"And Cut! Everyone take 15!" the stage director yelled. The entire studio
started to burst with chatter the second that they were on break.

"Veneer!?" Velvet waved her hand in front of Veneer's face, snapping him
out of the trance he didn't even know he was in, "Yo, Bro! Snap out of it!
You were just staring off into space for like, the entire interview!"

"W- no I wasn't! I answered the questions!" Veneer snapped back.

"You only answered 3 questions! The guy asked like 23! And like everyone
noticed! Ugh! For the second half, please just don't stare off for the entire
time, and actually help me answer the question." Velvet rolled her eyes, and
before Veneer could respond, she had already walked to the snack table. Vaneer
let out a heavy sigh and set his face in his hands. He had embarrassed himself
and his sister on public television. Lately, he had been completely out of it.

"Hey, you good?" Veneer looked up, meeting the eyes of the mysterious voice.
There stood a concerned-looking guy with a giant purple hat. It took Veneer a
second to recognize him, he was the guy who had interviewed them earlier.

"WHA- Oh, it's just you. God, you scared me! Uhg you're Kid Ritz, right? What do
you want!" Veneer snapped. He felt sad whenever he treated people like this
because he knew deep down that he was a nice person, he just felt that he
needed to match his superstar persona in, and out of the public eye

"Woah there! No need to get all feisty! Yep, the one and only! but you can call me
Ritz. You were kinda like....out of it for most of the interview, I just wanted to
make sure you were okay. Your sister seemed to be getting really upset, I think
that's why we had to take a break."

"Oh god....." Veneer said under his breath, "Sorry, I guess I've just been under a
lot of pressure, with the lifetime award and all the performances. I'm fine
though, I think I just need to have more confidence in myself- wait you aren't
going to go on your show and be all like, 'VaNeER Has a SuCkY LiFe! LeT mE tell
YOU All About It!' right?" Veneer had realized that he had just opened up to a
random guy who happens to run a whole celebrity news channel, and he knew
that he couldn't handle any more embarrassment.

"Oh dude, I would never! This is personal shit, and you deserve to have your
personal stuff stay personal." Ritz looked at Veneer with soft, gentle, caring eyes.
Ones that Veneer had never seen his sister, or frankly anyone give him. These
gave him butterflies in his stomach, these made his cheeks turn a rosy pink, and
these made him ignore everything and everyone around him. He didn't even
notice that he was staring.

"Ha! Didn't know I could rizz up a popstar that easily, especially one as cute as
you," Ritz joked. Veneer felt his face turn a deeper shade of pink as he rolled his
eyes at the unfunny joke, although he started to question himself. He couldn't be
developing feelings that easily, after all, they had just met. He quickly shook the
thought out of his head and walked over to join Velvet at the snack table.
"Ugh! This is the worst caviar I've ever tasted! Who was that guy that you were
talking to, anyway" Velvet said as soon as he reached the table.
"Oh it was just the interviewing guy, he was just making sure I was okay, after
zoning out and all that."
"Did you see his outfit, Blobs are so last month!" Velvet said, completely ignoring
the fact that Veneer had been feeling down. Veneer just brushed it off and
grabbed a crumpet.
"Oh god you were right, ugh this tastes terrible!" veneer gave a disgusted face.
"Velvet! Veneer! We need you back on stage to film the second part!" the stage
manager called. Velvet rolled her eyes.

"Come on, let's get this over with." she groaned as she walked towards the stage.
Veneer quickly followed after her.
