(I feel like it, so I'll give you an extra long one!)

"Okay! (y/n), it's your time to shine!" Shawn told me, which made my anxiety rise a little.

"It's okay (y/n), you'll do great! Just ignore the cameras and go for it." Noah said, hugging me a little. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes, the ones that held fear. "What helps me is just to imagine that it's all real. Just imagine that you are really moving in with the Wheelers. Embrace the emotion."

I nodded and turned around, heading to my mark which was just a small piece of black duct tape on the ground to that it was hidden, though I could still see it. I stood tall and faced the 'front door', taking a deep breath to calm myself, and I felt my mind go into full acting mode the second I heard the director shout,

"Action!"

~~~

"Erin! It's so good to see you!" Karen said, hugging the nervous yet slightly annoyed girl.

"You too." She said, trying to sound enthusiastic, though it came out monotone.

Behind Karen, the two siblings came tromping down the stairs, wanting to greet Erin as quick as possible so they could avoid her.

"Ah, Mike, Nancy, thanks for coming down. Mike, take Erin's bag up for her, Nancy, can you set the air mattress up in your room for tonight?" Karen said, now facing her children.

"Oh, Mrs. Wheeler, I can take my own bag and I'm sure I can set the bed up on my own as well." Erin said, slightly confusing the siblings.

"Are you sure?" Karen asked.

"Yes."

"Alright well, the mattress is in the closet in the hallway upstairs."

"Thank you."

Erin walked past Mike and Nancy, not really giving them any sort of greeting at all and walked up the stairs, out of view. Nancy and Mike shared glances before walking up to Karen.

"Mom, can we go to the Byers?" Mike asked, Nancy nodding.

"Why? Your cousin just came over and now you want to leave?" Karen asked.

"It's important." Nancy said.

"How important? Like, is it actually important or do you just want to see you friend and boyfriend?"

Nancy blushed and Mike rolled his eyes. "You don't need to go out tonight. Go find something to do." Karen told them, turning around and leaving the room.

The siblings exchanged annoyed looks and went upstairs, to where their next scene would be. Mike's room.

"CUT! We're good! Good job (y/n)!"

I came back down the stairs and blushed when I saw everyone was staring at me, smiling. I walked over to Millie, who looked as though she was going to explode from excitement.

"(y/n), that was great!" She raised her voice, pulling me into a tight hug.

"Definitely! You're a natural!" Sadie said, punching my shoulder a little.

"I-I wasn't that good." I said, blushing from all of the compliments the others were giving me.

"Wasn't that good? That was amazing! I wasn't nearly as good as you when I started and I was in a few movies before this show!" Noah said, hugging me.

I blushed at the contact, though no one noticed, thankfully. He pulled out of the hug and I saw he was blushing a little as well.

"Break time! You guys earned it!" Ross Duffer told Finn, Natalia and I, which also meant that Cara and everyone else was on break. "Noah, you aren't in the next scene so take a break as well. Millie, you and David are on, so come."
