Ghost

Language

AN: So I got some people upset. Even though I put a disclaimer and continue to put one. This fic is wholesome fun between friends, a cute dog, and the love of music. There are romance elements but I am not shoving anything down anyone's throats. We're good. Okay.

Anyway, I wanted to incorporate this because Madison has mentioned it before. Also Charlie is teasing her in this to get her motivated. There are also signs of their chemistry on display. For the French that Charlie speaks, I had help with that from Ninabrm. They were kind enough to make sure Charlie sounded natural.

Meanings of the French sentences: 1. French is the language of love for a reason. 2. You are feisty when you're angry 3. Read my lips 4. My little cabbage

What Madison says in Spanish is kind of like saying honey.

Shout out to dyslexia awareness! Enjoy!

----------------------

The bad thing about filming in the spring was the fact that Madison still had to do school work. So to her great chagrin she was sitting in the school room on set. Thankfully Ghost was a real one and had decided to keep her company while she sat and studied. She really hated school. It was tedious and over complicated. She just wanted to be done with it so that she could be with her boys more often.

    She absentmindedly scratched the top of Ghost's head as she read from the book in front of her. With her dyslexia, reading and writing was a challenge but it was more difficult this time around because she wasn't looking at words in English. It was like she was dealing with alphabet soup with how the letters just jumbled up before her eyes.

    It was a fight not to cry in frustration. She knew that being neuro divergent wasn't a cake walk. But she had hoped that her mind would be able to connect the words she heard over the years with what was in the book. There was an obvious disconnect. And it was causing a horrible thumping along the temple on her left side.

    "I don' t think you have laser vision to burn the book, Mads." Madison snapped to attention at the voice to see Charlie sitting across from her. He was relaxed with his arms crossed and laying on the table.

    Madison rolled her eyes. "Well duh. I am just trying to focus is all." Ghost looked up from resting his head on his mother's lap and barked a greeting to his father.

    "Hello to you, too, boy." Charlie leaned forward to spy on what she was reading. "That doesn't look like your regular school work. What are you doing?" Madison didn't see a point in avoiding the topic. Charlie would simply pester her anyway.

    "I am trying to learn Spanish. I really want to take it serious this time. What are you doing here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be filming?"

    Charlie just gave her a charm smile. "Owen is doing his scene with Sav right now. And Jeremy is checking in with Care about the marketing. Besides, I wanted to see my family," he said with a shrug.

    Madison looked back down at the textbook in front of her to hide her smile. "Of course. Now I know something is bugging you. I can tell."

    Charlie groaned. "I don't know how you do that. But yeah, I actually wanted to ask you about Owen." Hearing their friend's name, Madison's head was up and her eyes on him.

    "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with OPJ?"

    Charlie shifted in his seat, looking at the table. "I don't know. The other day...he was acting weird."

    Madison sighed. Charlie knew she was resisting the urge to roll her eyes again. "Acting weird how?"

    Charlie thought back to the moment. "Well...he was...skittish....I guess you could say when him filming with Booboo came up. He avoided looking at us. It was like he didn't really want to talk about it."
