Here is the winner of my story voting, I may upload the others eventually but this is all for now.
It was a quiet day in Peaceville...ok that was a total lie, it was anything but quiet in Peaceville. Especially at the Riffin household where 3 preteens were laying on the couch. Laney Penn, Kin Kujira and his twin brother Kon Kujira were sitting there watching the tv.
"And in other news, local elementary high will be hosting it's annual school play!" Chance Happening spoke onscreen. "The school will be performing the play of Sleeping Beauty this Saturday. Now here's Buzz with the weather." it cut to show her fellow newscaster in the middle of a typhoon. "IT'S RAINING ALOT!" he yelled
Laney pressed a button on the remote and said "Eesh, who would wanna do a school play?" suddenly as if on cue, Corey Riffin burst into the garage and announced "Big news guys! Grojband is going to be in the school play!" Laney looked at him skeptically and asked "Core,Why are we going to be in the play?" the guitarist turned to his bandmates and said "Picture this, we get the main roles in the play, and turn it into a rock n roll fest!"
The 3 looked at him weird "Um Corey, I don't know how to tell you this, but that is never going to work." Kin admitted. "Yeah, it's not even a musical." Kon pointed out. Corey's eyes widened "It's not! But the Disney movie had singing!" "But it only had two songs." Laney pointed out "The version the school is doing is one without the songs anyway." She explained.
Corey looked down "Aw man! Someone should have told me that before I signed us all up!" he said disappointed. "Wait! You already signed us up?!" Kin asked in disbelief. "Yeah...maybe I should have told you guys first." Corey sheepishly admitted. "Great so does that mean we have to audition?" Laney asked "We could just not go." Kon replied. "No way! Grojband never runs from a challenge!" Corey spoke confidently "But this isn't a challenge." Kin told him. "Well...I already signed us up and besides, it could be fun. What could possibly happen?"
LATER ON TRANSITION
Grojband opened the doors to the school auditorium and walked inside. They looked around to see very few other students around. "Great, with this little people we might actually get parts." Kin said annoyed. "You could just offer to be a stagehand." Laney pointed out. Kin stopped for a minute to think "That could work."
Unfortunately for the band, they heard a familiar voice ring out behind them. "Ugh, Don't tell you guys are auditioning." the band turned around to see Corey's older sister Trina and her best friend/lackey Mina. "Trina? What are you doing here?" Corey asked his sister. "Duh, I'm like auditioning for the lead role!" Trina told her brother "But you hate school plays!" Corey pointed out "Not if Nick Mallory is auditioning." she told him. Corey turned to look and sure enough, Nick was one of the people in the room.
Trina and Mina walked away and over to Nick as the band talked to themselves. "Great, now your sisters here! This couldn't possibly get any worse!" Laney complained. "Hello Grojband." they heard someone taunt behind them. "And it just got worse." Behind them stood their arch rivals The Newmans, Carrie Beff, Larry Nepp, Kim Kagami and Konnie Kagami.
"Hello Newmans." Corey said sourly to them. "We are going to be the stars of this show. Like we always are!" Carrie bragged. Corey looked at her and said "Yeah, well what makes you so sure of that?!" "Because we are better than you!" Carrie snapped back. Laney got in between the two guitarists and said "Save it for later, if we fight in school then we will all get detention." Laney reminded them.
"Fine, We'll settle this in the auditions. The one who gets the best part is the winner." Carrie said as she walked off. Corey looked at the Newmans with spite and walked over to the audition table. Laney was about to follow when she overheard what Kin and Kon were saying. "Hey Kin, what role is Corey auditioning for?" Kin looked at him "The Prince, why?" "Well doesn't the prince have to kiss sleeping beauty in the end?" at the word 'kiss', Laney suddenly perked up and thought to herself 'This is my chance! If I land the role of Sleeping Beauty then the two of us will kiss!' her face wore a love struck expression as Kon waves his hand in front of her face. "Hello? Laney? Are you ok?" Kon asked. Laney snapped out of her daydream "I gotta get that role!" she said with determination in her voice. She then ran off to audition.
LETS JUST SKIP AUDITIONS
A few hours later and all of the young teens stood on stage as the casting director looked over his papers. He lifted his head up and spoke "Well the roles have been cast." everyone looked at him with anticipation. "The lead role of Sleeping Beauty goes to...Laney Penn!" Laney's face erupted into a huge smile and she fist pumped in the air. "The role of the Prince goes to...Corey Riffin." Corey smiled and said "Sweet!" Laney's smile only got bigger and her eyes turned into hearts 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' she thought to herself.
"Maleficent will be played by Trina Riffin." "What?!" Trina yelled "How could me and Nick Mallory not get the lead roles?! And why am I the villain?" she demanded. Nick Mallory turned to her and said "Nick Mallory thinks you will play a great villain." Trina smiled and said "Maleficent it is then!" backstage Mina whispered to herself "I'm not sure if Nick was complimenting her or insulting her."
"The roles of the 3 good fairies go to Carrie Beff, Kim Kagami and Konnie Kagami." The Newman twins high fived but Carrie looked annoyed. "Nick Mallory will be playing the king and the queen shall be played by...Larry Nepp." Larry looked at him in disbelief and shouted "What the heck!? I'm a boy!? Why am I the queen?!" the director looked at him and said "Because you make a very pretty girl. Sorry but I can't change roles now. See you all at rehearsals tomorrow." and with that, the director left. Larry just stood there with his jaw dropped as some of the others tried to hold back their laughter.
Kon sighed and said "Aw man! I didn't get a part! What did I do wrong?" Kin looked to his brother and said "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you hit the director in the face with a cartwheel during your audition."
Carrie sulked for a bit "What's wrong Carrie?" Kim asked. "I should have been Sleeping Beauty!" Kim put her arm around her shoulder and said "Look at the bright side, if you had gotten the part then you would have had to kiss Corey." Carrie looked at her with realization and said "Wow, you are so right! I'm glad I didn't get the role!"
Corey had overheard the Newman girls talk when he heard the part about the kiss. Suddenly it dawned on him. He was going to have to kiss Laney. His face turned a deep crimson and he stood there motionless. Kon walked over and asked "Hey dude, are you ok?" Corey didn't move or change his expression as he spoke "I have to kiss Laney..." his voice trailed off. Kon realized what he said and looked away "Wow, this is going to be awkward."
that's it for now. The next part is coming up soon.
