Impractical Jokers, Practically

Chapter Ten

Everyone got up from the table where we just finished our breakfast. All of us sprang off in different directions, trying to get ready. 

We have a busy day ahead of us. We have to shoot a challenge, that takes up a good portion of our day, and then we have a party to go to. Our producer is throwing some big get-together tonight and everyone's invited. The entire day should be fun, but busy. 

"Madison, you coming with us?" I asked curiously. We were alone in the kitchen, the boys were upstairs. 

She hesitated. 

"Come on, it'll be fun. You get to watch us all in action. You'll get all the inside knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes of the show." I smile. "You also get to spend more time with Murr." 

"Alright, you sold me. I'll come."

"Great. Please tell me that you're also coming to the producer's party tonight too? Murr told you about it, right?"

"Yeah, he invited me. I'm looking forward to it. Now you and I can kind of have our double date with Sal and Murr that we talked about." Madison replies. 

"Hey, about last night...we're good right? Are you mad? Because I didn't make Murray try to kiss me and I told him your secret that you liked him only because I thought it would help the situation and..."

She interrupted. "Alexa, calm down. I understand why you told him. It actually worked out for the best. Murr and I talked all night last night. I like him now more than ever. And I don't hold that kiss against you. I know that wasn't your fault."

We smile at each other just as the boys come downstairs. 

"Alexa, I know you have a new best friend and all but, if you don't hurry up, we're going to be late." Q teases.

We were in the middle of filming. This time, at a grocery store. I love when we do the challenges at grocery stores because I think they come out to be some of the funniest moments of our show. We were trying to clip balloons on unsuspecting shoppers. Whoever gets the least amount of balloons attached to a person, loses. Q, Joe, Sal, and I already went, and Murr was up. 

"Come on, Murr! You can do it!"

Madison was cheering Murray on. Even though she wasn't actually part of the show, we still gave her an ear piece so she can listen in. 

Murr exclaims, "But it's so hard! Oh wait, I have an idea." He grabs a balloon and starts sprinting towards a woman. Before he can reach her, he trips and falls, causing the lady to turn around. 

"Ooo she caught you! That was your big idea?!" Joe laughs. 

As soon as Sal sees Murr trip and fall, he ends up on the ground too, from laughing so hard. I love it when Sal falls down laughing. 

Murr dusts himself off and says, "I thought I could just put the balloon on her quickly and then run away. Damn it!" 

Murr come back to our set up as Sal gets back on his feet. We were finally done filming for the day. I smile at Sal and he squeezes my hand. It was a normal day as far as the show goes, but I noticed a few differences. Though we didn't call ourselves boyfriend and girlfriend yet and we didn't even have our first kiss yet, we were still "together." And because we were together, that makes filming Impractical Jokers to feel different. I find myself rooting for Sal and secretly hoping he gets a thumbs up. But I also cringe whenever he has to be around other girls. And I notice him tense up whenever I had to talk to guys. I enjoyed being able to hold hands with him while watching the other guys on the floor and being able to stand next to him the entire time without getting any weird looks from the others. I'm definitely enjoying this, but I also hope this doesn't ruin our friendship. Or the show.
