So American ~ W.S & L.S.J x Ocs

chapter 1 - the tunnel of Love

THIS WAS TORTURE.

The amount of built-up pure hatred Walker had for Noelle was very obvious. The same can be said about her, too. The media sometimes noticed, but it was never talked much about since they both avoided starring in the same movies together.

But this was a role they both wanted, badly. So when those two were cast as Percy and Erika, the hating part wasn't so hard to act upon, but the loving and the hugging parts? Gods, Walker, and Noelle wanted to throw up every time.

The other cast members and the people working on set tried at some point to mend her and his relationship, but none of them ever worked. Those two were lovers on screen, but rivals in real life.

Walker glared at Noelle slightly, it was time to film the 'Tunnel of Love' scene, it was an iconic part of the books, and fans would kill Rick if he didn't put that in the show.

So with no choice, Walker hoped in the boat with her, glaring daggers at her as she was talking to the cast crew.

Now, Noelle hated Walker herself. Which meant she had to force herself to sit still as the blue light would reflect on her, fighting the URGE to shove Walker in the water. But unfortunately, it was a one scene take. Which meant they only had this scene to perform perfectly.

Noelle discreetly lifted her middle finger up and flipped Walker off as she sat on the boat next to him.

Walker rolled his eyes as he flipped the girl off himself, discreetly, of course.

"Okay, and action!" The directors said as the person made a loud ass noise that that clip thing. Anyways, the two teenagers started acting, Walker began yapping his lines out, and Noelle began yapping her lines out. Blah, blah, blah.

The scene on the boat ended as quickly as it started. "You can't fall." Walker began teasing her between the takes.

Noelle tried to ignore him, but he kept on saying it until they had to jump off the boat.

Noelle jumped of the on her knees, unfortunately. Which hurt like SHITT, anyways, masking her hurt emotions in, the two continued saying their lines, The directors were really trying to make Noelle cry over here. Literally.

The moment was quick- the two kids had to jump in the water, Walker had to grab onto Noelle and pull her back on the surface.

"Ew, I'm soaked in dirty water." Noelle mumbled, forgetting the fact this wasn't even her line before she looked at Walker. "Did you just pull me out of there with that waterpower stuff?" She asked, keeping her character in.

Walker looked at her before he said, "No."

"Did you just - "

"I don't know, maybe? I'm figuring this out as I go."

The two actors got up, "How are we supposed to get that thing down?" Walker, portraying Percy, asked.

Noelle's gaze went from the shield to the throne. "These things are connected somehow." She said, "It's a machine, but how do you start the machine?" She said as she gazed over at him as the camera was like 6 inches away from her face. It honestly felt like there was a magnifying glass in front of her recording her.

"It was a gift with a hidden purpose. Hephaestus offered it to Hera, but as soon as she sat in it, she couldn't get up." Walker yapped, looking at Noelle as he stood up. "All the gods tried, but the machine was too smart. It was too strong. It was too much. Even for them. Finally, they said if Hephaestus let Hera free, Aphrodite would be his wife. The chair is the bargain. One of us goes in, and the other gets the shield."

"I'll do it." Noelle said with no hesitation as she began walking to the chair but was pulled back by Walker. Ugh. The way she wanted to smack this blonde kid across the face for touching her- joking. Maybe not.

"What? Wait a minute." Walker said.

"Whoever goes in isn't coming out." Noelle responded, looking at Walker, portraying their characters perfectly. "That seems pretty clear."

"I know, that's why I said wait." Walker responded, still holding her arm.

"This isn't the Arch, Seaweed Brain. You're not pushing me into the stairwall again."

"Yes, I am."

"I'm not gonna let you this time. It doesn't work that way."

"It's why you're here."

"Excuse me?"

"When I was choosing my team, I told Chiron I needed someone who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice me if the quest required it. He agreed. That was you, And Annabeth. However, because of Clarisse, I moved on to Annabeth's team. You and Annabeth were right, I can't believe it, but the fates were right. There's no getting around this. We dodged it at the Arch, barely, but.. maybe this isn't something you can dodge forever."

"The Oracle chose you. The gods chose you! You're the chosen one!"

"Stop! It isn't about that. Plus... Im not Harry Potter."

"What could it possibly be about if it isn't about that?"

"You're better at this than me. You just are. And you know it. Believe me, I wish there was another way this quest succeeds. I just don't see it."

Noelle stayed silent, Walker took his pen out and handed it to Noelle. Noelle stared at the pen with shaky breath as Walker walked towards the chair.

"I need you to promise me something." Walker asked, causing Noelle's gaze to go up at him.

"I'm not leaving the Underworld without your mom." Noelle responded, looking at Walker as she crossed her arms.

"Thank you. I was gonna say, when this quest is done, can you maybe swing back here and try to get me outta this thing?" Walker asked, looking at Noelle. The screeching from the background was faintly loud, but the water flowing sounds were enough to cover the noise as the cast was draggingWalker's iconic golden chair thing to the set. Luckily, the two characters managed to ignore it and continued acting.

"You think you had to ask?" Noelle asked, looking at Walker.

Percy tried not to smile, but Erika could see his smile appearing on his face for a second. "Just making sure." He said. Well, that wasn't in the flipping script. Who told you to smile, ho?

Walker went up to the throne again and sat down on it. The machinery started creaking as Walker started breathing heavily, "This is weird. It's.. warm." Walker said as Noelle watched him, giving him a side eye as the camera wasn't facing her.

His lower body slowly started turning into gold, well, it was shown that it was turning into gold. "This is a bad idea. Stand up." Noelle ordered, internally she just WISHED that he could just turn into a gold forever.

"I can't." Walker said softly. The two were successfully managing to hide the amount of hatred they had for eachother.

"Percy, stand up, I mean it." Noelle ordered again, looking at Walker.

"It's okay. I'm okay." Walker responded to her as he pretended that his face started turning gold as well. "I'm okay. I'm - "

"And cut!" The directors said as the staff dragged the gold stature version of Walker in. Since the cast weren't looking. Noelle shoved Walker in the water.

"What is wrong with you?" Walker asked, looking up at Noelle.

"Just hate you, of course." Noelle responded as she rolled her eyes and walked off. Forced to have a mental breakdown later.
