"Agent Smith, it's too dangerous! We must evacuate!"
"You're suggesting we run, Officer Jones? After it devoured my family, my friends, even my beloved dog, Sniffles? Never! I won't run! I no longer fear it, I'm going to face it, then I'll-Waaaaah!"
"Cut!" Nino yells as Mylène was hiding under the teacher's desk, looking scared.
Ivan takes off the monster mask that he was wearing, "Sorry, Mylène."
"Mylène! That's like, the tenth take, and we're only on the first scene!" Nino told her.
Alix holds up a clapperboard, "Fourteenth actually. But who's counting?"
"Ughhh..." Nino twitches with stress.
"Nino, stay calm." Ryder says.
"I'm...sorry. I'm gonna do better on the next take, I-I promise!" Mylène told him, looking around the room at everyone.
The boy shakes his head as he taps his fingers against the desk.
"Anyone want some tea?" Rose asks, holding up the drink.
"I'll take some!" Amber raises her hand.
"You're playing a hero from the special forces. You're not supposed to get all freaked out!" Nino told her.
"I know, but...that monster mask he's wearing is so...realistic and scary!" Mylène cowers near the desk.
"Just big ol' me, Mylène. Nothing to be scared of!" Ivan sticks his fingers through the mask's eye holes to puppeteer it.
"Ivan, go ahead and put the mask back on. And Mylène, we need you to stay in character, okay? If you need a break, we can compromise." Ryder reassures as Ivan puts the monster mask back on.
Mylène gets a frightened look on her face, "I need to sing my happy song, it always makes me feel better..." she starts to sing to herself, backing away as she does so, "Smelly wolf, smelly wolf, stinky breath and slimy-Ahh!" she yelps in fright as she backs up into Amber.
"It's just me, Mylène! It's okay!" the brunette reassures her.
Mylène shrugs Amber's hands off of her and runs out of the classroom, crying.
"Mylène!" Marinette calls out to her.
"Ivan, you know her better than the rest of us. Can you comfort her?" Ryder asks.
"Mylène, wait!" Ivan takes off his monster mask and runs out the door.
...
"What are we supposed to do now without our leading actress?" Nino asks.
"How much time do we have left?" Amber adds.
"The deadline for the Parisian Student Short Film Festival is tomorrow evening, precisely 26 hours, 15 minutes and 14, 13 seconds from now." Max calculates.
"Thank you, Max!" the brunette smiles.
"And we still have editing, post-sound, soundtrack..." Marinette starts to get stressed.
