"CLARA BOW," Rain pulled Clara Bow right up and off her bed eagerly. Minnie was stood in the doorway, purse slung over her shoulder and hugging her hip. "Get your cute little butt up, we're going to dinner," Rain pulled the teddy bear that was secure under Clara Bow's arm away, the decades old toy flopping to the side before she was grabbing Clara's hands. It was barely an effort to get the girl up, she never fought them on it, but it was an effort to get her to her feet.

Even once she was on her feet, Rain wasn't backing down. She just gave Clara a smile one straight from the Joker before dropping her hands.

"I'm not hungry," Clara Bow tried protesting, already slipping her shoes on as Minnie dropped them down at her feet.

"Too bad," Rain turned her towards the door, pushing her towards Minnie gently before grabbing Clara Bow's sweater on the end of the bed. "Food's essential, therefore, we're getting food."

"Did Brynn call you guys?" Clara Bow started to turn back towards Rain before she was getting spun around once again. "Because seriously, you guys don't need to believe her. You don't even know her. And besides, I already ate today."

"Chocolate doesn't count," Minnie offered.

Clara Bow groaned helplessly as the two girls refused to listen, ushering her out of the hotel room and towards their destination.

The hotel room clicked shut as the two girls dragged Clara Bow away, helping her put on her zip up hoodie she had always worn; the holes near the zipper's threatening to rip open and expose her to the chilly spring air. Rain's babbling had continued as the elevator door's dinged in front of them, Minnie locking arms with Clara Bow to keep her on track while they explained their night.

Clara Bow just listened as Rain went on about Sean annoying her on set all day for their scenes. She hadn't picked up on much of it, she was just watching her hands fly around as she explained the horrors of her day.

"Has she been doing this the whole time?" Clara Bow whispered to Minnie as the elevator opened up again, revealing the quaint lobby of the Inn they were staying at.

All Minnie gave her in response was a nod and a small smile that had shown she was just as tired hearing about it as Clara was. Only she'd been hearing about it for hours.

"All day," Minnie whispered back.

"Jesus Christ, took you guys long enough."

Clara looked back into the lobby when they left the elevator, the rest of the cast waiting for them while Sean was throwing his hands up impatiently.

"Reservation's in 10 minutes."

"Talk to sleepy head over there," Rain pointed over her shoulder towards Clara as Clara gave the rest of them a short smile, slightly embarrassed that they had been waiting on her the whole time. Not that she even knew about these plans in the first place. "Let's go!" She waved everyone on as Sean and David followed, pushing each other through the doors before Rain was yelling at them.

"Believe me, bringing them was not the original plan," Chris had uttered while he waited for the two girls by the door.

"Least they can keep themselves entertained," Clara joked softly, earning a scoff from Chris while he held the door open for them.
