You are the Music in Me

Chapter 42: Wondering

*we go to makeup and costume and get all ready*

Josh: Ready to head to the auditorium?
Olivia: Yes but I have a request
Josh: what's that?
Olivia: Can you give me a piggy back ride? Pleeease!
Josh: *I bend down in front of you* hop on!
Olivia: *I jump up* To the theatre?!
Josh: To the theatre! *I slightly run to the theatre*
Olivia: This one's even better than the one you gave me at the park
Josh: Cause this time you have 2 shoes!
*laughs*
Olivia: And I didn't fall into a river before hand *laughs*
Josh: *laughs*
Olivia: I still have ptsd around rivers
Josh: when have you been around a river since then *laughs*
Olivia: Okay well whatever. I was trying to make a joke. Apparently it wasn't funny
Josh: I laughed!
Olivia: But that wasn't the point- ya know what. Nevermind
Josh: Okay Miss Rodrigo

*we walk on stage where Julia and Tim are*

Olivia: Hello! We made it!
Tim: Hey guys! So Josh, you can just hang cause I just need you at the very end. Olivia and Julia, you both know we are doing this live, so we have mics set up all around the piano. Alright I'm just gonna start rollin.

*we go through blocking and directional cues*

Josh: *I stand with one of the camera guys*
Tim: Action!

Olivia: *I walk up the stairs and onto the stage*
Julia: *Ashlyn* *playing piano then sees Olivia and stops* Oh hi
Olivia: *Nini* Hi
Julia: *Ashlyn* Hi
Olivia: *Nini* Hi uh I didn't know anyone was in here
Julia: *Ashlyn* I can be gone in like 7 seconds.. 6 if I don't zip my bag
Olivia: *Nini* Oh no no no no don't go. What was that?
Julia: *Ashlyn* what was what?
Olivia: *Nini* the song you were just playing
Julia: *Ashlyn*. Oh that. Is um.. Miss Jenn asked me to compose a song for my character.... it's probably way too much.. I'm playing Miss Darbus-
Olivia: *Nini* Oh I know who you're playing Ashlyn. I sat across from you at the read through. Besides you're Ej's cousin.
Julia: *Ashlyn* We don't have to talk about Ej... I don't wanna talk about Ej... do you wanna talk about Ej?
Olivia: *Nini* N- I mean I do. But just not right now. *checks phone* geez this has to stop
Julia: *Ashlyn* It doesn't matter who texted. It's no ones business-
Olivia: *Nini* one of my moms has been sending me these fortunate cookie messages everyday to keep me "balenced" um "true test of character is what you do when no one's looking"
Julia: *Ashlyn* why would someone send that
Olivia: *Nini* she seriously needs to stop. that's like the 15th one today

Julia: *Sings* Seems like a part of me will always have to lose
Every single time I have to choose
Swore that it felt right, but was I wrong?
Is this where I'm supposed to be at all?
I don't have the answers, not today
It's like nothing makes the questions go away
What I'd give to see
If the grass was greener
On the other side of all I've had and lost
Would it be enough?
Or would I still be wondering
If I could go back and change the past
Be a little braver than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing?
If I had everything
Would it mean anything to me?
Olivia and Julia: Maybe I should turn around and take the other rode. or maybe I'm just looking for what I already know. I'm just wondering
Josh: *I walk in*
Olivia: Feels like I might have broke the best thing that I had
I said too much to ever take it back
Scared I'll never find something as good
And would I even know it if I could?
Olivia and Julia: If I had everything would it mean anything
Olivia: To me
Tim: Cut!
Josh: *I run up to Olivia and Julia and give them a huge hug* YOU GUYS! OH MY GOD!
Olivia: *I laugh*
Julia: Oh thanks!!! *laughs*
Tim: I'm so proud of you guys oh my god! You were absolutely incredible! And they say singing live on tv is a bad idea!
Josh: Yeah you guys just proved the world wrong!
Olivia: Hell yeah we did! Oops sorry. Inner teenager came out there
Julia: *hugs Olivia* that was amazing!
Olivia: Girl we just did that! You were so amazing!
Julia: Thank you *starts to tear up* we crushed it!
Tim: Well lets pull ourselves back together and run it again!
