Summary: With autumn comes the town play and this year in the alternate EUReKA it's a little awkward when Zane and Jo are both selected as the leading couple by Grace, the director. This was written for my fairytale challenge and is set after the 1/2season finale but before the Christmas special.
Disclaimer:I don't own Zane Donovan, Josephina Lupo, Vincent, Cafe`Diem, Jack Carter, Zoe Carter, or any other recognizable canonical elements from the SyFy television show, "EUReKA." I am not affiliated with SyFy either so this story, which is written for entertainment purposes only, has no real bearing on where the true show is going unless I make a lucky guess or twenty.
A/N: This story is a response to my own fairytale challenge mentioned in the FanFiction forum, "The Good Sparks: a JoZane forum," and might I say how strange it is for me to be writing so much as of late? I'm organizing my efforts towards school though and I usually expect near perfection of myself. This story has been in the works since I submitted the challenge, so don't expect me to update quickly; I honestly expected to finish the first chapter before the Christmas special and now here I am posting this in the middle of January. Um anyway, please enjoy what I do post.

"Drama, Drama, Drama…" by JustWriter
Prologue:
On the surface you may think that Eureka was a town that didn't appreciate art, and you'd be half right; most people that live there focus mainly on math and science, but when they do focus on art they shine. It's too bad that their shows weren't allowed to tour around the world because the plays put on in Eureka were definitely world class; there was only that teeny tiny detail about what technology could be revealed to normal everyday people and most drama buffs would go nuts over the special effects and the lights that were better than what they had on Broadway. In order to be a part of the play or even watch it you had to be a resident or a special guest approved by some of the highest authorities in the United States government so Eurekan plays were only put on for relaxation and to display the town's scientists' little side projects that weren't for Global Dynamics if they so chose.
One relationship in Eureka is about to come to a head, as the director of the newest play had some idea of the issues with her friends that needed resolving and she was plotting accordingly. She had just spoken to Zoe about her and Zane auditioning a few hours ago. She felt a little bad about manipulating Zoe but it wasn't likely that Zane would audition without Zoe's prompting. Zane Donovan was good lead material and she could sense untapped potential in the young man. Also, she knew about the other Zane Donovan's and Jo's relationship in the other reality and she wanted them to be happy.
Grace sighed as she flipped through her conceptual sketches and renderings to the one that she had spent the most time on, the final scene where the clever, wounded foot soldier had bested the strong willed eldest princess of twelve and they were being happily wed. The image held nondescript faces but from their coloring you could guess which people in town they most resembled. They were clothed in white, gold, and silver and were facing one another, holding each others' hands as the minister tied a silver, white, and gold rope around their wrists. The scene resembled the renaissance style of clothing and held a fairytale-like quality.
The final scene had been created from Grace's own imagination and one memory of Henry's from the previous reality. The wedding vows were plucked from a moment that had never happened here in this reality. Now she just had to convince Jo to audition; she'd ask Jack how considering he knew her much better than she did.
