You and Billie along with Claudia, Finneas and your two twins, both on you and Billie's laps wait as the presenter announces the nominees for your category.
"Winner for best broadway show goes to..."
Flashback to how everything started
It all started back when you were in your hometown up north. You had a dead end job and thinking that you would never leave but then all of that changed when a job opportunity became available to you. Your older brother, Wataru, was currently living in LA working as a producer. You had plenty of PTO so you decided to go visit him. Wataru had just came back from filming the live action movie of Moana in Tahiti. While he was there he started dating miss Moana herself.
"Hey, Yn!"
Auli'i greets you at the airport drop off. She helps you get your things into your brothers car. Due to being one of the executive producers on the movie he was unable to pick you up.
(Side note: Wataru originally rejected the job offer but once he found out that Auli'i was part of it he couldn't say no.)
"Was my brother busy?"
"Oh yeahhh! We're on crunch time getting the movie out."
"I see."
"I heard from Wataru that you're a lifeguard and scuba certified."
"Yup. I work part time as a lifeguard during the summer time."
"Cool! Cool! Do you wanna quick stop by a beach or do you want to go straight to our place?"
"Uhhh... it would be nice to go to the beach. Soak in that warm sunshine. Wataru didn't tell me y'all were living together?"
"Oh, yeah. I thought I would give it a go."
A couple minutes later you arrive at the beach. You grab your duffle bag and get your Keens out along with your sunglasses.
As you and Auli'i walk into the water you hear someone yelling.
"SHARKIE-SHARK, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU??!!"
Low and be hold you turn to see miss Billie Eilish calling out into the water for her dog. As you squint your eyes you start to see something black in the water.
"Oh shit! Li'i can you hold my shit?"
You take off your sunglasses and sprint into the water. Luckily you didn't have anything in pockets but you were going to be drenched head to toe but not that you would mind.
Growing up you were a high school national swimmer so you were able to get to Shark just in time and get him to safety.
As you carry Shark out both Billie and Auli'i sprint over to you.
You gently lay Shark down on the sand. Exhausted from being jet lagged you black out.
"Aw shit!"
Is the last thing you can hear.
When you wake up you are in the hospital hooked up to an IV bag. Shark has his head rested on your body.
"W-what happened?"
"You passed out after you saved Billie's dog, Shark."
Your brother is sitting in a chair next to you.
"Oh. You all done with work?"
"Yup! Now I get hang with you."
Shark lifts his head up and lets out a small whimper.
"Hey! Hey! I'm okay buddy."
You try to reassure him as you pet his head.
"What do you mean you're quitting?"
You look to see Billie on the phone. She seems to be stressed out about something.
Once she gets off the phone she turns to you.
"Thank you so much for saving my dog! If there's anything I can do for you just name it."
"Uhhh... maybe a picture?"
Wataru just shakes his head while laughing.
"No?"
"Hey, considered it done."
Wataru takes the picture of the both of you and then hands back your phone.
A nurse comes back in to release you.
As the three of you along with Shark get onto the elevator you turn to Billie.
"Sooo... I know it's none of my business but what was that phone call all about?"
"Oh... heh, nothing just that my dog sitter just quit on me so I'm trying to figure out where to find a new one."
"I know we've only just met but I would LOVE look after this cutie patootie."
You crouch down to Sharks level and pat his head.
"For real? That would help me out a whole lot."
The two of you exchange contact info and wave Billie off as she gets into her car.
"Yooo! I can't believe that just fucking happened!"
"Me too! But what're you going to do about work?"
"Man FUCK that place!"
You roll your eyes as you get into the car. Billie had an errand to do so Shark is currently with you and your brother.
The two of you arrive back at Wataru and Auli'i's house.
"Ohhhh! This place is noiiice!"
You look around the mansion that's worth a few mil.
"Glad you like it!
Wataru plops down into the couch. You go to take Shark outside to get some fresh air in the big backyard.
"How you doing?"
Aulii takes a seat beside you on their outdoor couch.
"Good! Just tired."
"Sorry I had to leave. I had to go to an audition last minute."
"That's okay."
"I heard you got the news from Wataru. What are you going to do?"
"Wataru said the same thing. I already quit. I call them up and my stuff is on its way here."
"Damn, you work fast!"
"Yeah!"
Shark finishes up exploring outside and follows both you and Auli'i back inside the house. As you and Shark go into the home theater you get a message from Billie saying that she would be late picking up her dog. Shark cuddles up in your lap as you started up the big screen and watch Miss Hokusai (animated movie about the artist that made the famous Japanese painting, The Great Wave off of Kanagawa).
You are woken up by someone shaking you up.
"Wuzz up?"
You say in a groggy voice while rubbing the sleep from your eyes. You stare at a pair of blue mesmerizing eyes.
"Auli'i let me in and told me that I could find you in here."
"Oh yeah. Between the jet lag and nearly drowning by saving your dog, I was pretty pooped."
"Hey, thanks again for doing that!"
"No problem!"
You stand up and stretch your arms out. Before Billie leaves she turns to you.
"Hey, I would love to get together with you some time and get to know you."
"Absolutely!"
And with that Billie leaves.
