It had been a long day for AJ. He had been on set all day, filming the same god damn scene over and over again just because the monitors kept malfunctioning. Despite countless smoke breaks and more than one snack break, he was still absolutely miserable. And of course, his puppet, Rufus's rod broke during one of the takes.

Could this day get any worse?

He swore under his breath as he walked off set, towards the repair department. Knowing his luck, Ruby would be working today, the woman who worked in the props department who was absolutely obsessed with him. Just another thing he didn't want to deal with. He sighed as he pushed open the repair department door. He kept his eyes on the ground, not wanting to look at all the colorful fabrics and unfinished puppets. As much as he loved it, he wasn't in the mood.

"I need a quick rod repair."

Quick. It needed to be emphasized.

He said, trying to hide his frustration as he looked up.
