After a few weeks of play practice, the big night has now arrived... Performance night!! I am so excited, I can feel butterflies in my stomach as I hear the audience take their seats. Everyone backstage is quiet as Ms. Ambergust announces the play. A few more minutes of silence, then the music for the opening number starts playing, the play has begun!

~~~~~~

Everyone starts talking very loudly as the play has ended, and I have to navigate through the crowd to find Pepper, who is taking me home tonight.

Once I find Pepper in the sea of people, he congratulates me on my great performance, and gives me a friendly hug. I look in his hand, to realize he is holding a bouquet of roses, my favorite! I give him another hug, thanking him for the gift. I blush a little as Pepper, being a gentleman, offers me his arm as we leave the hectic building.

As we walk out, multiple of my other guy friends, including Indigo and Aven, congratulate me on good performance, and I swear I feel Pepper's grip tighten as I give hugs to them.

~~~~~~

As we get closer to my house, I notice that Pepper turns the wrong way. "Um... we weren't supposed to turn there..." I said. " I know..." he replies. I decide just to be quiet and see what happens.
