HIYA! Sorry for taking so long to update I was finishing up a different story so yeah….. But please enjoy chapter 11 of Alchemy Crossed with a Fruits Basket.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
"Come on, Ed," Winry pleaded.
"No, that's just completely humiliating," Ed argued back at her.
"Shut up, Ed, your doing the play," Winry demanded.
"No, the auditions are tomorrow and I am not even ready," Ed said trying to use any excuse he could.
"Come on brother, it might be fun," Al tried to convince Ed to doing what Winry wanted before it turned bloody.
"No means no," Ed said and Winry's wrench made contact with Ed's head.
"P-please don't fight," Tohru said trying to stop them.
"Come on Tohru, let them settle their own problems," Kyo said.
"But, I was just trying to help," Tohru said trailing off at the end.
"Are you two auditioning?" Al asked Yuki and Kyo.
"No," Kyo immediately said.
"Maybe," Yuki said, "What about you Miss Honda?"
"Yes, I would like to try out, but I doubt I would get a part, I'm not that good at anything," Tohru said blushing.
"I'm sure you will do fine," Yuki said.
"Why aren't you trying out, Kyo?" Tohru asked.
"Plays are to damn girly," Kyo said.
"Oh," Tohru said turning her head away from Kyo.
"Miss Honda? What's wrong," Yuki asked seeing that Tohru was upset.
"Well, I just thought it would be fun to all try out together, but I see that Kyo doesn't want to, and its not right to make somebody do something they don't want to so," Tohru said really fast.
"Well I will certainly try out with you," Yuki said smiling and Tohru smiled back.
Tohru, Yuki, Al, Ed, and Winry stood outside the auditorium waiting for auditions to start.
"I'm so nervous," Tohru said looking like she was in a different world at the moment.
"You will do fine," Yuki said still pinning on his number. (Everyone else had theirs on already.)
"Is this ever going to start, this is taking forever," Ed said impatiently.
"Shut up," Winry said elbowing Ed in the side.
"Now, now," Alphonse said trying to calm the two.
Everyone in the group stared as Kyo walked up to them pinning on a number.
"I decided I would audition too," Kyo mumbled and Tohru's face light up all of her nervousness currently forgotten.
"That's great, Kyo," Tohru said excitedly.
"Okay, everyone listen up," the director said from the doorway to the auditorium. "We are ready to begin auditions. You will be called in groups of six, please be ready when your number is called. Numbers 1-6 please follow me." Then the director walked into the auditorium with six students following behind.
An hour and half passed and four groups had gone in and out and Ed and Kyo began to get impatient.
"Numbers 31-36," the director called.
"Oh, that's us," Tohru said walking towards the door and the rest of the group followed.
"Ok, if you all would stand on the stage please. We will ask you to read from this script," the director said handing them a copy of the script.
"Ok, first, Winry Rockbell, we want you to read for Belle, Kyo Sohma as the beast, Edward Elric as Lumiere, Yuki Sohma as Maurice, and Alphonse Elric as Cogsworth. Please read on page 34 and end on page 36. Begin when your ready."
"Hello? Is anyone there? Papa? " Winry said reading as Belle.
"Look, it's a girl," Ed said.
"A girl? No wait Lumiere let me handle this!" Al said.
"Hello? Is someone there? That's funny I thought I saw someone," Winry said.
"Belle?" Yuki asked.
"Papa? Papa!"
"Belle!"
"Papa, who put you in here? Hold on, I will get you out!"
"No, Belle you have to leave!"
"Who are you? You don't belong here! Leave!" Kyo snarled, attempting to be in character.
"But you have to let him go! Can't you see he is sick?"
"He is my prisoner! He will never leave here!"
"Wait!"
"What?"
"Take me instead."
"You would do that?"
"Yes," Winry said coming to the stopping place.
"Ok, good," the director said writing something down on a paper. "This time I want Winry to be the feather duster, Edward as Chip, and Tohru as Mrs. Potts. This is a shorter section pages 31, now please begin."
"Mama, there's a girl in the castle," Ed said began a little annoyed that he was assigned to play the part of a little kid.
"Now Chip, I won't have you making up stories. Now, into the tub," Tohru said trying the best she could.
"But Mama," Ed said becoming more annoyed.
"Madame! There is a girl in the castle," Winry said happily.
"See, I told you," Ed said finishing the short section.
"Great, okay, moving on. This will be a scene between Gaston and Belle, I want Tohru as Belle and Alphonse as Gaston," the director said writing more on the paper. "Turn to page 21. Ready, go."
"Hello, Belle," Alphonse said trying to adjusting into the character of Gaston.
"Why, hello Gaston," Tohru said acting the best they could.
"This is the day for dreams come true."
"What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?"
"Plenty! Here picture this: A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife massaging my feet, while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven."
"Dogs?"
"No Belle, strapping young boys, like me."
"Imagine that."
"And do you know who that little wife will be?"
"Let me think."
"You, Belle!" Alphonse finished and both he and Tohru kind of blushed at what they just read.
"Okay you all are doing great, one more and then you'll be done," the director said smiling once she was done writing more on her papers. "Okay please turn to page 54. I want Winry as Belle, Tohru as Mrs. Potts, Yuki as the Beast, Alphonse as Cogswroth and Kyo as Lumiere. Ready, make it count this time, go."
"I thought I told you to come down for dinner," Yuki yelled as best as he could.
"I'm not hungry," Winry yelled back.
"You'll come out or I'll, I'll, I'll, break the door down."
"Master, I could be wrong, but that might not be the best way to win the girl's heart," Kyo said gritting his teeth at the word master.
"Please, attempt to be a gentleman," Alphonse said, liking this character the best out of the ones he has read for.
"But she is being so difficult," Yuki said.
"Gently, gently," Tohru said.
"Will you come down to dinner?" Yuki said calmly.
"No!"
"Ah, ah, suave," Alphonse said.
"You will do me great pleasure, if you would join me for dinner."
Alphonse cleared his throat as it was written in the script.
"Please."
"No, thank you!"
"You can't stay in there forever!" Yuki yelled the best he could.
"Yes, I can!" Winry yelled.
"Fine, then starve! If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all!"
"Oh my, that didn't go well," Tohru said ending the audition.
"Wonderful, good job everyone. The cast will be listed tomorrow on the board where the information for the auditions were," the director said smiling and dismissed them.
"Come on, come on," Winry pulled Ed by the sleeve through the door. "I want to see the results before class starts!"
"Whatever, it's not like it really maters," Ed said sighing, which resulted in a wrench against his head.
"Shut up and come on," Winry demanded.
When they got to school there was a crowd around the board where the cast list was posted. Winry excitedly pushed her way to the front dragging Ed behind her and Al followed them. Kyo and Yuki stood against the wall avoiding the crowd and Tohru stood with them. She squealed when she saw what the cast was.
"Eeee! I got a part! Look Ed, you did too!" Winry squealed happily.
"Yeah, whatever," Ed said trying to stay awake. In his opinion it was way too early to be up.
"Look Al, you got a part too!" Winry continuing her burst of excitement and happiness.
"Wow, really," Al asked happily.
"Tohru!" Winry called running over to Tohru, "Have you seen the cast list?"
"No, not yet. We were waiting until the crowed died down," she replied smiling.
The crowed died down and went up to the cast list. The names they recognized were:
Beauty – Tohru Honda
Beast – Kyo Sohma
Gaston – Haru Sohma
Lumiere – Edward Elric
Cogsworth – Alphonse Elric
The Feather Duster – Winry Rockbell
Mrs. Potts – Saki Hanajima
Wardrobe – Arisa Uotani
Maurice – Yuki Sohma
Monsieur D'Arque – Kakeru Manabe
The Enchantress – Machi Kuragi
"What?" the trio said in unison with the same amount of shock.
Ok, so yeah, the auditions were based off of the few auditions I have been in and this is not a musical. (yes, yes I know its not the same but….) Thanks for reading please review, and if you have any ideas on what could happen during this story please do not be afraid to ask, I am open to new ideas, please tell me them! ^^
