[A chain reaction. One event setting off another. Dominos.]

[Whatever you want to call it, it happened and it was a major inconvenience to Ace.]

Ace: ..So, you two got it?

Sophia: O-oh uh. Yeah.

Freya: Here.

[She handed the posters to Ace]

Ace: Nice.

[He walked onto the stage, helping Tori carry things onto the center point.]

Sophia: I'm going to grab a drink from the vending machine.

[she came back with Vivian and Karl]

Sophia: So uh. I got some Pepsi. I also brought these two.

Vivian: Hi Tori!

Karl: Hey Tori.

[Tori turned to face them, surprised to see they were here, and tripped on one of the props, grabbing onto Ace for support.]

[Ace fell as well and tumbling off of the stage, which was a hard fall onto his arm]

Ace: ..ow..

Karl: Oh jeez.

[Karl runs up to Ace, Sophia following]

Tori: Ace I'm so sorry-

Ace: I'm fine..

[he tries to pull himself up but winces in pain and crumples down onto the floor again]

Sophia: Nope. Nope. Nope. We are taking you to the nurse.

Ace: ..The show must go on.

Sophia: we'll have to postpone it or something-

Vivian: Or he could let someone else take over.

Ace: ..Freya. Keep the show running.

Freya: ..wait what?! No. I can't. I'm literally just the sound girl.

Ace: 'The sound girl?' You are Freya Hills. You are the one who stayed up all night reading the script last year to help the understudies. You literally know this show by the back of your hand.

Ace: and.. In case you doubt yourself, you have all these guys to help.

[He intended to pat her shoulder but winced out of pain]

Sophia: Come on. Let's go get that checked out.

[Well.. he's not the director anymore.]
