About twelve-thirty, at the Maine Theater close to the western part of the city only a half a mile or two from another pair of woods. Danni proceeds to  pace nervously as the casting will be announced today. Alex walks over to her and Nikki along with Jacob and Zach, who’ve been watching Danni pace back and forth.

Alex- “ It’ll be alright Danni, don’t fret too much.”

Jacob- “ It’s easier said than done.”

Danni- “ No kidding.” 

Zach- “ It’ll be fine. You two have done this before.”

Alex- “ Zach is right, everything will be fine.”

Nikki- “ Yeah, but it’s like a job interview, no matter how many times you have one you still get nervous.”

Alex- “ True very true, but you two did a very good job at the auditions.”

Jacob & Danni-” Thanks.”

One of the workers walks and hands a piece of paper with names to Alex, looking down to read the names out loud Alex smiles then claps a bit to gain everyone’s attention.

Alex- “ We have our cast ready.”

Reading off the many names of the cast, after a brief minute of names going by, Jacob and Danni hear their names.

Alex- “ For  J.D. that will be Jacob Herring, and then for Vironicia will be Danni Komodo.” 

Finishing reading off the rest of the cast, Danni turns to Jacob giving him a hug; after all the scripts are handed out, Danni and Jacob start flipping through their scripts. For about two hours everyone either stayed to chat and practice or have left already; closing their scripts then looking at each other Danni and Jacob smile, Danni’s eyes stay a coral red.

Danni- “ Do you want to memorize the songs or speech first?”

Jacob- “ We can do the speech first, since we learned some songs while in the auditions.”

Nikki- “ Congrats!” 

Danni & Jacob- “ Thanks!” 

Zack-  “ Bravo.”

Nikki- “Do you guys want to go get something to eat as a treat?”

The three of them say yes in agreement, then turn to Alex who seems to be close to heading out, but seems to be skimming around looking for someone.

Danni- “ Alex, do you want to come?”

Alex- “ Sure…. but do you mind if I stop somewhere first? I have to drop something off.”

Nikki- “ No we don’t mind , want us to come with you?”

Alex- “ Doesn’t matter.”

Zack- “ We can split up, some go with Alex and some of us can go get a table.”

Danni and Jacob go along with Alex while Zach and Nikki go get a table at a local restaurant. Walking down the street that is lit up by the street lights, Alex smiles yet still keeping an eye around.

Alex- “ Well I’m glad you two got the parts.”

Danni- “ I know. Same here.”

Jacob- “ Veronica.”

Danni- “ I’m not opening the door.”

Alex- “Seems you two are already practicing, by the way we’re almost there.”

Danni- “ Okay.. oh we can go the genderbend roles, you as Veronica and me as J.D.”

Jacob- “We’re doing it, it’s going to happen.”

Arriving at a decently sized Dojo called ‘Fukusū no doragon.’ Alex opens the door having Danni and Jacob follow behind into the inside of the dragon.

Alex- “Killian, I’m to…..”

Entering into the Dojo they are met by Killian grabbing a volunteer's arm from behind as they try to grab him, pulling his arm behind him and slamming him to the matted floor. Alex sighs and shakes his head.

Danni laughs at the sight while Jacob is wide eyed, Killian blows his bangs back in an annoyed manner as he looks at the three.

Killian- “ Alex, don’t give me that look...”

Kneeling down to the kid Jacob helps the kid up from down on the floor. 

Jacob- “ Are you okay?”

The young kid gives a thumbs up, as he goes back to his spot in the room. Killian sighs while pulling the hair tie from his messy hair, giving a glance at the three of them.

Danni- “ That was funny, do it again.”

Alex- “ What would happen if they got injured?”

Killian- “it’s self defense. That's the whole point of this class..”

Danni- Can I do it now?” 

Killian- “ no.”

Danni- “ Okay.” 

Alex- “Anyway, here’s the key Killian.” 

Killian- “ ok..” 

Handing Killian a house key, he shoves it in his pants pocket then looks at the remaining two who stand at the door, waiting for their reason for being here too.

Danni- “ So we’re going out to eat, wanna come? We’re celebrating because we got the parts.”

Killian- “ yeah sure , lemme just finish up here.” 

After Killian finishes the lesson, waiting for the kids' parents who normally picked them up, after they head to the local restaurant.

Jacob- “ That was fun.” 

Danni Smiles

Alex- “ Wonderful, now that we’re all together again, we can head back.”

Danni- “ Yeee all together now.”

Jacob- “ Are you all ready to go?”

Killian- “ yea.”

Danni- “ Alright let’s go.”

Slowly walking down the street again, Danni and Jacob smile at each other as Alex who walks ahead glances back to Killian who has his hands in his hoodie pocket keeping low.

When they arrive at the restaurant they go to the table where Nikki and Zach are sitting, and they all order food.

Danni- “ So how have your days been?”

Nikki-” It was good.”

Zach nods.

Jacob- “ You know how my day went.”

Alex- “ It was very good.”

Killian stays quiet listening to the others talk, as their food is ordered they wait a couple long minutes before it comes, they eat and talk a bit. After paying they leave the restaurant about to part ways.

Danni-” Do you guys want to do anything else?”

Jacob- “ I don’t mind doing anything.”

Zach- “ I’m up for doing something.”

Nikki- “ Sure.”

Alex- “Apologizes....... I would love to.”

Danni- “ You don’t have to if you don’t want to keep moving.”

Killian- “ we actually need to go.”

Everyone decides to just part ways again for the day. Walking to their new place to unpack Alex taps Killian’s shoulder getting his attention and smiles, Killian smiles a bit but then frowns.
