Curveball

Chapter 4

**Morgan's POV**

You almost can't contain your excitement as you wait knowing you are next to go in.  You yell at yourself, get yourself together it's just someone playing the part, it's not really Adam Driver.  Taking a deep breathe as they indicated it was your turn.  Walking in they indicated a general area for you to stand, noticing that they were trying to keep your attention away from where the person who was playing Kylo Ren would be coming in from.  However you saw the movement out of the corner of your eye as Kylo Ren walked into the room. Keeping yourself level headed, even as your stomach was going through that weird feeling again but this time it was spreading out throughout your body.  Looking straight into where his eyes would be you speak with more conviction that you are surprised you can muster out, "Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, I am so honored to meet you." I smile as much to myself as to anyone who can see me that I am getting through this.  I can see the slight movement in his shoulders as though he is shocked someone has actually decided to play ball. It was so quick that you aren't even sure you saw it, as he starts to advance on you, getting closer and closer as he asks, "Do you have news of the resistance or the scavenger?".   Your heart starts to beat out of your chest as you know that voice is not someone else playing Kylo Ren.  To keep the game going and hide your nervousness, you fake that he is force choking you, "Yesss, they hhhave been onn Bbatuu".  He matches what you are doing and brings up his hand as you had started the fake force choke. Then he drops his hand and you rub your neck as you gasp for breathe, half exaggeration, half for real that your dream was a premonition and it is coming true.  All of a sudden you hear him laughing as he slips his arm around your shoulder to the photopass photographer.  You hear him say "I think it's time for a break Josh", as you see commotion all around you as no one seemed to be ready for this sudden change.  All of a sudden he spins around looking directly at you as he asks, "What is your name?".  Shocked by all that is happening with the cast members almost falling over one another getting things in place and the fact that he is talking to you, you keep up with character as you aren't sure what is happening for sure, "My name is Morgan, Supreme Leader Sir".  You notice as he nods to the man he called Josh, as he says to you, "Morgan you are coming with me!" as he starts to walk towards the way Josh was walking.  This is madness you say to yourself but follow along, as you get to the backstage area you notice they have another Kylo Ren ready to take his place as they swap out.  You heart has been going a mile a minute with no way it will be letting up anytime soon as you walk to what appears to be the cafeteria area.  As you are gestured to sit down you follow instructions as you wonder if your gut is singing correctly as he starts to remove his mask but he stops right before he does, giving you a sideways look.  "Did you know who I was the whole time?"  You hear the total surprise in his voice, as he asks as if questioning whether to remove the mask.  Taking a big breathe, "I knew when you first spoke that it was you Adam.", Looking down at your feet unable to bring yourself to look at him any longer, before you explain yourself further, "I have watched enough Youtube videos from the people that come here to Disney to know how the voice changer normally sounds with the actors they have here.  I would be lying if I didn't say I find you to be a fascinating actor, and person.  From what I have been able to observe of you from interviews from you, your cast members, and directors, it all leads to the same thing, you care so much about everyone involved in a project and know it's a team effort and you are just one part of the moving machine.   When you speak in interviews it is very rare for you to use the word 'I', which is so refreshing to see in a day and age that most people only care about 'me, me, me'.  Then your dedication to your non profit Arts in the Armed Forces with your wife is so heart warming.  I'm sorry I ramble on when I get nervous, you didn't ask for all that."  Still not looking up, you just look with your peripheral vision as you see he has taken off the helmet as it's now in his hand, and you play with your nails, as if you see dirt that needs to come out.
