When your parents were offered a once in a lifetime chance to send you to a high school and act as a 'test subject' they couldn't deny it, because you were promised free admission to any university of your choice and this way your parents knew they...
"He'd let us in, knows where we've been" "In his octopus's garden in the shade" "I'd ask my friends to come and see" "An octopus's garden with me"
Berwald: sitting on a rock What are you singing about?
A restless night made your mind active, desperately scratching at your brain, filling you with a thousand thoughts, theories, ideas, answers and nonsense. The ocean was freely exploring, with a cheeky breeze fondling your hair, disrupting every strand.
You: talking to Berwald with your back turned to him What was the whole reason for doing the play again?
His eyebrow cocked from your dramatic mood. Your body outlined from the moon's silver light gleaming off the ocean.
Berwald: pulling his legs into a crossed leg position To... To get more people to bond and widen their friend groups.
You: turning to look at him, with your arms wrapped around your chest Then why am I mingling them with classmates they have known for years?
Berwald: his cocked eyebrow intensifying Are you cold?
You: scrunching up your face WHAT KIND OF ANSWER DO YOU CALL THAT!? WAY TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT PROFESSOR SERIAL CONVERSATION KILLER!!!! DID YOU EVEN KN--
Berwald: cutting you off Can you scream any louder? Do you want Roderich and Basch to know I'm here?
A pink guilty blush warmed your face, as you realised what you did.
Berwald: cracking his neck Plus I know you... I don't like what you were thinking, far to risky. Either way, fail or success, Germania will find out and ship you off the island, as fast as he shipped you here.
You could tell imminently that he knew what your big plan was, luckily he had no clue of how you were going to do it. Little Miss Cyber has more than just 57 ways to get from point A to point B.
You: hopping on the rocks over to Berwald Okie-dokie, artichokie!
A gleaming smile sprouted from your face, making you look like a troublesome child.
You: squatting on a rock and poking the ocean with your finger Wanna go for a midnight swim?
Berwald: sighing ... You're trouble.
You: answering back in a childish tone DERRRR!! You've now just connected those dots!?
...
OH RIGHT BOYS! NOW SHAKE WHAT YA MAMMA GAVE YOU, WHILE I STAND BACK HERE WITH THIS CAMERA AND INDUSTRIAL SIZED BOX OF TISSUES TO CLOG UP ANY RED NASIL WATERFALLS!
In all honesty, this was a pure spur of the moment decision, but luckily you were able to round up enough people to dance for you.
Leon was running through with teaching the boys the final moves to a choreography he's been working on for the past few weeks. Despite not knowing anything about the the dance yourself, it definitely pleased your requirements when you sprung this favour on go him.
Arthur: lifting up his hand to ask a question Yeah. Yeah. I know it's all fun and games to suddenly start learning a dance... But what's with the bloody camera?
You ignored him, as you fiddled around with the video camera, trying to figure out how it worked and all the cool settings the instruction book said it came with.
Matthew: speaking up as well Yeah... Um, I wouldn't mind with finding out too. Is it involved with the play?
You: mumbling to them It's just for fun.
Just for fun, my butt! This is all apart of the grand scheme. Why not use what you have, while you still can... Unfortunately it has so many downsides, but the positives definitely outweigh them.
Alfred was flouncing around to the beat of the music Leon had set up, he didn't seem to be paying too much attention to what he was being taught. On the other hand, Jett was nailing every move, taking the chance to every time he saw you looking at him, to send you a cheeky wink while showing off.
Arthur seemed highly irritated by this and didn't put his heart into what he was doing... Typical of him. Always being a difficult person to please. Matthew's stage presence was far more low key, with every movement being stiff and off beat from his nerves.
To be far, not everyone here was your first choice to use to make a dance video, but they were the first people you could find on such short notice. Maybe by arranging their layout being Leon in front, Alfred and Jett behind him and finally Matthew and Arthur in the back row, people won't focus on them as much.
From all your experience with operating the LMC Blog, you knew that the main element in this video being successful, was already covered... People pay attention to attractive guys!
A tapping on your shoulder, caused you to face Lukas, who, as you previously instructed, brought you the final element to this. COSTUMES!!!
You began to distribute out the costumes to the five boys, just simple white T-shirts and grey jeans. The idea was to dress them in average and boring clothing, to give their personalities an extra edge; attractive, poor male Disney character, sorta vibe.
You: setting up the camera O'right. Ready guys?
Time to change all our lives.... Welcome to the Octopus's garden.
Opening sentences and title, from the song 'Octopus's Garden', by the Beatles.
