"OH COME ON! I NEED A JULIETT FOR MY PLAYYY!!" Preston yelled as Nikki left the stage with a frown. "Preston if you scream criticism at your actors nobody is gonna want to do this ya know." Veronica said with a sigh. she sat down on the edge of the stage and looked at Preston. "And especially if you always cast yourself as the male protag dude, it just seems a little bit... Y'know like narcissistic or somethin." he continued. Preston fixed his shirt and rolled his eyes. "Nonsense! I am one of the best performers here, thus i should have a starring role in any production!" He said with a laugh. Veronica shook her head and took off it's hat. "I mean I'd be Juliet but i ain't kissing you dude that's like wrong on many levels, and you aren't my type really, so i could just like.. uhhh high five you?" he suggested. Preston groaned and put his hands on his hips. "Well I'd loovee that! But I'd prefer if Juliet was a sweet innocent maiden! No offence but you're not innocent or uhm, cute?" Preston said, he backed away from Veronica who had stood up at that point. "Damn right I ain't!" Veronica said with a laugh, "you look terrified, did i scare ya that much Mr. Goodplay?" Veronica laughed and ruffled prestons hair. "i swear to god veronica do not mess up my hair! it is perfect and if you ruin it i swear to all that is holy i will end you!" preston yelled as he smoothed down his hair. "jeez fine dude! look i'll find you someone to act as juliet if that makes you happy" Veronica sighed. "That would be perfect! Thank you so much!!" preston said with a wide grin.

Veronica walked into the mess hall and sat down next to Del who was listening to some music. "Heeyy, cyber-face, I can hear your music ya know." Veronica yelled, he nudged Dels arm and they looked over to Veronica while taking off their headphones. "Yeah, it's because it's so loud in here, on the topic of music, wanna listen ,i can grab my earbuds to share?" Del tilted their head and pulled some wireless earbuds out from their hoodie pocket. "No thanks, but what were you listening to? Sounded cool anyways." Veronica shook its head and leaned her arms on the table. "It's this song, the bands is really cool, the best part about it in my opinion is the guitar solos." Del showed Veronica their phone. "Niicee, a little off topic here but what do you say about helping preston with his performance thats coming up?" Veronica asked, he looked att Del with a hopeful look. "Not a chance in hell dude." Del shook their head and veronica groaned. "Oh c'mon i gotta find someone! I promised the guy i'd find him an actor!" veronica slammed her hands onto the table, startling the others sitting nearby. "H-hey watch you don't break anything!" david cautioned as they leaned over the table to look at veronica. "If i was trying to break it i would have already done it david." He pointed out as she slammed the table again. "Hey! I said be careful!" David retaliated with a slightly annoyed expression. "Veronica if you wanna break your knuckles doing that is a good idea but we all know you need your precious finger joints for playing the drums or whatever." Del crossed their arms and a smug face appeared over their mask's screen. Veronica sighed and put his hands in it's pockets. "Hey actually, i might know someone to ask for this acting role or whatever the hell you need for the goodplay kid." Del nudged veronica and pointed over to another table. "Del you're a motherfucking genius!" veronica exclaimed and patted Dels shoulder. Del nodded as veronica walked over to the table. "Hey octavia can i ask you something?" she asked, and placed a hand onto the table. "O-oh! Sure i guess?" Octavia sputtered, they were surprised by the sudden appearance of veronica behind her. "Sweet! So i gotta ask, would you be willing to take a role and act in one of prestons theatre things? You'd do a great job for the role that is empty!" veronica continued, it smiled at octavia. "Well, i'm not really.. Whats the word for it.. Uhm teatralske?" octavia mumbled, she realised her mistake and sighed. "Wait that's wrong, uhh i'm not very theatre like?" they said, unsure of her words. "Ah! You're not theatrical? Thats fine prestons a good teacher he can help!" veronica said with a smile. "Ah that is helpful, i shall speak with him as soon as i can!" octavia smiled and got out of her seat and left the mess hall.
