Author's note: Ok, maybe I've been watching too much of the Abridged Series, but I decided that since they have SO many flashbacks in the series[and I forgot to mention some things I will add some.
Chapter 3: First Rehearsal [Sasuke
Sasuke couldn't believe it. First he had to do a stupid mission, and now he was the main character in this thing. This was all wasting his time. He'd rather be the one guarding, but no, he had to audition. Otherwise he'd be forced to by Kakashi.
[Flashback
"Sasuke, you know there's a part that would be perfect for you." Kakashi said smiling at him after Sakura and Naruto left.
"I'm not interested in this stupid audition." Sasuke replied angrily.
Kakashi
snickered. "You know, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but…
There is a slight possibility that your brother is the going to hear
about this and show up at the show along with the enemy, since he's
after Naruto."
"What!" Sasuke said amazed. "Than why do I
have to audition? I'd rather fight…"
"Calm down." Kakashi said. "You have to audition, because if you were to help guard, than you'd go after him instead of making the enemy think we were just actors. If you go and attack your brother, than we'd lose the cover, and the mission would be useless. The only way to insure the mission a success would be for you and Naruto to have a role in this. That way, Naruto can't get captured by your brother, and the mission won't be blown.
Besides, if you get the role I'm thinking of, you can take your frustrations out as the role, and with one song in particular, go into the crowd, and sing to your brother." Kakashi grinned.
[End of flashback
Sasuke sulked. He wanted to go after his brother, but he knew better than to make a mission fail.
"I guess I better go see who the rest of the people are." He said to himself grabbing a rice ball for his breakfast, and heading out the door with his script. He got to where the first rehearsal was to be, and found everyone gathered. They were looking at the list of the cast.
"Sasuke! Sasuke!" Sakura said out of nowhere hugging him.
"Sakura… STOP HUGGING ME!!!!" he said shoving her off.
"I get to play Mrs. Lovett!!! She's the main girl, and she and Sweeny have a couple duets together."
"Oh joy… I'm so exited." Sasuke said sarcastically walking away only to be faced with an annoyed Naruto. "What?"
"I'm playing Judge Turpin." He said, "He gets killed in the end…BY YOU!!!!!"
"Humph, I guess Kakashi's going to be the best director ever than."
"WHY YOU SASUKE!!!!!" Naruto said lunging on him, however, he just fell, because Sasuke moved out of the way and headed toward the cast list.
The list was like this…
Main:
Sweeny Todd- Sasuke Uchiha
Mrs. Lovett- Sakura Haruno
Anthony Hope- Shikamaru Nara
Judge Turpin- Naruto Uzamaki
Beadle Barnford- Shino Aburami
Toby- Konahamaro
Joanna- Ino Yamanaka
Senior Adolpho Perrelle- Kiba Inuzuka
Lucy/ Beggar Woman- Tamari
Jonas Fogg- Gaara
Other random solo:
Hinata Hyuga
Neji Hyuga
Choji Akimichi
Tenten
Rock Lee
Kongkuro
There were others on the list, but he did not recognize them.
"I guess Konahamaro is the only boy who could sing right for the role…" Naruto said from behind Sasuke.
"Well at least he doesn't sing as bad as his role model." Sasuke smirked.
"SASUKE!!!!" Naruto said lunging at him, but now Sasuke knocked him down to the ground.
"Loser." Sasuke said smirked.
Sasuke than noticed Gaara standing there staring at the list.
"I thought I told him I didn't want to sing." He said sulking.
"Join the club." Sasuke said to him walking away.
After about an hour of waiting and going over lines, Kakashi finally showed up.
"Alright, now that you know your roles, we can go through a read through. We all read our lines and skip the songs. Than later, we will start blocking the first scene." He said.
They did their read through, which took about three hours, because they kept fighting over the lines, over-acting [like Sakura, Naruto, Lee, and Ino, or under-acting [like Sasuke, Gaara, and Shikamaru. Finally, with two hours left, they finally were able to start on the first scene.
