AUTHOR'S NOTE 4.3.13...here's my first story, written in September of 2011, posted in February 2012. This story's probably the most typo-ridden in the history of fanfiction. Honest. It's a mess. My names of the narrators were picked in less than five minutes, my spacing is insane, and what's a bold word doing in one of my stories? I have a rewrite, ready to be posted once ISW's done. Because this...bleh.
Ugh. No matter. It's a start, no matter how atrocious it is.
Below is the unchanged version of Arabian Nights, created during the days of Amanda j granger :P. Enjoy ;)
Hey everybody! I finally got my charger, so I can upload stories now! This is my first fan fiction. I think I spaced everything correctly so it wouldn't be one huge paragraph….if it is, tell me how to fix it! Anyway, the place in this story is a real place. I just changed the name. I was in this play before. And I had the same part as Willa. I really enjoyed it….probably the best play I've been in. And most of the characters ( including the Narrators and Carrie ) are real.. There will be more installments about this place soon! Any questions or if you are confused about something, tell me! Alright…ENJOY!
DISCLAIMER- Nope, don't own nuttin'. Wish I did.
Arabian nights
Willa P.O.V...
I nervously put on my lipstick. Mike check ended a few minutes ago. I closed my caboodle and grabbed my "Friend Like Me" outfit. I was ready to go. But not quite. I'm really scared for tonight.
I was at my theater camp, Hp+p, which stood for Harrisfield plays and players. The Harrisfield theater was where I let loose. Did what I those years of training are about to become worth it
Or it may not. But hopefully it will.
I ran to the stage humming Arabian nights. Yes, I was in Aladdin. Jr. I was Narrator 2, out of 6. I had two solos singing lines, 10+ ensemble songs, 15+ lines, and 5+ dances. I was scared out of my mind. Plus, Philby is coming. What if I sing bad in front of him? And the rest of the keepers? I cant do that. They would laugh.
I made it to the curtainless stage, I ran backstage and saw the rest of the narrators there. Allison, Dominique, Ginny, Alyssa and Mackenzie. Allison's one year older than me and the rest are 17- ish. I'm the baby of the group. They have been coming to this camp forever, and this is only my 2nd session here. So I felt kind of honored that me, the newbie, is part of this realm of Hp+p.
I fixed my skirt. I looked, well, kind of cool in my red harem outfit. Went well with my hair. But the sad thing was I didn't get to keep it.
I ran up to the narrators.
" Guys, what do I do? I'm really scared"
"Well, don't be" said Alyssa, the leader of the group. " I heard you in your audition. And I was jealous of your voice."
" Really?" I replied.
"Yes, really."
" Loosen up Wills, you will be fine." said Allison .
" Just don't think about it." answered Dominique.
" You are all set. What can go wrong?" added Ginny.
" Seriously? What can? You make it on for "Friend Like Me" with the wrong shoes? Big deal." said Mackenzie.
I'm still scared. " I'm going to check my quick change spot." and I walked across the stage and I saw Bethany, the girl I hang out with all the time. She got an ensemble part. She was sitting by the curtain, eating chocolate.
"Bethany? Why are you eating that?"
" It's good."
"But it clogs your vocal chords."
" No it doesn't…."she said with her voice raspy.
" Umm…just drink some water, it should clear it up."
"Thanks. Lose a shoe!"
" You too!" I said running to where I had to I stood in my quick change spot, I realized something.
I just realized I'm in a show. Doing what I like to do. Sing. Dance. Act. Laugh.I shouldn't be scared because I am doing what I love. I should just go out there and have fun.
I smiled wide, and walked back to the wings, where I started the show.
" Nervous?" I heard Alyssa say.
"Yes." I said smiling"
"Like you were before or good nervous?"
"Good." I replied happily.
" Lets get our harem on." said Allison, and with that we all hugged and wished each other good luck. Then we went to our starting spots in the wings.
" Lose a shoe…" Allison whispered to me.
" You too."
Then the overture started. Wow, I feel great. Then I started to go all-clear…. But I don't want to. How will I be able to go on the platform? I pushed it away.
The music stopped. Arabian nights started to come on. I walked out at the right time. I was in my spot before I knew it…. I saw Philby…he was smiling…..
...Oh I come from a land, from a far away place, where the caravan camels roam…
...
…|"Guys ready?" said Alyssa. She just finished our pep talk and it was hilarious. We planned to walk out really cheesey and funny. Boy, I love these guys.
"Yeah!" we replied, and we walked out on to the stage with the screaming crowd. We bowed.
" Willa! Willa! Willa!" I heard people screaming. It was the keepers…..Philby was yelling the loudest. And they were all standing.
A whole new world,
A whole new world,
That's where we'll be,
That's where we'll be,
A thrilling chase
A wonderous place
For you and me….
…...
