Your name is John Egbert and holy shit it's time for drama. The class, just to clarify. You look around for Dave in the halls outside the theater, anxiously tapping your foot. You feel a poke on your shoulder and you turn around to find Dave.
"Sup, Egderp."
"Come on, Dave! We're gonna be late!" You grab his hand and run into the classroom, fist bumping your nan as you pass her.
"Is this our new student?" She asks.
"Yeah. This is Dave."
"Hello, Dave. My name is Ms. Crocker. No, my first name isn't Betty." Dave smiles and shakes her hand. "We've been working on musical theatre. John here is singing and playing the piano. Today is presentation day, so everyone will show what they have. If you have any song you'd like to sing or an instrument you play, you're welcome to perform something."
"I don't really sing, so I'll just watch, thank you." Ms. Crocker nods and goes to her desk. "So, you can sing?" Dave asks you. You blush and reply,
"A little, I guess. I'm not that great."
"NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A FUCKING LIE. JOHN CAN SING LIKE AN ANGEL."
"ThAt MoThErFuCkEr CaN sInG bRo."
"John's voice made me h8 my own voice. He sings like 8runo Mars!!!!!"
"Guys, I'm not that great!" You respond, blushing at all your friends complimenting you.
"I guess I'll have to find out." Dave says, smiling.
"JOHN, 1S TH1S YOUR BOYFR13D? 1 C4N SM3LL YOU HOLD1NG H4NDS. W41T...D4V3 STR1D3R 1S TH4T YOU?!"
"Hey, Terezi. Long time no see...uh...I mean-"
"H4H4H4! TH4T W4S 4 GOOD ON3, D4V3! LONG T1M3 NO S33!" Dave is surprised by the fact that Terezi found the accidental blind joke funny. Oh well. She's always been a bit...off. She chuckles and jogs off, going to drop kick a scalemate plusher across the room. Gamzee goes to push Tavros around in his wheelchair, Tavros laughing and making a squealing noise. You go to the piano and Dave follows.
"Do you play any instruments? Well, I know you play turntables." You ask, sitting at the bench. Dave slides in next to you.
"Nope. I just play turntables." He slams his hands down on the piano, making a really awkward chord.
"Dave!" You nudge him with your elbow.
"Pianos are for dickheads." He pokes a whole bunch of random notes and makes a loud SKREEEE sound.
"AHAHA! DAVE! STOP IM GONNA PEE!" You laugh until your sides hurt.
"What's the fastest song you can play?" Dave asks.
"Flight of the bumblebee. It goes like this." Your fingers fly across the piano, playing the song as fast as you can. It's not a fast tempo, but it's 32nd notes, so they're super fast and hard to play. Dave has trouble keeping his cool while you play. You finish out the song and pop your now sore knuckles.
"Damn. What are you, some sort of robot?"
"Yes. I am a robot from the planet Zarg."
"Har de har." You cut him off with a peck on his lips. You should've known better. Nepeta was under the piano. Watching you and Dave. She squeals,
":33< I knew it! Mew two are so cute! I ship mew so much!" She scampers away, going up to Terezi. You roll your eyes.
"Half the people in here are gay. They don't care. Come on. Everyone's going into the auditorium!" You get up off the bench and close the lid to the piano. "You carry the bench, I'll roll the piano." Dave picks up the bench and holds it over his head. You turn off the brakes on the wheels and push the piano through the wide doors the lead to back stage. You push the piano all the way to the back of the stage and Dave puts the bench down in front of it. Everyone sits in the seats, Ms. Crocker in the front and center seat.
"Alright y'all. We're going in alphabetical order. Which means, Aradia, you're first." Ms. Crocker's voice easily projects around the auditorium. Aradia's long bleach blonde hair flows quietly as she walks onto the stage.
"Hell0. My name is Aradia Megid0 and I'll be singing Bring Me To Life by Evanescence."
"Next up, Eridan." Eridan has black hair with a purple streak and he gels it all back. His family's from Wales and he has the accent and the pale skin.
"My name is Eridan Ampora and I'll be singing All By Myself by Eric Carmen."
"Next, Equius." Equius is from Spain and he has shoulder length black hair, that's usually pretty oily from how much he sweats. That guy needs to chill with the workouts.
"D--> My name is Equius Zahhak, and I'll be singing Str0nger by Kelly Clarks0n."
"Next, Feferi." Feferi has lovely chocolate brown skin and poofy black hair.
"My nam-E is F-Ef-Eri Pi-Ex-Es and I'll b-E singing Und-Er-Estimat-Ed by J-Ennif-Er Paig-E!"
"Next, Gamzee." Gamzee has poofy dark brown hair, and he wears all this jugallo makeup all the time.
"SuP MoThErFuCkErS. I'm GaMzEe MaKaRa AnD i'Ll Be SiNgInG hIgH aLl ThE tImE bY 50 cEnT."
"Next up, John." Your heart jumps into your throat and you feel your nerves climbing. You walk up on stage and look at Dave. He smiles and gives you a thumbs up.
"My name is John Egbert, and I'll be singing All of Me by John Legend." You take a deep breath and roll the piano to center stage, kicking the bench along with you. You sit down at the bench and crack your knuckles again. You start off the song a little shaky, singing softly, but once you reach the bridge, you sing your heart out through the chorus. The second verse goes perfectly and you gain your confidence. You finish the song, breathing heavily. Dave stands up and cheers. The rest of the class claps for you and you smile, running back to your seat.
"Nice job, babe." Dave takes your hand and intertwined your fingers with his.
"Next up, Kanaya." Kanaya has shoulder length dirty blonde hair and lightly tanned skin.
"My Name Is Kanaya Maryam And I Will Be Singing I Kissed A Girl By Katy Perry."
"Next up, Karkat...oh dear." Karkat is the one other albino in the school. The only dark parts of him are his clothes and the bags under his eyes.
"MY NAME IS KARKAT VANTAS AND ILL BE SINGING ANGRY ALL THE TIME BY TIM FUCKING MCGRAW." Ms. Crocker can't help but giggle at his comment.
"Next up, Nepeta." Nepeta has short light brown hair that curls up a little at the ends.
":33< *ac prepares herself for her big purrfromance* My name is Nepeta Lejion, and I'll be singing the Meow Mix Theme Song!"
"Oh lord in heaven..." Ms. Crocker mutters. Nepeta finishes and she calls out the next name. "Next we have, Sollux." Sollux has short blonde hair and two different colored eyes, one brick red, the other light blue. It's some form of mutation, you think.
"my name ii2 2ollux Captor, and ii'll be siingiing Beez iin the Trap by Niickii Miinaj."
"Next up, Tavros. Gamzee, could you help him onto the stage?"
"SuRe ThInG. CoMe On TaVbRo." Gamzee pushes Tavros in his wheelchair up onto the stage. Tavros has light brown skin and fair brown hair shaved into a messy Mohawk.
"uHHH,,,hI,,,mY NAME IS TAVROS NITRAM,,,aND I'LL BE SINGING SHY,,,bY JAI WAETFORD."
"Alright, next up...Terezi."
"H1. MY N4M3 1S T3R3Z1 PYROP3 4ND 1'LL B3 S1NG1NG TH3 CL4R4T1N J1NGL3!"
"Okay...Last but definitely not least, Vriska!" Vriska has light blonde hair that she dyed blue at the tips.
"My name is Vriska Serket and I'll be singing Bad to the Bone 8y George Thorogood."
"Everyone did great today! Go and socialize in the lobby! I made cupcakes!" Everyone cheers. Ms. Crocker's cupcakes are the bomb.
