HotXbun: Oh my word! I am so sorry that it has been nearly four months since I last updated! I was busy with other stories.
Time to get back to the plot about the musical.
Guest: Thank you.

Chapter 2 Get Your Role Back Thing!
CJ: The next day I was sitting in front of the school with Zelphaba.
"So", CJ started. "What did you want to talk about?"
Zelphaba took a deep breath.
"I wanted to know if you wanted the lead back." [Extra Thing!: For those who didn't read KYFHT, CJ got the lead in the school musical, but gave it to Zelphaba because Fenwick would be playing her love interest.]
"What", CJ asked in shock. "Why?"
"CJ", Zelphaba started. "You earned that role! The only reason I got it is because you gave it up so Fenwick could play my love interest."
Zelphaba sighed.
"Look CJ", she started. "You deserve that role. So, what do you say?"
CJ: So, Zelphaba and I went to talk to Mr Bandt.
"What?!"
CJ: That was him. [Extra Thing!: Oh no.]
"So let me get this straight", Mr Bandt started. "First you make me switch your roles, then, just about two weeks before the show, you want to switch back?"
"Yes", CJ replied nervously.
"But why", Mr Bandt asked.
"Mr Bandt", Zelphaba started. "CJ earned that role!"
"And then she gave it up", Mr Bandt pointed out. "Look Zelphaba. This is showbiz! And in showbiz, you can't just get get back a role once you've given it up."
CJ sighed in defeat.
"He's right Zelphaba", she stated. "Besides, I'm going to NYAPA, so I'll get my chance to shine. Right now, it's your time to shine." [Extra Thing!: Awe.]
CJ: That afternoon, everybody gathered to rehearse for the play.
Garçon walked up to Mr Bandt.
"Mr Bandt", the former started. "Thank you for giving my sister and I roles in the play." [Extra Thing!: Cool!]
CJ: Garçon and Adelaide were going to play Peter's parents. [Extra Thing!: For those who don't remember, Peter is the name of the character Fenwick is playing.]
"You're very welcome Garçon", Mr Bandt said. "Places everybody! Aubrey, onto the stage!"
With that everybody did as told.
"And...action!"
"The next evening, Princess Emma went to Peter's house", Aubrey said in monotone.
"Aubrey", Mr Bandt started. "Off the stage! Zelphaba, Fenwick, Garçon and Adelaide. Onto the stage!"
With that everybody did as told.
Zelphaba pretended to knock on a door and Fenwick pretended to answer it.
"Princess Emma", the latter said excitedly. "Come in!"
With that the princess did as told.
Peter grabbed his parents' hands and pulled them towards the princess.
"Your majesty", he started. "These are my parents. Mère and Père."
Peter's parents bowed down to the princess.
"It is an honour to meet you your highness", Mère stated.
"Oh please", the princess said embarrassment. "There's no need for all that."
With that Peter's parents stopped bowing.
"Anyway", Zelphaba said before holding out an imaginary basket. "Here is the food I promised."
Mère smiled at the princess before taking the 'basket'.
"Thank you so much your majesty", the former thanked.
"Your welcome", the princess said. "Now if you excuse me, I bid thee a due."
With that the princess was about to leave, when Mère stopped her.
"Wait your majesty", the latter started. "Don't go just yet. You should stay for dinner. You are the one who brought the food after all."
"Oh no", Princess Emma said. "I wouldn't want to intrude."
"You're not intruding if I invite you", Mère pointed out. [Extra Thing!: If you remember that line it's because it's from chapter 11 of my other fan fiction 'Follow Your Heart.']
"Yes", Père agreed. "Come princess. While my wife prepares the food, let me sing to you!"
"Adelaide", Mr Bandt started. "Off the stage!"
"Band", Mr Bandt started. "Start playing!"
With that the band did as told.
"Garçon", Mr Bandt started. "Do your thing!"
With that Père walked up to Princess Emma.
"Ma cherie mademoiselle", he greeted in French. "It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. Now we invite you to relax. Pull up a chair as my wife proudly presents...your dinner."
Père started singing 'Be Our Guest.' [Extra Thing!: I think this is the first time in any of my stories I have used a song that was already used in the story.]
When the song ended Princess Emma clapped.
"That was amazing", she stated.
"Why thank you princess", Père said.
"Oh please", Princess Emma said. "Just call me Emma."
"Well then", Père started. "Thank you Emma."
"Well", Princess Emma started. "I need to return home."
"Oh please do come back soon", Mère pleaded.
Emma nodded her head.
"And cut!"
CJ: I'm glad Zelphaba is keeping her role. She deserves it.
HotXbun: We got to see the play again! Yay!
Challenge: Tell me if you think Emma will go back for dinner.
My Answer: Not telling!
