"How can I like her so much if I hardly even know her?" asked Isaac as he flopped down on his bed in the hotel room."
"I don't know Ike, cause your weird?" suggested Taylor. Isaac launced his pillow at his younger brother's head.
"Shut up Tay. You're one to talk, you like Bonnie."
"I don't not," he lied. He started blushing and stared at his feet.
"Yes you do Tay," said Zac. "You had a crush on her before, but you really like her now."
"Yeah, well there's nothing wrong with that. Isaac had a crush on Tre before."
"I did NOT! She was my fave from the show. But I didn't have a CRUSH on her! I may have thought she was cute, but I repeat, I did NOT have a crush on her!"
"Are you sure about that?" asked Zac.
"Yes, I'm positive," he said firmly. "Pretty positive. . .okay so maybe I did have a little crush on her. But I wasn't as bad as you two! You guys were obsessed with Bonnie."
"Were not!" they yelled in unison.
"Give me a break Mr. Oh-my-god-Ike-you-drove-her-car and Mr. Oh-my-god-Tay-you-touched-her-crutches. Oh, and let's not forget 'You carried her up four flights of stairs!'All that, and you guys tell me you weren't obessed. You guys were regular teenyboppers!"
"Okay. . .so maybe we liked her a little bit," said Zac.
***********
"I. .am so. .tired," said Tre as she collapsed into the couch in the girls' dressing room.
"Yeah I know. I never thought I'd say this, but thank god we have 'school' now. I can't stand another second of Jonathan Taylor Thomas."
"Glad I'm not you. I'd hate to pretend I liked him. Why do we have to do a show on fate?"
"Because the writers don't know what to write about, and every show does at least one episode on fate. And unfortunatly for me, it involves kissing J.T.T."
"HA HA!!" teased Tre.
"Oh shut up. It really does make you think though."
"About what?"
"Fate. Why do you think we keep running into Isaac, Taylor, and Zac?"
"Because maybe our publicists are best friend?"
"Tre be serious. I know you don't believe in this shit, but I seriously think there is some reason beyond our control as to why we keep meeting them."
"Repeat that."
"What? The whole thing?"
"No, the part about shit."
"I know you don't believe in this shit. ."
"Exactly, it's shit. That's why I don't believe in it."
**********
"Cut!" yelled the director for the third time in ten minutes. Tre could not stop laughing during the "big kissing scene" while taping the show.
"Tre! C'mon I WANT to get this over with!" yelled Bonnie, throwing her hands in the air. Her and J.T.T. had been trying to "kiss" for an hour now and Tre would not stop mocking them.
"Guys I'm sorry. It's just you two look so incredibly STUPID and it's fuckin funny! You can't even believe how stupid you look."
"Tree. ." started J.T.T.
"That's Tre, thank you."
"Tre, sorry. Will you please leave the room or something? You're making her mess up," he said indicating to Bonnie.
"Hey, don't be blaming this on me. YOU are the one that's screwing this up. I am doing this right. You suck!"
"I suck?"
"Yes, you're the one that's not paying attention."
"How am I not paying attention? You're the one that keeps laughing."
"Because you look so damn stupid saying these lines. Who wrote this shit anyways? This is so damn corny!"
"Hey guys stop arguing, everyone take five," said the director.
Bonnie plooped into one of the desks in the classroom set. "Someone save me!"
"Well I admit he's not as good as he used to be, I'm afraid his ego has gotten in the way of his acting a bit," said the director," however we do have some alternatives. There's scrapping the kiss, or scrapping J.T. and get someone else."
"You can't scrap the kiss, it's. .an important element. Scrap J.T, who else do you have lined up?"
"Well, there's Andrew Keegan, Scott Wolf, uh. .let's see. .Devon Sawa, Isaac or Taylor Hanson. . ."
"Wait a sec, hold up. Did you say Isaac or Taylor HANSON?" asked Bonnie.
"Yes, we offered them the part and they said sure, but J.T. had already agreed and we went with him instead."
"At this point I could care less about who else can play the par, anybody's better than J.T.T." she said. When the director turned his back she whispered to Tre," I'm telling you, f-a-t-e, fate."
**********
"I can't believe we have to re-shoot the whole episode," said Tre. "This puts us back like, what, three days or something?"
"Oh god, I know. But it's way better than working with J.T." Bonnie pointed out. "I do feel a little bad for the writers though, they had to redo a lot of stuff to fit in Isaac's part."
"I know, but thank god it made the episode just a little less corny."
"Yeah right Tre, you're just glad that Isaac got written in as Tylynne's satanic love interest."
"That's not funny."
**********
"Alright now. . .ACTION!"
Taylor placed his hand on Bonnie's cheek as she closed her eyes and sighed. "Annie, I really think there is a reason that we keep meeting like this," he said. "I think it's fate or something. I think," he paused," I think that you and me were meant to be together Bonnie." Bonnie's eyes snapped open in surprise at the mention of her name and not the character's. "Oops, I mean, uh . .Annie," he faltered, quickly realizing his mistake.
"Yeah. .um. . .okay," she said utterly confused.
"Take 2"
"Okay, start over," said Tay,"Your name's Annie, Annie, Annie. Got it."
"Wait! Tay you're blushing, go to make up. Take five everyone."
"Bonnie!" squealed Tre as she ran to her stunned friend. "That was like, wow what a screw up. I mean, GEEZ!"
"Um. .you don't suppose he meant it, do you? He probably just slipped up or something, right? RIGHT??"
"I. .I don't know. I have no clue," Tre answered.
"Whaddya mean you don't have a clue?! You always have a clue about important stuff like this."
"Well this time I don't. But the way he was blushing. ."
"Taylor always blushes," she interrupted. "He blushes if you say 'hi', he blushes if you say 'what's up?', and he blushes when he eats."
"Well then the way he was blushing this time, I don't know. Maybe he does like you."
"Oh man this is freaky."
"Why?"
"Nothing, it's just really freaky."
"No, you have to answer why. Do you like him or something?" Bonnie's head popped up. "Oh my god you do!"
"What? No! He was so annoying when we first met him, and then he never even said that much to me that didn't begin or end with a squeak."
"You like him."
"How can I? I don't even know him that well."
"F-a-t-e, fate. You said it yourself."
"I hate it when your words come back to haunt you," Bonnie groaned.
"I want you to say it outloud, you like Taylor."
"Alushfayer," she mumbled into her hands.
"What? I caaan't hear yooou."
"I like Taylor," she said softly.
"Ah, good enough I guess," she said just as Taylor had walked back to the set.
"Okay guys, let's try this one more time," said the director. "Quiet on the set! Action!"
"I think you and me were meant to be together Annie," said Taylor, coming in closer for the kiss. "Don't you?" Their lips connected, and both felt as if an electric current had passed through their veins.
"Scott, I. . .dammit! I'm sorry, I forgot my line," said Bonnie while laughing.
"ARGH! Okay guys, just take the rest of the day off. Let's finish this tomorrow," announced the director.
**********
"Hey Bonnie," said Tre when they were back in their dressing room. "What was with that scene? You knew those lines like you know our phone number."
"My mind just went blank," she replied.
"Yeah right. And I know how to fuckin stand up without falling!"
"Well it did!" she argued back.
"Must've been some kiss," said Tre. "Didn't really look like much, but it was enough to fuck up your brain."
"Come on Tre, it was just a stage kiss. It didn't mean a thing."
"Bull shit! You admitted it earlier, you like him. I know you like a book, that kiss definatly was something. I saw it in both
SORRY AGAIN, THIS WILL BE FINISHED AND UP VERY SOON. I'M SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY, I KNOW THIS MUST BE GETTING ANNOYING.
