"Okay," Frank says, "so every dancer is standing here in a kind of line in front of Kate, Phoebe, Emily and Michelle. Just cheer for the people." Everyone is walking to their place and so is Briar. She stands beside Myles. Great, just great. Why does she has to stand beside him?! Frank says action and the scene begin. Kate starts calling names and everyone cheers.

"And from J-troupe," Kate says then, "we've both Richelle and Noah." Everyone cheers again and Briar and Myles look happy. "CUT," Franks screams through the scene. "Can you guys maybe hug?" he says, "like a 'great job'! hug?" Myles nods and Briar tries to smile a little. Well that's going to be awkward, Myles thinks.

Frank gives a few other corrections and then the scene starts again. Kate calls again a few names and when she says Richelle and Noah, Briar starts to get nervous. 'Okay,' she says to herself, 'stay calm, don't flip, just hug him. You can do this.' People cheer and the moment on which they have to hug comes way too fast. Myles puts nervously an arm around Briar and looks away when they give each other a side hug. He's extremely relieved when the hug is finally over again.

'That was the most awkward hug ever,' Briar thinks. The rest of the scene goes by, but Briar doesn't really pay any attention. That hug keeps repeating itself in her head. She knows for sure that she ruined it and that their already weird friendship will be ruined.

Myles and Briar's friendship is one of a kind. They basically never talk when they're alone both scared to mess anything up. Not that they ever notice the other is feeling the same because they're too busy with their own feelings.

Brittany who's standing a little behind sees the awkward hug. 'Ugh,' she thinks, 'I can't handle this any longer.' Basically everyone sees that Briar and Myles like each other, but they're both too scared to admit. "I can't bare this any longer," Brittany says to Jordan who's standing beside her.

"Nice Brittany," Frank says and he laughs slightly, "don't talk through a scene please." Brittany gets red. She completely forgot they were still filming. Frank gives a few more corrections and Briar rolls her eyes. 'Great,' she thinks, 'now I've to hug him another time. One time was enough torture.'

'It's just a hug,' Briar keeps repeating in her head while the scene starts again, 'nothing more, nothing less, nothing to worry about.' Myles has mixed feelings. In his opinion hugging Briar is great, but it felt way too awkward. He doesn't want to ruin anything. Way too quickly the moment for them to hug comes again. And this time the hug is a little less awkward. A really tiny bit less.

"What did you say during filming that scene?" Jordan asks Brittany when they walk to craft after they finished filming. "I said I couldn't handle it any longer," Brittany says, "or something along those lines." Jordan looks confused at Brittany. "And you were talking about...." she says.

Brittany looks behind her to make sure that they aren't accidentally walking behind them. "Briar and Myles," she says then. "Aha," Jordan says, "yea I ship them so much." "I know!" Brittany exclaims, "who doesn't."

"So why can't you handle it any longer?" Jordan asks still slightly confused. "Did you see that hug?!" Brittany says. "Not exactly," Jordan says, "what was wrong with it?" "It was like the most awkward hug!" Brittany says. By now they've reached craft and they both grab something to eat. "So?" Jordan says. "They so like each other," Brittany says, "they're just too stubborn too admit."

"I'm starting to feel like you've a plan," Jordan says and laughs slightly. "Indeed," Brittany says proud, "we're going to get them together." "Sounds good," Jordan says. "What sounds good?" Isaac asks who just walked into craft. "We're going to get Briar and Myles together," Brittany says. "Cool," Isaac says casual, "I'm in."
