Setting the Scean:Rain fell steadily in the city of tall buildings and bright lights. The streets were packed in cars of all sizes and colors leading up to the cities most popular theater as the cast was preparing for a show and the people outside were recieving their tickets.
Inside the Building(Cast and Crew before the show.):
"Has anyone seem my blouse?" Yelled a tall girl with blonde hair everyone knew as "Trisha" behind the curtain, "Seriously! I need it before the opening scean! I can't go out on stage without a shirt!" She yelled, she wore light blue jean shorts on with brown sandals on, up top she wore nothing but a pink bra with blue polka dots.
"You look pretty sexy just like that!" yelled a males voice from the make-up table, "I'm pretty sure the crowd would cheer." He said, now his identity was given up by the stupid laugh he was cursed with... Eden.
Trisha stomped over to the make-up table and pulled Eden up to her face by the scruff of his shirt, "Eden you say another perverted teenager thing and I will hurt you." Trisha was alot older than Eden. She was twenty-two and Eden was fifteen, they were both imature but Eden wasn't only immature he was profusly perverted. Trisha dropped him back into his chair and left the make-up room with a angry look on her face.
Robert stepped past her as she exited. Stopping to re-look her up and down, make sure he wasn't just seeing things when he saw her in her bra instead of a shirt. He turned to stare at the others with a look of confusion but the room only remained silent for a few moments and then bust back into chatting and clattering noises. Robert walked over to Christine, Christine and Robert were the leads of the play so he figured they might as well practice before the curtains opened. "Hey Christine I was wondering if-" His sentence was brought to a halt when Christine pressed her strawberry smelling lips to his for no paticular reason.
When she pulled back she grinned at Robert, "Was that a good kiss?" She asked starring at him.
"Well... Yes..." He said in a rather stunned voice, "But... There isn't any kissing sceans in the show." He said.
She shook her head and placed a hand on his chest as she gave him that silly Christine grin, "I know silly!" She said, "I'm doing a kissing test on unsespecting men." She said, her blue eyes shimmering with joy, "To see if most men think I kiss well because my one night stand, last night, said I was a horrible kisser." She said and sat down to continue with her make up.
"Most men?" He asked, "How many have you tested?"
"Um... Thirteen." She said, "All of them said yes." She said, "I guess my one night stand really was high." She said.
Robert turned and nearly ran into the director of the show, Barbra, "Barb!" He said grabbing her arm and pulling her off to the side, "I can't work with Christine." He said, "She's made out with thirteen men today to see if they think she kisses well. And she brought a man up to her hotel room and had sex with him." He said, "He was high Barb!" Robert said, "There has to be some rules against what she is doing."
Barbra shook her head, "No." She said, "Christine has done nothing wrong." She said said looking at Robert.
"So you aren't going to do anything about her?" He asked.
"Nope." She said, "What can I say? She's a hell of an actress heading down the wrong road." She said, "Did you know the girl character in the plays is normally the audience come back to see?" She asked pulling her arm out of Robert's grasp, "Now. Go get ready." She said and walked out of the room.
Robert groaned, rolled his eyes and marched out of the room in the direction Trisha had left.
The back door creaked open and slammed shut as a man dressed in a black rain coat, completly drenched in salty city rain, stepped inside. He looked around at his cast mates as they got ready and started to tip-toe to the dressing rooms.
"MITCH!" Yelled the high pitched voice of Barbra, "Where the hell were you?!" She yelled, "The show starts in thirty minutes and you are soaking wet and-" Mitch pulled off his hood to reveal the red mark on his neck, "Oh my god is that a hicky?" asked Barbra as her brown eyes were pulled to stare at the red mark.
"Yeah." Mitch said rubbing his head.
Barbra starred at him, "We broke up three days ago!" She yelled, "How the hell did you get that?"
"How do you think?" He asked and started to walk to the dressing rooms, "Got drunk in a stripper bar." He dissapeared out the door.
Barbra let out a loud groan and pulled a cigarette out of her pocket as well as a lighter, and stomped out the door that Mitch had entered from.
"Casey! Casey!" Shouted the voice of a little boy, no older than three. Most of the cast and crew knew this little boy as Tucker. It was Tucker's first time ever acting on the stage so it was surpriseing how calm and carefree the little boy was as he ran over to the little girl playing the deseaced daughter of the main roles. Her real name was Casey.
She smiled at Tucker and hugged him when he reached her, "Hey little man." She said smiling as she patted him on the head, "How's my stage little brother doing?" She asked as she patting his blond head.
"Good!" He said, "I can't wait!" He said and pulled at his overalls, or his costume for the show. He smiled at her, "Are you excited?"
Casey truly had alot of feelings about this show. She didn't like the fact her character died at the end, nor did she like that she had so many crying sceans with the slut of the cast (Christine), she also didn't like the fact that her mother and father hadn't made it to any of shows yet... However, no matter how shitty the nine-year-old felt she smiled at Tucker, "Yeah." She said, "Can't wait." She said and took Tucker's hand, "Lets go do your make-up and then you can help me with mine." She said and walked with Tucker over to two empty chairs.
Along with the angst, fighting, desagreements, friendship, and pure hatred... There was alot of other feelings and emotions in the air of the green room and dressing room. Jesse and Hector, two of the extras, made out in the corner. Smearing their make-up all over each other. Donna threw a container of lotion at Melissa and giggled as she threw it back. Jill scavenged through all the bags trying to find a phone she could use just as Kelly dug threw her purse to find change. Hellen whined about her inability to do her make-up on her own and Frank yelled across the room at her to "shut up!". Just as Barbra came back into the green room and yelled, "Places!"
In the Tec Box(Barbra and Trisha during the show):
"Hello? Hello?" Trisha's voice scratched through the head set.
"Yes Trisha?" Asked Barbra as she adjusted the lights to a more sad look for the sceen in the hospital.
"I still can't find my top!" She said then after a pause added, "Well... Actually Eden has it stuffed in his pants and he is on stage."
Barbra couldn't help but grin and then force out a serious mono-tone voice, "Figure something out you are on in five!" Barbra said and was releaved when Trisha's steady breathing left the head-sets.
On Stage(Eden and Trisha during the show):
"I'm sorry mom." Eden said to Christine, who at the time was playing his mother, "But... The doctor said Lizzy isn't going to make it." He said, "They say she will never get better... They say that they've never seen what Lizzy's got." He said as Christine's eyes glazed over and tears fell down her cheeks and Eden pulled her into a hug and Christine started her monologue.
"Pssssst! Eden!" Whispered the voice of Trisha, "I need my top back on the black out!" She whispered but Eden ignored her. He had a good reason to, he was on stage but she knew he could hear her, "Eden! Nurses don't walk around hospitals without shirts!" She whispered and growled when he continued to ignore her. She rolled her eyes, fluffed her hair and when the lights when out at the end of Christine's monologue Trisha walked on stage and to the horror or enjoyment of the crowd stood in place without her shirt. Christine had left the stage and Casey laid in her death bed up stage. Eden sat in a chair downstage, it was supposed to be a sexy scean so why not start without a shirt? She stepped over to the bed and pulled the curtain around it, as if the dying character of Lizzy cared, "Sorry we had to stop for a moment." She said walking over to Eden, "I just didn't want your sister to wake up and see us." She said sitting on Eden's lap and with the hand that could not be seen reached her hand into his pants and fiddled around for her shirt as she spoke her lines, ocasionally stopping to kiss Eden, as rehearsed. When she exited she had retreaved her shirt and the crowd seemed satisfied with her show.
Backstage(Robert, Trisha, Christine, Mitch, and Tucker during the show):
Trisha exited only to trip over the making out Mitch and Christine, "You sick slut and man-whore!" She whispered and continued on towards the green room as she pulled on her shirt, "Get off each other! There's a show going on!"
Robert had heard Trisha and walked into the backstage area, Tucker had tagged along close behind. Robert pulled Mitch off of Christine just as it was about to get X rated, "Seriously you two! There's a show!"
"Mitch said that I'm the best kisser he ever met." Christine said smiling up at Robert and Mitch in a dreamy hazed voice.
Robert looked at Mitch, "Is she drunk?" He asked.
Mitch shrugged, "Something about girls and red wine that make a man happy." He said.
"You son of a b***h." Robert said and threw Mitch down and pulled up Christine and then walked out of the backstage into the green room, Tucker following.
Mitch growled and pulled himself up and after the three, then he stopped sat down in a corner and rubbed his head.
However, the show went on sucessfully. Christine was able to make it through the show, as drunk as she was. Eden was satisfied with himself until Trisha approached him back stage and kicked him in the balls.
Hotel Lobby(Cast and Crew after the show):
"Well. Good night everyone I hope you guys are happy that the show was a hit and the backstage life is s**t." Barbra yelled at her cast, "Get over yourselves and actually work like a group!" She yelled and stompped off to her room.
"Eh go hug your blow-up boyfriends." Mitch growled under his breath and walked in the opposite direction.
"Hey Mitch! Why don't you go jump off the roof!!" Yelled Christine as she took Robert's hand, "d**k head." She said under her breath as Robert and herself headed to Christine's room.
"Man. When do I get a piece of that?" Eden asked watching Christine walk away with Robert.
"Ag." Trisha slapped the back of Eden's little perverted head, "You sick son of a b***h." She said and walked towards the elevator.
They were followed by the rest of the cast... Except for two little children who still stood in the center of the lobby. The only children of the cast and the most innocent characters in this story... Casey and Tucker.
"Do people always fight Casey?" Asked Tucker.
"No. Just full of themselves actors and actresses." She said rudely then fixed ehr tone, "So many of the people who work on stage are different and all exuberant and loud extroverts." She said looking at Tucker, "They all just can't stand each other... Or they fall deeply in love with each other." She said, "It's like they all talk a different language when they are behind stage curtains.." She said, "Do you understand?"
"No." Tucker said looking at Casey.
She smiled, "Good." She said and took his hand as they dissapeared from the lobby.
