The Show Must Go On!
PROLOGUE
"GO! The show is in one week!" Mira, the cast director, shouted.
People were running everywhere.
"Lisanna, your costume is ready," Erza shouted, going one place to another.
Mira was stressed out. "Just in one more week, around 500 people are going to watch this... I just hope this is going to go good," she thought.
Around the corner, away from most of the noise, laid a blonde revisiting the script.
"A ball...? That's great! Oh my. Stepmother, could I possibly go?" Lucy mumbled, looking a bit sad.
A gentle tap appeared in her shoulder, making her stumble, in fright.
"Oi! Sorry I scared you," a petite bluenette apologized.
"Huh? Oh! Hey Wendy!" Lucy greeted her.
Wendy pouted. "Are you still disappointed that Lisanna got the part?"
She quickly shook her head "no". "I didn't even audition."
"That's true... Anyway, let's go check out the noise-a-thon!" Wendy said, grabbing the blonde's hand.
Lucy chuckled. "Sure!"
By the time they made it to Mira, a loud shriek could be heard, making everyone stop in their tracks.
"Mira! It's Lisanna! She got a concussion," Erza yelled.
Everyone gasped, including Lucy and Wendy. Mira put her hands to her mouth. "What happened?" Mira asked.
"She was putting her glass slippers on. I asked her to walk, to see if she was comfortable, then all of a sudden she felled and screamed in pain. She said she couldn't feel her ankle," Erza explained, flustered.
Mira shook her head. "Alright, I'm going to check on her... Eh... Lucy!" She said, pointing at the blonde.
She froze. "You're going to take over my place until I get back. The check board has the name of everyone participating in the play and their roles. Make sure they practice them twice!" Mira explained, following Erza.
Lucy's sweat dropped when everyone was looking at her, she only bit her lower lip. "Alright... Since I'm in charge, let's just say nothing happened and go back on whatever you were doing..." She muttered.
They all nodded, and went to moving around, again. Lucy picked up to check board next the "directors" chair, and read it.

Lucy sighed at the board, and she found it specially annoying that Lisanna was Cinderella. She wrinkled her nose, trying to decide on how to do this.
"Eh... Let's start with Levy and Juvia," Lucy bit her lower lip.
The 2 skedaddled their way into stage. Levy gave her a warm smile.
"And... Go!"
"I can't believe Mother let that, Cinderella go to the ball!" Levy, or Anastasia, cried.
"Mother is going crazy," Drizella exclaimed.
"But, didn't Mother say, that she needed to find a dress to go to the ball?" Drizella asked.
Next, Anastasia nodded. "Ha! She'll never find a dress, other than that shag of hers."
Drizella nodded.
"And... Cut!" Lucy shouted.
"Good job!" Lucy complimented them.
Suddenly, a pinknette entered the room, almost knocking over the door.
Lucy rolled her eyes. "Glad you could make it, you missed about an hour of rehearsing." Lucy complained.
"You know I have soccer practice, anyway, where's Lis and Mira? And why are you in her seat?" He asked.
"Err... Lisanna fell and broke her ankle, so Mira went to check on her, and I'm temporally taking over," the blonde explained.
"Ohh- WAAAIT! Lis what?!" He erupted.
"There goes my ear drums," Lucy whispered to Levy, which she giggled in replied.
"She was walking around to see if her glass slippers where comfortable, when all of a sudden, she felled and broke her ankle," Levy explained, rather in a quite annoyed tone.
"So that means-"
"WE HAVE FOUND OUR NEWEST CINDERELLA!" Mira exclaimed.
All eyes where on her. "Welcome, Lucy to the acting crew!" Mira confessed.
Know, all eyes were on the blonde. "M-m-me...?!"

A/N: I hope it wasn't too short or long, but I don't think it matters since this is the prologue only... XD Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed this. I'm going to upload the next chapter around the 14th since I also have "Youth" and "The One Who Sings", so yeah.. Pretty busy week, since my winter break is over...
