Pre-Audition Paranoia
Finally, after a long silence, Gambit helped Rogue up and she walked shakily over to the porch and sat down, still staring at the staue that had nearly killed her. Still no one spoke, until Rahne decided to continue where Jamie left off.

"That was so unlikely! I mean, like, that statue was like, so stable! And like it fell on her!" Kitty said to her non-mutant friend Latisha, over the phone. "Wow, so your saying it just fell?"
"Yep, that's what I said! It was, like, so weird!" Kitty said excitedly. "So what were you saying about the play?" Asked Latisha's voice over the phone. "Oh! It's Romeo and Juliet and I'm like trying out! That's one of the reasons I like called, I need you to help me prepare for the auditions and like, stuff!"
"Yeah, sure, but I need to know I'll be going to watch this play."
"Alright! Thanks alot, Latisha!"
They hung up and Kitty ran downstairs to see Jamie. He was typing up an e-mail to a web-friend? Let's see... She thought as she looked over his shoulder. the letter said:
Dear Jenny,
I got your e-mail, and I just wanted you to know I'm sure you did fine on that test! I also wanted to let you know I'm an assistant stage manager for the play Romeo and Juliet! This is gonna be so much fun! I really wish you could be here, but I know you're really busy with things at home. Well, anyway, please write back!
Much love,
Jamie.
Kitty smiled evilly and turned him around chanting "Jamie's got a girlfriend" and he rolled his eyes. "You're sick, Kitty. That's a letter to my cousin."
Kitty rolled her eyes this time and shook her head. "Fine, I'm sorry I got the wrong idea." She said as she left the room to find Kurt. Jamie smirked and went back to the keyboard, changing the name from his cousin's to Amara, and changing the content so that it fit the purpose, changing his signature to that of what Bobby would put (for so he thought) and hit send. He was just glad he had read Bobby's journal entry that said what his e-mail account password was. This was going to be fun.

Rogue sat on her bed reading over the script. There was a kiss. That alone almost insured she wouldn't get the lead. She sighed, but flipped to a randome page and began to read lines out loud anyway:
"I'll look to like, if looking likeing move But no more deep will endart mine eye Than your consent gives strength to make it fly."
She smirked. "This makes absolutly no sense what-so-ever."

Rahne was walking down the hall-- or running as she had transformed herself into a wolf-- when she heard someone reciting lines, and stopped. This person wqas good. She put her ear up to the door and realized it was Rogue. This was something she absolutly had to tell Mr. McCoy. She sounded perfect for the part! Not to be bias, but she was good. Very good. Just then she saw Kitty walking down the hall. "Rahne?" She asked and Rahne turned into a human. "Hi Kitty!" She said quickly. "Listening to Rogue?" Apparently Kitty had overheard as well. "I bet she asked you to do that! That is like, so like her!" She said, and stormed into the room.

Pietro and Todd sat in the living room running lines back and forth. Todd wanted to be Romeo so bad! He knew Wanda was a good actress and sure to get the part of Juliet, so he had to be good.
"Good morrow cousin."
"Is the day so young?"
"But nnew strook nine"
"Ay me, sad hours seem long--"
Toad was cut off by Freddy walking in with big booming steps. "Wanda says not to get your hopes up. She's threatened to quit the auditions if you get the part."
"She can't do that!" Toad and Pietro said in unison.
Just then Wanda walked in. "Wanda, you can't quit!" Toad said worriedly.
She looked at him. "I never said I would."
"But Freddy said..."
Everyone looked at Freddy, who was also trying out for Romeo. He glared at him.

Remy looked at John. He was reading over the script. He probably wanted to learn the play better so he could do better with the lighting effects. But Gambit wanted to get to know the girl he had saved earlier. They had had previous encounters, but working together he thought would be great. He'd get to know her. IF it worked out that is...
John read through the script. Yep, definatly gonna be interesting. He smiled and looked at Remy, who was also reading through the script. He knew exactly what part he wanted, and why he wanted it. He knew him better than he knew.

A/N: OK, so the auditions are NEXT chapter. I promise! This was everyone getting all upset over trying to get eachother's parts. Right, votes still needed much! Oh yeah, I forgot, in this fic, Tabby went back and is living with the X-Men, and Storm and Logan didn't sign up. Right now Romy is winning by a landslide. Keep the votes coming!
