Aida (Act 2)

Hi. So, assuming you've read the last post, I'll just head right into it. If not, go back and read the post "Aida (Act 1).

So, In Act Two, you get to see how Aida and myself's relationship plays out. Both of us are trying to keep our relationship under wraps, but it's hard. We soon find out that my soldiers have captured the Nubian king, A.K.A. The person who's country I'm at war with, and Aida's father, which I still don't know. They soon figure out a plan to help them escape back to Nubia, which arises a problem for Aida, because we are in love. Meanwhile, I have a fight with my father. He tells me what I should do and how I should do it, and I don't want to live the way he wants me to live. I tell him that I'm not like him, and I never will be. He then gets pissed at me, and tells his Ministers to kill Aida, because he knows about her, and he knows she is a distraction. The Ministers go to kill her, but Nehebka (a Nubian slave), tells them that she is Aida, and they kill her, because Aida's people need her. I, thinking Aida is dead, walk around all depressed. I see her by the Nile, and we talk about the reason we met. She says that maybe that the Gods put us together so they prisoners can escape and we could stop the war. I tell her that I don't want anything, except her. I try to call off the wedding. I end up helping her father escape and return to Nubia. I fail at sending Aida home, because we want to be with each other so badly. We are both marked as traitors, and we are meant to be executed by the traditional Egyptian traitor execution. Being buried alive. Amneris decrees to her father that we should be buried, even though she has been hurt and betrayed. That is the moment when we realize that Amneris is going to be the new Pharaoh, with her father dying, and her no-longer engagement. Aida and I are buried alive together in a tomb, and I tell her the words, "If I have to search a hundred lifetimes, I will find you again, Aida." We both are sealed in the tomb, and die. We are then reincarnated in a modern day museum, the very exact one where our tomb is located. We end up both looking at it together, then we notice each other. We stare at each other, then we grab hands and smile, knowing exactly who the other is. Then Blackout.

Sounds pretty good, eh? You can believe me when I say that it is a lot of work. We all have play practice every day after school for two hours. We have an entire 2-hour play memorized by heart. But, even with all the work, It is one of the best experiences of my life. I absolutely love it. We all do.
