*based on an actual mountain dew commercial from 2006*

"He'll come crashing through that window onto the table and I'll need you to let out a scream. Really sell it."

I nodded at the director and he held his thumbs up, walking across the cabin set, and behind the camera.

The commercial we were shooting wasn't that fantastic, and I'd only be in it for a couple of seconds but it would be long enough for people to see and notice me.

I'd been paired up with this other girl called Mila, and she was super sweet. The only problem being was that she had more lines than me, and therefor she'd be the one gaining the most attention.

"Okay... action!"

A stunt double landed on the table in front of us and we both let out a scream. Mine was, of course, louder than Mila's and I think the director appreciated that.

"Cut! Great job ladies!" He grinned, grabbing us both by the shoulder, "Now, do you remember your lines?"

"Absolutely." I smiled.

My sweetness was sickening. I'd have to get used to being a suck up.

The director rubbed his hands together and pointed over to a guy who was waiting patiently off set. His stunt double shifted out of the way on the table to make way for him.

"Elton, yeah take a lie down there buddy," The director gestured toward the table, "You obviously don't have to do much. Just look after that bottle in your hand."

"Easy." He grinned, getting comfy on the table.

"Alright ladies, let's do this! 1...2...3... Action!" The director gestured for us to begin and I pushed my hair out of my face with one hand and held my marshmallow stick in the other.

"Hey." I smiled at Elton, tilting my head to the side slightly.

There was a quick cut and Elton was rushed off set and was replaced with his stunt double again. The table collapsed and 'he' rolled off of it, cueing Mila's line.

"Call me!" She smiled, looking after him.

I can promise you, that extra word will make all the difference.

"Cut, cut, cut! Absolutely beautiful work ladies." The director applauded and as did the rest of the crew.

I heard loud whistling and my eyes shot past the crew and I felt my heart skip a beat.

Next to Kris and Steve-O, Bam and Ryan stood clapping and hollering at me and I felt heat travel to my cheeks.

I couldn't stop smiling. All I wanted to do was go over there and hug them.
