Ghost

In the Studio

AN: Guess who is back to posting this? Me. I am. So I was extremely busy with work and didn't have time to write. And then I went to France to see our babies. Also for anyone that doesn't know, it was me who gave Charlie the Scooby onesie he wore in the Christmas live where he read to us. Anyway, this is a more chill chapter. The next chapter is full of hilarity as Mads goes camping with the Gillespie 5. Enjoy!

Acadian slang in this chapter-

Tcheu dose! = What a dick!

"I told you about what not to do. And you just didn't listen," Ricardo ranted over the phone to Madison and Charlie as they drove to Red Lyon Productions.

Madison rolled her eyes as they were subjected to Ricardo's frustration. "Dad I didn't even know that Charlie was taking the photo."

"That's not the point," Ricardo said over the phone, his voice reverberating in the car. Ghost grumbled in Madison's lap as he snuggled into her more in his sleep. Her father's loud voice was going to wake him up. "Charlie posted the photo and now there are all these comments from these perverts."

Madison sighed. "It is no different than all those desperate girls and women who thirst over Charlie every time he posts a selfie."

Charlie looked at her, offended. "Hey! It's not like I invite that attention. They are thirsty like that."

Madison huffed. "Well I was dressed appropriately for the beach. I am not trying to get random people's attention."

"It's the internet. People are always putting their nose in things. Something like this will have freaks coming out the woodworks to harass you. Not to mention, there are even more eyes on you and Charlie. Which I know you two don't like."

Madison pursed her lips as she let that sink in. The comments questioning the nature of their relationship had more than tripled. Even though Charlie took the post down, it was still circulating within the fandom. It made her uncomfortable. She didn't like having to explain herself.

To Madison's relief she saw the building that housed Michael's production company. "Oh look. We're at the studio now. Got to go. Bye," Madison said quickly and pressed the end button on her phone. Charlie looked between her and the phone in her hand.

"Ric's not going to like that you hung up on him."

Madison rolled her eyes. "He'll get over it."

Madison practically skipped down the hall to the recording room where Michael was setting up. "You are so adorable," Charlie commented as Ghost walked between them.

"That's why you keep me around," Madison replied cheekily and she moved gracefully down the carpeted hallway. "Can't wait to see what Mikey has in store for us."

Charlie laughed. "Since you are coming, he'll pull out all the stops since you are his baby sister."

Madison beamed. "That's what I like to hear."

Charlie shook his head as they walked into the studio where Michael was. "Madison," he said happily.

Madison smiled and skipped over to hug the middle of the Gillespie siblings. "Hi, Mikey." Michael kissed the top of her head.

"Hey! What about me," Charlie whined with his famous puppy pout.

Michael looked over at his baby brother. "Eh. It's good to see you too, I guess."

Charlie scoffed. "Rude!" Ghost barked at Madison and Michael's feet.

"Happy to see you, too, boy." Michael rubbed Ghost's head. The Jack Russell Terrier leaned into the hand.
