His Shining Star

7

As the scenes continue, it was my big solo. I was nervous, but maintained my worries in my head and began to continue on with the show.

(Elle:)
I don't have a sunny disposition.
I'm not known for being too amused.
My demeanor's locked in one position.
See my face? I'm enthused.
Suddenly, however, I've been puzzled.
Bunny rabbits make me want to cry.
All my inhibitions have been muzzled,
And I think I know why.
I'm being pulled in a new direction,

This song has some sort of meaning. I get the flashbacks of Sebastian and I together. Our both on and off stage chemistry we have with each other. It was something that not a lot of performers had. Maybe there was still some flame that won't go away. He knows more about me than Jason does. He knows when I'm nervous or happy or sad or even when I'm not myself.

But I think I like it.
I think I like it.
I'm being pulled in a new direction.
Through my painful pursuit,
Somehow birdies took root.
All the things I detested impossibly cute.
God! What do I do?
Pulled

Jason on the other hand makes me feel like I have a future and I won't ever be alone. He fills those gaps that was left into pieces. He's very kind hearted and full of light.

Mother always said be kind to strangers,
But she doesn't know what they destroy.
I can feel the clear and present dangers,
When she learns that the boy
Has got me pulled in a new direction,
But I think I like it.
That was good! That was good!
I think I like it.
Do it again! Do it again!

On the contrary, Sebastian and I have passion and something in my heart yearns for him. Yet again, it is so wrong for me to do so.

I'm being pulled in a new direction,
But this feeling, I know is impossible,
So I'll confide that I've tried but I can't let it go.
It's disgustingly true!
Pulled, pulled, pulled!
Puppy dogs with droopy faces,
Unicorns with dancing mice,
Sunrise in wide open spaces,
Disney World, I'll go there twice!
Butterflies and picnic lunches,
Bunches of chrysanthemums,
Lollipops and pillow fights and Christmas eve,
Sugar plums!
String quartets and Chia Pets,
And afternoon banana splits,
Angels watching as I sleep,
And Liberace's Greatest Hits!
Have got me pulled in a new direction!
If they keep insisting, I'll stop resisting.
Just watch me pulled in a new direction.
I should stay in the dark,

Okay, I need to stop disputing this. Jason is the love of my life. No more arguing with myself. He is who I am meant to be with... at least... I hope so.

Not obey every spark,
But the boy has a bite,
Better far than his bark!
And you bet I'll bite too,
Do what's truly taboo,
As I'm pulled in a new direction!

After the number, we transitioned over to the next scene where it was Lucas being introduced into the whole show. The crew all quickly transitioned the sets as the lights went out. We then, set it up. As the lines went on, it was the leading scene when Lucas arrives.

"Sorry I'm late. I was putting the apple pie on the window to cool." Idina entered with a apron on her costume.

"That's my little women. A duchess in the parlor and a genius in the kitchen." Dominic grins as he walks over and kisses Idina.

"Oh Gomez," Idina Moans.

"And a gymnast in the bedroom." He added.
Idina follows the script and nudges him.

"So very pleased to meet you, Mr. Beineke." She shakes Ben's hand.

"Mrs. Addams..." he proceeds.

"Mrs. Beineke." Idina acknowledges.

"Alice." Lillian smiles like the way this character would as she curtsies.

"Alice. And you must be Lucas. What a lovely name..." she turns to Sebastian.

"Thanks! I was named after my uncle who got lost in the woods and who ate his own leg." Sebastian acts rather excited and dorky.

"They don't need to know that story." Ben let out a glare at Sebastian.

"No, no... it's a beautiful story." She grins. "Wednesday has a cousin who not his own tongue off... hes tolk lak dis..." she mimics the sounds.

"Thank you... Mother...." I interrupted as I came from back stage in a bright yellow dress.

"Hi, I'm Wednesday." I introduced my character.

"What are you wearing?" Idina questions.

"A dress." I snipped.

"A yellow dress." She acts shocked.

The scenes continued to go on, we began to get into other scenes. It was intense. We got to scene 6 where it was just Lucas and Wednesday.

I was pacing as Sebastian walks in. "You know they are going to freak when we tell them." He points out.

"My father won't." I states.

"Why not?"

"I already told him." I broke the long pause.

"What? You told your father?! Your father who owns a sword? You told him we were getting married, just like that!" He exclaimed.

"He's totally cool with it... mostly."

"I thought we were gonna tell them together?" He wrapped his arms around me.

"We need his help. You don't know my mother. She could totally screw it up." I added.

"I'm not marrying your mother." He jokes.

"I know. Look—it seems old fashioned, but I do want their blessing."

"You're right it is old fashioned." He winked.

"Lucas, do you love me?"

"Of course." He looked me in the eyes.

"Then leave it to me. It's all going according to plan." I placed my hands in Sebastian's.

"What plan? There is no plan!" He exclaimed.

"There's a plan. Improvise. Keep them guessing." I reassured him.

"You're really crazy." He grins.

"You day it like it's a bad thing. It's just a simple dinner. What could go wrong? Come on." I smirked as we quickly kissed and made our way off stage.
