The Audition
...
Turn: Momo
Period: Class 1- Study Hall with Kaien-sensei
Rukia, I don't want to push you until you're ready, but.. I think you should talk to Shortcake soon. He looks like he's about to go crazy. He approached me today in class and begged me to let him use my phone to text you- you know, so you'd think it was me and reply. I got lucky, though, because Kaien-sensei came over and told him to "sit his butt down, shortcake-chan" Thank god for handsome cousins!
Band practice for Cinderella has already started. Orihime and I attended an after-school meeting for it and we ended up staying for two hours! We have so much new music to practice. I'm excited but a little worried. Rose-sensei has us working our butts off.
So basically there's:
-Cinderella (the theme)
-A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
-Sing, Sweet Nightingale
-The Work Song
-Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo
-So This Is Love
Luckily the music used in the ending, with Cinderella's wedding and all, is the same as A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes. I've already started practicing at home with Lemonade's help- I think he's magical or something because every time he comes he has a different instrument that he plays alongside me, it's so odd. Grannie loves to listen along. It annoys Shiro-chan though, haha. Or maybe it's Lemonade that annoys him. :P
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. Lemonade just tried to grab this! He tried to grab it, and laughed, and said, "Oi Momo, who's this handsome cousin? Someone I should know about?" all while laughing and TICKLING ME! THIS IS YOUR FAULT TATSUKI! HE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN IF YOU HADN'T TICKLED ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE TO GET THE REMOTE FROM ME!
How did your audition go Rukia? Hopefully you weren't too nervous. Yumichika-kun told me he auditioned for the Prince, and that he forced Madarame-kun to audition for the role of the King, which I think would be hilarious. I was surprised he even went along with it, but apparently Yumichika-kun made him promise he would if he agreed to join his kendo team. I heard there were quite a few people who auditioned for the Prince, though. I'm excited to see who he'll be. ;)
Turn: Tatsuki
Period: Class 2- Journalism with Shuuhei-sensei
Yeah Rukia, shortcake keeps hounding me about you as well. He's gotten so spoiled with your presence, you ignoring him is driving him crazy. Well, it's not like he doesn't deserve it, for the way he talked about you, like you weren't even in the room at Lemonade's house! I told him quite plainly that if he wants to talk to you, he better figure something out and make sure you know he's sorry because I'm not going to be his wing-man! Of course, he just grumbled "you're no help Tatsuki" and marched off, pouting like a five year old.
Which reminds me... you guys are going to have a field day with this ok. So please spare my life. But on Sunday, when Renji offered to drop me home, he kind of... asked me to go to the dance with him. He said he'd really like it and would have a lot of fun if his date were me, and he also said that I don't have to answer right away. I just said thank you. So what do you three think? I'm thinking of saying yes, but seeing as Shortcake has ruined things by being an idiot, I don't want to go to the dance with a date if Rukia's going solo. Sisters before misters.
Rukia, I hope your audition went okay? I heard that the only other girls who auditioned for Cinderella were Riruka, Ririn, and Mahana. Considering how these three sound like when they're just plain talking, I'd say you have a 99% chance of landing the role.
oh my god, you guys. Shuuhei-sensei just stumbled in the classroom laughing his annoying, 8 minutes late ass off. When he finally calmed down enough, he stuttered, "Kyoraku and Ise were caught making out in the janitor's closet."
I think I'm gonna need some mind soap.
Turn: Rukia
Period: Class 3- Photography with Ise-sensei
If I thought I was mad at Shortcake before... I'm boiling now.
Auditions for Cinderella went well, actually. I wasn't nervous at all- I've always been a pretty good actress, I think. I sang a few lines of A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes. It was in front of Yoruichi-sensei, Rose-sensei, Rangiku-san and Gummybear. They said they liked me, and then they said they wanted me to try and act out short scenes with other characters to see if we can work with each other in terms of chemistry. Makes sense right? Well, guess what happens.
Apparently, Shortcake- yes, Shortcake! auditioned for the part of the Prince.
And they wanted me to reeanact the final scene with him. AKA the prince asks Cinderella if this is what she dreamed of, Cinderella says "Yes, my wish came true", they kiss, scene cuts, end the story.
I had to do that.
With Shortcake.
Well, Yoruichi-sensei said we don't HAVE to kiss- just bring your faces close to look like you're kissing. It was embarrassing enough- having to do something like this with him when he said not a few days ago that he has zero interest in me and that he doesn't even like me and now I have to KISS HIM!?
So we play out the scene. Fine right? We get to the kiss scene, I look away in annoyance when he brings his face close to mine- only what does he do?
HE KISSES ME! FULL ON!
I was so stunned. It was so... soft. His hands were holding my face. It felt so right. When he stopped, he was blushing a lot, and he said, "Rukia.." like he was going to say something-
only then Yoruchi-sensei cleared her throat. And I remembered that we were in front of four other people.
Yoruichi-sensei was smirking at us, Rose-sensei just looked amused, Rangiku-san was making eyebrows at me, and Gummybear was looking to the side while pushing his glasses up his nose.
I am so furious. I've never been so embarrassed in my life! How dare he kiss me like that after saying all of those things and never even apologizing!
So afterwards, when the audition was over, I sort of walked/ran away from him. He was calling me, but luckily there were a lot of people in the hallway so he couldn't catch up. I'm so angry I can't believe it. What should I do?
Tatsuki, no no no don't worry about me! Even if it's not Shortcake, I'm sure I can get someone to go to the dance with me, as a friend. If you want to say yes to Renji you should! I thought he might like you, you two get along pretty well. He better behave himself or I'll sic Nii-sama on him- he works for him anyway. :P
Okay Momo, your friend Kira is really knowledgeable on stuff like possession, demons, strange occurrences, etc. right? Because I'm 100% sure that my Nii-sama has been replaced by something not of this world. He looked at me this morning when we were eating breakfast at the table, and said "You look sad, Rukia. What plagues you?" I didn't know how to explain that "that brat" that he pretends to have so much disdain for said something that hurt me (Shortcake owes me big time for not telling him) so I just told him I was nervous for the audition. He said, "Don't worry. You're a Kuchiki." and then he PATTED MY HEAD AND LEFT FOR WORK.
Hisana-nee said I was "being silly" when I told her that he's acting weird. How could she not notice her own husband's odd behavior? Then again, Nii-sama's always been sweet to Hisana-nee, so to her its probably the usual.
Lastly, Orihime, do you think you can convince Gummybear to do an interview with me? It's my turn for the school newspaper, and I thought he'd be a good choice to interview, since he's the student council president and is so popular amongst girls and whatnot. I gotta get the rough draft to Shuuhei by Friday.
Turn: Orihime
Period: Class 4- Gym with Soifon-sensei
The new music is tricky, but I'm really liking it! It's especially fun if you sing along while practicing. It makes it easier.
So yesterday after school, I was going to the music room to practice with my flute right? So I got to the door, and I heard this beautiful piano music coming from inside, so I stopped for a moment just to listen- the piece was Beethoven's Für Elise, I could recognize it immediately. So finally, I decided to go inside, and guess who the piano player was?
GUMMYBEAR.
Can you believe it? I was so surprised. He blushed when he saw me- his cheeks got all red and he stammered and said "O-Oh Inoue-san, I didn't know you come here to practice-" And then I asked him how on earth I never knew that he could play piano so well, and he said that it was one of the many talents his mother taught him before she passed away. Then he asked me why I was there, and I told him I was going to practice on my flute, and he asked me what song, and in the end we practiced together! We ended up being there for more than an hour, and then afterwards he asked me if I was hungry, and we went and ate ramen at this cute little shop. Then I asked him when he's planning to take me on a second date- just to tease him, you know?- and HE INVITED ME OVER TO HIS HOUSE ON SATURDAY.
I think I'm going to faint of happiness! EEEEEK!
I'll let you know, Rukia- I'm pretty sure he'll be fine with it. :) And about Shortcake- I can't believe he kissed you! This should've been a moment for us to rejoice. :( But I think you really need to talk to him Rukia... I mean... you haven't been answering his calls or his texts right? I know you're angry at him, and you have a right to be, but I think you should still hear what he has to say.

Rukia Kuchiki Just ignore him, Renji.
Ichigo Kurosaki yeah, you'd know a thing or two about ignoring people wouldn't you Rukia?
Ikkaku Madarame did you unblock Renji just to leave that comment? Man you're whipped Ichigo! Pathetic!
Rukia Kuchiki why does that bother you, Ichigo?
Ichigo Kurosaki because you've been ignoring me for two days now! You won't reply to my texts, my calls, my emails, and you ran in the other direction when I tried to talk to you after the drama meeting today!
Rukia Kuchiki That's enough. You made things perfectly clear at Hirako's house last Sunday, Ichigo. There's nothing more for you to say to me.
Ichigo Kurosaki Rukia..
Ikkaku Madarame Yup. Definitely whipped.
