CHAPTER TEN
BIG BACK
(real life)

okay so walker had completely ditched charlie's advice of not teasing her because after the last two compliments adriana had gotten totally bored of the boy.

she liked him because he was funny not because he was a boring, complimenting robot.

"tell her to get a white bow with the outfit," walker huffed as adriana stared at her outfit for her first scene of the second season. "i don't like this pink one."

"shut up and play with the prop." adriana pushed the boy out the room, slamming the wooden door in his face. she needed to be concentrated, the outfits were a big part of aurora's character.

"get a white bow!"

"get a white bow!"

"get a white bow!"

"get a white bow!" walker pounded on the door, annoyed that she had pushed him out but then after a minute the pounding stopped and the sound of something hitting the ground filled the air.

"rick! adriana broke the door knob!" and sure enough when adriana turned around to the door, she saw the door knob on her side on the ground, while walker held the other one.

"i did not!" adriana yelled, grabbing the other piece as she ran over to walker, pulling him back. "i will murder you."

rick riordan rushed into the room, his eyes darting between the broken door knob, walker, and adriana, who was now holding the other half of the knob and glaring at walker.

"what's going on here?" rick asked, clearly bewildered.

"i did not break the door knob," adriana insisted, pulling walker away from the door. "walker was pounding on it so hard that it came off."

walker, looking a bit embarrassed but still defiant, held up the other half of the knob. "i was just trying to make a point about the bow, and then... well, i didn't expect the knob to come off."

rick sighed, rubbing his temples. "it's always something with you too." he shook his head. "alright, we'll need to get this fixed. but first, let's sort out the outfit situation. adriana, let's see what you've got and we'll figure out what needs to be done."

"just a second," adriana walked away, going over to grab her outfit, leaving the two of them behind.

"this is not what i had in mind when i casted you two." rick spoke, crossing his arms as he looked down at the object in walker's hands.

"oops," walker shrugged with a sheepish grin.

"i cast you two because you have great chemistry, since the first day you saw each other." rick was there when they first met each other, he wanted to pick out their aurora and she needed to be able to match walker's energy. and when adriana walked through the door and both of their faces lit up that was all he needed to know, he found his percy and aurora. "not because you would turn the set into a circus."

"in my defense again," walker paused for a second, there was no excuse this time. "yeah i actually don't have an excuse right now, sorry."

adriana returned with the outfit, now adjusting it with a determined look. "i've got the dress. let's see if we can find a white bow," she glared at walker, who celebrated silently due to his win. "and get back on track."

rick nodded, grateful for adriana's willingness to push through despite the chaos. "good. let's figure out the bow situation, and then we'll get the door repaired. after that, i expect both of you to behave yourselves."

walker gave a mock salute. "understood. i promise to be on my best behavior."

adriana smirked, catching rick's eye. "and i'll make sure to keep him in check." she grinned before pulling walker by the ear with her, away from the man.

"ow, ow, ow, ow..."

"ah kids," rick shook his head as he watched adriana drag him away over to the wardrobe department. "god those two are insane."

just like he and becky were.

"can we go eat now?" rick heard walker whine once again. adriana would never get peace as long as he was there.

"shut up your back is big enough." she rolled her eyes as rick furrowed his brows, he didn't understand them half of the time.

"did you just call me a big back?" walker gasped as he placed a hand over his heart and stopped in his tracks.

"yes you're fat now go," adriana grabbed his hand and forced him to walk with her.

rick decided it was time he goes back to his own wife and headed back towards the snacks where his lover was. "hey becky do you know what a big back is?"

"what?" becky looked up at him as she took a bite out of a chocolate chip cookie. "i have no idea what you just said to me."
