Transcript
00:00I was enjoying my ice cream cone when I heard screaming and saw people running from a nearby bank.
00:05Most girls would go for safety, but I am not like most girls.
00:08I ran towards the bank and saw a robber in a ski mask holding a hostage.
00:12I had to think fast.
00:13I pulled my hood over my head, hid my ice cream cone around my back, and entered the bank.
00:17Nobody move! I'm robbing this bank!
00:19The robber turned around, totally confused.
00:22Uh, this is awkward. I'm actually robbing this place, so...
00:27No way! What a coincidence! Let's team up.
00:30Sorry, sister. I work alone.
00:32As the robber moved his gun to talk to me, I threw my ice cream, splattering him in the face.
00:37I moved like the flash, grabbed his gun, pointed it at him, and he surrendered immediately.
00:42Hi, I'm Astrid, and all I've ever wanted to be is a hero.
00:46Fun fact, I'm actually the youngest girl to ever go through Navy SEAL training.
00:50Well, thanks to my military family.
00:52I'm the youngest girl of five brothers, all in the Marines.
00:55I know what you're thinking.
00:56Wow, that's military training in itself, right?
00:59And you are so right.
01:00But before I continue my truly action-packed girl power story, please like and subscribe.
01:05Everyone was telling me how heroic I was.
01:07I felt amazing, until I overheard one handsome guy in the crowd respond.
01:12Wow, she's amazing!
01:14Yeah, she's brave, but also stupid to put herself and others in danger.
01:18She should have let the police handle it.
01:20What the... What was his deal?
01:22I turned towards that jerk to give him a piece of my mind, but a muscular hand grabbed my arm and pulled me away.
01:27My eyes sparkled with excitement when I realized that hand belonged to Aiden, my oldest brother's best friend from boot camp.
01:34And I totally had the biggest crush on him ever since I saw him hugging my brother at his graduation.
01:40Wow, Astrid. I was in the area and saw everything.
01:43Can I take you out for lunch?
01:45Pinch me, because Aiden just asked me out on a date.
01:49Are you okay?
01:51Sir, yes, sir. I followed Aiden to a nearby park where he had rented a rowboat for us.
01:56This was my notebook moment, minus the dying grandparents.
01:59I prepared myself for Aiden's love confession when he leaned in. I readied my lips.
02:04Now that we're alone, I wanted to offer you a job on behalf of the president.
02:09Uh, what?
02:11I work in secret operations, and there's a job you'd be perfect for. Have you ever considered going undercover?
02:17Like a spy? Not really.
02:19We've been chasing this exotic animal trader known as Wildcat Carla.
02:23We think she just stole a bunch of albino tigers from a nature preserve and wants to turn them into coats.
02:28What a monster. But wait, the president cares that much about animals?
02:33Actually, the president wants her in jail for other things as well, but they're top secret.
02:37Ah.
02:38We also discovered she's looking for a housekeeper, and we need to get you on the inside.
02:43So you want me to pretend to be a housekeeper just to collect evidence on this Carla cat girl?
02:48Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm good at cleaning.
02:51No, but you were raised by a military family, and I've been to your house. It's spotless.
02:56He had a point. We have a saying at home, cleanliness is close to godliness.
03:00We need a girl so it's not suspicious, especially one who can defend herself just in case.
03:05Someone I can trust completely, and it's only you who comes to mind.
03:09Mind? Aw, I wish I was closer to his heart than his mind.
03:13And if you're able to confirm that Carla has the tigers, we'll pay you three million dollars.
03:18I'm in. That wasn't a bad deal. I got the job easily, but when I showed up, I realized this place was a dump.
03:25No wonder no one else wanted this job. I turned a corner cleaning when, crash!
03:30I slammed into one Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome.
03:33To my shock, it was the same jerk who called me stupid after I had saved all those people at the bank.
03:38Thankfully, he didn't recognize me.
03:40Ah-choo!
03:41Then this thirst trap started sneezing everywhere.
03:44Suddenly, Wildcat Carla came running in.
03:46What have you done, you stupid girl? My son, Mason, is highly allergic to dust.
03:51Ah-choo!
03:54And he sneezed right on Carla's face.
03:56Ahem, I'll fix this.
04:00I grabbed Mason and ran to the bathroom, throwing him into the shower as fast as I could.
04:04As water poured down on us, Mason stopped sneezing.
04:07If he wasn't known as a jerk or I was so worried about keeping my job, I would have considered this romantic.
04:12I turned off the water, but Mason kept blinking at me.
04:15Uh, you good?
04:17Yeah, you saved me.
04:19You can stay. For now.
04:21And Carla disappeared back into the darkness.
04:23I'm sorry.
04:24Don't be. I'm just a housekeeper. But if I save a few lives, I guess that's a win-win.
04:29No, I mean about my mom. She can be a lot. Sure you're up for this?
04:33Why wouldn't I be?
04:34You look delicate, and it's a tough job.
04:36And then I grabbed him with one hand and pulled him to his feet in one swoop.
04:40Mason was floored. Literally.
04:42How's that for delicate?
04:44I walked off like the awesome boss I am.
04:46The look on Mason's face told me he would not make that mistake again.
04:50The next day when sweeping, I saw Carla enter a suspicious warehouse on the edge of her property.
04:55I was just done setting up some microphones when…
04:57Well, if it isn't my hot housekeeper.
05:00The name is Astrid.
05:01I'm throwing a party here tonight, and I want you to clean it up for me.
05:04Since you are my employee.
05:06And then, with a flip of his hair, he walked away before I could answer.
05:10I showed up to the party that night with a new plus one.
05:13My mop. Romantic, right?
05:15But Mason's friends were bigger jerks than he was.
05:17They started having mess-making contests and would force me to clean up after them,
05:22laugh, then make a mess all over again.
05:24You better stop unless you want me to kick all of your butts.
05:27Before I could even wind up my fist,
05:29Mason snapped his fingers and security escorted those losers out.
05:33She is my housekeeper, not yours!
05:35Um, hello? I don't need you to fight my battles for me.
05:39I can clean up after myself.
05:41But as I stepped forward to give it to him,
05:43I slipped on a spilled drink and clumsily fell into Mason's arms.
05:46My face instantly flushed.
05:48Looks like you need to be a better housekeeper.
05:50Want to dance?
05:51But before I could reject him,
05:53this pretty girl pulled Mason away and started dancing with him.
05:56Ew! Don't dance with the help. Dance with me.
05:59My stomach clenched. What a rude and privileged girl.
06:02But also, oh no, was this jealousy I was feeling?
06:05Stop it, Astrid. Don't get attached.
06:07Suddenly, this muscular dude came up to the two of them and pulled Mason away.
06:11That's my girlfriend, jerk!
06:13He threw a punch at Mason.
06:15Out of instinct, I jumped in, blocked it,
06:17then flipped the bully onto a nearby table, shattering it.
06:20Mason looked at me like I was Wonder Woman.
06:22How did you do that?
06:24Uh, my parents taught me karate straight out of the womb.
06:27It wasn't a total lie.
06:29That was incredible. I want you to teach me how to fight.
06:32Just like that. Starting tomorrow.
06:34Wait, what?
06:35That night I called Aiden and told him everything.
06:38Astrid, you can't get involved with Mason. His mother's a criminal.
06:42I'm not getting involved. I want you, dummy.
06:45Actually, that's not a bad idea.
06:47You should get Mason to fall in love with you.
06:49Maybe then he'll tell you his mother's secrets.
06:51I don't want to be his girlfriend.
06:53He's called me stupid when I saved everyone at the bank.
06:55You're undercover, Astrid.
06:57This is your chance to get him back, make him fall in love with you,
07:00and then show him who's really stupid.
07:02I guess he had a point.
07:04The next morning, Mason burst into my room as excited as a schoolgirl.
07:08Training time, training time, it's Astrid and Mason's training time.
07:12Gosh, he was annoying.
07:14But why did he look cute being excited?
07:16Ugh, focus, Astrid.
07:18Aiden's idea was already paying off
07:20because Mason took me into the warehouse through a key card he kept in his jacket.
07:24Noted.
07:25But inside, no tigers.
07:27Show me what you got.
07:28And what he had was pathetic.
07:30Mason got tired after two tiny punches.
07:33You're going to need more focus if you want to defend yourself.
07:36Yeah, I know. Mom tried to teach me how to fight once.
07:39I got one punch in and she spent three hours telling me everything I did wrong for one punch.
07:44She was right. I should just give up.
07:46No, Mason. You have what it takes.
07:48Just, you have to believe in yourself.
07:50You got this.
07:51He got back up, more confident than before.
07:53Sure, he wasn't perfect by the end of the day, but he had thrown some solid hits.
07:57He even hugged me.
07:58Thank you for believing in me.
08:00Uh, anytime?
08:02Hey, uh, my mom wants you to come with me to her zoo tomorrow.
08:05I'm in.
08:06This was the first big lead I had in weeks.
08:08But when we pulled up, a protesting group of animal lovers blocked the entrance.
08:13They had signs accusing Mason's mom of animal cruelty.
08:16Mason instantly turned the car around.
08:17He didn't speak for the whole drive back.
08:19He seemed embarrassed.
08:21We got back into Mason's and he looked really sad.
08:24So I grabbed his hand and my heart fluttered a bit.
08:27Is everything okay?
08:28I have to be honest with you, Astrid.
08:30My mom didn't actually order you to come to the zoo with me.
08:33I like you and I was worried you'd say no.
08:36You're the strongest, most beautiful girl I've ever met.
08:39Aw, thanks.
08:41My mom's been accused of some bad stuff.
08:43None of it is true.
08:44But I understand if you don't want to be with me.
08:46Mason, I work for your mom and I don't want her to get the wrong idea.
08:50I had to wrap this mission up as soon as possible.
08:53I knew Aiden said I could hurt him, but that doesn't mean I should.
08:56Besides, I actually started to like him.
08:58That night when Mason was asleep, I snuck into his room and stole his key card from his jacket.
09:03I entered the warehouse, but a hand grabbed me and turned me around.
09:06It was Mason!
09:07Astrid, how did you get my key card?
09:09I, uh, you gave me this.
09:11What? When?
09:12I panicked, grabbed his shirt, and kissed him as hard as I could.
09:15Mason, I changed my mind. I am madly in love with you.
09:18I knew it.
09:19I guess I had distracted him well because he only said...
09:22I have a surprise for you tomorrow.
09:24The next day, I was shocked to see a helicopter waiting for us.
09:27Mason flew us up to have the most romantic dinner of my life on top of a frozen mountain.
09:32I had the chef make you one of everything, since I wasn't sure what was your favorite.
09:36He held out a rose like the absolute gentleman I realized he was.
09:39Uh, I really have to pee.
09:41I called Aiden, but he was totally aloof.
09:44For all we know, those tigers could be coats by now due to your puppy love routine.
09:48I'm just doing what you told me to do.
09:50Well, do it better. You're running out of time.
09:53The next morning, I woke up with a horrible cold, probably from the snow,
09:57and Mason was sitting on the edge of my bed staring at me like I was an art exhibit.
10:01I should have brought you a coat, too. This is all my fault. Let me take care of you.
10:05And before I could say anything, Mason sprung into action.
10:08Wow, you're really good at this.
10:10I love nursing things back to health.
10:12Did you know I always wanted to be a vet?
10:14No way.
10:15Way? I love animals so much. Their cute little faces, they're the best.
10:19I would never do anything to hurt them.
10:21You can still be a vet if you want.
10:23You don't understand. After my dad left us, there was only Mom, so I couldn't say no to her.
10:28And she wanted me to follow her footsteps in her business.
10:31And what kind of business is that?
10:33If I show you, will you promise to keep it a secret?
10:36I nodded. This was my chance. And Mason pulled me out of bed.
10:40He took me inside the warehouse and used his key card to open the secret door behind a punching mat.
10:45Whoa!
10:46Shh! Mom can't know I took you here.
10:48We walked down some secret steps into a huge pen where I was confronted with all the tigers.
10:53I instantly took a pic and hit send to aid me.
10:56Gotcha!
10:57Hey, you can't do that!
10:58Sorry. Just instinct.
10:59Well, just don't send them to anyone.
11:01My mom is protecting these endangered animals from being experimented on.
11:05Are you sure?
11:06Yes, of course. That's what she told me.
11:08Had I just made a huge mistake?
11:10Maybe Mason's mom wasn't the Cruella de Vil I was told she was.
11:13Uh, gotta pee again.
11:15I ran up the stairs and called Aiden.
11:17Great job, Astrid.
11:18The special agents are on their way because of you.
11:21Tell the police to stay where they are.
11:22Carla is protecting the tigers, not turning them into coats.
11:25He's lying to you, Astrid.
11:27I don't...
11:28Ah! Suddenly, two strong hands grabbed me.
11:30It was Carla!
11:31I knew I never should have hired you!
11:33Mom! Let go of my girlfriend!
11:35We turned to see Mason standing in the corner, distraught.
11:38Some girlfriend.
11:39This little double agent just called the cops on Mommy's operation.
11:43Astrid? You what?
11:44I can explain, Mason.
11:46Your mom wanted to turn the tigers into coats, not save them.
11:49Mom, is this true?
11:50And by the sheer look on Carla's face, I could tell it was true.
11:54Just then, the military burst into the warehouse, arrested her, and rounded up all the tigers safely.
11:59And then a familiar arm wrapped itself around me.
12:01Great work, Astrid.
12:03It takes a lot to pretend to fall in love with someone just to get information out of them.
12:07You've earned this.
12:08And he handed me a suitcase filled with cash.
12:10I turned around to see Mason staring at me.
12:12Aiden got to him first, though.
12:14She's come a long way from that stupid girl at the bank, hasn't she?
12:18What? That was you? I knew you looked familiar!
12:21Mason, wait. It's not what you think.
12:23I can't believe I trusted you, Astrid!
12:25I gave you my heart, and you locked my mom up!
12:28Mason, I'm sorry. I like you!
12:30Yeah, right. You think I believe you after you just lied to my face for months?
12:34Goodbye, Astrid. Forever.
12:36I couldn't blame him for blowing up on me,
12:38but he didn't realize that I had actually fallen in love with him during everything.
12:42The next week, Aiden asked me out.
12:44This was everything I thought I wanted.
12:46Yet, why did I feel so sad about Mason?
12:49He took me out on a rowboat again, but this time he leaned in and said,
12:52The president wants to hire you as a full-time secret agent, if you want.
12:56What? I thought you were going to tell me you loved me.
12:59Oh, Astrid, I do love you. Just not in that way.
13:02Didn't you know your brother and I are a couple?
13:05I was definitely happy for them, but I also felt silly for obsessing over Aiden for years.
13:10Clearly, I wasn't his type.
13:12So, what's it going to be? You want the job?
13:14But I politely turned him down.
13:16Going undercover wasn't worth it if it meant hurting someone I cared about.
13:19I texted Mason a novel of an apology, but he blocked my number.
13:23I guess I deserved it.
13:24A few years later, I was walking in the park when I saw a hurt baby bird.
13:28I wrapped it gently in my handkerchief and was pointed to the best animal hospital in town.
13:32When I arrived there, I was shocked to see Mason tending to a sick hamster.
13:36My heart raced. It had been too long.
13:39I pushed the door open and Mason looked up.
13:41For a split second, our eyes locked.
13:43The world seemed to fade, then reality set back in.
13:46I found this little one and thought you'd be able to help.
13:48I heard you're the best in town.
13:50Mason smiled softly.
13:51Always the hero, huh, Astrid?
13:54As we looked at each other, the weight of our past seemed both heavy and distant.
13:58I'm sorry, Mason.
14:00Not just for how things ended, but for everything.
14:03It hurt, Astrid.
14:04Not just what happened with my mother, but thinking that everything between us was just an act.
14:09It wasn't.
14:10Not all of it.
14:11Not the moments that truly mattered.
14:13Mason took a deep breath, releasing the bird which flew away.
14:16Second chances are rare, but I believe everyone deserves one.
14:20Even someone like me?
14:21He reached out, wiping away a tear with his thumb.
14:24Especially for someone like you.
14:26The room suddenly felt lighter and we both felt hopeful.
14:29We knew there were tough times ahead, but together, it felt like we could do anything.
