Chapter Text
Frank and Beetlejuice drove up to the red carpet in the demon's hearse. BJ noticed a divider down the carpet as they got out of the car and the only one there was that pothead crew member. "Hey... what's the velvet rope for?" He asked Esther.
"Goldmember's movie." She replied as she smoked her blunt.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Beetlejuice shouted, flummoxed.
"Yeah... you guys have the same premiere date."
"WHAT THE FUCK?" He repeated, 'GOLDFUCKER AND I HAVE THE SAME PREMIER, WHAT THE HELL?' He then sighed silently. 'What do I do? Fuck him. I need to do something. I need to ruin Goldfuckers premier.'
In Gary and Junior's car, Junior was slowly getting nervous. 'I'm not nervous. This is fine.'
The director looked over at his companion and noticed his leg wouldn't stop bouncing so said, "Hey, you don't need to be scared. You'll do great. I know it."
"Whaaaat? I'm not nervous!" Junior said before pausing. "Okay, I'm kind of nervous."
"I'm sure everybody will love you Junior." Gary reassured Junior. 'Just like I do...'
"Uh...thanks." Junior started hesitantly. "Thanks. And they'll love Workin Boys!"
"Thanks. This'll be fun." Gary replied, he sure hoped this went well.
"Yeah" Junior agreed. 'Cause you'll be there...'
|Travel time skip|
"Well, we're here. Are you ready?" Gary asked.
"Yes. Yes, I'm ready" Junior said, flustered.
"Cool, you might want to put on sunglasses. No doubt that the cameras will blind us." He advised, smiling.
"Oh, hell yeah, they make me a badass." Junior said as he put on the pink sunglasses. "I am prepared."
Gary flushed. "They totally work." He said as he put on his own sunglasses. "Let's go."
"Hell yeah." He said before blushing, 'fuck, he looks really great in the sunglasses'. "You go first."
"Okay." The director said as he exited the car.
Junior followed him and tried looking like a badass.
Gary Goldstein stopped in his tracks, 'what the fuck is going on here?'
Beetlejuice looked at him. "Oh. Real classy, Goldfucker, giving us the same premiere date."
Gary looked at Beetlejuice and said, "I didn't organise this! Obviously."
"Why not? It sure seems like the sort of shit you'd pull." Laurence threw back.
"Why would I want to share my premier date with someone like you? I don't want to spend any more time around you than necessary, just sharing the same movie set is a nightmare."
"Obviously, you're doing this as some weird ass way to show me up." The demon accused.
"If I wanted to annoy you then I wouldn't do it this way. I wasn't in charge of the dates."
"Beetlejuice, you probably did this. You bitch." Junior piped up.
"Oh shut up Junior. If you weren't Goldfuckers bitch you wouldn't even be here."
That caught Junior off guard, "Well....if Frank wasn't your bitch, he wouldn't be here!" He spluttered.
"Okay, Frank has something you will never have. Talent" Beetlejuice defended.
"At least Junior is more of a man than you'll ever be." Gary shot back.
"Shut the fuck up! His space opera is going to bomb. So there, and your movies are shit Goldfucker. Maybe that's why they gave us the same date? They wanted people to show up."
"Hey, Junior's movie is going to be the greatest movie to ever be created! And people are only going to show up for my movie, not yours."
'This isnt good.' Frank interjected, "BJ...."
"No, I have important shit to say. Goldfucker, no one is coming to yours, because your movies are boring. And I've seen Junior's set. It's absolute shit. One of his crew members is in a constant state of almost crying! At least I have my shit together." Beetlejuice shouted.
"Well, at least I didn't force my cast to kiss when they didn't want to."
"Hey, that's cool!"
"It really isn't. If people don't want to kiss then you have no place to do so." Gary countered.
"See... that's what makes your movies so boring. And speaking of kissing, you and Junior need to hurry up and get to it."
Junior blushed. "SHUT UP DUMBASS!"
"Why? So you can keep denying your feelings for Gary just like you keep denying your inevitable failure?"
"Why don't you shut the fuck up? You don't know what you're talking about." The other director shouted.
"Uh..." Junior stuttered.
"Love, how many beers have you had?" Frank asked softly.
"I am not drunk. I'm high, and that doesn't change the fact that Junior is a piece of shit and the sexual tension between him and Gary is thick enough to cut with a chainsaw."
"I fucking warned you Laurence. You're repulsive and pathetic." Gary said for he didn't have much left to say.
"SO ARE YOU! And at least I'm not a virgin."
Junior blushed even harder while Gary said, "Well, at least I'm not a fucking whore."
"I'm not a whore!" Beetlejuice shouted, shocked.
'Well... I feel attacked.' Frank just shrugged. "...Well sex is nice. You should try it sometime."
"Can you guys SHUT THE HELL UP?"
"Sure, fine, whatever." Beetlejuice paused. "You fucking asshole."
"Shut up!" The aspiring director yelled.
"Look, just prepare yourself. Your movie will bomb and all you'll have to keep you company are those dreams about Goldfucker."
'HOW THE FUCK DO I RESPOND TO THAT!' Junior thought.
"Why don't you just go die in a ditch, Laurence?" Gary voiced.
"Oh, sure, let me just -oh wait- I'm already dead. You always act like you're so much better than me, Gary. Well, guess what? Today is my day. I thought I could have something, but you and your little boyfriend had to come fuck it up." Beetlejuice countered.
"He's not my boyfriend! I don't even know if he's gay." Gary said before he paused and blushed, 'Fuck... did I really say that out loud?'
"Yeah but I bet you hope he is and judging by how much he's blushing I don't think I'm too far off." Laurence humphed.
Gary turned to look at Junior. "Junior?"
"I am not blushing, okay? It's just uh, the lights. It's hot. That's it."
Gary walked over to him. "Junior? You are looking very red."
"It's nothing! Really. I'm just hot. It's hot. It's nothing." Junior stammered.
Frank and BJ shared a look that screamed, 'how can they not see this?', before turning back to the other two men.
"You really don't look fine." Gary stated, concerned.
"I'm fine, Gary. Really. Look, Laurence is a dick and I'm kinda overwhelmed by all the lights and cameras and shit."
"Do you want to go somewhere quieter?"
"Yeah. Yeah. I think it's another few minutes before your movie starts?" Junior asked as he looked at his watch.
"I think so, I'm pretty sure there's someplace quiet around here." Gary replied before walking away from the red carpet, Junior trailing a half step behind him.
Frank looked at BJ. "Love....what was all that about?"
Beetlejuice sighed, "I never had a good premier. And I thought this one would be great and you're here and shit, and then he had to show up. And I know his movie is going to get more attention. So I'm just royally fucked."
Frank hugged BJ before saying, "I promise, people will love your movie. It's great."
"I've gone fucking soft." Junior sighed.
"I don't think you've gone soft." He reassured. "You look like a fucking badass in those sunglasses... and out of them."
Junior bit his lip again. "Really?"
"Truly." Gary smiled at Junior.
"Well....you kinda look like a badass too." Junior returned, 'more than kinda'. He best stop that train of thought before he blushed anymore.
Gary felt his face flush and looked down at his shoes. "Um, thank you."
"You're welcome. And you do." Junior insisted.
The director looked up and smirked, "Hell yeah I do."
Junior laughed and paused before sighing, "He really is a bitch."
"He is." Gary said. "But I know something that he doesn't."
"And what's that?"
"Our movies are going to be fucking great and we fucking rock." He smiled.
Junior smirked. "Hell yeah." He then thought, 'Does he really want to date me or was he just shutting BJ up? Cause I mean I'm cool either way.'
The ex-lawyer sighed, "Are we going to talk about what happened?"
"We probably should before I fucking explode." Junior replied.
Gary Goldstein:
"Um okay... well." Here goes nothing. "What Laurence said was fucking horrifying and disgusting.. and my god hes such a fucking creep... but it wasnt entirely untrue..."
Junior:
My eyes widened "You like me?"
Gary Goldstein:
I look down and feel my face flush. "Maybe? You're really fucking cool."
Junior:
"Okay well, maybe i like you. Because you're not a total crackhead like everyone else and you're pretty cool to be around" yep im blushing help me
Gary Goldstein:
"You're not like anybody else I know. And you make me really happy. I really like being your friend... but I think that I would be okay with being something more?"
Sonny :
"Uh.....maybe i want to be more too...."
Gary Goldstein:
"Really?"
Junior :
"Yeah. Yeah really." i smiled slightly but i kept blushing
Gary Goldstein:
"That's really really cool. Can I... um can I kiss you?"
Junior:
"Uh...yeah. Yeah." only i kissed him first because im a badass
Gary Goldstein:
His lips are so soft. I kiss him back before pulling away. "Wow."
Junior:
Shchsnsnssnsns. I blushed. "Yeah. Wow"
Gary Goldstein:
"We should... ugh... probably go to the theatre now."
Junior:
"Yeah. Yeah" i nodded
Gary Goldstein:
I slip my hand into Juniors, "come on then"
Junior :
Love is weird and i am unprepared. I looked up at him and smiled. "Yeah. Lets go" we started walking. Holy shit
Gary Goldstein:
"This should be fun. We could class this as our first date." I laugh
Junior:
I laughed a bit too. "Yeah dating. Damn, this is real. And its great"
Gary Goldstein:
"Its totally real." I say giving his hand a squeeze. "Were going to be the best couple ever."
Junior :
I smiled. "Yeah. Yeah we are."
Esther:
I was at the after party venue. I did good today
Gary Goldstein:
"Well, that went well. How did you enjoy it?"
Junior:
"Gary that came out great!"
Gary Goldstein:
"I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Junior :
"I really did"
Ellie:
“That actually turned out really good. Mr. Goldstein knows how to direct.”
I smiled.
"It was really good." I chuckled (evan)
Frank:
............
Beetlejuice:
"THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!"
Frank:
I need to be honest with him. "It was interesting"
Beetlejuice:
"Zombie Slasher Gala!!! BEST FUCKING MOVIE EVER!"
Gary Goldstein:
"Your opinion is the only one that matters."
Junior :
"You did good. That movie was great"
Ellie:
“Wasn’t chaotic and had a good storyline. Just normal.”
I slid under his arm to where I was holding his and and his arm was wrapped around me at the same time.
Gary Goldstein:
"Thank you. You're amazing. I cant wait for your premier."
Junior :
"Itll be awesome. The effects are great, the leads have amazing chemistry, yeah there is that one crew member whos sad all the time, but these things happen"
Gary Goldstein:
"Yeah, they do. It's going to be amazing. Even better than mine! And mine was pretty amazing."
"Better than my last movie." I chuckled (evan)
Junior:
"Yours was amazing. And we'll have to see. Im hoping mine does good. And it PROBABLY will"
Gary Goldstein:
"Of course it will."
Beetlejuice:
I smiled and looked at Frankie "and my next movie; 'They Came From Denton' is going to be even better!!"
Frank:
I smiled and nodded. I certainly hope so
Ellie:
“Yeah...”
Better not talk about it. Where I fractured my ankle. That’s was karma waiting to happen.
“Hey, there’s Mr. Goldstein!”
Gary Goldstein:
I saw Ellie come towards me. "Hello Ellie, how did you like the movie?"
Ellie:
“That was excellent!”
I smiled.
Gary Goldstein:
"Thank you. I'm glad you came to see it, tonight."
Ellie:
“Anything to support our studio!”
Gary Goldstein:
"How have you enjoyed the evening so far?"
Ellie:
“It’s been great! Reminds me so much of my first one when I was 17. It was nerve wracking, but I got through it.”
Gary Goldstein:
"Oh? What did you work on before this?"
Ellie:
“Those movies I told you about earlier when you were working on this one. How I learned to do all my own stunts?”
I smiled.
Gary Goldstein:
"Oh yeah! Excuse an old man Ellie."
Ellie:
“It’s fine.”
Nearly dying is so worth it.
Gary Goldstein:
"And how did you find the movie evan?"
"It was amazing." (Evan)
Gary Goldstein:
"Thank you. I cant wait to get to writing my next one."
Ellie:
“I’ll be on the lookout for auditions, then.”
I smiled at Evan.
"Of course." (Evan)
Gary Goldstein:
"Great! I cant wait to work with you."
"You're a great director and friend Gary." I chuckled. (Evan)
Ellie:
“The pleasure is all mine. You’re a great director.”
Gary Goldstein:
"Thank you, both of you are my greatest friends too."
Ellie:
I smiled.
Beetlejuice:
My movie was great. I kept thinking about how great it was when some guy with light brown hair and a weird ass mustache. "The fuck do you want?"
Fredrick:
"You directed one of those films, correct? My name is Fredrick." i handed him a business card i had
Beetlejuice:
I read it. "Frankenstine?"
Fredrick:
"Its pronounced Fronkensteen." damnit i have to get those changed. After nearly destroying a town, i felt the need to distance myself from Frankenstine as much as possible. But then a familiar man in a corset and heels walked over. Oh shit not him. This is going to be so awkard.
Frank:
Oh my goodness is that Freddie? I wonder how hes doing. Its been some time since attending the reanimation lectures together. I smiled and waved at him, but he didnt really respond.
Fredrick:
"Yes anyway, sir i was very impressed by your movie, and i would like to get a job at your studio. Im looking for a fresh start"
Beetlejuice:
"Uh...okay youd have to call the producers. Hang on" i gave him their contacts and shit
Fredrick:
"Thank you, sir." i looked at the other one and nodded. "Frank-N-Furter." then i walked off. Workin Boys really was a good movie. I hardly believed that he could have directed it.
Beetlejuice :
"Frank did you know him?"
Frank:
"...no" we banged once
Gary Goldstein:
I smiled and Ellie and Evan. "I'll let you two enjoy yourselves then. Have a nice night." I say before walking back over to junior.
Junior:
So....we're a couple now. Great. Great. I know what im doing. Probably. Hell yeah. "Hi" im a genius
Gary Goldstein:
"Hi to you too." I smile
Junior :
"Okay, so i know im a complete and total badass, but ive actually never dated anyone before. Like ever."
Gary Goldstein:
"That's completely fine! I'm pretty much an amateur at this too... so we'll just go with the flow."
Junior:
"Yeah! This is fine"
Gary Goldstein:
"It definitely is." I agree as I bump him with my shoulder
Junior:
I smiled a little. "Even though he was doing it to be a dick, this is technically because of Laurence. Which is weird to think about." i laughed a bit.
Gary Goldstein:
"God dont remind me." I chuckle slightly and shudder
Junior :
"We should really thank him. Leave him a muffin basket or something" i laughed
Gary Goldstein:
"Oh yeah, and one of the muffins can be filled with poison... Honestly, thank god for Laurence." I paused. "I never thought I'd say that. But thank God for him. Now I have an amazing boyfriend."
Junior:
I smiled "Yeah. Me too." i paused "He is still a massive bitch"
Gary Goldstein:
"Oh definitely, I fucking hate him with every fibre of my being but damn."
Junior :
"Agreed" maybe its cause i was kind of a dick first though....oh well. HE is the problem
Gary Goldstein:
I dont know what to do now... "I hate how he went off on you like that though. I was about ready to tear him a new one"
Beetlejuice :
"So....why did he look at you weird?"
Frank:
"I dont know! A lot of people look at me strangely. It doesnt mean i knew them"
Beetlejuice:
"Okay. Yeah. Youre right. Sorry" its not that i would be mad if he did anything with frank, i just want to know what happened. Gary already ruined tonight for me, and i dont want to worry about some new bitch
Junior:
"Honestly, i would have, but i was kinda flustered. For lack of better words. Oh man, now that we're a couple he'll never let us live it down" i smiled
Gary Goldstein:
I groan. "God, what fun that's going to be. I wouldnt change it." I say looking at him. "I just wish I had to balls to ask you out before this."
Junior:
"I do too. And i would have asked you out in the coolest way possible."
Gary Goldstein:
"Tell me?"
Junior :
"Uh....i didnt quite have it planned, but i would have totally given you some matching pink sunglasses"
Gary Goldstein:
I take my sunglasses out of my pocket, "How about a swap then?"
Junior :
"Sure" i smiled and handed him the pink ones, then i put on his.
Gary Goldstein:
We swap the sunglasses and I put on juniors. "They look great on you."
Junior :
"Well mine look great on you. Pink sunglasses make everyone more badass"
Gary Goldstein:
"Thanks. You do look great though." I say, taking his hand into mine.
Junior :
WHY AM I NERVOUS? i just smiled at him. "Thanks"
Esther:
I watched from the bushes. "MOZELTOV"
Gary Goldstein:
"I cant wait until we can get out of here."
Esther:
"You bitches should thank me. I was the one who set up the premiere dates." i took a swig of my beer
Ellie:
I mainly kept my focus with Evan. If we didn’t have to get into any drama, that would be best. I hated heated arguments.
Esther :
"So....youre welcome, Goldmember"
Gary Goldstein:
"I wonder who organised the premiers though. Its just not done to have them on the same day."
Junior :
"Yeah"
Esther:
I groaned "Me, bitch. This way i could cut my worktime in half." i went back to my beer. "And if i didnt do that, you and Shitclaw wouldnt be a couple. So....youre welcome"
Gary Goldstein:
"But whoever it is we should probably be thankful for it because without them then we never would have argued with Laurence."
Junior:
"Agreed"
Esther:
Well damn ok.
Fredrick:
Oh good i got hired. And i will only make scientific documentaries of real important things. Because i am not a crazy person. Well i guess Ill just stay here and then follow everyone back later
