"KATELYN! KATELYN!" You heard Garroth and Laurance call.
You sat in your chair practicing you reading.
Katelyn asked you to read over the skript to see if it was a good or not but you got all embarressed and started blushing.
She asked what was wrong and you embarrassingly said you didn't know how to read.
She told Aphmau making her look at you weird.
She bought you a childrens book so you could learn to read.
Katelyn said if you can finish the book before the play starts she'll let you read the script.
So now your determined to read every single word in this book if it kills you.
"What do you guys want! I'm right here." Katelyn scoffed.
"S-Say Katelyn...Aaron said he wasn't feeling to well tonight and that he needed to drop out of the play." You growled as your ears fell.
Their lying.
"Are you serious!? The play is TONIGHT! We've been rehearsing for the past two days! Why isn't he here telling me himself?!"
"Cause their lying!" You pouted.
"We saw him the other day and he looked fine!" You glared.
"Y/N!" Laurance and Garroth whispear yelled.
"Don't listen to her! Shes a kid!" Laurance smiled.
"You know kids and their crazy imaginations!" Garroth and Laurance smiled, covering your mouth.
You pouted and growled at them.
"Ugh...Well Garroth you're his understudy. So I guess if he can't make it...You get the part."
"YES! THE KISS IS MINE!" Garroth grinned.
"Hey Katelyn! The set as secure--Jeez Garroth! Whats with your giddy face?" Dante questioned, walking in.
"Aaron to drop out of the play due to an illness so Garroth, being his understudy, gets the roll." Katelyn scoffed.
"Uh...Aaron is backstage rehearsing his lines..."
"SEE! FIBBERS!" You pouted.
"WHAT!?" Garroth and Laurance yelled.
"Are you kidding me." Katelyn deadpanned.
They whispeared to eachother making you roll their eyes.
"THATS IT! LAURANCE, GARROTH! THIS IS THE THIRD TIME YOU'VE TRIED TO GET AARON OUT OF THE ROLL OF ROMEO! ONE MORE TIME BEFORE THIS PLAY STARTS AND I WON'T HAVE YOU IN THE PLAY AT ALL!" Katelyn yelled.
"Now...If you exscuse me...I need ti make sure Cadenza is done with the costumes." Katelyn spoke, more calmly then she previously was.
"DANTE!" Garroth and Laurance yelled.
They argued with eachither as you read their book.
This play is important to Katelyn.
You weren't letting these idiots you think as brothers screw it up.
"What with all the yelling Dante~Kun! What didn't Garroth~Kun and Laurance~Kun tell you?" Kawaii~Chan questioned.
"Ah. Kawaii~Chan. They were trying to get Aaron out of his roll as--"
"DANTE NO!"
"DON'T MAKE HER ANGRY!" Laurance and Garroth yelled.
"Huh? How is telling her that you trying to stop the kissing scene between Aphmau and Aaron going to make her angry?" Dante questioned.
You facepalmed.
Oh hes done it now.
"W-What did you say?" Kawaii~Chan questioned, her voice trembling slightly.
"Oh. Garroth and Laurance have huge crushes on Aphmau and the thought of her kissing Aaron--"
"Their...Trying to sink the ship?"
Oh!
So thats what a ship is!
Its like...Two people you like together!
That makes so much more sense now.
You smiled at the new found explanation.
"Uh...Are you okay Kawaii~Chan?"
"Oh! Kawaii~Chans is perfectly fine! Garroth~Kun, Laurance~Kun. Good luck on the play tonight!" She cheekily giggled.
Your ears fell nervously.
"I swear. That girl makes Zero sense sometimes. Anyways, opening night is tonight! And if you guys don't come uo with something fast that kiss is GOING to happen!"
"Ugh...I'm going to go backstage and get ready for my main role as Prince Escalus. We just have to accept the inevitable." Garroth sighed, walking away.
"I think you should just give up. Aphmau'll choose who she wants to be with. You shouldn't force it." You smiled.
"Yeah. I guess your right. Besides, it would take a miracle to stop that kiss from happening." Laurance sighed.
"Did someone say miracle?" A female voice questioned.
A girl with ruby red eyes and orange hair came in making you yelp.
You hid behind Laurance.
This is new.
SHE is new.
Have you met her before?
She looks fimilar...Nope.
You've never seen her.
"Lucinda!?" Dante yelled.
"Thats right~"
"Your back in town!?" "Yup! Came back today~ Nicole told me of the play Katelyns directing so---Oh? Whos that? I can see you hiding y'know..." She cooed.
You looked at her ears low.
"Oh. This is Y/N. Shes staying with the girls for a little bit. Even though Aphmau acts like her mother..." Laurance chuckled.
He urged you to say hi and you only waved.
The woman named 'Lucinda' chuckled at you and bent down.
"Come'ere~" She smiled.
You walked toward her fiddling with your hands.
"Hi." You mumbled.
"Well aren't you the cutest puppy ever~" She smiled, picking you up.
"If Aphmaus like a Mom to you...Then just call me Auntie Lucy~!" She smiled sweetly.
You smiled brightly and nodded.
"Okay Auntie Lucy!" You beamed.
"Anyways...I heard your little dilemma. Is there something wrong?" Lucinda questioned.
"Its really none of your buisness." Laurance scoffed.
"Oh what a shame~ And here I was about to give you the answer to your problems..."
"Which is?"
"A very special potion I made. Here, Take this. When Romeo is about to kiss Aphmau, throw it on him. You'll instantly switch places and boom! You get the kiss~" Lucinda smiled.
"Really?!"
"No way!" Laurance and Dante grinned.
"Don't tell me your helping them!" You groaned.
"Don't worry hun. If I know the boys, they'll screw it up somehow..." Lucinda whispeared to you.
You nodded and smirked cheekily.
"Wait...Your just giving it to me?"
"Consider it a favor~ I haven't tested it so really, this is my chance to see it in action! Break a leg!" She smiled, she put you down and ruffled your head.
You smiled before turning to the guys pouting.
"Are you really going to give that to Garroth?"
"Psh. No way. He walked off! This is my chance to steal that kiss~"
"Alright, just make sure you hold onto it tight. I might try to steal it myself~"
"Dante!"
"I honestly think this is a bad idea and is gonna blow up in your face. But! I guess you can't reason with idiots." You smirked smugly.
"Come'ere you!" Laurance growled, tickling your sides.
You laughed as he pulled you into a hug while laughing.
Dante chuckled and shook his head at you both.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
You put a bow in Aphmaus hair while standing on a stool smiling.
"You look great!" You beamed.
She only sighed in response.
Just the Zane walked in wearing his costume. You must say, he does look kinda dashing.
"So, How are you feeling about tonight?" He questioned.
"Very nervous...We only had two days to rehearse. It hardly seems like enough!"
"Well thats how long we've only got this place for so...We have to make due. In any case, I wasn't asking about the play itself. I mean the kissing scene. Thats the part you seem most nervous about." Zane scoffed.
You pulled him over to you and started brushing his hair.
"U-Uh...Hehe...Y-Yeah..." Aphmau blushed.
"Why are you so--" "Aphmau! Y/N! Zane...."
"Jeffory..." They both glared.
"Aphmau! Thanks for doing this for Katelyn. I cannot thank you enough!"
"Ehe.. Yeaaah....No problem..."
"After this, I'm taking everyone out to dinner at my favorite place!"
"Can Zane come?"
"Ugh...I suppose. Since your doing this favor. Tell him he can come."
"Uh...Hes right he--" You got cut off by Jeffory.
"Anyway, see you after the play! Break a leg! Not literally! Unless its you Zane!" He said with enthusiasm.
"TEN MINETES UNTIL CURTAIN CALL!" Katelyn yelled.
"Ten minetes!" Aphmay panicked.
"Calm down Aphmau, you'll do fine."
"Mhm! I'm positive you'll knock everyone outta their seats with your acting skills!" You and Zane reassured.
"B-But what if Garroth and Laurance try to ruin Katelyns play?"
"Personally I don't think it can be ruined more then it already is..." Zane scoffed.
"Zane! Thats rude!" "Not cool!" You pouted, continuing to brush his hair.
"Sorry! I jus---Gah! Nevermind. I don't write scripts so I guess I can't judge but--"
"FIVE MINETES! EVERYONE TO THE STAGE!" Katelyn yelled.
"Break a leg!"
"You too Zane."
"You'll both do great! I'm a style genius!" You smiled.
They both laughed before Aphmau sighed.
"Here we go..." She breathed out.
((⚠️Warning, I didn't know how to spell half of the words everyone was saying so if the spelling is wrong and the original script was different, you are free t blame me...⚠️))
You watched from the side as Travis got on stage.
"Two households...Both alike in dignity...In fair Verona where we kay out scene, for ancient Grudge break into new munity. Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean...from forth the Fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star crossed lovers will take their life..." Everyone cheered as you wagged your tail.
Travis really was a good actor!
Why didn't he act more often?
Skipping a head a bit...The play is actually going quiet well!
"Stop this quarrel! Do you not know what you do!?" Dante called.
"They know of what they do alright~"
Zane--Er...Tybalt! Smirked.
"Tybalt! Put up your sword! Or manage it to stop this quarrel with me!" "Whats this? Your sword is drawn and yet you talk of peace! Heh! I hate the very word...as I hate all montagues! Have at thee!"
They began to fight as you grinned.
"Its going great!" Travis chuckled, ruffling your head.
Romeo and Juliet stared at eachother threw the fish glass as you sniffled.
Kawaii~Chan hugged you, also tearing up.
"Its...So beautiful!" She sniffled.
Then there was the balcony scene.
You helped Aphmau rehearse those lines for so long, you could probably be Juliet yourself!
"Romeo...Romeo...Where or art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name...Ah! A text! From my love!" She smiled.
"I can't believe Katelyn left in a texting scene!" Travis snickered.
"Aha! Thats as modern as you get!"
"Ah this is a TRAVIS-sty to theature! What idiot would want a texting scene anyways?" You smiled up at Travis before breaking down into tears.
"A-Ah! I didn't mean you Y/N! Your not an idiot!" He smiled, nervously.
"Great. You made her cry..." Dante sighed, as people began to cheer.
The wedding scene was up next and you had dried your tears by then.
Of course your feelings were still hurt but you'll get over it.
"And by Friar Laurence~Samas hand, I bless this Union~!" Kawaii~Chan grinned.
"Okay...Forget the texting scene...Kawaii~Chan got the part if Friar Laurance..."
"Well...She really wanted to marry them in the play!" Dante mumbled.
"Which is scary fitting for her..."
Laurance died in the play as you teared up.
Others gasped.
"Romeo..." He called, taking his last breath.
"Laurance...Nooo..." You sniffed. Aaron took out his sword and 'stabbed' Zane.
It looked a bit real though.
You lightly yelped, your ears and tail sticking straight up.
"I-I'm dead! Must...update...facebook...status..." He gagged, falling to the ground.
"I think Zane needs a few acting lessons." Dante scoffed.
"Hes trying his best!" You defended.
"I think this play is a little to modern if you ask me."
"Me and Katelyn wrote this play Travis!" You sniffled.
"I-Its still good! Its my opinion! No hate~!" Travis smiled, hoping you wouldn't cry again.
Dante shook his head in dismay.
When there was an intermission, you fixed Aphmaus hair and clothing so shes ready for the kissing scene.
You smiled and held up breath spray.
"Say ah!"
"Why do I need to say---Ah!" Aphmau sputtered.
"Y/N!? Why'd you do that!"
"Hm? Oh! I found this breath spray! I asked Dante what it was and he says its to freshen your breath for kissing!"
"A warning would've been nice."
"I did say, 'Say Ah.'." You deadpanned.
"Not what I ment..." Aphmau sighed.
"FIND AARON! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" You heard Katelyn yell, making your werewolf ear twitch.
"ITS FIVE MINETES UNTIL THE CURTAIN CALL!"
"Kawaii~Chan has looked everywhere and Aaron~Kun was no where to be found!" Kawaii~Chan shreiked.
"I can't find him either!" Travis commented.
"Then find Garroth! We need a Romeo!"
"I can't find him either! Or Laurance for that matter!" You growled and sniffed the air.
Your sense of smell hasn't gotten that advanced yet so you could only smell the people in the room.
Separating smells and sounds was hard for you.
This had to have been the boy's doing...
"Don't tell me that--Uh...Oh! Garroth!"
"I'm here! Whats up?"
"You guys didn't do anything to Aaron did you?" Aphmau growled.
"U-Uh no...I haven't seen him." Garroth stammered lightly.
You lowered your head and raised your eyes behind Aphmau to make yourself and her more threatening.
For once, it was working!
Garroth gulped as you opened your mouth to speak.
"Are you lying?" You glared, your eyes glinting a little bit.
"N-No! Not at all!" He assured.
You stopped your glare but still gave him the side eye.
"Alright! Well, Garroth! You got the part of Romeo! Quick! Theres only four minetes!"
"W-Wait a minete! The audience will be able to tell he's not the real Romeo, it'll break their immersion!"
"Your right! Garroth, put in this helment! It'll give Aphmau the chance to kiss you AND the audience won't be able to tell you're not Aaron!"
"What!? K-Kiss...Garroth now?"
You pouted at Garroths smiling face.
"Hurry! Theres 3 minetes until the finale scene!"
You watched from the side leaning against the wall still pouting.
You don't care WHOS kissing Aphmau.
You were honestly just worried about Aaron.
"Whats here...A cup? Enclosed in mine true loves hand? Poison I see...Have been Timeless end...Oh curl! Drink on, left not a friendly drop. I shall kiss thy lips...Happily some poison yet thought Hang on them..."
"Its now or never!" Laurance mumbled.
You panicked as Kawaii~Chan came up behind Laurance.
He tossed the potion as your cheeks dusted with pink.
This is...New.
"What the!?" Dante yelped.
Laurance and Garroth kissed as you stared at them confused.
Are they lovers now?
If not then why did they kiss?
They honestly look kinda into it though.
They screamed as you laughed.
Dante and Travis joined you as the audience went wild and clapped their hands.
"Thats what they get!"
"Ohh! What a Bromance!" Kawaii~Chan and Aphmau laughed.
After the play, Travis came back with Aaron.
"I found Aaron locked in the bathroom." You smiled and hugged him.
He smiled back and ruffled your head.
"Garroth~Kun!" Kawaii~Chan pouted.
"Kawaii~Chan, calm down. I think Garrith AND Laurance have both learned their lesson tonight." Aphmau giggled.
"You guys were cute~ Now let that be a lesson to you both...Never. Let your jealousy. Drive you. Again."
"Mhm." You nodded.
"NEVER! AGAIN!"
"LESSON! LEARNED!"
"Wow you guys! The play was a success! Ah! Instead of doing the Romeo and Juliet sad ending, it was a SHOCK ending! We HAVE to do it again!" Garroth and Laurance objected making laugh.
You rubbed the back of your head smiling.
I guess that Lucinda was right!
Garroth and Laurance did mix up their plans and screwed it up.
In a funny way~
