A/N- Whoop! This is the best part! I'm so excited I'm going to skip a
long drawn-out author's note AND the disclaimer! I'll put the other stuff
at the end.

Marius found himself in the middle of a busy sidewalk. The people rushing by him gaped. He understood why when he realized that he was wearing his normal black suit and gray vest. Everyone else – even the women – was wearing what seemed to be blue pants and undershirts. Wherever Marius was, he felt very out of place.
Something blue, white, and red caught Marius's eye. Across the street was a huge sign bearing a depressed child and the French flag. A large sign underneath said "Tryouts Today!" in enormous red letters.
Thinking that he had found an embassy, Marius went in.
The room was full of other people. Two men sat behind a large table writing something on a clipboard. Upon seeing Marius one called, "Your name?"
Marius was startled. "Um... Marius Pontmercy."
The man began to scribble something with the pen. "Trying... out... for... Marius. Now, what's your name?"
The other man said, with a heavy accent, "'E must want zis role very badly. See, 'e is in costume joost like ze one Andreane made."
Marius stared.
"You are here for tryouts, right?" the first man asked.
"I suppose..."
"What is your name?"
"I'm sorry, who are you fellows?"
"I'm Alain and he's Claude-Michel. Now, tell us /your/ name."
"Um... Michel," Marius answered quietly.
"Michael what?"
Marius frowned at the pen in Alain's hand. "Can I see that?"
Alain and Claude-Michel exchanged a significant look before Alain handed Marius the pen.
It was gray plastic, but what had caught Marius's eye was that it had green ink. The word "UniBall" was written in white on the side of the pen.
The first man took the pen back and said slowly, "Your first name is Michael. What is your last name?"
Marius thought of the pen. "Um... Ball."
Alain smiled. "Michael Ball, trying out for Marius. Take a seat over there, please."
Marius nodded and sat down, wondering what the purpose of his life could be.

C'est finit, my story's done! So, what did you think of that?
eponine-meliara – Nope. 'Tis up to me to decide, obviously. Hope that was as good as what you would have thought of.
Altenq- Wow! You get a cyber-UniBall-with-green-ink for most reviews in a row! I quite like your PotC bit (as much as I've read). Pintel and Ragetti need more fics just for them! Thanks for reviewing after every chapter! Glad you liked it.
tattered sparrow- You thought /that/ was interesting, wait till I randomly decide to put up my original plot line? It's rather insane, but that's what happens when you try to put a fanatic Mizzie in a Spanish class.
Sweet775- Ah, yes. Mizcago is fun... I think Cosette needs to get out more. But yeah, most of my fics are centered on Cosette... okay, two of them are. AND I'M DONE WITH BOTH!
Elyse3- Yup... I'm good at leaving you confused. I hope that cleared it up. Basically, he had to fulfill his purpose in life and committing suicide happened before he'd done... whatever. I had about two paragraphs of Marius/Cosette. I have a mushy fic I plan to put up...someday.
Disclaimer- I do not own Michael Ball, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg, Andreane Neofitou, or Marius. They all own themselves except for Marius, who belongs to Hugo. It would be sad not to own yourself, wouldn't it?
Oh, and I don't know whether Boublil and Schönberg really held tryouts for the original cast of LM, but they do now. DEAL WITH IT.
