SiX the Musical (& Cast) Oneshots

Stuck in between (Part 1) - Cast/Ex-wives

TW: The cast becomes their queens, Maimilia/Parrleyn, Aimie isn't Aimie she's ✨✨Kat✨✨, Lexi has common sense,  Millie's whipped for Cathy (I really just said that), yeah it's slightly hectic

Things were hectic amongst the cast of the West End Musical, SiX. After an eleven-show week, none of them had their heads on straight, and things were always going wrong. Maiya kept forgetting her line after "Gold Star for Cathy Parr" because she found the line "interesting and funny", and "hard to not think about". Natalie forgot she was Jane Seymour, much in favour of the meme about her not forgetting, and started reciting Millie's lines instead. Jaye'J kept messing up the No Way choreography. Lexi messed up the verses in Get Down, and Millie kept forgetting to secure her space buns, which were flying everywhere by the end of All You Wanna Do.

Everyone was worried for everyone by now, with the creative team finding as many alternatives as they could to support the roles until one of them finally decided to give up.

But there was no stopping them.

Though everyone was worried about the cast itself (and the Ladies in Waiting, who were all hungover from Wednesday onwards), the biggest issue in the group was Aimie, who seemed to be forgetting who she was and calling her friends by their queen names.

Frustrating? Definitely.
Amusing? Definitely.

One time only Maiya noticed.

"Jane, can you pass me a hair band?"
"Did you just call Nat, Jane?"
"Oh, did I? So sorry..."

Another time, she gave Millie a birthday card with Anne written inside.

"Aimie, babe. My name's Millie."
"What did I write?"
"Anne."
"Oh."

Another time it happened in an interview, and Jaye'J had to make up a story that it was a joke to call each other by their role names.

There was no putting an end to the number of times Aimie was messing up, but Grace and Maiya were only adding to the issue.

"Maiya, are you on crack?"
"What do you mean, Grace?"
"You just called me Elizabeth..."
"Oh... Sorry..."
"I'M NOT ANNE'S DAUGHTER, CATHY."

"It's... Millie..." Millie reminded from the back, slightly peeved. "And you just called Maiya Cathy."

She walked out.

The number of incidents was endless.

Even Millie was losing her senses.

"You're Aimie, right?" she asked, and Aimie nodded in reply. She walked over to cuddle her asking her if she was okay before walking off to get her hot chocolate.

Weird, she thought. She'd never do so without someone asking her to, yet here she was, unable to stop herself.

Millie and Jaye'J had vicious fights, so vicious that Millie needed to share a dressing room with Aimie and Maiya to stop them from fighting.

Nat became more of a mother to Aimie and Millie, and although she couldn't describe why she wasn't complaining.

Over time, the queens got more attached to their lines and songs in the musical. Millie's "Wearing Yellow to A Funeral" got even more passive-aggressive, and Aimie's gasps in "All You Wanna Do" now had a deep-seated meaning in her heart, making each cry for real. Every fight between Anne and Catherine was definitely personal on a Millie and Jaye'J level.

Everyone was changing.

Jaye'J started acting like a Catholic Nun, trying to teach Millie the pros of being Catholic.
