The Lost Libretto- Prologue

The Lost Libretto

"Alright everyone! 5 minutes until curtain!! Remember, this is our first sold out show! Let's not keep the people waiting around and absolutely NO MISTAKES!" the director was running about the backstage area, practically shouting the same thing at the actors and everyone else with the exception of the orchestra who were already in the depths of the pit, warming their instruments for the upcoming craziness of tonight's show.
A young blonde swiveled around in her chair near her vanity, her excitement palpable by everyone near her.
"Oh my gosh!! This is going to be AMAZING!!!!" the blonde squealed excitedly.
"Hold still or your going to look like a raccoon." A brunette scolded, holding the younger girl's chin as she tried to finish up the last layer of eyeliner on the blonde's top lids.
The blonde waved her hand in front of her friend's face, trying to get her attention.
"Um….Earth to Miku~"
"OH! Um, sorry Rinny I was just…" the teal haired lady nervously rubbed the back of her head.
"You're not nervous are ya?" Rin maneuvered herself around the woman in front of her to look at the newest addition to the cast.
"Child I swear if you don't stop moving…" Harshly, the woman forced Rin to sit as she fixed her hair.
"Meiko, I think Gumi needs more help than I do." Rin huffed, annoyed obviously.
"THREE MINUTES PEOPLE!!! PLACES!!" the director's voice echoed around the backstage.
"Well, that's your cue Miku, you know your lines right?"
"Yes, Mei."
"And you warmed up your voice properly?"
"YES, Mei…"
"And you-"
"Yes and yes." Miku picked herself up from the chair and hurried over to the edge of the stage on the other side. "Thank you for the help~ I won't let you guys down!" the teal haired lead called over her shoulder gleefully.
A few seconds passed and finally the two girls picked themselves up, chatting about random things they were looking forward to this time as they went along with the play as they had for many nights.
Finally, the time came for their little show of madness to begin. The buzzer sounded, the curtains came up and the orchestra started their medley. The set was casually slid into place, everything as it always was.
But tonight something was different, none could place their finger on it but it was something that would definitely change everyone- for better or for worse.
