Though I would start getting into position too if I were you two. “Make sure to grab your instruments on the way.” The three kids nodded their compliance and began to climb out of the pen as the man turned to address Aaron. “I just came to give you your fifteen-minute warning! Holly, Margot, Kevin – start making your way over to stage left. “There you are!” The principal let out a sigh of relief, as he scrunched up his nose at the smell of the nine animals. As he began to make his way over to him in order to comfort him, Principal Rodriguez rounded a corner and appeared at the far end of the stable, just behind Aaron’s three friends. “Good,” Marcello replied, noting that – even from where he stood – the boy still looked preoccupied. You nailed the rehearsals, you’ll knock this out of the park. “As I’ll ever be,” Aaron replied, flashing the young man a quick smile. Meeting Aaron’s eyes across the pen, he asked, “Are you ready?” “Not long now!” Marcello exclaimed from where he stood beside Kevin, Holly, and Margot at the far side of stable. Thunderous applause echoed throughout the musical hall at that moment as a particularly upbeat musical number came to an end. “Hey, Billy.” He gently patted the goat’s soft head.
In turn, Aaron couldn’t help but smile at the animal.
Billy the baby goat seemed to sense the inner turmoil that was torturing him at that moment, for he padded over to the edge of the stable and stood up on his hind legs to peer at Aaron with concern.

(And they knew, if worse came to worst, one of the chaperones or the stagehands would come to retrieve them before they missed their entrance.)Īaron still felt extremely bitter over the fact that Principal Rodriguez had interrupted he and Holly when they were about to kiss on the stage earlier, beneath the mistletoe hanging high above them in the rafters, and as he surveyed the pretty girl playing with the two donkeys – Nestor and Eeyore – he wondered if he’d get another chance like that again anytime soon. None of them were worried about missing their cues, for even as far removed from the stage as they were, they could still hear the show loud and clear thanks to the acoustics of the space in addition to the speakers placed high above their heads. Kevin, Holly, and Margot were with them as well, and Aaron watched from outside the pen as Marcello supervised his three friends fawning over the animals within it.
