((Now the trouble begins....))
Chapter 12: I want to be your Canary
Dagger stood backstage in her costume. Tonight was the night. I now have to perform in front of the entire camp...Eiko stood behind her seeming just as nervous.
"Why are you nervous? I'm the one performing..." Dagger asked her.
"I just hope nothing goes wrong...that's all...."
"What could possibly go wrong?" Dagger smiled. She was glad Eiko was behind her in this.
"Nothing...Nothing at all!" Eiko answered cheerfully. A bit too cheerfully......Dagger smiled once again to Eiko.
"Well....wish me luck!" Dagger shouted as she went to the stage for her first scene. Eiko watched her.
"You're going to need it...." She shut her eyes tightly.

Zidane was thrilled. The play was going so well...And now for the part everyone had been waiting for. The turning point in the play...This was something Zidane had been looking foreward to. Blank walks onto the stage dressed as King Leo.
"Tonight, I shall finally see my daughter Cornelia betroth'd to Prince Schneider! And then Prince Schneider and his kingdom will be mine!" King Leo laughed. Two other campers entered with Zidane between them holding him by the arms.
"Your Majesty!"
"We have caught an intruder!" King Leo looked to the prisoner and laughed.
"Why, My poor Marcus! Hark, lad. No matter how much thou dost treasure Cornelia, no matter how deeply she might believe she doth love thee, never shall I see her marry a peasant such as thee!" A bell rings from offstage. "When the bell strikes three, Under the axe thou shall be!" The bell rings again. "Furthermore!" The bell rings again. At that point, Cornelia, played by Dagger, enters the stage.
"Oh Marcus!" She runs to Zidane hugging him. "I missed you so!" Vivi stepped out from behind a prop.
"See, King Leo? Thou shouldst give them thy blessing!" Vivi shouted nervously. King Leo looks to the group.
"Never leave his side, thou sayest? Foolish banter! I'll not allow it! Cornelia shall marry none other than this man - Prince Schneider! Pray, sweet daughter, come home to the castle with me?"
Dagger shook her head. "Nay, Father! I shan't return!"
"Cornelia... Trouble me no more. This wedding is for thine own welfare. Be mindful of that!" King Leo answered in a low tone. Zidane leapt foreward.
"Not if I can help it! Now is my moment of vengeance! For my parents, and for my love, Cornelia! I shall cut thee down!" Zidane Charged at King Leo.
"No!" Dagger shouted and ran in front of Zidane. She got stabbed
"Cornelia!"
"Marcus...forgive me. I still love....my..." Dagger never got to finish her sentence. A figure ran out from behind the stage and pushed her aside as a bucket of sticky liquid fell from the rafters where Dagger had been laying. Eiko was now covered in the substance. "Eiko! How did you...?"
"Dagger....I'm sorry....I'm sorry....." Eiko bent her head and began to cry...sticky substances now dripping from her hair. Zidane glared at Eiko. As did Dagger. Together, they walked off the stage. The play, was officially ruined.
((Poor Eiko...will she ever redeem herself? Will she ever be accepted back into the fold? Will she ever get that crap out of her hair?!))
