Editing Peeps: The Intro

"I hate everything," Apolo said, bursting into the editing room one day, holding a tape in her hands. "This, this is almost three HOURS long and you want us to edit it by WHEN?"

Evin shrugged, sipping some wine as he lays on a chair. "Blake said by Tuesday, but if you keep up this attitude, he may extend it."

Ram sat in the corner with Michi, the latter spitting out her coffee as she checked the schedule. "What the fuck dude, I work all of those days" She cursed, slamming into a chair and groaning.

"Anyway, how's the recording going?" Ram asked, politely nodding to Apolo as he uploaded the podcast onto his computer, wincing as the two- almost three-hour recording comes up. He cracked his knuckles, speaking to the team "Ray and I will cut it down to about an hour tops, Michi and Willow will do sound effects, Jukebox will work with Apolo to add music, and Purpled will look it over for minor edits, and convert it to an MP3 to submit it. Cool?"

"Why does Purpled have the easy part, that's not fair" Willow complained, sitting down on the couch in the corner of the room to rest. Purpled just hummed, relaxing on the chair.

"Well that's because he's highkey stupid," Raycel said bluntly as he entered the large room, a tray filled with coffee in his hand. He gives one to each person in the room, as he sighs. "We need more people on this team, doesn't the recording team have like over 15 people?"

"There are 13 of us, but the point still applies. We are looking for more members for the editing team but it's come up to failure." The banter in the background, mainly Willow, Apolo, and Purpled having a heated discussion (read: argument) about only God knows what quiets down.

"Well, we should get started ey? Time for no sleep for the next..." Willow checks the date on her computer, grinning "Three days!"

"No sleep gang!" "Let's get this party started, eh?" Willow and Michi sarcastically cheered, taking a sip from their respective coffees.

The editing team, unlike the recording team, was calm, working in peace. The studio was only filled with talking or typing from the computer.

Well, until Blake and Nini came in. Then the room succumbed to chaos.

Evin, upon looking at Blake, jumped up, dragging Nini out with the excuse of "They needed to plan the date of their first recording." Nini, who came in for that particular reason, shrugged as she let herself get dragged.

Around a similar timing, Apolo's head whipped towards Blake, pointing a finger towards him. "You. I have a problem with you." She mutters while other heads start turning towards the door. Blake turned to Nini, who was getting yanked by Evin, mouthing a "help me," to only getting a measly shrug from the girl as the duo disappeared around the corner.

"You pulled a bitch move trying to make this due on Tuesday, you know that right?" Apolo asked, irritated at the decision Blake made.

"What's wrong with making this due Tuesday?" Blake asked, looking at the small group of teens in the office. They blinked, looking at the date and time. "Blake, it's 3 in the morning on Sunday"

"Oh..." Blake started, grinning "Well you better go ham on the editing. Good luck!" He chuckled, humming as he exited the room, shouts of complaints following him. In his opinion though, the best one by far was the "THIS IS PAIN" that was screamed by Michi. Blake laughed, screaming "WE'RE USING IT FOR OUR OUTRO," before exiting the door.

Ram burst out into laughter, Willow following shortly behind. Soon enough, the group was all dying of laughter, the homey vibes filling the room and removing the leftover tension in the room.

"I hate you all" Michi breathes out, still laughing a bit. "But please, let's get back to work. Blake and Arctic will kick our asses if this is late"

That's when Apolo realized. The podcast topics weren't what made the podcast seem like Home. It was the people, the dynamic that everyone shared. That was the true Home, and she loved every bit of it.

Maybe she'll stay for a while.

This one's cute in my opinion, but then again I do listen to people's opinions so if you don't mind commenting, and I'll see you in the next one.
