Thirty-Six (Amy); All Friends Here.
"Oh my gawd you look great!" Helena practically leaps upon Heather and I when we skate over to the slightly-nervous-looking group of actresses and their collection of bodyguard-like-people. I laugh.
"Thanks!" I can't believe I used to be scared of her; she's just like Heather and I: a fruit bar! I can hear Heather squealing at the other group (Jenny, Jason, Steve, Kristy, Anna and Gemma), and by the sounds of it Steve and Jase are squealing right back at her. I shake my head at them and look back to Helena and Lisa. "You guys okay with this, then?" I motion to the group behind us, all in costume; Jase as Purse, Jenny as Carmen, Anna as Astatine, Kristy as Coco, Steve as Electra and Gemma as Discord. Lisa grins, looking over at the group and focussing on someone.
"Yeah, definately! Wish we could have done something like this!" she looks at me briefly. "Aren't you going to introduce us?" she asks, looking back at the group. I laugh and take a quick look at Tim and Tim (oh man, I'm going to get so confused!), who both look pretty unnerved, then motion for them to join me as I lead Helena and Lisa over to the others, skating very carefully (I'm still not too certain on wheels).
"Okay," I say. "Helena, Lisa, Tim and Tim meet-" I take a deep breath, pointing at each member of the group as I name them. "Jenny, Kristy, Gemma, Anna, Jason and Steve... You already know Heather..."
"Hi..." Helena and Lisa chorus, Lisa's gaze fixed on one member of the group. I follow it, and smile as I see who she's staring at. Jenny blushes and smiles, looking away. Bless.
"C'mon everyone, let's go!" Heather breaks the slight silence that has surrounded us by bouncing on her stops, then turning and skating off towards the cars. I sigh and laugh, then follow her, motioning for the others to do the same. Cheaper and easier to go by car. Tim Roth's driving Heather, Tim and I, so we have to wait for him and the other Tim (yeah, I'm confused already!) to get here before we can actually leave. I wave to the others as one by one the cars pull out and drive off.
"You look great," Tim Roth compliments me as he strolls over, unlocking the car. Heather and her Tim are a little further away, Heather a slight shade of red underneath her Star makeup, avoiding meeting her husband's amused and appreciative gaze. I turn and smile at Tim Roth, feeling strangely shy.
"Thanks..."
"Don't mention it, compliment where compliment's due." he looks up. "Hey you two!" He calls. Heather stops making eye-contact with the floor to look at him.
"Uh?"
"You coming?"
"Oh! Yeah!" Avoiding falling flat on her face by grabbing her Tim's hand, Heather speeds up slightly. Tim keeps hold of her hand, his lengthy strides keeping easy pace with her. Bless, she's so cute and wickle...
"Front of back?" Tim Roth inquires, making Heather burst out into cackles, joined by a slight chuckle from her Tim (this is really making my head hurt!). I growl at the pair of them, avoiding looking at Heather because I know she'll be mouthing 'Amy and Tim Roth up a tree, F-U-C-K-I-N-G...' at me.
"Back," She answers, sounding far too innocent. "I'll sit with Tim --my Tim I mean--" I watch her as she goes crimson. "You can sit in front with the other Tim." she says, looking at me with her best 'innocent little thing' expression and I sigh.
I get the feeling today is going to be an exceedingly strange one indeed...
