Before You Go (Sequel to The Visitor)

xiii. Confidence

"Ellie!" Annie paused before turning around; for it was Karen's voice who called her back down the hallway. It always took her a moment to register after someone would call her with that name.

"What is it?" She inquired, and Karen smiled serenely.

"They want us to do some bits for Doctor Who Confidential. Think you're up for that?"

Annie nodded- it had to have been in her contract to give up a bit of time on breaks for goofing around in front of the Confidential guys' cameras.

Karen took the little girl's hand thankfully, and brought her back onto the set. "What do you want to do? All they really want is a few questions and behind the scenes stuff."

Annie was clueless; she had never done this before. She shrugged, before seeing Matt and Arthur loitering by the organ on set; they were on an hour long break.

Motioning to Karen mysteriously, the little girl sat down on the bench that was meant to be tucked in; Steven always allowed them to mess around after all the takes were done with- especially if it was for Confidential. As long as the actors didn't break, steal, or screw up the continuity, they were fine. And it was, because the shoot in this set was over, and it would be struck the next day.

Annie began to play "I Am the Doctor" on the pipe organ. It was crazily difficult, but she knew that the Confidential guys would love it.

After repeating a part three times over; the easiest one there was, she waved for Matt to take over on hands 1 and 2. He did, bewilderingly so, and only messed up a few times...

"Ellie Rose is...magnificent. Funny, too. While she's on set, it's like we've got the real Annie Williams with us..."

"I like playing the piano with Matt on breaks. He picks things up really quickly, and sometimes we play the Doctor Who theme song together..."

"Oh, Ellie's hilarious! The first day we met, I knew she was something special..."

"The first day that Ellie Rose walked in for her first audition, was one that I'd never forget. She went from knowing so little about her character, to claiming it as her own in less than twelve seconds..."
