A/N: Ok, sorry folks, I got a review, saying that self inflicted Fanfiction was a big nono, so, I decided to change the name. You don't have to read, but if you want, all that I changed was the main characters name. It is now Emily.

So, as I read the script for the first time, I wondered, is this going to even be worth humiliating myself in front of everyone? I can't act! It was called 'The lioness, and the prince'. I mean what a stupid name! My best friend Alisha was standing next to me, painting a set prop.

"Ali? Read this line," I stuck the paper in front of her. She read it, and turned back to painting. "I mean, isn't that stupid!" I yelled and through my hands in the air.

"What's wrong Emily?" Asked another friend of mine, Erika. "Is the script totally stupid, and a waste of time?" We had one of those relationships were we finished each others sentences.

"Totally! I mean, read this," I through the scrip into her hands. She took it and read it.

"It isn't that bad. Do you know what role you have yet?" She asked handing me back the script.

"No, but I don't know if I want to do it anymore," Ali turned from her job.

"Ohh come on Emily, you know that it will be fun once you read the rest of it."

"You know me to well," I said sarcastically, smiling. She smiled back.

"Ali is right, you will have fun, and it is a good experience." Said Erika.

"Then why aren't you doing it?" I turned to her.

"I don't like getting in front of everyone; I thought we talked about this?" She looked agitated. She turned and went to talk with another friend of hers. I rolled my eyes and returned to the script.

(Play auditions)

"Emily, your next," yelled Mrs. Paige, the director. "What part are you going to do for us?"

"I would like to audition for the role Alanna of Trebond," I said taking one last look at the line, and then setting the script on the floor.

"Whenever you are ready," She said, getting her pen.

I started. "Jonathan, you know that that just wont work. I'm a knight, not fit to be queen." I turned and then continued. "Though I love you, it just won't work, and you know that your parents would never agree." I turned back around, and bowed.

"Bravo!" She said clapping. She stood up. "Bravo!"

"So do I have the part?" I asked anxiously.

"You will see, on Monday," She said sitting back down, and strengthening her papers. I jumped of the stage, and started towards the door. As I pasted her table, she whispered, "I would start practicing those lines Ms. Connell." I smiled and continued to walk towards the door.

(Monday)

I woke up early due to anxiety, and I was super anxious. All weekend I couldn't stop reading the script. It is the best script (and only) that I have ever read. When I got my school, Seahome High, I ran off the bus and straight towards the theater. As I opened the doors, I saw Ali standing there reading the cast list.

"You got the part!" She yelled. We ran into a screaming-hug-while spinning. And then I went and looked for myself. My finger followed my eyes as I read down the list.

Thank you for all of the people that tried out, try for the next play.

I was going to have fun with this play. Why? Ryan Embridge is a total hottie and I have had a crush on him scents like forth grade. And Erika, even though she said that she didn't want to do the play, did it anyway.

"Ryan Embridge is playing Jonathan," I said, turning towards Ali. "Jonathan and Alanna are lovers. And in scene three act one, they kiss. And that isn't the only time!" I jumped up and down. My celebration was cut short, because Ryan walked in the door.

"Hi Emily," He said as he walked by. I just about died. I looked at Ali and we giggled.

"This is going to be so fun!" we entangled or fingers and hopped up and down laughing our heads off.

(First Play Practice)

When I entered the auditorium, I looked around at all the commotion that was happening around me. Erika waved from the stage. I walked up to her.

"I thought you said that you didn't want to humiliate yourself," I said hopping up on the stage.

"Well, after talking with you, I wanted to prove you wrong. And it is only a small part," We laughed.

"Attention! Attention please!" Called Mrs. Paige from the floor. 'She looked so short'. I thought to myself. We all gathered around her and looked down. "Thank you all for coming, and why don't we all just introduce our self's before we start. Let's start with Megan. Please tell me your role and what made you want to do that part." I thought for a minuet.

"Hi," I said waving to the circle of people around me. "My name is Emily. I'm playing the part of Alanna. Uum, what made me pick this part, is because it seemed like the best one." I looked to Mrs. Paige.

"Thank you Emily. Ryan, you next please," I looked over at him. He had coal black hair, just like Jonathans. And, now that I mention it, he has sapphire eyes too. Just looking into them makes me happy inside. I snapped back to what he was saying.

"-What made me pick this part, was when I read the script I saw that I fit the description exactly." He is soo right. I nodded in agreement. He apparently saw my nod and smiled, showing his perfectly straight, white teeth. I smiled back. I heard a giggle from the audience. I jerked a glare at Ali that was watching me flirt with Ryan. She laughed harder.

"Ok, now that we all know each other, why don't we start with Scene, three, act four," Damn. I thought, so close to the kissing scene, yet so far. "Alanna, Jonathan, your on stage," I grabbed my script, and ran onstage.

"Hi again," whispered Ryan. "What a coincidence that you and I are lovers in the play," I looked at him with confusion.

"Why is it a coincidence?" I asked.

"Well, me and one of my friends were talking about how I had a crush on your for the longest time," He laughed. "But, you never showed any interest, so I moved on." I stood there, frozen. What have I done? I thought to myself. I lost the hottest guy in school, because I was to shy! I am so going to die. Right here, right now.

I laughed. "Really, well then, that is a coincidence," Mrs. Paige called for our attention. I looked over at Ali that was listening in on the conversation. She shrugged, and mouthed to me. 'Guess it just wasn't meant to be.' She saw my disappointment, because I didn't care who saw. I looked up at Ryan, and his head was hung down low. 'What have I done?'

A/N: Well, this is my Third FF tell me what you think! Most of the characters are people that I know (I won't tell you how I have a relation to them, except Ryan, I made him up. Well, Review, and check out my other AJ flick, 'Happily ever After?' The next chapter should be fun, and u won't really get a chance to get the TP characters for a while, like two more chapters. Well, tell me what you think and weather I should continue. -Megmae
