Bexley sat in the callback room. After landing the lead in The Lightning Thief, she's been doing chemistry readings all day.
" Having fun?" Stephen, their director, smiled.
" Tons." Bexley laughed. She really was but, she also really wanted chocolate.
" You ready for our next person?"
" Yup." Bexley jumped up.
" Okay, come on in!" Stephen called. Bexley looked up from her script and let out a short gasp.
" Name?" Stephen paid no mind.
" Josh Burrage." He gave Bexley a little smirk.
" Hey, Bexley, isn't your married name-"
" Burrage." Bexley laughed.
" Well, this should be fun." Stephen chuckled, gesturing for them to begin.
" You ready for this, Seaweed Brain?" Bexley teased.
" You betcha, Wise Girl." He winked.
" You haven't even started!" Janice, the producer, chuckled.
" I like them!" Kristin called.
" They're cute." Chris agreed.
" We're married." Bexley laughed.
" That's why!" Jarell laughed.
" Can you do a rough run of My Grand Plan?" Stephen asked.
Bexley and Josh got into place as the music started up. Bexley began.
" I've always been a smart girl. Always made the grand, always got the gold star. I've always been a smart girl, but smart girl only gets a girl so far. You win at every single game, you want a quest, they tell you tough. If you don't know, youll never know if you'll ever be good enough-"
" Stop! Stop! Stop!" Stephen called. Bexley subconsciously jumped to Josh's side, interlacing their fingers.
" Your chemistry is almost too much for me!" Kristin declared dramatically.
" That was amazing, you got the part." Stephen announced.
" Um....thank you?" Josh turned to his wife, confusion written all over his face.
" They're saying that you love me and they can't handle the cuteness." She translated for him.
" It's true." He shrugged.

" What happened?" JoJo asked the second Bexley and Josh walked through the door. JoJo stood at the island while Ben sat across from her, a bowl of cereal in front of him.
" You're looking at the new Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase of Broadway!" Josh called.
" Seriously?" Ben's spoon dropped from his mouth.
" You guys are gonna kill that." JoJo beamed.
" Why thank you." Bexley made a beeline for the cupboards, probably searching for chocolate.
" I swear if you guys start calling each other Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl around the apartment." Ben called, his mouth full.
" No, Angel and Dork are so cute." JoJo shook her head.
" I don't think that's gonna change, don't worry." Josh chuckled.
" But seriously guys, that's awesome." JoJo stated.
