Nevil POV
The perks of working for a tv survival show, running fast enough to out run Fletcher. I got Alex to the acting room. Since I'm the only acting prodigy it gives me a excuse to not be interrupted. Especially in the Theater Room
"So what do you got planned?" She asked looking around
"Well I thought we could practice" I suggested and she nodded.
"I'm not that great of an actress Nevil"
"You'll be great" I assure her and lead her to a miniature stage built into the room. We sat on the top beside each other.
"So how do we start? I don't know anything about acting." She shyly says. One thing I know about Alex, she doesn't like to admit she's clueless on things.
"We could do improv." I suggest.
"What's that?"
"I'll give you a scene, and you just act it out. Randomly. It'll be fun." She sighs
"I'll try. But I might really suck at this." She's giggles
"You won't,trust me." I say and we stand up.
"Can you speak American?" I asked her and she shrugged.
"I've been around Fletcher a lot. I could try mimicking his accent." I wasn't pleased to hear she was mimicking that monkeys accent but if it helps her think she can do this,then by all means.
"Ok, the scene takes place in the Aunt Farm. Your a dance prodigy,a American, dance prodigy. I'll be me." She raises an eyebrow
"Why do you get to be yourself?" She's crosses her arms.
"Fine, who do you want me to be?" I asked.
"Fletcher. So you'll have to an American accent too." Fletcher. Out of anyone she wants me to be Fletcher?
"Does it have to be him?"
"Yes, or I'll just go to him right now and we can finish this later." She threatens. I sigh
"Fine." I say confidently.
"Ok so the scene is, you just arrived from New York and I'll welcome you." I say and she nods.
She goes to the side then walks in looking around.
I walk up to her and hold out my hand
"Welcome to the Ant Farm, I'm," I had to swallow hard for this "Fletcher."
"Hi Fletcher, I'm Lily." Her American accent was pretty good.
"I'm a dance prodigy." She says then holds her leg above her head. Which I didn't know she could do. "What are you?" She asked after her legs back in place
"I'm a annoying prodigy. I specialize in all things aggravating to normal people." I say with a smile. I was expecting a laugh but all I got was Alex crossing her arms and leaning on her hip. It wouldn't have been that bad if she didn't give me that look she would give me as a child that was worse then my mothers. She gave it to me when she thought I wasn't being fair or I did something wrong.
"For gods sake Alex, do you have to give me that guilt look?" I complain
"Is it working?" She asked with a straight face.
"Yes."
"Good. You don't have to be so hard on Fletcher. He's sweet." She says making me wanna find him and punch him for getting her to get that impression of him.
Before I could answer, the lights were shut off. It was complete darkness. I swear if Fletcher did this I'll kill him. But I was focused on a shriek Alex gave out.
"Alex, stay where you are." I intricate as I hold my arms out and try to touch her but I can't.
"I'm getting off the stage." She says and I yell
"No!" But then I heard a slip and then a thump.
The lights came back on and it left me with the sight of Alex on the ground. I rushed to her side after jumping off the stage. I started shaking her but she wouldn't wake up. I put my ear to her mouth,she's breathing. Thank god. But she's not waking up!
I picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the Theater Room. I rushed to the main room in the middle of the elevator and sat her down on the purple couch.
There were prodigy chatting amongst themselves but when I set Alex down they all crowded around.
"Is there a medical prodigy here?" I asked desperately. I was worried for Alex sake. I didn't know if she could slip in a coma or what.
"I am." I hear from the back of the room. A short guy with red hair and freckles came forward
"What happened?" He asked kneeing by Alex.
"When the lights went out, Alex was trying to get off the stage but she slipped and fell." I explain.
He nods and checks around her. He hears her breathing and puts her hand on a pillow
"From now things are looking, she's unconscious. Lucky for you. I carry a bottle of stuff that's sure to wake her up. " I sigh in relief as he digs in his pocket and holds a tiny test tube with green liquid.
He waves it under Alexs nose. And soon her eyes pop open. She scrunches her nose and pushed the hand away from her.
"Get that stuff away from me. It smells terribly bad." She says. Accept without our home accent.
"Are you ok?" I ask and she nods.
"Yeah, I'm just hoping this doesn't affect my dancing." She says while getting up. I gave a confused expression.
"Dancing? Alex, you don't dance. Your an art prodigy." I say as she raises an eyebrow.
"Art, I didn't take Art in New York. I took dance, even in Broadway. But art, no. And who's Alex?" She questioned and it worried me when she said the last thing.
"My names Lily, not Alex."
