"AND, CUT!" Tom calls out. He sprints onto the stage. "Okay, girls, that was very good, but I feel like you can do it with more emotion. Kaitlin, Sky, I want more concern coming from both of you. Your Aunt Krystal is getting married and she seems miserable. Why? Reflect on that." Tom pulls his glasses off his face and wipes his sweat-lined brow. "Maggie, the tears are great, but don't overdo it, okay? Use body language to convey your distress. We've got to save the hystericalness for things like Mark's funeral. Okay? Let's try this again!"

When we finally nail the scene an hour later -- after Sky complains that the camera guy on the right isn't taping her best angle, and Maggie suggests tweaking the dialogue a bit so that she has more "emotional drama" moments, we get an hour break to chat with Brian Bennett and eat lunch. Sky and I put on our best poker faces and plop down in the director's chairs to take his questions.

"Okay, even I know that you two are wearing bridesmaids' dresses," Brian points out in that overly friendly newscaster voice of his. "The rumors must be true, then: Krystal's getting married."

Sky and I glance at each other, giving our best impersonation of co-conspirators. "Should we tell him, K?" Sky asks sweetly.

"Oh alright," I giggle. "You caught us. It's actually Sam and Sara who are getting married. It's a double wedding!"

"We can't lie, Brian," Sky explains with a smile. "It is Krystal, but if we tell you any more than that, we might not live to see next season ourselves!"

Hmm ... how great would it be if they shipped Sara off to some exotic island for reform school?

"You two really seem to get along," Brian's voice booms in awe. "I guess rumors of you fighting aren't true then."

"Definitely not." Sky pretends to be shocked. "I could never believe that K was jealous of my relationship with Trevor. I mean, you're not jealous, are you, K?" she says, and flips her black hair over her tiny shoulders. "I know it's been a while since you dated anybody so it must be a little hard to see us together." Brian quickly motions to his camera guy to move in closer.

I blink rapidly. "Definitely not, Skylar," I respond calmly. "You two make a great couple. Trev needs someone cunning who can show him how to survive the sharks in this town." I look innocently at Billy. "It's a shame the rumors have gotten so out of control, though. I just wonder who would plant such terrible lies about me and my family in the press."

Sky pounces, cutting me off. "I hate what the press is doing to my K. I just can't believe the awful, awful things they're saying about her. They couldn't possibly be true! K and I are like sisters. It's going to be tough not seeing her every day this summer, but we'll talk on the phone all the time." Sky bats her brown saucer eyes at me lovingly.
