Alone on Set <Open>

[Deleted]

In The End

Well only regret the the chances we didn't take.

Jonathan pushed opened the doors to the All the little pieces set and slowly poked his head inside to take a look. As he had expected nobody would be around this late so he pushed the door open wider to let himself in. Before he took another step he turned around quickly to catch the door and slowly guided it closed so it didn’t slam loudly. It wasn’t that he would disturb anyone, were the door to slam since nobody was around, but he was not one to make needless noise. When the door was closed he quietly made his way towards what appeared to be the living room prop already set up. "So this'll be where most of the scenes are shot" Thought the young man as he slowly reached out his right hand and scrapped his fingertips across the cardboard wall. It was funny in a way, how everything looked so real over the television. If only people know just how fake their favorite shows really were.

Now in front of the couch, John took his gym bag off his shoulder and placed it beside him. After adjusting in his seat to find the comfy spot. His eyes begun to slowly scan the room, trying to picture what it would be like if he was suddenly <on> as they say in the business and how he would handle his character when that wonderful camera's gaze finally was focused on him. That thought alone was enough to part Johns lips as a sly, almost goofy smile appeared on his normally composed face. 'This is it.' he joyfully thought to himself as he pulled a bottle of water from out of his bag. 'I finally made it to the big times, all I have to do now is play it cool and one day soon I'll be in Hollywood, sipping wine with Robert Downy Jr and making out with  Scarlett Johansson' His mind ran wild with all those wonderful little ideas of what the future could have in store for him, so much so in fact that he was now in his own little day-dream. His attention utterly pulled towards his fantasy.

Everyone’s experience is different.

It was hard to believe her luck. How was it that Raven had been this lucky? To say she was nervous and confused was an understatement. She had never thought about going into acting, always loving the flow and the feel of dancing. She could barely hear the music so knowing the timing and pace in her head had always been advantageous. Now however she was to act on a television show! She had no idea what she was doing.

Raven had convinced her mother to take her to the studio so she could peek in on the sets. She had received a copy of the script already and had begun to pour over it. Some of the sibling banter between her character and her older brother on the show was great and the byplay between Raven and John had the director happy. Why else would they hire a young girl who had never acted before? She wanted to take a look at the sets and get a feel of what the place would be like. Not that she really had anything to compare it to but it sounded like a good idea didn’t it?

She found herself stutter stepping for a moment as she stepped onto the stage for the living room. Raven hadn’t expected to run into anyone really even if that was rather silly. Still it had surprised her. At least this was someone she recognized. She had only met John that one day during the script read when her life had been turned upside down. Honestly it was nice to meet someone who she felt comfortable about asking stupid questions to. He had been acting for a few years and he wasn’t that much older then she was so all was good.

Stepping up to the side of the couch she waved in greeting at him before speaking. “Hi there, John right?” Hopefully he wouldn’t mind so much that she was bothering him.
