Chapter Two
Written by: Chocolatechiplague

Please Enjoy the second chapter of Legally Nave!

The scowl on Rave's lips only grew as he ignored the faces being made at him by Nat who sat in the seat besides him. How dare the meat-headed jock make such a mockery of this! This was some horrible joke to be sure, one to ruin what Rave loved the most. What Rave believed was that Nat only wanted to burn it down, watch the musical turn into a crisp, cause ashes to spread across the stage, the audience, and the actors that put their hearts and souls into this. How dare he! This was the worst thing the teen could possibly do to ruin Rave's life while in this damnable school. Even as the rest of the cast showed up, Rave was silently fuming to himself, arms crossed over his chest in defiance.

Professor Amus clapped his hands together, smiling once the entire collection of cast and crew were therem gesturing for them to stand up one by one, to give their name, a detail about themselves, and their reason for joining the stage and the set of Legally Blonde. The first to be at their feet and speaking was Kevin who scratched awkwardly at the back of his head through his hat as he slowly looked to the group.

"Kevin Anderson. I'm uh, the quarterback and captain of the football team. I got casted as the weird UPS guy, and Dewey, and I only joined because Edd did and to make him stop whining about i-"

"Kevin!" Edd protested, scarlet coloring running along his cheeks down his neck in pure embarassment. He squirmed in his seat before standing, his voice low with embarrassment. "Eddward Rockwell, and I am the president of the chess team, and I was forced into joining as Paulette due to some … information a … friend has." Joshua smiled from his seat, rocking back and forth with a gleeful expression.

"My name is Joshua - my last name is of no importance. Instead let's all just focus on the fact that I shall be the costume designer, and I shall be spending my time designing and creating as well as forcing you into each and every costume during this production!" Chairs scraped against the stage flooring to get a bit of space, concern over the costumes now in everyones minds, yet that lasted only a moment before introductions were continued.

"The one, the only, Eddy as your Professor Callahan, meaning I'm mean and in charge and I'm happening!"

"Ed-boy, please be quiet as Rolf tells all that Rolf shall be the mysterious man who is royalty in his home country!" Professor Amus smiled and added in. "Rolf shall also assist with extra characters and heavy lifting. Next?"

Nazz smiled as she stood, looking to those around her before speaking clearly, "Hey, dudes. I'll be Brooke the fitness guru, so let's whip it into shape!" Rave couldn't help but crack a hint of a grin. Nazz was perfect for the part, add in the fact they got along decently, meaning working together would be enjoyable at least. It came to no surprise to the theater junkie that Jimmy would be playing as the gay (and European!) man in the court room and would assist with choreography for the dances, though Johnny playing as the gay boyfriend was something to gape at. Perhaps there was more than meets the eye to the fuzzy haired kid. That or he was just bored.

The smaller roles each stepped out and explained briefly for each persons reason; Ed as Elle's father as he'd always wanted to call Rave 'Button'; Marie Kanker as the mother due to her sisters' pushing and insistence to join them; Lee Kanker for the step daughter as she fluffed her hair gently in a silent show - her reasoning for getting the part despite her rough personality. It came as a surprise that Enid would be played as May Kanker - the blonde haired girl as the rough, peace corp lesbian was not what Rave had expected, nor what the rest of the cast expecter either, but when she explained that she had always wanted to be in a muscial, she was accepted with smiles and nods from them all. After that, many girls stood, glaring at Rave as they did, listing their B-list part as the friends of Elle. Oh how amusing, they would have to love and swoon over him on stage while hating the piss out of him. Drama was so amusing.

At last, it came down to the four remaining parts: the leads.

Sarah huffed, pushing herself to her feet. She had grown over the years, her hair pulled back into a messy ponytail that made Joshua squeal in joy for the chances to play with her hair style for the show. "I'm going to be Vivian because no one else could do such a character as well as me so don't even try or say anything!" A snicker escaped Rave's lips, but he grinned. The tight fists his hands were balled in at the beginning were loosened, his arms resting in his lap comfortably. He had momentarily forgotten his problems with who his Emmett would be. More so as the rather tall figure of the mysterious senior nicknamed 'Plank' stood up, looking directly into the chestnut brown eyes of Rave, accent thick as he spoke. "I shall be Warner, it shall be a pleasure to work with each and every one of you, even more so to work with the actor playing as my Elle."

The grin on Plank's lips made heat rush to Rave's ears and cheekbones, if only for a moment of course. Yet his problems were brought back with a crash at the voice of Nat. Why the hell did he sound pissy all the sudden? Why was he looking at Plank like that? "As the captain of this crew, I, Nathan Kedd Goldberg will be the amazing Emmett Forrest. Please, don't hold your applause. As for my reasons for joining, well, that's my little, black secret."

Rave sneered, sticking his nose into the air as he huffed. What the hell kind of reason was that? It was pathetic and horrible and just further proof he was only doing this to ruin the show. Everyone looked to the mahogany haired teen as he stood, hands clasped in front of him. "My name is James Rave, I am Elle Woods in this production. I am here because this is the next step to going to Broadway. Everything will and must go perfect, if it doesn't, I'll fuck each of you up personally."

"Does that include me, Claire?" Rave sneered at Nat who grinned, wiggling his fingers. "Especially you, Goldberg."

"I think I'm in love then, Tiffany!"

It was the soft chuckle of the professor that made everyone look up from the arguing duo. The teacher smiled as he picked up a rather large sized carrier bag and unzipped it. "There is one member of the cast we have not introduced. I would like you to all welcome our 'Bruiser', MuffinTop."

From inside the bag walked out a small dog. A chihuahua. Nothing more then a small puppy that barked happily, his tail shaking so hard his body shook with him. It took but one look at the people around it, before scampering to the direction between Nat and Rave. The high pitched scream of terror that sounded through the stage was enough for everyone to turn towards Rave as he crashed backwards from his chair, trying to back pedal away from the puppy.

It was moments like this, that Nat truly did show his colors. He snapped his fingers to the puppy, picking the small, wiggling creature up, taking it into his hands before turning towards Rave. Their eyes locked. No, no, no! Nat wouldn't consider doing such a thing, would he? Even for that ass wipe, that was pushing things to another level! Rave pushed himself up, stepping back quickly. Each step was met with one forward by Nat with the puppy.

Chase was given.

"GET THAT FUCKING MUTT FROM ME YOU FUCKING COCK SUCKER!"

"Awwww, come on, princess! MuffinTop wants to give you a kiss. Look! He's drooling!"

Rave ran quickly, moving from the center stage to the back, running past the curtain. Nat was close at his heels, the barking of the puppy just making Rave run faster. Why did he have to be terrified of fucking fluff mongrels with teeth?! A misplaced cable caught on Rave's foot, sending him roughly to the wooden floor, small scrapes running along his hands and arms from trying to brace the impact. Nat moved to the fallen Rave, having not seen the fall in the darkness backstage, holding the puppy to his face. "Just one kisssss."

"Stop it! Just stop it! PLEASE!" A sob wrenched through his throat. Nat froze instantly, his eyes shining in the darkness as he looked to the other. He could see the shimmer of tears in the others eyes. Was Rave truly that frightened? A frown fell onto Nat's lips as he put the puppy down, not caring as it scampered off to find the others on center stage. Nat lowered himself to his knees, a hand reaching out to brush a tear. Rave flinched, glaring roughly.

"You're a fucking asshole. Messing with someones damn fears, trying to ruin their dreams. You are a horrible fucking human." Rave pushed Nat from him, quickly wiping the tears to find an escape from his teal-haired tormentor. Nat's hand hovered lightly in the air, hovering over the empty space Rave had just been occupying.

"I'm not here to ruin anything … " Nat's words fell on the dark sets, props and the curtain.
