Wendy didn't say anything as Ashleigh asked if she was trying to get noticed as well. Wendy had been noticed long ago- less than a year after she'd left school, she'd gotten a leading role in an indie movie. Nobody had expected it to be the success it was- but it had been big enough to gain the attention of the big studios. And when Disney had been looking for their new princess, they'd invited her to audition. And then she'd gotten it. And now, here she was. If Ashleigh hadn't seen Wendy's face staring out of a magazine at her yet, she would before long.
They talked for hours about everything and anything- about their relationships and Ashleigh's success and so on. But eventually, Ashleigh had to go check on the band. It was only as Wendy glanced at her phone that she realised the time. She swore under her breath, grabbing her bag and her jacket. She made her way back up to the counter.
"Hi, could you get a message to Ashleigh? She's the lead singer in the band playing tonight. Tell her that Wendy says she had to go, urgently, and ask her to call after her show. Thanks," she said, smiling at the guy behind the counter. He jotted down the message and grinned back at her. Realisation flickered on his face.
"Do I know you?" He asked. She shook her head. "I don't think so. Thanks!" She said, hurrying out the door and back to the hotel. She made it with a minute to spare. Winona, who played the fairy godmother and Wendy's character's trusted sidekick, and Lana, the evil queen, were already there.
"Excellent timing, Wendy, hair and makeup and wardrobe just arrived," her agent announced. "Right, so, girls, I think you're wanted in wardrobe first, okay? They're stationed in my room, next to Wendy's," she said as she hurried the three up the stairs. Wendy managed to keep her phone on her person as she was changed into a floor-length dress. The others teased her about a boy, but it was all in good humour. They'd worked together for so long, they were all good friends.
