Girls Bonding and Terrie-Marie's Rudeness
Disclaimer: Do AJ and I look like dead guys? No? Well then we don't own Les Mis.
Third Person POV:
The girls are all in one of Combeferre's house's many spacious rooms, AJ sitting on the floor and drawing her knees into her chest. Kaylin walks over to AJ, fuming at Enjolras's obliviousness. She sits down next to her best friend, arm wrapping around her shoulders.
"Want to watch some musicals while eating ice cream?" Kaylin says, trying to cheer AJ up. AJ looks up from where she was staring intently at the carpeted floor. A wide smirk crosses her face and she nods, standing up from the floor.
"Where's the freezer?" AJ says happily, mood changing in a split second from the words 'ice cream' and 'musicals.' Kaylin hesitates for a second.
"Sh*t, I forgot about that. I'll ask Ferre." Kaylin exits the room where all the girls are and walks down the stairs towards Ferre. And unknowingly Enjolras as well.
Kaylin's POV:
I walk down the staircase to ask Combeferre where the freezer is so we can watch many different musicals while crying, laughing, singing, and raging. Then, I see Enjolras still seated on the couch, head in his hands. Oh f*cking sh*t. I can't deal with this now. I sneak into the kitchen and tap Ferre on the shoulder.
"Hey, do you know where the freezer is?" I ask.
Ferre looks at me like I'm insane. "Uhhhh right there," he says, pointing at the metal fridge and freezer on the wall. "And I'm not gonna ask; I don't want to know." I wink at him and grab three pints of ice cream: chocolate, vanilla, and cookie dough. I grab many spoons for all of the girls and walk out of the kitchen, pulling the door closed with my foot. The door snaps shut with an audible sound and I cringe. Great. Enjolras's head shoots up and he whirls around, seeing me.
"Hi," I say bitterly to him. That's probably a little too harsh, but to be perfectly frank, I don't give a sh*t.
"Hello Kaylin," he replies, smiling at me. I stare at him in disbelief. Does he think that he can just make everything go back to normal with one dazzling smile? Oh gosh dang it, I can't fangirl over him like this!! Think of Tari-Mari bullying AJ. Okay, that's better.
I roll my eyes at the blonde seated on the couch. "Stop Enjolras. You know you messed up badly," I tell him, as if he doesn't already know it himself. He nods his head in understanding.
"I'll try Kaylin, but I love her," he says to me. F*ck it.
"YOU DON'T SEE IT, DO YOU ENJOLRAS?! SHE'S USING YOU FOR FAME!" I explode at Enj, letting out all of my emotions at him.
"NO SHE ISN'T SHE LOVES ME! CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT!" he roars. My jaw drops. How can he think that Tari-Mari loves him when she bullied one of his friends?
"HOW CAN SOMEONE WHO HURTS ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS LOVE YOU" I ask, shouting. Enjolras goes quiet, mulling things over.
"Oh Kaylin...... Kaylin, I'm sorry," he says. I scoff, rolling my eyes once more.
"Tell me that when you actually give a sh*t," I say dryly as I walk up the staircase with the ice-cream to tend to my depressed, hurt best friend.
Once I get up the stairs and back in the room with all of the girls, I see AJ sitting on the couch near the TV, searching through many different DVD's. I plop down on the floor right in front of her and lean my head back on her legs, handing the pint of vanilla to her and opening the other two.
"I got ice cream!!" I call to the other girls. Musichetta sits next to her sister on the couch, with Cosette on her other side. Éponine and Rebecca are on the floor like I am. "What musical are we starting with? I think Les Mis, but that's just me. I'm in the angsty mood." We finally decide on a musical, Les Mis. Yes!! This is going to be wonderful. I hand out the spoons and we dig into the ice cream.
Watching Les Mis with AJ and I is chaotic. That's the only word I have that is good enough to describe this mess.
Look Down
AJ and I are screaming the lyrics out along with Becca with Musichetta dying of laughter. Éponine is filming while Cosette is looking at us like we are insane. We are insane. Everyone was surprised at how well AJ and I got the voices when we sang the lines.
AJ and I: Sweet Jesus doesn't care!!
Musichetta: dayum girls!!
Cue AJ and I taking very dramatic bows and me almost upending the ice cream into my lap. Thank god I didn't.
The Bishop
Cosette has not seen Les Mis ever, so she is pretty shocked that some French soldier started beating Jean Valjean. She starts tearing up while the rest of the girls try to comfort her. Basically that's the only important part from this song. I use the whole bit before the barricade boys as a prologue because, quite frankly, I don't care about anything other than the boys. AJ's the same.
Valjean's Soliloquy
AJ absolutely crushed this part. 100% nailed it. If Courf was there, he would have been out cold on the floor from the absolute mastery. The song is not one of my favorites, but that's because Valjean's being an absolute idiot and tearing his parole papers up, prompting some old Inspector to chase after him because he is literally obsessed.
At the End of the Day
Cosette starts to absolutely sob at this. It is very, very sad but it makes me more furious than sad. The foreman is an absolute b*stard and I just want to punch him in the face and then kick him in the balls and laugh in his face. All of the girls flinch when Fantine is turned to prostitution because it's absolutely horrible to imagine. Cosette's mom is actually named Fantine and apparently looks a lot like this Fantine, so I think she was imagining her mother doing this and it was more emotional for her.
Lovely Ladies
When the first notes come on, AJ, Becca, and I look at each other, smirk, and then start absolutely shouting the lines. Musichetta is dying of laughter on the couch once again while Cosette and Éponine were gaping at us in shock. I mean, I have the purest mind in the group of girls, and I'm singing one of the dirtiest songs in this musical word-for-word.
I Dreamed A Dream
So Becca had apparently played Fantine at her local theatre and still remembers the lyrics, so she was singing along and it sounded so good. I took a video and posted it on TikTok cause why the heck not?
Fantine's Arrest
The only thing I can do at this scene is rage. That is it. Everyone is staring at me in shock, even AJ and Becca, as I swear at the TV screen. I told them, "Just wait until the final battle." AJ's eyes widen when I say this, and I see her mentally preparing.
Who Am I?
We just sit and stare at the TV at this point. AJ and I scream 24601 and it causes Ferre to come running upstairs. He looks so scared for us that I'm absolutely dying at the look on his face.
"WHAT HAPPENED?" Ferre shouts as he barges into the room, door flinging open.
"We're watching only the best musical of all time," I respond, grinning. Becca walks over to Ferre, kisses him softly, and then closes the door in his face. I burst out into laughter almost immediately at the expression on Ferre's face as the door shuts in front of him.
Fantine's Death
We all start sobbing. Fantine's death just hits hard because she's literally the only one in the musical that was a victim, other than Cosette. Everyone else did something that made someone else do something back. Even the barricade boys, as much as I dislike it. They technically committed treason, but who cares?
The Confrontation
AJ and I start to battle with lightsabers, causing every single person in this room to start crying of laughter. AJ really wants to do this with R for the showcase that's coming up soon, and R's gonna be in a dress. It will be amazing.
Castle on a Cloud
I played young Cosette for my local theatre and I still remember the lyrics, so I sang along to the song. AJ is my duet partner, so she is Madame Thenardier. I think she should try out for the character for the showcase because she would be wonderful at it. The sass is just wonderful.
Master of the House
AJ and I, again, are shouting the lyrics. My phone starts to blow up with texts. I look down at it and see that I have six texts all from Courf. I start to die of laughter and shakily type a response.
I nudge AJ and hand her my phone, showing her the text thread between her boyfriend and me. She starts to shake of laughter and hands me my phone back. Oh Courf.
The Well Scene-The Thenardier Waltz of Treachery
I am furious that they'd just bargain Cosette away for money. I want to slap them so hard.
Suddenly-The Convent
All of the girls in unison: awwwwww
Stars
I can't believe we only have one more song until my boys. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Paris/Look Down
MY SON GAVROCHE!!!! AJ and I are dancing on top of the couch and singing the lyrics aloud. I am Gavroche and Enjolras while AJ is Marius, Courf, and all of the beggars/other students. When Enjolras appears on the screen I shout, "ENJY I LOVE YOU!!" Then I slap my hand over my mouth because another person conveniently named Enjolras is downstairs. Oh sh*t. Hopefully Enj doesn't hear that. My phone buzzes once more in my pocket. I pull it out and glance at the text from Ferre. Oh f*cking hell. I'm screwed.
AJ sees my shell-shocked face and steals my phone from me, scrolling up to the beginning of the conversation. As she reads the texts, her eyes bug out of her head more and more until it looks like they're going to pop out of her head. All of the swear words I know are running through my head in a repeating mantra. AJ looks up at me and winks.
"He loves ya," she says matter-of-fact. I shake my head. "He does, Kaylin. I see it every time he looks at you. Especially today with the Someone Gets Hurt song. He looked like he was gonna faint."
The Robbery-Éponine's Errand
Éponine and I sing a line in unison, our voices blending together in perfect harmony, "It's the police, disappear!! Run for it, it's Javert!!!" Then, I get absolutely pissed at Javert being rude to Gavroche and forcibly lifting him up by his jacket. After that, I start ranting about how oblivious Marius Pontmercy is. It's so bad. But it's time. For the one I've been waiting for!!!
ABC Café/Red and Black
AJ, Becca, Musichetta, and I sing the whole of the song. AJ is Grantaire, Becca is Joly, Marius, and Courfeyrac, I'm Enjolras, and Musichetta is Gavroche. It goes pretty well, if I do say so myself.
In My Life-On My Own
Marius is such an oblivious idiot. This is the only bad part about Les Mis. He's so stupid about Éponine's blatant affection for him that he basically forces her to send love letters to Cosette. Pardon my ranting, but #EponineDeservesBetter.
One Day More
This song. How do I explain this song? It's absolutely wonderful. When Monsieur and Madame Thenardier do the "most of them are goners so they won't miss much" I say, in the most deadpan and sarcastic voice ever, "well that's reassuring." When Javert says the "they will wet themselves with blood," I have to be restrained from jumping into the TV and flat-out murdering Javert. AJ and I look at each other, jump up from the couch, and grab 2 blankets, 10 pillows, and 20 boxes of tissues. It's a necessity.
Do You Hear the People Sing?
Mass chaos in the room. Singing going on from the Les Mis fanatics (AJ, Becca, and I) while Cosette is ranting about Enjolras wanting to get himself killed by standing in the middle of the street to get trampled over. Also totally not me dying over Enjolras's very attractive hip wiggle when he points his gun forwards.
Building the Barricade
AJ and I go absolutely insane at this song. I absolutely die laughing at Marius stealing a horse. Why would that ever be something you think of?? It's so odd. AJ also got Courf's famous line. She told me once that that furniture line is the one that made her fall in love with him. She sounds very much like Courfeyrac.
AJ: We need as mauch faurniture as yew can throa daun!!
Me: YASS WORK THAT ACCENT!!
I start to sing Enjolras's lines, especially the red and black ones. If I was sitting on the couch, I would have fallen off it. AJ and I are preparing for everything that follows this song because we have mental breakdowns at most of it.
Javert at the Barricade
AJ, Becca, and I are singing the lyrics. I'm Gavroche, AJ is Javert, and Becca is Enjolras. Musichetta is Courfeyrac and Jehan. Gavroche is my son and it's very cute how he's so sassy to Javert. It's amazing.
The First Attack-Little Fall of Rain
Everyone starts yelling at Marius to get down from the barricade because he's being such an idiot. I burst into tears when Éponine gets shot and dies and AJ gives me a hug. We have finished the ice cream at this point.
Drink With Me
We all start to sing and somehow AJ has some drink thing that we all drink from. It's not alcoholic because we are still in high school. I realize that the Final Battle is in like two more songs and I am currently crying into a pillow. I'm good.
Bring Him Home
This songs has really good vocals, and AJ wants to sing it. So she does. It sounds literally amazing.
Gavroche's Death
Here's what went down:
Me: NO NO NO NO SON COME BACK!!!!
Cosette: Son? Isn't he only five years younger than you?
Me: SHUT IT COSETTE!! IT'S AN EXPRESSION!
~AJ, Becca, and I tearing up~
AJ: SHIT GAVROCHE GET YOUR ASS BACK OVER THE BARRICADE OR SO HELP ME I WILL DRAG YOU BACK MYSELF!!!
~Gavroche dies~
Me: and here starts the tidal wave of tears.
Then the students start to rally behind Gavroche's death. I shout the "Let others rise to take our place until the earth is free" line, cause I do that every single damn time. AJ and I are sobbing at the expressions on the barricade boys' faces, the fear and anguish in them as they watch their friends dying on the barricade yet they can't do anything but watch and wonder, 'will I be next?'
Okay. So you know how Becca is dating Ferre and AJ is dating Courf? Well, when those two die, they are swearing up a blue streak. It is insane!! But then Enjolras gets flung out a window backwards. I start to swear at the TV so loudly that I can hear the boys laughing from downstairs and, if I strain my ears, Adrian telling them that this happens all the time... I don't have an excuse for that. I watch Les Mis so much at home that my parents have gotten used to me bursting into tears and swearing at either my Chromebook or the TV.
The Sewers
AJ, Becca, and I are still recovering from our boys dying, so for once we are silent. Oh god, AJ just gave me the look when I said 'our.' She knows about Enj and I's... how do I say this?... troubles. I roll my eyes at my best friend and she snorts. I'm still gonna deny it. Even though I basically screamed it in Enjolras's face a few weeks ago. Not my best moment.
Javert's Suicide
When Javert falls of the balcony into the River Seine, I can't stop myself. I shout at the TV, "SERVES YOU RIGHT!!"
AJ, laughing at me, says deadpan, "Oh my god this is so sad Alexa play Another One Bites the Dust." Then, I get a text. It's from... AJ? Oh my god. AJ, my best friend, has officially gone insane.
Turning
Lots of swearing from the Les Mis fanatics in the room. Use your imagination at this point.
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
At the end of the song, there is:
1. a barricade in the middle of the room courtesy of AJ and I
2. Courf and Ferre ran in to check to see if we are okay from all of the crying. Twice.
3. AJ, Becca, and I used up all of the tissues
4. I threw the empty ice cream carton at the TV screen
That's it. *smiles innocently*
A Heart Full of Love [Reprise]-Suddenly [Reprise]
AJ and I sing A Heart Full of Love mockingly to each other. Becca, Éponine, and Musichetta are almost dying of laughter.
Wedding Chorale-Beggars at the Feast
AJ sings all of the dirty jokes a la the Thenardiers. I roll my eyes at the dramatics of those two. How dare they throw out Gavroche?? How DARE they?!?!
Valjean's Death
The adorableness of this scene got me and I start to cry. It's the last song that I cry at because of the way Hugh Jackman absolutely crushed all of the emotion of Jean Valjean in this one song.
Do You Hear the People Sing [Reprise]
Somehow AJ and I got two red flags and we were waving them around like how Enjolras did in the first Do You Hear the People Sing. What else could you expect from us?
AND THAT'S A WRAP!!!
AJ's POV:
I stand up from the couch to go to throw the ice cream cartons away, retrieving one from where Kaylin threw it at the TV during ECAET. She's the absolute best. As I walk through the hallways, I feel a cold hand wrap around my wrist and pull me into a closet. I turn around, ready to slap whoever the hell thought it necessary to scare the living shit out of me. Oh fucking shit. It's Tari-Mari.
"Hi!" she says cheerily yet rudely. I fold my arms, acting blasé.
"What do you want?" I retort.
Author's Note: CLIFFHANGER!!! I will try to update as soon as I can so I'm not keeping you guys in suspense. I hope all of you guys hate Tari-Mari with a burning passion. We're gonna go absolutely off on her at the showcase fittingly called "Pissing off Tari-Mari: The Musical." It started out as Les Mis, but then Les Amis basically said, "fuck it" and made our own Les Mis. The audience was so confused. Hopefully you enjoyed the chapter!!! Vive la France!
