How to Be a Really Famous Actor (And Other Acting Tips), Friday, Period 1

When everyone was in the darkened classroom today, Lucas hit the play button on a remote control.

On a TV screen was Lucas, laying down and looking sad as an attractive young woman held his hands. "It's time, Isabella. I've held on for as long as I can but... *cough* I just don't have the strength anymore."

"Oh, Jayden," the attractive blonde said. "These last few weeks.... I never felt I could love again after the cancer set in. But you showed me... I don't have to be afraid to love anymore."

"Every moment you have left here on Earth should be filled with love," 'Jayden' said. "It's what I did. And trust me, Isabella.... *cough* it's been pretty great."

"I know," 'Isabella' said before starting to cry. "I was there with you."

"*cough* One last time, Isabella... kiss me... I'm dying..."

Isabella leaned down to give Jayden one final kiss before he gently succumbed to whatever fatal illness it was that he was suffering from. Probably cancer. When Isabella lifted her head, tears streaming down her face, she said, "I'll love you until the day I die. And when I do, let's hope there's a Heaven so we can be together again."

Lucas hit the stop button and turned the lights back on. "It's okay to cry. I know, it's very emotional," Lucas said, wiping away a single manly tear from his manly face. "So that's what you're doing today; dying. And take it from a guy who actually died recently, you don't get to go out with an emotional scene in real life, so make this one count."

"I went ahead and put a bunch of causes of death in a hat and pulled them out for each of you. Figure out how you want to play out your death from that cause, then come up here and start pretending to die already and give your final little speech. And don't worry, nobody expects you do be as good as I was in Let's Hope There's a Heaven. You're not professionals."

And then he handed out the slips of paper telling everyone what they were dying of.

Caroline Forbes: Gunshot
Kate Gregson: Flower pot
Nathan Young: Eaten by a duck
Peter Bishop: Extreme case of embarrassment
