Classmates Days

Chapter 24: Dana, The Show Goes On

I was in set crew and I was helping out Saun with his work on the dragon whenever people in the Art room needed it. We were making a dragon by hand instead of using magic, so that way we could impress the non-magic beings with our work. It was fun really. I was able to listen to music and be with my friends while we were working on the dragon. Tifa, my guardian, even helped us by suppling snacks when Nina couldn't because she was busy with helping the Dreamers with their problems.

"Hey Dana! Are you ready to help build a dragon?" asked an excited Tifa.

Even though her world was in turmoil, she still lend a helping to other worlds. I did try and help her world get out of turmoil but I never had enough time really. With school work and sports practice to helping out at the play, I didn't have enough time to help her and her world. I know Justine and Andrew did help from time to time. However, Nish could only come if it was safe for him and Ned went whenever he could. Grace couldn't even come most of the time because of her busy schedule. Alia came most of the time to provide support to them. Olivia only came when she didn't have anything better to do. However, we would try and get to her world and help them as much as we could.

"Alright! What color does it need to be X?" asked Tifa as she looked at Sean as she got her paintbrush ready.

"Uh I am Sean" he said as he looked at her with a confused look.

"Oh right! Sorry! Out of habits!" she said as she apologized to him.

Sean was fine with it and he said "Well you could paint the wings purple"

He pointed to the wings on the ground near the steps of the stage. We walked over to it and began to paint the wings.

"We should get at least half way done at the end of the day" explained Tifa as she examined the wings.

I nodded as I painted the wings of the dragons gently. The wings were a sparkling purple color and they were coming together nicely and we were hoping to be done a few days before the last three play practices could happen. Sean and X were working really hard on the dragon for the last few days so the rest of the members had to do their best and help build and decorate the dragon. The Dreamers were doing a pretty good job of keeping trouble away from the chapel and protecting the costumes and set pieces. Sarah and Jay were making sure that nothing was damaged so they even did double duty to protect the play. Nothing bad happened during the setup for the play.

"Ok, let's get this play going. Let's rehears scene 1 act 3. Logan and Stovien! Make the lights shine brighter on Alia! Mary, Beth, and Paige! I want more feelings coming from your faces!" said Joey as he held the directors book and gave commands to the actors and the work crew members.

I sat with Whitney and drank some water after finishing up some props. Nina and Soren were taken care of the dragon while Sean was ordering them about how to do it. It was near 6 when they finished going over tonight's scene. Everyone was doing homework and preparing their work for tomorrow's classes. Everyone went to bed after they had finished their homework. I was heading for my room, but I heard Sean and Whitney coming up the stairs in a panic mannered.

"What's wrong?" I asked them as I turned around and looked at them.

"The dragon is GONE!" shouted Whitney as she tried to catch her breath.

I was stunned. How could the dragon disappear? We ran down to the Chapel room and went backstage. They were right. The dragon was gone.

"How did this happen?" I asked them.

Everyone had worked so hard to make that dragon.

"I don't know, but maybe one of the Dreamers' enemies took the dragon. Jesa, Soren, and Nina did help make the dragon" said a thoughtful Whitney.
