Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters expect Marissa. Also this kissing thing between Jake and Marissa, this was how my first kiss was, just to let you know. I got two dozen roses on opening night from my boyfriend that was in a play with me, and my first kiss. Although it isn't Marissa's first kiss, it still fit.
Marissa, Jake, Jinx, Kevin, and Chia went through the rest of the day as normal, and for once all of them got to ride the bus home instead of having play practice. The performance that night was at seven o'clock and the cast had to be there at six.
Marissa quickly ate her dinner and called up Jake for a ride. Jake teleported to Marissa's house and then he teleported Marissa to the school. Marissa had told herself she needed to talk to Jake, but she didn't gain the courage too, at least yet anyways.
As everyone was getting into their costumes Jinx went over to talk to Marissa. She was making sure that the plan was still in action, and it was. Marissa felt the butterflies flying in her stomach, she was a little nervous. Marissa was used to being on stage, but with everything that had been going on in her life lately it just seemed to weird to still perform without getting nervous.
"Jake!" Marissa called as she saw him getting out of the men's dressing room.
"Hey Marissa, what is it?" Jake said as he walked over to her.
"I want to talk about what happened last night," Marissa said.
"Same here," Jake said. "What was that?"
"I have no idea, it just came out of my mouth," Marissa said.
"But did you mean it?" Jake asked getting closer to her.
Marissa paused. "Yes, I did."
"Well, that's a relief," Jake said.
"What, why?"
"Because these would have gone to waste," Jake said as he pulled two dozen roses from behind his back and gave them to her.
"Jake, thank you!" Marissa exclaimed.
"But that's not all," Jake said.
"What else is there?" Marissa asked.
"This," Jake said, kissing her. Marissa was speechless. "Now it's time to get on stage!" Jake said as Marissa went into the girls dressing room to put away her roses.
"Who are those from?" Jinx asked.
"Jake," Marissa said dreamily as she walked out of the dressing room to the stage wing.
"He gave you two dozen roses?" Jinx asked, amazed just as Marissa was.
"And a kiss," Marissa said as she grabbed her props for the fist scene.
Marissa heard Jake singing and got ready to go on stage. As Marissa got on stage the plan began. She looked over to Lanta, as scripted and Lanta didn't know of Marissa's plan. But Lanta was ready to take out her plan, as soon as Marissa said her last line of the scene.
