Chapter 85 Preparing For The Show
Sophie's POV
The Next Day
I gathered all the students in the meeting room.
"Okay everybody", I started. "As you all know, the theme of the midterm show is an impossible love. But we still don't actually have a story for it. So I was thinking we could all come together and think of one." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Awesome!]
"Really", Misty asked excitedly.
"Really", I replied. "What do you guys got?"
"Can we do our own version of Romeo and Juliet", Dawn asked excitedly.
"Tons of people have done Romeo and Juliet Dawn", Sky pointed out. "We should do something more original." [Follow Your Heart Extra: She has a point Dawn!]
"I've got one", Gary started. "Why don't we do a guy who works at a toll booth, and everyday a cute girl comes by it."
"Good", Cora stated. "But wouldn't a toll booth be a bit too small?"
"How about a shop window", Ash suggested. "The main character can be a mannequin, and he or she can be in love with somebody who passes the shop everyday."
"How about somebody who likes to do Pokémon battles in front of the shop", Brock suggested.
"Yeah", Iris said. "The mannequin is in love with the trainer, but can't be with them because they're a mannequin!"
Everybody seemed to like this idea.
"Well", I started. "It looks like we've found a story for our show." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Yes!]
Ten Minutes Later
I was in the teacher's lounge with Will.
I just finished telling him the idea the kids came up with.
"That's a wonderful idea", he stated. "The kids really are creative."
"Yeah", I agreed before passing Will a piece of paper. "Anyway, here's a budget for the show."
"Oh my", Will said when he saw it. "I'm not sure if we have this kind of amount of many Sophie."
"Please give this a shot", I pleaded. "I'm sure we can get the money we need."
"If you say so."
Three days Later
Everybody was in the meeting room.
"Let me tell you a story", Will started. "About a mannequin. She wishes to see the outside world, but can only see it through the store window she lives in."
"Then one day, she sees a boy who comes to have Pokémon battles in the street in front of the store window", Ella added.
"She falls in love with him, and tries to be with him", I added.
"And that is the story of our midterm show", Will concluded.
Everybody then clapped.
"Okay then", I started. "Does anybody have any questions?"
"I have one", May asked with her hand up. "Do you know where the show will be held yet?"
"Not yet", I replied. "We're still trying to find funding."
One Hour Later
I was talking with Will in my office.
"I've reduced the costs as much possible", I revealed. "We still don't have enough money." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Great (note sarcasm).]
"Yes", Will agreed. "This is just such a large budget."
"Maybe we can hold a fundraiser to get money", I pointed out.
"That's a good idea", Will stated. "But do you think we'll be able to do it?"
"Look Will", I started. "I understand why you're sceptical about this, but I'm sure we can rise the money!"
"I love how passionate you are about this Sophie", Will stated. "That is why...I will do whatever I can to get the money!" [Follow Your Heart Extra: Yes!]
The Next Day
Everybody was in the meeting room.
"Alright everybody", I started. "I wanted to let you guys know that on Friday will be auditions for the show!"
"You guys have to recreate a scene from any piece of fiction you'd like", Will added. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Awesome!]
"And one more thing", I added. "We need to come up with funds for the show, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know."
The Next Day
Drew's POV
Brock and I were having lunch at my sister's restaurant.
"I had an idea", he revealed. "Maybe we can ask your sister if we can have a fundraiser here?"
"That's a great idea Brock", I praised.
Just then my sister passed our table.
"Bri", I yelled before I shot out of my seat. "The academy needs money for the midterm show. Can we have a fundraiser here?"
"Of course", Bri replied. "And tell Sophie that I can also make concessions for free so she won't have to pay for that."
I squealed before hugging Bri.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
HotXbun: Looks like the show is coming along nicely.
So here's the deal. I want you guys to tell me what scenes you would like the characters to do. It can be any scenes you guys wish.
Challenge: Tell me what scenes you guys would like to see.
My Answer: That's why I'm asking you guys.
