"So, I'm totally trying out for the play!"
Miranda's announcement made Lizzie jump five feet in the air.
::Cartoon Lizzie:: I was just kind of daydreaming about Ethan Craft, what he would say to me the day he'd
propose, what our kids will look like, you know, the usual - wait, the play?!?!
"You're what?" Lizzie questioned.
"I'm trying out for the play...actually...we both are." Miranda trailed off.
"Wait, WHAT?!?! Miranda! You did NOT sign me up!"
"McGuire, what are yelling about?" Gordo suddenly appeared from out behind a crowd.
"Miranda signed me up to audition for the play!"
Gordo chuckled. "I thought you got over that whole stage fright thing this summer, Lizzie. What happened?"
Lizzie paused for a second to think. "Well, for singing, yeah, but not for speaking-"
Gordo interrupts, "And isn't it Shakespeare, Miranda?"
"Great! Shakespeare! Even worse! I won't be able to read it, let alone speak it!" Lizzie wailed.
"Oh, Lizzie, it won't be that bad." Miranda reassured her. "Who knows? You might be a natural."
::Cartoon Lizzie:: Hmm. A natural, huh? ::pick up a skull:: To be or not to be. That is the question.
"Well, maybe," Lizzie said. "How 'bout it, Gordo? You want to audition with us?"
"Uh...no." Gordo stammered. "Let's think about the last time I was onstage in a play."
"Oh jeez, Gordo," Miranda laughed, "we were in third grade!"
Lizzie tried not to laugh. Gordo is so cute when he gets uncomfortable.
::Cartoon Lizzie:: I didn't just think that, did I? Weird...
The trio begin to walk to class, passing a sign for the play. On it reads, "Donkeys! Fairies! Love affairs! Come and audition for William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Mr. Diggs."
