《Behind the Camera's (Hiddleston/Cumberbatch Fan Fiction) (Wattys 2014 #11)》Family reunion
Advertisement
I am going to see my family today. My mother and father life in Ipswich, that is where I am originally from although you could never tell because I don't have that accent. I moved to London at a tender age of 17 for University then decided I did not want to leave. it has been 7 years since I moved and I couldn't be happier.
My sister flew in last night from Australia with her Husband. My Brother who is 22 is also coming and a few uncles and aunts so I guess this is a big family reunion.
I have not seen my parents for just over 7 months, I talk to them over the phone but I just never get any time to come anymore.
I get into my new car, Jaguar XF, I was so surprised when I saw it at my door yesterday morning. I turns out my boss got me it, I have no ideas why because when I tried to phone him there is no answer. I thought about giving it back but then would he think me ungrateful?.
The drive is only 3 hours long. I am actually quite nervous, they think I am chasing a silly dream. They want me to go into law but I decided to follow my dream. Just they wait till they hear what's happening...
My sister is a doctor in Australia after she wan transferred we never saw much of each other it has been 3 years since we met in person, I was my brothers age.
My brother on the other hand is still in University, it is his last year. He want to teach art. He's always been a big fan of it. Most of the time when we were younger all I would see him do would be sketching or painting something.
When i get there my brother has also just arrived.
My brother had to look twice to make sure it was me.
" Where did you get those wheels" he asks as I get out the car.
" Perks of the job" I smirk.
" What Job?" he asks.
" You will find out later" I tell him while knocking on the door.

My father answers the door. " The kids are here" he shouts back in the house.
Why does he still call us kids I'm 25.
" Hi dad" I say hugging him.
" Hi love, how you doing" he says hugging me back.
" Things are looking up, they really are".
" that's what I like to here" he says showing us in.
I am then greeted by my mother. " Welcome home love" She says hugging me.
" Hello Mother" I reply.
I haven't really had a good relationship with my mother, we used to argue all the time and it got worse when she found out about my chosen career. My dad on the other hand well I can never remember a day we were apart. for most of my childhood I was a bit of a tom boy and liked doing the boyish things like helping my dad was the car or fix the outside bench and even going fishing.
When I look at my sister I notice a rather large bump.
"Your pregnant!" I say surprised.
she laughs " Surprise!" she say hugging me.
" I am so happy for you" I say returning the hug.
" How's my little sister in law?" Jeff says from behind my sister.
"Long time no see" I say to him.
" We have some serious catching up to do young lady" my sister says to me.
" Yeah you should totally come down to Australia" Jeff says.
"With all those deadly Spiders, I think I will pass" I say with a shiver. I hate spiders.
"Well I will just go put my stuff in my old room, is the computer still there?" I ask.
" Yep nothing's changed" My sister says.
" Great I will be back in 15 minutes I have a big announcement". I tell them.
"You've found yourself a man?" My mum asks.
" No mother, I'll tell you in a minute"I say running up the stairs.
When I get to my old room I can see what my sister means it is exactly the same as when I was a teenager with my poster of Orlando Bloom, My golden sealing, and black double bed.

What was I like as a teenager,this looks horrible.
I put my suitcase on the bed and open up the laptop.
It isn't password protected. I would never do that now.
I go to me e-mails and find 3 from Tom. Why is he sending me emails I thought he knew everything.
Email 1:
Hi Tom here, I think we should exchange phone numbers, just in case as we will be working closely for the next few weeks. I guess that's all. Thanks as ever.
he wants to exchange numbers?, well I guess there is no harm I that.
I reply:
Hi Tom, that's a great ideas and like I said if you have anymore questions please ask. My numbers 0442286521
I press send and then open the next email another from Tom.
Hi Sarah I hope you don't find me strange but I was wondering if you wanted to go for a drink, just as business friends, I think it is better if we were to get to know each other a bit more and yo be completely honest I would quite like to get to know you.
Tom.
H-he wants to go for a drink?, with me?. This is unreal. My life is turning up. I see no harm as long as it stays professional. I reply:
Hello again tom, of course I don't think you weird again you have thought if a great ideas, as long as it stay professional as we don't want any awkwardness, how about the royal at 5pm this Tuesday?.
Sarah.
I press send and then switch off my computer.
just then my mother shouts me down telling me that lunch is ready.
As we all sit down to a beef roast my brothers asks me about the car.
" So how did you get that Jag?" He asks.
" My boss gave me it" I shrug.
" Your not getting Cosy with your boss are you?" My mother asks.
I almost choke on my food. "Mother!, of course not. it is all part of my new job" I tell her.
" Have you finally given up on stupid telly".
" No mother, it is a job on telly as a presenter for a new show called behind the Cameras where we look at the life of a star when they are not filming movies". I tell them.
" That's great I knew your time would come, who's the star, is it someone we might know?" My sister asks.
"It is Tom Hiddleston".
My sister's mouth gapes open wide." Tom Hiddleston! oh my God". she manages.
" I take it your a fan?" I ask smirking.
" Yes!, he is a great actor" she tells me.
"I know" I say.
"Have you met him yet?" she asks.
" Yes and we are meeting again on Tuesday for a drink, and before you say anything it is strictly business".
She smirks. "That's what they all say".
"It is!, I barely know the man".
" How old is this guy anyway?" my father asks.
" He's 32" my sister answers.
" Well too old for you" he says to me.
Before I can say Anything my sisters talks. "No he isn't He is only 8 years older than her." she tells him.
" Well she needs a nice young man like that Jimmy she dated before she went off to Uni" my dad says.
" He was an idiot" my sister says shaking her head.
" And this film star isn't".
" Actually no...
" Shut up!" I shout interrupting them.
" I am not dating him and he isn't too old for me but like I said I am not dating him!. this is strictly business nothing else" I say annoyed.
" Ok, ok" my sister says.
" I was just saying that you don't want to get involved with film stars, there bad news". My dad says.
I may be a film star one day, does that mean I will be bad news?.
" Dad, Tom is really nice, not all film stars are bad". I tell him.
" That's what they make you think".....

Let's Shine
So, first things first, this here is a magical girl thing. There are girls in it, they have magical abilities, fight supervillains (who have magical abilities, too, but in a more menacing way, like superpowers), and also do girly stuff. But it's not for children. Or at least not entirely. The idea is, it should be cute, but at the same time serious. Cute-serious, yeah… So, this is experimental for me. I'm planning to make short updates for as long as I can keep it up or until the plot resolves itself, whichever comes first. Most of all, I'm planning to not overthink or overedit things as much as I usually do, so there are bound to be mistakes and inconsistencies. I'll try my best to keep them to a minimum, though. But if you notice something, please feel free to tell me!
