## *Bertha's Attic Song*

Audrey portrays the character Bertha Mason in the parody song "Bertha's Attic." This was confirmed/ canonized through Audrey's *Twitter* account. In the song, a parody of 'When Will My Life Begin' from *Tangled*, Bertha/ Audrey sing about their daily routine and dreams of getting more out of life.

## *Kissing in the Rain*

### Canon

Throughout the series, Audrey plays the parts of Lenore, Anne from *Persuasion,* Daisy from *The Great Gatsby*, and Rose from *I Capture the Castle*. In all of these movies, Henry Mancuso plays her male counterpart. The two build well off of eachother when acting. However, Audrey tends to be bashful around Henry when the camera stops.

After her first kiss on camera with him, she giggles and attempts to say something. However, when she attempts to speak, she interupts what Henry was saying. This leaves Audrey even more embarrassed than before. Eventually, the two are in another movie together that requires more kissing in the rain. Following their kiss, they are given a chance to talk in between scenes. After recieving a compliment from Henry, she returns the favour and says people with green eyes (like Henry and Harry Potter) are simply 'better than other people.' Audrey is sweet yet slightly akward around Henry; this is an attitude that carries into the next time she acts opposite of him.

After their third onscreen kiss, as Daisy and Jay, Audrey is slightly more at ease around Henry. She mentions how she can't believe that anyone would be special enough to throw this many parties for (refrencing Daisy and Jay's relationship). After Henry's almost reluctant agreement, she turns away and admires the scenery~~, while he admires her.~~ After her fourth and last project for the foreseeable future with Henry, she expresses sadness that they won't see eachother on set for some time. In return, he offers that they could hang out together outside of the cycle of movie productions. Audrey smiles in disbelief and replies affirmatively with an added "cool beans."

Some time later, Henry shows up at Audrey's door. Audrey is pleasantly suprised and makes a cheesy comment about her house. After a quick beat, Henry takes the oppertounity to kiss her; when the two seperate, they are both smiling. Audrey teasingly makes a comment that their kiss must have been some "pavlovian" effect due to the rain. When the joke falls a little flat, she leans in for another kiss instead. Before leading Henry inside (to avoid getting wet from the rain), she grins and tells him that she likes him (and he replies the same).

### Fan-Canon

The Fan-Canon experiment took place over a few social media platforms, but it mainly took place on *Tumblr*. The additional drabbles, short fanfics, headcanons, and more helped add depth to the characters in scenes we had already seen and new in-between events.

In the events prior to episode 8 (aka Audrey's first episode), Audrey stared in and helped create the series A Tell Tale Vlog. This made her a likely canidate to return for the role of Lenore in *The Lady Ghost of Salem* (aka Kissing in the Rain EP 8). Before ultimately landing and filming for the role, Audrey had serval other worries. She faced insecurities around competition for the role, bashful interactions with Henry Mancuso, and qualms with the fact that other creators had helped put together this "version" of Lenore in the movie. Though, aside from a few akward interactions that happened during her time on set and at an after-party with her costar that-she-may-or-may-not-be-attracted-to-because-he-is-so-handsome, filming for Audrey went off without a hitch! During this possible crush chaos and embarassment, Audrey's best friend, Cat, encourages her to talk to Lily about it because she should be prepared for possible future movies with Henry. She ends up talking about it to Lily; it is a slightly akward conversation (as are most talks relating to Henry), but it is also helpful.

Shortly before episode 9 (*Persuasion*), Audrey moves out into her own apartment and throws a "housewarming party." Cat, Lily, James, and many others all make appearances at her party, but, the one person who she is really looking forward to, Henry, is a no show. Towards the end of the party, she recieves a message from him explaining he could not make it because of dog troubles, and most of her worries melt away. Once they are able to start filming, Audrey is very happy when she is able to make Henry laugh with her bad jokes or hear him teasingly call her things like 'highness.' Over the following days on set, she grows more fond of and confused by his actions. Audrey tries her best to continue any conversation she can with him, even if they are slightly akward.

Leading up to episode 10 (*The Great Gatsby*), Audrey finds herself grappling with the ideas of 'love,' how it is shown, and her own love life.  Once she is back on set with Henry, other complications arise; she finds herself being annoyed by ~~and jealous of~~ on-set contest winners and Henry's publicist. While filming in the midst of it all, the two share a kiss that nods to the possible involvement of personal feelings. Their kiss and following conversation leaves Audrey overthinking every interaction they have ever had.

Not long after, Audrey finds herself starring with Henry in *I Capture the Castle* (episode 11). While they are on set to film, Audrey receives the news that she will be playing the titular role in a *Wonder Woman* adaptation. Yet, this great news is bitersweet; Henry will not be in *Wonder Woman* with her. Audrey decides that she will try to make the most of her final days on set with Henry.  After filming *I Capture the Castle*, her schedule quickly becomes full of trying to ignore internet troll opinions and preparing for her new part both physically and mentally.  Once she has a more steady schedule, the two happily agree that they will meet up for a meal or tea sometime.

Their one plan quickly turns into several more; they go on tea dates, marathons of watching shows, Hollywood graveyard movie watches, and more. And, yet, Audrey is slightly disappointed because they have not kissed even once.  The next day, her disapointment is pleasantly reversed; she opens her door to see Henry trying to stay dry from the rain! Under her doorway, the pair share two very real kisses. After, Audrey leads him inside. Sometime later, Cat teases Audrey about the whole exchange. Audrey and Henry later go on more "official" dates full of fond laughter. Three months later, Audrey finds herself tentatively calling Henry "boyfriend" and introducing him to her extended family over dinner. The dinner helps them realise how happy they are with their dorky relationship.
