Ok, so, I WILL be uploading a new chapter on my other stories soon, really soon, but this came to my mind since I'm now in love with this new fanon/crack couple... and I couldn't not write this!
Obviously, I do not own TDI (trust me, there'd be some differences if I did ;D) and Les Miserables - wish I did, but I wasn't even born when they wrote it... anyway, hope you enjoy. I've pretty much written this fic, so their will be updates often, PM if I don't! It's saved on my computer waiting to go on!
Lastly, the first chapter is a set up - the rest will be quite different. One song per chapter too... anyway, ENJOY! :D
Duncan slumped his bag on his back, and grinned his slightly crooked-smile to Geoff, who high-fived him before the two made their way through the corridors.
"So we're gonna do this?" Duncan asked, and Geoff nodded.
"Duh... Dude! This will score us big time in their books!"
The two laughed, and made their way to the auditorium, bustling past the other students, shouting hey! to everyone they knew and respected, and laughing at those they didn't.
"Hey sweetie," Duncan winked at Heather as they got nearer the auditorium, and she pushed them out of the way, going through the door first.
"Dude, can you see her?" Geoff asked, and Duncan shrugged, looking over the rows of people. Or, the rows of empty chair and odd people here and there.
"Duncan? Geoffrey?" a loud voice boomed the hall, and Geoff groaned at his name, "you're signing up?"
"Eh, why not?" Duncan shrugged, and the two boys walked up the rows of chairs to the back row, so they could snigger at other's auditions first.
"Well... the more the better they say," their drama teacher replied, slightly grunting and continued looking over the seats.
"Lindsay?" Heather growled, and Lindsay looked nervously at the three people waiting for her and she hurried up and made her way through the heavy doors, with assistance from Bridgette, and the two went and joined their friends.
"Bridgette!" Courtney said, putting her PDA down for a moment to watch her two friends come over to sit next to her.
"Sorry we're late," Bridgette said, putting down her animal backpack, and Courtney took a moment to admire it's pretty patterns before getting back to the job on hand, "I was speaking to my swimming teacher, and Lindsay was getting changed from cheerleading"
"That's okay, you're just in time," Courtney smiled, then looked up at the stage in front of them.
"So, have they said what play we're doing yet?" Bridgette whispered to her group of friends, and Heather shrugged while Courtney shook her head.
"Oh Oh! Izzy knows, probably one about fighting, and ninjas, and space aliens!"
Heather gave Izzy a dead-pan look before looking back at Courtney and Lindsay, who were sitting either side of her.
"Remind me why we let her hang with us"
"Because she's nice!" Lindsay replied, and then turned to Izzy, "Oh! I hope it's a musical I loooove them!"
"Lindsay, everyone already knows it'll be a musical!" Heather snapped, and Courtney nodded.
"We just don't know which one!"
"I hope it's Grease! Or Iniquitous! Or-"
"Lindsay, where'd you learn that word from?" Heather asked gobsmacked.
"I think she means Wicked, Heather"
"Oh!" Lindsay giggled, "Sorry! I heard-"
"Actually, I don't care," Heather admitted, and turned around to look at the audience, "what I do care about is who else is trying out for this play..."
At that, all the girls turned around and looked behind them.
"Big O!"
"No way! Noah, Cody and Harold?" Lindsay and Izzy exchanged looks, Izzy smiling and Lindsay shocked.
"Since when we're jocks into this kinda thing? Tyler, Eva and Justin?"
"Courtney, aren't you dating Justin?"
"That's not the point. The point is he didn't tell me! Ooh he's in trouble now!"
"Hey Izzy, Alejandro's signed up!"
"As is Geoff and Duncan," Heather smiled at Bridgette, who blushed.
"And Trent!" Lindsay gasped, and everyone but Izzy gave her a look as if to say; well duh!
"Katie, Sadie and Beth," Courtney said, saying each name lower as if they were annoying wannabes... oh wait, they are!
"Sierra... with Cody... obviously..."
"Like I didn't see that coming..."
"Goth girl and Ghetto Diva, Momma's boy and that new kid-"
"Home-school?"
"Yeh, him, and that's it"
"Ooh tough crowd" Courtney smiled at Heather who laughed.
"You'll so get the main part," Bridgette smiled to Courtney, who smugly nodded, ignoring the stares coming from Lindsay, Heather and Izzy.
"I know, of course I will!"
"This is it?" their drama teacher looked up, then slapped his face, "well, better then a no-show! So, I think I'll officially tell you the musical we're going to perform..."
He smiled his wicked smile, and everyone – but Duncan- waited in suspense to hear it.
"OH JUST TELL IT ALREADY!" Courtney could no longer hold it in, and everyone looked at her.
"Les Miserables!" their drama teacher smiled, and some people looked really happy while others looked in despair.
"Aw man, why couldn't we have do Sweeney Todd?" Duncan asked, and their drama teacher smiled.
"So, you'll all be singing, so come up and grab the music sheet of who you wanna sing then have a go!"
"Urm, isn't this a bit sexist? There's like no girl parts," Courtney said, and Mr. McLean shook his head before handing her a sheet.
"I don't care!"
"Who you auditioning for Izzy?" Lindsay asked, looking above her sheet. Thank god she knew the music already, cos she sucked at reading music.
"Mme. Thénardier!" Izzy smirked, and Lindsay raised an eyebrow nodding.
"I'm going to be Cosette!" Lindsay smiled, and Courtney shook her head.
"No way, Bridgette is!"
"It's okay, I don't want a main part," Bridgette smiled at Lindsay.
"Nonese, of course you do! And I'm going to be Fantine!"
"Whatever," Heather shrugged, "this play sucks. I'll be an extra. Get to be on stage the whole way through that way"
"Exactly," Bridgette nodded.
"Ok, Izzy, which song are you performing... and why is Owen on stage?"
"Urmm," Owen nervously giggled, "we're performing Master of the House"
"I thought you said you were going to audition for Valjean?" Noah asked from the sides and Owen giggled again.
"Oh yeah!"
"Eugh," Mr. McLean slapped his forehead, "get off the stage... anyone auditioning for Thénardie?" Chris asked, and a perfectly toned arm shot up.
"I am, sir" Alejandro smiled, and Izzy felt like she'd faint.
"Ok, swap with Owen then. And when your ready, just tell Mr. Hatchet"
Izzy nodded, and watched her friends all grin at her as Alejandro smiled at her and walked on to stage, and Izzy noted without a sheet for reference.
"I know this song off by heart, but just in case... can I please share yours?"
Izzy couldn't find the words, so just nodded and the two stood by the piano, sharing the music sheet.
"Ahh! I'm totally nervous!" Lindsay said, and Trent who was sitting not far away smiled at her.
"Don't be," he offered, "I'm sure you'll do great. Who are you auditioning for?"
"Cosette" Lindsay smiled at him, flashing him a glimse of her music sheet. Trent nodded, then showed her his.
"I'm auditioning for Marius. Would you like to do the duet together?"
Lindsay smiled at him for a moment, taking in his friendly green eyes then nodded.
"Okay, that was... AMAZING!" Mr. McLean gave two thumbs up to Izzy and Alejandro, and Lindsay had to admit they'd done well, "Soo... who's next?"
"We'll go!" Trent put his hand up, and stood up, offering his other hand to help Lindsay up.
Their teacher stared for a moment before nodding, and Lindsay flashed Izzy a smile as they walked past each other.
"Song?" the grumpy voice of the piano player asked, and Trent handed in his reference sheet. Before Lindsay had an opportunity to think what she was doing- Trent grabbed her hand and pulled her back onto the centre of the stage.
"A heart full of love, a heart full of song... I'm doing everything all wrong! Oh god for shame... I do not even know your name," he sang, acting it out, and Lindsay stared in shock of what she had to do.
Okay, okay... what did that pretty lady in the stunning dress do? Ah yes! Smiled, smiled like she'd meet her first love, for the ...Lindsay mentally counted her two fingers...third time! She was shy, then happy. Okay, you can do this! Just like you practiced with your pet dog.
"A heart full of love, no fear no reget-"
"My name is Marius Pontmercy"
"And mine's Cosette-"
"WAIT A SECOND!" their teacher cut into the perfect song, and Trent and Lindsay dropped each others hands and looked over at him, "Who's going to play the third character? Anyone? Any takers?"
"I'll do it!" Bridgette stood up, seeing no-one else offer.
"I'll play the forth!" Geoff called out.
"There isn't a forth," she smiled at him, then took the stage.
"Okay, carry on! Actually, from the beginning!"
"Wow, they're really good," Courtney said honestly, without a tone of bitterness. Of course, it's ok right now. They're not auditioning for her part.
"Yeh, I know. In fact, I might try doing On My Own, that's a good song. It's catchy" Heather said, looking through all the sheets.
"Heather, you can't do that! That's the same character as Bridgette's singing at the moment!"
"It's an audition! Of course I can," Heather replied, not bothering to look up or care about Bridgette.
"On my Own, pretending he's beside me..."
Heather sang, and not too badly, Courtney hated to admit. But not as good as Bridgette, Bridgette sang with a passion, like she understood the character.
"Who do you like?"Courtney whispered to Bridgette.
"What?" Bridgette whispered back.
"You sang with... a passion, like you were Epitome"
"Well, who hasn't liked someone who's liked someone else at some point?" Bridgette asked, trying to sound convincing like it was no-one at the moment. Courtney looked at her suspiciously for a moment before nodding. Of course, Courtney hadn't gone through that, Justin was- Wait! Justin.
"Justin!" Courtney hissed across the stage, "why didn't you tell me?"
"What to do, what to say...shall you take our treasure away?" Cody sang, and Izzy folded her arms. No, no-one can take her Alejandro's role. Her Alejandro? Wait, that didn't sound right. She listened as Cody, Sierra and Owen sang Thenardier Waltz Of Treachery. They captured the whiny voices right, but not like Alejandro and Izzy – it was annoying whiny. Big O wasn't bad though.
"I smell women, smell them in the air, think I'll drop my anchor in the harbour over there"
"lovely ladies, smell them through the smoke, seven days at sea can make you hungry for a poke,"
Heather smirked at Duncan and Geoff, trust them to audition by singing two lines each.
"Madam I'll sell it to you-"
Courtney was good. Of course, regrettably Heather already knew this, and felt proud that it was one of her best friends.
"I'll take the lot!"
"Don't touch me, leave me alone!"
Heather giggled at Katie's impression of an old women seller, it wasn't bad.
"Lovely ladies, fastest in the street-"
That's the role Duncan should be playing, Heather thought listening to home school trying to
"join your sisters..."
"make money in your sleep"
Pfft, suits them. Goth Girl and Ghetto Princess playing whores.
"Come on Capitan, you can wear your shoes. Don't it make a change to have a girl who can't refuse?"
Courtney sang, and everyone felt a pain of sympathy for her character. And Justin thought he saw Chris, their drama teacher, cry. Justin felt his heart melt, and like he was falling in love again.
"Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men..."
Noah sang in the song of the students with Justin, DJ and the rest of the boys (who sang chorus, as they'd all auctioned already). The girls all broke into applause, and Chris smiled down at them all.
"Okay, girls, I'd like you all to sing At the End of the Day. Any who haven't had solos, take them"
"Wow, the list is up already?" Gwen asked LeShawna, who looked just as surpised.
"MAKE WAY!" Courtney ordered, and Heather smirked, and the two marched through the small crowd staring at the wall.
Courtney ripped of the list, and gasped.
"No way!" Heather said.
"What? Your names not there?" Noah sarcastically smiled at Owen and Izzy.
"Your Marius?" Courtney asked Noah, bewildered at this.
"I am?" Noah asked, then grabbed the sheet of them, and read it, "with... Lindsay?"
Noah knew she'd done good, but her as his love interest? ... It was odd. Then, uncareingly, he dropped the sheet on the floor behind him to annoy everyone.
"Right, I'm off chubby buddy," he told Owen, and walked off.
Izzy and Owen exchanged looks.
"That was weird" Owen said, and Izzy nodded.
"GET IT!" someone screamed for no-where, and they all dived in for the sheet, but for no luck. Izzy had already beat them, and was scanning through the paper while everyone looked around them for it.
"mm-hmm, mm-hmm, ooh!, mm-hmm, YES! IZZY SCORES! TOUCHDOWN!" Izzy smiled, and throw the paper to the crowd, before grabbing Big-O and rushing off to find Lindsay to tell her the good news.
"What's this all about?" Duncan asked, offering his hand to Heather who'd just tripped up, and repaired him with narrowed eyes.
"The play"
"Awesome, who'd I get?" Geoff asked Courtney, who was watching the pathetic fools on the floor.
"Oh, the pimp"
"AWESOME!" Geoff high-fived Duncan, "So... do I get a big part?"
"Well, you sing in one song," Courtney smiled, "then return as an extra"
"Good enough for me," Geoff smirked at Duncan, who nodded.
"As for you," Heather smiled at Duncan, knowing he was going to hate this, "you got none other then "
"Who?"
"The main student sings lots"
"Great," he smiled at her purposely to annoy her, "but do I get to sing with you?"
"No chance, I'm an extra," Heather smiled, "so I'll be staying far away from you"
"She totally digs you," Geoff whispered to Duncan who nodded, smirking.
"I know, it's painful to watch"
"Totally"
"As if!" Heather replied, "come on Courtney, we might as well go tell Lindsay and Bridgette the news"
"Bridgette?" Geoff asked, curious to know.
"Oh, she got Epitome. So, she'll be really happy"
"Ah cool, that's great. Tell her good luck from me," Geoff smiled at them.
"Do you like her?" Courtney asked.
"Urr, no, totally not, I mean, she's awesome but no way, you know, where'd you get t-that idea from?" Geoff nervously asked, rubbing his neck and Duncan laughed.
"You've got it bad dude" Duncan slapped him on the back, "but come on, we better go get changed for Gym or Hatchet will freak again and I'll have to clean up the gym again"
"Did you hear that?" Courtney whispered once they were out of ear-shot.
"Yes, I did," Heather smirked, "I have to make Duncan late for gym"
"No, about Bridgette. He totally likes her... maybe that's who Bridgette likes!"
Lindsay? As Cosette?
This was going to be... interesting to say the least. He'd have to learn words with her, and she probably wouldn't even remember, and he'd have to pretend to be head-over-heels for her, then kiss her... then... marry her...
No, he didn't like her. So what if she's good looking? She's got the brain the size of a pea, but that's probably complementing her. No, he'd get through it. She'd probably screw everything up, and then get replaced. Yes, that'll happen. It'll be fine. His sanity will make it through.
"WHAT?" Trent demanded, staring at the sheet, "I'm not Maruis?"
"Who are you?"
"Valjean? I'm Valjean! ...I'm the main character!" Trent punched the air, and Alejandro slapped his back.
"Well done, mi amigo"
"Who'd you get... Oh! Understudy for Thénardier... and Javet"
"Not bad..." Alejandro smiled, thinking to himself for a moment, "so who got Thénardier?"
"Ezekiel?" not for long...
