A/N:Before you start, I'd like to day that the movie Another Cinderella Story and Sailor Moon do not belong to me. Nor do the lyrics. They all belong to their rightfull owners. And I also added some of my own details into it.
Serena sighed bored out of her mind as she sat in her foster mother's dressing room. She looked around at all the overly pink/puffy things and at all the overly done dresses and furniture. She wished she could be hanging out with her best friends at the mall or at the park at least. She leaned back against her chair and let out another sigh.
Serena:"So bored..."
She said before an idea popped into her head. She looked around the room to make sure she was alone before she stood up and walked to the middle of the room. She took in a deep breath and began to dance as she imagined she was making her own music video. As she danced to the beat of the music in her head she began to sing.
Everybody tells me
That it's so hard to make it
It's so hard to break in
There's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me
That it's wrong what I'm feeling
I shouldn't believe in
The dreams that I'm dreaming
I hear it every day
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much
But they're never gonna change my mind
Tell me, tell me
Tell me somethin' I don't know
Somethin' I don't know
Somethin' I don't know
How many inches in a mile?
What it takes to make you smile?
Get you not to treat me like
A child, baby..~
Serena was so lost into the dance and song that she didn't notice her foster mother had returned into the dressing room until:
"Serena!"
Serena stopped and turned to her foster mother who wore a very pink and very poofy bathrobe as she had her overly manicured hands on her hips.
Susan:"How can I be an artist when you can't be bothered to do your job? Which, by the way, is fetching me bubbly water."
Serena let her arms fall down to her sides and walked up to Susan as Susan kept glaring at her.
Susan:"Are you trying to ruin me?"
Serena:"I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
Susan:"There are people who would just kill for this job. Important people. Bubble me now or you're grounded."
Serena followed her as they walked to the door of the dressing room as Susan said:
"And stay out of my dressing room. I hate your energy. It's ugly and sad and lonely."
Both walked down a hallway as a woman followed behind Susan and began to apply make up to her face. They walked on to the set where they were shooting a commercial set. Serena walked up to a nearby cooler and began to move ice, sodas and water bottles around before she found a bottle of bubbly water. She was about to headed back when the bottle was yanked out of her own grasp by her foster sister who smiled at her.
Jenny:"Oh, my God. Thank you so much, Serena. That was the last bottle of bubbly."
Serena sighed before she said:
"No, thank you, Jenny. Your mom's gonna kill me."
She turned away as her second foster sister Janet appeared behind Jenny and grabbed a lemonade from the cooler as Serena looked threw the cooler hoping to find another bottle of bubbly water.
Jenny:"Not my problem."
Janet:"So true. Um, they told me to tell you you're holding the whole shoot up. And you work for us, in case you forgot."
Serena:"Oh, how could I ever forget?"
Shee said sarcastically as she looked at them before looking away.
~•~
Susan was busy walking with the director's assistant as the makeup artist applied blush to her face.
Susan:"Oh, it's a tragic story. Her mother was one of my dancers. Truth to tell, probably the weak link. But then she died. And I needed some help around the house, so I took her little brat in. I'm really a saint, you know?"
She said turning to the makeup artist who gave a nod before the director ran up behind them.
Director:"Susan, turtledove. Listen, we're a bit behind schedule. What I need from you is I need you to be a little cuddle... And shake that moneymaker before I'm brown bread."
He stood infront of Susan and clapped his hands smiling as Susan looked at him.
Susan:"I have no idea what you are saying."
~•~
Jenny:"What's with the attitude? We are so good to you."
Serena held back the need to roll her eyes as she continued to look threw the cooler.
Janet:"You may live in the 90210, but you're still just a zero."
She said as she drew an invisable zero in the air and Serena pulled a new bottle of bubble water out of the cooler and turned to them.
Serena:"We live in the 90211, genius."
Susan:"Serena, bubbles! Now!"
Susan yelled from the set before Serena took off on a full run yelling:
"Coming, Susan."
Leaving the twins by themselves. Janet looked up confused before she turned to her sister.
Janet:"Is that true?"
Jenny rolled her eyes as both made their way to the set.
~•~
Serena stood behind the camera crew as they began to tape Susan's commercial. The background music began to play and they did a retakes of Susan's old music video.
I'm on hold for you
I keep pushing number one and two~
Susan:"That's me, Susan. I'm singing my number-one hit, "On Hold 4 You."
For an hour or two On hold for you~
Serena looked away bored as she let out a sigh before her cellphone vibrated in her pocket. She turned away from the set and saw she got a text from one of her best friends, Lita.
Hey Gyrl, hows the shoot?
Serena turned back to the commercial shoot as Susan began to talk into the camera before she turned back to her phone and texted back.
U already knw the answer, boring
She turned back to the set as Susan began to wrapped horrificly.
Susan:"I like clear skin and that's the truth
All you sisters just look uncool
You give your man a heart attack
'Cause you got acne on your back Baby Got Bacne.~"
She said into the camera before a voice in the background said "Live bacne-free."
~•~
Serena skated behind her foster family's limo as she carefully text her friends before they arrived at their large mansion. Susan and her daughters climbed out of the car as they each talked on their cellphones.
Susan:"I'm not gonna do that old lizard's talk show again. He's got a serious case of the grab-hands. Not that I mind that sort of thing from someone under 90."
Jenny:"This semester is so gonna rock."
Janet:"Oh, tell me something I don't know. Because I know that and I know everything."
She said into her phone as Serena turned her phone off and skated up the driveway to her room in the garage. Jenny got off her phone for a second and turned to Serena as Serena walked passed them.
Jenny"There's laundry to do."
Serena:"Okay."
She said as her step family walked into the house and she walked into her room threw the small door next to the garage door. Serena sat her skatebored down in a chair before turning the lights on in her room and walking up to the dirty laundry basket that was left on her bed.
Susan, Janet and Jenny walked threw the foyer of the house as Janet said:
"He's coming back for the rest of the year. I mean, how hot is that?"
Jenny:"Like surface-of-the-sun hot."
She said as they both ran to the livingroom and Susan turned to them as she made her way to the second living area.
Susan"Don't you dare turn on that TV set."
Janet:"Okay."
Jenny:"Yeah!"
They both sat down and Jenny grabbed the remote from the coffee table.
Janet:"Turn it, turn it, turn it."
Jenny turned the tv on and a news show was on with a news woman giving a report.
News woman:"I'm here at Tokyo High School, where there's nothing but buzz, buzz, buzz. Fresh from his fourth world tour... teen heartthrob Darien Shields has decided to bring his triple threat of singing... dancing and breaking hearts back home to the Hills."
Serena sat in her room rearranging the laundry as she was also watching the news and the scene switched to a scene from a recent concert where a male who was not much then three years older then her was singing on stage as millions of screaming fans cheered.
That girl, baby
Oh...
She knew she's just that girl
She knew she's just that girl.~
Janet giggled like a crazed fan girl as the scene changed to where the press where following Darien after the concert asking the young popstar questions.
News woman:"Darien, can you give me any information... about what you're doing in the future?"
Darien turned to her and smiled into the camera.
Darien:"Just get back to my roots, take my senior year off, go back to school. I'm just trying to keep it real."
The scene changed back to the news woman as she said:
"How does DS plan to keep it real? Darien and his record label are sponsoring a huge dance competition..."
Both Janet and Jenny looked at each othed before they turned back to the tv as the news woman continued.
News woman:"...where one lucky student will win the opportunity... to dance with Darien Shields in his next video. So all you dancers in waiting, it's time to get your freak on."
Serena smiled before a loud beep was heard, she turned to the small white box on the wall behind her as Susan's voice was heard.
Susan:"Serena, I need you pronto, now. You forgot to TiVo my soaps."
Serena whispered "Oh..." Before she stood up and pushed the respond button as she tried to hurry with the laundry.
Serena:"Sorry, Susan, I'll be right there."
Susan:"Can you feel that?"
Serena stopped for a second and blinked.
Serena:"What?"
Susan:"I'm choking you from a distance. Choking you!"
Serena sighed as she shut the box off and exit her room.
