Chapter 11: Rehearsals Are Underway
Emi grinned evilly and laughed maniacally when she found out that she was the script-writer. Everyone else sweat-dropped. "O...kay..." They said as she maintained her evil grin as she typed onto a laptop. "If you've ever done anything bad to Emi, you'd better apologize and grovel, especially if you're a main or minor role. She's the all-powerful script-writer, and knowing her, she'll make people do weird things. So, beg for mercy, people, beg for mercy."
"Emi, why are you smiling like that?" Taiki asked nervously. "You know how in the movie version, Christine has to kiss Raoul, like, three times but kisses the Phantom once? I'm gonna make that change..." She began to laugh evilly and maniacally. Taiki blinked, then slapped his forehead. "Not another matchmaking plan..."

Rehearsals were underway for Middle School Class B's play, the Phantom of the Opera. Everyone had already received a copy of the script, which Emi passed out with glee. "Okay, Mikan-chan, I've tried to remove all of your kissing scenes. However, I couldn't erase the last one with the Phantom, because it's crucial to the plot. Sorry, but if Christine didn't kiss the Phantom, then he wouldn't have let them go, nee?" Taiki grinned. "This means you're being forced to kiss Hyuuga, nee?" He asked innocently, causing Sumire and Natsume to glare daggers at him. Mikan merely looked away and blushed.
"Actually, Watanabe-san, I'd prefer not to be a director. Why don't you do it? After all, it is your script." Emi blinked. "Then what are you going to do?" Hotaru got a glint in her purple eyes. Ruka twitched, having seen the glint before. "I'll cater the event." The glint grew in size. Ruka shuddered. "For a fee, of course." Emi smiled. "I wouldn't have expected less from you, Imai-chan."

"Good rehearsal, everybody! Be here tomorrow at 3 pm sharp!" Emi called, ignoring the many groans from the group of students. "And Hyuuga-san, you'd better give it your all tomorrow, or I swear, something bad's gonna happen in your sleep!" Natsume rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." She began to pack up as everyone filed out of the auditorium.
Just as she was about to leave, she spotted Taiki leaning on a pillar, waiting for her. "Hey, Jess, did anyone tell you about the Festival's Dance?" Taiki asked, somewhat nervously. "Yeah. You planning to go with someone?" Taiki blushed; but thankfully for him, Emi didn't see. "Um, yeah, about that..." He drew a deep breath, causing Emi to turn and look at him with one eyebrow raised.
"...Would you go to the dance with me?"
I just HAD to do this cliffie bit. I couldn't resist. Of course, you all already know what she's going to say, but it creates suspense, and suspense is good.
