Mel opens the door as I go to open it.

"Oh, sorry." She laughs and walks out. "Are you going on tonight?" She asks as we walk in.

"Yeah, Ginna's sick." She nods and walks off as I walk into the room, Ben trailing behind me.

"Close your eyes." I tell Ben, grabbing my first costume off the rack. He rolls his eyes but closes them like I asked.

I quickly change before pulling him over to my table to put my hair in the wig cap and wig. I finish somewhat quickly and start on the stage makeup, Ben on his phone with his foot touching mine. I pause to pull the wig on and continue the stage makeup as Mel walks in.

I finish with about ten minutes until the top of the show so Ben and I walk down to the green room.

"Josh, do we have to be touching during intermission? That'll be hard because we have to change and change our shoes and stuff." I say as Ben and I join him on the couch.

"I guess it's okay," Josh over exaggerates and I roll my eyes.

"Okay Josh." Everyone in the room laughs and the lights flicker for the places call. We get up from the couch and walk to the stage.

After the show Ben finds me backstage and we start walking to our dressing rooms.

"Where are you going? I'm changing first." He asks as I turn to go to my dressing room.

"You changed first last time, it's only fair that I get to change first this time."

He rolls his eyes but follows me into the dressing room. I quickly change and follow Ben into his dressing room. Zach was walking out as we walked in.

"Are you guys doing stage door?" He asks, pausing in the doorway as Ben sets his hat on the table next to his cigar.

"No." Ben answers and I sigh.

"Apparently not." Zach smiles slightly and closes the door behind him as Ben starts to change. I ignore him, playing games on my phone until he kicks me slightly and I look up.

"What?"

"I'm done."

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"You're a bitch."

"And you're an asshole."

"Let's go." I roll my eyes but grab my bag and follow him out of the room, holding his hand.

"We should get food." I say as we pass a diner with Josh and Mel.

"I'm down," Mel says and Josh shrugs.

"I'd rather shower." Ben says and I roll my eyes before pulling him across the street with the other two.

We sit down as a waitress sets menus down on the table. I decide to get a burger with fries and set my menu down, glancing around the restaurant.

"What are you getting?" Josh asks, glancing up at me.

"Burger and fries."

"I might get that, I'm not sure."

"Are you guys ready to order?" The waiter asks and everyone but Josh nods.

"Just come to me last," he says to the waiter who nods and looks at me.

"Can I get a cheeseburger and fries?"

"Mhm, and what would you like to drink?"

"Do you have tea by any chance?"
