We're Just Faking... Right?

Part 1

Director: And cut! That's a wrap for today!

Nini: God I'm gonna have to start wearing the pregnancy belly soon *groans*
Ricky: *laughs obnoxiously* sucks to be you
Nini: Oh shut up, you get to act wasted once again. But that really isn't too difficult for you
Ricky: woahhhhh wowwww
Nini: Now what is this meeting about?
Ricky: aren't they announcing the movie to the public tomorrow or something. That's tomorrow, right?
Nini: I think so, but what does that have to do with us?
Ricky: probably just gonna be like "you can post about it now" or something I don't know
Nini: I think I'll just post the pic the picture of you falling off the stairs and say "hey we're in a movie together!"
Ricky: wait no that's so embarrassing *laughs*
Nini: I'm gonna do it
Ricky: then I'll post the video of you getting saved by a lifeguard when you got caught in that riptide
Nini: I literally look like a dying fish!
Ricky: it's absolutely hilarious
Nini: Yes, because my almost drowning will send all of your fans into fits of laughter *rolls eyes*
Ricky: yep *winks and laughs*
Nini: *I smack your arm and laugh* Come on, we have a meeting to attend
Ricky: then what are you waiting for?! *laughs and starts walking*
*we walk in*
Nini: Jenn? Mazza- why are our managers here?
Ricky: *I shrug my shoulders* what's going on guys?
Jenn: Come sit and we'll explain what's going on
Nini: *I sit down* I feel like I'm in trouble for some reason
Ricky: *I sit next to you* Is everything okay?
Jenn: Well, the announcement of the movie happens tomorrow
Ricky: we know, but what does that mean for us?
Jenn: Mazzara and I both talked to the marketing team and um...
Mazzara: What she's trying to say is for publicity, we want you two to have a staged relationship until the movie is in theaters and out for a while
Ricky: Nini and I?
Mazzara: Yep, you and Nini
Ricky: Nini has a boyfriend
Jenn: Nini also has always kept this boyfriend a secret and no one knows about him
Nini: But I'm still dating some-
Mazzara: Do you guys want this movie to do well?
Ricky: of course we do
Jenn: Then we've come to the conclusion that this is the best way to draw in viewers and bring more attention to the movie. All you guys have to do is sign these contracts and we'll be all good to go
Ricky: *I take the paper and sign it* it'll be fun
Nini: Woah woah woah, I haven't agreed to anything yet
Ricky: it's just for awhile
Nini: But I still have a boyfriend
Ricky: Jake's cool. He'll understand
Nini: I don't know...
Ricky: it's not like they're gonna make us kiss for people. Maybe just occasional "dates" which we kinda do already. *to Jenn* right?
Jenn: Who's gonna believe you're a couple if there's no PDA involved? *laughs*
Ricky: *to Nini* nevermind *laughs a little*
Nini: And this is just for until the movie comes out?
Jenn: yeah just to get people more interested.
Nini: *sighs* Fine, I'll do it
Jenn: *I hand the paper to you* thank you guys. You won't regret it
Nini: *I finish signing everything* I can't believe we actually have to do this
Mazzara: Nini-*gets a call* oh I've got to take this. We'll see you two later
Jenn: I'm headed to dinner with the producer. We've got to talk through a few things just for- well nevermind. Don't stress Nini. I'm sure if you talk to Jake he'll understand he's a good guy
Nini: Yeah whatever, just go enjoy your dinner
Jenn: I'll see you tomorrow *we walk out*
Ricky: don't let this stress you out Neens
Nini: I am stressed out! I didn't accept this role thinking I would have to end up dating someone for publicity!
Ricky: at least it's me and not some rando. Besides I'm a pretty good catch *laughs*
Nini: *I glare at you*
Ricky: what?
Nini: Not the time
Ricky: do you want me to talk to Jake?
Nini: I don't think there is any good way to break the news to him
Ricky: do you think he's gonna be super against it?
Nini: I don't think he's gonna like it
Ricky: it'll be okay
Nini: Fine, do whatever you want. I need to go get some fresh air, I'll see you tomorrow *I start to get up*
Ricky: hey wait, what's going on? Are you okay?
Nini: I'm Fine, I'm just gonna go since we're all done for the day anyways. Talk to Jake if you feel like or otherwise I can just do it myself *I walk out of the room*
Ricky: *I follow you* if you don't want me to tell him I won't. If it's something you feel like should come from you I totally understand
Nini: I said you can tell him!
Ricky: *stays quiet a second* I'll see you tomorrow Neens
