Sorry, forgot the disclaimer was always. I, MTkurbs, don't own Shugo Chara in any way, shape, or form.

Minutes later…...
Kairi comes out wearing a long green coat with a black shirt and pants underneath while Nagi, who comes out after him, wears a loose purple shirt and black pants.

A few more minutes later….
"Kukai! Just enter the room!" Shouts Utau.
"No! I am not going in there dressed in this!"
"It's not even that bad!"
"Utau," Says Kukai turning to face her, "does this really look good?"
She examines him before telling him her answer. "...Yes..."
"You hesitated."
"Did not!"
"Did too."
"Didn't!" She insists
"Did."
"Didn't."
"Did."

By now almost half an hour has gone by...
"Tadase has gone to get something" announces the teacher. "And the rest of the class will be either scenery, helping with props, getting the outfits ready, or doing the curtains and tech."
"Okay, so basically behind the scenes." Rima says, "What's that got to do with the rest of us though?"
"Just a heads up is all." He replies. "Oh, and Ikuto, you can come in now." The classroom door slides open to reveal Ikuto in a tattered black dress with a bandana to match. He was barefoot and did not look happy as the outfit swayed back and forth. The creepiest thing of all was that he managed to somehow pull it off in a weird Ikuto-like way. It just matched his brooding look. Wait, wasn't he always brooding though? Then, that means he has his pissed off face on instead! Or maybe it's just his normal face! Dunno. Amu lets out a sigh.

Out of time...
After getting ready, their teacher ushers them on stage behind closed curtains and says, "Okay guys, go get em'!" The curtains open seconds later and the scene starts with Ikuto scrubbing the ground. Props that help to create the house were put behind him as he keeps his head down. Kukai comes into the scene wearing a dress that doesn't suit him at all and a wig of grey hair that is lopsided. "Holy crap! Were supposed to ad-lib in front of the whole school?!" He cries out as the first words to start off the play when he looks to his left.
"Idiot!" Utau shouts whacking him on the head as she stomps onto the stage next, sending his already crooked wig flying. It lands in the audience causing her to yell: "Hey, could you toss that back up here?" Getting the wig back, she then proceeds to place it on his head correctly, ignoring his protests of being able to put it on himself. "Are you joking?!" Is the blonde's response with an incredulous look to boot. "Did you see what you looked like before?"
"In my defense, I was rushed."
"That's only because you wouldn't believe me when I said that you looked good in your costume!"
"Hey! You can't blame me!"
"Oh yes I can!"
"No actually, you can't." Kukai shoots back placing a stern hand on his hip. Seeing this, Utau pales and covers her eyes in horror. "What are you doing?"
"Trying not to become more scarred than I already am."
"Huh?"
"Kukai."
"Yeah?"
"Do me a favor please."
"Why?"
"Because it's my last dying wish."
"Ut-I mean Drizella, what the heck are you saying?"
"My dear" Utau pauses before continuing. "...Mother." Kukai cringes. "I am begging you. Please, take your hand off of your hip."
Kukai looks down. "Uh, okay, I did it."
"Thank you!" Utau lets out an audible sigh of relief.
"What was so bad about it?"
"Mother." Another cringe from Kukai. "You are wearing a pink frilly dress that has puffy sleeves at the shoulders and doesn't fit your torso at all. Your biceps totally kill the long sleeves and just in general, you are wearing something that is like, 10x smaller that what you fit in. Care for me to continue?"
"You're so harsh Drizella!"
"Not really."
"Yes really."
"I'm not the one who looks like the Hulk in a pink dress! Oh, and Iku- I mean, Cinderella, make sure to clean the pool next."
"We have a pool?" Asks Rima walking gracefully onto the stage now that the two were done quarreling.
"I mean, the..uh… well, yes the well!"
"We have that too?"
"Yes my dear sister, we do."
"Oi Drizella, chill before you pop a tooth or something."
"What do you mean Anastasia?"
"With the way you are clenching your jaw, I am afraid that something might pop off from the pressure."
"I didn't know that was possible."
"Me neither."
"Sister."
"Yes?"
"What's your GPA right now?"
"Dunno." Says Rima with a shrug. "Like, a 0.98 or so."
"What?!" All the people on stage exclaim with open mouths.
"What does a GPA even have to do with this anyways?"
"Ri- Anastasia." Utau starts with a fake smile.
"Yes Gorilla? I mean Drizella."
"Okay, that's it. What is with you?"
"Hm?" Rima feigns innocence by putting on the dumb act.
"What did you just 'accidentally' call me?" Utau makes sure to put quotation marks around the "Accident" word by using her fingers.
"Why, I called you Drizella. That is your name my dear sister, is it not?"
"Yes, forgive me Ant-a-stasia, I guess my hearing is just off today."
"No problem Gorilla." I swear a vein popped from Utau's head right then and there. Lifting her hand up, she is about to give Rima 'The Bird' when Kukai, being the smart person that he is, signals to have the curtains close. In slow motion, Amu watches it all battle out as Utau raises her third finger towards the other blond. Getting closer and closer to being fully extended, the curtains fall just in time to cover the rude gesture before the action is completed.
"Nice timing" comments Amu.
"Thank you" responds both her teacher and Kukai at the same time.
"Kukai, I was talking to our teach."
"What?! But I helped out too!" He whines.
"Places everyone!" Orders the teacher, beating Amu to her retort that she never got out. They are now at the market buying new dresses when the Grand Duke a.k.a Kairi announces that there will be a ball held by the King and Queen for the Prince in order to find a wife. "Wait Grand Duke! Remember, my Queen is dead?" Asks Nagi, the King realizing that they didn't have anyone for her character.
"She is?"
"Yes, she is."
Kairi clears his throat while trying to figure out what to say next. "Erm… uh.. sorry." He starts, trying to hide his confusion. "The Queen is actually dead and the ball is only hosted by the King."
"Okay." Rima deadpans. "Oi Eggplant Head, since when were you in this scene?"
"Forgive me Miss, but who is Eggplant Head?"
"The one with purple hair obviously." She says rolling her eyes.
"And who would that be?" Nagi asks her just for the sake of getting on her nerves.
"Are you sure you don't have a GPA lower than mine?" She replies instead with a tilt of her head.
"Yes."
"Really? 'Cuz right now I am fearing for this kingdom."
"Well at least the people don't have to worry about being led under you."
"Excuse. Me?" Rima was now quite peeved.
"If they were then all you would see are gag manga and clowns. At least under me, the economy actually functions correctly." Now she was pissed.
"THAT'S IT!" Screams Rima. "YOUR KING IS ACTUALLY A FRIGGIN CROSS-"
"NOTHING!" He covers. "SHE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, SO JUST IGNORE HER!"
"Wow, desperate much?" Mutters Rima from underneath his hand.
"Very." He hisses back through clenched teeth that are in the form of a wide, toothy, smile.
"Anyways," Kairi says uncertainly. "All the young women in the kingdom who are eligible, please come two weeks from tonight."
"Okay and goodbye." Utau tells him as she studies her nails, and with that, the scene ends. Behind the stage, Amu is freaking out. She totally forgot that she had stage fright and can't bring herself to come out. I am so screwed she thinks.
