A/N: The play 'A Backstage Romance' is an actual play. A few years ago me
and a friend had to do a scene for drama class and this was the play we did
a scene from. My friend got this play off the internet and all rights go to
the writer Lauren Friedman. If you want to read the whole play let me know
and leave your e-mail in a review and I'll e-mail the whole thing to you.

(The next day in drama class)
Getting to class just seconds before the tardy bell rang Macein hurried over to the seat he normaly sat in. Seeing the questioning look on Ashly's face, Macein gave a little shake of his head and let her know that every thing was fine and he was just running behind.
"Alright class as you know we decided to do the play 'A Backstage Romance' and that you've been working very hard during the try-outs these last few days." Mr. Sloan began class. "Well I have good news because I have here in my hand the list of who gets to play what part. Also those of you who didn't get or want a part in the play you will be the stage crew."
Once Mr. Sloan had posted the list the entire class rushed over and began to look at the list.
"Yes I got the role of Morgan E. Gordan." Ashly exclaimed. "And look Macein you got the role of Eric A. Black."
"Yeah and look I got the role of Bradley R. Tonen Jr." Phoenix jumped in. "This is so cool that the three of us got three of five lead roles."
"Hey what about you guys?" Macein asked Carver, Trent, and Marcis.
"Let's see I got the role of Mr. Dennis Renard." Carver ansered.
"And I got the role of Adam, but since he only has one line I'll be doing stage hand work mostly." Trent responded.
"Basically the same for me. I wanted to do stage hand work more then act so I took one of the roles with a speaking part but I'm never actually seen on stage." Marcis added.
"Alright people you all know your parts, now grab your scripts and we can get started with rehearsals." Mr. Sloan got the classes attention.
"Hey we should all get together later and work on remembering lines." Ashly suggested after class was over and they were all headed to their different classes.
"Sure no problem." The others all agreed.
=========
A few weeks later after sending Cassie and Macein up to bed, Janet, with a glass of wine, sat down on the couch to relax after a rough day. While sitting down she noticed that one of the kids had left some of their school work on the coffee table. Setting her glass down on the table she started to gather up the the text book and tablet, when she noticed a paper sticking out of the tablet with the title 'My Family' written acrosst the top and a red B next to the title.
Carefully picking up the paper Janet, at first glance, could see more red writting all over the paper pointing out numerous spelling and gramical errors. As Janet read the paper, tears began to form in her eyes, because she'd had no idea that Macein felt that way about her and the others. Almost as soon as she was done reading the paper Macein came down stairs looking for his english stuff.
"Oh...hey mom...uh I know I'm supposed to be in bed and all, but I uh left my english down here." Macein then noticed that Janet had tears in her eyes, but didn't see her holding his paper. "Mom every thing ok?"
"Every things fine I was just....." Janet held up Macein's paper.
"Oh yeah..um...about that I was going to show it to you today but, I guess I kind of forgot with every thing else I had to do today."
"Is this really how you feel?"
"Of course I wouldn't have written if it wasn't." The next thing Macein knew Janet was out of her seat and giving him a big hug. "Uh...mom....mom air, need air." Janet let go of him. "Um ok by your reaction I'm going to asume you liked my paper, but you're like seriously starting to like freak me here, so I'm just gonna to grab my book and then head back to bed."
Hearing the sarcastic tone in Macein's voice Janet couldn't help but smile as she watched Macein stealthfully retreat towards the stairs and then to his room.
============
The next day Janet went in search of SG-1. Walking into the commisary Janet found them sitting at their usual table eating breakfast together.
"Janet, hey pull up a chair." Daniel invited, while wearing one of those little inoccent puppy dog smiles, that Janet swore he only used on her, especially when he was in the infirmary.
"Just the people I was looking for." Janet walked over to their table.
"If it involves needles or a trip any where near the infirmary you can forget about it, the answers no." Jack stated.
"Don't worry Colonel you're safe for now. Actually I was looking for you guys because, one Macein wanted me to remind you guys about his game tomrow and two I thought you guys might like to read this paper Macein wrote for english." Janet laid the paper down on the table, and watched the reactions of the others as each of them read the paper.
"I am honored that Macein would think of me in this way." Teal'c stated.
"Yeah no kidding. I can't belive he actually thinks of me as a role model." Daniel said in a dazed tone.
"Wow." Was all Sam could get out.
"He's right though, about all of us. Hammond would do anything in his power for everyone on this base. Teal'c you are the wise and mature one of the group. Carter you are ridiculously smart and save our butts all the time. Daniel you are a very optimistic and moral person. Cassie's a great sister. And you Doc. you are a damn fine doctor with a strong will and determination. And I am just a giant kid at heart."
After finishing up breakfast Daniel and Sam went to their labs, Janet headed back to the infirmary, and Jack dragged Teal'c along with him to see what kind of entertainment they could find.
=================
The next day Janet, Cassie, SG-1, and Ashly sat in the bleachers waiting for the game to start. It was a perfect day for playing soccer. The weather was just right, not to hot and not to cold. It wasn't long before the team came jogging out on to the field and began their warm up. After streching and getting their gear checked by the ref, the team went for one last warm up jog while doing the team cheer.
"Who are we?" One of the players shouted as the team jogged around the field.
"We are the Bulldogs." The rest of the team shouted back.
"What are are?" Another player shouted.
"We are number one" Team shouted back.
"Why are we number one?" A third player shouted.
"Cause we are the best of the best."
"Why are we the best of the best?" A fourth play shouted.
"Cause we play our hardest."
"How hard is our hardest?" Asked a fifth player as the team circled up and put thier hands in the middle.
"Rough."
"Whats? that I can't hear you. I said how hard is our hardest?"
"RRRRRRRROOOOUGH!!!!" The team began barking for a bit and then broke the huddle and got set up on the field.
The tension between the two teams built as they waited for the game to start. After placing the ball and checking to see that the goalies were ready the ref. blew his whistle and the game was under way. For the first half of the game not much happened there were a few close goals, but neither team was able to score.
After a refreshing half time both teams came back on to the field ready to go. Most of the second half was similar to the first half, it wasn't intill near the end of the second half that the Bulldogs got the break they'd been looking for. After Tony had manged to steal the ball from the other team he'd passed it up to Pablo at midfield, who'd then crossed it to the other side of the field where Phoenix trapped it and dribbled it up field.
Getting trap by two midfielders Phoenix passed it over to Macein, who manged to get all the way down to the corner before being trap by a defender. Not being able to get out of the corner Macein dropped the ball back to Carver. The forwards then crashed towards the goal after Carver lobbed the ball up into the air torwards their direction.
Being the closest person to where the ball landed, but not in a good enough position to get complete control of the ball, Macein was forced to slide and hope he could get a foot on the ball before the goalie grabbed it. And luck just happened to be on his side that day because Macein got enough of his foot on the ball to knock it into the goal.
Seeing the ball go into the goal, the stands exploded with cheering fans, along with cheering players. Getting up off the ground Macein gave the other team's goalie a hand getting up as well. Hurrying back to their places the players waited for the game to restart. For the last fifteen of the game the other team put up a good fight coming close to scoring of few times, but just comeing up short each time.
After shaking hands with the other team and the refs the guys began to celebrate their victory. Once they were all done getting changed Macein along with his friends and family went out for a victory dinner.
