Chris Appelhans:

In Maggie’s original mission for the movie that I definitely connected to, there’s this idea of presenting women that were badass, super beautiful, and glamorous. But also weird and funny, food-loving, and silly and wearing their pajama pants. That’s the thing where I’m like, “God, this is so long overdue!” We just kept trying to make them kind of fabulous and amazing, but also human and silly and flawed.

admit it. you're in love with me.

if only i had someone to go out with...

a date would be really nice right about now.

i might reconsider if you bring me flowers.

were you being serious back there?

did you just try to impress me?

was that another joke, or were you telling the truth?

we agreed that if no one asked us, we'd go together.

keep telling yourself that!

here it comes! the big love confession i've been waiting for!

you've been in love with me since the day we met.

you visited me in my dreams last night.

i know you're in love with me. you just won't say it outloud.

we can't hide this forever.

don't make me beg.

if you weren't so cute, you'd be annoying.

you're not very good at hiding how you feel.

you've been staring at me for a long time now.

is that what you really think of me?

you have feelings for me. admit it.

so what if i've been lying this whole time? for good reason!

you don't make this whole love thing any easier.

you make life difficult.

you're a piece of work.

is that how you really feel?

you're lucky you're so cute.

you're not really going out with them, are you?

i thought we... nevermind.

consider me impressed.

am i annoying you right now?

you didn't like that comment, huh.

i was only kidding!

you wish we were kissing right now.

oh, you'd just love to hear me beg.

i love our little back and forth.

sooner or later we'll have to come clean about how we feel.

i'm not good at hiding my emotions.

when were you going to tell me you were in love with me?

i actually hate your guts.

keep talking like that and you'll see how i really feel.

can your head get any bigger?

was that a joke?

were you just playing with me?

you didn't actually mean that, right?

hang on. you didn't just say that.

that was a joke, right?

this is just how we are when we're together.

i tease you, you tease me.

you and i have always been like this.

if i'm not annoying you, what's the point?

i'm allergic to tickling.

they said we'd make a cute couple. can you believe that?

are you always this annoying?

if i kiss you, will you turn into a prince? yes, i'm implying you're a frog.

you're lucky i love you so much.

you take that back!

that was uncalled for!

this means war!

this calls for a duel!

i'm challenging you to an arm wrestle.

last one there is a rotten egg!

i'm not racing you!

stop looking at me like that.

you stare at me a lot.

i know, i know. i'm irresistable.

something on my face?

a little bird told me you're in love with me.

prove me wrong.

♪ * ― took blood, sweat, and tears to look natural

rumi prepared literally her entire life to be a hunter mira is a trained dancer, and an internationally acclaimed one at that zoey with her 27 notebooks of demon insults and a dream was the only one who had to get into idol shape when huntrix formed, rather than being ready to go her friends were super supportive of her the whole time - rumi massaged her sore muscles and mira took her to the bathhouse to soak as often as she wanted. but zoey lived every day before that first world tour in fear of being the weak link, of disappointing them or the fans because she couldn't physically keep up. so if you've ever seen that video of taylor swift running on the treadmill while singing through the eras tour set list at full volume? that's zoey. every tour, every time. with a mirror set up in front of herself so she can practice not showing the exhaustion on her face. five years in it's as much calming ritual as it is lingering anxiety that makes her do it - it does not matter that mira and rumi assure her that she's just as ready as they are, she doesn't believe it until she can do the whole set list without getting overly winded.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm really totally fine." Zoey assured her, laughing at how silly she must look. She couldn't see herself but she had no doubt she'd smeared the sparkly golden makeup under her eyes in her hurried attempts to dry her tears as they rushed off stage. Thank goodness they only had to perform one song tonight because given the state Zoey was in? She probably wouldn't make it through a second.

At least they were happy tears.

"It's just so ... did you see them out there when the house lights came up?" Zoey hiccuped, gesturing with one hand towards the stage right wing they'd just exited from. "Those fans sitting in the fourth row ... the ones who ... who had painted patterns on their arms ..."

Patterns just like Rumi's. Patterns that had been on full display since the night of the Idol Awards. Patterns that, though they'd never voiced it out loud, all three girls had privately wondered about the fans' reaction to the sight of them.

Well. They knew now.

"They don't even realize what they're saying by doing that, what it represents, they ... they're just doing it to support you and that ... sorry, I'm being a big baby, but that made me really emotional."

"Of course I'm crying, are you even watching this?!" Zoey sobbed, gesturing emphatically towards the television screen with one arm. The other was currently wrapped around Rumi's, clinging to her friend as the two of them curled together on the couch to watch the recording from the Idol Awards.

Obviously not the whole Idol Awards; no matter how much distance they got from that day, Zoey wasn't sure she'd be able to stomach seeing it. The demon version of herself torturing Rumi live on stage in front of the whole world, the words she'd written to expose the Saja Boys turned deadly weapons leveled at someone she loved more than anything.

She'd seen the aftermath of that performance and it had given her nightmares for weeks. She couldn't imagine what seeing the whole, horrible thing would do to her. To either of them.

But Golden, Golden was ...

"You sound so beautiful ... and you look so happy..." Zoey murmured, dropping her head onto Rumi's shoulder as her tears continued to silently streak down her cheeks. "No wonder the fans think you're such an angel."

"... I know that Rumi's always kept some stuff from us. Goes somewhere ... lonely in her head that she won't talk about or let us see. And that makes me sad, but... I dunno, people can have secrets and that's okay, right? Doesn't mean they love you any less, but I just ..." Zoey frowned, knuckling a fat tear off her cheek before pulling both her knees to her chest and miserably dropping her chin on top. Curling into a ball as she sat on Mira's bed, still wearing the same clothes she'd been in at rehearsal when this whole mess had started.

No, that wasn't true, was it?

This hadn't just started today. Something had been wrong, really wrong, between the three of them for a while now. Their usual synchronicity, how they could read each other's minds with a glance, was all out of whack. A poisonous shadow hanging over their friendship, horrible seeds of doubt sprouting in Zoey's chest that she hadn't felt bloom since before she joined Huntrix.

"... I just can't shake the feeling that she's pulling away from us, Mira. And I don't know how we fix the honmoon, fix any of this, without her. We can't, she's ..." Another watery sniffle cut her off before she tipped her head down to disappear into the safety of her own chest, unable to finish the thought.

"Now I'm not saying I trust you. I know that you're up to something evil with the fans. So don't think because I'm here right now that I won't totally put one of my knives through your stupid, adorable face if you try to suck out my soul." Zoey frowned, doing her best to look as coolly intimidating as either one of her friends. Eyes narrowed, one balled hand on her hip while the other pointed a finger in Baby Saja's face, a scowl on her lips. But there was a distinct lack of sincerity that ruined entire effect - after all, Zoey hadn't come here to threaten anyone.

Actually, she wasn't even supposed to be out here at all. But having told Mira and Rumi that she needed a new battery pack for her headset mic (she didn't) and that Bobby wasn't answering his phone (she hadn't even asked), Zoey had ducked out of their shared dressing room five minutes ago in search of another. In search of him. The girls could never know about this, they'd kill her. But the way she saw it? Zoey didn't have a choice, she had to go to him because-

"... That rap break for Soda Pop was reaaaaaaally catchy. How'd you do it?"

♪ * a mid-movie starter for ― @aegiiya

[playb0thsides]

Zoey was almost never home alone in Huntrix Tower. And after this? She was never gonna wanna be alone anywhere ever again.

Normally, she'd never invade her friend's privacy by walking into her room when she wasn't there. But Rumi was off having a difficult conversation (to say the least) with Celine, one of the first towards what everyone hoped might be some sort of eventual reconciliation with their mentor and ... well, Zoey had wanted to brighten her day in case it went even worse than expected.

The oversized vase of purple flowers she'd special ordered was really beautiful - it was such a shame that Rumi would never see it. Or, rather, that she'd only see it smashed on the floor because Zoey instantly dropped it at the sight of a figure standing near her friend's bed.

"AHH! A DEMON!"

Shimmering knives flew through the air, expertly targeted to all the major pulse points and ... hit nothing. Smacked uselessly into the wall across the room and disintegrated.

"WORSE! A GHOST! MIRAAAAAAA, RUMIIIIII HEEEEEEEELP!"
