Title: Another Play (the begining of scene four)
Author: Me
Rating: pg-13 for language.
Summery: Don't even ask, more randomness brought to you by Fay, and the cast of my nanonovel.
Notes:I really don't want to write another play, so I started complaining about that, so I made a play out of it.
Disclaimer: HA I OWN THEM ALL

Scene Four

Still in the office, the table is gone, but the character’s are huddled around on left stage this includes Fay, Matthew, Austin, Bev, Alex, REL, PW is sitting at the desk, asleep with her head in her hands.  They’re holding a whispering conversation.

Matthew: Should we wake her up?

REL: She’s been up for days.

Bev: But the deadline!

REL: I don’t care, she still needs to sleep.

PW: with out looking up I can hear you.

REL: rushes over, you should sleep, in your bed. It’ll be better that way. You’ll get more sleep.

PW: groggy I don’t need sleep I need to finish writing this. Deadlines deadlines deadlines.

REL: That’s silly, you need sleep.

PW: no sleep, writing. See. Turns the laptop towards REL.

Matthew: I think we should act out another scene for you, than you can get work done, with out actually working.

They looked at him rather questionably.

PW: You’re logic and Sanity are questionable Matthew.

Mathew: Laughing, You knew that already.

Fay enters

Fay: mockingly after all, you designed him.

Matthew: Yeah, but she sure put a lot more effort in to me than she ever did to you.

PW: That’s true, I made him way back in eighth grade, he was around for two years before I had any idea you’d ever be around.

Fay: Yeah, but how often did you use him?

PW: He was in my first completed Novel.

Fay: Which was utter crap, I’ve read it.

PW: And how exactly have you done that?

Fay: I wonder around your house when your not there, not to mention you’re computer, after you banned me from the writing process I had to do something.

PW: That novel was destroyed in a flood last summer, and it was never on the computer.

Fay: mockingly oh how sad.

PW: You go away.

Fay: no. I’m bored.

Bev: We don’t care, your insufferable to, and you are not helpful.

Fay: I could be helpful, if you would just write me in to your novel

Bev: you would be a protagonist.

Matthew: Perhaps you’re the girl who attached Gab’s truck! There, you’re in the novel.

PW: nonono, it’s not in Fay’s character to do something like that.

Fay; I should say not.

PW: You’re still awfully bitchy. You’re just not violent.

Fay: wanna bet?

Pw: sure, I can make you do anything you want, I control what happens.

Fay: You do not.

Bev: um yeah, she kind of does.

Fay: You sound like a prep when you say that.

Austin: I thought we where going to try another scene from the book.

Fay: really? I wanna watch!

Fay walks over and plops her self on PW’s desk, in a pile of papers. And starts flipping threw one of the books.

PW: what scene do you have your heart set on?

Fay: how about Chapter seventeen?

Austin: Which ones that?

Fay: clears throat  In Which There Is What Should Have Been An Acuard Situation, A Sun Burned Beet, Bad Coffee, and A Good Book

Bev: Isn’t that the chapter where I walk in on Matthew and Austin making out?

Fay: triumphantly Yes!

Bev: to playwright Do we have to?

PW: Actually I think that would be a good scene to do. Lets. Looks around now where’s my scribe?

Scribe comes on and pushes Fay off the desk. Stage goes dark.

PW: Ok, so stage is set in the lounge, with a table, and a stack of strangers on the table. Are you writing that down?

Scribe: ok, ok. Typing

PW: Matthew and Austin are kissing behind the table, half hidden by a bookcase, add that there’s a bookcase to the stage directions.

Light’s come back up, there is a table, and a book case Austin and Matthew are standing half behind the bookcase, the bag’s they had before are sitting on the table. The PW is sitting next to the computer on the desk, the scribe is at the desk, Alex and REL are sitting on one side of the desk, Fay is sitting on another, glaring at them. Austin and Matthew are looking expectantly and PW.

PW: awkwardly Ok, so you to are making out.

Matthew looks at her and shrugs, kisses Austin.

PW: BEVERLY.

Bev comes running on stage. Book in hand, bag over her shoulder.

PW: Go on, do the scene just as it is in the book.

Bev glances at the book, than looks up and says

Bev: Austin! Matthew!

Austin and Matthew jump apart, Matthew lands on the floor and Austin blushes bright red.

Austin: Oh. Um. Hello Bev. Is much more convincing than the first time.

Matthew: Austin! You’ve been practicing!

Austin: nods yes. It’s you’re line

Matthew:  looks at a book that’s beside him Hi! Sleep well Beverly?

Bev: Fine. Only slept for about 5 hours though.

PW: Ok, end it there.

Alex: there’s more to it though! And I haven’t gotten to do anything yet she pouts

PW: You got to deal for Garbage.

Alex: Oh bloody yey, I got to deal for garbage, someone alert the media.

PW: You’re impossible

Alex: you sound like Bev, and you are impossible.

They glare at each other

Matthew: whisper’s to Bev It’s like watching someone talk to them selves.

Bev nods and they go on staring.

PW: I can erase you, you know.

Alex: see I think that’s an empty threat.

PW: it is not! You said it you’re self, you don’t’ do anything but deal for garbage.

Alex: well I’m the life of this scene

Matthew: raises his hand actually I’d like to put in that that was probably Austin and I making out.

PW+Alex: Oh shut up Matthew!

They glare at each other the other’s laugh.

Bev: I guess it just proves that people who are to similar can’t get along

Matthew: And they are the same person.
