Good Morning

     I hardly slept the night before my first day. I woke up before anyone else and started a cup of coffee. Smiling into my cup, I wondered what the day held. I prayed that I wouldn't screw up. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear JJ walking behind me. "What are you doing up so early Rae?" her voice carried up to me. I jumped and whirled around. "JJ, you scared me honey. You little ninja!" I snapped. She did the best puppy dog eyes ever and held her stuffed teddy to her chest. "I'm sorry Rae. I didn't mean to, honest." My eyes softened at her recoil. I squatted down to her level and held out my arms. JJ ran to my arms and I hugged her. "I'm sorry JJ, I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm just nervous about going to work with your dad." She leaned her head back to look at me. "You'll be awesome! I know it. I'm sure daddy and mommy and uncle Jared will think so too." Her confidence in me touched me. "Thank you very much sweetie. How about we make some waffles before we leave, huh?" JJ squealed at the sound of food and went to the pantry for the mix. I smiled while she hummed to her little self. 

     We laughed and danced around to the music playing from my phone while using the waffle iron. JJ stopped dancing and gasped when Let It Go began its first notes. "I love this song so much!" She squealing. I giggled at her enthusiasm and turned it up louder. We both sang at the top of our lungs, not caring who heard us. I pretended to throw snow at her and she "threw" it back at me. Once the climax of the song came through the speakers, I picked JJ up and set her on the island, letting her take the stage. JJ knew all the moves to end of the song, so of course when Elsa dramatically threw her arms wide open, so did JJ. We were both out of breath by the end of the song, and I had to lean back against the counter for support. Once I got my breathe back and I wasn't dizzy anymore, we started laughing until our stomachs hurt. I moved to the island and bowed dramatically. "Let me help you, Princess JJ." She giggled and curtsied. I helped her down as we both heard applause. 

    I turned with a flushed face to see Jensen holding his stomach with a huge smile on his face and Danneel recording the entire affair. I shook my head and covered my face with my hands. "At least don't tag me in it guys." I pleaded. JJ perked up. "Can I be tagged in it?" I laughed, hard enough to start coughing, which quickly turned to me hyperventilating. Jensen sobered up and Danneel rushed over to me. Gasping for air, I held my chest, trying to calm down and hopefully end it. Jensen had poured me a cup of water while Danneel held my hand. "Here Rae, drink this." I sipped through the straw and slowly regained control of my breathing. Sighing, I said "Thank you." I looked over to see JJ huddled in a corner. I moved over to her. "Hey JJ, it's okay. I'm alright now." She titled her head to look at me. "I was scary Rae. I didn't know what to do to help you." I smiled gently at her. "I know honey. It's okay, I just cough sometimes when I over work myself. You didn't have to do anything, okay?" I explained to her. JJ nodded and hugged me. "See? I'm all better now." She didn't seem convinced. I stood up and clapped my hands. "Who wants waffles?" The sound of food took her mind completely off of what just happened.

  The waffles were the bomb! I tried not to gorge myself, that didn't work out too well. I went upstairs to my room to get ready.  What the heck do I even wear? I thought to myself. I rummaged through my mostly empty closet, tossing aside outfit after outfit. I finally decided on skinny jeans and a plaid shirt with my favorite 80's band shirt underneath. Tossing my hair up in a messy bun, I strolled over to my makeup desk and got to work. I finished and checked out the final product in my mirror. I felt like a total hunter in my plaid and combat boots. Fluffing my shirt and checking my makeup one last time, I walked downstairs. Danneel smiled and gave me a hug, so did JJ. "Have fun! Tell Jared not to mess with Raelyn too much, please." Danneel told Jensen. He only smiled. 

   The two of us walked on set and it still amazed me, all the hustle and bustle going on and on. I noticed Jared and Misha hanging out over by a food table. We walked over to them and talked. "Hey guys." They smiled and hugged me. "Hey Raelyn! You ready for your first day?" I laughed and nodded. "I am, but first I actually gotta have a character." Misha pipped up, "You should get that today and maybe film a scene or two." I played with my shirt while the guys caught up and went over scenes and such. I drank another cup of coffee and soon I was called. "Raelyn! Eric needs you!" I turned to the guys and gave them a thumbs up and walked towards Eric's trailer. 

      Here goes nothing.
