Rated G
I want to thank all who reviewed! I was gonna quit doing this but hey! I'm gonna finish after all. Just to whoever asked (I can't remember but you know who you are) but at the end there's a big Heero/Relena moment. Kay? Now here we go ...
CATHRINE: Izzy-chan, wait a sec. Before we start practice, I was running through my parts and I noticed that you didn't cast one part.
IZZY: I know, I know. Um, the person I casted for Verges, the headborough is Lady Une. She couldn't make it for the previous practices but she'll be here today.
LADY UNE: Did you get my costume, Izzy?
IZZY: Yep. Here. *Hands Lady Une a box with her name on the front.*
10 MINUTES LATER ...
IZZY: Does it fit you okay?
LADY UNE: *is currently ignoring Izzy and flirting with Treize* What? Oh. Yeah, great.
IZZY: Now let's begin. Lady Une, get your butt over here or you're gonna answer to Sailor Uranus and Neptune. Got it?
LADY UNE: *salutes Izzy* Yes, sir!
IZZY: Good. Cathrine, Une, we're gonna begin now. The first and second watches are up The Watch is up too. Act III, scene III: a street. Action!
LADY UNE: The Watch?
IZZY: Yeah. The First Watch. The Second Watch and the Watch. Just work with me.
CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Are you good men?
LADY UNE/VERGES: Yes, or it would be a pity that they should suffer salvation, body and soul.
CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: No, that punishment is too good for them, having being chosen for the prince's watch.
LADY UNE/VERGES: Give them your charge, Dogberry.
CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: First, who thinks who have what it takes to be constable?
FIRST WATCH: Hugh Otecake, sir, or George Seacole; they can read and write.
CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Neighbor Seacole! God has blessed him with a good name, but to write and read comes by nature.
SECOND WATCH: Both which-
CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Well then, let them alone till they are sober: if they do not make you the better answer, you may say they are not the men you took them for.
WATCH: Very well.
LADY UNE/VERGES: You have always been a merciful man, partner.
CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who has any honesty in him.
LADY UNE/VERGES: This is very true.
CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: If you meet the prince in the night, you may stay with him.
IZZY: Dogberry, Verges, exit. Enter Borachio and Conrade. That's Dorothy and Noin!
DOROTHY/BORACHIO: What, Conrade!
WATCH: Peace!
DOROTHY/BORACHIO: Conrade!
NOIN/CONRADE: I'm here.
DOROTHY/BORACHIO: Did you here somebody?
NOIN/CONRADE: No, it was just a vane on the house.
DOROTHY/BORACHIO: I wooed Margaret, Lady Hero's gentlewoman, tonight and she leaned out her mistress' chamber window and bid me a thousand times good night. I should first tell you how the prince, Claudio and my master, saw this amiable encounter.
NOIN/CONRADE: And they thought Margaret was Hero?
DOROTHY/BORACHIO: The prince and Claudio did. My master knew she was Margaret. Claudio left, encraged and he swore he would shame her the next morning and send her home without a husband.
IZZY: That's it. I don't understand the first half of that scene. Oh well. On to the next scene! Hilde, Sailor Uranus and Neptune bring us into scene four. Kay?
HILDE, SAILOR URANUS and SAILOR NEPTUNE: *get on stage*
IZZY: Act III, scene IV: Hero's Apartment. Action!
HILDE/HERO: Ursula, wake my cousin Beatrice and bid her come.
URANUS/URSULA: I will, lady.
IZZY: Exit, Uranus.
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: I think this is better.
HILDE/HERO: NO, I'll wear this.
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: That's not as good; I bet your cousin will say so.
HILDE/HERO: My cousin's a fool and you are another; I'll wear nothing but this.
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: I saw the Duchess of Milan's gown.
HILDE/HERO: They say it exceeds most.
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: Yours is much lovlier.
HILDE/HERO: God give me joy to wear it!
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: Lady Beatrice comes.
IZZY: Enter Beatrice.
HILDE/HERO: Good day, cousin.
RELENA/BEATRICE: Good day, Hero.
HILDE/HERO: Do you speak in the sick tune?
RELENA/BEATRICE: I think I am out of all other tunes. It's almost five o'clock. It's about time you were ready.
HILDE/HERO: These gloves, the count sent me; they are an excellent perfume.
RELENA/BEATRICE: I am stuffed; I cannot smell. I am sick.
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: You should use some of this distilled Carduus Benedictus and lay it to your heart.
RELENA/BEATRICE: Benedictus! why Benedictus? Do you have some moral in this Benedictus?
NEPTUNE/MARGARET: Moral! No, I mean the plain holy-thistle. You may think that I think you are in love; no, I am not such a fool to think what I list; nor I cannot think that you are in love, or that you will be in love or that you can be in love. Yet Benedick was such another and now he is a man: he swore that he would never marry; and yet, I think you look with your eyes like other women do.
IZZY: Uranus, you re-enter.
URANUS/URSULA: Madam, the prince, the count, Signior Benedick, Don John and all the gallants of the town have come to bring you to church.
HILDE/HERO: Hurry, help me dress.
IZZY: That's it for that scene. That's it for that Act! Yay!
I'm trying to scrape up enough time to finish this. I'll try to get out an act everyday. My mom's gonna get really mad. I've been writing for who knows how long. See ya later,
