Chapter 10: As You Wish
"Alright, class! As You Wish will now be open for auditions!" Theatre teacher, Mr. Nash announced to the students in his afterschool class. Nikki, placed her headphones in her ears, turning up the volume and started head-banging to the song, Visions By Bring Me The Horizon.
The only reason she attended the afterschool theater class was because Jade "promised" to give her a ride along with Beck, because Jason was apparently too busy to do it. She rolled her eyes, not even wanting to think of her boyfriend at the moment. Instead, she ignored the world surrounding her and indulged in her music.
I am auditioning for the part of Buttercup and Beck is auditioning for the Blacksmith's son. Any other girl wants to play the role, and has to kiss my boyfriend, Beck, huh?!" Jade announces, hands on her curvy hips and giving every other girl the death glare of a lifetime.
Beck shook his head at his girlfriend's aggressive behavior, but he couldn't argue with that. It entertained him in many ways. He loved her regardless. He took a seat next to the head-banging blue haired teen.
Moments Later
"Jade, you would be perfect for the part." Mr. Nash complimented her, making the Goth smirk. "But..."
She frowned and sneered, "But?! But what?"
"You seem too aggressive for the part... And a bit too tall. I imagined the role of Buttercup being short and tiny... To shake things up a bit. No one seems to fit the part... But I can cast you as an understudy and have you on the call-backs list, if I don't find anyone else."
Beck rose up from his seat and walked a silent and seething Jade off stage.
Mr. Nash looked around, until his gaze stopped at Nikki. "You!" he yelled, pointing to the oblivious, head-banging teen.
"Her?!" Jade screeched.
Nikki look up, taking a headphone out of her ear. "What? What?" She answered, looking as lost as ever. "How'd you like to audition for the role of Buttercup?" the teacher questioned.
"Eh, I'd rather not..." the blue haired teen shrugged her shoulders. She was about to put her headphones back in, but she was stopped.
"I'll have every one of your teachers give you 20 points, extra-credit." Nikki immediately stood up. "Hell yeah!" A few students laughed at her enthusiasm, while Jade glared.
All of a sudden, Trina a burst through the door. "Everyone! The prettiest girl playing the lead role of Buttercup has arrived!" Jade's eyes widened. She placed a hand on Nikki's shoulder. "Radke. You audition for the damn play because I do not want Trina kissing Beck or singing. I'd trust you more than I trust her... Plus... Trina is ass." Nikki nodded, stepping up on the stage.
"But I am killing you later." Jade warned, narrowing her eyes.
Day of The Play
" Everyone!" Sikowitz and Nash yelled at the same, damn time to the frantic cast who prepared for the play. "And will someone please get Sinjin some pants!" Sinjin looked around and sighed, "It's not my fault... Rex asked me to let him borrow them..." Rex and Robbie walked in the staging room and Robbie straightened Rex's "new" pants. "Yeahhh~ Sinjin. And they look tight on me, Heheheh!" Rex teased in his urban and slightly husky voice. Robbie, glancing down at his best friend, Rex, slowly shook his head is disapproval. "Sinjin, I told you not to listen to him..." His thin lips pursed for a second. "... He did the same thing to me before..."
"Yeah, and the funny thing bout' it was... You were stupid enough to listen!" Rex teased the both of them. Tori, sporting a sun-yellow dress and turquoise high-heels, walked up to the duo, excluding Rex. She roamed her fingers through her curled brunette hair, glancing at Sinjin, then to Robbie and then to Rex. Her eyebrows knit together in less than a second. "Uh, Sinjin?" She questions, frowning at the weird boy. He was looking at the heart-designed briefs that was around his scrawny waist.
"Yes, Tori?" He answered, looking up at her.
She closed her eyes and sighed, "Okay, you... Are not wearing any pants. Do you know that?!"
Sinjin just nodded his head. The brunette let out a heavy sigh and grabbed Robbie by his shirt's sleeve, tugging and saying, "Let's go get our seats. The play's about to start."
Sinjin walked up to Tori with hope shining in his big blue eyes, asking,"... Can I wear your pants?" Tori frowned and snapped, "No!"
The awkward boy exhaled and walked off some where.
Just then, Jason walked in and looked around examining the back stage. There were many frantic people, cast members half-dresses, people checking the lightings and other things to make sure the performance was perfect. He ruffled his fingers through his his short and curly hair and walked up to Tori poking her slightly on the back. She turned around and gawked at Jason. He had on a tight, black graphic tee-shirt that fit his body just right and brought out his biceps and triceps. His jeans were black and slightly baggy and to top it all off, he wore red, Converse sneakers and red flannel. Matching a few wrist-bands completed his look. A big smile curved onto Tori's face and she introduced herself. "Hey! I'm Tori!" She chimed, beaming to make her cheek-bone show. She stared into Jason's sharp, enticing green eyes.
"Hey, I'm Jason..." He trailed off letting a flirty and slightly toothy smile flash.
Tori flipped her curled brown hair and asked, "So what brings to you the back-stage? I also haven't seen you around Hollywood Arts, either." Robbie interrupted and awkwardly said, "Hi, I'm Robbie. And this is Rex." Jason winked his eye-brow up and Rex retorted, "Aye Wassup!" Jason nodded his head and glanced over at Sinjin, walking around asking other people to borrow their pants.
"Uh, what the hell?..." He questioned and trailed off. Tori sighed and nodded her head, "Yeah... Sinjin's... Always weird like that."
Jason agreed and laughed along with Tori. They stared into each other's eyes. Nikki walked out of her dressing room and stopped in her tracks at seeing her boyfriend and Tori... Along with Sinjin, pants-less.
"Jason." She chimed walking over to him and giving a slight glare to Tori. He broke his gaze from Tori and turned to Nikki, planting a kiss on her lips. "Babe! There you are." He turned to Tori and chirped, "Uh.."
"Tori." She answered knowing that he was wondering her name. "Yeah, Tori! This is who I was looking for! My girlfriend, Nikki." Tori nodded her head and playfully punched Jason on she shoulders, "Haha... Girlfriend..." The brunette looked down at her purple flats and straightened her black blazer.
Nikki rolled her caramel brown eyes and snapped, "Yes, Tori. Girlfriend, now go to your seats, geez." Tori frowned and walked off stage, with Robbie and Rex following her.
"Hey..." Jason whispered, poking the slightly angry Nikki on the back. She turned around, watching him smirk and wrapped his arms around the small of her back, hugging her. "Hey..." She retorted. Jason softly kissed her, pecking her full lips over and over until he smashed his lips onto hers, holding the kiss for a few seconds. The couple broke the kiss, interrupted by Sinjin asking, "Hey, guy-who-Nikki-seems-to-like... maybe-date... can I borrow your pants?"
A puzzled expression formed on Jason's face and he glanced down at Nikki and looked back to Sinjin. "What?"
"Can I borrow your pants?" He questioned, clasping his hands together and smiling.
Ignoring Sinjin, Jason murmured to Nikki, "Was he watching us kiss the whole entire time, babe...?"
They both glanced at a waiting Sinjin and heavily sighed. They let go of each other.
"Sinjin, go find some pants..." - "And Jason, I have to get ready for my role in this thing, so go take your seat."
Jason smugly smirked and joked, "Just how I like it... My girl commands orders." Nikki rolled her eyes and smiled, "Whatever, just do what I said." They exchanged smiles and before Jason left from back stage, he said, "Oh Nikki... About the kiss thing... Don't go over-board okay? I know how you... Like to be professional and be the best... But don't get to into it..." Nikki sighed and nodded her head, going back to her dressing room.
Nikki was in her dressing room, getting ready for the play.
She had her dark-ocean blue hair tied into a ponytail and she put a cap to hold strands over of her hair from getting out. Nikki grabbed the blonde wig with long and thick manes, placing it on her head. She started to brushing the silky hair out and roamed her fingers though the it, admiring the hair a little. After applying her character's right amount of make-up, and pursing her lips to apply an ample amount of lip-gloss, she slipped into the gown she was needed to wear and examined herself in the mirror. A smile curved on her face and she whispered, "Show time."
Minutes Into The Play
"Who are you, young heroine? Such might and power you possess." Andre cried in awe, amazed by Nikki defeating the thief as she sat down onto the wooden chair. Nikki let out a sigh before reciting, "My name is Buttercup. I am on a quest to find an old woman who murdered my mother and sickened my father. I must be strong and wise. I must be powerful. I must be unstoppable... I must be invincible." Jason stared in awe at her acting skills. Mostly girls cheered as Beck walked onto the stage wearing a cream button-up shirt that was half-way buttoned revealing his tan and well toned chest, and some beige pants. Jade had to shoot every girl who cheered death glares to get them to pipe down.
"Father?" Beck said. Nikki rose from her seat, walking over to Beck, letting him plant a small kiss on her hand, sighing, "My, you must be very astonishing to have caught the thief being here..." - "Such beauty and power you possess, Ms. Buttercup." He turned to Andre, who played the blacksmith and Beck's father. "We'll have to be more careful, father." Beck flashed her a crooked smile and bowed before her chiming, "Please, let us reward you with this hand-crafted light blade." Beck walked over to the stone table, carefully grasping the blade, holding the hilt with one hand and holding the tip with the other. He passed the blade on to Andre, who passed it on to Nikki. "Ms. Buttercup." Andre whispers, bowing before Nikki and handling the blade. "Please, visit us when you have complete your quest."
Buttercup nods her head, placing the blade in her sheath holder. "Yes, it would be an honor to be able to." Before walking out the fake wooden door, Nikki gave a glance to Beck. He walked over to her, and the two stared into each others eyes. Beck touched her cheek, slowly inching his lips to hers. He planted a soft, and slow kiss on her glossy lips, holding it for a while. They both closed their eyes, as he pulled her closer.
"Alright, son, you don't want to keep Ms. Buttercup any longer from her quest!" Andre butted in, causing some of the crowd to burst out in laughter. The two broke the kiss, and Nikki started to fake stumbling out the door, waving goodbye to the blacksmith and his son, blushing a bit. She walked off stage, high-giving Cat from her stellar performance.
"Anything you wish, Ms. Buttercup..." Beck mumbled to himself, pacing around the fake room on the stage. He stopped, heading over to a wooden closet in the corner of the fake stage. He opened it, just to reveal an armor of steel. "Father. I must follow my Buttercup on her journ-"
"Say no more, son. Say no more. Take my old armor. Take my old Murking Mist long blade. Take my old bag of stardust. Take my old powder, white steed. I wish you the best of luck, my son."
Beck shook hands with Andre and the curtains closed, ending the scene of the play.
, Ms. Buttercup... Anything for you." Just then, Trina walked onto the stage dressed fully in her maid outfit, with a powdered gray wig and glasses saying, "Buttercup, your father would like to see you now!"
*Jason's POV*
I sat in the back of the crowd, proudly watching Nikkster do her thing on the stage. Everything was going well, when all of a sudden, out walked some tan dude with amazing brown hair and darker eyes... Damn... That's just what I need... Some actually good looking guy to play the lead in this play and kiss Nikki... I scowled at all the screams and cheers various girls hollered as he walked on the stage. Lucky for me, some scary looking chick gave those groupies death-glares. I watched Nikki, playing the girl named Buttercup, staggered behind and she looked back at the guy. They started... kissing. Deeply, too. This could not just be a play right?! I narrowed my eyes at how seemingly long this damn kiss seemed. When was it going to end?! He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in tighter. What the fuck! I wasn't even paying attention to the play anymore and as I snapped out of my thoughts, the crowd started to clap and the curtains closed. I guess that meant the scene was over. But something made me wince and anger built up inside me... Nikki's last words before the scene ended was, "I think... I love him."
*An Hour Later*
"I shall slay you for that!" Nikki yelled, fake tears coming out of her eyes. She took a glance at the unconscious and bleeding Beck, half of his armor damaged. He was sat by a fake tree, eyes closed and leaning against it.
The HA student dressed up as an ogre, roared loudly using a tiny microphone attached to his costume. Nikki leaped up into the air, bringing the blade down on the ogre.
The ogre screeched in pain and Nikki continued slashing him over and over, until he released his final breath, dead. Nikki rushed over to Beck.
"Oh my! Please be okay... I just need you to be okay..." Nikki whispered to Beck, fake tears coming from her eyes. She stared into dark and chocolate colored eyes and he stared off into her light, enticing caramel brown eyes and he cupped her cheek saying, "My Buttercup? There's no need to fret... I had-I had t-to protect you..." He stammered, coughing up fake blood. Buttercup, stroking Beck's flowing hair, let out a quiescent sigh like the script said she should and blurted out, "I love you..." Beck who played as the blacksmith's son inched closer to Nikki. They gazed off into each other's eyes. Beck gently pressed his lips onto Nikki's. She wrapped her arms around his neck, soon after doing so, she broke the kiss and her caramel eyes started into his placid looking orbs. "As... You Wish... My love." Beck smiled and embraced Nikki.
The crowd soon clapped their hands while Jason glared and clenched his fists.
When the lights dimmed, that was Andre's cue to start playing the keys on the piano. Beck began to sing in an amazing voice.
"Life is meaningless..." Nikki followed soon after and the two of them held hands as she sang, "Without you."
"Love can be such- -"
Nikki finished his sentence by singing, "Beau~tiful Torture.."
"My heart breaks as I," They let go of each other's hands and Nikki stood up, clutching her chest, "Long for you..."
"Love can be such-"
"Lovely Torture!"
Andre's piano increased it's tone and sped up a bit as Beck sang, "I.. Will climb the hills, draw my sword."
Nikki raised her pitch, "And take down anyone who tries!"
"To stand in front of me, Please know.. I'll never run away..."
Nikki hugged her arms to around her chest and continued, "Without you in my arms..."
"One day lovers will dream of.."
"This undying kiss."
Beck rose up from his spot and sang, "Not of Romeo..."
Nikki took a deep breath and continued, "Or Jul~iet!" They saunter back over to each other and Nikki's caramel orbs stared into his chocolate eyes singing in a melody together, "Stories... Told of... Our love will never die..."
"I've slain the most unholy things!" He roared keeping a perfect pitch and Nikki returned the favor, "I've endured such terrific pain!" And then she trailed off, "Finally..."
"I feel your caress again."
"I've braved the cold and lonely seas!" Beck embraced Nikki serenading to her, "I have prevailed against the odds..." Nikki closed her eyes and touched her heart whispering in a low soprano voice, "Then again..."
Andre halted his playing for a second and then continued as Beck and Nikki sung the chorus.
"I will climb the hills, draw my sword!"
"I'll take down anyone who tries.."
"To stand in front of me, please know.. I'll never run away!"
"Without you in my arms..."
"One day lovers will dream of..."
"This undying kiss."
"Not of Romeo..."
"Or Jul~iet!"
Nikki and Beck smiled at each other and sang in unison, "Stories... Told of... Our love will never die..."
All of a sudden, all of the cast members came from behind the curtains and started to do various slow dances and singing along.
Beck: Will you forgive what I've done...
Nikki: To give you~~(Four white horses)
Nikki and Beck continued that verse for three more times and then they started back to sing the chorus again.
"One day lovers will dream of- -"
Nikki pressed her fingers to her lips and lowly serenaded, "This undying kiss."
"Not of Romeo..." Nikki hugged Beck and shouted in a high pitch, "Or Jul~iet!"
"Stories... Told of... Our love will never die..."
With their voices dying down and Andre's piano playing dying down, Nikki ran into Beck's arms and they crashed their lips onto each others. Nikki snaked her arms around his neck and Beck deepened the kiss. His soft lips seared onto hers and just like that, they broke the kiss, gasping for air and turned to the crowd, lowly singing, "Our love will never die..."
The crowd stood from their seat clapping and cheering.
Jason inhaled and exhaled, and gripped the seat's handles doing this to keep himself calm. He rose from his seat and started to clap slowly with the crowd. The crowd sat back down as the curtains closed and the next scene began.
After The Play
*Backstage*
Nikki smirked as she dressed back into a baggy tee-shirt and some simple black tights, kicking on her combat-coots and taking the cap and wig from her hair. She let a relaxing sigh escape her lips as she popped the rubber-band holding her hair into the ponytail. Her dark blue hair cascaded down her back and she shook her head around and ruffled her fingers through her hair. There suddenly was a knock at her dressing room and she walked over opening the door.
It was Beck. She gave him a smile as he pulled her into a small hug. "Nice acting!" He exclaimed as they broke the hug. Nikki nodded her head and chimed back, "Not as great as yours," They both exchanged short laughs and Beck teased, "Oh yes. As You Wish, Ms. Buttercup." Nikki giggled and she grabbed her belongings, walking out of the room, along with Beck trailing behind.
The two of them were greeted by Jade, Cat and Tori. "Ha-ha! Nikki you were really great." Cat chimed, nodding her head. Nikki gave Cat a small hug and then the bubbly red-head grinned, "One time my brother was going to star in a musical. He was going to play a crippled burglar trying to rob a mouse's cheese." Everyone exchanged glances and Jade sternly suggested, "Cat go help Sinjin find some pants." Cat chimed back, "But he already found some!"
"Just do it!" Jade gritted her teeth. Cat giggled and chirped, "Kay'-Kay'!" Before prancing over to Sinjin.
Jade crossed her arms over her chest and leaned on her left leg sighing, "Nikki. G... Good Job." She looked down at her feet and then said, "Nice combat-boots as well." Nikki nodded her head and Beck stood by Jade's side wrapping his hand around her waist and kissing her on the cheek.
Just then Jason came walking in. He went to Nikki's side and snaked his arms around her waist, pulling her close to his hip."Hey Nikki..." he said in a low but calm tone. He gave a slight glare to Beck and then glanced over at Jade. "Sup." He said to Jade and Beck. Beck nodded his head and Jade smirked, "Ahh, Nikki.. So this is your boy-friend, huh."
he nodded her head and turned to Jason saying, "Jay, this is Beck and Jade. Beck and Jade, this is my boyfriend Jason. Otherwise known as Jay or JP."
Jason sized Beck as he held his hand out to shake. Jason reluctantly shook Beck's hand and Jade smirked. "So, Nikki's boyfriend... Did she tell you?" Jade questioned.
Jason's eyebrows furrowed. "Tell me what?"
Jade pursed her lips as she watched Jason glanced down at Nikki and she glanced up at him, gazing into each others' eyes. "The Girl's Choice dance two weeks from now." Jade announces, shrugging her shoulders. "Beck and I are going." She smirked at Jason giving his girlfriend a look. Nikki let out a sigh. "I really didn't want to go, you know?" Jason was silent, not breaking his gaze from her. "But still..." He said sighing, "Can we talk somewhere private, babe?"
Nikki retorted, "Sure." They walked from back-stage, hand in hand, exiting the Play Room. Nikki crossed her arms and nudged her boyfriend teasing, "So... how was it?" Nikki stopped in front of him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Jason sighed heavily telling her in a cold tone, "I didn't like it."
Nikki got a confused and puzzled look in the features of her face as she let go of Jason. "Well what was wrong with it?" His green eyes narrowed and he coldly retorted, "Some how... I get the feeling that you enjoying kissing that Beck guy." Nikki scoffed and looked him in the eyes, "What the hell is that supposed to mean? Dude, how many times do I have to fucking tell you; I don't like Beck, he's just a friend and it's just acting!" Jason rolled his eyes in annoyance, "What ever Nikki. From the fucking passion you put into that acting shit, It looked like you wanted to do it so badly."
Nikki fumed, "Basically, what the fuck are you saying?" Jason got in her face and sternly asked, "Do you want to lose me, Nikki or what?!" Nikki winced at his tone and her -brows arched up, "W-What?! Of course not!" He walked passed her, about to walk out of Hollywood Art's door, "You heard me. I can't believe you would even audition for a play where you had to kiss some guy, Nikki."
"It was a class assignment, Jay! Come back here!" She called out, following him towards the door. Nikki grasped his arm, trying her best to pull him towards her. "It didn't mean anything, Jay. I am with you and it is going to stay that way!"
She wrapped her around his neck. He was silent, just staring down at her. "Prove it to me then."
Her eyebrows knitted together. "Prove it? Prove what?"
"How much you love me. If you love me, Nikkster, then you know what I want." He answered back.
She let a cold and stinging tear escape her eye ducts and she stood still for a moment. Nikki sighed and nodded her head once. "Okay, Jason... Okay."
Whoa! Now wasn't that a chapter? Did you all like it? Stay tooned for more Hollywood Arts, Huh? coming pretty soon!
