I don't own Ned's. If I did it would still be on Nick
Chapter 1: Why me?
"I'm so sorry Moze. I was just jelous! I didn't want anyone kissing Suzie. I'm sorry!" I appoligzed over and over again as I watched them load Suzie and Cookie into the ambulance. I got so overworked that I attacked the lead Romeo, who knocked down Suzie who was playing Juliet, knocking me and Cookie off the stage which caused Cook to twist and possibly break his ankle, which ended up destroying our school play. But at least that pompous jerk didn't get his lips on Suzie right? Ok so I know that it was a terrible thing to do. I just couldn't help it. Still I had no right to do such a thing. I looked over at Moze who looked like she was going to snap at any minute.
"I'll make it up to you Moze. I swear! You can pick the movie every night for the rest of our lives on Friday nights! Whatever you want! Just please please say something! And please don't let involve the word kill in it." I keep rambling in hopes to get her back on my good side. I watched as her face turned into a smile. But it wasn't a good smile, no this was a 'Ned screwed up and he is so gonna get it' smile. Maybe I should run now.
"Oh yeah you're gonna make it up to me alright. The show must go on." She turned to look at me. She smirked and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. "Come on Bigby let's go!"
I let her pull me pack into the school and backstage. She threw me into a dressing room. Next thing I knew there was tights hitting me in the face. "Wha?"
"You got 5 min Ned! Don't let me down!" She called as she ran off.
"I can't act!" I called after her even knowing that it was no use. I screwed it up, I'd just have to go out there and do this. I sighed and pulled on the tights.
So now I was standing on the stage behind the curtain waiting for them to set everything back up. What am I doing? I can't act! And where in the heck in Moze? I think I'm about to have a panic attack. Someone came up and pushed me from behind causing me to stumble onto the stage. I looked out into the audience. Well they were expecting something, might as well give them their money's worth. I walked over to the ladder and began to climb.
"I shall climb-ith this...ladder-ith and place a kiss upon your lips." Then it dawned on me that I would kissing someone. I reached the top and hoped over the edge onto the balcony like I was...ok thought I was supposed to do. I've never read Romeo and Juliet. Lets just say what just happened next shocked me.I don't know what I was expecting...but I could tell you it wasn't this. Out walked Juliet played by...Moze!
"What are you doing?" I asked keeping my voice low.
"Me? It's your fault! There was no one else that could do this!" She shouted back in whisper. "Ned, we aren't supposed to be fighting..."
I shook my head. Was she telling me to kiss her? Ok I can do this...I've done it before right? No big deal. the only way this is different is that there are a few more people watching. I took a deep breath and stepped close to her. I placed my hand on her cheek and she leaned into it. I said my lines and she said hers. Hey we weren't doing so bad, everything was natural for us. I don't even want to think what that means. Ok moment of truth. I can do this! I can do this! I whispered my last line and leaned in closer. Our lips connected and I forgot everything! I forgot that we were in a room full of a hundred people, I forgot who I was, I forgot everything that wasn't Moze! I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me. I felt her hand go into my hair and my free hand did the same hair. As if on cue we both remember where we were we pulled apart. We didn't let go of each other though. We just stared into each others eyes vaguely aware that the play was over and the curtain was closed. We only broke apart when the cheers erupted. I watched as Moze's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. I was a hundred percent sure my expression was the same as her's. We got down and took our bows. After that Moze disappeared and I left as quickly as I could not worrying about changing out of my Romeo costume. I saw Mom's car outside and dashed for it. I jumped into the front seat and buckled the seat belt.
"How was the play?" She took in my appearance. "Why are you dressed like that? What did you do now Ned?" She questioned.
"Mom please just get me out of here." I said. She looked at me confused but she did as I asked and suddenly Polk was behind me. I laid my head back against the head rest. I let out a sigh, Why me?
Did you like it? Sorry it was so short. I'll update soon.
