yayness! more reviews! how delicious...
>.> yes, delicious
Silver Ripper: >.> i mean to say "anyways". and about zelda's anger, you aint seen nothin yet. and what characters did i miss? just to let you know, this story is focussing on zelda and link only, with marth, roy, peach, and samus as supporting characters. the rest are just there, with a few exceptions. there is no: Dr. Mario, or Mr. Game and Watch. I'm also thinking about excluding: Young Link, Kirby, Ness, Pikachu, Pichu, and all the other little kids.
Snowyflakes: grr... lazy... procrastinator... grr... o well, thanks for the review :) . and yeah, marth will. interesting about ur friend...
Sage of Downtown Hyrule: yay, thanks!
ok then, chapter 5!
Chapter Five: Oh, the Drama!
Link slowly dragged himself to the drama room. He was in no mood to practice his scene with Mario either.
"Link, you're not still sore about screwing up at yesterday's audition, are you?"
Ugh. Stupid Roy… of course I am. Link stepped into the drama room, and sat in his usual folding chair. He looked up when he heard an infuriated scream and saw Zelda tromp into the drama room, very red in the face. Link thought he might try and cheer the princess up. He got up and walked towards her.
"Um… hey Zelda."
"Oh, hi." She managed to smile.
"Uh, I know it's not any of my business, but… what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just a bad science class."
"I see…"
Just then, Marth walked in. "Ooh, Zelda. Don't forget your detention."
"MARTH, GO TO HELL"
"Don't get mad here too. You might get another detention." Marth giggled.
"MARTH. SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP!"
"Marth, fuck off." Both Zelda and Marth turned to look at Link, who himself was just as surprised as they were.
"Wh…what did you just say to me?"
"You heard what I said." Link said, trying to be brave, "Stop picking on Zelda. You're being an ass."
Marth's face scrunched up in a scowl and he glowered at Link murderously. Thankfully, their drama teacher just entered the room, forcing Marth to merely mouth a threat to Link and pound his fist into his other hand.
As usual, Link's drama teacher was completely oblivious to her squabbling students. Instead, wearing a broad smile, she called the class to gather around her again.
"First off, I'd like to thank all those who came out to audition yesterday." She said, "There were some very impressive performances, and I've already started casting some roles!"
Link sighed, as he was sure he wasn't one of those people.
"The complete cast should be decided by the end of the week! Now, for today's class, you will be continuing to practice your two-person scenes. You present next Monday, so it's a good idea to start on your blocking. Get to work!"
All the students got into their pairs and started rehearsing. In the scene Link and Mario wrote, Link is a detective who is trying to find the culprit behind the robbery of his shoelace. Mario plays his shady sidekick, who incidentally is also the culprit. For lack of creativity, they stole the names of Sherlock Holmes and Watson.
"I say Watson. I do believe there is an absence of shoelace on my shoe"
"It would seem that way."
"Then there is another mystery afoot!"
"Haha. A very good pun."
"Pun? I'll tell you now Watson that there was no pun; and if there was a pun, it was not a very good one."
"It would seem I am wrong again. How do you do it Sherlock?"
"Elementary my dear Watson!"
Link and Mario laughed.
"That's a pretty funny script we wrote." Link said.
"Yes, it is-a"
Link completely forgot he was in a bad mood as he rehearsed with Mario. Elsewhere in the class, Zelda and Marth were working on their scene, in which they played a two teen lovers breaking up. Zelda found this rather easy, for she was already in a towering rage with Marth.
"YOU KNOW WHAT?" Zelda screamed, "I'VE HAD IT!" She pushed Marth in the chest, perhaps just a little harder than they rehearsed.
"But babe…"
"DON'T 'BUT BABE' ME! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR PHILANDERING ANTICS! I THOUGHT I MEANT SOMETHING TO YOU!"
"Zelda," Marth said in an undertone, "You don't have to yell so loud." Marth shifted uneasily as others started watching them.
"I'LL YELL AS LOUD AS I FUCKING WANT YOU GOOD-FOR-NOTHING CREEP!" Zelda pushed Marth again, this time with such force that he toppled into a stack of chairs. "YOU'RE ALWAYS ACTING LIKE I'M NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, AND THAT I NEED YOU TO TELL ME EVERYTHING!
"H-hey! That's not in the scr--" Marth tried to squeak in protest of Zelda's screaming, but he was cut off.
"SO WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS IN SCIENCE CLASS? SCIENCE IS FOR NERDS ANYWAYS! AND I CERTAINLY DON'T NEED YOU TO REMIND ME OF ALL MY DETENTIONS EITHER! UNLIKE YOU, I HAVE A MEMORY SPAN GREATER THAN A GOLDFISH THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
By now, everyone in the class was staring at the two, and Marth was hiding his face in embarrassment.
"AND STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND! THE LAST THING I NEED IS A STALKER! GET A FUCKING LIFE!"
"MARVELLOUS!" Zelda whipped around and saw her teacher clapping. "OH! SUCH EXPRESSION! SUCH EMOTION! I CAN ALMOST FEEL YOUR PAIN! THE WAY YOU ACT IS SO BELIEVABLE! IT'S ALMOST AS IF YOU TWO WERE ACTUALLY FIGHTING!" The rest of the class joined in applause.
Zelda was completely bewildered. She took a moment to recoup from screaming at Marth so much.
She thought I was acting? Hmm… maybe I'm better than I thought. Zelda smirked.
"I can't wait to see that on Monday!" The teacher said.
"Heh heh, you wont be disappointed." Zelda said.
Marth gulped in shear terror.
---
Link didn't know if he'd ever had a better in a drama class. Seeing Zelda go at Marth like that was definitely satisfying. The bell rang, and Link was in a considerably better mood than when the class had started. Before he could leave though, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Oh no. Link prayed to the goddesses it wasn't Marth seeking revenge. Link turned around, and was immensely relieved to see it was only his drama teacher.
"Can I see you in my office?" She said.
"Sure." Link said, curious to know what she wanted. He followed her to her office, and saw Zelda was there too.
"I want to talk to you two about your audition yesterday." She said, "I know it didn't go as well as you would have hoped."
"We can thank Marth for that." Zelda said bitterly.
"Still, I think you two have some great acting talent. I'd like you two to audition again today after school."
Link's jaw dropped in utter surprise. "You… you mean it?"
"Yes. Just a private one, so we don't have any other… disturbances."
Link was ecstatic. "Oh thank you!"
"Oh yes! Thank you for the second chance!" Zelda said.
"Well, Link, you are top of the class; and Zelda, after that extraordinary performance today… yes, I think you two deserve another shot."
"Thank you very much." Zelda said, "We wont disappoint you!" She and Link left the drama room, both delighted that they got a second chance to get into the play. They walked to the cafeteria together. Zelda got her usual salad and Link had brought a sandwich from home. They sat together at the end of one of the tables, and started talking about the play and other things.
"Wouldn't be exciting if we actually go into the play?" Zelda said.
"Yeah, it would be." Link said. "I wonder what it's like to be onstage, in front of a real audience?"
"It sounds fun! People actually paying to see us perform!"
"And then we get to wear all these cool costumes."
"Ooh yes! I hope we nail this audition today!"
"Yeah! We should rehearse after we're done eating!"
"Okay!"
Link and Zelda were very excited, and after they finished lunch, they found an empty hallway to practice their lines.
