"Eh? We're doing a play?" asked Kahoko.
"Hai," answered Kanazawa-Sensei. "You see, the school's running on a low budget so the principal had us concour participants do a play."
"What are we showing?" asked Hihara.
"Romeo and Juliet." Replied Kanazawa-Sensei.
"Hey, we're musicians, not actors. You could have at least made it a musical." Complained Tsukimori.
"Look, it was the cheapest script I could find." Answered Kanazawa-Sensei.
"Wait," began Fuyuumi. "There aren't enough concour participants to fill every roll."
"That's why we're here." Answered Amou as she stood next to Mori. "Although no boys wanted to help. So the boys will have to get two parts."
"Now we should begin assigning roles." Announced Kanazawa-Sensei. "Your names will be drawn at random." He held up two cans with names on sticks in them. The first was labled 'Boys' and the second 'Girls'.
"Just a quick question." Cut in Hihara. "Will there be any kissing?"
"Only if you are Romeo or Juliet." Answered Kanazawa-Sensei. "Carrying on, first is Juliet." He preceded to shake the can labeled 'Girls' and drew a stick. "Hino Kahoko," he read.
"Eh!" Kaho said wide-eyed. "I have to kiss?"
"Look, it's just a play, okay? In my day –" Kanazawa-Sensei stopped. "Ahem, continueing on, Juliet's Nurse will be… Amou!"
"Yes! I get to be on Kaho-Chan's side!" shouted Amou.
"Next is Lady Capulet (mother of Juliet). She will be played by… Fuyuumi." Announced Kanazawa-Sensei.
"L-L-Let's do our best Kaho-Senpai." Said Fuyuumi.
"And that leaves Lady Montauge (Romeo's mother) to Mori." Said Kanazawa Sensei.
"Gomen, Kaho." Said Mori. "I have to be your enemy in the play."
"It's okay." Answered Kahoko. "It's only a play."
"On to the boys." Said Kanazawa sensei. "Lord Capulet (Father of Juliet) will be… Shimizu."
"How cute! Shimizu's married to Fuyuumi." Said Hihara, which made Fuyuumi blush a deep red.
"And the Role of Tybalt (Juliet's cousin) and Paris (Juliet's suitor) will be… Tsuchiura."
"It fits." Thought Kahoko. "Tsuchiura's always helping me."
"Lord Capulet (Romeo's Father) and Mercucio (Romeo's Friend) will go to… Hihara."
"Aww man, I wanted Ro-" but Hihara cut himself off, not wanting everyone to know about his crush on Kahoko. "Nevermind. I should just be happy with what I got."
"Benvolio (Romeo's Cousin) and the Prince shall be… Yunoki." Announced Kanazawa-Sensei. "Now, that might cause some problems in the script, as Benvolio and the Prince appear at the same time once or twice."
"That's okay Kanazawa-Sensei." Replied Yunoki. "I don't mind."
"I will be Friar Lawrence as none of you seem to be able to play an old monk," began Kanazawa-Sensei. "And that leaves Romeo too… Tsukimori Len."
"So be it." Said Tsukimori as he sighed.
