I liiiiiiiive! Hey, I'm back. Be afraid, I'm writing again!

This is my semi-promised "sequel" to Twelfth Night, my Fire Emblem-meets-Shakespeare story. This time, I actually have a sort of plan of what's going to happen, as opposed to my last let's-make-it-up-as-I-go-and-hope-people-don't-mob-me-in-the-streets plan. My first chapter is very short, and there is more, very important stuff for all you readers to read at the bottom. Please pay attention to my footnote, and be sure to RR!

Disclaimer: Don't own FE, and Shakespeare is dead, so I can't own him. Don't own his works either.

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

"Yes! YES!" Hector yelled, jumping up from his seat and running for the door, pausing only to dump his schoolbooks in the trash.

Summertime had begun.

"Aah… what a lovely day," Hector said cheerfully as he walked home accompanied by his posse, the "Elite" of Ostian High School. Beside him walked his girlfriend Lyn, her shy shadow Florina and her two sisters Farina and Fiora, his best friend Eliwood and his melancholy girlfriend Ninian. Oh yeah, Nils was there too, because he just couldn't annoy Hector enough in school.

"So what are you guys planning on doing this summer?" Fiora asked. Fiora had a schedule for everything, even, apparently, summertime.

"Plan?" Hector asked scornfully. "I don't PLAN my summer. I enjoy it."

"You really should have a schedule," Fiora said, eyeing him disapprovingly. "Otherwise you're just wasting time."

"She's right Hector," Lyn said, siding with the older girl. "What should we do over the summer?"

"Um…" Florina tried to say something.

"I don't like planning to do things during the summer!" Hector complained.

"Too bad!" Lyn snapped.

"Um…"

"Hey, you guys!" Eliwood jumped in. "No good getting on each others nerves now!"

"Um…"

"Shut up, Eliwood."

"Um…"

"Hector! Apologize to Eliwood!"

"Um…"

"Shut up, Lyn."

"Um…"

"What is it Florina?" Lyn asked, finally noticing her friends' attempts to talk.

"Um… well…" Florina said in a tiny voice, "I heard, um, that, that… that the local theatre was putting on a play this summer… and, they were going to have auditions…"

"NO!" Hector said, putting his arms up to form an X. "Ixnay! Nine! I refuse to be part of another play! That one for school was bad enough without me having to volunteer my SUMMER to be in one!" Florina yelped and looked down, beat red and miserable.

"Hector!" Fiora and Lyn admonished at the same time, both rushing to comfort Florina. "Be nice!" Lyn continued. "It could be fun!"

"Yeah, so could a root canal!"

"Hector!" Lyn's eyes flashed dangerously.

"I am NOT going, and that is final!"

The week after the end of school, Hector was back. Again.

He stood behind Lyn as she scribbled her name down on the sign-up sheet, and handed the pen to him. Hector sighed and grumbled, and bent over the sheet as Lyn shot daggers into his back.

"I can't BELIEVE it took so much effort to get you down here, Hector!" She ranted. "It's not like it's the end of the world – you're just signing up to be in a summer play! It's only for a month and a bit! Not long at all! And who knows, you might be discovered and become famous or something!"

"Not very likely." Hector grunted at he threw the pen down. "Number one, I don't want to be discovered, and number two, I want to enjoy my summer vacation. Working, especially working for free, does not rate high on my "list of things I want to do for my summer vacation."

"Oh, Hector," Lyn began, winding up to blast his theory, but Hector grabbed her wrist and started pulling her down the hall.

"C'mon," he grunted again, walking down the hall. "I don't want to have to be here any more then I have to."

Outside the school doors the sun was bright, almost blinding after the darker halls of the school. Hector squinted and made his way to his car, parked somewhere near the back. He'd parked there hoping that by the time he and Lyn got to the school doors, she would have changed her mind and let him leave and have his summer as he wanted it. Obviously, it hadn't worked. His only hope now was that the people organizing the whole thing would loose his number and not call him or something.

"I wonder what the play is," Lyn was saying as they got into the car. "It didn't say on the sign-up sheet."

Hector grunted in reply.

Lyn glared at him then continued talking to fill up the space. "At least we'll be accurately placed in the play, since Ms. Spencer's the one who's organizing it again."

"Ms. Spencer?" Hector looked at Lyn, pained.

"Honestly, Hector! Don't you READ?"

"No. I've got you to tell me. Why should I read?"

Lyn growled something, than swallowed her reply. "Ms. Spencer is the one who's doing the casting and things, and there was a separate sheet for backstage and stuff. If you'd read that you could've signed up for that."

"No thanks," Hector replied, shaking his head. "Backstage is even more work then acting." Lyn rolled her eyes as Hector continued. "I wonder why she's doing this again; I mean, you'd think this year's play would be enough to drive her away."

Lyn made a noise of disgust, and the two spent the rest of the drive in silence.

Throughout the rest of the day and the next, students came by, signing their names on the three sheets spread out for that purpose. Acting, Backstage, and Lighting/Sound gathered names until the school doors were locked at the end of the second day.

Two people knocked on the door, trying to attract the attention of the janitor within. Finally, the front doors were unlocked, and the two figures let in. Quickly, they gathered up the three sheets of paper and left, leaving the janitor glaring after them and grumbling about idiot people who can't come during normal school hours.

Seated at a kitchen table, the two figures bent over the paper, thinking about the students signed up, and the parts available.

"I think Matthew'd be great as Puck," one of them said, pointing to the thief's name.

"Hmm…" the other examined the paper for a moment, than nodded. "I agree. And I think we should move Erk from backstage to Special Effects."

"Heh," the first one laughed. "That would be interesting. Now, what else can we do…?"

I know this is really short; this story's having a hard time getting off the ground. But I wrote something! I wrote something!

Sorta T.T
