| A Movie Script Ending Chapter 1 Marriage. That was something she day dreamed about countless times during her youth. Especially during the times in her life when she was in a relationship where it was a definite possibility. Although, there was only one relationship like that, the single most important relationship in her life in fact, until now. She sighed softy and began to ruffle through dresses. It has to be perfect, it�s my wedding, a real wedding� with an engagement, and everything has to be perfect. Not that Kevin would even care what dress I choose, just like he didn�t care what color flowers we got, and he didn�t care about the type of cake we ordered, or even the ring I had to shop for and buy for myself. A stray tear slid down her cheek and she brushed it away quickly before anyone noticed. I don�t know why, but as the wedding nears the knot in my stomach grows tighter and tighter. I tell myself its just cold feet, but I know deep down something�s wrong. Britney ran her fingertips along the different materials then sighed before pulling away. Britney heard a woman clear her throat behind her and knew it was the personal shopper, Eileen, hired for her by her wedding planner. �These 8 are my favorite.� Britney smiled and motioned to the rack where the white dresses hung. The older woman smiled tenderly, �I�ve helped tons of wives-to-be pick out their dream wedding dresses, and I�ve found one thing that always works.� She walked over to where Britney was standing, �In order to find that one special dress for you, you�ll need to see your wedding take place, to see which dress your happiest with.� �How do I do that?� Britney smirked. �Close your eyes.� She said. Britney looked around the store for people watching, or spying paparazzi. I can see the tabloid heading now, �While wedding dress shopping, Britney Spears was caught standing in the middle of the store asleep.� Go on.� Eileen urged. Britney did as she was told and listened to the words being spoken to her. �Okay, so picture it. You�re standing there with all your excited girlfriends in their bridesmaid dresses, your mother, your father, and everyone close to you.� Britney smiled as she pictured the happy tears in her mother�s eyes. Jamie Lynn and Laura Lynn and her friends from back home looking beautiful in their matching dresses. �In the next room are rows and rows of benches filled with more family members and friends. Everyone is quietly whispering, eager to see the bride. And the ceremony starts, your girlfriends start pairing up with the groomsmen and making their way down the isle.� That�s when Britney�s heart skipped, with her eyes still closed, she watched as Joey, Lance, JC, and Chris walked alongside her friends. That�s when she noticed the woman adjusting the veil on her head, it wasn�t her own mother, not even Kevin�s, it was a woman she hadn�t seen in many years, a woman she held close to her heart and missed dearly, Lynn. �Now it�s your turn. Your father takes your arm in his and moves you over to the doorway. Then the wedding march plays.� Eileen started to hum the tune, dun-dun-da-dun. �You look up and see your husband-to-be in his tux looking as handsome as ever staring back at you with his dazzling smile.� Britney did look up at her groom, and what she saw made her breath catch and her heart start to pound. Britney gasped and her eyes popped open as tears burned them. She quickly covered her face with her hands as tears poured down her cheeks. �Oh sweetie, what�s wrong?� Eileen quickly put her arm around the sobbing girl. Britney hurriedly wiped at her tears, she couldn�t let this woman know the truth of what she had seen. She felt awful, but scared that she wasn�t surprised with what she had seen. Because it�s what she always sees� Justin. 2 Weeks Later �So�? What do you think?� �I�m very interested, this script is amazing.� Britney smiled and looked up at Dave, the casting director. She had spent the last week reading the script for the new James Bond movie. This time they were going in a little bit of a different direction, casting a new Bond instead of Pierce Brosnan, a younger Bond, a Bond Jr. �Terrific, Mark will be thrilled, he�s very interested in casting you as the new Bond Girl.� Dave said as he stood up from Britney�s blue sofa. �Thank you so much.� Britney smiled brightly and shook his hand. �No, thank you for meeting with me on such short notice. I�ll give you a call within the next few days with details on a meeting with the producers and director.� �Okay.� She smiled and walked him to the door of her apartment. After closing it she immediately moved to the � �I don�t know�� Justin said hesitantly. �Justin, I want you. You are James Bond Jr., you are 008.� Justin rolled his eyes and smirked. �I�m not British.� �Yes, but that�s why it makes sense that you�re the love child of James Bond and fictitious Hollywood Starlite, Sarah DeVar.� Justin sighed quietly. He was having a bit of trouble envisioning himself as someone as suave as James Bond, not that the idea was a bit of a fantasy to him, he didn�t want to make the mistake of taking on a movie roll he didn�t think he could handle. But Mark was the director and he seemed pretty gung-ho about casting Justin as a Jr. Bond. �We�ve really got an all star cast, all rolls are filled except for this one, because I have been waiting to get a meeting in with you, and our lead Bond girl and love interest for James Jr.� �Well who are the candidates?� Justin asked out of curiosity, hoping it would help him decide on whether or not to join the production. �Funny you asked. We�ve narrowed down the list of possible bond girls. Eliza Dushku, Jennifer Garner, and� He cleared his throat and paused, �Britney Spears.� As soon as her name reached his ears, Justin�s heart panged and his mouth went dry. Justin�s reaction didn�t go unnoticed by Mark, �But nothing set in stone yet�� he said in attempt to calm Justin�s nerves. �Who are you leaning towards?� His voice was horse. He had to know, He had to know whether or not it was a real possibility. �No one in particular.� Justin stared at him for a few moments. Britney was engaged to another man, if Justin ever had an opportunity to get her back, it would be now. Justin started breathing heavily. Was he really going to do this? No. Wait, he has a girlfriend, Cameron, of almost a year now. Of coarse he loved Cameron, she was a blast. But could he picture her in a wedding dress walking down the isle to marry him? No. Just like he couldn�t picture Britney in a wedding dress walking down the isle to marry anyone but himself. He always knew this in the back of his mind, he wouldn�t marry Cameron. He would always be in love with Britney, and he knew he would never love anyone the way he loved her. But was he really ready to take this leap of faith based solely on his belief that he and Britney were meant to be? This would most likely be his only opportunity to get close to her, he had to decide right now. Justin took a deep breath, carefully choosing the next words he would say, �Cast Britney and I�ll sign on right now as your Bond Boy.� Mark�s eye bugged out and his breath caught in his throat. He had about a million thoughts running through his mind but he knew he wanted Justin on this project, so he made a quick decision. �Done.� � Britney silently stared out the windows the entire limo ride to FOX Studios in Los Angeles. As they were nearing the entrance Fe finally broke the silence. �So, how does it feel to be the next Bond girl?� She asked before loosening the cap on her water bottle to take a sip. Britney woke from her daydreams when she heard Fe speak. Her mind turned to all the previous Bond Girls, �Damn good.� She said in her southern drawl and giggled. Fe smiled and studied her young friend, she could tell something was up. Something other then the usual stress that goes along with being Britney Spears, and planning a wedding. She knew Britney wanted her next film to go smoothly and do better then her first. Not that Crossroads didn�t do well amongst her fans, it did, but Britney knew she could do better and she wanted a movie that really challenged her and would help her to be recognized as a serous actress. She hoped this Bond flick would do exactly that. Britney was watching the passing scenery but she could feel Fe�s eyes on her, �I�m nervous.� She said quietly without looking away. Her mind began to race along with her heart, maybe this was a mistake, I mean, who takes on a lead roll in a big screen action movie when they have a wedding in the works? Maybe a person who is self-consciously scared of this marriage, scared that it�ll end poorly like her first one, scared that she�ll crumble under the microscope the public is pointing at her. Scared that all these fears and doubts about this marriage are due to the fact that sometimes she�s not even sure if she really truly loves Kevin. She knew she felt something towards him. Maybe it was love. But it wasn�t the type of passionate romantic love she dreamed of, the type of love she once felt for someone else a long time ago. � Justin followed a PA down a hall towards the studio where he would have his first meeting and script run through with the cast and crew. He had previously only met the director, the producers, the writer, and a few other members of the crew. So he was extremely excited, at least he thought. But he knew that the feeling deep down in the pit of his stomach wasn�t excitement, it was pure terror. He was terrified that Britney would get one look at him and bolt for the door, that she�d want nothing to do with him. Not that she really had a choice any longer; she signed a contract and so did he. So they were stuck together, any doubts he had now didn�t matter, what�s done was done. � As Britney walked into the studio where they would be filming most of the movie she marveled at the sets, this was actually happening, she would be starring in a James Bond movie! The rest of the studio was pretty bare without the camera crew and fancy production equipment. She made her way towards the big table set up with chairs all around. There were a bunch of people there already, some she had already met or seen on TV, others she didn�t know at all. As she approached the group, Dave greeted her and introduced her to the group. After, she took an empty seat next to Jennifer Love Hewett and folded her hands in her lap. �I have to tell you, I�m a big fan of your music.� Jennifer turned and smiled at Britney. �Aw, thank you so much, I�m a really big fan of yours also.� �So you must be excited, this is only your second film right?� �Yep, well I had a few guest appearances here and there, but this is only my second big roll and I�m very excited, a little nervous but mostly excited.� �Oh you�ll do fine and I�m sure you wont need it but if you ever need any pointers�� �I�m sure I will and thank you.� Britney smiled, she could tell right away they�d become friends. �So I can�t wait to see who they�ve cast as Bond.� She confessed, it�d been driving her crazy and she had no idea who it would be. She was the Bond girl; therefore, she had several very intimate scenes with James Bond Jr. It was only natural to be curious. Jennifer�s eye�s widened when she heard Britney�s last comment. Although she herself had only learned who would be playing the new Bond a few days ago, she just assumed Britney of all people would have known. �Ummm.� She was at a loss for words. Britney looked at her funny after witnessing her strange reaction and was about to say something else when Mark the director appeared in front of the table to make an announcement. �Well hello everyone, welcome to studio 32, hopefully you all know who I am by now, I�m Mark Devon and I�ll be directing this kick ass film.� He said cheerfully and smiled. Mark had jet-black hair, he was of medium height, and medium weight, he was younger then a lot of directors, but still in his thirties. Britney had met him once before and talked to him several times on the phone. �But now, before we go any further, I�d like to finally introduce you all to our new Bond Boy.� He said. Britney continued to stare at him, eagerly waiting for him to continue and reveal the new Bond. She watched as Mark looked straight ahead and nodded once then smiled around at the group awaiting their reaction. Everyone instantly turned their attention to the figure standing at the other end of the table. Britney was a little slow, she had been fixated on what Mark was saying. And then she saw him. She was shocked to say the least, when everyone told her the same thing, that they couldn�t reveal who would be playing Bond because they didn�t want it to leak out, she accepted it. But now she had an idea of another reason they wouldn�t have wanted her to know. Britney didn�t know what to do or say, so she just stared at him. A million emotions ran through her body. She was excited and happy, but confused and angry that no one, including him, bothered to tell her. She was also scared about what this would mean and what it would change. � �Alright, I�ll go introduce you now. Go stand in back and be quet.� Mark said and smiled. Justin chuckled at his eagerness. He could tell he was really excited about the big surprise but trying to play it cool. He only hoped it�d be a welcome surprise. He knew the crew knew, and some of the cast, but he really only had one person on his mind. One person, and her reaction. �Well hello everyone, welcome to studio 32, hopefully you all know who I am by now, I�m Mark Devon and I�ll be directing this kick ass film.� Justin walked over to the table, all the while his eyes glued to the back of her head. Her beautiful blond head. He could feel his heart thumping in his chest. He swallowed the lump in his thrat and wiped his sweaty palms on his jeans. He hadn�t been this close to her in at least a year. And even though he couldn�t remember the last time he was this nervous he felt something else. Something he hadn�t felt in a long while, something he only feels when she�s in the same room as him, a sort of comforting warm feeling. He heard Mark say something else but couldn�t really make out the words, then he heard everyone shift in their seats, a moment later she turned around and her eyes were on him. The way she stared he felt like she looked right through him. He felt electricity jolt through his body and he knew that she belonged with him. |
