"This six a.m call time is fucking bullshit."

"You're just grumpy because you didn't have time to get any last night."

"Shut up, Dinah."

"I rest my case."

"And for once I'm on time while nobody else is."

"Um, hello?"

"You don't count; we drove here together."

"You bet your ass I count."

"Ugh, whatever."

"Do you have a stick up your ass or something? Like, did you and Mila get into some kinky stuff and she left something up there?"

"The fuck, DJ?"

"Just asking."

"Well, don't."

"I don't have to put up with you all day," Dinah says with a hair flip as she walks away.

"Uh, actually, you do!" Lauren calls out to her retreating form. She only receives a middle finger in response.

Rolling her eyes good naturedly, Lauren follows after the girl into the hair and makeup trailer.

There are five seats set up in front of five different mirrors, just like always, with each vanity labeled with one of the girls' names. Lauren glances over, seeing that she's sat in between Ally, who is on one end, and Dinah, followed by Normani and then Camila. Making her way over to her seat, Lauren sets her stuff down and drops into the chair, taking a sip of the Starbucks her and Dinah picked up on the way over.

"As tired as I am, I'm kind of looking forward to this video too. It's pretty different from our other stuff."

"Yeah," Lauren scoffs, "because in this one we have to shake our asses even more."

Dinah gives her an unimpressed look. "Girl, please, don't act like you don't love shaking your ass for the camera."

"Shut up," Lauren chuckles out, gently pushing at Dinah's shoulder.

"Hey, at least it's not too hot today," Dinah muses.

"That's true," Lauren replies with a nod. "Imagine filming something like this in the summer."

"Yeah–"

Before Dinah can say anything else, Ally walks in, her greeting loud and positive as always.

"Morning, girls! Ready to do this?"

"Hey, Ally," both Dinah and Lauren respond in unison. They all exchange hugs with her before she moves to her seat, setting her purse down.

"Mani and Mila were just pulling up when I started walking in so they should be here any moment."

Dinah just nods while Lauren looks to the door in anticipation. A smile begins to appear as she hears some chatter approaching the trailer, and when Camila steps up and through the door, Lauren is on her feet to greet the girl.
