The performers were finally ready to perform after months of practising for the play. It would be an understatement to say Remus was nervous. The half demon was already up and dressed, getting ready for the show, in his pale blue polo shirt and mid blue denim pants at half past seven in the morning. He agreed to get to the theatre at 8 a.m. since they had a photocall, interviews, and some last-minute rehearsals scheduled. The half-demon hurried to the bathroom and gagged, desperately trying not to vomit. Someone had apparently heard him and knocked on the door.

"Rem?" Charles came in after calling. Remus moaned, his gut clutched. "Are you feeling ill?"

"No. It's simply nervousness, really. I'm terrified that I'll wreck everything. I don't believe I'll be able to accomplish it. I'm sick to my stomach."

"Everything will be okay. You're going to be okay. You're going to crush it. Remember how frightened and emotional you were before your previous concert, and then ALEX BRIGHTMAN walked on stage and complimented you?"

"That was fantastic." Remus stood up with a nod.

"You giving my kid any encouragement, Chuck?" Walking down the steps, Betelgeuse inquired.

"Yeah. He's anxious."

"Daww. Ickle boy." Remus was lifted up by the demon for a hug. "You're going to be fantastic. I've seen you perform and know you're a fantastic actor." Betelgeuse gave a warm smile.

"So, it's ten to. I should probably go." Betelgeuse sat Remus down when he sighed.

"Okay. If you don't feel like doing it or become too anxious, please phone me and I'll attempt to come out and pick you up. I love you. Enjoy yourself." Betelgeuse embraced him closely and kissed him on the forehead. Remus headed to the stage door after teleporting to the theatre. He knocked, and the doorman, Ray, responded and welcomed him inside. He moved around the back, stopping to speak with a few cast members along the way, keeping an eye out for Alex and Kelvin, who had been cast as pranksters, but Remus was always on the lookout. That was one of the advantages of living with a demon who admired Loki. He went into his dressing room and sat at his desk, staring in the mirror. It was obvious that he was paler than normal. His complexion was usually a natural brown tan. He did some basic make-up, opting for a foundation base with bronzer and highlights. He was scrolling through his phone when he heard some talking and giggling and decided to turn it off. Kelvin ripped open his door and started playing his saxophone to terrify him. Everyone was giggling at their inability to intimidate him. "Did you know I could hear you laughing and whispering? All I could hear was 'shh. We're going to terrify Remus. shh'. "Alexander Michael Brightman, don't even think about it!" He whirled around to see Alex, who appeared to be about to surprise him.
