Much Ado About Nothing: Act IV, Scene II
By Izzy
Rated G

I'm on a roll! How many parts have I gotten out this week? Eight? Nine? But I know it's a lot! I really had no choice though. I borrowed the book. I might not be coming out with more Gundam stories soon. I got really inspired by watching this thing on England's history on the History channel and it's about this girl who, well ... read it, if I ever get it out. If it does, it's gonna be under originals. I'll give you the rundown on it at the end. If you wanna know more or help me out, email me at prncssprsfne@yahoo.com. On with the show:

IZZY: Guys this is gonna be the shortest practice yet but you guys got caught up over some fogged windows-

EVERYONE: *little giggles*

IZZY: We have to waste our own time. Cathrine, Lady Une, Sexton, First Watch, Second Watch, Watch, Noin and Dorothy! You guys are gonn abe in this scene. And I wanna see some acting this time. Don't just stand there! Act IV, scene II: a prison. Action!

NOIN and DOROTHY: *sitting in chairs in the middle of the room*

EVERYONE ELSE: *around them, Lady Une with a notepad*

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Is the whole assembly here?

LADY UNE/VERGES: Yes.

SEXTON: Who are the malefactors?

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: My patron and me.

SEXTON: Who are the offenders to be examined? Let them come before the master constable.

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Yes, let them come before me. What are your names?

DOROTHY/BORACHIO: Borachio.

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: *turns to Lady Une* Write that down. Yours, sir?

NOIN/CONRADE: Conrade.

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Verges, write that down as well.

FIRST WATCH: These men said that Don John was a villain.

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Write down that Prince John is a villain.

SEXTON: What else did you hear them say?

SECOND WATCH: That one had received a thousand ducats from Don John for accusing the Lady Hero wrongfully.

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Are you getting this, Verges?

LADY UNE/VERGES: Of course.

SEXTON: What else?

FIRST WATCH: And that Count Claudio did mean to disgrace Lady Hero in front of the whole assembly and not marry her.

SEXTON: What else?

WATCH: That is all.

SEXTON: But there is something that you cannot deny: this morning Prince John secretly stole away and upon her accusation this morning Hero died from her grief. Master constable, bind these men and bring them to Leonato's. I will show him their examination.

IZZY: Great! Exit Sexton.

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Come, bind them.

DOROTHY/BORACHIO: Away! *gets up and out of chair*

CATHRINE/DOGBERRY: Take them away.

IZZY: That was good. Thanks for making my day.

Short huh? About my story: it takes place in middle age England and it's about a young girl named Chelsea. Her parents and aunt and uncle were killed by the king for treason. Her cousin, a nine year old sickly girl named Anne is left in fourteen year old Chelsea's care. Anne is cared for by Chelsea and their neighbors for two years until one awful day. Anne stole an apple while Chelsea was bringing her to the market place. Anne gets away but the guards capture Chelsea and bring her to the king to be sentenced. By this time she is malnourished and at a loss of sleep. As irony is, Chelsea looks exactly like the dead queen, the king's wife. He takes pity for her and since she will not tell the guards where her cousin is, he makes her work as a scullery maid in the kitchen for free. Anne is helped by her neighbors. Half a year later, Chelsea is being taken care of by the head maid, Lily, and brought back to the king where he strikes up a deal with her. He will find her cousin and get her the best doctor if Chelsea will be his son's personal maid. She inquires him about her duties and he replies whatever his son wishes her to do. She must choose between her virtue or her cousin's life. What do you think? Tell me your ideas in the review.
