A/N: Before I start, I would just like to point out that the whole 'play' idea was NOT mine, but rather TheLadyLala's. LadyLala, gomen if this offends you.

And here we go!

PandasWithDeathNotes: Aww thank you!

G66XD66: Thanks, I hate it when things are left unexplained. And yeah, I agree. Poor Giroro. XD

The-chibi-trio: Hey! Love your 'reveal my life' story! And \(^O^)/ to you too! LOL

Chapter 14

"Crap!"

"What is it?" Giroro came up behind Natsumi and looked at the sign.

All athletics are cancelled today due to last night's storm.

"No tennis, I assume?"

Natsumi nodded glumly. "And Mama and Fuyuki both have the keys to the house, and Fuyuki has Occult Club until 5:00. What am I supposed to do until then?"

Just then, Koyuki ran up. "Yayoi and Satsuki are putting on another play! Come and help us out, we need you!"

"Koyuki, I'm not so sure that's a good idea," Natsumi replied. "Remember Peter Pan?"

"That was different. Everybody knows Peter Pan, but this time we're doing Wicked, which hasn't even been made into a movie and the book isn't exactly appropriate. The only way you can see it is to go to New York- and even then it's only in English, so nobody in Japan is familiar with it," the ninja replied.

"But then how did you guys find out about it?"

"Satsuki's dad took her to see it on Broadway- he knows some English, so he translated for her. Then we found the script on the internet and translated it into Japanese. It's going to be great!

"But we don't have someone to play Elphaba or Fiyero. Natsumi, Giroro, PLEASE help us out."

The two looked at each other.

"If we mess up, it will be hard to spot," Giroro admitted.

"And it's not like I'll be performing alone," Natsumi replied with a smile.

"Yay! Thanks, guys!" Koyuki dragged them to the auditorium.

"Guys! I found people to play Elphaba and Fiyero!" Koyuki called once inside.

"Natsumi's OK with this?" Yayoi looked surprised.

"Actually, yes," Natsumi replied.

"Well, let's get rehearsing!" Satsuki grinned.
