Sienna Haven

"That sounds really cool, you should totally go for that. You did? I would make a pretty good girlfriend character, you're right," he teased, trying to ignore the prospect of them working together on something new. "Thank you, though. I'd appreciate that. My agent-," his mom- "Would definitely appreciate it too." Frankie pressed his lips together as she mentioned 'the rumours'. Should he have told his one no? "Yeah, those. Mine, uh, thinks we need to do something together. The three of us, I mean. Getting papped at a restaurant or an event. Drinks, coffee. Something like that."

[sienna-haven]

"Yeah, it should work around shooting, so I think we are. Oh yeah, and think about it, you would barely have to grow out your hair." Sienna laughed, Frankie playing a girlfriend character was an interesting idea. "Of course! Anytime." It was honestly kind of awkward, the stuff that was going on a lot. Neither of them had asked for any of this to happen. "Not a bad idea. I just kind of hate the idea of us having to do something like this because of a bunch of lies. We should do it soon."

[starring-frankie]

"Oh, absolutely. By the time we get to the 20 year reboot, they'll need a bigger cheque to fit all the zeros on it. Imagine what a big deal we'll be then, right? Fine, fine... Forgive me if I pretend I don't remember a thing about it," Frankie laughed. Truly, no one could get under his skin like Scottie Takeda. And yet, he still felt they were bonded for life. Forever interlinked. Like they were a part of something bigger than themselves. "A pretty big thing, you know."

Frankie raised an eyebrow as she spoke about her past boyfriends. Had they ever really talked about their past relationships before? He didn't know why he felt so interested and had to shake it off. "You never know, there might be someone with a paint brush in their back pocket in this very room. Sounds like a plan-," he started before he noticed Angela Hunter waving wildly at him to come over- "Damn, I think that's my cue. Catch you later?"

[sienna-haven]

"Yeah, by then I mean we will be a huge deal. Probably too many awards to even count by then. I wouldn't expect anything less from you." Sienna smiled as she looked at Frankie. The two of them were interesting. She had seen costars argue like that before, but they rarely had onscreen chemistry like Scottie and Frankie. "Explains all the onscreen chemistry between us."

"Oh, no." She shook her head at the idea of finding romance. Unless someone could actually sweep her off her feet, staying single was the plan for a long time. "I think my relationship status will be single for a very long time." She nodded as she saw Angie waving him down. "You better go! Yeah, good luck with your match. See you later."

"I appreciate you taking the hit. And hey, who'd know, right? You are kinda this big deal actor. That was it, oh my gosh. I don't think I'd manage to get any sentences out, lovable or otherwise, around someone like Jamie Park. Is she just, like, as awesome as she seems?" Jesse let out a nervous chuckle, shaking the thought. "Thank you for saying that, though. I really appreciate the offer. Maybe one day. Do you need anything? A drink or something?"

[sienna-haven]

"That is what everyone likes to say, not sure how I feel about that still. It isn't that overwhelming after a good few months of her presence. Yeah, she is kind of amazing. And not only is she as talented as you would expect, but she is also one of the best people I have ever met. It is kind of unfair." Sienna definitely thought people would love Jesse at one of those parties. Honestly, who wouldn't? "A drink would be great." She needed it. The post Gossip Girl had made earlier had blown up the party at the art gallery for her.

[jxmiepark]

"That's my girl," Jamie smiled fondly. She would encourage Sienna at every turn if she had to, there was nothing more heartwarming than watching her truly bloom. "Oh, wonderful! Do you miss home? A movie. That's so exciting, Sienna. You're going to be busy - just make sure to take some time out for yourself too. Sometimes you truly just need a moment to yourself. Reset, recharge, refill. Refill?" she asked, holding up the bottle that had been graciously brought over to their table with a grin.

"Oh, isn't it just? And there are so many wonderful guests, make sure you have a good loop of the room and meet everyone." Jamie let her mouth hang open at Sienna's suggestions before letting out a delighted laugh. "Well. I should have some sort of host privilege and pass this round. What do you mean, though? It's not because of the press, is it? Surely not. Unless...," she drifted, raising an eyebrow. No smoke without fire, right? Not in cases of the heart.

[sienna-haven]

Sienna knew Jamie wanted her to be more confident, but she didn't know how to explain it. She always felt it when she was acting or working. When it was just like this, she felt it all kind of drift away. "Yeah, this is the longest time I have ever been away from my dad. Work keeps him busy over there, and with everything here, I haven't gone home in a while. I know, but also I don't know if I should stop. I kind of always worry that it could all end tomorrow." She smiled at Jamie, she was excited to try anything Jamie had picked out.

"I promise I will make a loop, meet everyone I can." Sienna should have suggested different things to gossip about. But she figured it was fair that she would get to pass on it. "Fine." She saw Jamie raise an eyebrow at her. "I don't know, he just hasn't really spent any time with me since all the press started with the love triangle stuff. It's just dumb. We are friends." It was easy to say, but she didn't know how true it was.

[starring-frankie]

Frankie felt his guilt weighing him down like rocks in his shoes. He watched her look down into her glass, kicking himself for acting like such an asshole. It wasn't Sienna's fault. And it wasn't like anything was going on. In fact, it wasn't like anything was going on with him and Beth either, it was all just show (right?). Even as he thought it - about both of them - he knew it wasn't true. Denial was a great friend to have, though.

"Big shocker," he laughed. "She must have been hosting soirees since the crib. Huh? Oh, right. Yeah, Juliette invited me. Well, 'invite' is a loose term... it was more like 'be there or be a loser'. I think I'll swing by later on, Beth's already out there with her friends. Um, what about you?"

[sienna-haven]

Sienna had spent the last few weeks repeatedly telling everyone there was nothing between the two of them. They were supposed to just be friends and co-stars, but if that was true, then why did it feel like this? The tension and the awkwardness weren't coming just from the rumors.

"I honestly would be surprised if she had. She's just kind of good at everything." Sienna smiled at him. "Yeah, that sounds more like the way she would invite. My cousin invited me, and I need to actually do something besides work stuff. As fun as it all is, I need some kind of life."

[itsingridmontesmahdavi]

ingrid smiled and nodded "thanks, i appreciate it. i'd rather avoid the fire instead of having to put one out" now if that organiser tould keep to the plan then hopefully there wouldn't be any more dramas. everyone seemed to be well behaved this evening, and she was praying ti stayed that way. "those press junkets are no joke. scheduling jamie's and making sure it doesn't cross over with her other obligations has been a whole thing. that makes sense, you'll be fine to go. after a certain point in the evening the brat pack end up reminiscing. you don't need to be here for that"

[sienna-haven]

"I get that, your job is enough to do without people adding more that isn't needed." Sienna had hoped everything would go well, especially for Ingrid. That way, everyone could have some fun tonight, and she wouldn't get too stressed. "I can see that with her schedule being hard, I have been having a hard time managing it all. Between the press, the brands, and all the events. I don't even know how we have time to film a show. Not much to contribute with that unless I want them to actually know how much of a fan I am, which I do not."

[romanravenwood]

he hadn't been around the friday night bites lot long but he could appreciate that the cast and crew were solid. rebecca and the network had used that as a selling point considering he didn't have much patience for the useless. "it reminds me of sunset bay, it's got the potential to run for years. it could be a defining show for young actors careers if the showrunners play their cards right"

[sienna-haven]

Sienna had never expected to work again after being fired from her last show. Her career had seemed to end before it could take off. She had gotten lucky to get another shot, and she wanted to take steps to make sure she didn't waste it. "That's a pretty high compliment. I hope you are right. I think we would all love to have anything close to Sunset Bay on our resumes."

[originalcuddlyporcupine]

"You're so smart, Sienna. This is why they pay you the mega bucks... Did you want to do that now? The whole food-and-water, thing? Wait, weren't you supposed to be at some big celebrity party tonight?" Her thoughts were all over the place but she definitely gasped when Sienna slandered karaoke! "What. No way, c'mon. Karaoke makes everything better. Aw, thank you back."

[sienna-haven]

"Plus the talent, but the brain is good too. Yeah, let's go grab some food. I am hungry. The art gallery was fun, but it was mellowing out." Sienna wasn't being honest, she had kind of abandoned the party after the Gossip Girl blast. She needed to be somewhere that wasn't all her colleagues and peers. "If people can actually sing, I guess. But usually it's so bad. Sorry, it's the theater kid in me, I judge singing harshly."

[itsoliviaburke]

"i know they were quite rambunctious during their earlier years. they caused some stirs and dramas. they're all so cool, no wonder everyone adores them" it must've been nice to have that support system around "that's the kind of move i pull" she smiled "that make up team will likely know their plans for you if the show decided to turn you. they'll have the look perfected"

[sienna-haven]

"Probably a bit easier to get away with stuff back then for them, now I can't get a drink without someone taking a picture. They are very cool, you can feel it when you are with them." Sienna smiled at Olivia. "See, that's a good way of looking at it. I can't wait for the day personally. Are you working on anything right now?"

[romanravenwood]

it helped to keep cast and crew on side but with long days and small sets, sometimes things came to a head. tensions were bound to show up every now and again "jamie and rebecca run a tight ship. they wouldn't sign onto a project unless they were confident in their cast and crew. take the win, sienna"

[sienna-haven]

Sienna appreciated the things she had learned from the more experienced members of the cast. She definitely had standards now too, she knew how she wanted a set she was on to be run. "I am happy to have them leading that ship. I am taking all the wins I can get with this show. I don't think it could be going any better."

[romanravenwood]

"there's no offence, the cast and crew are huge." keeping track of everyone on a cast and crew was a daunting task in itself on any set your worked on. he didn't plan on sticking around. once his contract was up then he was gone "it keeps you on your toes and gives you experience of quick changes but you don't want to be an constant state of changes. firday night bites is run like a tight ship. if i know my sister and the brat pack, they wouldn't settle for anything less"

[sienna-haven]

Sienna shrugged, he wasn't wrong about that. She tried her best to know everyone's name. Even the guest stars. "It will definitely end up helping me if I ever need to improv." She nodded her head. "Yeah, I definitely think they helped a lot. Not like most of us know what a professional set is supposed to be."

[walker-on-sunshine]

"Sienna's right, it's practically been decades since we last saw each other. I'll have to be stolen," he apologised to them, turning to Sienna with a very grateful smile. "Steal away." He followed her far enough away that they were out of earshot before letting out a laugh. "Thank you so much for that, I was worried I wasn't gonna make it. It's great to see you! Didn't you have that other thing today too?"

[sienna-haven]

Sienna smiled back at him, happy to help get Jesse away. She hoped that his admirer wasn't too mad at her. She smiled at him. "No problem! I am happy to save you even if I have to lie." She walked next to him, nodding. "Yeah, the art gallery with Jamie and all her friends. It was cool, you have to come to one of these things with me. Everyone would love you!"

[itsoliviaburke]

"she is, and i love that the brat pack are all still together after all these years. it's cute that they all grew up together." olivia could only hope that her friendships in the industry could last up to even a fraction of the brat pack. "the projects you don't think people will care about are the ones that usually take off into something huge. they haven't even let you try the make up? that sucks."

[sienna-haven]

"It is pretty cool, not many people can say that they have a strong group of friends that all made it big. I can only imagine the stories that they have together." Sienna hoped that one day that would be her and the rest of the cast. She already felt so close to both Frankie and Scottie. "I guess I have to never expect anything to take off and I will have nothing but success. They want to save it for when they can put it on social media without people freaking out. I will get it one day, the makeup team loves me."

"Um, let's see... There was- Oh! And then there was-...," she trailed off, counting on her fingers before shaking her head and laughing. "You know what, let's just say enough. I think I'm dangerously close to doing something sensible, sober, me will regret. You are beautiful though, Sienna. This much is true."

[sienna-haven]

Sienna smiled as she watched Tessa try to count her drinks, she was definitely too far gone at this point. "I am sure it is enough, but after some water and food, maybe we can do more. At least there isn't karaoke. That would make it so much worse." She laughed. "Thank you, so are you, Tess!"

[romanravenwood]

"you're good. by the time you remember, my stint of your show will probably be done" he'd agreed to a guest spot and a guest spot only as a favour to his sister and the network. as much as friday night bites was doing well as a show it wasn't his place - the rest of the brat pack belonged there, not him "i've had jobs like that before, they're writing monologues on napkins and giving you five minutes to learn it. not every job is like it, kid. don't let it disillusion you"

[sienna-haven]

"Hopefully not! But you are probably right." Sienna had heard Roman was only doing a guest role, but she expected that to change. She knew how badly the network wanted the full brat pack involved. "That's exactly how it was. Kind of fun but too much chaos for me. It did for a while, having this show is helping me learn how a professional show is actually run."

[itsingridmontesmahdavi]

"cute" she noted at sienna's answer. like her boss, ingrid was a force to be reckoned with. especially when it came to someone messing something up that would affect jamie in any way. "it would go fine if the damn organiser would listen to the instructions they were given and avoided trying to take creative liberties, but that's been nipped in the bud now." it better have been or else ingrid was going to have another heated conversation with them "you must be, it's been a long season for you all. i hear the new scripts are due to be given out as well. no rest for the talented it seems. oh that sounds fun, i've spoken to a few other people are dipping out to head over there."

[sienna-haven]

Sienna smiled at Ingrid. She was happy that Jamie had someone as dedicated as Ingrid working for her. This party was perfect to her, and she was sure that was thanks to her. "Well, I will keep an eye out for any creative liberties and report them back to you. Promise." She prayed that they were done trying, or else Ingrid would definitely take care of it. "The press stuff has been a lot of it. I have been doing so many interviews. The season finale is coming up, a lot of big surprises, I bet. My cousin is helping throw the party, so I think I have to make an appearance."
