Chapter 9: Love is in the air!
Pan slammed her locker shut and gawked at Ryanna. "WHAT?" People in the hallway gave them scared glances. Ryanna rolled her eyes at them then turned to Pan. "I saw Trunks at the mall." "And what happened?" "What else, we fought. Is there anything else I do with that boy besides acting?" Pan continues to gawk. "Ryanna you actually talked to him outside of school grounds!" "So what, so does your brother." "That's because they're friends. This means that you guys are too!" "Whoa! Time out! We are not friends, Pan!" "We are if I have any say in it."
Ryanna turned around to see not only Trunks but Goten and Kankton as well. Pan waved shyly at them. Kankton smiled at her making her go weak in the knees. Ryanna smirked at Pan but then frowned as her attention turned to Trunks. "So... Trunks what did you mean by us being friends?" "Well yesterday you said you wouldn't mind hanging out with me more often." Ryanna blushed and scowled. Pan gave her a look of surprise. "You said what?" "I didn't say anything now I believe it's time for class." Trunks grabbed her arm. "Hold on, just a minute there, babe. I want to talk to you." Ryanna glared at the nickname but didn't struggle when Trunks took her off to the side to talk. "Okay now where was this conversation we had yesterday?"
Ryanna waved him off. "That conversation was between us. No body else is to know that I consider you as a friend." "Oh so I am your friend." Ryanna rolled her eyes and was about to leave. "You know you don't have to be so shy to admit you have a friend." "I'm neither shy nor ashamed of it. I just rather keep my feeling hidden to prevent things from happening." "Prevent what things?" Ryanna froze for a moment. "From pain..." Trunks gave her a sympathetic look. Walking behind her he placed his hands on her shoulders. "I wouldn't hurt you Ryanna. I would NEVER hurt you." Ryanna turned back to him and gave him a small smile. "That's what everyone says before I get hurt." After giving in that comment Ryanna turned from him and walked to her class.
~Later that day~
All the cast members were in costumes and had scripts ready at hand. Ryanna and Pan stood next to each other by the Juliet tower chatting about this and that. Trunks kept his gaze on the two standing next to Kankton and Goten who were giving each other comments about each other's outfits. "Nice hairdoo Goten! Did you have an encounter with a lawn mower?" "Very funny, what about you Mr. Tights?" "Shut up the both of you! You're giving me a headache." Goten grinned and rubbed the back of his now baldhead. {HE! HE! I couldn't help myself ^_^} "Sorry dude, we couldn't help it." "Yeah whatever."
Trunks looks back to Ryanna who was now looking at him. When their eyes met however Ryanna turned her head again. Sighing Trunks also turned as the director came onto the stage. "Okay enough with the chitchat people. As you know our opening night is next week and I expect a smash hit with the crowd." He looks to Ryanna and smirks. Ryanna rolls her eyes. "As of now I would now like to see real everything. I want real sword fights with heat and anger, real sadness and tears, real romance and passion. Yes that means real kissing." Ryanna and Trunks Anime fell. "WHAT!" "I thought you said no kissing until opening night?" "I changed my mind. You two are adults. It won't kill you."
Goten chuckles and he and Kankton sing. "LOVE IS IN THE AIR! BABY!" Trunks growled and folded his arms. Ryanna rolled her eyes again. "Great, just great, I have to kiss the baka." "Well if you two are gonna be like that, you two are up first." Once again both Anime fell. "Do the final scene, and I want some heated emotion Ryanna. I want to see tears coming out of those eyes." "Whatever." Ryanna goes up to the crypt and lays down on the tomb. Trunks sighs and gives Ryanna a nod. He laid down and let Goten say his line.
GOTEN
Enters the tomb
Romeo! O, pale! Who else? What, Paris too?
And steep'd in blood? Ah, what an unkind hour
Is guilty of this lamentable chance!
The lady stirs.
Ryanna wakes
RYANNA
O comfortable friar! where is my lord?
I do remember well where I should be,
And there I am. Where is my Romeo?
Noise within
GOTEN
I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest
Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep:
A greater power than we can contradict
Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.
Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead;
And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee
Among a sisterhood of holy nuns:
Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;
Come, go, good Juliet,
Noise again
I dare no longer stay.
JULIET
Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.
Exit FRIAR LAURENCE
What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:
O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make die with a restorative.
Ryanna wasn't frank in her kiss. She placed her lips upon his and was unafraid to make it heavy but passionate all the same. With a slight sob she said her next line.
Thy lips are warm
.
First Watchman
[Within] Lead, boy: which way?
JULIET
Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!
Snatching Trunks' dagger
This is thy sheath;
Stabs herself
there rust, and let me die.
Falls on Trunks' body, and dies
"Ouch! Watch it Ryanna! That's my stomach." Ryanna chuckled. "Chill." "CUT! That was excellent! Both emotion and passion. Excellent work to all of you." "Don't look at me, she did all the work. I just enjoyed myself." Trunks chuckled as Ryanna slapped him on the chest and gave out a small giggle. Pan looked at the two and gave Ryanna a smirk. Ryanna rolled her eyes and sat up. Trunks sat up as well and leaned into her neck. "You're a good kisser." His voice was hushed and it made Ryanna shiver slightly. As he stood up he held out a hand for her. She took it and looked into his eyes. There was something in those eyes that always made her weak in the knees. What was this feeling she had?
"Hey you two! The romance is over for now! Leave that for opening night!" "Ha ha very funny, Goten." Letting go of Ryanna's hand Trunks gave her a small smile then joined his troop. Sighing Ryanna watched him. Whatever this feeling she had for, it had to stop. She didn't need this feeling for any boy, especially for Trunks Briefs.
Ooh la-la! Romance! Theatre! A sensuous kiss! *SIGH* *faints to the floor. * REVIEW PLEASE!
