Third Person POV

After running through the scene where they met the Jacobs, both Carrying the Banner Reprises, The Bottom Line, and the scene where they met Snyder, with some noticeable moments like;

Emilio smirked as he stood in front of Mr. Martino. "I'll call ya sweetheart if you spot me fifty papes," he responded, trying his hardest to cover his Italian accent with a New York one.

There were muffled laughs around him.

"Emilio," Mr. Miller chuckled, "you're not doing a great job at hiding your accent," he commented.

Emilio rolled his eyes. "I'll get better, I swear," he responded.

Mr. Miller chuckled again. "I know you will," he responded. "Good acting though," he added.

"See how Rowan is literally shaking in nervousness?" Josh whispered loudly. "That's called embodying your character," he commented.

Rowan rolled his eyes as he turned around to face him. "At least I'm not the living embodiment of ADHD and a sugar rush combined," he retorted. "And playing a character who's the same," Rowan added.

The people around them laughed.

Josh chuckled. "Fair point," he responded.

Rowan pretended to flip his hair. "I make those."

Josh rolled his eyes.

The other people there laughed again.

Kennedy smiled sheepishly. "I need this." She quickly grabbed her script.

~~

"He said cheese-it!" Aiden exclaimed, trying to look menacing.

Everyone started laughing.

Aiden sighed deeply. "I meant beat it-" he muttered defeatedly, pinching the bridge of his nose, his other arm crossed over his chest.

His twin was laughing hysterically. "That's how we know Aiden is hungry," he commented, out of breath.

~~

Declan cringed. "Yeah, my New York accent ain't the strongest either, Emilio," he stated.

"Yeah," the dirty blonde-haired, Italian boy nodded in agreement. "At least I don't sound British," he commented.

"No, you just sound Italian," Gabriel retorted.

Emilio rolled his eyes, smacking Gabriel with his hat.

And after many more moments, Isabella was just finishing up That's Rich.

Isabella: That's rich! That's rich!
That's rich! That's rich!

An eruption of clapping came from all sides of Isabella.

Isabella smiled, pretending to bow.

Jesse stood up and pretended to ask her about Aliyah as he pointed to her.

Aliyah pretended to not notice, pretending to write with her script.

Isabella smiled, pat his shoulder, and whispered, "Why don't you go find out?" before sitting down.

Aliyah pretended to notice him as Aurora and Mary sang, "don't come a knocking on my door."

"Hello again." Jesse smiled.
