New Girl - PEN15

Opening Night

(Stage scene stolen from Waves, 2003 - not the one with Alexa Demie)

"why don't you get wrinkles" Alex cringes as he looks at his makeup wrinkles

"Nancy is described as youthful, duh" I shake my head as he groans

"Avery, Alex, your on stage in three" Steve peers into the room as we look back and nod at him

We leave seeing Ian and Jess watching the stage from backstage

I sit next to Jess and watch as Maya stares at Gabe as he yells his line

"whys she not responding?" I lean into Jess

"Gabe put his hand between their lips before the kiss" Jess replies as I laugh a bit

I cringe a little as the time passes though Maya seems to snap out of it when some glitter sprinkles above her

She looks up to see one of the techies, I can't see who as the big headgear is covering their head

"Or i'll scream so loud, you won't know what hit ya!" May exclaims in her new york accent as a few people in
the audience applaud her

barely a minute later Marissa is pushing me and alex on stage, the new house set just having rotated

Alex stumbled onto the set, brushing his hair back before turning around with his keys in hand

I stood in the way

"what are you doing Windsor?" I asked with folded arms as he faked a groan

"i'm gonna go to the store" He mutters, brushing me off and walking past me

"the hell you are, work finished at three - it's six. the hell were you doing in those three hours away from home?" I question as my tone becomes stronger

"I'm forty two, i don't have to explain myself" He shakes his head as I scoff loudly

"You come home, smelling like alcohol, leaving your burnt out cigarettes everywhere, and there's a red mark on your collar. Where the fuck were you?" I glare as he continues staring at the prop door

"Turn around and answer me." I demand as he turns

gosh he does not suit wrinkles

"we're you drinking?" I ask

He nods

"We're you smoking?" I ask

he nods

"we're you fucking?" I ask

he pauses

"we're you fucking?" I repeat, my voice growing louder

"no." he replies, a bored look on his face

"give me the keys, it's my car." I put my hand out as he stares at it

"Nah, i need to go" He replies

fucker changed his lines again

"give me my keys, your not going anywhere" I demand as he shakes his head

"bullshit Nancy, watch me." He grins slightly

"you walk out that door and we're done." I step forward as he opens the prop door

"You open that door and i'm calling Debra's husband and giving him a nice long rimmer on our bed!" I yell as Alex rolls his eyes

"Your pathetic" Alex snarls before slamming the door

"Fuck you" I yell at the closed door before the lights dim

I scurry off stage

"These two scenes portray the type of relationship these couples are going to need to overcome, how will they do it? Will they last?" Jess lists, she continues reading off her script as I turn to Alex

"Now that we're finally doing it, I feel like I can say this. This play is so random" I laugh as he nods

"but hey, more quality time" He chuckles as I nod

The rest of the play flys by, Maya finally realises her light, Ian has to keep his shoes on, Jess only uses each of her props once so it doesn't become and issue, Brendan left his beeper at home, I stopped swearing as much cause my brothers would wash my mouth with soap if they heard anything too bad and Alex finally listened to his script

"the days are short Joe, the days are short."
"the days are short Windsor, the days are short"
"the days are short Timothy, the days are short"

Jess, Maya and I all list in our own sets with our casted husbands behind us

The light dims as the crowd begins applauding and cheering

Once the curtains close I immediately go and sit down on one of the set couches

"My poor feet" I groan taking the red heels off

"I second that" Jess drops next to me, taking her yellow heels off

"We did it guys!" Ian cheers

                                      >><<

"Avery! Amor you were outstanding" My dad congratulates as I walk from backstage

"Thank you" I smile while hugging him
🤷
"Darling your brothers decided that because of your great work we'll take you and your friends to Alessandros airbnb" My dad smiled as my eyes widened

"seriously? what friends?" I beam as he chuckles

"Any, even the boys" My dad nods as I look to grab my phone

"We've already arranged it with the parents of Alex, Dustin, Connie, Rebecca, Heather, Brandt, Jessica, and Sage - man I love that boy" My dad smiles while saying Sages name

"He is literally ass at salsa dancing" I look at my dad bored

"yes but he does it, besides the kids a riot" My dad shrugs as I groan

"Anyways, I talked to Miss Ishii-Peters - Shuji can only come if Maya can aswell" My dad side eyed me a little knowing my last interaction with maya

"I'll think it over" I shrug
