It's 7 am in the morning, and we find ourselves on set, filming the movie series atla

Gordon is tasked with a crying scene, with Katara and Ian standing behind him, delivering their lines as Gordon's emotional moment approaches.

Amidst the serious scene, I hear Dallas silently laughing,

Growing irritated, I snap, "Stop laughing"

"What? Look at Ian, isn't he adorable?" Dallas remarks, pointing to Ian who is struggling to stifle his laughter.

My gaze shifts between Ian trying to hold back his laugh and Dallas making a funny face,

"Dallas, stop that," I assert, playfully punching his shoulder softly.

"Is that all you've got?" Dallas taunts, provoking me further.

"That's so offensive," I reply, this time punching his shoulder a bit harder.

"Ouch!" Dallas yelps in response to the stronger punch, drawing the attention of the producer and staff.

As the producer intervenes and cuts the scene due to Gordon's prolonged crying moment, Ian, Kia, and Gordon struggle to contain their laughter,

"Hey Dallas, it's your next scene. Be ready," the producer announced, prompting Dallas to prepare for his upcoming scene.

Ian offered words of encouragement, walking past Dallas and saying, "Good luck, bro," while giving his shoulder a reassuring pat.

As Dallas focused on filming his scene, Gordon and I took the opportunity to memorize our lines for the upcoming scene where I would comfort him with a hug.

"Okay, this is too much. Is Aang really this soft-hearted?" I questioned, as I stared on the script

"Isn't it obvious?" Gordon replied, sitting with me

Playfully, I remarked, "I would rather hug Aang in anime than Aang in person,"

Gordon chimed in, "I'd rather not hug Toph in anime and Toph in person,"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, as the producers called for us to begin filming we both stood up, Gordon unexpectedly slipped on the floor, prompting a familiar exclamation, "Gosh, Gordon slipped on the floor Part 2!"

"Care to help me?" Gordon requested,

"Meh, get up there. You're a strong kid. Remember, you can fight for yourself alone," I teased, preparing to leave him to recover on his own.

"But I'm not Aang," Gordon protested playfully.

"Then act like one," I retorted, offering my hands to help him up.

Grasping my hands, Gordon rose to his feet, teasingly commenting, "You're so rude."

"When it comes to you," I quipped in response, Together, we walked towards the producer, ready to receive instructions on our upcoming scenes

As the producer outlined our scene, he explained, "Okay, Gordon, all you need to do is sit on the chair while crying. [Name], all you need to do is stand up and comfort Gordon while he hugs your waist."

Feeling a bit surprised by the direction of the scene, I muttered to myself, Okay, this is more than I expected.

While the cameraman was adjusting the camera, Gordon approached me and hesitantly asked, "Hey, [Name], is it okay if I hug your waist? It might be uncomfortable for you."

Reassuring him, I replied, "No, it's okay for me. It's part of the scene, and there's nothing we can do about it."

With the preparations in place, we were signaled to take our positions as the producer announced, "Okay, now get into your places. Lights, camera, action!"

Gordon was crying in front of me, and the director instructed me to act like I didn't care but ultimately end up comforting him. As Gordon hesitated to hug me, I took a gentle approach and put my head on his head

With a reassuring gesture, I patted his back, silently communicating my support. Finally, Gordon mustered the courage to hug my waist, and in that moment, my heart raced with a mix of nerves and butterflies. The head-to-head was unplanned but the producer liked it anyways, And the director called "cut,"

"Girl, that was not on the script," Momona teased, wiggling her eyebrows. Sipping on a bottle of water, I casually remarked, "That was nothing,"

Next on the agenda was my scene requiring a fight with Dallas, which turned out to be a lengthy 30-minute

Exhausted from the continuous filming since 7 am and it's now 3pm, I headed to the dressing room, where I settled onto a sofa. The director informed us that my scene would be filmed once Gordon and Dallas's scene is done, but if it ran overtime, we would just film my scene with dallas tommorow

Feeling drained from the long day of shooting, I decided to take a much-needed nap,
