A/N: Okay. So listen, this is actually based directly off the musical, but it doesn't have a category for Matilda: The Musical, so just think of it as AU for the book. I'm having a lot of fun writing this and I will tell you one thing, it is in fact Matilda based even though I do not mention names. It's on purpose to try to guess who each character is thanks.

Disclaimer: Don't really own that much of it…

"Sis, Sis!" the young acrobat called for her sister. "We got engaged!" She said joyfully motioning to the escapologist standing beside her.

"Oh, congratulations sis." The acrobat's sister replied in a slimy tone.

"What?" The acrobat replied noticing her sister's tone.

"Oh it's nothing." She replied, I'm just so, what's the word, surprised." She said in a similar tone. "I didn't think you two would be so quick to tie the knot is all."

"Well, we though about that." The escapologist said.

"But" The acrobat cut him off. "We thought that we were ready. We have a thriving circus under our hands and we both agree that marrying young is a good idea for children. That way-"

"As they grow up. The escapologist finished for her. "We can spend time with them while we are still highly agile." He concluded smiling and kissing his fiancee.

They both had a habit of finishing each other's sentences. The acrobat's sister, who was not only 10 years older than the acrobat, but also had a very unlucky love life, scowled at this remark. "

See you at the wedding" The escapologist said exiting the house.

On the acrobat's eighteenth birthday, which happened to also be the escapologist's twenty-third birthday, the young couple was married. The sister did show up, but she wasn't there for good. There had been numerous times that night that she tried to do something to potentially harm her sister and her new husband, but they all went unnoticed and/or failed.

"Hello folks" The acrobat said to the giant crowd under the big top. "I understand that for some of you this will be the only time you are here so what I am about to tell you is meaningless. If you will just bear with me though, we do have several reoccurring guests." She said motioning towards the box seats closest to her. "We just got married!" She continued hugging the escapologist with her right arm and presenting the ring on her left hand.

People 'Oh'ed even though they could probably not see the silver-banded diamond ring or the wedding band on her finger.

"Yes, but" the escapologist continued on, we are still going to be both performing and traveling under our usually schedule so do not fret at any of that. Now ladies and gentleman, the opening act."

Years past, but the young couple was unfortunately unable to conceive. No matter how often they tried, they could never have the child they always wanted. Though very upset by this, the young couple continued on as the main attractions of the circus. Nine years later, the acrobat's sister arranged an extravagant new feat for them: The Burning Woman Hurling through the Air, with Dynamites in her Hair, over Sharks and Spiky Objects Caught by the Man Locked in the Cage. The act was arranged to be performed in a few months time. When the crowd found out, they all jumped out of their seats for they had never scene an act to that extreme performed at this circus.

Hey guys, so this was my first Matilda fic so I want to hear what you guys have to say about it. Don't be afraid to tell me your critics. I have only read the book/ seen the movie once so if there are any details that don't make sense (if you know which character is which) then don't be afraid to tell me. I'll try to update soon.
