Colin came out dressed in a butler costume carrying a cloche.

"I can't find Harvey" he said flinching; unsure how Trea would react. Harvey was one of the most important parties in the play. He was the turkey.

"Oh no Harvey's missing" Melanie said sarcastically.

"Who's missing?" A voice came from behind her. It was Harvey.

"Harvey, get up here and do your scene with Colin" Trea said gesturing to an empty stage "Where's Colin."

Colin had moved next to Harvey.

"Pass the popcorn" He whispered to Melanie.

"We have no popcorn" Melanie answered.

"Trea, do you have any popcorn" Colin said with so much sass that he sounded like Mirabella.

"Colin, Harvey stage now" Trea screamed.

"Ok we're going" Harvey groaned.

"Ian, Friday come fix the lights. I think you should move them to the left a little" Trea cried. Friday groaned; the lights were attached to the top of the stage fixing them would involve climbing out onto a ladder and turning the lights with her hands. But complaining would be more dangerous than falling from a five-meter drop.

"Were coming" Ian said getting up and jumping over each row of seats.

Friday looked him dead in the eye and walked straight down the middle of seat's (you know the place designed to make your way to the stage).

"You try to hard" she whispered. Ian laughed.
