After practicing and my other two classes, it was play time. I was excited but nervous.

"Ready?" Hiccup asked me as we walked to the theatre here at school.

"Sorta," I said and he grabbed my hand.

"Well...leasts go help Punzie set up," Hiccup said and I nodded.

:•:•:•:•:

Soon Lunch came, YAY.

"You guys ready for the play?" I asked

"Yep," they all said

"So let's all remember who is who..." Hiccup said "Start Elsa,"

"Hermia," I said

"Lysander," Hiccup said

"Helena," Merida said

"Puck," Jack said

"Theseus," Eugene said

"Hippolyta," Rapunzel said

"Okay..." Hiccup said

"You know if Anna will be in it?" Rapunzel asked

"She is," I said

"Who is she going to play?" Merida asked

"Titania," I said

Once we finished eating we all headed to the theatre here at school.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," a teacher said walking up on stage.

"We welcome you to tonight's play-Midsummer Night's Dream!" She said and walked off.

"Act 1, Scene 1," the announcer said while Rapunzel and Eugene walked on stage.

"Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour
Draws on apace. Four happy days bring in
Another moon. But oh, methinks how slow
This old moon wanes! She lingers my desires,
Like to a stepdame or a dowager
Long withering out a young man's revenue," Eugene said

"Four days will quickly steep themselves in night.
Four nights will quickly dream away the time.
And then the moon, like to a silver bow
New bent in heaven, shall behold the night
Of our solemnities," Rapunzel said

"Go, Philostrate,
Stir up the Athenian youth to merriments.
Awake the pert and nimble spirit of mirth.
Turn melancholy forth to funerals.
The pale companion is not for our pomp," Eugene said showing Chance

Chance exited stage.

"Hippolyta, I wooed thee with my sword
And won thy love doing thee injuries.
But I will wed thee in another key,
With pomp, with triumph, and with reveling," Eugene continued

The boy playing Egeus, myself, Hiccup and the boy playing Demetius came on stage.

"Happy be Theseus, our renownèd duke," the boy playing Egeus said

"Thanks, good Egeus. What's the news with thee?" Eugene asked

"Full of vexation come I with complaint
Against my child, my daughter Hermia.-
Stand forth, Demetrius.-My noble lord,
This man hath my consent to marry her.
Stand forth, Lysander.-And my gracious duke,
This man hath bewitched the bosom of my child.-
Thou, thou, Lysander, thou hast given her rhymes,
And interchanged love tokens with my child.
Thou hast by moonlight at her window sung
With feigning voice verses of feigning love,
And stol'n the impression of her fantasy
With bracelets of thy hair, rings, gauds, conceits,
Knacks, trifles, nosegays, sweetmeats-messengers
Of strong prevailment in unhardened youth.
With cunning hast thou filched my daughter's heart,
Turned her obedience (which is due to me)
To stubborn harshness.-And, my gracious duke,
Be it so she will not here before your grace
Consent to marry with Demetrius,
I beg the ancient privilege of Athens.
As she is mine, I may dispose of her-
Which shall be either to this gentleman
Or to her death-according to our law
Immediately provided in that case," the boy playing Egeus said
