He wanted to take a nap? She hated naps.

But at least she didn't have to say any more stupid lines.

So Nadia laid down next to Blair and pretended to be asleep.

Puck meandered back out onstage, looking frustrated. Whether with Zero or the missing lovers, it was hard to know.

"Through the forest have I gone.
But Athenian found I none,
On whose eyes I might approve
This flower's force in stirring love.
Night and silence.--Who is here?
Weeds of Athens he doth wear:
This is he, my master said,
Despised the Athenian maid;
And here the maiden, sleeping sound,
On the dank and dirty ground.
Pretty soul! she durst not lie
Near this lack-love, this kill-courtesy."

Puck froze. That...that had been the girl. And she'd definitely been feeling those words.

"Churl, upon thy eyes I throw
All the power this charm doth owe.
When thou wakest, let love forbid
Sleep his seat on thy eyelid."

He squeezed the flower over the boy's eyelids, muttering, "Oi, don't kneel like that! They can see up my skirt!" He rolled his eyes as he finished his lines,

So awake when I am gone;
For I must now to Oberon."

Then he bounded to his feet and dashed offstage to find a quiet corner and explain to the girl why she couldn't kick the king of Fairy in the shins.

Callisto swaggered back onto the stage, she crooked her finger in Logan's direction. "Stay, though thou kill me, sweet Demetrius," she crooned.

"Stay!" He threw out a hand to keep her away and backed off. "- on thy peril. I alone will go!" He dashed offstage.

Blair rubbed his eyes and sat up, scratching a little and grinning over at Callisto.

"And run through fire I will for that sweet sake." He stalked closer, his hands ghosting close to her body as he spoke. "Transparent Helena! Nature shows art,
that through thy bosom makes me see thy heart."

He glared offstage and growled a bit, the play was interrupting his quality bosom time.

"Where is Demetrius? O, how fit a word
is that vile name to perish on my sword!"

Callisto giggled.

"Do not say so, Lysander; say not so," she purred.
"What though he love your Hermia? Lord, what though?
"Yet Hermia still loves you: then be content."

Somehow I doubt Shakespeare intended that as a come-on.

Would you just shut up?

No.

Blair leaned close, placing a hand on Callisto's waist.

"Content with Hermia! No; I do repent
the tedious minutes I with her have spent.
Not Hermia but Helena I love:
who will not change a raven for a dove?"

Callisto grinned and started to lean towards Blair.

Okay. First, you're not supposed to like him and second, you have an exit now, moron.

I do?

Did you even bother to read the play before usurping my body? Off stage! OFF!

Callisto rolled her eyes and walked back offstage, Blair close behind.
