"Oh, this is wonderful!" Tidur squealed. "I can't wait to see my daughters perform together!"
"How many revision do you think Nāṭaka did to this one?" Roen mused aloud.
"A lot considering the actors chosen for the play," Felicity laughed.
The stage light came up to reveal Ciana standing at the front. "There were three pigs," she announced emotionlessly. "They left home and built their own houses. One straw, one sticks, and one of bricks. Then a hungry wolf found them."
"Ah, is she skipping over lines again?" Adalgiso asked warily.
"Yes," Sloan said sorrowfully. "She used to enjoy plays so much...!"
The stage lights came up, revealing Dylan standing underneath a flimsy stage prop that looked like a house of straw in front of a green countryside background. "T-There is no finer house than a house of straw!" He announced proudly.
Suna flew onto the stage towards him. "Keeeeeeuu! Keeeeeeuu!"
Dylan gaped at Suna in open confusion for a second before he remembered himself. "N-Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!"
"Keeeeeeuu! Keeeeeeuu!" Suna roared in response. She flicked her tail against the house prop and it immediately fell down.
"The straw house fell down and the pig was eat—"
"Ciana!" Nāṭaka hissed.
"Oh, right," Ciana said. "The house fell down but the pig ran away."
"This already sounds less gruesome," Allise said.
"The wolf chased the pig to the house of sticks," Ciana announced.
The stage lights came up again, revealing Dylan and Esther standing underneath another stage prop that looked like a house of sticks. Esther was blushing and looking wide-eyed. "M—My house of sticks is the best house there is!" she almost screamed.
"Well, Miss Esther is doing a bit better," Adalgiso said.
Suna quickly flew back onto the stage. "Keeeeeeuu! Keeeeeeuu!"
Both Dylan and Esther stared in shock at the dragon. After a moment Dylan nudged Esther with his elbow. "N-Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!" She quickly cried out.
"Keeeeeeuu! Keeeeeeuu!" Suna roared in response. Then she flicked her tail at the prop house and also immediately fell down. Esther screamed and ran offstage in the opposite direction, leaving Dylan and Suna gaping after her.
"They got away," Ciana announced as the stage lights lowered and soft laughter filled the theatre. "The wolf chased them, but we all know he won't be successful."
"Ciana!" Nāṭaka hissed again.
"Suna is the star tonight!" Sharon said excitedly.
"I-I can't go back back out there!" Esther could be heard yelling from backstage. "I'm too embarrassed!"
