"Delphi. Marigold. Reynolds." Tom says firmly as he watches the TikTok, turning and glaring at me once it was over.

"One more time, I think I blinked." Andrew lies, stifling a laugh.

Ellen grins and replays it as Tom punches Andrew in the arm.

"I've seen the actual video a thousand times, but there's just something about this edit.." I laugh. "It's just...Picasso."

Ellen replays the TikTok one more time before turning off the screen, the audience's cheers dying down.

"Tom is the only one embarrassed by that video, I rocked the Bruno Mars look." Zendaya says confidently, Ellen laughing as we all nod in agreement. "Bruno Mars actually dm'd me a few days after that and told me I did a good job, so I have no shame."

"He did?" Tom, Tobey, Jacob, Andrew, and I all ask simultaneously, all pausing and looking at each other suspiciously.

"That was creepy, but yeah." Zendaya nods. "I posted it on my Instagram story, and he replied to it and said 'I thought this was me for a second.' With a fire emoji." She nods again.

"That's sick." I grin. "I love Bruno Mars, his music is so chef's kiss."

"Next question is one from several fans, and they asked what the funniest thing that happened on set was?" Ellen reads the card.

"Throughout all of filming, we had this ongoing prank war between all of us." Tobey says with a grin.

"Every chance we got, sabotage." Jacob adds.

"I remember this one time- and I'm revealing this was me for the first time ever here- I dyed Tom's web things hot pink, so whenever he tried to shoot them, the part that shoots out and gets edited into spiderwebs would come out hot pink."

"THAT WAS YOU?" Tom shouts, turning and looking at me.

"Yeah, and it was payback for the 11 whoopee cushions that I found across my trailer. AFTER I SAT ON ALL OF THEM!" I shout back with a laugh.

"That wasn't Tom, that was me." Jacob laughs.

"DUDE!" I laugh as well.

"Well if we're on the subject of admitting our crimes, I'm the one that switched the spidermen's suits out every day." Zendaya grins.

"You're so annoying for that." Tobey tells her with a chuckle. "And it was different every day, so we had to walk across the parking lot to each other's trailer every morning to figure out who had who's suits."

"So annoying." Andrew agrees. "Almost as annoying as me putting itch powder in all of Zendaya's outfits."

"I KNEW THAT WAS YOU!" Zendaya shouts back at him, all of us laughing. "We had to wash those clothes 3 times!"

"Sounds like you guys had some rivalry's on set." Ellen chuckles. "Any alliances formed?"

"I think Zendaya and I had this kind of unspoken alliance, Y'know, the girls stuck together." I nod, Zendaya chuckling before nodding with me.

"So that leads me into our next question, who's closest to who?" Ellen asks.

"Well Tom and Zendaya are usually the closest, since their dating, but other than them, us Spidermen are." Tobey answers.

"I think the duos we came out here in were kind of the usual dynamic, but a lot of the time it was Jacob, Delphi, and I since Spidermen were always doing stuff together and getting fitted for suits." Zendaya adds.

"But also me and Zendaya, cause Delphi was with the Spidermen for combat training a lot as well." Jacob comments.

"I'm the kid, I get along with all of them." I shrug.

"We're all very close friends, and we all love each other regardless of the dynamic duos, trios, and squads." Andrew summarizes.

"Well that was pretty much our last question, so why don't we talk upcoming and future projects." Ellen suggests. "So Delphi, Percy Jackson."

"Oh my gods, yes, I know, I'm so excited." I immediately reply, sitting forward a bit. "I love Percy Jackson so much, the whole universe, it's my whole personality sometimes and to be cast as Annabeth, especially with Aryan as Grover, Walker as Percy, Dior as Clarrise, and Charlie as Luke, I'm blessed, super excited, and infinitely grateful."

Ellen nods along as I ramble on. "That sounds super exciting! So you're a huge fan of the books?"

"One of the biggest, I swear." I nod. "Percy Jackson, Heros of Olympus, all the spin-offs and other series by Rick Riordan. Read and loved them all. Pretty much half of my friend group are Percy Jackson nerds right along with me, but I think I definitely take the title."

"Well you're repping it right now, so yeah, I'm pretty sure you do." Jacob chuckles, tapping the top of my hat.

"When is she not repping it?" Andrew laughs. "Either wearing merch or talking about it nonstop."

"Can y'all stop exposing me?" I laugh, shaking my head, amused.

We all continue talking about both mine and the rest of the cast's future projects, whether they have some or not, before Ellen wraps up the interview and we say goodbye before leaving.

(I deeply apologize for the next part)

As soon as I get home, I notice several missed calls and texts from Momona, along with a few from Danny.

I immediately call Momona back, her screen black when she answers.

"Mo?" I call out tentatively as I gently kick my bedroom door shut behind me, setting my volleyball bag that I'd finally brought in from the car down on my floor. "You okay?"

"Did you not read the texts?" Mo asks, her voice quiet, too quiet to where I couldn't hear the emotion hiding in it.

"I just got home, I'm sorry I didn't answer earlier." I apologize. "Give me a minute, I'll read the texts and change real quick, then I'll call you right back."

"Ok" She replies shortly before hanging up, my eyebrows furrowing.

I decide to quickly text Kenna, who I assume would know what's going on. She's my best shot.

What happened with Mo?
