Sheridan had just gotten up the stairs and into her room. She had to admit, she was a tad lonely in the room all by herself, but at times like this she was glad no one was there to see what she'd brought home.
She'd just arrived back at the house from Irving Hall, from practice for a sketch her troupe would be performing that Saturday night. At the end of rehearsal, the head of the troupe had smiled and clapped her hands together. "We've got our costumes! Take them home and try them out, then bring them back tomorrow and we'll have a dress rehearsal."
Now, Sheridan held up the costume; a full-skirted, powder-blue gown with lace and ribbons. Scowling at it, she laid the dress on her bed, examining it. She was supposed to play a young Marie Antoinette, but she thought she would look more like one of those cakes she'd seen in the bakery window.
She heard a snicker in the doorway. Oh God, she thought, closing her eyes and not even bothering to turn and see who it was. Someone saw this horrid thing.

Levina leaned against the doorjamb, snickering at the god-awful blue gown the other girl had just laid on the bed. "Y'know, I think that that's a lovely color for you," she remarked facetiously.

"Thanks," Sheridan shot over her shoulder. "I'm just dying to wear this." Turning, she saw the girl there. "Well, hello. How long have you been at the house?"

"I'd kill for a dress like that," she said sarcastically. She studied the other girl. "I'm new. Just got here. Haven't I seen you before? You're part of the troupe that performs at Medda's, right? I run the lights there, and I think I've seen you. You're good," she said, smiling.

Sheridan smiled back. "Thanks. That's the reason I have to wear this horrible thing," she said, gesturing to the dress. She turned back to the other girl. "I'm Sheridan, though it seems like you already know me. What about you?"

"Levina," she said, smiling and holding out her hand to shake. "So, what're you performing to wear that delicious little number?"

"The Marie Antoinette skit. I'm supposed to play her in her teen years." Sheridan shrugged, shaking Levina's hand. "Good casting, huh? They put the only one under twenty to play the teenager." She rolled her eyes.

Levina shrugged. "What's wrong with being under 20? I've only just turned 18, and I rather enjoy it. You're probably going to be able to perform longer than any of them because you won't have to retire as early. Eventually you'll get roles where you don't have to wear dresses that look like they came out of the bakery window," she said, smirking.

Sheridan laughed. "Just what I thought." She looked back at the dress, disgusted. "I normally don't mind the costumes, but this one...." She shuddered.

Levina laughed. "At least it's not as bad as that horrendous pink thing medda made one of her singers wear. Seriously, the girl looked like a puff of candy floss!"

"Ugh, I remember that. I think Medda has a thing with making her performers look like they're dessert." Sheridan grinned.

Levina smirked. "Yeah, probably. I think it's because she can't stand the idea of a performer getting more attention from guys under 25 than she does. That's why I run the lights and stay away from the stage."

"I couldn't stand that," Sheridan replied, shaking her head. "I love being on the stage. And Medda's not bad. She's a wonderful singer, and she deserves to have people adore her."

Levina shrugged. "She's a pretty good singer. I don't know that I'd go so far as to say that she deserves to have people adore her, but I guess I could get away with saying what I really think because I have a little more job security than the performers. See, there aren't a whole lot of people who know how to run the stage lights well, so if Medda gives me the boot, she'll more likely than not be without a person to run the lights for a while. Plus, it's fun to play pranks on the performers from the lights booth," she said, smirking mischievously.

Sheridan narrowed her eyes slightly. "I'll be keeping my eyes on you, Levina," she joked.
