Here came the most dangerous part. As the music built to a creshendo, Alice launched herself towards West dressed as a guard. He was the only one strong enough for this. She used the carefully placed props to run up as steps and landed with one leg hooked over West's shoulder, one straight down his chest. As she hooked onto him, he spun and she felt him grip her so she could lean back. Her leg and his strong hands were all that kept her from crashing to the ground as he spun and she swung herslef to point her head to the floor and then straighten up again. They paused for a second and the lights went out, the blacklights revealing all the bright neon colours and white of her costume and the guards. It looked amazing as h***. West felt her unhook her leg and he threw her, the audience only seeing her fly back into a wall, the cushion hidden from view. Puck rolled back to her feet and ran back towards the wall as the guard came chasing after her. She did that action movie run up the wall to flip over the guard's shoulder, but he spun and 'backhanded her away'. Alice jumped back up, grinning madly though no one could see it. She loved this s***. The guys had been working with her nonstop to make sure she could do this scene safety, and it payed off now. West reached out to her and grabbed her hand and litterally spun her around as she hung off of him. He picked her up bridal style as the lgihts slowly came back on and it looked like she snapped his neck. He dropped to his knees, letting Alice step out of his grip and walk to the flower as he slumped to the floor. Then she calmly skipped off stage as the curtains closed. Intermission.
Alice stumbled back stage and sat down heavily, gulping the water that Ms. Avery handed her. Everyone was softly congratulating her on the awesome fight scene, and West came running over to pick her up in a massive bear hug to spin her around. They had to keep the noise down though, because even though it was intermission, the band and choir were showcasing their own talents right now. She almost dropped the water and ran back out on stage when she heard Malcolm's voice though. He had quietly arranged to help the Gala and was now stunning everyone who was there by singing [Josh Groban's When You Say You Love Me], so that the very tired Sammy could have a break. She had the strongest singing voice, but that also meant she had the most to sing. Alice stood at the side curtain, away from view of the audience and shamelessly swooned as her fiancee sang probably the most romantic song on the planet. And she knew he chose it for her. West had to pull her away so she could make it to her next spot for her own solo.
Alice's Puck sauntered back onto stage as the curtains rose, and she heard the opening of the song she stole from Sucker Punch [Go Ask Alice]. The irony was lost on the audience because they had no clue that Puck was played by Alice. She spun around the stage, not as physically intense as the fight scene, but looking more frantic. The props were already set up so that she 'turned the flower into paint', the audience watching in anticipation as Oberon strode on scene to dance with Puck and lead her over towards the slumbering Titania. Puck painted the neon marker onto Lexi's face, enjoying the childish act of scribbling little hearts on Lexi's face. Then Oberon pointed out the human lovers, wanting to teach the cruel Demetrius a lesson so he directed her to mark him too. But she tagged the wrong human, making Lysander leave his lover Hermia to chase after Helena. Oberon commands that she get the right male so shortly after Demetrius starts chasing poor Helena too, who thinks this is all a mocking prank. Every one of them ends up fighting, and the males agree to duel. Now Puck has to scurry after, keeping the men from killing each other, and trying to wipe the hearts off of Lysander's face so he goes back to loving Hermia. Puck chases the males off screen and the Faeries move the props once more, opening on the sleeping Titania and the mechanicals practicing their play. Puck scurries across part of the stage and runs flat into 'Bottom', whose name makes Puck shove a hat on him that was a donkey's head. Then Alice runs off stage as she is supposed to still be trying to stop the lovers from killing each other.
