As Indiana and Gabriel stepped out of their car at the pre-production press conference, they were greeted by lots of fans and cameras flashing. They said a small hi to all the fans but kept walking.
Once they were in the building, they found Craig Mazin, and he took them into a room with some of the other major cast members. When Indiana saw Pedro, she stared in awe. She couldn't believe she was going to meet him.
Indiana followed Gabriel as he greeted everyone, saying small hellos to all of them. When they finally got to Pedro, her heart dropped.
Pedro spoke first, "Gabriel! Hi!" He said as he hugged Gabriel.
When they pulled away, Gabriel responded, "Hey Pedro! How's it going?"
"Good, really good! I am so excited for this!" Pedro glanced at Indiana and smiled.
When Gabriel noticed Pedro looking at Indiana, he introduced them. "Oh, this is my daughter, Indiana."
"It's nice to meet you, Indiana. Beautiful name!" Pedro told her, holding out his hand for her to shake.
She shook his hand and spoke, "Thanks! I loved you in The Mandalorian. And please, just call me Ana."
"Okay, Ana. Are you a fan of the game?" He asked her.
"Oh my god yes. I love it! Have you played it?" She answered with a smile.
"That's awesome. I've never actually played it, my nephews have, but not me." He told her, smiling back at her.
"Oh, cool." Indiana bit her lip, trying to keep her smiles in, but it didn't really work because she was so excited to be meeting Pedro.
She stood next to her dad as he and Pedro kept talking, she couldn't take her gaze off of him. That was until Neil and Craig got everyone's attention.
"Okay guys, we hope you are all ready because we have to be out there in a few. These two men in the black will show you the way." Neil told everyone, giving them all thumbs up as they started to make their way out of the room.
"We should get going. It was nice meeting you, Ana!" Pedro smiled at her as he and Gabriel followed the others out of the room.

Indiana sat in a chair in front of the stage. She had the choice of sitting in the room they were in before, or sitting in front of the stage. She chose to sit in front of the stage because she wanted to watch the conference.
More people in all black were walking around the audience, holding microphones for fans to ask questions. They asked questions about the show, and Neil or Craig would answer them. There were also fans asking the cast members questions.
"Pedro, Bella, have either of you played the game?"
Bella answered first, "No." They smiled, then looked at Pedro.
He leaned into his mic and spoke, "I haven't. But I have watched some videos of others playing it on YouTube." Pedro answered the question.
One person in the audience stood up and spoke into the microphone being held in front of him. "Gabriel, your daughter Indiana is a big fan of the game, yes?" He asked, making Indiana sit up in her chair, surprised to hear her name.
"Yes, she is," Gabriel answered him.
"Was she excited when she found out you got the role in the show?" He finished his question.
"Yes, she was very excited. But she may have been more excited about me working with Pedro Pascal, because of her love for The Mandalorian." Gabriel laughed, making eye contact with Indiana, who was very embarrassed and smiled.
Indiana glances at Pedro to see him laughing, he looks at her in the audience and winks.

Indiana sat in the passenger seat of the car next to Gabriel who was driving. They were both silent, listening to the music playing on the radio until it got to an ad and Gabriel turned it down.
"Ana, what's wrong?" He asked her.
"Nothing." She said, but he could tell something was wrong so he asked again.
"What is it, kid?"
Indiana sat up in her seat, "Why would you say that at the conference? You embarrassed me." She said to him with a frustrated tone.
"Say what? The thing about The Mandalorian? I mean, I didn't think it would bother you. Everyone knows that you love The Mandalorian." He told her.
She thought about what to say, but she didn't want to embarrass herself anymore, so she sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm just tired." She said to him.
"It's okay. We are almost home." He told her, putting his hand on her knee to comfort her.
Indiana turned the sound back up, then leaned her head on the window and closed her eyes.
