Okay, this chapter is short since a couple scenes are short, so the backstage scenes are about as long as the actual scene. Oh, well. Enjoy!!
*Backstage*
"Will you be done anytime soon?" Christina asked, watching Emilee out of the corner of her eye.
"Course,
just get on to the next scene," the brunette replied, her fingers
running through Joey's hair that now had a silvery sheen to it.
*On
stage*
Lady Capulet/Tea walked onstage sighing, Nurse/Aki trailing close behind her. "Nurse, have you seen Juliet?" she asked.
"Just a second," Nurse/Aki replied. "Juliet! Juliet, your mother calls!"
"Yes, mother," Juliet/Jaden said, walking up in a red and white floor-length dress.
"It's about your age," Lady Capulet/Tea said. "Nurse."
"Well, Susan married at her age," Nurse/Aki said. "Why not Juliet?"
"Enough!" Lady Capulet/Tea exclaimed, holding up her hands.
"Still, why not Juliet?" Nurse/Aki asked again.
Lady Capulet/Tea sighed and turned to her daughter. "What do you think of marriage, Juliet?" she asked.
"I can only dream," Juliet/Jaden replied honestly.
"Well, think of it now," Lady Capulet/Tea said. "Younger than you are already mothers. And now Paris seeks your hand in marriage."
"Such
a man," Nurse/Aki said, swooning.
*Backstage*
"She
totally hates us right now for that line," Christina muttered,
Emilee nodding in agreement.
*On stage*
"So could you love this man?" Lady Capulet/Tea asked.
"Maybe," Juliet/Jaden replied, a light pink dusting her cheeks.
"Madam," a servingman/Seto said, walking up to Lady Capulet/Tea, "the guests are here."
"Juliet, think about Paris," she said, following the servingman/Seto offstage.
"Go,
girl," Nurse/Aki said. "Seek happy nights to happy days."
Juliet/Jaden smiled and the two walked offstage.
*Backstage*
"Didn't that look good, Em?" Christina asked, frowning when she got no answer. "Emilee?" She turned around and started glaring. The brunette in question was straddling Joey's waist in the chair, kissing him with barely a breath to spare. "Emilee!"
Emilee turned her head to look at Christina, blinking. "Come here," she ordered, pointing next to her. The brunette stood up and walked over to the redhead, a streak of the silver hairspray she'd used on Joey's hair across her cheek. "Sit." She grinned slightly as Emilee sat down cross-legged, patting the top of her head. "Good girl." Emilee whimpered slightly and looked over at Joey. Christina rolled her eyes and put the brunette's clipboard in front of her face. "Get started." She turned her attention to the cast as Emilee started writing. "Scene 4!"
