Questionable Media Month Part 19
Chapter 19 – Back In The Saddle
Sadie sneaks into the theater and sentimentalizes over the wooden seats and smell of spilled orange soda for a few paragraphs. She finally starts watching the rehearsal, which isn’t going well. The choreography is great, but Nigel is upstaging Lucey’s weaker acting and Mr. Ellison and Mr. Lord are still squabbling. Oh, and we get another song, with full lyrics, this one to ‘Poker Face’ discussing how Edward can’t read Bella’s mind. How many songs does this show have now?
Incidentally, Sadie unironically calls a song genius which includes the immortal lines “I kinda wanna kiss her while I drink up all her blood” and “But he’s a comic superhero/I’m a real life bad guy zero”. It’s official: Sadie has no taste.
“Steven had worked out a funky, crump-like spastic dance for the verses. For the chorus, he switched into a more lyrical style.”
…there’s nothing I can say that is funnier than those two sentences.
Sadie hangs out in the back until rehearsal is over, and then goes backstage and gives Adrienne her notes on what should change. However, Adrienne says that some of her proposals should be presented to Mr. Lord directly, because he won’t listen to Adrienne but might listen to Sadie since he respects her and all.
She finds Mr. Lord the next day and he agrees with her suggestions. He also starts going on about how he would like to be her mentor, but he might not stay at this school. She’s upset that he might leave because gosh, he’s such a good drama coach! (You’ll notice that he’s either a great or sub-par director, depending on the needs of the plot.) And then he starts hitting on her again; she jerks away because she’s afraid he’s about to kiss her. Dude, get this guy fired already.
Meanwhile, it’s Thanksgiving and Sadie’s big brother Jesse (he of the ‘all guys are uncontrollable beasts’ advice) asks what’s up with her and Alex. She sidesteps the question by mentioning her brief relationship with Nigel and how it ended because she wouldn’t sleep with him. Jesse applauds her for not “spoil[ing] it with a lot of cheap sex”. ’It’, by the way, is sex with someone you love. Because obviously, if you have sex with someone you don’t love, it ruins the sex you have with the person you do love. You know what? I’m not even going to touch that.
Oh, and Sadie tells Jesse that Lucey is pregnant and his only response is, “Sounds like she could have used my advice about not doing two stupid things at once. Now aren’t you glad that’s not you?”
*head explodes*
