Chapter 13: Accident?

"It was really nice of your friend to not charge us for making the costumes." Steven said as Lavanya looked in the mirror at her costume.

"You look quite ravishing, Lala." Kevin said flirtatiously then both Lavanya and Steven groaned in disgust.

"Yeah, you look really beautiful." Sour Cream commented smiling.

"Beauty is power, a smile is its sword." Jamie quoted while doing a pose.

"Oh, cut it out you two. You're making me blush." Lavanya said as she covered her face then Kevin's eye twitched a bit.
How is it that when I give a compliment I get the cold shoulder, however with those yahoos she just accepts it and even blushes?! He thought as he glared at Jamie and Sour Cream then an idea came to him and he grinned evilly.

"What do you think I should get Kuro guys for helping us out?" Lavanya asked as she was looking at something online. She, Steven, and Jamie were having a snack break after they and everyone were done with rehearsal.

"Knowing your friend, she would probably say that you don't have to get her a gift."

"But I want to. After all she did all the costumes in such a short amount of time." Lavanya said then while she was looking on her phone, Steven peeked and gasped with amaze.
"Those are so cute~!" He squealed then Lavanya smiled.
"Aren't they? This is my favorite store to shop."

"Look at all the cute cats…" Steven whispered his eyes sparkling.

"The Meowchi are my favorite since my parents and I can't have cats."

"How come? Does your home not allow cats?" Steven asked curiously.

"No, it's because… Me and my parents are allergic to cats…"

"Oh, I'm sorry…" Steven said then Lavanya smiled.
"It's okay, Steven. You didn't know. But when I see funny photos and cute videos of cats I feel sad because it's so unfair to be allergic to them." Lavanya said then she started texting Kuro asking what she would like for a thank you gift.

"You don't have to give me a gift silly. Just think of this as my gift for not always being there." Kuro's text message said then Lavanya sighed.
"Maybe I can give her a gift of some snacks…"

"That reminds me, Lavanya do you plan on inviting your parents to see the play?" Jamie asked then Lavanya blinked and began to think.
"I dunno…"

"I think you should. They can come to Beach City and see all the wonderful cool places this place has!" Steven said then Lavanya giggled.
"Well, I guess I don't mind."

"I also told Kuro guys they can come as well." Jamie said then Lavanya smiled.
"Thanks, Jamie. I just hope the play goes smoothly." She prayed then Steven stood up.
"Not to worry, Lavanya! I promise that this play will run smoothly and nothing bad shall ever happen!"

"Thank you, Steven for being such an amazing director."

As Lavanya headed home when she opened the door she saw Kevin and Sour Cream glaring at each other ready to have a fist fight.

"What's going on here?!"

"I'm trying to get Kevin to leave your home and go somewhere else!" Sour Cream said then Kevin laughed.
"Don't you think that's what Lala's been trying to do? Besides, I ain't going anywhere. Not till this play is over and Lala comes back home with me back to Empire City."

"First off, her name is Lavanya! And second, she's never gonna go back home with a jerk like you!" Sour Cream said then as both boys growled at each other, Lavanya got in between the two.
"Stop it!" She said trying to stop the fight. She then grabbed Sour Cream's hand and took him to her room and locked the door. Once she locked the door Sour Cream groaned.
"Sorry for loosing my cool like that Lavanya..."

"It's quite alright. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to make a phone call." Lavanya said then Momo handed the blond hair girl her cellphone. She dialed a number and heard the line ringing. Sour Cream would leave to let her talk privately but with Kevin outside he'd make a commotion. He pretended to try and not hear much as the platinum blond played with Momo.

"Hi, mom. Yeah... It's been a while. No, everything's fine. Yes, I got your cookies, thank you for making them. Listen, mom. Do... You and dad wanna come to Beach City and see a play me and my friends are performing...? It's in three days. You will? Okay, I'll let the director know you and dad are coming. Love you too, mom. Tell dad I said hi and give him a kiss for me too." Lavanya said then she hung up her phone.

"You're parents are coming to see you perform?"

"Yeah. My parents are really nice and understanding..." Lavanya said as she laid on the bed and Sour Cream looked at her.

"I just hope this play will be great... I want my mom and dad to be proud of me."

"But Lav, didn't you just say that your parents are nice and understanding?" Sour Cream asked then Lavanya looked at him.

"Your parents love you no matter if you succeed or fail. They love you because they know you tried your best." Sour Cream said then Lavanya chuckled.
"When did you get so wise?"

"Probably something I caught from Jamie." Sour Cream answered then Lavanya laughed. When Kevin heard everything from behind the door his face went pale and he started to shake a bit.

Her parents are coming?! This is bad... Th-They don't know that Lavanya and I broke up... If she tells them what happened they'll possibly file a restraining order! I have to do something! The play! If there's no play that means Lavanya's parents won't come!

The next day when Lavanya and Sour Cream came to the theater, they both gasped at what they saw.

"Jamie! Jamie are you okay?!" Lavanya asked as Sour Cream helped up Jamie who was lying on the floor holding his leg and right beside him was a sandbag.

"My... My leg's broken..."

"What?!" Both Lavanya and Sour Cream said in shocked. Back stage Kevin grinned evilly as he placed the scissors on the side and walked away.
No lead actor, no show... And no show means no parents... Sorry, baby but I don't plan on letting you rat me out. He thought.
