Moving In

Thomas stood with Kaya, Will, Ki, and Dylan. Today was the day everyone met one another. And with his first experience of Dylan, Thomas knew that he would be a handful. However, it was clear enough that they were going to be great friends.

Here he was though, babbling on about just who Rosanne was going to be. Of course he knew whom the Charlie Sanders woman was that Dylan was talking about, and it would make sense for her to play the part of Rosanne, but the chances had to be slim.

"Attention everyone!" Wes called from the corner of the room. Everyone turned to look at him and Dylan finally quieted down. "I want to thank you all for coming out today, and congratulations on making the cast and set crew. Today will be nothing more than a getting to know one another day. Tomorrow we will start filming, be here at 7 a.m. sharp." Dylan immediately groaned pouting at the early time. "Now, I know there has been some talk recently." Wes looked directly at Dylan and everyone smiled. "About our character Rosanne. Well, I'm pleased to announce that our child's little inquiry is right." Instantly Dylan's face lit up with excitement. "Please help me welcome our Rosanne, Mrs. Charlie Sanders."

Behind him a woman walked out, hands shoved into her pocket nervously. Her blue eyes were locked on the ground as she stepped forwards mustering up the warmest smile she could. Instantly, for some reason, Thomas's world seemed to freeze around him.

As cheesy as the moment might be, to him the world went a blur. She walked in, smiling from cheek to cheek. Her blue eyes glancing nervously from one person to the other. Then, for a split second, their eyes met. She stuttered with her steps as well, but Wes's hand landed on her shoulder pulling her gaze away from his.

Kaya let out a smile observing Thomas, but being pulled back by Dylan's collection of money, she pushed it away for later.

"I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it." Dylan mocked as he collected five dollars from each of his opposing friends.

Charlie stepped downwards to level with her cast mates. Dylan was absolutely fangirling out. "It's nice to meet you too Dylan." She smiled kindly outstretching her hand to him.

Dylan just eyes it at first. "I hope you realize, were not just going to be co workers Sanders. We're going to be besties! GROUP HUG!" He yelled picking her upwards.

Charlie laughed as Dylan, Ki, Thomas, Will, Kaya, and a few other cast members pulled her into a hug. After a few grunts they were dispersing. "Easy boys easy." Kaya chuckled taking Charlie's side. "Don't worry, after a while fan girl here will calm down." She motioned to Dylan and immediately he blushed. "Stick with me and we shall learn to control these ravage beasts together."

Laughing at Kaya's side everyone turned hearing Wes's voice. "Alright, alright. So before I turn the cast loose for the day, I want to have a little contest."

"Contest?" Will asked. His British accent immediately made Charlie smile. She was a sucker for British accents.

"Just to get everyone warmed up to one another, follow me."

She didn't like this at all. A paintball war? Was this really necessary?

"Alright!" We called from his bull horn. "The teams are Dylan, Kaya, Will, Aml, Blake, Dexter, Joe, Jacob, and Randall. Team 2 is Charlie, Thomas, Patricia, Alexander, Chris, and Ki."

Ki immediately protested "What?! How is that even fair?!" He screeched.

"You guys get Charlie!" Dylan yelled.

She rolled her eyes. "I use a bow not a dammed paintball gun Dylan!"

"Oh well!"

Wes continued with a smile. "You hit the chest plates of the opposing team! One person carries the flag, get them out and everybody on the team is out. If you are hit you are out. Your goal is to get the member of your team whom is holding the flag into the safe zone of the other team! Now go to your safe zones and get ready!" He yelled.
