    A bright ray of sunlight fell across Joshua's face, waking him up on the first day of school after spring break. He rubbed his eyes to clear them of sleep, feeling peaceful and completely rested. Then his door flew open, causing him to nearly fall out of his bed. Jeonghan staggered into the room with one leg in his pajama pants and the other in his jeans, his eyes wild. "Joshua, we both overslept! I forgot to set my alarm because we didn't need one over break!""I forgot too!" Joshua threw himself out of bed, lunging for his closet. "I can't start the new quarter with a tardy! Mr. Ahlgren's gonna frown slightly at me when I come in. I can't take it!""Then hurry and maybe we can make it!" Jeonghan exclaimed. "Get your clothes on!" He hopped erratically out of the room, stumbling over his half-worn pajama legs. He passed a flummoxed Carat who squinted as the rush of air fluffed his fur a bit."Humans have weird problems, Carat." Joshua explained as he stripped out of his pajamas. He tugged on a pair of jeans, white t-shirt, and black flannel before looking at himself in the mirror. "You're a cool, confident kid now, Joshua." He said to hype himself up. "You thrive in the spotlight. Thrive!"Jeonghan reappeared in the doorway fully dressed and gasping for breath. "I never knew I could get dressed this fast. I had a, like, Matrix moment where everything was moving in slow motion.""Great!" Joshua grabbed his backpack. "Tell me how reality is a lie when we're in the car. I hope Seokmin didn't leave without us."They ran downstairs and Jeonghan threw the front door open. They sprinted across the lawn just as the sprinklers went off. "Watch out!""I don't need a surprise shower!" Joshua swerved to avoid a spritz of water but slipped on the wet grass. He wobbled but managed to steady himself. "Not today, grass! Take that! I'm not the same Joshua you knew from the beginning of the year! I always embarrass myself right before Seokmin shows up but not this time!""I wasn't exactly expecting you to embarrass yourself but congrats, Joshua."Joshua froze, slowly turning to see Seokmin waiting by his car. "I celebrated to soon." He sighed as he trudged over to his boyfriend. "D@mn it, I almost had it perfect. Just you watch. Within a year or two, I'll be walking outside like a normal person.""A year or two?" Jeonghan raised an eyebrow. "Why that long?"Before Joshua could answer, Seokmin said, "You two are so late, I was about to knock on your door to make sure you were alive." He gave Joshua a heart melting smile and kissed him on the cheek.Jeonghan cleared his throat. "Sorry to ruin the moment but we'd better hustle."Joshua nodded. "Jun's probably wondering what's taking us so long. Let's catch up in the car."They all piled into Carly and sped off so fast the tires squealed. "Whoa there, fast and furious!" Jeonghan exclaimed."This is too fast too furious!" Joshua gripped his seat under him."Not a lot I can do about that if we wanna make it to class on time." Seokmin pointed out.Soon, they screeched to a halt in front of Jun's mansion. Jun was already waiting by the curb, his mother scowling at his side. "Finally." Jun sighed in relief. "I was starting to worry you'd run into trouble on your way here.""Like what?" Joshua asked. "A cobra on legs?"Jun blinked. "A what?"Joshua shrugged. "I don't know. I just thought, cobras are scary so a cobra that could run would be even worse."Jun's mother crossed her arms and glared at him through the car window. "Are you trying to make my son late to school with this nonsense? And what took you so long to get here? You were supposed to pick him up 15 minutes ago.""Sorry!" Joshua said sheepishly. "It was my bad for oversleeping.""Mine too." Jeonghan said. "It won't happen again.""Have you idiots not heard of alarm clocks?""Mom, it's fine." Jun said.His mom took a deep breath and forced a sugary smile. "If you say so, sweetie. Have a nice day at school."Joshua blinked. "Wait what?"Jun hurried into the backseat. Seokmin took off once he was in, leaving his mom and the mansion in the dust. "Jun, since when does your mom listen to you? I was totally expecting her to start screaming at you." Jun just shrugged before smirking at Jeonghan as he tried to comb his rumpled bedhead with his fingers. "Yeah, I didn't wanna say anything, Jeonghan, but you kinda look like you just walked through a tornado." Seokmin said."Good thing musical tryouts aren't happening yet." Jeonghan mused. "I'd instantly land the Disheveled Weirdo part.""So you've decided you're auditioning for sure?" Joshua asked.Jeonghan nodded and smiled. "I've been meaning to branch out and you and Seokmin have finally sold me on seeing what all the fuss is about. I gotta put 110% into tryouts to make up for my lack of experience.""Auditions." Seokmin said. "The word you're looking for is auditions.""Auditions." Jeonghan said slowly. "This is gonna take some getting used to."After a few lucky green lights, they arrived at school in record time. The first bell rang just as Seokmin pulled into a parking spot. "We have five minutes!" Joshua exclaimed. "Gotta go fast!"Seokmin threw his seatbelt off and kissed Joshua on the cheek. "Run like the wind!"They all scattered in the parking lot and sprinted to their respective homerooms. Seungkwan called out to Joshua as he flew down the hallway. "What are you, trying to set a track record?""No time to chat!" Joshua called back. "If you're still not in class, you're gonna be late too!""My class is right around the corner!" Seungkwan exclaimed. "I'm fine!""I can't say the same!" Joshua hurriedly waved over his shoulder. "Bye!"Just as the second bell sounded, Joshua collapsed into his seat in Theatre Arts 1, panting heavily. "Morning…Seungcheol…I'm…safe…""You're drenched in sweat." Seungcheol said. "Here, I'll fan you with my notebook."Mr. Ahlgren tapped the podium for everyone's attention. "Before we begin today's lesson, I have exciting news about the spring musical! This May, we'll be performing a musical rendition of Shakespeare's The Tempest."Joshua raised his eyebrows. "Shakespeare as a musical?""West Side Story and The Lion King are musical adaptations of Shakespeare too." Mr. Ahlgren pointed out."I always forget that." Vernon said. "They're inspired by Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.""But those are based on Shakespeare." Joshua said. "Not the actual original play as a musical.""Don’t knock it til you've heard the score." Mr. Ahlgren beamed. "I'm sure you'll find our composer's adaptation of Shakespeare's words to song as extraordinary as I did." He moved on. "I have another announcement. For the first time ever, Bangtan High has been invited to compete at the prestigious Spotlite International Theatre Festival."A few students gasped and Seungcheol turned to Joshua with a hand over his mouth. "Spotlite? That's in Europe!"Joshua's eyes widened. "Holy cr@p, does that mean we're going on a school trip together?""If you're cast after auditions, yes." Mr. Ahlgren answered. "Everyone involved will stay in London for a week to debut the musical at the festival.""Spotlite's like the Cannes Festival of theatre!" Seungcheol exclaimed. "I can't believe we got invited!""I was told our impressive performance of The Enchanted Kingdom last fall played a significant role in it." Mr. Ahlgren explained."How are we going to afford flying everyone overseas?" Joshua asked.Chan shrugged. "Maybe the funds from that gold globe Soonyoung and Jihoon donated?"Mr. Ahlgren cleared his throat. "Their generous donation did make a dent but for the most part the money has been covered by a private donor."Joshua's eyes widened even more. "They must be loaded! I wonder who."***Joshua, Seokmin, Seungkwan, and Jun went to the greenhouse after school, jubilant over the news of the festival. Seokmin excitedly danced around while cheering. "Spotlite! We're performing at Spotlite!""I've always dreamed of attending and watching all the amazing plays in person." Joshua said. "I can't believe we're going to compete!"Seungkwan smirked. "Getting cocky now, are we? You still have to audition next week and snag a part."Jun nodded. "You two are getting a bit ahead of yourselves. Earth Seokmin and Joshua!""Hey, don't rain on my parade." Joshua said. "I'll practice my b@tt off and get a part for sure!""Personally, I wasn't sold on doing a Shakespeare musical until I heard the score." Seungkwan said. "Turning the epilogue into a song and working the audience's cheers into the composition? Genius. What's more, Namjoon Kim offered to work alongside me. He'll be directing the singing and doing all the musical arrangements."Joshua raised his eyebrows. "Namjoon volunteered for this? We had to do some pretty heavy duty convincing to get him onboard last time."Jun shrugged. "I'm sure getting flown out to London to compete at a prestigious festival had absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm shocked.""This is kinda silly but I'm excited to go to the airport and fly on a plane with you all." Seokmin said."You're excited for a 10-hour flight?" Jun asked in disbelief."I'm with Seokmin." Joshua smiled. "Plane rides are fun. We can watch so many in flight movies together.""You get me!" Seokmin grinned. "And we can play all the weird in-flight games like bowling and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!"Joshua nodded. "And we'll probably get an airplane meal."Seungkwan furrowed his eyebrows. "What's so great about airplane meals?""It's kind of funny how excited you two are for this." Jun mused.After laughing together and fantasizing about London for a while, Seungkwan and Jun had to head home, leaving Joshua and Seokmin to relax on the bench swing alone. Joshua rested his head on Seokmin's shoulder and peered up at him contentedly. "Not to sound even more cocky than before but I wonder if we'll win Spotlite.""I few do…" Seokmin inhaled deeply. "I don't wanna sound overly optimistic, but it'd be amazing if it helped kickstart my acting career. Tons of scouts come to Spotlite to recruit for professional productions. Even Broadway. If our performance is impressive enough, this could be both our big breaks." His phone suddenly buzzed, and he pulled it out to check it. "I gotta drive us home now." Seokmin sighed. "My mom needs the car for an appointment.""Already?" Joshua pouted. "I wanted to spend more time with you.""I was thinking the same thing." Seokmin mused. Then his eyes lit up. "Why don't you come over today? It's been a while since we've hung out at my place together.""Wanna play Berry Cart again?" Joshua suggested. "Or watch a movie?"Seokmin nodded. "A movie sounds good. We can microwave popcorn and watch The Princess Bride on my bed just like old times."Joshua smiled. "If you thought I'd pass up a chance to relive my childhood, you're dead wrong.""That's what I like to hear." Seokmin chuckled as he rose to his feet holding out a hand to help Joshua up. "To Carly!"***"Mom, Dad!" Seokmin called out as they entered the house. "Joshua's here!"Seokmin's mom cheered as the teenagers entered the kitchen. "It's always a delight to have you, Joshua!""Making a beeline to the instant popcorn I see." Seokmin's dad chuckled.Joshua smiled. "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Lee! It's nice to see you again.""Good because you're gonna see a lot more of us soon." Seokmin's mom mused. "We're chaperoning the London trip!""Nice." Joshua nodded. "So you'll get a free vacation."Seokmin's mom laughed. "I doubt it'll be quite that relaxing for the parents. You never know what'll go wrong on a school trip.""I once chaperoned a trip of Seokmin's where half the kids came down with the stomach flu." Seokmin's dad said."I remember that." Seokmin said. "I had to sleep in a chair because my friend threw up on my bed."Joshua grimaced. "If I get sick, I promise to not throw up."Seokmin laughed. "I don't think that's a promise you can reliably keep."His mom glanced at the clock and grabbed her purse from the counter. "I should get going to my appointment soon. Seokmin, keys!" Seokmin tossed the keys to his mom who caught them with a jingle."And I'll be doing errands in town." Seokmin's dad informed them. "Don't burn the house down while we're gone.""We'll keep our flamethrower juggling to a minimum." Joshua promised.'
