"Morning Taron!" Jamie greets me from afar and i run towards him to give him a hug. "Morning pal! Are you ready for your first day of shooting?" He giggles nervously. "I think i am. But what about you? Look at you! Have you even had any rest in the last couple of months?" I raise my shoulders. "Not really. But i don't mind. I love my job." Jamie laughs.

We get a cup of coffee together and sit down. "By the way Jamie, you know i'm going to stay in character off-camera, right?" -"Yeah, right. I think that's such an interesting approach to acting. I haven't had a proper co-star who was method." I nod friendly. I think it'll be pretty odd for him to experience that.

Richard is method too, which i'm afraid will make a weird dynamic, though. But that's not for another few weeks.

"Taron, Jamie, get to your dressing rooms please. We start filming at nine. Border song scene."

Jamie pats my knee as he stands up. "Well goodbye then, Taron. I guess i'll see you again tonight."

I laugh. "Yeah, see you tonight!"

...

"Bernie Taupin?"
"Yeah, you must be Elton."

...

The energy on set with Jamie is so amazing. Very easy, but also energetic.

"Ah i see you've changed into your normal clothes then! Am i talking to Taron again?" Reactions like this will always be funny to me. It's hilarious how people look at you differently after seeing you in someone elses skin for a day.

"Yes you are!"

"Great. You wanna go grab a drink then?" That'd be fun. I haven't done as much bonding with Jamie as i had planned to. "Sure."

As we're driving through town we pass the karaoke bar Richard and i were at the other day. I laugh silently. I made an absolute fool of myself that night. But it was so much fun.

Jamie seems to have noticed that i'm laughing to myself. He smirks. "Whatcha laughing at?"
"Richard and i went to this bar the other day. Got completely wasted."
"Ah, you two have gotten really close huh?"
I glance at him, cause i hear a touch of jealousy to his voice. But he's just smiling at me. Of course he wouldn't be jealous. Jamie's also a good friend.

"Yeah. Yeah, we have... It's just an easy connection you know. But i feel the same way with you! We just haven't spent as much time together." I smile at him. "Yeah, but we're going to change that." He nods his head towards a bar at the end of the street.

We're sitting at the bar, with not many people inside yet. "So how's your relationship with Richard anyway?" Jamie laughs. "You're really quite interested in him." I shrug. "I'm really not...i was just curious since we were talking about him anyway." He looks at me with suspicion. "I'm just kidding! We've met up a few times! Such a nice fella."
"He is."
I take a big sip from my beer.

Many sips further, Jamie is getting real brave. He stands up and grabs the phone that's on the wall. Although he has his own phone right in his pocket, but whatever.

He's typing in a number aggressively. What is he doing? "Heeeyy Richard helloooo!!" Oh god. Jamie's silent for a second, then looks at the phone in confusion. "Oh." He turns to me. "Taron, do you know what Richard's number is?" I laugh at him. Thank god i decided to take it slow with the drinks tonight. "It may surprise you, but i don't. What do you want to call him for anyway?"

"Ha. You wait and see." Gosh. Drunk Jamie is really something else. He grabs his phone from his left back pocket. I think he had a bright moment there and remembered to use the number he already has.

"Hello hello who is thiss?" Jamie's walking over to me and put Richard on speaker, so i hear his laugh and the other side of the line. "Well, you called me so i expected you to know!" His face lights up.
"Would you look at that Taron! It's a Scot! You told me you have a thing for Scottish accents didn't you?" Richard laughs even louder. "Is that so, Taron? What's up with Jamie? Can't handle his booze?" I giggle. "He cant! He's going crazy!" Jamie looks at me like he's very hurt. Sarcastically, i hope.
"Going crazy because of the booze, huh? Reminds me of someone." Richard says cheekily, giggling afterwards. I gasp. "Oh! You come over here and i'll beat your ass will ya!" Jamie burps. "W-what's going on with you two? You sound like a couple in high school." Richard and i laugh in unison. "Ookay Jamie, maybe you should go home. You need help with that, T?" "No thanks Rich, i've got it handled." Jamie laughs. A bit too loud, so everybody looks at him. "You've even got nicknames for each other. How adorable." If he keeps this up, he's gonna be the head of our -how do they call it- ship. "Okay that's enough, J." I put the emphasis on the "J" as to give him a nickname too. "Okay Dicky i'm gonna hang up on you now, alright!" "Haha sure. See you around, Duckie!"

As i hand Jamie his phone back, he scoffs. "You two are crazy, you know that right." I help him put on his coat. "And who is that coming from?"

He hugs his coat, as if he missed the feeling of it. "Let's get you home, bud."
He smiles at me. "Thanks for this Taron. You're a good friend."
"Of course."
