"thanks for dropping me off." i say to austin as i get out of the black suv baz is renting for us.

"anytime, i'll come by later anyways." he reply's and i nod my head.

"alright, bye."

"bye." he says and i shut the door.

i walk into the large dance studio that's reserved for me to learn the dance moves in the 'viva las vegas' scene that will be in the movie.

my hair is pinned back into a slick bun and i have grey baggy pants and a black, off the shoulder, sweater on.

when i get to the front desk the receptionist sees me and stands up, "hello, your instructor is waiting for you in the back." she says and i nod.

"okay thanks." i say as i begin to walk down the long hallway and into the back room.

mary, my instructor, is sitting in a chair waiting for me.

"hey mary." i say as i set my bag down on the small table.

"hey thea, you ready to get started?" she jumps up from her chair and asks.

"yes of course." i reply.

"great i'll play the music and i'll show you what you need to learn and once you see i'll pretend i'm austin and we can practice together." she states and i smile.

"okay."

baz wants to skip all the little scene with me in them and start with the bigger ones so the viva las vegas one is next and i'm really excited for it.

i sit down in her chair and she presses play on the radio before scurrying over to the other side of the room, and she begins the routine.

i mouth the words to the song while she dances and i focus on what i have to learn.

it all seems pretty easy and i think i can get it down fast enough.

when she finishes she runs back over to where i am and presses play on the radio again.

"i'll do it one more time and then we can do it together!" she says and runs back over to the wall with a large mirror on it.

me and mary have been finished the lessons for about thirty minutes but she's such a fun person that we kind of got sidetracked and ended up sitting in the middle of the floor talking in these priscilla costumes we put on to get more in the mood.

she's an older lady, if i could guess late forties, but that doesn't stop her snappy attitude or the way she moves.

she's very wholesome and kind, and i love when she tells me story's about other actors she's taught.

interrupting us, the door to the studio opens and austin walks in.

he sees us sitting on the ground and begins to walk over with a curious look spread on his face.

i stand up and so does mary, "hey sorry we got sidetracked." i say and mary nods.

"it's fine i just got here." he answers.

"you wanna see my routine?" i ask with a hopeful look on my face and austin smiles.

"why not?" he answers and mary claps.

"great!" she says and we all walk over to where the radio is.

austin sits in the chair next to the table and i hand him my phone, "here, record for us." i say and he nods, taking the phone from my hands.

i begin to run over to the wall and mary presses play, before running over as well.

the music comes on and we begin our routine, it's pretty simple but it's fun.

then as we make our way back to austin the music ends and me and mary are still dancing and laughing.

"viva las vegas, do do do doo do dooo." we sing and shuffle back and forth.

austin is still recording us but there is a smile on his face as he watches.

when we finish he sets the phone down and stands up, clapping his hands and me and mary connect hands while bowing.

"thank you, thank you very much." i say in my best elvis impression and austin laughs.

"y'know i think baz should've casted you as elvis instead." austin says and i smile, flicking the fake hair of my wig over my shoulder.

"nah i was made to play cilla." i say and mary chuckles next to me.

"that you were."

im sitting on the couch next to austin and the facetime is ringing.

i really don't care if he hears the conversation most of it will probably be in french anyways.

my mom answers and her and my dads face pops up on my phone, it looks like they're sitting next tot each other on the couch or something.

perfect.

"hi mama, papa." i say and moms face lights up with a smile.

"hi sweetie." mama says while my dad just waves from behind her cause it looks like she's holding up the phone really close to her face.

i breath out a laugh.

"guess what?" i ask and my mom tilts her head.

"quelle?" they both say in unison and i smile.

(what?)

"J'ai trois billets pour l'Australie, je vous emmène ici, papa et charlotte." i say and my mom freezes while my dad takes the phone out of her hand and speaks to me in really fast french that i can hardly understand. (i got three tickets from there to australia, i'm flying you, papa, and charlotte out here."

"papa calm down." i laugh and he stops talking, but starts chuckling.

my mom snatches the phone out of his hands and smiles. "quand est-ce que je peux te voir?" she asks.

"one week." i answer.

(when do i get to see you?)

"oh! une semaine? je dois commencer à emballer." mama says and my smile grows, knowing her, she definitely does.

(oh! one week? i need to start packing)

"est-ce qu'austin est là?" she asks and i roll my eyes.

of course she asked me that, she loves him more than me. and next to me i see austin's head perk up at the sound of his name.

(is austin there?)

"Oui maman." i answer and i turn the phone so it can see austin.

he looks confused and then smiles when he sees my mom.

"hi jackie."

"aww hi austin did you hear? i'm coming in one week!" mom says and i sigh, just handing him the phone so they can talk.

he gladly accepts it and i just listen to their conversation while skimming over the book in my lap.
