Elijah immediately fell on his bed in the trailer and closed his eyes. Man was he tired. After a few moments he sat up again and rubbed his eyes. He had a lot to do and the others couldn�t know about it. Sometimes he wished he had never gotten the idea three days ago, but it was magnificent, and should be done. But he did hate it to be rude against his mates. Suddenly he heard a soft knock on the door.
"Yeah?" he shouted, hoping it wasn�t Orlando because he would be far too much to handle right now.
"It�s me Peter" he heard the director say.
"Oh come in then" he yelled back.
The director came in far more shyly than he had ever done before. Usually he didn�t knock either, he just barged in. He stood in the doorway wringing his hands. "I just came to say that I�m sorry" he said eventually.
Elijah frowned. "About what? Oh I am sorry that I was so rude this afternoon it�s just.."
"No, no" the director interrupted him quickly. "I shouldn�t have said THAT."
"What?" Lij asked surprised.
"Well�you know. That I said you acted like a girl. I didn�t mean to offend you."
"You haven�t�I wasn�t insulted."
"Oh yes you were. I am so sorry.Can we forget about it?"
"Sure but�"
"OK then, have fun tomorrow. Bye Lij" before Lij could add another word to the �conversation� Peter had left. Elijah frowned. "Is it just me or was that just weird?" he said out loud.
Peter almost tripped over Dom, Billy and Orli when he came out of Lij�s van.
"What did he say?" they all asked at the same time.
"Have you guys been listening in?" Peter asked them in return.
"Of course we have. We couldn�t hear properly though. Why did you close the door?" Orlando complained.
Peter shook his head disbelieving. These guys were extremely weird.
"He said he wasn�t insulted, but I don�t know. I offered my apologies. Am I now dismissed?"
Orlando nodded thoughtfully. "I think so" he replied. "If it wasn�t this we�ll have to come up with something new. Maybe the lad is in love after all."
"With who?" Billy asked sceptically. "I know you are convinced of your personal charms but.."
"Oh!" Dom knocked his mate on the head. "He meant a GIRL, idiot. Listen for once."
"Can I help it I�m not as weird as you are and I think logically?" Billy replied offended.
Dom stared at the sky, then hit Billy again and said: "Oh shut up. Let�s make a plan."
"Excuse me?" Peter interrupted. "Can I go?"
"Oh, yes, go. We�ll let you know what we decide" Orlando replied with a shift move of his hand and Dom made a face to Billy.
Orli thoughtfully scratched his cheek as Peter walked away. Dom slapped his hand. "Don�t do that" he told his mate. "And shave. You look crap with a beard. Not as lousy as Lij, though." (Do I risk lynching here?) (Yes, you do!Dee)
"You are extremely violent today" Billy noted, looking at Dominic. "Do you need to talk about anything?"
"No, I�m just in a bad mood" Dom replied, after some short thinking.
"Guys, guys" Orlando called them to order. "Elijah Wood. Remember him? Big blue eyes, hmm? We were thinking of him right now."
"We�re on the doorstep of his van" Billy said. "Maybe, I mean like maybe, we should move."
"That�s the best idea you had in AGES, mate" Orli complimented him. "Let�s go, and make a really, really good plan to cheer Lij up. Not playing hide and seek in trees crap" he added, looking at Dom, who made a "what??!!" gesture with his hands. Still arguing they moved to Orli�s van.
Elijah saw them leave from their van and wondered what they were up to. Well, most important of all was that they didn�t know what he was up to. Let�s get some sleep. The hardest part of his plan was coming up in just a few hours�
