(The lights abruptly turn on to see you, Shawn, Geoff, Tina, Anna, and Harry slumping over the coffee tables, paper balls everywhere, all of them clearly have stayed the night to get more done. Ariana Grande walks in with confusion written all over her face.)

Ariana - What’s with the cameras?… and the sleeping songwriters?

(She turns on more lights as she walks around. She points to Shawn and smiles)

Ariana - He’s much more good looking in real life. Looks like he has a girlfriend though.

(Ariana frowns a bit and looks at Shawn’s arm draped around you. She tilts her head to the side and shrugs.)

Ariana - Or they could be really good friends. Yeah. Really good friends.

(Ariana’s bodyguard runs in, checking the perimeter and inside of each room waking everyone up.)

Bodyguard - Ari?! Are you alright?!

Ariana - Sebastian, I told you it’s Ms. Grande and I’m alright. I’m just inspecting.

(Ariana huffed in annoyance, turning away.)

Ariana - Sorry about that, that’s my bodyguard, Sebastian. He ‘insists’ on being around me all the time but I just think it’s because he finally got out of that police academy and is now with the “big boys”.

Sebastian - She’s 100% right.

Y/N - Um… okay, it’s fine. Sorry that you had to see all of this.

(You motioned your hands to the entire room of sleeping people.)

Harry - Yeah, we were trying to finish this one song but, we just couldn’t figure it out.

Ariana - No worries. I just wanted to stop by. Maybe even hear part of the song.

Shawn - Yeah, um Y/N? Wanna show help?

Y/N - Yeah one sec, let me brush my teeth.

(INTERVIEW WITH ARIANA)

Ariana - I honestly only agreed to this to see Shawn up close and personal and HOOF! Cameras are deceiving because he’s a 6 on camera but a 10 in real life!

(Ariana looked akin to a 13-year-old fangirling about one direction in 2011. It was uncanny how similar it was.)

Ariana - I’m just hoping this ‘Y/N’ didn’t scoop up this hunk yet.

(END OF INTERVIEW WITH ARIANA)

(You and Shawn got ready to show Ariana the song, your ukulele in hand)

Shawn - You ready Y/N?

(You nodded and placed a capo on one of the frets of your ukulele. You both sung the officially finished piece, the guitar and ukulele harmonizing with one another.)

Shawn - So... What’dya think?

Ariana - It was good! Might even sound better with an actual professional singer!

(You frowned at her jab at you, but smiled at her nonetheless.)

(INTERVIEW WITH Y/N)

Y/N - An A-List celebrity just insulted me! This is so wild!

Director - You know she’s doing this because thinks you’re Shawn’s boyfriend, right?

Y/N (blushing) - She what?

(END OF INTERVIEW)

Shawn - Y/N actually wrote your verse of the song, but if you feel she’s not “professional enough” feel free to rewrite it.

(Shawn put air quotes around “professional enough”. Ariana huffed at Shawn’s insult, him knowing she can’t write music for shit.)

Sebastian - I mean, I thought it was amazing.

Ariana - That’s really funny Sebastian because it’s like... someone asked you? Isn’t that so funny?

(You waved off Ariana and smiled at Sebastian and made a heart with your hands.)

Y/N - Thanks, Sebastian.

(Shawn reluctantly smiled at him, giving him a thumbs up.)

Ariana - Aaaaand I think that concludes our visit. Thanks for... nothing I guess. Toodles!

(Ariana bent her pointer finger twice as goodbye and you did it back in confusion. You waved goodbye to Sebastian, a bright smile on your face.)

(INTERVIEW WITH SHAWN AND Y/N)

Shawn - I’m pretty sure she smelled me while i was sleeping.

Y/N - Really? I felt her tug at me.

Shawn - Tug at my arm right? So weird...

(Shawn shook his head and smiled. You looked at him and felt your chest swirl in a way you haven’t in a while. All was somewhat good.)

EPISODE 1

(Episode starts out with you and Anna walking into the studio, ominously talking low.)

Geoff - Y/N, Anna.

(Geoff nodded toward the two of you, you two becoming cautious, suddenly aware of your surroundings. You tentatively sat down in your bean bag, your eyes widening as you looked at the writing room.)

Y/N - Did you put my songwriting journal and ukulele in jello?!

(Shawn comes in to see your red face and Geoff on the floor laughing. He strolls over to the writing room to see your beloved ukulele and songwriting journal in yellow jello.)

Y/N - Oh, I’m gonna get you back. You’ll regret this.

Geoff - Sure I will.

(Geoff walks off into the bathroom giving you time to put picks in Geoff’s guitar.)

Shawn - Hey YN, ca- are you putting picks in Geoff’s guitar?

Y/N - Maybe I am, maybe I’m not.

(You speed walk away from the poor guitar and silently wait for Geoff’s reaction with Anna.)

Geoff - Goddamnit Y/N!

(Geoff huffed and tried to get all of the picks out, you and Anna giggling your asses off.)

(INTERVIEW WITH SHAWN)

Shawn - Every few weeks, Y/N and Geoff have very intense prank wars. 

(Scene cuts to you eating an oreo, but immediately spitting it out, Geoff standing behind you with a tube of toothpaste in his hand.)

Shawn - They get really into it, like really into it. 

(Shawn leans into the camera as if he were to tell a secret.)

Shawn - I think Geoff got Y/N’s boyfriend to break up with her as a prank.

(END OF INTERVIEW)

Harry - Are you two at it again?

Y/N - Unfortunately, yes.

Tina - Oooh! No one told me! Did anyone get the popcorn?

Harry - No we can’t, have you guys heard?

Geoff - Heard what?

Harry - Shawn got a duet with Ariana Grande! 

Y/N - The Ariana Grande? Like, Cat from Victorious Ariana Grande?

Tina - There’s other Ariana Grande’s you know?

Y/N - N-no.

Harry - We’ve got work to do! Don’t you dare waste time, this is Ariana Grande we’re talking about!

Anna - Aye aye, captain.

(Everyone scrambles to their usual writing place, you and Shawn in one room, Tina, Anna and Harry in the other. You scribbled in your notebook, your eyebrows scrunched together.)

Shawn - You seem pretty focused, got a new song?

(Shawn leaned over to look at your notebook, the page littered with pranks that you were gonna pull on Geoff.)

Shawn - Come on Y/N, we have to get at least a song done today.

Y/N - I know, but I need a better plan, that handsome bastard decided to dunk my precious uke in jello.

(Shawn sat next to you, stunned. His eyes were popping out of his skull and his mouth was ajar, his blinking coming to a stop. You turned toward Shawn and waved a hand in front of him. He sat motionlessly, leaving you to tilt your head and run a hand through your hair.)

Y/N - Shawn? You okay?

(Shawn shook his head out of his small trance, looking at you with a small smile and a simple nod.)

Shawn - Yeah, I just uh, thought of something.

(Shawn took his laptop off the small coffee table and onto his lap, he typed like a maniac, typing at 70 mph. His face slowly reddened, and his hands clenched together as he finished typing.)

Y/N - Shawn, you don’t look so good.

Shawn - I’m fine, I just- the song is getting me amped up! 

(Shawn laughed nervously, his gaze stuck on Geoff.)

(INTERVIEW WITH SHAWN)

Shawn - A crush? On Y/N? That’s ridiculous.

Director - We literally watch you for 8 hours a day. We’re not blind.

Shawn - That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard!

(Shawn fidgets in his seat, twirling the small yellow bracelet on his left hand. Shawn scratches the back of his neck, getting red.)

Shawn - Maybe a little.

(END OF INTERVIEW)

(Shawn continued typing, his face at a normal color. He had his guitar in his lap, quietly strumming a few chords.)

Y/N - Hey can I see the lyrics?

Shawn - Yeah sure 

(Shawn passes his laptop to you, your eyes scanning the lyrics.)

Y/N - Strumming bpm? 

Shawn - Hm... I was hoping maybe you could find it?

Y/N - Cool. You have the melody?

Shawn - Yeah, here

(He started strumming his guitar at a random rate, singing the song for you. The song was about how even though he’s watching from afar, he still couldn’t bear the thought of not having the girl.)

Shawn - I uh, only wrote one verse so Ariana could sing the other verse of basically the girl’s perspective. And its um called afar.

Y/N - Jesus Shawn, you’re a fountain of talent.

(You scanned the lyrics again a feeling of admiration washing over you. Behind you, Shawn looked at you with the same admiration. All was fine.)

END OF EPISODE

[shawnologist]

Soon? Like soon soon or Shawn soon

Shawn soon tbh, I'm trying to make these episodes as long as possible!!

[shawnologist]

When part two coming out I can't wait

Part two of ‘The Studio’ will be coming out very soon! If you want a tag on upcoming parts, message or ask me! 

[shawnologist]

The Studio : Pilot

Note : Woo! This is it, my first series! To say I'm scared is an understatement, but I'm quite excited!

Synopsis : A longtime songwriter and photographer of Shawn get looped into being on a tv show about Shawn and his studio life.  

Warnings : (Cursing!!) This is inspired by the office (us), the episodes will be presented as a script, some parts are very fluffy whereas others are just full of angst and longing so :)

(Episode starts with you walking into the studio, your eyes widening at the number of cameras surrounding you. You walk over to Geoff, to ask about all the cameras, but all you receive is a shrug.)

Y/N - Hey Shawn, what’s up with the cameras?

Shawn - Some kind of ‘rising popstar’ documentary or something. (Shawn uses air quotes around “rising pop star”)

Y/N - Oh, okay.

(INTERVIEW WITH SHAWN)

Shawn - I’m sorry, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

Director - Just say your name, what you do, and maybe some other things.

Shawn - Do we have to do this? It’s kind of a waste of time, I mean, I hope people already know who I am.

(Shawn nervously scratches the back of his neck, fiddling with a small yellow bracelet on his wrist.)

Director - Shawn, just do it.

Shawn - Fine um, I’m Shawn Mendes, I’m a singer/songwriter here for Island Records, I play the guitar and piano, and yeah.

(END OF INTERVIEW WITH SHAWN)

(Scene cuts to the songwriting crew, Geoff, and Shawn in the main space, all tired and groggy. You slept on Shawn’s shoulder, who was trying his best to stay still and not disturb you.)

Andrew - Alright guys! Album 3, starts today!

(Small, awkward cheers came from around the room, waking you up from your small nap, everyone still tired and groggy and in clear need of sleep or coffee.)

Harry - Well, I’m gonna go make a coffee run, anyone need anything?

Geoff - The usual.

Shawn - Coffee, please!

Tina - I’m okay.

Anna - Coffee for me too.

Y/N - Oolong tea would be great.

Harry - Alright! I’ll be back in a jiff.

(INTERVIEW WITH Y/N)

Y/N - Alright um, I’m Y/N. I’m a songwriter here, I also moonlight as Shawn’s photographer. I basically get paid to follow him around. (you look away from the camera to think how odd that sounded.) I’m sorry, did that sound stalker-ish? (you put a hand over your lips to think some more.)

Director - No! That’s perfect, thanks.

(END OF INTERVIEW WITH Y/N, INTERVIEW WITH SHAWN)

Shawn - She said she gets paid to follow me around? (Shawn chuckles, looks down, bites his lip, and shakes his head, his face reddening) It’s a uh- small joke between us. (Shawn gazes beyond the camera to you giggling with Geoff, looking as if he were in a dream with a small smile on his lips.)

(END OF INTERVIEW WITH SHAWN)

(scene cuts to Andrew walking into the writing room to see Anna and Tina looking at a laptop with scrunched eyebrows and harry with numerous paper balls around him.)

Andrew - Come on guys! You guys should have at least two songs done by now with the pace you had when you guys wrote for illuminate, we’re counting on you.

Harry - I’m sorry Andrew but, we really don’t know what to do.

Anna - We’ve been looking up love quotes for the past hour and we still have nothing. 

(Scene cuts to you sitting next to Shawn, scribbling in your notebook, lyrics flowing out of you as Shawn peered over your shoulder and read them. The camera was obviously hidden from you two, for Shawn stopped reading the lyrics and just stared at you. You kept mindlessly scribbling, deciding to call the song ‘Hopelessly In Love’. Your focus was solely on the song, but Shawn’s was on you and you could barely even tell. Shawn eventually noticed the cameras and looked away from you and back to his guitar.)

Andrew - Y/N? Shawn? Anything?

Y/N - Well, I’ve got only two songs that aren’t edited, but that’s really it.

Andrew - Yes! Yes! Good, okay. What about you Shawn?

Shawn - I’ve just been fooling around with my guitar, trying to find a melody.

Andrew - Alright!

(INTERVIEW WITH ANDREW IN HIS OFFICE)

Andrew - I am Shawn’s manager. It’s very hard for him to take me seriously, (cuts to scenes of Shawn looking straight down at him and laughing) seeing as he’s almost a foot taller than me but- (Andrew looks away from the camera, disappointed in himself, and looks back up to the camera, blinking rather slowly and then mumbles) I don’t see why we have to do this goddamn show it’s just making me feel fuckin’ worse than I already feel. (Andrew stands up, walking out of the office and slamming the door.)

(Scene cuts back to you and Shawn in the other writing room. Geoff is now with you, he is playing the electric guitar whilst Shawn was singing the lyrics. There was a small ukulele in your one hand, a pencil in your ear, and your hair was messily in a bun.)

Y/N - Yes! That sounds great, okay, woo!

Shawn - The melody you picked out is great, it really makes the song uh- more emotional.

Geoff - It’s also so easy, which will be very good for concerts and shit, good job!

Y/N - Thanks! I should get going, I’m gonna go grab something to eat... you guys wanna come?

(You turn to grab your jacket giving  Shawn time to signal Geoff not to come and Geoff nods.)

Shawn - Yeah! I’ll just grab a jacket, we can take my car.

Y/N - Geoff?

Geoff - I’m okay, thanks though.

(Shawn stands up, grabs his coat from the coat hanger, and walks out of the second writing room with you, his hand resting on the small of your back.)

Tina - Is ‘loverly’ a word? 

Anna - Tina for the last time, no. Neither is darlingly, genorositily, or fondnessness. 

Tina - Is ‘atatchmentness’ one?

(Anna puts her head in her hands, lifting her head only to look at the camera with an impatient face.)

Harry - Tina, sweetie, shut up.

(Tina glares at Harry, mumbling to herself whilst researching more love quotes.)

(INTERVIEW WITH ANNA, HARRY, AND TINA)

Harry - I’m Harry.

Anna - I’m Anna!

Tina - And I’m Tina.

Harry - We are also the wonderful songwriters here besides the two lovers.

(The trio giggle)

Tina - They’re totally gonna fuck.

(Scene cuts to you and Shawn at a chipotle, laughing and talking, Shawn barely keeping his eyes off of you.)
