Chapter 4

JON

Jon was disappointed when they had to move their production of The Phantom of the Opera due to a request made by the Historical Society to have a special presentation before Foundation Week to prevent inaccuracies in the portrayal of an important chapter of Westerosi History, much to Robb's delight but still Jon, Dany and Ms. Christia kept teaching and giving him voice lessons so that he can hold his own in a cast of double threat performers like Dany and Jon. Dany had been absent for a week before the change of schedule due to a fever and Prof. Lannister assigned Jon to help Dany with everything that she missed. They were dangerously close to their opening performance of Blackfyre. Still, they have yet to cast a Daeron II, a Daenerys and a Maron Martell. Jon had been coaching Dany for their upcoming play and he was quite excited to have another catch up lesson with her since she has been greatly improving. He was on his way to the music rooms when he saw Ygritte, one of his best friends glaring at Dany

"Look who it is, Daenerys Targaryen. You think you're really something, don't you?" Ygritte seethed

"I am someone. Not a thing. So if you'll excuse me I've got to get class" Dany said

"Stay away from Jon Stark" Ygritte said

"How can I he's my classmate and I can't blame him if he has to teach me the things I missed" Dany said trying to get away from her

"You think you're smart just because you have the Targaryen fortune behind your back" Ygritte said shoving Dany to the lockers a bit too hard not letting her get away

"Ygritte, Back off! What the hell is your problem?" Jon yelled as he helped Dany up

"No, Jon. What is your problem? You're ditching your real friends to hang out with this slut and now you're siding with her too." Ygritte accused

"She is not a slut and I really have been busy with school work. I got a lot on my plate with the school plays, dealing with my family, and the pressure of being a scholar. You antagonizing my only classmate it is not helping me at all. And before I forget, maybe it's you who should stay away from now on, Ygritte. You don't know anything about her." Jon snapped as he led Dany away from the red head

"And you know nothing Jon Stark." she seethed as she left them

Robb was taking Julia to her next class when they saw Jon helping Dany and rushed to their side.

"Dany, are you alright? Jon asked concerned for the girl

"I'm sure that I'll be all right. It's just my back." Dany said

"What happened?" Robb asked

"Ygritte shoved Dany to a locker." Jon said

"Why?" Julia asked

"She wanted me to stay away from Jon." Dany said straightening up when she hissed.

"Are you sure that you're okay, Dany?" Robb asked

"I'm fine you two. Please stop. Jon, can we go to the auditorium now ?" Dany asked

"Sure. Here, let me take your books" Jon offered

"Thank you, Jon" Dany smiled

"Break a leg guys" Julia wished for them

"Catch you guys later. I'll just take this one to her classroom. Professor Lannister required his class to watch the preview of Blackfyre." Robb said

"Later Robb!" the two said

Preview Show

"Quentyn! This is Blackfyre not Giant. Quit trying to be James Dean because when you try to imitate him, I just want to punch you in the face!" Dany already in costume yelled as her violet eyes blazed beneath the mismatched blue and green contacts.

"You can punch me anytime, baby." Quentyn drawled as Dany walked passed him

"Oh Really?" Dany smiled, turning back and walking towards Quentyn and put her hands on his shoulders then planted a solid kick in the groin as he howled in pain.

Jon sniggered as he finished straightening his own white wig with a straightening iron and wearing the red contacts, Dany helped Jon with his make-up, making sure that the foundation that Jon was wearing was exactly a shade darker than his actual skin tone so that on stage he would look pale enough to pass as an albino and not washed out.

"Finished! My dear lover, kindly stand on stage in the follow spot, I want to make sure that you don't look like a ghost to the audience?" Dany asked flirtatiously

"Of course, my beautiful seastar" Jon said played along and added a kiss on Dany's nose.

The pair left the dressing rooms and Jon went straight to the stage standing in the spotlight as if he belonged there while Dany went to the back of the auditorium just at the row in front of the entrance and exit. When she looked at Jon and was in awe of what she saw.

"Dany, are you okay?" Jon asked

No answer

"Am I ghostlike or albino-like?" Jon asked again

Again no answer

"Am I that pale to send you into a catatonic state?" Jon huffed

"No, no, no I just lost myself for a while there. Not patting myself in the back or anything but Gods! Jon you looked amazing. Wow, Jon you are Brynden Rivers born again. Now all you need is the costume." Dany breathed

"You think so" Jon smiled

"Yes! Now, come on, my love! Let's get you in costume." Dany shrieked excitedly pulling him back to the dressing rooms

"Hey, Dany do I look like a Blackfyre now?" Gendry appeared sporting a black jerkin beneath the Blackfyre surcoat, black breeches, boots, and wearing a platinum blonde wig and deep purple contacts. Dany looked at Gendry and saw the smile of her great aunt Rhaelle Targaryen in his face.

"Did you know that your paternal great-grandmother was my grandfather's sister? That makes me your father's cousin and your aunt. Oh, that bit of Targaryen blood serves you well and maybe a bit of foundation to make you look pale." Dany suggested

"Thanks, Auntie" Gendry smiled and did what was suggested. When he finished, he had Dany look at him again and she responded.

"Good Heavens! Now you can say that you're Aegon I the Conqueror."

"How about me, my sweet Daenerys do I look like a Blackfyre?" Quentyn asked as he appeared with a platinum blonde wig, purple eyes and the Blackfyre/Bracken shield.

"First of all I'm not your sweet Daenerys. Second, you absent-minded Frog, if you paid close attention to the history books you would know that Aegor Rivers is black-haired. Third and last, if you call me by any other name other than my given name again, I'll make sure that my brother gelds you." Dany pointed out to him and yanked off the wig.

With that Jon laughed as he put on his costume and grabbed the weirwood bow and the replica of the Valyrian steel sword Dark Sister. At that moment Renly appears with a white-blonde, curly haired girl named Amnita Kalchirus, a dark haired, sky blue eyed young man named Pyetro de Leon and a blonde haired young man with a named William Hill and introduced them to the cast.

"Amnita of the Visual Arts Department will be playing the first Daenerys Targaryen since Dany or our own Daenerys, Second of Her name is playing her ancestor Shiera Seastar while William of the Law Department will be playing Daeron the Good and our very own Music and Arts pioneer alumni Pyet here, will be playing Maron of House Martell. They already know their lines and Dany would you be so kind to assist them with their make-up and costumes? The members of the Historical society are here to watch and critique the performance. Let's not disappoint them. We have 30 minutes till show time. So chop, chop, people we have work to do." Renly smiled

"Of course sir" Dany replied

"And Daenerys wonderful job getting these boys in costume and I dare say, you look like a million" Renly winked

"Thank you, sir" Dany smiled as Renly left. She turned and examined the trio of newcomers

"Amnita and –" Dany began

"Please call me Will" Will said

"Alright, then call me Dany. Now since you two are natural blondes, both of you only need purple contact lenses while Pyetro will have to wear brown contacts. Your costumes are at those dressing rooms, boys on the left and girls on the right. Hurry, get changed! I'll do your make-up." Dany said

Dany and Jon worked together to help their cast mates get ready for the previews. When they finished performing, the Historical Society panel had a field day with all the errors regarding one actor. They requested that Quentyn Martell be replaced by a taller actor but Renly was against it because they've already began production. However, they made a compromise which required Quentyn to wear boots with added heels.
