Yakko stepped out onto the makeshift hospital stage, looking directly at the audience, to be met with hundreds of eyes staring at him. He pushed down the fear and began.
"Once upon a time, many years ago. There once was a kingdom which you probably don't know. But that is the point of our little show!"
Yakko played his mandolin, as the scene changed thanks to Donatello's hologram projector. The background behind the oldest Warner showed a cold run down town, with falling apart buildings.
Yakko [singing]
" once upon a time! In the Kingdom of friendship there used to be a village which people were part of, once filled with kindness and love! But then one day, the young king Leonardo and King Timothy had a big fight. Which lasted on all through the night! Nobody knew if they would set it right!"
The audience ooh and ahh appropriately. Yakko continued to play his mandolin, walking around the makeshift stage disguised as a rundown village.
Yakko[singing]
"Oh, once upon a time The village was kind, once upon a time the village wasn't blind. Once upon a time the village was just right. Oh once upon a time! Once upon a time! Now this is the end of our little rhyme, now you know what the village was like once upon a time!"
The audience clapped and cheered, the oldest sibling smiled before continuing. Brain was in the audience, he smiled looking at his partner who was captivated by the show.
"Our story officially begins here, with these village children!" Yakko gestured to Wakko, PJ, Michelangelo, Dot, Melody, and Mindy, sitting by a realistic looking fire, once again thankfully made believable by Donatello's hologram.
PJ sighed deeply. "Well guys, looks like we're gonna die of starvation."
"Isn't that, like, y'know, totally illegal?" Mikey asked.
PJ slumped down. "No, unfortunately."
Melody sighed, and started singing.
Melody [singing]
"Some folks say that life is cruel." The others nodded, Wakko joining in.
Wakko [singing]
"At the orphanage they fed us inedible gruel." He said, sticking his tongue out in disgust.
PJ [singing]
"We slept on beds with springs that hurt." He said, cracking his back, and making a face of pure pain.
Michelangelo [singing]
"The faucets have hot and cold running dirt." He said, getting an old cup, and pouring it out showing the audience the hot and cold running dirt.
Mindy [singing]
"The windows were broken, the roof was leaky."
Dot[singing]
"The walls were cracked, the floors were creaky." She said, gesturing to the orphanage walls and floors that were indeed creaky.
Melody [singing]
"They shutdown the orphanage and now we know... "She says sadly, gesturing to the closed sign on the orphanage door, as it was also barred with some wood to keep it closed.
The village children sigh. The village children [singing]
"Those were the days. We miss it so."
Dot[singing]
"And ever since then..." she lowers her voice. "I've been feeling low..." she said, proceeding to cough, as PJ rubbed her back.
PJ [singing]
"Another sub-zero morning." He said, wrapping himself in the blanket.
Michelangelo[singing]
"And still there's nothing to eat! "He gestured to the cupboards, shedding a tear over dramatically at the fact there was no food for them.
Donnie was at the side of the stage, laughing at his younger brother. "Oh Mikey. "He said, continuing to watch them.
Melody [singing]
"My feet couldn't get much colder!" She said, as she gestured to her feet that were covered in ice cubes, as she pulled around the blanket closer, still shivering.
Dot[singing] "Our breath is our main source of heat." She said, blowing out air, but because it was so cold you could see it.
Mindy [singing] "We're so far below the poverty line.
We're off the graph." She said, as it showed a poverty graph, and indeed they were way below the poverty line, as it was down to the ground.
Some of the children hospital patients, not believing they were acting, gasped.
"That's not fair!" One of the children shouted, causing their mother to take their hand in a comforting gesture, reminding them that they were just acting. The child satisfied with the answer, looked back up and continued to watch.
Wakko [singing]
"Well don't fret friends, because things'll get better
In time, then you're gonna laugh." He said, gesturing outside trying to lighten the mood.
PJ looked at him and said. "Ha!" He folded his arms, as though the crazy toon was being stupid.
Townsfolk person #1 [singing]
"Poverty and hunger abound here."
Townsfolk person #2 [singing]
"Yeah, looks like a city dump." They said, climbing out of an old dumpster
The village children began walking to the Village Square, where a mime was busy miming his own business. No pun intended.
Dot[singing]
"There's only one job to be found here." She said, gesturing to the mime, who was still miming his own business. Once again, no pun intended.
Michelangelo [singing]
"The town needs a new speed bump." He said, as some townsfolk went over in their horse and carriage
Townsfolk person #3 [singing]
"The Kingdom Of Friendship was a paradise!"
Townsfolk person #4 [singing]
"Happiest place on earth!" She said sadly, remembering days before both kings fought, and didn't move to opposite sides of the kingdom.
The village children and the townsfolk [singing]
"But King Leonardo and Timothy always fight, making our kingdom worse!" They all said, feeling even worse because both King Leonardo and King Timothy were once friends, but because of this stupid argument many years ago they now live on opposite sides of the kingdom.
Meanwhile, in King Leonardo's castle
Donatello's projector switched from the rundown village, to a nice looking castle where Rob as King Leonardo was looking angry.
King Leonardo [singing]
"No, King Timothy's not knowing!" He said, recounting all his money for the fifth time that day. Usually both kings would tell each other how much they made so that they could both donate it to the once happy, now rundown village.
Meanwhile.
Donnie switched back to the rundown village.
The butcher, Baker, and the candlestick maker [singing]
"All of our shelves are bare!" They said sadly, putting their hands in their empty pockets to emphasise that they had no money.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the kingdom in another castle.
Donatello switched from the rundown village to the other castle, where Jess was also recounting his money
King Timothy [singing]
"My profit margin is growing!" He says, gesturing to the stacks of money behind him, making his daughter, who was at the door cringe.
Princess Lavender [singing]
"They're broke it seems so unfair..." Lavender said sadly, before Royal maid Susie escorted her out.
Lavender sighed. "I don't understand maid Susie, why do my father and King Leonardo always fight?"
Susie hopped up to her shoulder, nuzzling her cheek. "I don't know, Lavender darling, I honestly don't know. But you shouldn't have to worry about it, now come dear, you have warrior training."
Lavender nodded, as she went to her room to get ready for warrior training.
Back in the village.
PJ and Dot[singing]
"As a town, we're so down, so we mope." They said sadly, hugging each other for warmth.
Melody [singing]
"Ya gotta cheer up, and never give up hope!" She says enthusiastically, as Wakko nodded.
The townsfolk [singing]
"We can't cope!"
Melody and Wakko [singing]
"Ya gotta cheer up, and never give up hope!" They said, trying to lift up the townsfolk's Spirits
The townsfolk [singing]
"Are you a dope?!"
Melody and Wakko [singing]
"Nope!"
The village children and the townsfolk [singing]
"Just cheer up and never ever give up hope hope hope hope hope! YEAH!" They cheered happily, their spirits once again lifted.
The audience were all on their feet cheering and whistling. Wakko, PJ, Michelangelo, Dot, Melody, and Mindy, as well as the rest of the townsfolk actors, took a bow. Running off the stage to either get changed, Or help out behind-the-scenes. Mikey ran over to his big brother, Who tackled him in a big hug. "Oh my gosh Mikey! You did awesome!"
"Did ya see me, did ya, did ya, did ya?!" Mikey asked excitedly.
Donnie chuckled, picking up Mikey and sitting him on his lap. "Yeah I did bro! You did awesome!"
Meanwhile, in the audience.
Pinky was sad that he didn't see his human owner yet.
" I don't see sparkle yet! Where is she?" Pinky asked, a little sad. Brain took his paw, squeezing it reassuringly. "Don't fret, my dear. We're only on the first song, she'll appear." Brain said, giving his partner a quick kiss on the cheek, thank goodness it was dark so no one saw it.
"Now, shush, they're about to continue." Brain said softly, guiding his partner's gaze back up to the stage.
Back on stage, the hologram was already transformed into King Leonardo's castle.
Rob in character walked onto the stage, folding his arms.
" why aren't you at Warrior training? "King Leonardo asked the door of Princess Sapphire's room. Sapphire opened the door, and wheeled out. "Why should I go? Give me one good reason. "Sapphire said angrily.
"Because it will make you stronger, and you'll be able to protect MY side of the kingdom!"
Sapphire scoffed. "Yeah, but what about Lavender, and King Timothy? Did you forget they exist too? Oh yeah, you probably did. Knowing you, you only care about your money nowadays!" She said, folding her arms.
The audience oohed at sapphire's sassy attitude. Even Brain chuckled at it.
"THAT'S ENOUGH SAPPHIRE!" Leonardo shouted.
Sapphire backed away, scared, closing the door behind her.
"Sapphire, darling I—" Leonardo didn't bother to protest, he just walked away. Guilt all over his face.
Sapphire decided to call for her Royal bodyguard. She opened the door, making sure her father had gone, before calling for the best royal bodyguard in her castle. The royal bodyguard came quickly, with tea for the two of them to share, the princess gestured her inside shutting the door. Donatello's hologram projector showed Sapphire's room. It was decorated with blue and white themes, making it very elegant for a princess to live in.
"What's wrong your majesty? "Royal bodyguard Shay Asked in concern. Sapphire looked down fiddling with the hem of her dress, as she Debated on what to say.
"It's father again, he asked me why I wasn't at Royal training, and I simply asked him 'why should I go? Give me one good reason' and then he's like 'because it'll make you stronger, And you'll be able to protect MY Side of the kingdom' and all that. Father really doesn't care about Timothy anymore, which means I don't get to see my best friend either. Lavender and I were so close, but yet, father doesn't care. Father doesn't care that it's not just impacting the whole kingdom, it's impacting us as well. I know, I'm sounding ungrateful, but, Shay! It's not right! Lavender shouldn't not be allowed here because of my father and her father's so-called 'big argument' that was 10 years ago! I wasn't even born then!" Shay chuckled. "You were actually three then see you probably won't remember it. "She said.
"Surely Timothy and my father could've made up by now! I mean, seriously, what made two grown men have an argument this big anyway?"
Shay sighed. " that's not up to me to tell you, sweetheart. Your father. You know how he feels about this type of thing, so he probably won't allow you to ask him. I honestly wouldn't go there myself, I witnessed what happened 10 years ago, and, if I'm being honest, it wasn't a pretty sight to see."
A few hours later.
Royal maid Rebecca politely knocked on the door.
" sapphire? Dinner is ready darling." Sapphire opened the door, nodding. The hologram showed her castle hallway as she wheeled along it to get to the dining room. As she approached the dining room, the hologram changed to the dining room, truly captivating the audience. Rebecca gestured her to The plate of food sitting at her place setting, she wheeled over to it. She looked over to see her father, looking at her with guilty eyes, she frowned, trying her best to convey her apology through her eyes. Leonardo got the message, smiling at his daughter with love in his eyes.
Meanwhile, with Lavender .
Lavender, Timothy, and Lola were all having dinner after Lavender finished her training with her warrior trainer. "How was training today Lavender?"
Lavender sighed. "It was fine, I guess. "She says sadly, eating her dinner over dramatically. "Lavender, "her mother scolds. "Eat your dinner properly, you know that's not how princesses eat. " lavender scoffed, annoyed. "Yeah! Well maybe if you weren't so mean about me not being able to talk to my best friend, maybe I wouldn't be like this! Sapphire is my best friend, I love her so much! But yet you don't care about anything I want to feel! Clearly, and obviously you don't care. I'm going off to bed! Good night mother, father." Lavender said, Susie following closely behind.
Leela exits the stage and the oldest Warner comes back on.
"Ooh! Some family drama! " Yakko says. The audience laughed, the eldest very happy he managed to humour them.
"Glad I could humour you everyone! Now let's head back to King Leonardo's castle!" He says, playing his mandolin and the transition changed.
Sparkle A.k.a. Sapphire was already in bed, she waited for Rob to appear. He soon did sitting on her bed.
"Father I—" Leonardo pressed a finger to her lips. "Shh, don't worry Sapphire, I already spoke to your mother, actually, she was the one that suggested I come to see you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for forcing you to do training when you clearly weren't in the mood. And, I know how much you miss Lavender... But I can't allow either of you to be together... That was the rule we made when me and Timothy fought."
She looked at him quizzically. "Why did you fight? It can't be just because of something stupid, like, I don't know, whoever has the best comedic skills? There has to be something really big, especially since you haven't allowed us to see each other for like, 10 years."
Leonardo chuckled, lying his daughter down to get her ready to sleep. "You will learn that with time, my child. But you are not yet wise enough to understand, speaking of which. Your royal tutor is coming tomorrow, so I want you up and ready by 8 o'clock sharp."
She nodded, yawning. Leonardo chuckles, proceeding to sing his lullaby to her
King Leonardo [singing]
"It's now time for you to rest, it's now time for you to dream. Whatever dream you may indoor, i'll always be the one to look for... Rest my child, and sleep well now, I promise there's no harm around, I'll keep you safe and out of the way. I promise to be with you every single day...It's now time for you to rest, it's now time for you to dream. You needn't fear, always be here. I'll always keep you in my heart... "
He kissed her forehead. "Good night Sapphire." He whispers.
The audience clapped for him. He walks behind everyone to get to Maurice.
"I'm gonna kill ya, Mo. The song literally felt like I made it on the spot! It didn't feel real at all! Next time we leave you in charge of pretty much everything, why don't we just get a lullaby from a YouTuber something."
Maurice scoffed. "Well excuse me if I don't have Stephen's directing skills! The teacher chose me to, so, I didn't exactly have a choice in the matter. But anyway, you did great! See? What did I tell you? I told you you're a great actor!"
Rob waves him off. "Okay, yeah yeah, we've gone over this. I don't need to be flattered, I'm happy to act alongside you guys, always. I mean, look at Jess! He hasn't done any acting in his life, he's a natural!"
Donnie interrupted them. "Guys, we're coming up to the flashback sequence of the play, Leela be ready, you guys get sparkle in her chair. "The boys nodded, as Donatello dimmed the lights, which, to the audience made it look like she was sleeping.
They went out to the stage to help sparkle into her chair for the next scene. Leela waiting, the boys gave a thumbs up for the scene to begin.
Leela ran out, bending on her knees and getting into character.
Princess sapphire and princess Lavender (age 3) [Singing]
"1, 2, 3 together, clap together, snap together
You and me together, knees together, freeze together
Up or down together, princess crown together
Always be together, you and me
1, 2, 3 together, clap together, snap together
You and me together, knees together, freeze together
Up or down together, princess crown together
Always be together, you and me!" The girls say, finishing their clapping game. As Queen Angelina walked out to them.
"Girls! Girls! Girls where are you?"
Lavender pushes sapphire so the girls were hiding.
Princess Lavender [singing]
"They say a princess is full of charm and grace." Lavender says imitating her mother, making Sapphire laugh.
"They say she always knows her place
They say a princess wears pink and frilly clothes
They say she never laughs and snorts milk out her nose
They say she's calm, they say she's kind
They say she never speaks her mind,"
Sapphire points to her bodyguard, and Then to a ice pack. Lavender chuckles, putting the ice pack on the bodyguard's chair waiting for her to sit down.
Princess Lavender [singing]
"or freezes the bodyguard's big behind!" She said, as Sapphire's bodyguard sat down, immediately jumping up.
Princess sapphire and princess Lavender [Singing]
"But you and me, we.. We know better!"
The audience roared with laughter.
Bodyguard Shay [Spoken]
"You girls are in so much trouble! Wait until I tell your father..."
Lavender and sapphire laugh, but Sapphire looks confused. Lavender was standing, she was in a chair.
Princess Sapphire [spoken]
"How come you can do that and I can't?"
Princess Lavender [spoken]
"I donno, I wish you could though... " she said hugging her
Lavender pushes sapphire outside into the courtyard.
Princess sapphire [singing]
"They say a princess is super duper sweet!" She said, giving a sweet smile with a mischievousness hidden within.
Princess Lavender [singing]
"She doesn't fight; she doesn't sweat." She said, she got a wooden play sword and pretended to fight with Sapphire.
Princess sapphire and princess Lavender [Singing]
"And you never see her eat! " they say, as sapphire burped. Causing the audience to erupt into another fit of laughter.
Princess Lavender [singing]
"They say a princess doesn't climb and scrape her knee!" She says, lifting her dress to show two scraped knees. The girls head back inside, as their warrior trainer was calling them. Before they went to her though, they got her tea that the chef had prepared, and put some ice in it. They placed it down and wait for the warrior trainer.
Princess sapphire [singing]
"They say a princess wouldn't freeze her trainer's tea!" She said as the Royal trainer took a sip, immediately spitting it back out.
The Warrior Trainer [spoken]
GIRLS!"
Lavender and sapphire giggle.
Princess sapphire [singing]
"They say she's poised."
Princess Lavender [singing]
"They say she's fair."
Princess sapphire and princess Lavender [Singing]
"She never mentions UNDERWEAR!" They both shouted, slightly lifting their dresses up. Making the audience once again erupt in laughter.
Out of context though? A totally different thing.
Princess sapphire [singing]
"Or longs to see the world out there!"
She said, and she looked out the window. Lavender nodded, pushing her outside, on the way they grab some pens and some paper.
Princess sapphire and princess Lavender [Singing]
"But you and me, we, have big ideas of our own
For the distant someday when we're grown." they said colouring each other, in order format. Lavender had a purple dress, where as sapphire had a blue dress.
Princess Lavender [singing]
"When I'm Queen."
Princess sapphire [singing]
"And I'm your right hand.
Princess Lavender [singing]
"You'll get to travel."
Princess sapphire and princess Lavender [Singing]
"Throughout the land!"
Princess sapphire [singing]
"I'll tell them about my best friend and awesome things she can do!"
Princess Lavender [singing]
"We'll take care of our people, and they will love—"
Princess sapphire and princess Lavender [Singing]
"Me and you!
No one can tell us what a princess should be
As long as we're together, you and me!" They say hugging each other.
The audience clapped, cheering and whistling, as the music faded out.
"That's awesome Sapph! Maybe our daddies will let us rule together when we're older, just like them! "Lavender said. As King Timothy entered the scene, picking up his daughter and giving her a hug. "Papa! No! Get me down!"
King Timothy chuckled. "What do you say? "
"Please." She answered.
King Leonardo couldn't exactly pick up his daughter, so instead, he opted to kiss her on the forehead.
"You girls have been causing trouble again, haven't you? "He guessed. "No?" Sapphire said innocently.
"Nice try kiddo, but nope, the innocent face isn't going to work this time. Anyway, Lavender and Timothy need to go home."
"No!" Both girls whine. "But papa! We just started playing! "
King Leonardo smirked. "Uh huh, by 'just started playing' You mean, causing the Royal staff trouble. Uh huh, I see what you're doing. But no, it won't work. Sorry sweetie, they have to go. "
"Okay." They said in protest. As they left the room, the hologram changing as the others followed them to the entryway of the castle. "Thanks for coming Timothy. "King Leonardo said, saying goodbye to his best friend as they left the building.
Leela, Jess, sparkle, Rob and Carla exit the stage. Yakko walks out, the hologram changing to just the ordinary stage.
"AWE!" He squeals. As he makes cute eyes. "Wasn't that just adorable?! Little Lavender and sapphire were the cutest things ever! "He clears his throat. "Anyway. So we are now at the halfway point of the play, will be having intermission for about 15 minutes, before we do go to intermission though, I would like to give a brief explanation as to why we are doing this play."
"As some of you may know, or if some of you don't, this is a charity event. This is a charity event for a very serious but wonderful cause. Recently, over the past few years one of our student's parents had recently been suffering with cancer. Luckily, and very very thankfully, they're still here today. But if it wasn't for you guys donating and buying the tickets, we wouldn't of had enough money to give this wonderful man his treatment to survive. So thank you. Daisy and Priya Will be handing out leaflets, and coming round with donation buckets. Refreshments will be held in the reception area, but please don't bring them into the staging facilities. If you would like a drink, please make sure you drink your drink outside and throw away your recyclable cups in the recycling bin. Thank you! Enjoy the intermission everyone!"
Brain was smiling ear to ear, as he stood up. "THAT WAS AMAZING!" Brain said very happily. Pinky was very happy to see his Brain very happy.
"I know narf!" Pinky said, pecking his partner on the cheek. "Can we go and see her? "
Brain shook his head. "No, not right now, pinky. She needs to make sure she has something to drink and something to eat, she'll be too distracted if she sees us. But don't worry, we'll see her after the show, I promise. Then you'll be able to tell her how proud you are of her, alright?"
Pinky nodded, satisfied with the answer.
Meanwhile, backstage.
OH MY GODDDD!" Maurice Said overjoyed. "Guys! Guys! Guys guys guys! That first act was amazing! You did absolutely amazing! Go get yourselves something to drink and eat guys, we only have 10 more minutes before the next act is supposed to start. "The cast nodded, going off to powder their nose, get a drink and something to eat, or genuinely take a breather. Rob, went to go and take a breather.
"I Actually can't believe that we are pulling this off Maurice! I actually can't believe it! And to think, we still have a few more performances to do at the school as well! I can't believe it! I'm so happy we've come this far, it took half the school year of planning, script writing, evensong writing, even though some of the songs Warner Brothers allowed us to use. I just can't believe it "Rob said, Drinking his water in two Swift gulps. Maurice chuckled, giving rob a hug. "You better get ready, intermission ends in about three minutes. "He said, Rob nodded going over to put on his kingly robe and his crown.
Back with the audience.
Nearly everyone that had been there when they arrived was back from their little drink break, following the oldest Warner's rules about throwing the disposable recyclable cups into the bin. Everyone was sitting, waiting patiently for him to return to continue the story further. After about another two minutes he returned.
"Hellooooo everyone! Enjoyed intermission?"
The crowd stares at him most of the kids were dumbfounded.
"Yeah yeah, just get on with it! "One of the children say. Their mother cringed, sending apologetic eyes to the oldest Warner sibling.
"Alright Little lady, guess I can't please everybody with my wit and humour, huh? Well that's cool, you'll get it when you're older. "He winked at the child's mother, who couldn't help a smirk appear on her face. Yakko pulled out flowers for each of the little female patients, he walked down the stairs, handing them a pretty rose with a kiss on the forehead or cheek. Besides, for some of these worsening patients this would be the last thing they saw.
Roses handed out, and back on the stage the second act of the play could begin.
Donnie switched his projector so it showed the two castles at the same time. Daisy and Priya walked out in their characters, with a mop bucket and a mop. They set them down, kind of annoyed.
"We don't get paid enough." Rebecca complained, starting to clean as she sang.
Royal maid Rebecca [singing]
"It's a hard-knock life for us
It's a hard-knock life for us."
Shay Walked out, folding her arms. "Oh my gosh Rebecca, stop being dramatic. King Leonardo pays us relatively, so stop saying you don't get paid enough."
On the other side of the stage, Susie was annoyed, but still continued to clean, only this time, without the singing. "I hope Princess Lavender is alright." She said to herself.
Donatello's projector now only showed one of the castles, King Leonardo's castle, as he went to go and wake up Sapphire, for Royal tutoring. Sapphire was already up and getting ready. "Good morning father, I'm already up I just need to do my hair and put on my tiara." Leonardo smiled, exiting the room leaving her to get ready.
Yakko stepped back onto the stage, as Sapphire was still getting ready. "Actually folks, Sapphire is going to be a bad princess and sneak out. "He said, playing his mandolin, making it do the 'dun dun dun' effect as the audience oohed. Yakko quickly walked off the stage, letting the play continue as normal. Sapphire got her tiara on, and smirked. " if father won't let me see my best friend, then I'll just see her by myself!" She said, putting the bag over her shoulder and wheeling out of her room. The projector showed that she was Wheeling down the hallway, but instead of turning left to go into the dining room for breakfast, she went straight out the castle doors. King Leonardo and Queen Angelina not suspecting anything.
Meanwhile, with Lavender.
"Okay Lavender." Warrior trainerBillie said, getting into her stance. "Now Try and attack me. "
Lavender nodded, before turning to the audience. "Don't try this at home kids! "She winked before going over to attack her warrior trainer, she did a smooth landing, while the warrior trainer was on the ground.
"Good, Lavender! Now, can you keep training for me? Your father just called me, I'm presuming he would like to talk to me,make sure you keep training okay?" Lavender nodded as her warrior trainer left.
Lavender gaped. " sapphire? I thought our dad's told us that we can't see each other! We're going to be in serious trouble! "Lavender exclaims. Sapphire scoffed. "Well, i'm sorry I waited 10 years to see you! I'm sorry I actually wanted to see you..." sapphire replied, shedding tears. Lavender hugged her. "I missed you too."
The girls sneakily leave the courtyard.
The audience oohed.
Back with King Leonardo and queen Angelina.
" Leonardo darling, where is Sapphire? She should be out of her room by now. Her Royal tutor is coming after breakfast. "Then, Royal maid Rebecca came running out.
"My Queen, my king, I have some horrible news! I went to go and call for your daughter to let her know that it's breakfast time, and I can't find her anywhere!" She exclaimed, worried about the Princess
Leonardo and Angelina quickly got out of their chairs, heading quickly to the doors, trying to see if it was too late. Unsurprisingly, it was. The king and queen quickly fled knowing where she'd be. With Lavender.
When King Leonardo and Queen Angelina arrive at King Timothy and queen Lola's castle.
They arrive to see Sapphire and Lavender crying, holding each other.
"Why can't we get along again? Sapphire had to sneak out just to see me! Do you guys care about anything other than money, and getting at each other's throats?! "Lavender shouted. "If I was Queen, I would make sure that our village doesn't end up run down like it is now! We have village children that are dying, one of them has pneumonia! And she needs an operation as well, can you guys imagine how the village would be feeling if she died?! No, no you can't! What kind of kings are you if you're not willing to help out your village and force both of your daughters into isolation because some of you couldn't get along! I mean, what was the fight about anyway? But no, don't tell us, it's fine. But I hope you both realise what failure Kings you've become." Lavender finished bitterly.
Then, a piano instrumental plays, as the lights dim down and the castle background hologram changes into the village.
King Leonardo and Timothy walk around the village, the hologram moving in time with them and they walked. They looked, seeing all the townsfolk crying and sad. They saw the village children Wakko, PJ, Michelangelo, Dot, Melody, and Mindy, crying as Dot was coughing and ruggedly breathing. Then, one member of the ensemble came onto the stage starting to sing.
Ensemble member#1 [singing]
"They have to find a way
To make this all okay
We can't believe this small mistake
Could have caused so much heartache."
They came across The butcher, The baker, and the candlestick maker's shops closed, with them crying. The Kings family walk past them, feeling bad.
Ensemble member#2 [singing]
"Oh why, oh why…."
The village moved again, the mine Setting solidly on the ground. Timothy looked at him, feeling horrible. They continue walking around, until they come across a homeless family and their child, the child was wrapped in a brown blanket, shivering.
Ensemble member#3 [singing]
"Something is wrong it's plain to see
This isn't how it's meant to be…"
Ensemble members#1,2, and 3 [singing]
"And you can see it like We do
It's not the life that's meant for you….Oh why, oh why…."
Both of them both around at the Kingdom they once ruled over together.
It was ruined, ruined because they were too selfish, just like their children had said.
Ensemble member#4 [Singing]
"Oh why, oh why…."
Ensemble members #1,2, 3, and #4 [singing]
"Losing promise We don't know what to do
Seeking answers
We fear We won't get through to them…"
Both kings walk back to King Timothy's Castle, where both their daughter were hugging each other. Lavender still had a scowl on her face, as she hugged Sapphire.
Princess Lavender [spoken]
"I hope both of you are happy…"
Ensemble members #1,2, 3, and #4 [singing]
"We'll try, We'll Try
We'll Try, and we'll try…."
King Leonardo [spoken]
"Oh Timothy… What have we done…?" Leonardo said, has the music played out, as the lights completely dim, giving Jess and Rob time to get off the stage.
Rob walked backstage, and full on sobbed.
Maurice ran over. "Hey hey hey, what's wrong…?" Maurice asked soothingly.
"I-i-it's just this song… It hits differently now that my dad is cured…." Rob replied while sobbing into Maurice's shoulder. Donatello offered Rob some water, Who took it gratefully. Jess hugging him sideways. Then, Tress walked in. Immediately noticing Rob, coming over and giving him a hug. "that song is triggering, huh?" She soothed.
Leela and Sparkle walked backstage, seeing their distraught classmate. Sparkle and Marice switch places, sparkle instead hugged him. As the director went to Yakko to ask him something. "Hey, uh, Yakko? Well you may have a slight problem. Rob is having what I'm presuming is a panic attack from the last musical number, can you and your siblings go out to the audience to entertain them for about 15 minutes just until we get Rob calm again? I didn't plan for this to happen, but Rob is unstable to go back out onto the stage like this."
Yakko nodded his head. Grabbing his siblings who were dressed in their normal clothes. "We have a stage problem, Sibs. Rob is on the verge or having a panic attack, and he's not able to go out on the stage. So Maurice asked us to go out onto the stage and entertain the audience for about 15-20 minutes, just until Rob's Panic attack subsides enough for him to go out onto the stage." His siblings glance over at Rob, frowning, before nodding, allowing their oldest brother to take them onto the stage.
Melody quickly followed, running to catch up to her siblings.
15-20 minutes later.
"I-I-I can't go back out there! "Rob exclaimed. "I'll ruin everything!"
Maurice folded his arms. "Rob, stop talking like that! You haven't ruined everything! And you won't ruin everything! You'll do amazing! You already were doing amazing! You are amazing… Please. These hospital patients need the showbe over soon. We already are running behind schedule… You only have I'd say, "Maurice calculated in his head. "One hour left, and that's not including bows. You don't have that long and then you can go and relax, I promise. For the school performances will have your understudy take your place, but please Rob… We need you." Maurice pleaded.
Sparkle came over to Rob.
"Who was the one that helped me through my scary time in the hospital?"
Rob blinked. "I, uh, did?"
Sparkle continued. "Who was the one that gave Donatello the courage to ask April out?"
Rob blinked again. "I was? "
Donatello spoke up next. " Who was the one that was by my side for the whole year and took me to grieve over April when she died in a car accident, and tell me everything would be okay?"
Rob blinked again. " I was." Rob said more confidently.
Sparkle laughed. "See Rob? Look at all the nice things you did for us! And I bet you can't even remember all of them do you know why that is? It's because you don't give yourself the rightful credit you deserve. None of you do. You're all great at this, we worked for months to make this group play possible. And I'm not gonna stop now! So come on Eastwood! What are we gonna do? We're gonna go back out there and put on the best performance ever! Am I right?!"
The cast as well as the ensemble cheer.
" can I get a "whoop whoop?"
" whoop whoop!" The cast cheer.
Back onto the stage.
The lights turn back on and the play continued.
Donatello's hologram projector showed sapphire's room, inside she was crying.
The hologram switched, to her door where Leonardo was standing. He knocked on the door three times, to receive no answer. "Sapphire, darling? Please let me in. I want to talk to you…"
The door opened. Sapphire came out, crying still. Her father wrapped her in a hug, shushing her. The music for his lullaby came again, he rubbed her back, starting to sing again
King Leonardo [singing]
"Hush my child, please do not cry, I want to see your smile.
Please, oh please don't you cry, I hate seeing those tears in your eyes.
I'll be here, near and far, I'll be here wherever you are.."
The audience clapped, as Leonardo placed a kiss on her forehead.
Who audience didn't see it, but Rob and sparkle shared a hug in real life as well. "Thank you." Sparkle whispered out of character, Rob nodded, not wanting to break character. They pulled apart, Rob resting his hand on her shoulder. "Father, please, please speak with Timothy. Despite can't go on any longer, please. If not for us, what are the village."
Leonardo looked at his daughter. " alright. "
They were now at the part of the play where the kings and queens of The kingdom were once again fighting with each other.
Rob and Tress were hand-in-hand on one side of the stage, and Jess and Carla were at the other side, Jess and Carla were watching their movements. "I demand everything be like this!" Jess boomed as the king. Rob stepped forward. "Well I demand everything be like this! "Rob boomed. Sparkle and Leela were in the middle of the makeshift stage, The hologram showing the Royal dining room, in characters. They were scared and didn't know what to do. Sparkle snapped her fingers with an idea, then the music started to play.
Princess Sapphire [singing]
"I never claimed to be perfect
My mistakes are all written in ink
None of us claimed to be perfect
And it's sad if that's what you all think
Our flaws helped to make us special
They bond us and keep us strong
Our flaws are what brought us together
So stop actin' like somethin's wrong
Princess Lavender and Princess Sapphire [singing]
"We're not flawless
We're a work in progress
We've got dents and we've got quirks
But it's our flaws that make us work
Yeah, we're not flawless
We're a work in progress
So tell me what flaws you got, too
'Cause I still like what's flawed about you.."
They sang together. Both king and queen looked at each other, walking forward. Rob was in front of Jess, and Tress was in front of Carla. " I guess we all have flaws then, don't we? "Rob says as King Leonardo. Jess as King Timothy nodded. "Yes, we do. I now see that my daughter Lavender is right. We must not let our kingdom divide us, we must be friends. "Both kings and both Queens shook each other's hand, shaking on the agreement that they were going to be friends now. Sparkle and Leela both hugged each other in their characters. " we did it my friend! We have United our Kingdom once again! Huzzah! "Sapphire Cheers. "Huzzah! "Everybody cheers.
The audience stand up, roaring applause coming from the entire audience. The cast turn around, looking at the audience. The remaining ensemble walk out as well. The main cast stand in the middle, grabbing each other's hands, as well as the ensemble. They walk forward bowing, soaking up all the applause. The cast step back, allowing the people that were working behind the scenes to come out onto the stage and take a bow.
Then it got to the individual. Sparkle and Leela walked and wheeled to the front of the stage, holding each other's hands and bowing, blowing kisses as well. They step back, allowing everyone else to go.
It was Rob's turn to bow. He stepped out onto the middle of the stage, and bowed, staying there a little longer than everybody else to soak up all the applause. His friends were right! He could do this. He then lifted his head up, smiling at the audience, seeing all those faces, and some familiar ones looking at him, they were proud of him.
Backstage.
Maurice had tears of joy pouring down his face.
"HOLY SHIT GUYS! WE DID IT!" Maurice exclaimed. "We actually fucking did it! We actually fucking did it! "Maurice covered his face, screaming into his hands. " guys. I really don't know what to say other than, thank you. Thank you so much for putting in the time, the effort, all the rehearsals. Thank you. Thank you so much. We all did amazing today. Thank you a million times over." Maurice says. "I'm so proud of you, Mo. Considering you've never directed in your life, I'm so proud of you. If it wasn't for you we wouldn't have made this play. Steven would be so proud of you." Rob congratulated, hugging his best friend tightly.
"Yes!" Leela exclaims. " actually did it… I can't believe it! "The 13-year-old girl says, jumping up and down from excitement.
Ben, a 12-year-old Steven Spielberg comes back stage, and the whole entire cast's mouths dropped open.
The 12-year-old came up to Maurice, placing both of his hands on his shoulders. "Maurice…. I have absolutely no words! You did amazing! I'm so proud of you… My dad is too. You did a fabulous job, I'm so proud of you. Next time, I really want to be in one of these!" Maurice chuckled. "You are more than welcome to audition for the next play we do next year. We're going to be having a pizza party at Antonios, you should join us!" The 12 year old lit up. " of course! I'll ask my dad. "Steven says, running back to the audience where his dad was to ask him if he could go to Antonios.
Rob chuckled. " sparkle, I think you have some visitors!" Rob said, pointing to 2 little mice running over to sparkle. Brain clambered up her chair and into her lap. The remaining cast gave her her space.
"OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSHOH MY GOSH! Sparkle! Sparkle sparkle! Where do I even begin?! You did AMAZING! I-II loved it! You did amazing! I loved every part of it! You were fabulous darling! I honestly cried it was that amazing! I'm so proud of you baby… You made me very proud. And, your parents watched! I'm pretty sure they cried too. We are all very proud of you. This performance is better than any world in my opinion! It was so amazing I legitimately cried!" Brain exclaimed, making his human owner blush. "Thank you, thank you so much." She said, beginning to sob. " you don't realise how much that means to me… I finally proved something… I finally did what I was meant to do."
Brain nuzzled her. " oh sparkle… You didn't need to prove yourself at all… It doesn't matter what society thinks of you. It matters what you think of you. Nobody else… you taught me that. "Brain told her.
Pinky was about to literally burst. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I have no words! This was, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! It was so amazing! I loved every second of it! You should be so proud of yourself sweetie. I'm so so proud of you." He said, coming up to her cheek and giving it a kiss.
30 minutes later.
"Pizza party time! "Michelangelo exclaimed.
Sparkle smiled. They did it. The whole cast actually did it. They put on the pro they been working on for months. Sparkle was literally smiling ear to ear. She couldn't believe it. They actually did it. They actually put on the school play.
Sparkle couldn't wish for anything more.
A/N: swearing warning!
HOLY SHIIIITIIIT! WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUCK!
This chapter is 8000 words plus. And that's minusing the authors note. But holy shit. Holy shit. Wow! I am so proud of myself right now! You have no idea how long I have spent on this chapter. I've spent a whopping six weeks on this chapter. So not to sound ungrateful or anything, but please. PLEASE for the love of God, please like this. I am really really proud of this chapter I am so so proud. I've spent as I mentioned six weeks on this chapter, fading in and out of depression while writing it. I am so so so so so so so so so so so grateful for The patience you guys have given me, while I spent the majority of my summer holidays after finding out that my surgery has been postponed, in the worst state imaginable. I am so thankful for everybody here that has given me motivation to keep going.
Leela. Oh my God Leela. I don't know what to say other than thank you so much, thank you so much for leaving such kind reviews on all of my stories. Thank you so much sweetie, you're amazing and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have made this whole entire story in the first place. And yes, chapter 12 will be the last one before I take a much needed break to focus on school. At the time of writing this chapter I go back to school in four days, I'm really looking forward to it. I can't wait to show my English teacher this chapter, and if he is reading these authors notes.
No, I don't like brain romantically. No. Just no. This is not the intention of the story. It's a family dynamic. But, Each to their own, I guess?
So chapter 12 will be the epilogue leading to the sequel to this book.
Love Is In Bloom.
Yes. That's right ladies and gentlemen, and of course our non-binary friends. There will be a sequel starting next year I'm so excited. I have so many plans for this universe, this series as a whole. I'm really really looking forward to the fun adventures me and everyone else in our magical universe get up to. That'll be coming in the near future, in 2022. As for the rest of the story is, I don't know when I will be updating them, it'll probably be next year now, but I hope you guys do you understand. I haven't abandoned my other work. I hate abandoning works. But because of my mental health, I couldn't continue this story without some major perseverance. I only managed to get past this chapter because I'd already started it before I broke up for summer vacation, and before my surgery got postponed. So I'll be finishing the story off, but I still don't know about the others. They will be finished, and they will be completed. But until my mental health is stable enough for me to write those books again, I will be on hold. I only have inspiration to write this book, because I know it's nearly over. I'm so happy that this book is nearly over, so that you guys can read it all without waiting for the next chapters to arrive. I am so excited. And I hope you guys are too.
So from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so so so much you have no idea how much your support a new series means to me I am so so grateful. Thank you. So, until the epilogue. I will see you soon! Bye!
