"O...okay." You say finally. "I guess I can do this."
"You're sure?" Ellen asks, worry dancing in her eyes.
"Yeah." You nod resolutely. "I mean...it's weird and I never thought I'd ever be in this position. But I can't leave you hanging when you need me. Besides," you flash her a grin, "it's not like I was ever planning to run for a political office anyway."
"Yahoo!" Amy shouts triumphantly, punching a fist into the air. "We knew we could count on you!"
"You are a life-saver, Scott." Marcie smiled warmly. The girls were all cheering and laughing and you can't help but feel good about yourself. They were all enthusiastic about screwing your brains out on film and that can't help but be a huge ego boost. You turn to Ellen and you're caught off-guard; she doesn't seem too happy. In fact, she seems kind of...disappointed.
"Elly?" You ask her softly. She notices you're staring at her and immediatly gives you a smile.
"Thanks, Scott." She hugs you tightly and presses her head against your chest. "I knew we could count on you. I knew I could count on you."
"So what do we do next?" You ask.
"Next we eat." Lynn speaks up. Several girls echo the sentiment. "Then we can go over the script. You're only here for a week, so we only have seven days of shooting available. We need to get started tonight."
"Tonight, huh?" You say, unable to wipe the grin from your face.
"Yup!" Amy said as the six of you head off to lunch. "Save your energy, Scott. You're going to be with me for the first scene." She winks. You laugh and grin all the way to eatery. As you sit down in a large semi-circle booth, you find yourself giddy and unable to hold back.
"So! What's this flick going to be about?"
