A couple days of settling in has passed and you and the cast found yourselves going through the costume styling and hairstyling. As Tim discussed the haircut with the stylist you sat in the styling chair, ready for the haircut. You trusted Tim's vision for the character of Archie, understanding that sometimes the right look can enhance the portrayal of a role.
The stylist draped a protective smock around your shoulders, As the first strands of hair fell, you couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. It was a change from your usual look, but you were committed to bringing Archie to life in the most authentic way possible.
Tim stood by, offering feedback and guidance to ensure the haircut aligned with the character's personality. The stylist worked slowly, shaping the hair to match Tim's idea.
You stole glances at yourself in the mirror, watching as the familiar strands were replaced by a shorter, edgier style. It wasn't your preference, and a part of you cringed at the thought of stepping out with this new look. you knew it was a necessary step. The process continued, and soon, the distinct look for Archie emerged.
Tim, noticing you cringing in the mirror "I know it's different, but trust me, this is what Archie needs. It adds to his personality." The discomfort lingered, but beneath it was a sense of determination but that soon went out the window as you heard giggle's from behind you, you turn around to see the cast taking in your new haircut "awww you look adorable Y/n"
You couldn't help but feel a blush rise to your cheeks as Emma's comment was met with laughter from the rest of the cast. The unexpected attention intensified your initial discomfort.
"Thanks, I guess," you mumbled, running a hand through the shorter strands in an attempt to get used to the new feel. The cast, however, seemed genuinely excited about the change.
"Seriously, it suits you!" Joy chimed in, and Jenna added, "Yeah, it's you a new look," Jenna said quietly. However Hunter, couldn't resist an opportunity for a joke.
"Looks like someone's getting a soft spot for this new look,'" he teased, earning an eye roll from Jenna. Emma grabbed her phone "Hold on, I need to capture this for the world to see" you didn't try to play along you just crossed your arms and looked at the camera defeated as Jenna giggled at your annoyed face
you felt a buzz in your pocket and looked at you phone and there it was, her post
"ok i will admit i look like I'm over it" you laughed to distract yourself
"any way I'm up for my styling" Jenna says going into the stylist room with Tim and after a half an hour of wardrobe changing and completed hairstyles Jenna sends a picture to the group chat.
(close up of her photo)
a couple more minutes go by and you and Jenna were ready for the photoshoot,
As the photoshoot began, you and Jenna seamlessly slipped into character,.
The photographer guided you through various, capturing the chemistry between Archie and Wednesdays. The camera clicked, freezing moments that would soon become promotional material for the highly anticipated series.
after a bit you were finished and came out with multiple pictures and even a small photoshoot for just your own characters, Jenna got to film stuff as Wednesday reacting to trends for the Netflix's Instagram.
hours later
(ignore the crappy image)
looking at the post you took that as a sign to post your promotion for the show
you looked through the comments "see you in Romania? you trying to trick the fans jenna? we're already here" as you said that jenna posted hers taking your post as the go ahead
"well that's a wrap for today" you sighed to yourself " yeah your right" hunter says "tomorrow's the first day of filming aren't you excited?" you look at him confused "are you kidding me this is literally a dream come true, working with Tim burton you know" you say "true well get a good nights rest man, we'll be out of the Airbnb and will be living in trailers for a while" hunter says going off to his room before closing the door
you see Jenna walking down the stairs and as soon as she made eye contact and waved you looked away and went straight to your room "umm. rude much?" she joked with fake attitude as you shut the door collapsing on to your bed "I'm tired Jenna, that's all" yeah say through the door as she had a troubled look before grabbing her water and going back upstairs.
she started messaging Georgie
"that wasn't much help" she says to herself
Jenna ends up falling asleep with a lingering feeling that she had said or done something to you
(going into Jenna POV)
as the sun beamed through the curtains onto your face, your eyes flickered open before you rolled over to the other side of the bed getting out. you began getting dressed for the first day of shooting. when you were done you exited the room with your belongings and met up with the rest of your housemates "you slept in, are you all good?" hunter says with a hint of concern, you were always one to be ready first "uh yeah I'm fine, just... never mind, is there any coffee left?"
"yeah here ill go make you some" Catherine offers as she went over to the kitchen and poured you some coffee, "where's Y/n?" you asked " he's all ready and is waiting outside. i think he's on a call with his parents so I'd leave him alone" as hunter says this you tilt your head to see Y/n through the front window with his head in his palm as he spoke on the phone, he looked upset? no he looked disappointed or defeated you didn't know what he was feeling "doesn't look like a friendly call to me" you say as Catherine handed you a nice cup of coffee.
"yeah i didn't believe him when he said it was he parents, because as soon as he saw who was calling him his chill demeanor dropped into a cold sternness, my guess is it's someone he doesn't fancy or a jealous ex" you look at the young man confused "jealous ex? Olivia?" you said as he shows you a post a girl made on twitter that seems to be gaining traction
your stomach dropped, why was your friend being so petty she knows its pretend righ-oh wait she's probably seen all the rumors "yeah that's jealousy, but why does she have to be so petty"
You couldn't help but feel a mixture of frustration and concern as you heard Y/n continued his conversation on the phone. The fact that she took the matter to social media, adding unnecessary drama, was irritating. Y/n entered the room, and you could see the strain on his face.
"Hey, is everything okay?" you asked, trying to keep your voice low.
Y/n sighed, running a hand through his new hair. "Yeah, just don't know why she did it we broke up ages ago."
"at least she didn't write a song about it" hunter joked but it was true
Y/n nodded, "Yeah, she saw the promo and decided to stir the pot. I'm trying to talk some sense into her, but she's not making it easy."
You could hear the frustration in Y/n's voice. The unnecessary drama was certainly not what any of you needed, especially when trying to focus on the upcoming show. "Do you want us to handle it? Maybe post a joint statement or something to clear the air?" you suggested,
Y/n shook his head. "No, it's fine. I'll deal with it. but if you want to clear thing's on your end you can"
The petty jab about being a second choice stung, especially since it was far from the truth Y/n doesn't think of you like that. You glanced over at Y/n,
"Sheesh," Hunter commented, scrolling through the responses to Olivia's tweet. "Looks like the internet is eating this shit up."
time passed and you were all ready to leave as the SUV pulled up taking you to the destination, it was more forests and a rural area but everything about it was mystical the way the fog lifted from the ground and the mossy stones and all the old buildings, you saw where all the trailers were parked and hopped out one by one moving your stuff in before going to the set.
you all sat for the last script rehearsal for the scenes you'd be doing today and quickly got to work. "ok so filming this wont be as easy as we wont be filming anything in order, we could be filming the end of the show first, so just giving a heads up" Tim says
"i thought so" Emma started " why else would we be filming Enid and archie first" Tim gets behind the camera " are we all ready?" multiple stage crew and camera men replied "yes sir we're all good" "here we go Emma, Y/n lets go" Tim says
you watched as they began their scene
(acting)
The clouds and fog blocked the light and sun from shining through the twisted branches of the forest as Y/n and Emma stepped into their characters,
As the scene unfolded, Archie's deranged state led him in to a goose chase he was convinced someone was watching him . His eyes darted around, lost in a world only he could see. Enid approached cautiously, her voice soft yet assertive. "Archie, it's okay. You're safe. No one's here."
Archie's breaths came in erratic bursts, his telekinetic powers manifesting in small, chaotic movements around him bursting tree branches of the trees. Enid took a step closer, her eyes reflecting concern. "You're not alone, Archie. I'm right here. you need to come to your senses."
Enid attempted to reach out and calm him. Suddenly, he turned to her with a look of fear, using his telekinesis to push her into a tree. She stumbled backwards.
"Archie, please," Enid pleaded, regaining her composure. "Think about Wednesday. Remember how she helped you find peace. I know you care for her, and I'm telling you she does too."
The mention of Wednesday seemed to cut through Archie's confusion. His eyes flickered, and for a moment, the chaos in his mind subsided as he darted his eyes. Enid seized the opportunity to approach him cautiously," Archie, no one is here okay, it's all in your head."
(end of acting)
"and cut, brilliantly done you two" Tim shouts
you couldn't help but really admire Y/n the way he can just switch personalities, he's always had great performance's you remembered hearing that his acting saved crappy movies before every one gave a round of applause for the two as Emma jumped into y/n for a hug
"WOOHOO!" go Y/n Percy shouts with Georgie cheering next to him
"hey what about me?" Emma shouts with fake hurt " oh don't get us wrong your very brave for doing your own stunt and your acting was very good, but come on, it was scary watching Y/n he made me genuinely think he was going through an unstable collapse in his mind or some shit " hunter hugs Emma
================================================================================(2102 words)
