Moonlight-Chapter 1

"Jesus..John...John! Help!" a somewhat small, dark haired man called trying to keep a stack of boxes he was carrying from falling on him.

The said other man came running over from nowhere and grabbed the boxes from the the smaller man.

"Thanks.." the smaller of the two panted having carried those boxes up down a flight of stairs by himself.

"I thought you said you were working out, Jake." the muscular blonde teased setting the boxes down with some others in the corner.

The dark haired man glared lightly, "I am, I just prefer to exercise me brain more than my muscles. Like you..John."

The blonde shrugged and went back up the stairs to get more boxes.

A dark brown haired man came down seconds later carrying boxes of costumes, "Hey, Jake could you make sure John doesn't break anything up there?"

Jacob sighed, "Okay, Michael." He hiked up the stairs and back into the dusty attic-like space above the theater stage. He ducked just in time to avoid being head butted by the boxes John was carrying back down, "Whoa. Hey, careful!" He called indignantly down to the man.

"Sorry." John called back and continued downwards.

Jacob rolled his eyes and walked over to some more boxes but paused to exercise his curiosity a little bit, peeking into the top box a small cat statue caught his eye. He reached in and pulled it out taking a closer look seeing it was decorated with gold paint over it's black body. He turned it over in his hand and noticed Egyptian hieroglyphics on the bottom, since he could not translate it he decided to carry it down to look it over more. Once down the stairs he walked over to the rack holding their CATS costumes and looked at the statue again.

"Hey!" John called with a smile not noticing how into whatever Jacob was holding in his hands he was and surprised the smaller male causing him to drop the statue.

Making contact with the stone floor the statue shattered and contained smoke sprayed free from inside the hollow artifact seeping into the costumes near it.

"Oh great, thanks John.." Jacob frowned hoping that cat wasn't anything very valuable or that it wouldn't be missed.

"Sorry, I didn't think you'd drop it." John said trying not to upset the other more than he probably already was.

"Well, what did you think I'd do when you sneek up on me like that?" Jacob asked defensively.

"Hey, I said sorry." John replied.

Jacob sighed, "Whatever, just help me clean it up."

The blonde complied with the other's request and retrieved a broom and dust pan sweeping the shards up before Michael returned from the bathroom.

Jacob didn't notice John, Michael, Drew, Jason, Bryan and his costumes were sparkling slightly in the dim lights above them.

The performance would be tonight for a smaller crowd than usual but still a paying crowd wanting to see them perform...they just didn't know how much of a performance they would give.
