Yay! I'm free for Christmas break! Which means…more time to work on my fics! Now, the second chapter of Do You Hear What I Hear is now underway! What will happen as Kairi prepares everyone for the rehearsals for her play? Read onward and find out!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story, the plot, and my OC. Thank you.
"Alright, people!" Kairi yelled to the working cast and crew of her play. "Gather round!" They all gathered around her, staring at her with envious eyes.
"Where's the free food?" Joey yelled, breaking the silence. Sighing, Kairi shook her head at the stupidity.
"Now, I want to tell you what this play is about," Kairi explained, ignoring Joey's remark. "It basically tells of what happened when Jesus was born. A bright and shining star shone in the sky, appearing over the stable, which was where the babe was born. Shepherds saw the star in the sky, and went to go and see the newborn king. There's a song that tells of the miracle of Jesus' birth." She walked over to the stereo, and pressed play on the tape player. A song filled the room, filling it with its words.
"This song is called, 'Do You Hear What I Hear'," Kairi explained. "That's why there are only four parts of the cast. The night wind, the lamb, the shepherd boy, and the king. Those parts will be like this: the night wind will be played by Joey, the lamb will be Mokuba, the shepherd boy will be Yugi, and the king will be the Pharaoh of course. Your costumes are inside the box. Oh, and I forgot the narrator will be Bakura."
"Bakura?" Joey yelled, clasping his head. "Why him? He's evil!"
"Nope," Kairi whispered, grinning. "I've come up with a plan to keep him occupied. I've hidden the Millennium Ring from him, so that he will follow my orders, and not send anyone to the Shadow Realm."
"That's an excellent plan, Kairi," Yami remarked. Smiling, Kairi walked over to the box, pulled out the costumes, and handed them to the appropriate people. Yugi's costume was a ragged peasant uniform, complete with a cane. Joey's costume had silver ribbons flowing from a white jumpsuit, along with a sliver ring on the back. Mokuba's costume was a lamb outfit, with hooves. Yami's costume was his ancient Egyptian clothing, received from Ishizu.
"Okay, people, let's get this over with!" Kairi shouted, the crew dispersing. The cast went to go change into their costumes. When they came out, Joey snatched Yugi's cane, and began to speak in an elderly voice.
"Back in my day," he muttered. "We didn't have that high-tech stuff. We had record players, and we liked it!"
"Boys," Tea and Kairi muttered, rolling their eyes. Tea ran off to get a instrumental version of the song, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Kairi, with help from Rebecca Hawkins, hooked Joey up, with the ring and a hook. He didn't like it at all.
"Hey, get me down!" he yelped, flailing his arms franticly.
"Joey, stop being so ignorant," Kairi joked.
"I'm not ignorant, just scared," Joey shot back. Bakura, who was backstage, was laughing so hard, that he nearly died. Kairi slapped her forehead in embarrassment.
"I just hope that tomorrow night will go well," she whispered, Tristan and Rebecca trying to get the sobbing Joey down.
Will the opening night go well, or will it end in chaos? Find out in chapter 3, The Big Night.
