❛        (        the  beach  was  an  amazing  sight  right  about  now,  the  beauty  of  the  sunset  across  the  horizon  was  this  sight  that  brought  a  sense  of  normalcy  to  stryker.    to  see  a  beauty  like  that  was  everything,  to  see  the  mixture  of  colours  grace  the  sky  and  most  importantly  the  serenity.    he  spends  a  good  part  of  his  life  on  the  beach  because  of  his  profession,  “  you  ever  think  about,  what  if  everything  was  different  ?    what  if  you  weren’t  who  you  are  now  ?    what  if  you  missed  that  one  moment  in  your  life  ?    do  you  ever  think  about  all  the  what  ifs  ?  ”  he  asked,  his  eyes  still  focused  on  the  horizon  with  fingers  digging  into  the  cool  sand.

spending the afternoon at the beach with his friends, he’d made his excuses and was walking back to his car when he noticed the other figure on the beach. “not really.” the question was on the deep side, and deep wasn’t like he wanted to dwell on. more so when things seemed to be stranger than normal at home. “do you?” he questioned, reasoning turning the question back on him wasn’t going too far.

     “  𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 ,  𝐘𝐄𝐒 .  𝐈 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓  a  lot  on  interviews , ”  he  replies  cheekily .  and  he  isn’t  lying .  that  sort  of  comments  he  had  been  spilling  to  the  ackerman  boy  would  have  never  left  his  mouth  if  they  had  been  in  public ,  percy  knows  better  than  that .  there’s  a  face  for  every  situation .  somestimes  too  many  of  those .  “ no ,  dude ,  no .  baseball  is  the  single  best  sport  out  there , ”  he  shakes  his  head .  it  was  his  second  passion ,  after  all .  “ to  be  fair ,  if  you  get  hit  with  a  baseball  you’re  fucked  too . ”

“you can love baseball, but i’m going to stick with football. at least i didn’t try to say something like... badminton is the best sport. if i tried to claim that, i wouldn’t blame you if you stopped talking to me.” they may joked more times than he could count that they would stop talking to each other, but he’d never thought it was close to serious. serious wasn’t their default setting, at least not together. “see? baseball is out to get people, i don’t need that in my life. i injure myself enough without adding to it.”

After a busy week of filming, Ivy finally had a day off and chose to simply spend it relaxing at home. Surprisingly (or not), it seemed no one else was there. Walking in the living room though, she found her brother on the couch.  ❝ Thought the house was ghost town for a minute. ❞ the actress joked, chuckling lightly as she let herself fall on the couch. “ Just put Raine to bed for her nap. Wanna watch a movie or something?  ”

lately it seemed as if their house was a ghost town. as though they couldn’t all be home at the same time without something spontaneously combusting, which was why his sister’s voice caught him off guard. “it is a ghost town. didn’t you see casper on your way in?” he joked back, trying to mask the discomfort at how much their home seemed like a ghost town. “have i ever said no to movies? let me rephrase, have i ever said no to movies as long as there’s snacks involved?”

“auditions are pretty nerve racking though interviews come a close second to them.” she shrugged. relle wasn’t the biggest fan of auditions especially since she tends to overthink and her self doubt just seems to implode during those moments. relle smiled before nodding her head. “i reckon you would look amazing with a blue streak in your hair. you can make it the latest trend.” she giggled.

“that’s the problem.” he mock sighed. “i’d look so amazing with a blue streak in my hair, it’d make other people feel bad that they wouldn’t look as good. i don’t want to walk around making everyone feel bad about themselves, so i can’t get any streaks. it’s a godforsaken pity if you ask me.”

      his head shifted toward the other male that approached, curious and annoyed at first but then his demeanor relaxed when he listened to him. he was thankful that he didn’t immediately step in and ask questions, plus the person who had approached him seemed to get the idea and turned to leave. “sorry ‘bout that,” tomas spoke after a few moments in silence, “some people just can’t mind their own business. guess that’s not something i can get used to.”

he’d been hoping the third person would walk away before things could escalate, but he’d been preparing for the worst. he was more accustomed to people trying to get a rise out of someone, than walking away, which made it a pleasant surprise when a situation didn’t reach the highest level of crazy. “doesn’t seem like you were the one to start it.” he pointed out when tomas apologised. “I can’t tell you how often i’ve wanted to hit someone who wouldn’t leave things well enough alone. it’s as if people think knowing who you are, gives them a right to have an opinion on your life. it’s logic i don’t want to ever understand. you okay now?”

“has anyone mentioned how down to earth you are?” he asked, forcing back the urge to laugh at the other’s comments. it wasn’t as though comments like that were unheard of around town, and with how famous most people were, it wouldn’t be too surprising if the claims were true. “i don’t know, i think i’d go with soccer over baseball. might be because i’m always worried someone is going to let the bat go during baseball. i’d take being hit with a ball over a bat any day of the week.”

anyone have any plans tonight that don’t involve drinking till you puke your guts out? seems like social media is unhelpful. 

“you don’t want to spend your time drinking way too much? shocking. i was going to find a 24 hour movie theatre and stay there all night, that’s.. something that doesn’t involve any puking. unless you eat too much candy, which is a possibility.”

rachel could not help but laugh at the comment. “Of course, if you wanna meet him I could try see what I can do.” the blonde said with a smile and then listened to him again. “You are probably right about that, maybe it’s just me who is over with the show already.”

“you’re a true hero.” he chuckled as she went along with the joke. thinking over the next words, he finally worked out what he wanted to say. “i think it’s easier for people to work on projects to move on. you had to put the work in, they got to sit back and enjoy it, makes it easier to remember it fondly.”

narelle laughed before nodding her head. “okay, fair. makes sense.” she said in between her laughs, smiling at the other. the brunette female continued to laugh before tilting her head to the side, thinking about it for a moment. “why thank you, being super creative is part of the job.” she laughed. “though, i don’t think i am that talented as barbie to have every job on the planet, let alone make it past the first stage of the interview process but hair colours? hmmm… maybe? you think i’ll look okay with like a massive pink streak in my hair?”

“the lack of interview process is my favourite thing about youtube, who has the energy for interviews?” it was the one part of applying for actual chef jobs that he wasn’t looking forward to, but that wouldn’t happen for another few years. “not as good as i’d look with a massive pink streak in my hair, but a close second. maybe blue too, can’t go wrong with blue.”

   “Why do everyone keep asking me if I can let them meet Scooby Doo. even after all this time. C’mon we all know dogs can’t talk.” she said and chuckled lightly. “Plus I am no longer Buffy, sometimes people just really can’t move on. this world is crazy.” she said smiling.

“cause scooby doo is timeless? are you telling me you won’t introduce me to him?” he knew it didn’t require an answer, but the joke was right there, no matter how bad it was. “it means people still love your work after it’s finished, i’d say that was a pretty cool thing. not something everyone can say, most times now it seems people grow to hate a show before it ends.”

“hey, cooking is a pretty good choice. you are practically enjoying something that can be fun and is actually a necessity to living.” narelle smiled, nodding her head. realising what she said in order to describe ‘fashion’ videos, the brunette let out a laugh. “oh !!  well i mean… you seen how little girls play with barbie dolls. we switch out her clothes like crazy and make her do like… girly things. honestly thats just what fashion and lifestyle videos are like, though i don’t think i would look good as a blonde.”

“i went into cooking solely because it’s a necessity to living, had nothing to do with having an excuse to eat a lot because i had to check what i made was edible.” a look of realisation flashed on his face as she explained the comment. “you should try and make that catch on, any fashion and lifestyle creators i know don’t describe it in as great a way as you just did. don’t you get brunette barbies now? she’s had every job on the planet, why not every hair colour?”

         “ been just about FOUR MONTHS since it happened, mate — move on, ”  his green eyes roll in annoyance ( and a hint of embarrassment ) when the mention of his biggest FAILURE was brought up yet again. was this the only thing they’d remember him by, despite the accomplishments that outnumbered it? it just didn’t seem fair that this defined him now — he used to be so proud of the person he was. “ i suggest you back off, m’not in the mood for that shit today. ”

stopping when he heard the tail end of what seemed to be a tense conversation, he moved towards the others without truly thinking about it. he’d witnessed one too many fights lately to not try and intervene. “maybe you should... take a walk? somewhere... not here?” he spoke, directing the words to the person who’d apparently said the wrong thing at the wrong time. “or do what he says and move on. from... whatever happened.”

“it is but it’s not like i’ve never screwed up before - i put a movie a whole day behind on shooting because i showed up to work hung over.” it had not been a pretty day and she had tried to make it work but she had only made it through a few takes of one scene before she had been sick. “right? and it can literally be used for any meal of the day. a few more things would work though, it might make a healthier selection.” 

“damn, you must have been the most popular person that day.” he replied, amusement obvious in his voice. he was sure she wasn’t anywhere close to the first person to show up drunk, and that made joking about it seem okay. “sometimes you need to fake being healthy, to make yourself feel better. i will admit my favourite recipes involve far too much sugar, but those are the best things to eat.”

“know any middle eastern billionaires?” he quipped, though he wouldn’t be surprised if the answer he got was ‘yes’. most people around town seemed to travel more than him, which would give them more chance to meet important people. “can you imagine buying sports teams just because you were bored and wanted something to do? it’s a dream really.”

“i just found out that the leafy part of a strawberry is called a calyx… and honestly?? it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.“ the blonde muttered, running a hand through her hair. “i don’t think i’ll ever look at a strawberry the same again.”

“i.. don’t get it. why would that make you feel uncomfortable?” he asked, looking over at her as if he could guess by her facial expression.

“okay, you’re an actual genius. you were smart enough to make food your job. my job is pretending to be other people and also be my own personal barbie.” she said, giving him a smile. “although both are great, i still think food is the better route.”

“i did think about pretending to be other people for a living, but i’m not as good at that, so cooking it was.” he chuckled, despite it being true. he wasn’t the worst actor, but compared with his family he knew he’d never meet their talent, so he made his own path. “never heard anyone describe themselves as a personal barbie, are you trying to start a new trend?”

she smiled at andrew as he stepped up to take her spot at the stove, gently ruffling his hair as she moved to sit at the countertop. “i think it might be difficult, we might have to extend to twent minutes and we’ll be leaving a lot of stuff out, but everybody will enjoy it, so it’ll be worth it.” it was getting harder by the minute to keep a smile on her face, and isabelle itched to text her husband asking when he was going to come home, but she didn’t. clearly, he didn’t want to see her, and that was something she was going to have to come to terms with. “you say that now, then you find the right person. that’s exactly what i was saying when i met your dad and here we are twenty-three years later,” and maybe not for much longer. “i am about a hundred percent certain you don’t because otherwise we would have both of you.”

“you and dad are different. i can’t imagine meeting someone right now and staying with them forever. i don’t think many people can, you two were the exception.” or he had a slightly idealised version of his parent’s relationship, but they’d been through enough that he was almost positive they could get through anything, however tough things might get. “but if you adopted both of us, i could never have a parent trap moment.” at that point, he wasn’t sure how long he could keep saying ridiculous things to try and keep her smiling, but he felt like someone had to. stepping away from the stove once he was done with everything he could do in that moment, he turned to face her again. “why don’t we ask everyone when the next time they’re free is? have a family day? i’m sure everyone could use one.”
