"OH COME ON! I NEED A JULIETT FOR MY PLAYYY!!" Preston yelled as Nikki left the stage with a frown. "Preston if you scream criticism at your actors nobody is gonna want to do this ya know." Veronica said with a sigh. she sat down on the edge of the stage and looked at Preston. "And especially if you always cast yourself as the male protag dude, it just seems a little bit... Y'know like narcissistic or somethin." he continued. Preston fixed his shirt and rolled his eyes. "Nonsense! I am one of the best performers here, thus i should have a starring role in any production!" He said with a laugh. Veronica shook her head and took off it's hat. "I mean I'd be Juliet but i ain't kissing you dude that's like wrong on many levels, and you aren't my type really, so i could just like.. uhhh high five you?" he suggested. Preston groaned and put his hands on his hips. "Well I'd loovee that! But I'd prefer if Juliet was a sweet innocent maiden! No offence but you're not innocent or uhm, cute?" Preston said, he backed away from Veronica who had stood up at that point. "Damn right I ain't!" Veronica said with a laugh, "you look terrified, did i scare ya that much Mr. Goodplay?" Veronica laughed and ruffled prestons hair. "i swear to god veronica do not mess up my hair! it is perfect and if you ruin it i swear to all that is holy i will end you!" preston yelled as he smoothed down his hair. "jeez fine dude! look i'll find you someone to act as juliet if that makes you happy" Veronica sighed. "That would be perfect! Thank you so much!!" preston said with a wide grin.

Time skip to 12:00 pm

Veronica walked into the mess hall and sat down next to Del who was listening to some music. "Heeyy, cyber-face, I can hear your music ya know." Veronica yelled, he nudged Dels arm and they looked over to Veronica while taking off their headphones. "Yeah, it's because it's so loud in here, on the topic of music, wanna listen ,i can grab my earbuds to share?" Del tilted their head and pulled some wireless earbuds out from their hoodie pocket. "No thanks, but what were you listening to? Sounded cool anyways." Veronica shook its head and leaned her arms on the table. "It's this song, the bands is really cool, the best part about it in my opinion is the guitar solos." Del showed Veronica their phone. "Niicee, a little off topic here but what do you say about helping preston with his performance thats coming up?" Veronica asked, he looked att Del with a hopeful look. "Not a chance in hell dude." Del shook their head and veronica groaned. "Oh c'mon i gotta find someone! I promised the guy i'd find him an actor!" veronica slammed her hands onto the table, startling the others sitting nearby. "H-hey watch you don't break anything!" david cautioned as they leaned over the table to look at veronica. "If i was trying to break it i would have already done it david." He pointed out as she slammed the table again. "Hey! I said be careful!" David retaliated with a slightly annoyed expression. "Veronica if you wanna break your knuckles doing that is a good idea but we all know you need your precious finger joints for playing the drums or whatever." Del crossed their arms and a smug face appeared over their mask's screen. Veronica sighed and put his hands in it's pockets. "Hey actually, i might know someone to ask for this acting role or whatever the hell you need for the goodplay kid." Del nudged veronica and pointed over to another table. "Del you're a motherfucking genius!" veronica exclaimed and patted Dels shoulder. Del nodded as veronica walked over to the table. "Hey octavia can i ask you something?" she asked, and placed a hand onto the table. "O-oh! Sure i guess?" Octavia sputtered, they were surprised by the sudden appearance of veronica behind her. "Sweet! So i gotta ask, would you be willing to take a role and act in one of prestons theatre things? You'd do a great job for the role that is empty!" veronica continued, it smiled at octavia. "Well, i'm not really.. Whats the word for it.. Uhm teatralske?" octavia mumbled, she realised her mistake and sighed. "Wait that's wrong, uhh i'm not very theatre like?" they said, unsure of her words. "Ah! You're not theatrical? Thats fine prestons a good teacher he can help!" veronica said with a smile. "Ah that is helpful, i shall speak with him as soon as i can!" octavia smiled and got out of her seat and left the mess hall.

"Jeg sværger, at hvis jeg skal spille en slags skurk, vil jeg holde op." Octavia muttered while walking over to prestons stage. Preston was sitting in the centre reading over a script and making edits to it. "AH! So this is who was given the role!" preston exclaimed, he stood up and hopped off of the stage and grabbed octavia. "You'll be playing juliet in this production! I hope you can learn the script quickly!" preston continued, speaking at a lightning speed. Octavia removed prestons hand from her shoulder, "Undskyld, du taler for hurtigt, kan du bremse?" Octavia stammered. "Excuse me? I'm terribly sorry but what was that?" preston asked, with a confused look on his face. "Oh! I'm sorry, you were talking too fast, could you repeat what you said but slower please?" octavia replied, they looked at the ground for a second. "Oh! Of course. You'll be playing juliet, so i hope you can learn you're lines quickly!" Preston repeated, he smiled. "If you want i can help you with learning your lines and with the acting?" he suggested. Octavia nodded and preston motioned for her to follow him to backstage.

Time skip to after a few days of rehearsing.

"Alright then! I think that concludes the costume making!" Preston exclaimed as Octavia switched off her sewing machine. "Thanks forThanks for all your help designing them Preston, I really appreciate the help!" Octavia said with a smile. Preston grinned and took a bow, "it's no problem, it was a lot of fun!" Preston responded. Octavia stood up and brushed off her dress and put the costume she was working on onto a rack with other costumes. "Alright shall we do a dress rehearsal with everyone? Or do you wanna do some final script work?" Preston asked octavia. Octavia shrugs and picks up their script. "I think I could use some more script help actually." they mumble, she fidgeted with the script in her hands. "Alright that's fine! What parts are you struggling with?" Preston walked over to Octavia and looked at the script. "Uh.. uhm the ehh.. This scene here.." Octavia stammered, she pointed at a part of the script. Preston laughed and sighed. "Ahh yeah I see what you mean octavia." Preston picked up his own script. "Yeah it is a bit awkward I know." Octavia nodded. "It's okay if you don't wanna like, do the scene or whatever." Octavia mutters "selvom han ikke gør det, vil det være fint" Preston looked up from his script and walked over. "Huh? What did you say?" he asked. Octavia looked up at him. "Oh! Nothing, it's nothing." she said. "No no do tell, i'm curious!" preston dropped his script and then sat down on the floor. "The balcony scene is infamous, but if we are to do it it must be done perfectly, if you want we can edit it slightly, but only if you're comfortable with that!" preston suggested. Octavia shook her head and sat down next to preston, shifting her skirt around as to not get it dirty or crumpled. "Ah it's fine, just that.. How do you say... erm.. nogle af ordene er svære at forstå?" they mutter. Octavia sighed and rested her chin in their hands. "The words are.. Hard i guess?" she said, taking their time with the words. Preston nodded. "Yeah some are strange, old english is weird, and i can understand why it is for you. I can help you go over it a few more times if that will help?" Preston said, he smiled and stood up, then offered octavia a hand to help her up. Octavia took his hand and nodded. "Yes please, that would be really helpful."

Time skip- During the performance, SCENE II, Capulets orchard (balcony scene)

Preston walks onto stage, dressed in a fancy looking costume. He begins his monologue as octavia, also dressed in costume appears on a balcony. "Ay m!" she cried, they looked down at preston who smiled at them. "She speaks! O speak again, bright angel!" preston began his lines again. Octavia leans against the prop stone wall of the balcony and smiles. "When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds and sails upon the bosom of air!" preston said, loudly. He turned to octavia who reached out her arm to the audience and placed her other on her chest. "O romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, but sworn my love, and i'll no longer be a capulet." octavia exclaimed, projecting her voice out to the audience. Preston looked towards the audience. "Shall i hear more? Or shall I speak at this?" he said. Octavia began a long line of words, as preston turned to them.

Time skip- after the performance

Preston ran up to Octavia and smiled widely. "You were incredible! That performance was just.. Just.. sublime! I have never worked with someone who could do this kind of work before, well except myself!" Preston exclaimed, he grabbed octavias hands and shook them. "Bravo fair maiden! Bravo! I'm so happy! I could just.. Just kiss you!" he continued. Preston looked flustered and blushed. Octavia smiled a little, "sorry that sounds a little weird." Preston said he looked down at the floor. "No it's okay, you can if you want to, I mean, we are Romeo and Juliet after all." Octavia murmured, with a smile. Preston looked surprised but smiled and bowed. "Well if you put it like that.. My fairest and sweetest maiden." Preston said. He brought one of octavias hands to his face and kissed the top of it. "I will gladly take the opportunity!" He smiled at Octavia and stepped back. "Bravo, dear romeo. Bravo indeed!" octavia giggled, she smiled back at preston who was leaning against a box of props. "Sorry, i'm absolutely knocked out, the performance was really tiring with all the talking!" he said with a sigh. "No thats fine I'm honestly going to lie down when i get to." Octavia sighed. "Hey at least it happened!" Preston said with a smile. He turned to leave but looked over to Octavia. "Well my fair maiden, I shall see you when we meet again!" He said with a bow, and then he turned and left.
