gladly and settle back into him. Who knew
"Hey look, is that
"Yeah, I think it is." Jason responds. You search around for the others, but after a second, give up and relax your neck.
"It's the most wonderful time of the year!!" Andy William's voice begins to sing, rising from your pocket. You reach in your pocket and grab your cellphone, flipping it open and exclaiming, "Hey mommy!!"
"Hi, Mrs. Lahfaoeiur!" Jason calls over your shoulder.
"Hey there!" your mom greets.
"Hay.. is for horses." You reply. Jason chuckles.
"Ah.. haha. So.. Congratulations!!!" your mom ejaculates.
"Congratulations?" You question conjecturally.
"On the part.." Your mom says unequivocally. Okay, okay, I'll stop with the big words. It's just.. it's hard to sound like a genius when you're writing a story about William Moseley and friends.. I mean, seriously. Buuut, I guess since everyone already knows I am a genius, it doesn't matter. *grin* *ahem* Well, anyway, on with the story...
"Wait.. you know about that? Already?" you ask your moomala, dumbfounded.
"Of course I do. Jason called me and filled me in this morning. He's smart enough to know to call the mother first." she replies. Your roll your eyes as Jason laughs softly. You spend the next few minutes jumping up and down and jostling Jason around as you celebrate with your mom. You know you're going to have to have a talk with her about all the details and everything when you get home, you're just happy she's celebrating with you and, at this point, allowing you to accept the role. You haven't technically accepted yet, you have a little while to decide, but, as it sounds, you have parental permission. Which technically you don't need, but you still live at home so parent rules still apply "as long as you're living under this roof!" You've heard that one a million times..
After you've calmed down a bit, you move on with the conversation.
"So how's Jason?" your mom asks. You hear the oven timer sound.
"Ask him yourself, the cookies are done." you reply, giggling, and shove the phone to Jason's ear as you jog inside.
"Uh, Hello?" Jason greets.
"Hi.. she's making cookies?" your mom laughs.
"Yes." Jason smiles.
"Not surprising.. always in the kitchen making some strange concoction. So, how are you doing?"
"I'm well, thank you. And you?"
"I'm doing good. Keeping busy, as usual. Just today we had an escapade with one of Matt's friends and a frozen bearded dragon."
Jason's eyes widen and he sort of scoffs in amusement. "Wow, sounds exciting. How old is he again? Matt?"
"He's 11. His poor friend was scared to death." your mom laughs- somehow making one of your brothers friends being scared out of his wits by a frozen bearded dragon sound tame and usual. "Excuse me one moment..." your mom says and Jason hears, though mumbled, "No you may not have a LAN party. I said no. I don't care if you want to play Warcraft. I don't even like the name of that game. Chris can come over, but you're not playing computer. Do something constructive. Play monopoly or create a robot or something. Now go, I'm on the phone." She raises the phone back up to her mouth. "Sorry about that, Jason."
"Oh, no problem, Mrs. Lahfaoeiur."
"I told you Ms.
"Oh, sorry.. Ms.
"So you're having fun.." Your mom states with a questioning air.
"Of course!!"
"How are Chelsea, Erin, and Caroline?" she asks.
"Great!!! In fact, they're... they're.." You peer over the edge of the balcony while Jason consumes half of the cookies and goes inside the hotel room to get some milk. You shriek in horror and incredulousness as you see what is taking place beneath you.
"Mom, I'll call you back in a few, okay?"
*5 minutes earlier*
"*sobb* I can't believe he had to leeeaave!!" Caroline laments, collapsing into a beach chair and looking longingly in the direction that Skandar had disappeared into.
"Hey!! It'll be okay! He said he'd be free later.. and until then, well.. you're in
"STOP!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? AGH!!" You exclaim and being to chuck cookies as hard as you can in the other girls direction.
"They can't hear you and why do you want to stop them? Let them have a little fun." Jason laughs, holding your arms back and knowing how badly you want to go down there and knock some sense into Erin, Chelsea, and Caroline. And Dom, Elijah, Brad, Matt, Orlando, Hayden, and that other dude- Matt- for that matter.
"But they're going to make fools of themselves!! And.. and.. cause so much attention and the entire resort is going to see it!! And the whole world after it gets to the media!"
"Oh come now." Jason says, turning you around, and "hugging" you so you can't throw cookies in his face. "Don't I remember something about you pretending to be a window washer? And besides... no one will remember it. .. In 10 years."
"AGH!!! JASON!!" you exclaim, frazzled, and break out of his grip to stomp into the hotel room. He laughs.
"Annnnaaaa..." He calls. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you mad."
"Shut up." You say curtly from inside the hotel room.
"Ohh, come on.. you can't be mad at me forever. I was joking." He teases. You stay silent.
"OH MY GOSH. IT'S GEORGE CLOONEY..." He says loudly. You rush out to the balcony.
"Where??" You question excitedly, then look up to his teasing face. He laughs heartily.
"Shut your face." You huff and cross your arms.
"I'm sorry.." he says with a "you know I was kidding and don't be
"Don't look at me like that!! *gasp* They are SO NOT doing the twirling the umbrella's part! Ohh my gosh.." You smack your head and fall back into Jason as you look down again.
"Maybe we'd better go inside.." Jason says, sounding a bit worried at your lack of approval.
"So what in the world are they doing??" is probably what you're thinking, right? Well.. this.. (with Elijah Wood, Dom Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, Hayden Christensen, Matt Damon, Matt Taylor, beach towels for tunics, over sized umbrellas, too much confidence, and a disturbing amount of enjoyment..)(oh, and
After they finish, you turn to Jason.
"NOW can I go?" you ask, nettled. Jason laughs.
"Okay. I'll meet you guys later after my last meeting?" He asks.
"Oh, actually we decided to have a girls night." You say and grin. Jason raises an eyebrow, then gives a slight smirk.
"Well, have fun then. See you tomorrow." He chuckles. He gives you a quick kiss on the forehead before you run into the hotel room (and out the door) with a, "Bye! Love you!" and he laughs at your excited vexation.
"
"OH MY GOSH I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS- ... hey.. you look.. fiiiiiineee..." you giggle and give her a seductive wink as you notice her appearance. She rolls her eyes. You pull yourself off the ground by
"Well.. it was just.. a.. sudden urge.. Who says our lives can't be musicals??" She asks gaily. You groan.
"With... sound systems? And famous people? And a beach full of other famous people who are watching??"
"Well, yeah. It makes it more interesting." She grins. You throw your head back.
"Okay, whatever. You had fun, yay for you." You shake your head, slightly disgusted, but laughing.
"By the way, guys, thanks- that was great."
"Matt Taylor. This is my girlfriend Abygail." He says and motions towards a gorgeous bikini-clad girl.
"And I'm Matt Damon." The other dude says, waving, moving his head to the side a slight bit, and pursing his lips while raising his eyebrows.
"Nice to meet both of you."
"So.. we hear you aren't window washer's at all.." Brad says kicking his head back a little.
"Heh.."
"Well, you had me fooled."
"Does that take much?" You mumble to
"That was quite a show you all put on.." you chuckle to the guys. The all smirk or laugh cheesily.
"Yeah, it was fun." Damon speaks up. You raise your eyebrows and he laughs. "Okay, and it was pretty weird."
You look to Hayden who is grinning smugly at you girls. You move your head back to
"So.. what'd you guys think of my dance moves?" Elijah asks, quite innocently, actually.
"I thought they were GREAT!!"
"Not the best I've seen. In fact, they were pretty bad." Brad corrects and side glares at
"So, how do you know them again?" Matt D. asks Brad.
"Haha, you guys seem cool." The other Matt says.
"If you consider impersonating window washers as cool, yes." Brad slightly mumbles and gives a "Rusty" grin. You laugh in his direction.
"Burrn.. but so true." You kid back. He chuckles. Chelsea and Dom have begun salsa-ing or something related to dancing wildly and
"Hey, we better get going." Matt T.'s girlfriend reminds him.
"Oh yeah, we should. See you guys." He nods while his girlfriend says, "Bye." sweetly and you all exchange farewells. He leads her away by placing his arm around her waist.
"What ever happened with the Erin-Elijah, Chelsea-Dom, You-? situation?" You ask Caroline once the attention is off the departing couple.
"Welll.." Caroline bashfully starts and blushes. "
"You mean?" you ask.
"Yeaah." she replies. You squeal and hug her as she giggles. Brad laughs, which makes you stop what you're doing and cough awkwardly.
"Um.. yeah. Uhh.. Well.. we're actually doing a girls night thing tonight, so we should probably head on." You say, trying to change the subject. Caroline tells the fella's goodbye while you round up Erin and Chelsea.
