Josh: *I laugh*
Josh: *Sees everyone walking down the hallway out* bye everyone! .... and you young lady are coming with me.
Olivia: And to think I had the chance to escape..... just kidding!
Josh: *I laugh* I have a suprise for you.
Olivia: What? Joshua Bassett!
Josh: Come with me. *I hold out my hand*
Olivia: *I grab it* Where are we going?
Josh: Just come with me. *I look at Tim and he nods to me* *I walk you to outside a random door*
Josh: So this is the recording studio... where they will have us record all our songs for the show.....But I've asked Tim if we could use it for the next hour or so to record your song. *I open the door and everything is all set up: including a guitar, headphones, a piano, and mics*
Josh: So, what do you think?
Olivia: Are you- OH MY GOODNESS JOSHY! THANK YOU SO MUCH! *I hug you tight* You are amazing!
Josh: *I hug back, laugh, and smile happily* So your the boss...It's your song.
Olivia: I'm still trying to get over the fact that you did this for me! You're the best.
Josh: *I smile*
Olivia: Okay. Ahh this is so overwhelming. I don't know what to do!
Josh: So lets just sit and you can take me through how your song goes.
Olivia: Okay so my song umm....If you don't remember from when I sang it at the bonding meeting.... it's about being scared of like love and me always singing about it like I'm an expert but in reality I'm just really inexperienced. So yeah. I just umm *gets a little teary eyed* it's a little p-personal.
Josh: Hey, I'm here.
Olivia: Sorry I didn't mean to start crying it's just with everything that has been going on it just- yeah. Anyways, it's called "I'm Not Ready".
Josh: I do think the best way to get all these feelings out is in a song.
Olivia: I agree. Hey do remember what you played on the bonding day... because that was like perfect.
Josh: Yeah and I've been playing with it a little. *I play it for you*
Olivia: *I sing the song quietly*

Josh: I forgot how amazing this song is what the heck!
Olivia: Oh stop. I'm not that good.
Josh: Oh shut up *I smile* Okay so do you have the lyrics written down anywhere?
Olivia: Yeah in my notes on my phone. Let me just- *pulls them up* here we go.
Josh: Oh okay thank you! So how are we doing this... are you just going to sing and I'll play?
Olivia: Umm I was thinking about you singing with me, but if you don't want I mean that's fine.
Josh: No, I'd love too sing with you. I just didn't know if you wanted me to.
Olivia: I mean I always wanna hear you sing.
Josh: *I grin*
Olivia: Okay so are you ready?
Josh: Yeah give me one second. *I turn on all the equipments and check the mics*
Olivia: Are we good?
Josh: I think so... is there anything you need?
Olivia: Nope.... just my trusty guitar player.
Josh: Check! *I hit the record button and look at you* 5 6 7 8

Josh: *I start to play my guitar*
Olivia: *Sings* I sing about love like I'm some connoisseur.
Give advice like I'm some expert,
but I'm just a kid who sits in their bed.
at 2 am with 1000 thoughts in my head.

Josh: *I start to tear up while I play my guitar and listen*

Olivia: *I point at the words wanting you to song along*

Olivia: *sings* I'm too young to be hurt
Josh: *sings* too scared to be broken
Olivia: *sings* I'll just go back to being alone
Josh: *sings* and leave my thoughts unspoken
Josh and Olivia: *sings* I'm just not ready yet

*We finish singing the song*

Olivia: *I look at you with tears eyes*
Josh: *I get up quietly and stop the recording. I walk over to you and give you a hug* You never seize to amaze me Liv.
Olivia: *starts to cry while hugging Josh* You're amazing Bassett.
Josh: *I hug you tighter*
Olivia: *I hug you back*
Josh: *I pull back* Okay so let's listen to this... *I walk over, about to hit play*
*I wipe my eyes while your not looking*
Olivia: You okay joshy?
Josh: Yeah, I'm good. It's just I can relate so much to this song too. It hit me different *I kinda laugh*
Olivia: Yeah it's so relatable. Not that I don't like other artists... it's just when I am like getting over a break up... I'm not going out and drinking because that's just a tad bit illegal. *I laugh*
Josh: *I laugh* Just a tad. *I hit play and the song plays* *I walk back over to you and sit down*
Olivia: *I lean into you and hum the song*
Josh: *I smile and look at you*

*The song finishes*
Olivia: That was perfect!
Josh: I'm so glad you like it!
Olivia: Thanks again Joshy!
Josh: My pleasure.
Olivia: Okay we don't have to record this one but I wrote a little something for you.
Josh: or me?
Olivia: No for Shrek- yes you silly!
Josh: *I smile*
Olivia: Are you ready?
Josh: So ready.
Olivia: *sits at the piano and starts to play*
Olivia: *sings* Joshy

Joshy
Laughs when my jokes aren't even funny
Joshy
Takes the time to always be there for me
Oh joshy

Josh: Awwwwwww your so sweet! *I hug you*
Olivia: I literally couldn't ask for a better best friend.
Josh: I couldn't either. I wouldn't trade you for anything.
Olivia: *My face turns red* Your the best.

*Tim walks by the door and signals to us our time is up*

Josh: Wow it's been an hour.

Olivia: Yeah. It has. Thank you so much Josh. You don't know how much this meant to me and how much you mean to me. This was so amazing and we sounded incredible. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. *I hug you*
Josh: Anything for my best friend. *I grab my guitar and get the recording we made* You ready to head out?
Olivia: No, but I guess we should go. *laughs*
*We walk out and see Tim*
Tim: Hey guys how'd it go?
Josh: It was great! Thank you again!
Tim: Yeah of course. Now, when you get the chance, do you think I could give a listen to it?
Josh: *I look at you*
Olivia: For sure! hey I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick... be right back. *I leave*
Josh: *I turn to Tim* Here, I'll make you a copy of it right now. I make him a copy and give it to him*
Tim: *Listens to it*
Tim: This is incredible. Olivia wrote this?
Josh: Yeah, she did.
Tim: Do you think I could ask her to write a song for an episode. I've seen her videos on her instagram and she's incredible. Disney offered us out own song so I thought I could ask Olivia to write it.
Josh: Oh my goodness! Yes you should! She totally deserves it!
Tim: Okay great ,I'll give her a call tonight. It's gonna be for episode 4 and I'll give her details.
Josh: I can't wait to tell her!
Tim: Oh don't tell her yet.... I want this to be a surprise.
Josh: Will do. I'll see u tomorrow!
Tim: Bye Josh

Olivia: *I get back* You look happy... not that you shouldn't be you just look more happy than usual.
Josh: Tim just really liked the song so I'm happy for you... Ready to go?
Olivia: Yeah. let's roll out....sorry that was cringey *I laugh*
Josh: *I laugh*
