"Can you keep your eyes open?"
Vanessa nodded. "Sorry, I'm just too sleepy-"
"It's alright," the makeup artist said, "I'm almost done."
"Is Vanessa done?" Jeff yelled from the outside.
"Two minutes!" She yelled back.
Vanessa wrapped up and stepped out to meet Jeff by their car.
"Where's Kylie?" She asked.
"Oh, good. You don't look dead anymore."
"Kylie's artists are better than I expected."
"You should thank them to help you out. Everyone could easily see you're having the hangover of the century."
"They seemed okay with helping me."
"Just because of who you're Kylie's sister."
"Or because Kylie is mine-"
"Vanessa!" Kylie's voice came from the other side of the open field. "Vanessa, here!"
She narrowed her eyes. "Do I need glasses or is Kylie standing next to a horse?"
"She is. She's learning horseback riding for today's episode."
"She has to ride a horse? Can she learn that fast?"
"Enough to get a few shots."
"I thought she's playing the role of the main character's kid. Why does that require horseback riding?"
"Apparently, the main characters are famous actors in the movie so naturally, their kid gets to have unnecessary things."
"That's right."
Jeff and Vanessa turned around at the unfamiliar voice.
"Hello." The movie's female lead greeted them with a smile. "I didn't know you were going to visit today."
"Hello." Vanessa replied. "Kylie wouldn't let me live if I didn't."
"So your role is really of a celebrity in this movie?" Jeff asked.
"Yes. Deric and I were talking about how it doesn't really feel that different from our real lives so it's not that hard to act."
"Except for the part of being married and having a ten year old child."
Sandra laughed. "I wouldn't mind a child like Kylie. She's so well mannered. And she picks things up so fast. Look at her, already riding like a professional."
Everyone turned to look and indeed, Kylie seemed natural while riding the horse.
Vanessa laughed internally at Kylie being nice.
"Wasn't Audrey here, too?" Sandra asked.
"No," Jeff replied, "she was busy."
Vanessa again internally laughed because in reality, they didn't know what exactly Audrey was doing.
"Uh, I saw her a while ago though?" Sandra pointed towards the building. "She was talking to the director."
"Sorry?"
"Yeah. In there."
Vanessa and Jeff looked at each other.
They went in and saw Audrey and Mason with the director.
"Audrey." Jeff laughed. "When'd you get here?"
"A while ago. Vanessa, hi. How're you feeling?"
"Good." She smiled.
