Gary was inside what he could only assume was a changing room. There were countless seats with mirrors and make-up set out, and a number of different costumes on railings for them to choose from. Originally Elanor was going to get Gary to wear something nice for his first day, which would consist of photo shoots and interviews. She had learned that he was from a tier-3 town, and his story truly seemed like an underdog story rising to the top, which the public ate up. Which was why she was surprised that he had such a nice suit on. So she decided that there was no need for him to change and it was best that she introduced Gary to the rest. "We have decided to create a program around the news stars of AJ Entertainment, although they have had a few appearances on the big screen already and have grown quite a following, so they are a bit more experienced than you." Elanor explained. There were four other stars that were in the room, Tyson Broner. A slick light brown haired teenage boy who had a mullet, his hair running down the back of his neck. It was a look only few could pull off and Tyson could. He was an Altered, but not part of any of the other academies. Instead he was picked up quite early on to be used for adverts for a various number of products, including advertising for one to become an Altered. He seemed to mainly do adverts for a competitor of NIRV and would show off his skills from time to time on the screen, but it was hard to tell how strong he really was. Based on the adverts Gary had seen, the moves he displayed seemed more flashy rather than practical. Moving on, the rest of the stars that would be travelling with Gary were female. They were all a little bit older than Gary in their early twenties or late teens. One of the females that stood out had golden curly hair that went down to her shoulders. Her hair was something even Gary had to appreciate even though he didn't really have a hair fetish, at least he didn't think he did. Her name was Spring Rosewater, her name didn't ring any bells for Gary, but her family name did. 'Her name… isn't that from that famous actress that is always the romantic interest in those drama shows?' Gary thought. He was right, and Spring was about to shoot her very first drama which is why they thought this would also be good publicity for her. Both Tyson and Spring seemed unimpressed by Gary, just giving him a few glances and saying a few words here and there. 'Them two are quite different I can tell. If one is an Altered and not even in the AFA, then he must have come from a wealthy family that was able to make him an Altered, and the fact that Spring is a Rosewater, means she also had a wealthy upbringing as well. Unlike me, who struggled for so long.' Gary thought. Finally, there were the last two, a short black haired girl named Rachel Ruth. She was an upcoming idol who was about to release her first album. She had released a few solo songs that had done well, and went viral on Poutube for some of her covers. 'I know her as well, although Elanor says these are new stars and rookies, they are almost a bunch of super rookies that have already caught people's attention.' Unaware that it was the same for himself, he too was a super rookie after the last broadcast that had caught a lot of attention. The final girl, of course, was Clem who gave him a big smile, both Rachel and Clem were more respectful with their greetings and he felt he could get along with them a bit easier. "So, the first order of the day is to get your makeup done. The makeup team will be here any second and then we will get a few of your face shots in the building before I talk about what we will be doing next!" Elanor clapped. Just like that, the makeup team came in, and started work, as they did though Gary couldn't help but continue to sneeze. "Achoo!" Gary sneezed and particles went on the mirror. "What is wrong with him?" Spring leaned away in disgust on her chair. "Is he sick with some kind of disease?" "Spring, are you saying that you've never sneezed before?" Clem asked. "Sorry, I think I'm sensitive to the perfume and the make up." Gary explained, as his nose was going a bit crazy. "It's okay, I think you look good as it is anyway." The makeup lady said, because of that Gary was the first one to be done. While waiting around, Spring felt her throat was a bit dry. "Gary, do you mind fetching me some water, if you're not doing anything?" Spring asked. "Um… sure." "Could you get me some juice as well?" Tyson asked as well. Gary didn't really complain, he went outside to fetch what they needed, he wasn't doing anything anyway, but Clem and Rachel looked at each other with a concerned look. When Gary had returned Spring and Tyson were requesting Gary to do a few things, they were essentially making him their errand boy. This continued as they went on to take photos in the building. They were posing, and then Elanor had told them to head outside as a vehicle was waiting for them. Once again Gary was asked to grab their bags for them which he did. "Hey Gary, you do know what they're doing right?" Clem asked, as she pulled him to one side. "It's okay." Gary answered. "Trust me, this is nothing, you know my first job was an errand boy." He was thinking about his transporter days, and besides if this was their level of bullying, then they would never survive in the AFA. "Let me take your bags as well." Gary said, as he easily carried Rachel's and Clem's bags, he had all five on him with a smile on his face as he entered the van. "Gary you don't need to do that, that's what the guards are for." Elanor stated. When travelling outside, one of the guards was to travel with them at all times. "It's okay, it's good exercise, I have to keep my muscles working, remember I will have information on my debut match soon." Gary answered, as he went inside. The guard was quite impressed by the boy, and gave him a thumbs up. They all sat in a luxury minibus, it was used to transport stars and would have things that they might need in an emergency inside. Elanor stood in the centre as she went on to explain what was going to happen. "We want you all to be a success countrywide, and to do that you need to be able to relate with your audience regardless of where they come from." Elanor stated. "There is a TV crew in the van behind us that will be following all our movements. They will be following our super rookies as they experience what life is like, which is why we have decided to film in Gary's hometown, Slough." ***** For updates for MVS and future works please remember to follow me on my social media below. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 Instagram: Jksmanga P.a.t.r.e.o.n jksmanga When news of MVS, MWS or any other series comes out, you will be able to see it there first, and you can reach out to me.
