I walk on to set later that day as Dacre is finishing up a scene. I watch him perform, impressed with how well he can pull off such a layered character. As he finishes, he walks over to me.

"You're amazing Dacre," I say, shaking my head in disbelief.

He smiles at me.

"Thanks Charlee, are you going on next?" He asks me.

I nod.

"Yeah, with Joe and Maya," I say.

Dacres eyes look away momentarily at the mention of Joe, when he looks back at me his face looks somber.

"Are we good?" He asks me.

"What?" I ask him.

"From last night... About what I said," Dacre says nervously.

"Oh! Yeah of course. I still want to be friends... If you do," I tell him.

He pulls me in for a hug and then let's go.

"Of course I still want to be friends. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, I knew how you felt about Joe," He says.

"Maybe more people should be honest with their feelings," I say.

Dacre looks behind me, and then looks back at me.

"I better go," He says, then walks away.

When I look behind me, I see Joe walking over.

"What was that about?" He asks me.

I shake my head.

"Nothing, don't worry," I tell him, not really wanting to go into Dacre professing his feelings for me with Joe right now.

"Right," Joe says.

I can tell he's bothered by my answer.

"Ready for our scene?" I ask him.

Joe laughs and shakes his head.

"Not looking forward to arguing with you in it," He says softly, smiling at me.

I smile back at him, and Maya walks over to us. I give her a big cuddle as I say hello.

"How are you kids doing?" She asks us with a smirk.

I give her a playful push.

"Kids? You're younger than us," Joe tells her laughing.

"Only physically. Mentally, I'm much more mature than either of you," Maya says, lifting her head up a little.

"What does that mean?" Joe asks.

"Places guys!" Shawn yells out.

Maya only laughs at Joes question and runs onto the set.

"What does she mean?" Joe asks me.

"I don't know," I say, shaking my head and laughing as I walk over to my place.

"Okay, Action!" Shawn yells.

Steve puts a trap down and stands up, looking around proudly.

"Don't put it there! There is no way the creatures will even go there," I say to him.

"I think that I would know where they would go better than you," Steve says, rolling his eyes and huffing.

"Yeah well, I think I would know logic better than you. That's a stupid place to put it," I say.

Steve winces at my choice of words.

"Stupid?" He says.

"I don't mean it like that! Just, put it near a doorway or window," I tell him.
