ARIELLA SAT ON HER BED, surrounded by pillows surrounded by pillows and her best friends. her, kristen, and scarlett decided itmwas finally time to film another youtube Q&A since their lives had changed so much since the last time they had did this. 

ariella had been getting tons of messages asking about her life—her career, her relationship with walker, and, of course, her recent role. it had been a crazy few weeks, and she figured this was the perfect way to answer everyone's questions all at once, with her girls by her side.

the camera was set up on a tripod, pointed directly at the trio, who were all sitting cross-legged in front of it. kristen was to ariella's right, leaning forward with a big smile, and scarlett sat on the left, her usual mischievous grin plastered on her face. they were all wearing matching oversized hoodies—kristen's in bright red, scarlett's in purple, and ariella's in a soft, pastel pink. they looked like a mismatched but perfect trio.

"alright, alright," scarlett said, adjusting her phone that was perched beside the camera. "we're finally filming this Q&A! ariella, are you ready for the questions your fans have been sending?"

ariella laughed, adjusting her hair and glancing at Kristen. "wouldnt youuu like to know weather boy...."

kristen raised an eyebrow. "girl shut up"

ariella sighed dramatically. "yall see how she treat me??? just gon ahead and start the questions..." with that, scarlett hit record, and the camera began rolling. she sat back, giving the two girls next to her a knowing look.

"okay, first question. from @lebronnveinyyahhhdih—" scarlett started, reading from her phone. "'how does it feel to be a part of percy jackson? like, this is a big deal!'"

ariella smiled, the excitement from the zoom call still fresh in her mind. "i still can't believe it's real," she said, her voice soft but filled with awe. "it's kind of like a dream come true, honestly. percy jackson was one of the first book series i ever read, and now i'm going to be part of that world. getting to play thalia grace... it's unreal. but also, really nerve-wracking. i just hope i do her justice."

kristen raised her hand like she was in class. "i gotta say, I'm beyond proud of you, girl. i can't wait for everyone to see you on screen. you gonna get hella huzzz, and be in edits."

Ariella's heart swelled at the compliment. "thanks, kris," she said, glancing at her friend. "i dont know about huzz though my boyfriend might kill me"

scarlett chimed in. "speaking of your boyfriend. next question. from @idcccc: 'what's your favorite thing about walker?'"

ariella's cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled shyly. "oh, wow! ok so not to glaze or anything but hes sooo adorable, hes funny, hes comforting, he smells amazing, he gives greeat hugs, his hairs cute, hes cute in general,  hes soooo supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. and yea thats not even all but"

kristen side eyed her.  "baby they asked for one thing.."

ariella threw a pillow at her. "girl hush can i talk about my fine shyt in peace please and thank you?"

scarlett raised an eyebrow. "ok so next, how did it feel when you two first kissed?"

ariella blinked, clearly caught off guard by the question. "scarlett! that's a bit... personal, don't you think?"

scarlett grinned mischievously. "come on, don't act like it wasn't a moment."

ariella hesitated, her lips curling into a shy smile as she thought back to their first kiss.  "i didn't even need to think about it, it just happened naturally. and it was pretty fire 100/10, would & have tried again! thanks, thats all"

"alright, alright, enough about me and walker," ariella said, her face slightly flushed. "let's move on to the next question."

kristen pulled up another one from her phone. "this one's from @adorablejenna: 'ariella how do you handle everything that's been going on in your life?'"

ariella took a deep breath, her smile faltering slightly. "i won't lie—it's not always easy. there are days when i feel completely overwhelmed by everything. but i've learned that it's okay to ask for help. i'm lucky to have such an amazing group of friends—like you guys—who remind me to take a breath, step back, and just live in the moment. soooo yea"

"aw, that's sweet," scarlett said. "she loves uss!"

kristen nodded in agreement. "she finally admitted it!!."

ariella smiled, feeling more at ease with her friends around her. "thank you. but like i said, it's all about balance and having the right people around you."

scarlett grinned, her eyes glinting mischievously. "speaking of balance, @iloveariella23 asked: 'what's your favorite date night with walker?'"

ariella laughed, glancing over at kristen and scarlett, knowing they were both waiting for an answer. "oh my god, okay, well... we've had some pretty fun dates. but honestly? i love the nights where we just stay in, have ice cream and watch movies."

kristen dramatically wiped a fake tear from her eye. "you guys are too cute. i swear, it's like watching a rom-com come to life."

Scarlett leaned back and sighed. "I'm literally obsessed with your relationship. The way you look at each other... ugh, goals."

ariella then turned back to the camera, her smile widening as she answered the last few questions. hey continued talking about her upcoming projects, the friendships they all shared, and the dreams they hoped to achieve in the future. by the end of the video, ariella felt a deep sense of contentment, surrounded by people who cared about her.

"okkk last question" kristen started, "how do we feel about kayla??"

the friend group busted out in laughter.
