Of course, Mr. Will had made it very clear that he was more than happy to cast some of the girls as the male roles since most of the boys were planning to sign up to work back stage.

"I hope working backstage won't be lame." Puck said.

"Me too. I've never worked backstage before, I wonder what it's like." Finn stated.

"Are you kidding, all the action is onstage!" Kurt said excitedly as he stood in line.

"I don't know..." Finn started.

"Kurt's right, being up onstage is the best!" Rachel said happily.

"Really?"

"Yeah! It's a lot of fun, and you would be perfect in the backround."

Finn smiled. "You think I'd be perfect?"

"Of course."

"Well, maybe it would be fun, Puck, let's get in the other line and sign up for the show!"

"Why?"

"Because, Rachel and Kurt say it's going to be a lot of fun."

"It sounds lame to me."

"Come on, Puck."

"Finn's right, you never know until you try, Puckerman."

"Fine, but only because you're my boy. You owe me big time."

They all sat in the theatre, Miss Emma passing out numbers to everyone.

"What number are you, Blaine?"

"Five. What about you?"

"Four."

"I'm number one, doesn't surprise me." Rachel said with a smirk. Mercedes rolled her eyes.

"So, which parts are you hoping for?" Mercedes asked.

"I don't care, as long as I'm a lead."

"I'm sure you'll get a lead part, Kurt, you're really good."

"Thanks, Blaine. What part do you want?"

"Oh, I'll be happy with anything, really. I just hope I make it through the audition without throwing up."

"You're that nervous?" Blaine nodded.

"Oh, Blaine, I'm sure you'll do an amazing job!"

"I don't mean to be listening in, but did you say something about nerves?"

"Yeah, Blaine's nervous about his audition."

"I'm sure you'll do a great job, Blaine. Everybody get's nervous at auditions."

"Thanks."

"I'm Wes, by the way, and these are my friends... David, Jeff, and Nick. We're in the blue cabin."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Kurt, this is Mercedes and Rachel, and you know Blaine."

"What part are you going for?" Blaine asked curiously.

"We'll be happy no matter what parts we get, we just love being onstage, right guys?"

The other three nodded.

"Hi everyone, we're ready to start the auditions, when we call your number just follow me backstage to the dressing room and we'll hold your audition there. Then you can come back out here and sit with your friends, and when we're all done, we'll announce the cast." Will said. "Number one, come with me please."

"Break a leg, Rachel." Kurt said.

"Yeah, what he said." Blaine added.

"Thanks!" She said before skipping off.

A ton of auditions later, Will came out to announce the cast.

"You all did an amazing job with your auditions. It was really tough casting this thing. But I think I've found a part for all of you, and hopefully you'll all be happy with the parts you've been given. Now, the role of Aunt Em, will be played by Tina Cohen."

A few girls cheered and patted Tina on the back. "Congrats, Tina!"

She smiled. "T-Thank you."

"Uncle Henry will be played by Wesley Montgomery." Jeff, Nick, and David screamed and Kurt and Blaine clapped along with the other students.

"Finn Hudson, you're going to play Hunk."

"Uh, thanks... who's Hunk?"

"He's one of the farm hands. He's the Kansas version of the Scarecrow and Dorothy imagines him when she dreams of the Scarecrow in Oz." Rachel said quickly.

"Oh... so, does that mean that if you're Dorothy, we'll have scenes together?"

"Yes, we'll have scenes together in the opening and closing of the show."

"Cool! Thanks, Mr. Will!" He said smiling.

"The role of Hickory will be played by Noah Puckerman."

"Hickory?"

"Another farm hand." Kurt said.

"Which one does he represent?" Puck asked.

"The Tinman." Kurt stated.

"So you're playing the heartless guy, type casting, obviously." Rachel muttered.

"Hey! I told you a thousand times, I was sticking up for you and the gays, I wasn't bad mouthing them."

"Sam Evans, you'll be playing Zeke."

"Is that the farm hand that's suppose to be like the Lion?" Sam asked.

"Yes, it is." Will replied.

"Oh, sounds like fun." He said smiling.

"The role of Miss. Gulch will be played by Lauren Zizes."

"That part is stupid." Lauren stated.

"Would you have preferred a different part?"

"No, the whole show is stupid, at least I don't have to be on the stage that long."

"Professor Marvel-"

"Who's that?" Finn whispered.

"Remember in the movie, the guy with the crystal ball who tells Dorothy her Aunt's sick?"

"Oh! I remember now." Finn said. "Thanks, Kurt."

"Will be played by Jeff Sterling." Wes, Nick, and David cheered just as loudly as they had for Wes.

"Glinda will be played by Quinn Fabray." The girls cheered again and Quinn smiled.

"And the Wicked Witch will be played by Mercedes Jones." Kurt screamed and cheered loudly, Blaine smiling and clapping.

"Congratulations, Mercedes! That's a great part!"

"Thanks, Kurt. But I bet you'll get an even better one!"

"The Wizard of Oz will be played by Artie Abrams." Blaine smiled.

"Congrats, Artie! The whole show is named after you!" Artie's smile grew.

"Wow. I can't believe I got the Wizard."

"The Guard will be played by Nick Duval."

"Did you hear that Nick? That means you get a solo!" Jeff said excitedly.

"I do?"

"Yeah! The Merry Old Land Of Oz!"

"Wow! This is so awesome!"

"Now, our dancers who will be portraying the twister, the munchkins, the snowflakes in the poppy scene, and the flying monkeys will be David Thompson-" Screams from Jeff, Nick, and Wes. "Mike Chang, Blaine Anderson, and Kurt Hummel."

"What?"

"Kurt, is there a problem?"

"Yes there's a problem! I'm a stupid snowflake?"

"Kurt..."

"No! That's so unfair! I deserve a lead part! I won't even get to really sing!"

"Kurt, I'm sorry you're unhappy with your part, but I'll let you be an understudy for the main roles."

"Understudy?"

"Yes, that means that, if one of the kids gets sick, or can't do the show for some reason, you get their part."

"Ugh, this is unbelievable." Kurt muttered, sinking down in his seat.

"It's not that bad, we both got the same part, so at least we'll get to spend a lot of time together." Blaine said with a smile.

"I guess so... I can't believe we didn't even get one of the farm hands, or something!"

"It'll still be fun, Kurt."

"If you say so." Kurt mumbled as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Tina, Finn, Noah, Sam, Lauren, Jeff, and Nick will also be playing these roles along with the parts I gave you before."

"Why's that?" Sam asked.

"Well, that way you all have more to do in the show, and we have more dancers and singers in these songs."

"You mean... I have to sing and dance?" Finn asked nervously.

"I ain't playing no Munchkin..." Puck stated.

"Listen, no more complaining about your parts, I don't want to hear it. Now our four leads, the role of Dorothy will be played by Rachel Berry."

Finn clapped loudly, Puck and Kurt both rolled their eyes, and Rachel squealed.

"Oh! Thank you so much! I won't let you down, I'll be the best Dorothy I can be!"

"I'm sure you will, Rachel. Now, our Scarecrow is Brittany Pierce."

"Did you hear that, Britt? You got a lead!" Santana said.

"Is that good?"

"That's great!"

"Santana Lopez, you're our Tinman."

"Talk about type casting..." Puck muttered with a laugh, remembering how Rachel had said he was heartless so he landed the role of Hickory, Santana hitting his arm.

"You're a lead too, San!" Quinn said.

"You are? So we get to be onstage together?"

"Uh-huh."

"Yay!" Brittany squealed, tackling Santana in a hug.

"And finally, our Lion will be played by Dave Karofsky."

Everyone gasped, and whispers instantly filled the room.

"Karofsky beat me out for a lead?" Kurt said, shocked.

"I'm not doing some stupid play." Dave muttered.

"I can't even believe you auditioned." Finn stated.

"I didn't want to, I signed up on the wrong sheet and they wouldn't let me get out of it."

"I can't believe you signed up for backstage work."

"Yeah well, Miss. Emma said it was the only way I'd get off the hook for dumping paint on Rachel and messing with Kurt and Blaine... I was forced into it."

"Dave, your audition was one of the best we saw."

"Well, find somebody else, I'm not doing it." He said before storming off.

"Well, we did have a second choice for the Lion, Dave only just beat him for the part."

"Who?" Rachel asked.

"Blaine Anderson." Blaine's eyes widened.

"Me? It was between Dave and me? You thought I was good enough for a lead role?"

"Yeah, your voice was amazing and your acting was great... if you want the part..."

"Do it, Blaine!" Mercedes said quickly.

"Um, well... I guess... sure." He said nervously.

"Great! So, we have our cast. Rehearsals start tomorrow."

"Kurt? Do you want to trade parts with me?"

"What?" Kurt asked, shocked.

"I know you wanted to be a lead, and you are technically an understudy, so..."

"No, no! I wouldn't take your part away from you, you earned that, Blaine."

"Are you sure? I wouldn't be upset or anything."

"Of course I'm sure! Keep your part."

"You're not mad at me for getting a lead, are you?"

"Mad? No! Of course not, Blaine, I'm really happy for you! Tell you what, I'll help you practice. With my help, you'll know all your lines and songs in no time!"

"Thanks, Kurt."

"No problem."

Okay, so Kurt was disappointed about not getting a lead, but at least he'd get to be in the show, and he'd get to spend time with Blaine and Mercedes. That was a plus, right?
