The Scene

I usually don't like reading/writing Raura fan-fictions preferring to read about their characters instead, but I guess my obsession with Ross Lynch has pretty much completely taken over, and here's the product of that.

Disclaimer: THE EVENTS IN THIS STORY ARE COMPLETELY MADE UP.

Laura sat back in her dressing room, in the comfortable white couch, with the script for the next episode of Austin & Ally in one hand, and a cappuccino in the other.

The cappuccino usually helped her brain get working so she could memorize the script in the quickest time possible.

She read through the newly decided episode name: First Fights & First Times.

Laura raised an eyebrow, and shook her head. The episode names just got crazier every season.

She flicked it open, and saw a lot of small print in black ink, filling almost two pages.

She read through the first few sentences, surprised. That was new.

She stopped reading and instead started scanning, checking to see if there would be anything of particular interest, because she had no interest in sitting here and reading all of the small print. She would ask Raini if she knew what it was about, later.

She froze when she read over one sentence in particular.

She read, and re-read, wondering if she'd gotten in right, but there it was, in black and white.

This episode will not be airing on Disney Channel.

Starting at that point, she started to read the whole thing again, more thoroughly this time.

Why wouldn't it be airing on Disney Channel?

Over the years of filming Austin & Ally, the producers and directors have noticed that the T.V. show is more popular within older age groups. Because of this, the producers have decided to attempt to film an episode of a more mature nature, and air this episode on a different channel.

This episode will not effect the general story-line, and will be a once-off occurrence.

Laura's eyes widened, and she took a sip of her coffee to stop herself from freaking out or screaming or something.

'More mature nature'? What did that even mean?!

Okay, she knew what it meant. It was more that she didn't want to know. To even imagine having to film anything like that...

But it had said that the show is more popular within older age groups. And she knew that if the farthest she had ever seen her favorite pairing go was kiss, she'd get frustrated too.

Whoa, slow down there, she said to herself. It wasn't even certain that this 'mature scene' was going to be sexual at all.

If the main actors of Austin & Ally; that is, Callum Worthy, Raini Rodriguez, Ross Lynch and Laura Marano agree to filming such an episode, filming will start on Monday the 18th of October...

Laura gulped, and set her coffee down on her dressing table, running out the door, script in hand. She was way too far gone to be comforted by the caffeine now.

She bumped into Ross just as he was coming out of his dressing room, too.

Laura noticed the same script in his hand.

"Did you read it?" She asked, chewing on her lip.

Ross nodded, a small smile on his lips. "Yeah. Are you in?"

Laura blinked, shocked that he didn't seem even the least bit... well, as horrified as she was.

"Um. I don't know. Are you?" She asked.

Ross shrugged. "Yeah, it might be fun. Disney is so... modest, ya know? It's about time Austin and Ally and the gang did something inappropriate."

"But won't it be... awkward? Filming those scenes... I mean, the kiss scene was weird enough, but now our characters are gonna be doing so much more-"

Raini walked out of her dressing room at that moment, a large grin on her face. She spotted Ross and Laura and walked over to them, laughing.

"Oh my God. Did you see this?!" She asked, holding up the script.

Ross nodded, joining in with her laughter.

Laura watched them as they joked about the whole thing. Maybe she was making a bigger deal out of this thing than it actually was.

But she still had reservations about the whole thing.

"Have either of you actually read the script?" she asked, opening it.

Both of them shook their heads and started to read at the same time she did.

"Whoa," Ross breathed, flicking through pages quickly and then stopping.

Raini leaned over to look. "Wow..."

"What?" Laura asked, coming over to stand beside him. She scanned through the page he was staring at, stopping when she read the word kiss, right after a long conversation between her and Ross's characters.

It didn't take a genius to figure out exactly who would be kissing in that scenario.

She read back over the paragraph again, and saw the stage directions, written out in a not very detailed manner, like they usually were.

[Intense kissing]*

Then, down at the bottom of the page: *further stage directions given on set.

And then, on the very last page of the script, in large, bold print: This episode will contain scenes of a sexual nature.

Laura felt her breathing become shallow, and she jumped when she heard a voice behind her. They all did.

"What are you three looking at?" asked Callum, who obviously hadn't read his script yet.

No one said anything. Ross held the script up to him.

"What the hell?" Callum muttered, reading.

"They're not airing this one on Disney," Ross explained.

"Because they want to do a more mature scene," Raini continued.

Laura was way past speaking.

Ross nudged her gently. "Laur?" He whispered. "You okay?"

Laura laughed. She wasn't sure why. Maybe because it was better than crying.

"We're gonna have stage-sex," She mumbled, giggling.

Ross smirked at her sudden amusement with the situation. "Well, yeah, I guess so. If you decide to go ahead with this..."

Laura looked at him, and then at Callum and Raini, who were thoroughly reading the entire script with more interest than ever before. Laura rolled her eyes.

Then, she looked back at Ross.

Ross.

How was she supposed to go back to being normal around him after this? Of course, they wouldn't actually be having sex, but it would be close enough to it.

Should she take after him in the fact that he didn't seem bothered by this at all?

And besides, the rest of her cast mates seemed genuinely excited for this.

And if one person wasn't in agreement for filming the episodes, then obviously, the rest of them couldn't go through with it.

She really didn't want to spoil their fun.

She knew that Ross was more enthusiastic about this than the rest. He had always complained that Disney only showed some of what teenagers went through at their age. Just the polished version of adolescence.

No one ever drank or smoked - they censored their kisses for goodness' sake!

And now they were getting their chance.

Laura wasn't going to take that away from them.

About two seconds had passed as she made her decision.

"I'm in." She sighed, shrugging. "It's not like we're really going to be doing anything..."

Ross smiled at her, not speaking.

Laura started to panic. "We're... We're not going to actually be doing anything, are we?"

"Well... I didn't want to tell you, in case it might freak you out, but..."

Laura gasped, her mouth falling open with a popping sound, not knowing what to feel. "But they can't! They can't make us do that-!

"I'm kidding, Laur," he said, shaking his head and laughing. "God, you're so gullible sometimes." he teased.

She scowled and smacked his arm. "You scared me, you idiot."

Ross dodged her fist and laughed. "Don't pretend you don't like the idea..."

That brought Laura up short, and she spluttered, not being able to say anything. A blush crept up her cheeks.

Ross laughed again, triumphant, opening his script and going back into his dressing room.

"See you on set," He called, leaving Laura flustered and speechless.

"So, tell me again, why we're filming the last scene first?" Ross asked the director.

Him and Laura had managed to corner him on the day of filming.

"You two are nervous about this, right?"

Ross shrugged. Laura nodded.

"So, it's best to get it over with as soon as possible." the director explained with a shrug. "Now, we're starting filming in ten minutes, so I need you both on set by then."

Laura sighed, and made her way over to the set, walking slowly, trying not to think. Ross followed her silently.

"Look, I know this isn't the most... normal of circumstances," Ross muttered, starting to feel the anxiety Laura was feeling. "I mean, I usually take a girl out to dinner before I end up naked in bed with her..."

Laura turned to glare at him, but ended up laughing. Ross was good at this. Lightening up the mood.

"Shut up," she muttered teasingly, shoving him. Then she sighed. "You know, if there weren't such hardcore Auslly shippers out there, we wouldn't be in this situation."

Ross smirked. "I think it's cool, you know, that our fans want to see you and I... well, our characters go at it."

Laura shrugged, looking away again at the reminder of what was to happen in just a few short minutes. "I guess so."

Ross sighed as they got to the set. "Look, Laur, I know it's weird, but... Try to relax," He said, brushing a lock of her hair behind her ear. She shivered delicately. "I won't bite." he promised.

That's too bad, Laura found herself thinking. She blinked after she had had the thought. Where had that come from?

"Ross and Laura on set, please" Came a voice amplified by a megaphone.

Ross took Laura's hand. "You ready for this?" He asked her, winking.

Laura smiled. "Bring it on."

Just so you know, this Fanfiction isn't really meant to be realistic, because I'm very aware that the chances that this would ever happen (no matter how much we all may want it to) are very,very slim.

Sigh.

Next is the shooting of their scene, and if you know me at all, you'll know that it'll be anything but professional. ;)
