"Alright everyone, apparently last night the writers had an idea on how we can beat dorm three by doing a drastic interpretation of the story. So the new "Sleeping Beauty" story line will be set in a now days' time period. The king and queen will actually be an upper class family. The prince will be their son. The princess will be a girl who cross dresses as a male to hide from, Maleficent, her father, who is after her. The three fairies are now the girls only best friends who help hide her as a male." Nanba held up the new scripts and sketches.
"I am still a cross-dressing girl?" Mizuki asked.
"Yes," Nanba handed her the first script and sketch, "No one had to switch actual characters, since that was drawn at random, but everyone's character concept is completely different. Alright everyone get with your study partners and let's go over a few lines! Get in character!"
Reading over his new character description Sano silently laughed.
The prince, is actually an upper class rebellious teenage male. The nickname prince became his since he was the rich boy who hung in the night clubs. He is snooty and a womanizer. He has never been attracted to males, but after meeting the male "persona" of the princess he starts to wonder about himself. The clothing of the character is mostly of a "gothic club" appearance.
Sano grabbed his script and flipped it open, "Hey Ashiya! Let's read on page 44."
"Oh, okay!" Mizuki flipped open her script and did a quick read through of her character.
The princess is a young teen girl who has run away from home, since her father is after her for an unknown reason. She dresses as a male, keeping her hair short and her appearance as androgynous as she can. She met three teen Goths her first night on the streets. They become her friends and guardians. They also help with teaching her to hide as a male.
Mizuki liked the idea of a now days setting. Opening to the page Sano was on they started their practice page.
"So where are you from?" The prince of the club asked the new comer.
"I'm from around." The petite "boy" replied.
"Well around here I am the prince of this club. Usually I take it upon myself to show the new girls around, but you are so feminine I couldn't help but to offer to you too." The prince winks at the small teen.
"Thanks, but I am NOT feminine. I am just shorter than you. I don't need your help." The princess turns to storm away.
"Who did you come with?" The prince grabs her arm.
"I came with my friends."
"Where are they princess?" Using the term princess to spur on the boy.
Princess points to the three gothic boys leaning against the wall on the far side. The prince following her point starts to walk towards the teens.
"Well this sounds more interesting than the original script!" Mizuki flipped pages ahead to find the "awakening" moment.
"True. You know it might be fun to dress up all punk and goth for the play. I wonder how the others will look? My sketch shows a lot of leather and straps." Sano tried to sound positive of his clothing, but he was very unsure. Maybe the first script was better? I don't know which I want to wear less. Leather straps, or tight pants…
"Well my character is a cross dresser so I don't show a lot of skin, but I do wear a lot of blacks and short sleeves and short shorts."
"I wonder what Nakatsu is going to wear?" Sano turned around to where Nakatsu was practicing with Sekime.
Mizuki giggled a little at Sano's comment before she found the spot where the curse was lifted.
The prince finds the princess laying against the alley wall outside the club. She appears to just be asleep. Worriedly he picks her up to take her to his house. Only to figure out while carrying her that she was definitely female and not just sleeping. Once in the room of the prince, he lays her on his bed and talks to her while she "sleeps." He leans down to kiss her. Nothing happens.
I really do get to kiss Sano! In a bed! Mizuki blushed and hid her face in her script.
"Mizuki? Are you okay?" Nanba laid a hand on her shoulder, "You look like your blushing."
"Ah, Sempai, I am fine!" Mizuki perked up and tried to hide her blush, "I was just reading over my characters personality. I have to pretend to be a girl pretending to be a boy. I have to be defensive but it says I am also weak. I was just hoping I can do it right."
"You'll do fine! I know it, just remember to practice and once the costumes done, it will be easier. Once in costume you will become the princess." Nanba patted her on the head and walked to the front of the room, "Alright everyone. Until the contest is over classes have been suspended. Please pour your whole heart into this play! Sports and other activities will go on as scheduled though. I know Valentine 's Day is soon, but please keep in mind that St. Blossom will see the play BEFORE then, maybe some of the good actors will get dates! Alright practice! I am off to see the rest of the production." Nanba walked out the door, leaving Noe and Nakao practicing by themselves. The group then realized all together that the only reason Nanba wanted to be an actor for the play was to attract girls.
Mizuki glanced at Sano who was calming talking to Nakatsu and gesturing with his hand about something. Her face got warm with the thoughts of what they would be doing on stage. I wonder if I should practice 'that' part too. I don't want to get caught off guard with his kiss and embarrass myself.
Sano looked over at Mizuki and caught her staring at him. Apologizing to Nakatsu he walked towards Mizuki. Startled Mizuki blushed and ran out of the room, it was her turn to leave Sano standing in the middle of the room confused.
Mizuki sat down on Sano's bed and read over the next section, since the kiss doesn't awaken her character what did?
The prince realizes that the girl isn't about to wake up. Checking her body he finds a dark spot slowly spreading over her collar bone and towards her throat. Quickly researching the disease the prince figures out it's a localized poison and the only cure is held by Dr. Maleficent, her father.
Mizuki skips ahead further to read.
The prince drinks the remedy and leans down sharing the medicine from his mouth to hers. The princess involuntarily swallows to wake up to the prince stroking her hair. Seeing her awake the prince steals a kiss from her and starts to tell her about the confrontation with her dad. Soon he realizes this is the only time to ask, the prince gets down on his knee and proposes to the princess.
I am kissing Sano how many times? I want to but how can I hide my gender while he's kissing me? Or will he refuse to kiss me? Mizuki crawled up to her bunk with the last thought bouncing in her mind. What if he doesn't want to kiss me?
