As the time passes and my relationship with Risa grows serious and my powers and dragon too we grow serious and slightly apart because we're studying acting and law. Today we are at the airport, I'm leaving to record a movie and my dad and girlfriend are leaving me here. I'm still 17 so, a minor still.
Ri-Call me when you get there. I'll be waiting and write. I will miss you.
-With this payment I'll buy you the best engagement ring ever or the one you like the most.
Ri-I'll send you a picture if I find one.
I give her a kiss and as I finish with her I turn to my dad.
-Dad.
AC-Behave and be alert. You're smarter than them so use it.
-I'll send you a copy of the movie when is done.
AC-We'll watch it when you come back home.
I look around before I jump to hug him tightly. He's taller still so I reach for him even now. I hold him tight and he does to until I'm satisfied and composed so I let go.
-Don't tell anybody.
AC-I will not.
Ri-Neither will I.
-Take care of her.
I hold her close before leaving her with my dad. I smile at how she holds on his arm when he escorts her. Taking this chance of peace in my heart knowing they're safe I finally turn to leave towards my flight. My very first movie at the age of 17.

Five years later
I lean back down on my spot at the table within my working colleagues. I am followed by them all as we all sit on our respective seats, the last ones to enter being our managers.
Boss-Congratulations everybody for a job well done. The sales for our movie debut was, lord help me, way more than our initial investment. I also want to congratulate our two, this time three, most liked characters. Angel, Rosa and Blaze.
-What?
I sit straight from the surprise.
Boss-Yes. You will be one of the greats in the future. I am glad I hired you for your debut. I was indeed surprised because your rating actually surpassed the lead protagonists of the movie.
-I am happy for being successful but I don't like being put in the spot at this moment. I'm the newbie amongst all of you experts and is, I'm a bit shy when receiving praise. You should all know that by now.
Boss-We do but it had to be said. We support you for your acting future. I hope we can keep working together.
-So do I.
Boss-Well then. Profit is good, we will have gala tomorrow where we will talk about the movie and each of you about your character. The gala is for the award for whoever won them and then the interviews. Any questions, concerns, anything?
Everybody does a murmur but nobody actually asks anything. With no questions everybody stands to leave and so do I.
Down on my room my manager speaks to me. Now that the movie is out the crew will disband to their own agendas. Some of us have similar agendas for the gala and the interview but not everybody.
Manager-So, we have the flight tonight and the gala tomorrow morning and the interviews that same night. Is a tight agenda but I don't doubt you will make it.
-Get my dad on the computer.
He leaves and I keep dressing and undressing. I passed through a growth spurt so I'm trying to see what clothes still fit me and what doesn't.
M-Blaze.
He slides the computer in front of me before he leaves and I relax even more.
-Hi dad.
AC-Hey, how are you?
-I'm good. I'm a bit busy still. I'm packing.
AC-Packing to come home?
-Not yet. Calling to tell you that tomorrow there is a gala about the movie I'm in. That is from 9 until 11 in the morning and then an interview at night. That's at 7 until 10 or 11? It depends.
AC-I will watch you.
-I'll be home after that.
AC-Your home or Risa's home?
-Maybe Risa. Anyways, I might get a prize in the morning and an interview at night.
AC-I'm sure you will be there. I'll watch it then and I'll tell everybody too.
-Thank you dad.
Knowingly he hangs up so I can keep working and packing.

Gala
I walk third in line behind Angel and Rosa. They go together but I go alone. I smile at the cameras. They think I'm like this but my personality is that of an introvert. Right now I'm acting as an extrovert so I can deal with the spotlight. The hall wall is full of the movie ad names. They were the lead couple on the movie and I was his best friend in the movie. The one that helped them to be together through the movie. I am wearing a white suit today to the gala. He has a black and red one while she, matching him, wears a red gala dress. I pose for the camera as we go and as we do I wave at the fans. I don't greet any of them personally or individually. Is a long walk to the stage for the awards but even worse because we have to wait until everybody gets there to start. I go to the second floor balcony and taking my book out of my pocket I sit up on the rail behind the curtain. Not very private but not crowded as everybody is on the first floor. I read between my book and my texts with Risa until the event starts. They showcase a lot of people and awards. I don't pay much attention until they start with our movie's awards.
Host-Now for the debut of our most beloved movie, Love, our first award is to best female lead for Rosa.
Angel, Rosa, their nominations, their winnings. Is a boring ceremony.
Host-Finally, the award for best debut record. A brand new star, Blaze Bennett. Where are you? Come on stage now.
I am glued to my seat now, the impression keeping me from getting up.  I look at the stage and the cameras and after a full minute I compose myself and go towards the stage.
Host-There he comes.
I play with my braid as I go and despite being way taller than her I feel way smaller.
Host-Blaze Bennet.
-Sorry, nervous.
Host-You certainly don't look nervous but you're acting that way. You're so tall, can you?
I nod and I kneel as if proposing and she grabs my shoulders relaxed.
Host-I am glad to present Blaze Bennett for record debut award.
She hands me the prize beckoning me upwards as she does and we pose for several pictures before she let's me go. After that I quickly get tired as I'm called for Best Actor Award and Best Supporting Actor Award.

After the events are over and I'm on my suite I fall asleep instantly. When I wake I'm dead hungry so I order several room service to eat. As I eat I look at the three prizes I won. The one that I feel better with is the Record Debut Award. Is the only one that I will get of it. I sigh and getting up I look at my work emails. The last one is for the interview tonight and then I'll go home. When I'm done stretching I call my crew, my assistant and my hairstylist so I can get ready for the interview.
Manager-Your interview is on the last thirty minutes of the program. They will go in one by one so you'll be alone with the host.
-The interview is easy. My hair on the other hand, what do you recommend I style? Up, tied, loose, down, braids, curly, spikes, ponytail?
Stylist-A braid takes time to do but it won't be a bother. A ponytail is an easy and classic look. Spiky ponytail is good but doesn't feel right. Loose feels right but not appropriate.
Manager-What about loose and ponytail together.
-Nah.
I rethink that option.
-Actually, do that. Leave it loose but tie it so is up to the waist.
Stylist-It takes time but I can do it.
In the end she manages to do it by curling it and raising it. She manages just right, my height helps her too. I leave with them to wait for the interview. We wait together at my suite where she sits at the mirror drawing on her notebook, my manager does puzzles on a puzzle book while I lean on the couch reading.
I get bored waiting so I walk around the studio to stretch. In a way I just get to the front and watch the other interviews. Many of the crew are interviewed, the villains, the important guest stars, the lead actors and me. I have to wait for commercials too.
The next segment is my segment. I sit on several cushions so I'm not deep down almost on the floor. I finally talk to the host for a bit until finally the show starts again.
Host-Welcome back viewers. Back to the actors starring on the movie Love, we now have the most beloved actor of all and the only new one on the movie too. Blaze, welcome, is a pleasure to have you here.
-My pleasure. To be here.
Host-So, I chose the most interesting questions out of hundreds and repeated ones.
-The most interesting ones, go ahead.
He nods and sitting back he makes a show of reading the question.
Host-So, about half of the questions asked were different ways of asking if you're single, or not.
-I do have my girlfriend. I'm going straight to her after the interview.
Host-Heartbreaker. Will you speak of her to us?
-No. Besides the fact that I have a girlfriend, I won't speak about it unless we both agree on it.
Host-Why not?
This time around I just look at him. It takes him a moment before he understands.
Host-Next one, the fans noticed that on the gala and the movie your hair was dramatically different. Is it short or long? As in really long or fake extensions?
-Is naturally long. It was hard to hide it so it look short for my role in the movie.
Host-Why did you let it grow?
-It was a process. I used to dislike my dad's long hair until one time I missed my haircut and I was like, might as well try it. I let it grow and I liked it so I care for it.
Host-Can I touch it?
After a moment I sigh and hand him my small ponytail. He holds it until I pull it back.
-Enough of that. Yeah.
Host-Many asked if you and your character are similar or total opposites in personality.
-I could say half and half. I don't speak as much as the character but we have the same goals. Protecting our loved ones.  The character shows more expression and emotion while I don't.
Host-You show emotion.
-Today, right now. If you lived with me you would not be saying that.
Host-This one is mine, I saw how you received your awards. You made quite an impression.
-Of course you saw. I hoped to receive an award but being the last one called I had given up on that. I was ready to get it so when I got to stage after giving up, my brain froze.
Host-Most people want to see you, the speaking part is a plus mostly. Anyhow, I want to know about that right there.
-My ring.
Host-Yes. You're not married nor engaged. She's a girlfriend.
-So? I'm not single and that's reason enough for me.
Host-You seem to be, to have, a very straightforward way of talking.
I smile and after that statement the interview goes better as more of a relaxed conversation until the cameras are finally off.
