Character popping into scene too late, not sure where to place fade command

Hey!

So I’m having three characters running along side each other in a scene, and the scene opens on them already running.

My main character (JANE) is already on screen, but the other two character (HEATHER and VANESSA) are popping on like a second after her. I would also like the scene to fade in, but I’m not sure where to place the fade in command, since when I put it in first, the fade happens, THEN the characters all pop on late.

Here’s my code:

EXT. CITY HIGHWAY LOOP - NIGHT
@transition fade in 2
music music_action_lp
@JANE stands screen center in zone 1 AND JANE is run_athletic_neutral_loop
&VANESSA stands screen left in zone 1 AND VANESSA is run_athletic_neutral_loop AND VANESSA faces right
&HEATHER stands screen right in zone 1 AND HEATHER is run_athletic_neutral_loop AND HEATHER faces right
NARRATOR
Pause.

Thanks!
