Chapter 16
SHOWTIME
Filia rushed as she pulled on(rather difficultly) her glamourous yet tight dress. As soon as she slipped it over her head Amelia slammed the slightly ajar door open.
"Come on Miss Filia you part start's in ten minuets!"
"I know I just need help," she said turning around so Amelia could tighten it up. "That's better. Everyone behind the scense were running and jumping to get into there spots for the opening. In the back Jilias and Gravoz were in the box at the top over viewing the whole stage. Amelia placed her stool on the right upstage just at the edge. She sat down and opend a blank book. The curtains opened it was showtime.....
As the play progressed on every thing went smooth until Romoe scene with Juliette. To make a very long story short just as Romeo was going to give Juliette a good-bye kiss, all the lights went out. Some people paniked and screamed.
"Everyone remain calm, and seated. We are having a few technical difficulties. They will be ironed out as soon as possible," shouted Miss. Metaillium from the stage. All that was seen was a mini light, from a falsh light, come on then go behind the curtains. Lina ended up bumping into Gourry in all the confusion.
"Hey Lina, this is spooky isn't it."
"Ya. Really I wonder what happend?"
"A powerfailur obviously," said a voic in Lina's ear. From outside all that was heard was "FIRE BALL!" and a burst of light then a littel yelp then all was silent. Lina turend angrly around to see the burning figure of Xellos.
"You Littel....."
"Everyone attention," called Miss. Metallium as she clapped her hands."It seems that we have had a littel prank, someone went nd pulled the cord on the electicity for the lights. Lina rolled her eyes. Well that wasn't obvious." The curtain are closed so as soon as the lights come back on we will continu from were we left off. For now I want everyone to sit down were they are standing!" Her voice was strict and firm so no one objected, the only sound was the rusteling of clothes hitting the hard wood floor. Xellos Lina and Gourry all went into a littel circel.
" Hey Lina who do you think pulled the plug?"
"I don't know Gourry, mabey it was a ghost," she said sarcastically. Gourry's eyes widen.
"A G-ghost, really Lina?!"
"My my Lina you should really watch what your saying, you could end up scaring yourself," Xellos said musingly.
"Ya right." Xellos smirked then sneaked his arms around Lina's back then grabbed her shoulder very quickly. Lina let out a shrill scream....then at that moment the lights came back on. Lina was latched to Gourry, Xellos was smiling his fruitcake grin and Amelia, had run over to them finally spotting them. Lina blinked then blushed.
"Hey watch it Gourry," she said pushing him away. Gourry with his luck, tripped over a cord and took down half the back board with him. They all sweat droped. Miss. Metaillium decended the staris and rounded the corner.
"Back to your places eveyone. I only want to see Romeo and Juliette on!" Filia ran up to their teacher." Yes Miss. Ul Cpot?"
"I can't find Valgrav!"
"What do you mean can't find him?"
"Well he was there and then when the lights came back on he wasn't...."
"I have no time to look for him! You," she said pointing to Gourry." You will be Romeo's re-placement. Got it."
Gourry nodded. Lina moaned, this couldn't get any worse could it......
Meanwhile.....
In the trap door.....
The un-used costumes stirred, a hand popped out then a head. It was Valgrav. He shook he head.
"Hey where am I? I'm supposed to be on the last thing i remeber, was falling from the ladder....someone tipped it, but who?" He stood up quickly and bumped his head. Then a note floated down infront of him. He snatched it out of the air and un-foled it with ihs thumb. It read....: Have a nice fall..... Valgrav clenched the paper in his fist. on the bottom of the page was a winking face with a waggin finger."XELLOS"!
"Did anyone hear, that?" asked Amelia as she replaced her stool. Filia shook her head.
"Hear what?"
"I don't know it sounded like someone was screaming..."Amelia shrugged,"I must have been hearing things. From then on the preformance went smoothly. At the very end some people were crying. Miss Metallium was in the wings fallowing along. The curtains closed. The crowd gave thema standing ovation! After two minuets the curtains opend reavling the whole cast including Valgrav who was now dressed up as a normal town's person.
In the Private Box...
Dolphin took another keelnx from the box and blew her nose, she had used for during the whoel prefomance.
"That was so sad."
"Sappy is the word I'd used," retorted Phribozz. Grav didn't show up at all , well he wasn't in the box as far as we know. Dynast shoulder was wet form Dolphin crying on his shoulder. Chephieed and Shabringdo were both clapping, and glaring at each other the whole time, some who they managed to do that through the whole entire play.
"Well Whatever I might as well be going," said Dynast," Need a ride home?" He asked Dolphin. She nodded, and the both of them left. Phribozz just shruged.
"See you to love birds tommaro," he called back as he left the room with his fist jammed in his pocket. The two of them were two busy galring at each other to listen.
