Everyone looked confused and shocked at me and then back at the movie. I was also pretty confused.
"I-I don't know" I stuttered. I was so shocked and in a loss off words. I just kept staring at the final credit. It was true, my name was right there, in big bold letters. Everyone kept asking my questions like how was it and whz didn't I tell them.

I explained that I can't remember this and called my mom. I was so eager to get the answers from her, but first off all she had to pick up her phone. Due to the time off the night, I thought that she was already asleep and that she wouldn't pick up, but to my surpise she picked up.

"Hello, sweetie", my mom's warm voice greeting me. "I thought you are at the movie night at Ivy's place? Is everything alright dear?" she asked concerned.
"Hi mom, yes everything is fine. I or better to say we have a question for you" I reassured her. "I know this is a bit out off the blue, but do know why my name was in the final credits of the Avengers movie that came out in 2012?" I asked still shocked about the fact.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and then her mom let out a soft sigh. "Izzy, it's time you hear the whole story. You see, you were just a little kid back then, barely six years old, and we were visiting the movie set. You played a small minor role, as Tony Stark's daughter in one of the scenes."

My eyes widened in astonishment. "I was in the Avengers movie? For real? How come I can't remember or you ever talkt to me about that"

My mom chuckled, a hint of nostalgia in her voice. "I didn't wanted to make a big deal out of it. You were just an innocent little girl back then and I wanted to you to make your own path. All I wanted for you was to grow up normally and not under the pressure of the movie industry or social media. For me the most important thing was for you to follow your dreams and passions."

I was so stunned by that that I stayed quiet for a few moments. I didn't think something like that would have ever happen to me in my entire life. I still can't believe it, I, as a little girl was part of one of the most iconic movies in history. A mixed feeling of pride and excitement floated through my body, sending warm shivers over my spine.

"Mom can you tell me more about it? And how do I even got the role?" I asked curiously.
My mom's voice soften as she recalled the past. "It was a magical experience. You ran off to the ice cream and straight into the arms of the marvel cast. You bonded to them quickly and after a few hours the casting director offered a role. At first I refused, but when we both talked about this you were so excited and so it all began. In your early childhood from the age of six to eight we spend most of the time on set. I remember you being on set, surrounded by the incredible cast and the astonishing set design. You bonded quickly to everyone, especially to Tom Hiddleston. I remember you sitting on his lap fast asleep. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel like we were part of their big patchwork family."

As my mom continues to explain or share various memories or special moments with me, my mind drifted back in time. Faint memories of being on set and having a good time with all the cast members started to come back. I remembered the time playing with all the actors and how much fun I had back then.

"Sweetie, are-are you okay, are you still there?" My mom asked concerned. "Oh yeah mom, no worries, I'm still here. I just remembered sothing about the set" I stuttered.
