Chapter the Second
The play was a royal success! The lights shone brighter, the microphones picked up more sound, The House was electrified as never before! The power of the First Crew that grew with their age affected everyone; and, for two nights, Maturity and Dignity infused the stage where Chaos and Oppression had ruled the rehearsals. Citizens of every rank came from throughout the land to watch the spectacular talent displayed onstage. The actors were fearless, and delivered their lines masterfully. The crew...why, my friends, the First Crew was nothing less than spectacular! They changed the scenes rapidly and skillfully, and, like the gracious leaders they were, even assisted the lowly freshmen, for the good of Drama Land. T was there as well, cheering on her fellow First Crew and the talented actors they assisted. She dressed in the royal black, as a matter of course.
The evil Queen Lucy was there too, however. She was watching every move the First Crew made, eager to catch them in any fault. Of course you know that the noble teenagers could do no wrong, so the wicked Queen laid in wait, discouraged that her plans were being so foiled...even as she concocted another plot to trip up the courageous First Crew. One down, five to go.....
The remaining Royal Drama Teacher and the First Crew, together with the actors and other crews, created the most triumphant performance to date in the most revered auditorium in Drama Land. But, as always...our heroes are never finished!
There is yet work for these noble Six
There are curtains to pull, and props to fix.
There shall be a musical at the beginning of spring
And all of the actors shall practice and sing
Despite Queen Lucy's watchful gaze
They'll slowly but surely take back their stage
And when T rejoins them, they'll be good as new
But no matter what happens...they are the First Crew!
FARE THEE WELL, MY FRIENDS, AND RALLY BEHIND...
THE FIRST CREW!
