'Phew, deep breaths, Faye...Deep breaths..'

The sixteen year old sat in one of the make up chairs as she was repeating this calming mantra over and over again in an attempt to keep herself centered. Much like everyone backstage getting ready, the nerves were definitely buzzing amongst those around her and she was no exception to that feeling. If it wasn't for her practices with meditation she'd probably be having a panic attack right about now, especially since it was the opening night of the show!

Though it was likely all nerves understandably, there was for sure excitement within that for the sixth year. From auditioning, to the beginning of the rehearsals, staging, costumes, memorization of lines, to lighting and adding the little details that would really make the show come alive; all leading to this very moment, it was all so very thrilling.

Plus, working with such an amazing gaggle of people in this production was merely the cherry on top you might say. And...perhaps some were more enjoyable for that matter than she was expecting, or better yet one particular someone.....

......Teddy James......Or Mr. Darling...

The very thought of him made Faye smile warmly as the memories of their time rehearsing with one another, and spending so much time together came flooding back to her. He truly surprised her with how talented he was ever since he'd auditioned all those months ago. She felt very fortunate to be able to work along side him as Mrs. Darling and as a pirate too! Their bond had already been rather close to begin with, but this play just felt like everything solidified that for her. And she couldn't be happier for that. But please do not mistake this particular thought from Faye, she was very happy to be able to work with everyone and form this comradery; family dynamic.

Just as she was thinking of these things, it was Teddy himself calling together a group circle for everyone, which she did not hesitate making her way over towards him and the rest of the group. Naturally moving to stand beside him as he began to address everyone in the most endearing manner. Her smile very bright as he spoke feeling the encouragement from him, as well as their amazing Peter Pan herself; Ivy! Once finished, she easily slipped her hand into Teddy's giving it a squeeze before saying, "Could you be any more inspiring?" Truly, this was such an amazing group of people and Faye was already dreading the end of it.

The Hufflepuff's attention was then on their noble leader, Captain Hook, Kale as he was also adding in his own special flair to encourage the group which in no way surprised her at this point. It was one of the many joyous things about Mr. Kale Trent. He was just simply the best honestly. "Well said, Captain! ARGH!" It probably looked a little strange that she took on her pirate persona while dressed as the elegant Mrs. Darling, but she didn't seem to be bothered by it, sooo worry not!

"And if anyone needs help getting the rest of their costumes on or need help locating props; though they should already be set; I am more than willing to help to the best of my abilities.." Well, it seemed that Faye's naturally nurturing nature was just being exemplified now that she was actually playing a motherly role. She just wanted to make sure everything and everyone was alright? Alright.

Just as she was feeling really excited now from all of these kinds words, this unfortunately would not last very much longer as Faye suddenly turned at the sound of Healer Poppy suddenly backstage trying to....rush everyone to their places? Why? Shouldn't the Headmaster be the one that should be telling everyone to get in their places? It didn't make very much sense, and why was there seeming to be an urgency from Healer Poppy to rush everyone in this manner? "I'm sure we still have some time Healer Poppy, as Phoebe said, no one has made the announcement..."

This was.....odd...and suspicious...
