"My ass looks fabulous in this damn dress."

"It looks flat, flatter then paper."

"Why are you looking at my ass?"

"Yeah Los, why are you looking at my girlfriends ass. WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT YOUR COUSINS ASS?"

"WILL YOU THREE SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Keyinan yelled loudly back to the trio as they all continued to bicker in the small makeshift room they had been placed in, one of which they were told specifically not to speak too loud in.

Candace snorted from beside his side, her eyes briefly flickering with amusement at the family and boyfriend before shifting back to her phone intently as she continued to answer tweets from some of her fans before going up.

Rey narrowed her eyes in mock anger towards the "baby flash" as she liked to call him before going back to looking at Grant who was now having a hushed conversation with her cousin.

"I swear to god, next year we are keeping you two apart from one another. You two can't keep quiet for more then two seconds." She hissed, walking away from the group and heading over towards the small table where they had been provided food and refreshments for the panel. Currently everyone was just lounging around, watching the big screen clung up onto the makeshift wall as things were set up for their panel and the fans crowded to get the best seats. Amusement sparked on her lips as she watched some of the audience dressed in her character Mars' costume which consisted of marked tattoos around her black clad body and of course the infamous whip of power. Excitment grew in the pit of her stomach at realizing people actually went to great lengths for the ones they liked, regardless if they were imaginary or not and she would spend who know how many years portraying this same person and trying to justify the large personality she had.

Tom walked up to her, a cup of what had once been coffee in his palm, "nervous?"

"Definitely," she nodded without hesitation. "They know nothing about me, if I was a shitty Mar's or not and here they are with bright smiles. After today and that new trailer I don't know if they will feel the same way."

Tom thought it over, remembering his first time here and the moment he realized he wasn't just playing some new character, he was playing a trademarked member of an infamous clan. Shrugging his shoulders he turned to her, "I haven't seen anyone ever try so hard Rey, you're the perfect Mars. I think you don't have enough confidence in yourself, which is fine considering all of us have felt that way, but trust me... when you go out there and see that audience up close, when you hear them screaming your name and losing their minds over Mars, you'll know all of that worrying is for nothing. There is a reason you were cast."

She pursed her lips, nodding at him with a smile and flashing her head back to the screen, eyes glued to the girl who couldn't have possibly been more then fifteen. She was dress in a black long sleeve and jeans, black combat boots at her and sharpie painted tattoos staining her neck and Rey couldn't believe that it was because of her she was doing this.

"The producers want us to walk out last and together?" Grant stunned her, standing right by her as he popped a pretzel into his mouth and smiled at his girlfriend.

Rey rolled her eyes, "of course they would. They know this is all what everyone's expecting."

"Well that and the sneak peak of the season but yeah I guess. I can tell them no if you're not comfortable with it."

A smile left her pink lips, connecting their hands together and shaking head. "With you? Never."

"I love you."

"I love you." Rey whispered back with a wink, both staring adoringly at one another.

"Oh my god! They have tortilla chips and salsa! Fuck yes? My favorite!" Carlos jumped from the other side of Rey, barely noticing the couple as he went for the corn goodness.
