"Wait, we don't have a jeremy's dad." Ro pointed out.

"And I don't see choe anywhere." Allia added

"You literally just said you didn't care what we sang," Asura pointed out.

(Hi sorry, had to vanish again) Michael walked over to Charlie. "You wanna give Buddy back? He is kinda heavy."

"I was lying." Ro whined

ALlia looked over at micheal. "Hey can you fill in for Jeremy's Dad, Jake and Chloe, Micheal?"

"Y-yeah" Charlie struggled to pull Buddy off of her shoulders because of noodle-arms. "A lit-ttle help-p h-here please"

Michael took the snake and stowed him in his backpack again. "Uh…I'm really, really bad at on-stage stuff, but uh I guess I could fill in."

"Thanks." Allia grinned

"Well then don't say it in the first place," he said.

"I-i can try-y and help too if you want I guess-ss" Charlie offered, trying to control her nerves.

He fumbled through his script, suddenly nervous. "Um, we're doing the finale right?"

"Yup." Cam took out the script. "I guess Micheal starts."

"You don't have to if you don't want to," Asura said to Michael, noticing that he seemed anxious.

He flashed a smile. "Uh, I'm good. I'm just really bad at acting stuff so fair warning."

"So are a lot of people in this play. But I won't say any names because I don't want to offend anybody right now."

Michael smiled again. Maybe this wouldn't be that bad

"We're doing 'Voices in my head', right?"

"Yeah." Cam said, figuring out where his first line was.

"Oh-hh it's ok-kay Asur-ra. I know I'm not, not that good" Charlie admitted

"Okay, that means Mike is up first, since you're filling in for Jeremy's dad." He then turned to Charlie. "I didn't mean you, mostly because I haven't seen you act, so don't even worry about it."

"Um, yeah, lemme find my line."

"You gotta buy her a rose, compliment her on her clothes," he started, half mumbling and half singing

Charlie shuffled her feet and stared at the ground. She didn't want to openly disagree with Asura of all people, but she knew she wasn't that good. Just listen to her talk normally and one could guess her acting skills were a 0 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Asura sang his line loudly, but a bit off key, trying to get people to laugh and maybe have some people loosen up. "Say you appreciate that she's smart."

Michael stifled a snort at the off-key singing. He started to tap his foot, starting to get into the music
