Disclaimer: ne, sorry for the late update...I got a little obsessed with listening to the PoT songs, haha. Well, this is supposodely the last chapter, but once again, I don't own The Prince of Tennis or any of its characters.
Drama Teacher Ch.11
Ryoma had dreaded this day since the beginning of this whole big stupid issue....the day had arrived....the most horrid day ever....the performance of Romeo and Juliet....
"Ne, Ryoma, stay still!! I can't get your costume on if you're moving!" Nanako was helping him with this costume. Ryoma had protested against Nanako helping him out, of course, since he was big enough to dress himself, but his protests were useless against his cousin. In the end, Nanako had won anyway...
"...Alright, I'm finished!!!" said Ryoma. Nanako was combing through his hair, something that Ryoma really disliked.
"Finished!!" Nanako seemed satisfied with her work. Ryoma, on the other hand, was disgusted with the costume. Why did he have to wear a stupid plastic play sword on his side? Not to mention the dorky belt and clothes....
"You're going to have to fix that attitude of yours if you're going to play Romeo, brat!" Ryoma glared at the old man.

"What are you doing!?" Nanjiroh had managed to whisk out a camera and had taken a picture of Ryoma in his costume.
"What? Can't your own father take some pictures? It's not like this happens everyday,"
Ryoma scowled. He didn't think twice before deciding to tackle his father. "Gimme!!" and Ryoma started fight for the camera.
"Hell no, brat!!! This film is for blackmail, blackmail, you hear??" yelled Nanjiroh, "That way I don't have to deal with your little cocky attitude everyday!" and the two continued to fight.
"Please stop fighting," pleaded Nanako, "Ryoma, your hair's getting messed up again!!! Can't you two just give up on the camera?"
"NO!" Ryoma and Nanjiroh yelled at the same time.
Nanako sweatdropped.
At Seigaku's Auditorium...
"Nya, Oishi, hurry up!!! We're going to be late!!!" the bouncy red head pulled at Oishi's sleeve, trying to get him to hurry up.
"Okay, okay,"
"Well, I thought that this day was going to take forever, but finally it's here!!!!" exclaimed Momoshiro.
Tezuka was also there. He hated to admit it, but he was rather curious to see how the school play would come along....especially with Echizen in it.....He originally didn't want to come, but after half an hour of persuasion by the rest of the team, he finally gave up and came along....not to mention that he had also considered the fact that Echizen was in the play...
"Ara? Fuji, what are you fiddling around with?" Tezuka asked.
"Hm? Oh, just a little something..."
Tezuka raised his eyebrow. "Exactly what are you doing?"
"This," and Fuji tapped his camera. It was full of film....all prepared to take some pictures of blackmail....
"The bucho also coming along on the school play....I-data...." mumbled Inui. Tezuka glared at Inui, who ignored it.
Taka had also came along. He seemed to be wondering what was going to happen...
As for Kaidoh, he came along, too. Like Tezuka, he hated to admit the fact that he was also pretty curious to see exactly what was going to happen in the play.....He didn't have any interest in the story of Romeo and Juliet, since it was a romance story, but the fact that Echizen and Sakuno-chan were the two main characters....now THAT was something interesting to see....
"Ara? Aren't you boys in Ryoma's tennis team?"
The tennis team turned their heads. It was Nanako, along with a strange man in a mask and his wife.
"Hai, and you are?"
"Nanako, Ryoma's cousin," answered Nanako.
"I see...and who's..." the tennis team were puzzled at the old man, who was holding a camera...
"Oh, I'm just his grandfather, haha, over here to see the boy," said Nanjirou nervously....he's got to be careful not to blow his cover...
"Hey, let's go find seats," and Momoshiro sauntered off. The rest of the tennis team followed.
Lights were turned out, and the show began.....
Romeo and Juliet...
The curtain opens...
Ryoma was sitting on a rock, along with Katchirou and Katsuro around him. Ryoma had actually played his part...even though he did have a scowl on his face...Ryoma could've sworn that he had heard cameras clicking....he guessed that most of them were from Fuji-senpai and from his stupid old man...
The play went on quite smoothly, everything went pretty well. However, when Sakuno appeared, nearly most of the tennis members (except for Tezuka) nearly had a laughing fit....they were reminded of the incident between Tezuka and Sakuno....
But that wasn't the funniest part. The best part came when the most famous quote of all thoughout the play was spoken....
"Romeo? Whereart fore thou, Romeo?" (A/N: Ok, I haven't read the book for like a long time, so....I forgot the quote...especially the spelling, so yeah....)
"Romeo" was required to climb up the ladder towards the "tower" that "Juliet" was in...Eiji and Momo nearly burst out laughing....In the end, Oishi and Kaidoh were the ones who covered their mouths....
30 minutes passed....and the part where Juliet appeared to be dead and Romeo was to stab himself....Ryoma felt pretty stupid taking the dagger and pretending to stab himself and pretending to collapse because he was dead....not to mention that he was RIGHT BESIDE Sakuno....
"I'd like to see that brat do that more often..." thought Nanjirou evilly.
The play ended in a loud applause. Class 2 of the first years bowed. Ryoma hurried off to change...
Momo's sides still hurt from laughing too much. Taka had tried helping him calm down. Inui was scribbling down the data that he saw from the play, and Fuji seemed quite happy that he had a roll of film all about the play that Echizen had to play....
Finally, Ryoma came out of the dressing room, only to come into the glomp of the redheaded upperclass freshman.
"Ochibi!!! Nya, great job up there!! Hee, and you were with Sakuno-chan!!!" teased Eiji.
"Shut up..."
"Echizen, that wasn't nice..." said Oishi.
Fuji tapped his camera playfully, "Ne, you should do this more often, Echizen," Ryoma scowled.
On the other side of the auditorium, Nanjirou was also fiddling with the camera. "Well...a roll of film full of pictures...isn't that nice? Now i'll have tons of blackmail material so that brat would be more respectful to his old man..."
Rinko looked at Nanjirou, "Dear, maybe you shouldn't be so hard on the boy..."
"Ne, auntie, it's just pictures. Besides, it's like what you said before: It's not like this happens everyday," said Nanako.
"I suppose...."
When Ryoma got home, he spent nearly 3 hours trying to get the film from the old man. When he finally did, he was exhausted. The chaos didn't stop there. He STILL had to deal with getting the film from Fuji....He was unsuccessful at that attempt though....Fuji had hid the pictures in a secret place....
So maybe the play didn't turn out as well as it should have been....After all, the one person who caused all this was really the evil drama teacher....who knows what she'll be doing next....
Author's notes: yay!! finished!!!! Lol, thanks for all the reviews before!!!
