"One hour! One hour till showtime!" Dusk called out as she walked around backstage, carrying a clipboard in her hands. For weeks, she had been putting together a show based on a new version of SIX the musical, a musical she considered to be one of the greatest. The only difference between this production and the original show was that instead of having female leads, it had male leads. Thus, making it a gender-bent version.
Finding the right men to play the parts wasn't easy, but she managed to find and convince the right people, including her twin brother, who didn't like musicals in the slightest bit. "Dusk! You need to head to the dressing rooms! We have a problem!" A frantic Aidan called out to her, making her turn sharply on her heel. "What's the problem?" She asked. The Gallagher boy led her to the dressing room, where the rest of the cast gathered around one of her boyfriends, Klaus Hargreeves.
"Klaus? Is everything alright?" She asked, stooping down next to him. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, and it was almost like he had no voice at all. "I think he lost his voice. One minute he was giggly and chatty, and the next he's like... this," Louis explained as Klaus kept pointing to his throat and mouthing something Dusk couldn't understand. "Here, use this!" She grabbed a nearby notebook and pen handed it to him. He scribbled on the paper furiously, flipping it over so everyone could see.
"I can't sing tonight,"
Everyone let out collective gasps, wondering what they were going to do with the show starting in almost an hour now. "We can't just cancel it! Everyone from Imaginative and Glorious Isle has come here to watch the show!" Quigley spoke up. "There's no SIX the Musical without a Katherine Howard! Somebody has to step in for Klaus!" Aidan mentioned.
While everyone else was trying to come up with an Islander who could take Klaus's place, Five slowly turned his head towards his sister, knowing exactly who could fill in the role. "Guys, just shut up! I think I know just the right person to fill in the role," Five raised his voice, returning his gaze to Dusk. Soon, everyone in the room began to look at her, having the same idea as the Hargreeves boy.
"Wait, you're not seriously considering me to play Katherine, are you?" She gaped. "Dusk, it's you or nobody. Everyone is waiting for an amazing show. You're the only one who can save the show," Quigley nodded his head. "B-but if I do it, then it won't make any sense! I cast all boys for the show! What will people think when they see me up there?" Five placed a firm hand on his sister's shoulder, telling her to listen to him.
"It doesn't matter what other people think. They may be a bit confused given the last-minute circumstances, but they'll still love the show nevertheless. Please sis, say you'll do it?" Five said, with a hint of pleading in his voice. Dusk closed her eyes for a moment, picturing herself stepping into Katherine's shoes for this One Night Only event. "Okay, I'll do it," She sighed, a smile coming onto her face. All the guys cheered and gave one another a big group hug before going back to finish getting ready.
