Chapter 19: First Day on Set

The next morning was probably the first morning I had ever pleasantly got out of bed before 8AM, but Jen had to be at set for 4AM and if I wanted to go to set then I had to go with her. To be honest I didn't really sleep at all that night, I was just too excited.

Jen was coming in to my room at 3:30AM to wake me up so that I could get ready to go. I couldn't just get back into bed after I ad gotten up so instead I got dressed. I wore a plain black tank top, some light blue skinny jeans and then a baggy knitwear cardigan over the top. I also put on some fluffy socks. I would put on my UGG boots when I went downstairs closer to the time when we would be leaving the house.

After I had finished getting ready I went and sat back on my bed, I got the laptop from the desk before I did though. I logged on and then began to look through my twitter. There were thousands of messages all asking me random things about Jen and the rest of the cast, some were even asking me whether I would be at set today or not. I had never been this popular before in my life, I didn't have that many followers! Did I? When I looked it turned out I had hundreds of thousands, only about a thousand less than Jen. Why were people interested in me?

I spent the time between when I started looking through my news feed and when Jen came to wake me up just trying to answer as many people as I could.

"Becca, wake--" Jen began and when she saw me she stopped talking, i think she was quite shocked that I was even awake let alone dressed and ready to go. "Why are you already awake?"

"I didn't even sleep. I was too excited." I explained sheepishly. "Then I got dressed and tried to answer some of the questions people asked me on twitter."

"How many questions do you have on twitter?" She asked me.

"I don't know. It started out a few thousand and then when I started. But then when I started to answer I ended up getting even more," I told her.

"Why don't you do what we do." I looked at her quite confused I only got twitter when Jen adopted me, I hadn't had anything to look at it on before that. "We tell them that when we have a certain amount of followers, we will do an ask session, so you would do a #askbecca.They tag that in their tweet and then you look on those and just answer which ever one is first on the screen."

That sounded like a good idea and when Jen explained even more about it she told me that you only have to do an hour of it so I don't have to spend the entire day doing it. She told me that if I did it when she had a break then she would help me with it and if she didn't have an hour long break then someone would and she would get them to help me instead. So I sent out a tweet saying that I would be doing an ask session later in the day but that I wasn't sure exactly when.

After Jen had finished explaining Twitter to me I went downstairs to grab some cereal.

"Morning Rebecca" said a voice from behind me. When I turned around I realised that it was Rose.

"Morning, what are you doing up so early?" I asked her.

"I'm working on once today and my car broke down a few days ago, so O was using Jen's" she explained. "therefore Jen has to drive me to work."

That made sense. She was playing with Jen's dog, Ava whilst I ate breakfast and then she had some yogurt while we waited for Jen.

After about 15 more minutes Ken finally came down the stairs. She said she didn't need breakfast because she would either grab something from Starbucks on the way or just have something from the catering table later on. She had to be in hair and make up by 4 and it was quarter to not so we really had to get moving.

We drove to the set and Rose went in to get drinks when we went past Starbucks. It was quite quiet in the car but I didn't mind since all I could think about was seeing Jared and the rest of the cast but Jared mainly. When we got to set we said good bye to Rose and Jen showed me where her trailer was incase I needed to get away at some point, then we went to the hair and make up trailer.

In the hair and make up trailer there was three very sleepy women. One was sat drinking a coffee, another just stood behind an empty chair waiting for Jen and the third was fiddling with Colin's hair.

"Oh my Gosh, my daughter talks about you all the time." the woman who was standing behind Jen's chair said to me. "Sorry my name is Linda, I do Jen's make up." Then she pointed to the wean falling asleep in her coffee. "That's Josie, and the other one is Ella."

I waved to all of them and then Colin began to talk as well. "Leave the poor girl alone she has only lived with Jen for a month and look at what you're all doing to her." After he had said that all of the adults laughed and I took the opportunity to shoot Colin and appreciative glance. trying to remember everyone's names was starting to hurt my head.

I talked to Jen and Colin whilst they had their hair done but when Colin had finished I left with him and he showed me around where all of the places where the trailer was. He called it trailer city and apparently so did everyone else. He showed me where Ginny and Josh's trailers were and Emilie, Lana and Robert. He even showed me where Jared's trailer was. His trailer was in between Colin's and Jen's. I went and checked his door, it was locked and when I asked Colin why he said that it was probably because he wasn't atwork yet.

I went with him to sit in his trailer with him until a woman came to tell him that it was time for him to go to set. He asked me if I wanted to go, but I declined for now. I think I need to explore on my own. I walked around and then I bumped into something that was much taller than myself. I looked up and it was a man that I once called one of the smartest men alive. Looking down at me was Adam Horowitz, writer of Once Upon a Time and standing beside him was his co-writer Edward Kitsits.

"You're Rebecca, aren't you?" Edward asked me.

"Umm, yeah, that's me, I'm Rebecca." I confirmed.

"Well you can call me Adam and that one is Edward but only his mom calls him that so you can call him Eddie." Adam explained.

I couldn't help but smile. These are the men that had saved my life only 5 years ago. They seemed to understand how someone who was so alone, as Emma was, felt and how they processed things. I went through it and even I understood how hard it was to explain and describe. After they had welcomed me to Vancouver they then left talking about the new season.

This is my life and even after a month I couldn't believe it. I felt quite dazed and decided to go back to Jen's trailer to have a nap, it had been a long morning.

Jen came and woke me up at 12:50PM and told me that she picked me up some mac and cheese from the catering trailer. She also told me that she had a couple of hours break and that she would help me with my ask session. Since I had someone to help me I tweeted that I could do my ask session at 1PM.

Jen and I spent the next hour answering random questions ranging from "what's your favourite food?" To "will you ever be on Once Upon a Time?" Some of the questions were quite easy and others were quite hard. There were so many people that were so happy when I answered. Just before the end of the session I got a text from Jared telling me that he had just got to set. I told him what I was doing and he told me to meet him in his trailer when I was finished.

When I had finally finished the session I told Jen where I was going and went to knock on Jared's door. He opened almost immediately.

"Becca, I haven't seen you in like two weeks." He told me as he pulled me into a hug. "I missed you." With that he kissed my head and we went and sat on the couch in his trailer. We talked for an hour before Jen came and told me that she was going home. When we got to the car Rose was already there. She was laid across the back seat like she was about to go to sleep.

"I am so tired, this is what happens when you don't work for three months." She complained. "I am in need of the sleep."

Jen laughed and said "she is such a drama queen but I must agree I am really tired myself."

We drove straight home and since I wasn't hungry I went straight to bed, it had been such a long day. A long day, but still an amazing one.
