" Rise and shine!" A voice woke JoJo from her dreamless sleep.
" How did-" She looked up to see Josh, Ben, and Sky standing over her bed.
" How did you get in here?" She mumbled sleepily.
" We have our ways." Josh smirked.
" You did not go in through the balcony." She shot up, rubbing her eyes.
" Ben you told her about that." Sky look betrayed.
" What? It's a funny story." Ben argued.
" Yeah yeah. Anything to flirt." Josh raised his eyebrows. JoJo smirked, trying to hide her blush.
" So, what are you guys doing here?" JoJo climbed out of her bed and went for her drawers.
" We're bored." Josh flopped onto her bed.
" I'm sorry?" JoJo walked towards the bathroom.
" Entertain us!" Ben whined, plopping onto the bed next to Josh.
" I'm going to meet my family for lunch." JoJo shouted from the bathroom.
" But that's not until one. It's 8." Ben replied.
" You woke me up at 8 in the morning?" JoJo gasped dramatically.
" Yeah, yeah we did. Now back to us. We're important here." Josh said.
" We could go bowling." Sky offered.
" Bowling's no fun in the middle of the day." JoJo said, walking out of the bathroom in her day clothes.
" So, what do you advise?" Ben tilted his head towards her.
oOOo
" Whoo!" Josh shouted as he did a bundle of tricks and flips.
" A trampoline park. Why did I think of that?" Ben tapped his chin.
" Because you ain't as smart." JoJo sassed, running to do a roundoff back handspring.
" Oh my God its 12:25. We have to meet my family at 1." JoJo shouted, running off the trampolines.
" Wait! One more trick!" Ben called.
" Alright." She sighed. She watched as Ben did a roundoff, back handspring, triple tuck.
" Show off!" She called.
" Always." Ben smiled.
oOOo
" Josie!" Her mother shouted as she saw her daughter.
" Hi mom!" JoJo hugged her mother and father.
" Hey Jo!" Her two sisters hugged her.
" Lil sis." Her two older brothers smiled.
" Guys this is Ben. Ben this my parents, Martha and Joe. My brothers Henry and Michael. And my sisters Lillian and Elizabeth." JoJo said to the young man beside her.
" So, your in the show with our Josie?" Martha tilted her head.
" Yes ma'am and she did absolutely amazing last night!" Ben smiled.
He's cute. Elizabeth mouthed to her sister. JoJo shook her head, telling her to cut it out.
" That's good to hear." Joe smiled.
" So, what do you play, dear?" Martha asked as they sat at a table.
" I play Race, one of the Newsies." Ben replied.
" The one with a cigar?" Lillian asked.
" Yep, that's me." Ben nodded.
" So, you taking care of our sister?" Henry asked. JoJo kicked him not-so-smoothly under the table.
" Yes. We take care of all our cast mates." Ben nodded respectfully.
" And you have no intentions of hurting her?" Michael asked. JoJo sent a pleading look to her mother.
" Let's not bombard the boy with questions." Martha cut in.
" So, what's it like being on Broadway?" Elizabeth asked excitedly.
oOOo
" Sorry about my brothers. They can be a bit much." JoJo said as she and Ben walked towards the theatre.
" It's okay. Still can't be worse than Josh." Ben shrugged. JoJo laughed at that.
" And thank you." She smiled.
" What for?" He questioned.
" I've been here three days and your already making me feel like I'm part of the family." JoJo said as they walked up the steps of the theatre.
" Well, you're stuck with us." Josh appeared behind them, throwing his arms over their shoulders.
" Jesus!" Ben jumped back.
" Hey guys, how's it going." Josh smiled cheekily. JoJo laughed, elbowing him in the gut.
oOOo
" Places! Places!" The stage director called.
" Hey." A voice whispered behind JoJo.
She jumped to be basically nose to nose with Ben.
" Good luck." He smirked at her slightly flustered expression.
" You too." She managed to gain her composure enough to squeak out those words.
" Are you at a loss for words?" Josh threw his are dramatically over JoJo's shoulders.
" What-I-no." She stammered.
" Uh-huh." Josh nodded, giving her 'the look'.
" Shouldn't you be getting to your place?" JoJo shooed him away.
" Okay JoJo, I'll just go play JoJo." He chuckled at his lame excuse for a joke, running off to his spot.
" Actually, you're Darcy right now!" JoJo whispered after him.
-INTERMISSION-
" So far, so good. Make sure to get plenty of water now while we have some time!" The director shouted.
" Hey." Ben turned to JoJo who was sitting on the floor, water bottle in hand.
" Hi." She smiled up at him. He sat on the floor next to her.
" I'm tired." He yawned.
" I'm sorry. We have act two to do." She elbowed him.
" Hey, that rhymes." Ben smiled like a little child.
" What are you two up to?" Michael D smirked as he passed them.
" Nothing." JoJo replied, throwing her hat at him.
" Mine now!" He took off running.
" What? No!" JoJo jumped up, chasing him around the warm up room.
Seeing as they're dancers, the chase was rather entertaining. There was a lot of leaps and flips as Michael ran around with her hat.
" What are you doing?" Melissa yelled as she walked in. Michael stopped dead in his tracks, as did JoJo.
" I'm not gonna ask. I don't wanna know. Just Michael, give back her hat." Melissa sighed.
" What? We're just getting hyped up." Michael chuckled as he handed JoJo her hat, his Australian accent growing heavy.
" Just a bit of fun Mel." JoJo smirked.
" Uh-huh." Melissa shot them a warning look.
" Yes ma'am." Michael said quickly.
" Sorry MOM." JoJo nodded.
-AFTER SHOW-
" You did amazing!" Ben ran up to JoJo, giving her a hug.
" Thank you! You did amazing." She grinned.
" Meet me by the door." He took off.
oOOo
" Ready?" He grinned.
" Sure, why not?" JoJo smiled.
" I'm ready!" Josh jumped out of nowhere.
" Stop. Doing. That." She whacked him with every word.
" Sorry." He laughed.
" Let's go." She turned to Ben.
" After you." He held the door open for her.
" Why thank you." She mocked a British accent.
" Thank you kind sir." Josh said dramatically.
" Of course, age before beauty after all." Ben smirked.
" Hey, I may be old but at least I'm good-lookin." Josh replied.
" Not wrong." JoJo called as she walked to a fan. Ben looked astounded while Josh was peacocking.
oOOo
JoJo sat on her bed, watching the 100...again...for about the 100th time.
" JoJo!" A familiar voice called from her door.
" What?" She paused her show.
" Lemme in!" He begged. The door opened to reveal Ben with a pleading look on his face.
" What's up?" She smiled.
" Jeff is driving me crazy with Taylor Swift, can I hang here?" Ben begged.
" Don't you room with Josh?" She tilted her head.
" Yes but, Jeff decided to barge in and he hasn't left." Ben pouted.
" Okay, come on." She laughed, letting him in.
" Whatcha watching?" He asked, plopping onto her bed.
" The 100." She replied, returning to her spot.
" Never seen it." Ben shrugged.
" Well it's a good thing I'm rewatching from season 1." She smiled.
" Okay." Ben nodded, settling next to her.
About 16 seconds into the first episode, Ben started to ask questions.
" Who's that?"
" That's Clarke."
" Who's that?"
" Bellamy."
" And him?"
" Monty."
" And what about-"
" If you'll watch you'll find out."
" Okay....sorry."
" It's okay."
