“Are you ready?” Niko asked Raelynn who excitedly ran her hand through her dress. 

“Never felt more ready, and if I think about it—”

“You won’t even feel this ready for your wedding? Knew you were the wife material, ” Niko said and chuckled, making the lady in gold laugh along.

Raelynn touched her chest and gave a look of fear, “You found out!”

He, who looked at her, shook his head and walked, passed her to open the door for the car. “Get in, m’lady.”

“Touched.” 

She smoothed the dress once more and sat in. 

They had become quite good friends. They were even closer than before. Among the many reasons to hang out with each other, being the same age helped both of them.

As soon as they got in the car, Niko turned the engine on and drove the car through the freeway.

“I’m excited and nervous about the reactions…” Raelynn said.

“Yeah, me too. But I know for a fact that the weight would mostly be on your t- I mean, your previous team. It’s still your team. So it’s fine to be nervous, just remember what Ian said about the final movie cut.”

“This is going to be a hit!” Raelynn said in a deep voice to imitate Ian. “It would have been better if you at least got to find the love of your life during the function. What is your type? Tall, dark, and handsome?” She asked.

“Eh~ More like, sweet, caring, and goal-oriented?”

“Boring. I don’t think that anyone suspects you’re gay by how you dress. Like, dude, you dress even better than–”

“Don’t complete that sentence. Or you’ll walk to the theater like a homeless woman. Why don’t you have your ride again?”

“Because I don’t have a date?” 

Raelynn and Niko kept talking like a high school couple throughout their way to the theater. 

The hour of the ride was longer than they had expected. There were even points where they just stared at the road, or Raelynn gaped at the street due to having no topic to talk about.

But something they both laughed at was how they always found something to talk about after every moment of silence.

“Raelynn, Niko.”

The security allowed both of them to walk in as soon as they got out of the car.

There were so many stars shining on the blue carpet that one could go blind if they joined them—not literally, but you get the idea. 

A few familiar faces from the team and familiar faces from the Box Office screens were scattered everywhere.

“Raelynn, Niko. Here I thought you wouldn’t make it on time. To the left, ” The event coordinator, Rikky said, followed by some alien words to the microphone which was attached to her ear.

Raelynn and Niko thanked her and walked inside where there were many people including Ian standing with smiles smothered on their faces.

Seeing Niko and Raelynn walk hand in hand, Ian waved.

“Good evening!” Ian greeted, still smiling at the cameras.

“Date was late!” Raelynn muttered with her teeth straight, faced at the cameras. Her brown hair was tied down, so her long wavy hair went down her bare back. She had the looks of a model and perfect features which didn’t go unnoticed by any of the people around them.

“Ms.Raelynn? Can you answer some questions? Is that true that you work for Renner Studio now? Why did you leave Goofy? Can you please tell?”

One man asked loudly which went intentionally ignored by three of the people who stood in front of them. 

Ian ignored it knowing talking about it would create more unnecessary stories to keep the online keyboard heroes alive. 

“...And my date!” Ian said while Scarlett walked in wearing a long staggering red dress which made the cameras focus on her. 

*Fweeeet!” “Phweeee!” “Wohoooo!” “Look! Scarlett and Ian!”

The crowd, which was a considerable amount from far away, cheered when Scarlett reached Ian. Some were whistling and some were hooting—from the happiness of course. 

“You look stunning,” Ian whispered to Scarlett.

The cameras and flashlights went off within a few seconds. 

Scarlett had gone to say hello to some other celebrities, and as she had promised, she came right back after not more than 10 minutes.

Niko and Raelynn walked away after a few more pictures—together, alone, and in various poses in front of the board which had the names of the investors imprinted. 

“Ian Renner, can we have a word? How are you feeling tonight?” 

“I’m feeling great, excited, and thrilled for everyone to watch the movie. Thank you!”

“Ian, are you really dating Scarlett? Can you tell us a bit about that?”

“Scarlett! Look this way! Smile…! Nice, perfect!”

“Can you both pose?! Oh... Good! Great! NICE!”

The demands from the photographers didn’t die until all the celebrities were inside. From afar, some fans kept shouting for pictures. 

Celebrities and singers kept noticing and addressing the fans, giving them autographs and selfies. 

Inside the theater, there was an entire war raging. 

Ian walked in with a smile, still noticing the cameras to the left and right of him. But behind the big curtain and up above in the corners of the theater, the backstage crew was trying their maximum to keep everything under control.

“This looks amazing,” Scarlett complimented as they walked inside. 

Ian, who was aware of every effort people had put in, smiled with the hint of pride taking over. 

“I know right? It would be even more amazing when everyone finally watches the movie.” He said and walked to the front seats which had labeled, ‘RESERVED’.

The blue-themed theater was looking astonishingly breathtaking—maybe it was the decorations or maybe it was the anticipation.

“So the saying goes as we say the best is to last. And with Goofy signing a deal with Ian— it has finally arrived, the moment when the most anticipated movie of the year is finally ready to be released. This is the moment which you’ve been waiting for, the release of AVATAR for the cinemas. 

We’re here tonight at the world’s premiere. As you can see, the pressure is up above in the air. And right before the little break, we talked to the director, Ian Renner, and the cast. 

We are still awaiting the arrival of Jeff Sanson, the CEO of Goofy. Till then, let’s find out about Ian’s revolutionary film techniques.” 

“...CUT!” The man behind the camera said as the girl took a break. Currently, on air, there ought to be a clip of the Avatar show. 

And then, within a few seconds, the lady was back in front of the camera, a delightful smile plastered across her face.

“Hi Zoe, how are you doing? It’s the world premiere of Avatar. H-How does it feel like to be here?” 

Zoe and Liam’s entrance took many people’s interest and focus. 

“Uh, hey there!” Zoe smiled broadly. “It’s so good to see you too. It’s been a wonderful couple of months working with Ian and the crew. And to be honest, I can’t believe I’m saying that it’s finally here. After so many months of the gym, workouts, and everything else that came with the role, it’s been a great honor and I’m pleased, and waiting to watch the movie.”

“How do you feel about the technology Ian used? Ian is a very well-known person to grow through his movies. What do you feel?”

“It’s about to change my life. And every time I entered the shooting premises, I had to leave my human soul at the door and be an avatar by its true definition. What the movie shows are exactly what we did. It’s really great and very exciting to see it finally in one piece.”

“Liam! Liam! Can you give us a word about how you feel tonight? You look flushed, is everything okay?”

“Oh yes, hello! I was waiting till I could talk to CSN and my chance is here. 

Honestly, it was such a delightful evening. The evening feels fresh and I can already see the results before the movie is out. I mean, this idea is fresh. Although the technology did exist and has been used for years now, I don’t think anyone has ever used it the way Ian did. I’m waiting and waiting! Thank you, thank you!” Liam and Zoe bid goodbye to the news reporters. 

“It’s Jeff! It’s Jeff Sanson! Sir, can you look here please?!” 

As Jeff arrived a little late, all the chaos went high and above around him. The security kept the reporters away as Jeff posed and smiled at the cameras. 

“Jeff Sanson! What do you feel about tonight’s world premiere of Avatar? Do you believe Ian did a good job?”

“Ian is very talented and I believe he did a great job. To generate the images that are shown here today…. It’s truly the efforts of a lot of people, their patient needs to be mentioned to the media today. And I absolutely love this premiere look. Look at the giant screen! All these people, the blue carpet, and inside the theater, it’s a whole another experience! Everything avatar-themed… Tonight is great!” Jeff replied with a smile, which was followed by so many other questions by the numerous reporters.
