fairy tale

Dylan always liked acting, ever since she was a little kid, she would put on performances for her parents. She loved being on stages, she loved acting and singing and even dancing so of course she is obviously going to audition for the school's production of Peter Pan, she's not going for Wendy or Tinkerbell but she's going for Peter Pan and so is Jo. They were gonna fight to the death for the role but that felt a little extreme so they're just going to audition. 

"Peter Pan is a boy, Dyl and you are not a boy." They were sitting in the subway shop, sipping on milkshakes. "Neither are you." She scoffs, making the boy's mouth fall open. 

"Okay, stop gender fighting and drink your milkshakes." Sydney was not a big fan of plays or musicals; she liked life better when she was on her skateboard. "Man, I'm never having kids if I already have to take care of you losers." She looks over from where Dylan has half her subway in her mouth to where Jo is too busy coloring in to notice what's going on around him. 

"Guess who's auditioning for the school play?" When Alex walks up to the table, she has two plates in her hands, one filled with fries and the other one with a subway in it. "Stop guessing. It's me." Alex answers before anyone else can. 

"If you're going for the role of Peter Pan, it's going to me." Jo threatens her, making Sydney shoves him off his seat. "No, I'm going for the role of Tinkerbell's understudy." Alex pulls up a seat, placing it right next to where Dylan is sitting. 

"Understudies don't go on stage, Russo." Dylan is leaning back in her seat when Alex takes a few fries out of her plate, "That's the point, Evans." Alex sasses back. "Well, that's too bad because Tink and Peter are really close and I'm auditioning for Peter." Dylan could see that Alex was chewing on a thought. 

"You're cute but not cute enough for me to get on a stage with you." She teases, the two still had no idea what they were but they were always talking, always hanging out and that had to be a start. 

"But you'll watch, right?" Dylan leans towards where Alex is sitting in her seat when the girl dunks her fry into Dylan's vanilla milkshake. "If you're on stage, I won't be able to look away."

"All magic comes with a price, little Wendy." Dylan finished up her performance, Justin was just staring at her. He didn't know what to expect from her. "Wow, it's almost like you've never seen Peter Pan."

"I've seen all seven seasons of Once Upon A Time, no one is more qualified than I am." From the back of the curtains, she could hear Jo booing her and Sydney silencing him. "Have you seen the Peter Pan movies?" Justin held up his clipboard, "They made movies about Once Upon A Time?"

Justin stared at her for a second before holding his bullhorn speaker to his mouth, "Next!" 

"What? Come on?!" Dylan threw her head back and Justin sighed, looking around the empty room, "Fine you can be the understudy." There weren't a lot of people that showed, "Of the understudy," He adds. 

"What?" Her mouth fell open and Jo walked onto the stage, "I'm the orginal understudy." He was barely on stage for a minute when he slipped on thin air and landed on the hardwood floor beneath them. "I'll save you, Jo!" Harper jumped off the stage on her own accord but luckily for her, Jo broke her fall. 

"Oh my God, my Tinkerbell just broke her leg!" Justin almost fainted as he looked down at the two, "I think I broke everything." Jo spoke up from beneath her. "I'm still here, Justin." Zeke placed a hand on his best friend's shoulder. "He's your Peter Pan?" Dylan groaned out. 

"He had a very convincing monologue." No, he didn't, he recited his eighth-grade graduation speech. "Yeah, suck it Evans!" Zeke turned to face her, walking backwards until he too fell off the stage and Justin screams, falling to his knees. 

"Does this mean I get to play Pan?" Dylan tried to contain her excitement when Alex walked up to the two, shock on her face. "Yes, you're Pan and she's Tink." Justin was clearly upset and so was Alex because she tried to throw herself off the stage, but Dyaln stopped her, catching her. "This is going to be awesome." She had her arm around Alex as she tried to keep the girl off the ground.

Dylan was on the stage, acting her heart out. "Tink, what are you doing?" She grabbed the bottle from Alex who wasn't as good as she was, but Dylan still thought she looked pretty cute as a fairy. 

"Do not take your medicine, it has been poisoned." She spoke with no feeling as she grabbed the bottle from Dylan, "I promised Wendy I would take it." Dylan watched as Alex took a sip from the bottle and cringed at the taste. 

"Ew, is this diet?" She called off stage and then she handed the bottle back to Dylan before she grabbed a pillow, put it on the ground and sat down. "I'm dead." She whispered to Dylan who nodded and fell down on her knees, fake tears in her eyes. "Oh Tink, did you take the medicine to save me?' She took Alex's hand into her own, "Yeah sure." 

"With feeling!" Justin whisper yelled at her, "With feeling." Alex repeated and Sydney laughed as she fed Jo popcorn because he broke both his arms. "Is this supposed to be a comedy?" She asked and he shook his head, "But I love it."

"But why Tink, why?" Dylan rests her head on Alex's stomach, "I will live if you believe in me." Alex looked at the ground of blank faces. "Clap to save Tink." Dylan looked up and Sydney and Jo were the only ones clapping and of course, her parents.

The play was a disaster, and she knew it was better to cut her losses.

"Works for me." She grabbed a hold of Alex's hand, pulling the girl onto her feet as the two did their final bows, again, there were only five people clapping. "That could have gone better." Alex laughs when she walks off the stage, Dylan following her like a lost puppy. 

"I think you did pretty good for someone who's never acted before, Russo." Alex turns and waves the comment off, "Oh stop," She starts, "But don't, keep going." She smiles, she liked when Dylan was complimenting her, it made her stomach feel all funny. "I can't sing your praises anymore, but we still have so much time." Dylan places a kiss on Alex's cheek before running off to where her friends and family were waiting for her.
