Chapter 28-Costume Fittings
Sakura paced around nervously, waiting for Tomoyo to arrive.
"Grrrrr…..Tomoyo is never late, WHY NOW OF ALL DAYS?" Sakura said to herself angrily.
"I don't know, but if she doesn't arrive soon, we have to go on our final dress rehearsal without our costumes!" Syaoran replied.
And indeed they would. For weeks now, Tomoyo had been off making all the many costumes of the cast in "Shattered Dreams", and promised her friends and fellow cast that they wouldn't be disappointed.
All this and more was being done while doubling as a major supporting character.
Sakura sighed. This day wasn't exactly being her cup of tea.
Actually, more like this month.
She had been frazzled by the major events of turning 15, gotten back her report card from finals, started work, got her first paycheck (which she spent in seconds by taking all her friends out to dinner), worrying about school, homework, family, friends, and of course, her wonderful supportive boyfriend, but, on top of it all, she had to worry about opening night. And the following 5 performances after opening night.
That's right; the play would go for 6 performances.
Right now, it was Wednesday night, and tomorrow, on Thursday night, it would open.
It would also run on Friday night, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, Sunday morning, and Sunday late afternoon.
Following the Sunday late afternoon performance would be a cast party at Tomoyo's house, and boy, did she want it to be big. And boy, when this is Tomoyo talking, expect big. Really big.
"Sorry I'm late guys-I had to finish all the costumes!" and exhausted looking Tomoyo announced, breaking Sakura's thoughts.
"YAY!" everyone, including the director, cheered. Now they could get started with the final rehearsal!
"WOW-Tomoyo, these costumes are INCREDIBLE!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Ya, they're something alright!" Syaoran said.
"Awe, thanks you guys!" Tomoyo said, getting all teary.
"Wait, do I REALLY need 7 costumes for the show? It's only an hour!" Sakura exclaimed.
"YES, you do! If you pay careful attention to all the little footnotes in the costume maker's edition of the play, you would see that young Yuna needs 7 costumes. And you, of course, ARE Yuna!" Tomoyo replied.
"O…okay…" Sakura said, looking a little surprised.
"Now, come on! Try those suckers on to see whether or not I need to perform any alterations to the costumes!" Tomoyo said, shooing Sakura off to a changing cubicle in the dressing room.
"And you, Syaoran, only have 5 costumes, but nevertheless, you must see if they fit right as well" Tomoyo added.
"Tomoyo, your costume making stills are nothing short of impressive" Syaoran commented, examining the quality of the costumes in his hands.
"Hee, thanks. Do you like the accessories that go with them?" Tomoyo asked.
"Ya, they're great!"
"Well, don't just stand there gawking at them, go try them on already!" Tomoyo said, shooing him off as well.
She then distributed 4 costumes to Eriol, 3 each to Meilin, Rika, and Naoko, 2 to Yumi (-shudders-. I was considering kicking her out of the play, but then it would screw up the plot of the story cuz I didn't know who else to put in her place…)
After that, she handed the remaining costumes to the correct people.
As some people tried on their costumes, they realized that they were too small or too big, or didn't fit right in certain areas.
With that, she scurried about, fixing a costume here, helping someone into one there, etc.
Sakura had no problem with her costumes, as Tomoyo knew her measurements by heart; however, Syaoran was having a problem with one of his.
Tomoyo quickly rushed over to fix it.
"There, is that good now?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yea, it's fine, thanks". He answered.
"No problem" Tomoyo replied.
Basically, the whole rehearsal went on like this.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And I'm too lazy to make this chapter any longer or better, because right now I am too temperamental and sick. Later. Luve melaniemelmelgirl.
