"dude, come on." "i'm facetiming her, guys. i'm sorry." ben laughed. he propped his phone up and called his girlfriend. "hey!" eliana picked up her phone as she came off of the mats. "good timing, we just finished up podium training." "how was it?" he asked. "good. i don't think i'll be able to get the nabieva tomorrow, but the new dismount and the shaposh should be enough to up my difficulty." she smiled at something out of frame as ben nodded. "calling your boyfriend?" cally said in a sing song voice when she looked at the phone. "hey, cally." ben waved. "what's up?" she nodded to him. sophia and grace's ears perked up. "ben?" grace smiled and poked her head towards the camera. "hi!" he raised his hand again when sophie came into the frame. "how are you guys?" "good." sophie grinned. "is your show opening tonight?" "just previews." ben said. "real opening is april twenty second." eliana moved away from the rest of the girls and grabbed her bag, then pulled on her sweatpants and walked out of the gym. "so, you excited? nervous?" "nervous?" he raised an eyebrow. "don't tell me you don't get nervous." she said. he shrugged. "not really." "oh my gosh." she shook her head and let out a little laugh. "what?" "you're just so annoyingly perfect." "what!" ben laughed. "you know that's not true. i still get nervous sometimes, it's just not a big deal." she giggled as ben's stage manager came over the intercom. this is your places call. places call for the top of the show. happy first preview! "alright, ellie, i gotta go." "break a leg!" she grinned. "thanks. i love you." "i love you too. bye." she waved and hung up the phone. "you two are so damn cute." neil said.
