Overly Dramatic
Chapter Four: Romeo and Juliet Rehearsal Part 1
Author's Note: Beware of a double take in this chapter! There is also a yaoi scene
(for those of you who like the Shigure x Ayame pairing). That is all.
Everyone was in the auditorium up stage props and getting ready to rehearse for the big night.
Hiro: Why'd I have to be in the stupid play?
Kisa: Hiro-kun, it's not stupid. At least, onee-san doesn't think so.
Hiro: God, it always onee-san this, onee-san that! Is that all you think about?
Kisa runs away crying.
Hiro: Kisa...
Ayame/Juliet: Serves you right! You shouldn't go around picking on beautiful girls like that. You should learn better manners, young man.
Hiro: Who asked you? NO ONE! SO SHUT UP! You're the one who's gotten me into this mess in the first place!
Shigure/Romeo: How many times do I have to say this to you, Hiro-kun? Respect your elders!
Ayame/Juliet: My, do you look handsome, Gure-san. Do you like the costume I made you?
Hiro walks away: I'm outta here.
Oblivious to Hiro who was walking away, they began flirting.
Ayame/Juliet: Gure-san, doesn't this remind you of what we did before we graduated high school? Walking closer towards Shigure
Shigure/Romeo: Yeah, when we both lost our virginity and became men. Walking closer towards Ayame
They ran into each others arms and started making out. As Shigure felt through Ayame's hair, he made him fall backwards. They rolled on the floor, still making out.
CUT! Those two aren't supposed to roll all over the floor! MAKE-OUT SCENE! TAKE TWO!
Oblivious to Hiro walking away, they continued flirting.
Ayame/Juliet: Gure-san, doesn't this remind you of what we did before we graduated high school? Walking closer towards Shigure
Shigure/Romeo: Yeah, when we both lost our virginity and became men. Walking closer towards Ayame
Ayame/Juliet: Oh Gure-san.
Shigure/Romeo: Oh Aya-san.
They were in each other's arms. Shigure was feeling though Ayame's hair. Their lips that were inches away were getting closer...
Kyou/Mercutio: I'll kill you both if you don't stop doing that!
Shigure and Ayame both looked to Kyou. As always, they seemed amused as the easily aggravated orange-haired teenager stands there in their presence.
Shigure/Romeo: What can we do for you, Kyou-Kyou-kun?
Kyou/Mercutio: Don't call me that and listen to me, you perverted dog!
Shigure/Romeo mock sadness: Why, oh why do they disrespect me, Aya? Where did I go wrong? Puts face into his hands
Ayame/Juliet pats Shigure gently on the back: There, there, Gure-san. Someday, Tohru-kun might be able to bridge the gap between you and your disrespectful cousins. Glares at Kyou You should be ashamed of yourself! Gure-san simply wanted to help you!
Kyou/Mercutio: Look, I hate you both for putting me into this mess! All I want to know is why do I need a sword when I can defeat the damn rat with my bare hands?
Ayame/Juliet: For your information, Kyou-kichi, Mercutio doesn't defeat Tybalt! Romeo does! The swords are simply just for acting.
Kyou/Mercutio: Why is it that the damn rat always wins? If this was my story, I would be the winner!
Ayame/Juliet: Well, not in this story. Now get over it!
Kyou/Mercutio: Damn you! Storms away
Shigure/Romeo: Whew! Thanks Aya. I thought he'd never leave us alone. He's worse than Ha-san.
Hatori/Friar: I heard that! I don't know why you signed me up for this!
Ayame/Juliet: Tori-san, not you too!
Hatori/Friar: Of course, I hated being a part of it. Look around you, Ayame! Do you see one single person wanting to thank you? Motioning to the rest of the Soumas setting up stage props while complaining at the same time
Ayame/Juliet: Well, what about Kisa?
Hatori/Friar: Kisa's in the dressing room crying right now. She's not really on stage.
Ayame/Juliet: Kisa would've thanked me if Hiro didn't make her cry. Now I won't get a chance to see how much she appreciated it.
Ritsu/Maid: Don't worry, Ayame-san! I simply want to thank you for letting me be in your play! I really appreciate it!
Hatori, Shigure and Ayame all looked to Ritsu, who was ecstatic.
Hatori/Friar: What's he doing here?
Ayame/Juliet sweat drops and smiles: Well, it's a long story actually. His kaasan begged me to put Ritsu in the play. I told her that there were already enough people playing roles. Then she started apologizing, saying that she was sorry that Ritsu wasn't talented enough to be around us, all while chasing me and throwing glasses and any other dishware that she could get her hands on at me! Now I know how badly you felt when Akito-sama threw that vase at you, Tori-san!
Hatori/Friar: I don't want to talk about it! Please continue.
Ayame/Juliet: So anyway. All while I was running, I thought since you were in the play, you can erase the audience's memories if he messes up. So I finally agreed to tell her that Ritsu's in the play. She finally stopped her apologizing rampage as I winked at her. It was terrible, Gure-san! I thought I wouldn't get out of that house alive!
Shigure/Romeo: Aya-san...You should've told me while you were signing Ri-chan up.
Ayame/Juliet: Gure-san...I couldn't tell you about it then. I wanted to forget about it and raising his one hand up and placing another one over his heart like a boy scout vow never again to visit that place even if she kindly asks.
Shigure/Romeo: So what're you going to do if she asked you to come see her next time?
Ayame/Juliet: I'll send Tori-san to meet her instead! Maybe he can erase me from her memories.
Ayame and Shigure gave each other thumbs up while Hatori pretended that he didn't just hear that. Then Hatori looked at Ritsu who was shocked at what he just heard.
Hatori/Friar: What?
Ritsu/Maid: GOMEN NASAI! I'm sorry kaasan forced you to include me in your play! I should've realized that I was a burden and I don't deserve to be here!
Shigure/Romeo: Ri-chan...
Ritsu/Maid: I know I shouldn't have showed my presence around here, since you guys will talk badly about kaasan! I'm the reason she's acting crazy! Go ahead and punish me! PUNISH ME!
Shigure/Romeo putting his hand over Ritsu's mouth: Ri-chan! Stop apologizing! Aya-san's just a little freaked out! He has never had a close encounter with your kaasan before so he wasn't exactly sure what would set her off. And now he lived to tell about it. She didn't really mean it; she only wants what's best for you.
Ayame/Juliet: You see, I didn't mean what I said. It's Tori-san's fault for asking me in the first place. I'm really glad you have found it in your heart to thank me, since the others haven't.
Shigure took his hand off of Ritsu's mouth.
Ritsu/Maid: Really?
Shigure&Ayame: Sure!
Hatori/Friar thinking: Whatever.
