Ghost

Day Off

AN: This chapter is just pure fun. The skating scene was inspired from a part in the 1995 Might Morphin Power Rangers Movie, a childhood favorite. So I accidentally made it a thing for Owen to fall on Booboo. It just happened a lot until I realized. But yeah here's another installment of that. Oh! And Ghost is winning this war with Owen, lmao! We also get the introduction of Madison and Owen's bestie handshake. Also the cast now has a thing of watching telenovelas together. So with that all out of the way, enjoy!

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

Everyone sat around, the boredom seeping in more as each second ticked by. Madison and Charlie were on a spinning chair together, her on his lap with Ghost tucked into Charlie's side. He was slowly spinning the chair, trying to find some kind of entertainment. Owen was twirling a drumstick and staring up at the ceiling on the floor. Booboo was sitting next to him and pushing his skateboard back and forth with his foot. Jeremy and Sacha had found some cards and were pretending to actually play a game. Savannah, Tori, and Jadah were trying to keep busy on their phones but their sighs said otherwise.

They were all supposed to be doing a big cast music and dance number but they had been forced to wait while some technical issue was handled. As a result, they had been forced to spend a better part of an hour sitting around. And it was slowly eating away at them.

"How long until we get to film," Owen groaned.

Everyone else grunted at the question. "You have asked that four times already O," Charlie grumbled.

Owen glared at him. "Well I'm sorry. You know not having breakfast and then being forced to sit around forever really leaves you cranky," he snapped at the brunet.

Madison sighed and looked over Charlie's shoulder at their friend. "It is not Charlie's fault you didn't have breakfast."

Owen's glare moved to Ghost who was already staring right back at him, challenging him. "No. It's Ghost's. He switched his food with mine."

Booboo's brows furrowed. "How did he even do that," he thought aloud.

Charlie spun the chair around so he was facing the grumpy younger man. "You know Ghost is smarter than a lot of dogs. You have to watch him."

Owen pouted and turned his body to face Booboo. The half Asian sighed and patted Owen's shoulder. "Don't worry O. We'll go to Craft and feed you as soon as we know what the deal is here."

"And when will that be," Jeremy sassed as he gave up playing cards with Sacha. The blond guitarist just kept quiet. Madison almost felt bad for him since he wasn't as used to the band dynamics. But she was more focused on keeping her boys from going at each other.

"That's enough. I mean it. I know we are all tired and cranky but we need to keep it together. We have to film this thing. Do you understand," she said pointedly, looking at each of three musicians with a stern glare. Charlie curled his arms around her waist and cuddled her close. She wasn't easily appeased though. "I'm still annoyed at you," Madison said to him.

Any responses to Madison's mothering was stopped at the sight of Kenny. The seventy one year old man walked up to them with disappointment written on his face. He clasped his hands together and looked over the group of teens and twenty somethings. "I hate to tell you all this but we will have to stop production for the day. The camera that is supposed to follow you guys has some issues that need to be fixed. We should be up and running by tomorrow. So you don't need to be here today."

Owen was the first to speak up. "Wait....does that mean we have the day off?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Kenny for confirmation. "Yes it does. Enjoy your time off kids." He smiled at them before leaving, likely to figure out the camera problem in time to film the next day.
