A Midsummer Night's Disaster
A Fanfiction of Many Ships- I hope.
So I think I've made it pretty clear I'm obsessed with Shakespeare. Why not make another Jelsa? Here goes nothing!
Disclaimer: Any script I use will be from the No Fear Shakespeare version, seeing that I wouldn't want to confuse you all. Shakespeare wrote the play, they made the translation, I came up with the idea of the fic. It'll make more sense later.
Another note: WHEN I SAY THE WORD ASS: I mean DONKEY. I do not mean the other meaning! IF YOU ARE LITTLE I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND READING THIS. Thank you

"Shakespeare? No way!" My eyes skimmed the words on the board, excitement building up inside me. My lit class was always interesting, but this was really cool. Something that was more my forte.
"Ooh! What play?" My good friend Punzie plunked down in the seat next to me, her golden ponytail swinging wildly. Her eyes fell on the stack of No Fear Shakespeare books in my arms. "One of those?"
I lay all four out on my desk: As You Like It, A Midsummer Night's Dream, MacBeth, and Hamlet. I shrug. "I have no idea. I guess we'll see."
"Ooh, Shakespeare?" Tiana asked, sitting down on the other side of me. "Fun."
"Aye, do we have to? So many words, not enough action!" Merida said before sitting behind Tiana.
I turned around. "On the contrary, Shakespeare-"
"Ooh, Elsie's going into lecture mode again! Everyone hide!" someone above me interrupted with a jeer. I looked up. Jack Frost.
"I told you never to call me that!" I bit out between my clenched teeth. Jack just laughed and walked to his seat in the back of the class.
"Don't let him get to you, Els." Astrid said, sitting behind me. "He's just a jerk."
"Right." I took a deep breath. "Anyway, have you even read some of his plays? Action, romance, comedy, tragedy; Shakespeare's amazing!"
"Whatever you say, lass. I still have my doubts."
Before I could say anything else, the bell rang and all the students who weren't sitting rushed to find a seat before the teacher, Miss Moors, walked in and sat down.
"Settle down, please!" We were instantly quiet. Miss Moors had that aura that just made everyone around her stand at attention. "Thank you. Today, as you can see, we will be working on Shakespeare, and will be doing so for the next month or two. Instead of just reading them all, I'm going to do something different. Who here has read No Fear Shakespeare?"
Punzie and I raised our hands. We were the only ones.
"Well, that's alright. I'm going to put you in groups, and your assignment is to put in the play I give to you, using the translation. It may be set in the current time period, or when the play was set. You will have two weeks, so please don't slack. On the board are the groups and roles." She turned on the projector.
My eyes quickly scanned the board. I found my name quickly, and discovered that my friends were all going to be in the same play as I was. We were doing A Midsummer Night's Dream. The list was as follows:
Theseus: Hiccup Haddock
Hippolyta: Astrid Hofferson
Egeus: Shang Li
Hermia: Tiana Workers
Lysander: Naveen Maldonia
Demetrius: Jack Frost
Helena: Elsa Winters
Robin Goodfellow: Aster Bunnymund
Oberon: Flynn Rider
Titania: Rapunzel Corona
Nick Bottom: Hans Westerguard
Peter Quince: Phil Yetis
Francis Flute: Olaf Winters
Robin Starveling: Mushu Fa
Tom Snout: Merida Dunbroch
Snug: Mulan Fa
Philostrate: Pitch Black
Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mote, and Mustardseed: Phil, Merida, Mushu, Olaf
I was being Helena, who was in love with Demetrius, a man who was horrible to her until the end. I was pretty happy until I saw who was playing Demetrius.
Jack Frost.
