Ashley had forgotten her camera. She took it from her neck and pressed record.

"Hey everyone and no one," she yelled into it, "AshySands here! So sorry for taking so long! But I am surrounded by not two, not three, but all of the Queens and alternates!"

She turned the camera to the women, and they all yelled into it.

"Now, one at a time," Ashley said loudly.

She walked up to Jaye'J. "Jarnèria Richard-Noel," she said. Jaye'J waved to the camera.

"She plays Catherine of Aragon."

Ashley walked over to Millie. "Millie O'Connel."

Millie waved, a bit too enthusiastically. "She's the chaotic Anne Boleyn."

Ashley turned around and found Natalie, who gave her a hug. "Natalie May Paris. Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved."

"RUDE," everyone shouted. Ashley let out a laugh.

"I needed that! Here's Alexia McIntosh, she plays Anna of Cleves."

"JAA!"

"Aimie Atkinson here, Katherine Howard."

"The true ten amongst these threes," Aimie said with a smile.

"True. And Maiya Quansah-Breed. Catherine Parr. Our survivor!"

Maiya nodded to the camera. "Of course!"

Ashley smiled and turned to the alts.

"Now onto our alternate ladies! Grace Mouat, Dance Captain, and plays Jane Seymour along with Katherine Howard!"

"Vicki Manser, plays Anne Boleyn and Anna of Cleves!"

"And last, and definitely not least, Courtney Stapleton, who plays Catherine of Aragon and Catherine Parr!"

"Whoo!"

Everyone got up and let out a cheer.

"All right," Natalie said, "We need to head back to the theater. Ashley, do you mind watching our rehearsal?"

Ashley gasped. "I would love nothing more!"

"Whoo!"

She felt Millie give her a massive hug.

"Let's do this!"

They all piled into the van again and drove off. Natalie was right, the excitement had passed, but it was still there.

They walked in, with Ashley still recording, and reached a white room. There was another stair like platform, only made out of felt and held by metal.

"This is the rehearsal room," Aimie told her.

"It's amazing."

"It's not much," Grace said, "But this is were you'll be working."

"In fact," Courtney said, "We have something for you."
