3 DATES AND A COURTNEY [SHARTNEY]

0:00 the intro

[author's note.] really quick just to avoid any confusion, i just want to say that the italicized parts are written as if it's the video itself; so how it was edited and how the audience sees it. while texts written normally are events that happen outside of the video--whether it's a flashback or happening in present time--that'll help give more context behind the events seen in the vid. alright. that's pretty much it. i hope you enjoy reading ♡

ps just to stay true to current events, just imagine this takes place a few weeks (?) before courtney's 26th birthday celebration :)

A shot of Courtney stepping into the frame and taking a seat on the couch in the living room set up on the same set they'd use for Sandwich Artist and Bepordy videos is seen. The footage is obviously still a test shot with the way the camera unceremoniously zooms out and pans to better capture Courtney's face. After months of experimenting with her hair, she had settled on a platinum blonde color, having had it cut a bit shorter, and keeping it tucked behind her ears. She was dressed in her usual attire of ripped jeans, a crop top, and black boots. You can still hear the movements and voices of some of the crew setting up as Courtney shifts awkwardly in her seat and grimaces.

Someone behind the camera, who sounds awfully like Tommy, seems to notice Courtney's anxiousness, and we hear them ask, "Courtney, are you alright?" A light chuckle escapes him but the concern in his voice sounds very much sincere.

Courtney bursts into laughter, getting more shy at having been read so easily, and curls into herself before exclaiming "I'm so f[beep]ing nervous right noooooow!"

Several of the crew join her in laughing while the voice of Olivia is heard cutting in to say, "It's okay, babe. You're doing great!"

Courtney is seen animatedly cringing again and exhaling one of her signature 'hoo's while the different crewmates and cast cheer her on supportively from behind the camera.

The scene cuts and the next thing we see in the video is Tommy and Olivia sitting on opposite ends of the couch Courtney was previously occupying with a laptop, which had Rhett's face conveniently stuck over the logo, placed on the table in front of them.

"Hello!"

"Hi"

Tommy and Olivia greet cheerfully one after the other before chuckling at how rehearsed they sounded.

"Okay! Guys!" Olivia picks it up again, sounding very energetic thanks to the cup of coffee she just had. "So we'll be doing something a little different for this video-"

"Yeah, just a little." Tommy adds, sarcastically.

"-and since you clicked on this video and obviously saw the title, I think you already have a bit of an idea of what will be happening."

"Aaaand that's right. Today, Olivia and I will be dipping our toes into the field of matchmaking."

"Yes! Just saying! I'm a huuuge fan of, like, the bachelor or the bachelorette, so like, I'm really excited about this." Olivia declares, rubbing her hands together and smiling maniacally.

"So, Olivia, do you have any experience in matchmaking? Or is it strictly just reality tv?" Tommy asks, chuckling at the eagerness emanating from his co-host..

"Well, no, I've actually set up a couple of my friends before!"

"And was it successful?"
