((Author's Notes: The 'Crawler returns! I know I've been gone much too long, but now I return to set and ending to this story, which I just recently discovered is.. Actually pretty good. I finally feel very confident in my writing. Anyway, like I've said before, non - JAT, and it's a love triangle, which I have now dubbed Kuttyance. Please Enjoy!))
The Bayville High Drama Club Presents… Romeo & Juliet
By N I G H T C R A W L E R
By the time it was 3:00, Kurt was so nervous he didn't even know if he wanted to go through with the whole audition thing. His stomach was doing triple flips, and his furry palms were so sweaty he had to go to the bathroom and wipe them off twice. He was waiting for Kitty outside the auditorium, where they'd said they'd meet.
After seeing both Rogue and Jean enter, and Jason not too long afterward, he was getting pretty worried. Had she forgotten about the announcement? Had she decided that she shouldn't be Juliet? He started to pace.
If Kitty had decided not to be Juliet in the play, then, if he were to get the part of Romeo, he would have to play beside.. Mia. And if Mia hadn't gotten the part the only other option would be.. Toad. Kurt almost gagged. "I'd have to kiss that.. That.. abscheulich das biest!"
"Who's a 'abscheulich das biest', Kurt?" He spun to see Kitty, and his heart lightened a bit. She looked like she'd rushed to get there. Her bag was hanging off of her shoulder, and her books were looking like they were about to fall to the floor. Even her usually perfect ponytail was a mess.
He rushed over and took her books from her, not wanting them all to fall. They were already late. "I was talking about.. Someone else. Katzchen, you look a mess!" Being relieved from the burden of the books she was able to fix her bag and her ponytail before they both entered.
The stage was already full of people. Mia was scowling. Obviously, she'd not gotten the part of Juliet like she'd wanted, but the part of the nurse. Lance was still seated in the audience. Toad was even onstage, apparently taking the role of Mercutio. Pietro had snagged the role of Tybalt, with none other than Scott Summers as his understudy.
"It's about tahm ya got here!" Rogue stomped from the stage. She was looking down on them, and Jean and Jason turned in their seats. Both smiled, then turned back to the stage. "Well, now that all the people who auditioned ahre here.. Jean."
Jean nodded and walked onto the stage. Lance smirked from his seat. Jean had her clipboard in front of her, and she smiled. "The role for Juliet is going to be filled by Kitty Pryde." She flashed a smile over at Kitty, who began jumping up in the aid excitedly. She grabbed Kurt around his neck and hugged him tightly.
"And for the role of Romeo," Jean frowned, and puckered with a sour face. She turned and looked to Jason, her eyebrows cocked, and then, read out the name. "Lance Alvers, with Kurt Wagner as his understudy…?"
Lance rose from his seat triumphantly and ran up the stairs to the stage, where Toad and Pietro smiled approvingly to them. Jean, of course, picked up what they were thinking.
'Way to go, Lancey-Boy. That was too easy for us!' Pietro looked over to Jean, who was staring straight at him, but then she turned.
"Our first rehearsal will be tomorrow. Please go home and review your scripts, everyone." Jean took off down the stage, and then rushed over to Jason. "Jason! There must be some mistake! How did Lance become our Romeo?!"
Jason looked up to Jean strangely. "What do you mean? I picked Lance to be our Romeo right after he tried out, remember? I thought he was really good yesterday. Besides, if something happens, we still have Kurt, right?" Jason stood and was collecting his books.
Jean looked a little frustrated, but stuffed her things away and walked to the back of the auditorium, where Kitty was comforting Kurt about not getting the part.
"Look on the bright side, Kurt. If Lance like, gets sick, then you can still be Romeo." Kurt's expression didn't change. "Maybe we should, like, go home, huh?" She looked over to Scott, who immediately ran over. He looked as worried as the rest of them.
Kurt picked up Kitty's books and sulked out the door. Kitty turned to Jean. "Isn't there something we can do? I mean, Jean, you are one of the directors, aren't you?" Rogue soon joined them, and they all moved out of the building to the car. Kurt was nowhere to be seen.
"Kurt probably ported home." Scott said as they got in the car. He sat in the drivers seat and cranked it up, and began driving it to the Xavier Institute.
The whole ride Jean kept her eyes to the dashboard, and Scott finally noticed. "Jean, is something on your mind?" She looked up to him with a worried look, and his eyebrows arched. She obviously knew something the rest of the them didn't. He turned his eyes back to the road, but said quietly. "You know you can tell us, Jean."
She sighed, and opened her mouth to speak. "I think Lance fixed his position as Romeo." She told them all about the strange waves she picked up from Pietro and Toad, and that Jason had said he'd picked Lance, but she wasn't sure whether his mind was being manipulated or not.
"That slime!" Scott growled, as he turned a corner. "I can't believe he'd do something like this! We'll see what the Professor has to say about this…"
Jason walked past the lockers near the auditorium, and walked into the deserted office. He peeked his head around the principal's office. "Helloooo? Anyone here?" Seeing the coast was clear, he stepped in, and then sat on the desk. He looked around, and then noticed a few figures at the door. "Come on in."
Lance opened the door and he, Pietro, Toad and the Blob stepped in. "Very well done, you four." Jason said, in a more feminine voice. Within seconds, his body had morphed into that of Mystique.
"What now, Mystique? Do we just carry out the plans as always?" Pietro questioned, his voice still as rushed as usual.
"Of course we are. I'm Romeo." Lance sat down in the corner of the room. "But now, for our game plan."
