Prologue

"Now, we have a new cast member joining us for today. You just saw her as quite a badass girl named Brooklyn Carter and now, in the flesh - we have Minerva Harrison!" Chris Hardwick exclaimed as I revealed myself from behind the curtain down near the stage door. 

My dress was black and reached just above my knee, sparkling slightly and matched with the black sparkly shoes. Hair scooped into a high ponytail and makeup rather subtle. I took the seat between Ross and Lauren. 

"So, hello Minerva!" he exclaimed with a grin. 

"call me Minnie." I replied with a happy sigh.

"alright Minnie! Are you enjoying yourself on the set?" 

"oh, hell yeah. All these people have become just like my family and i've just formed a bit of a bond with these guys." I grinned as Ross just draped his arm around my shoulder.

"and, i know you don't like to talk about this but do you feel stronger now than you were just after the break up with Zayn Malik?" 

Ugh.

Zayn.

"Honestly, I feel more free than ever. I finally feel as though I can get back on the dating game y'know?" I replied with a small grin before everyone began cheering.

"Let's just talk about your first scene. How much fun was that to do?" He asked me.

"It was absolutely amazing. I loved performing my own stunts and the superhero landing at the end was absolutely hilarious man." I laughed.

"I'll tell you something right now. When she first came on the set, her first take was her jumping and she couldn't jump high enough and it ended up with her grazing her chin. It was quite hilarious. They needed to use a mini trampoline." Lauren said with a laugh as I found myself blushing and laughing.

"You made little Minnie blush and get all embarrassed Lauren - god-" Ross laughed as he pulled me closer.

"Wait, you guys aren't dating are you?" Chris asked as Ross and I burst into hysterical laughter.

"No! No way!" We both exclaimed as I pulled away from the hug.

"They might as well be though right? I mean, in the next season there will be some moments that make you feel feelings about those two-" Steven spoke up as I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, off the topic of dating - Minnie, will we be expecting any new music coming soon?"

"Oh yeah. There's a new song which all four of us in Little Mix wrote about our exes and well, let's just say it's very salty. I mostly wrote the first verse except for a very explicit line in there which Leigh Anne put in for proper effect. We all pitched in though." I replied with a small grin.

"And you Little Mix girls are all gonna be in Grease Live which is coming soon as Rizzo, Frenchy, Marty and Jan, if I'm not mistaken?"

"Yep! I'll be bringing Betty Rizzo to life with my three best friends: Jade as Frenchy, Leigh Anne as Marty and Jesy as Jan. So I'm really excited for this too. But my top priority right now is this show."

"You're so lucky to have such amazing friends around you. Now, what is coming for Brooklyn?" He asked.

"So much. There's a bit of a spark between her and another character which will come rather unexpected in my opinion and she also leaves her mark definitely. I love this character so much."

"It's been great speaking to you all. Have an awesome night."

"You too."
