Chapter 1

So this is it, my dream is coming true. I am finally doing it. I'm taking my future into my hands; I'm in charge, for once in my life.

My mom didn't believe me when I said I was moving from Burnaby to LA. She didn't believe I was leaving my quaint little house in Ash Grove to go live in Hollywood to pursue my dreams. She just laughed at me and said "you're not even going to get into the show" as I threw my bags into the truck of my bright green BMW beetle. I slammed my trunk and turned to look at her. She took a big drag of her cigarette and blew the smoke at me grinning. I walked up to her and did something I've never had the guts to do. I said "mom, you can fuck off, I don't care what you think anymore; I'm so done with you." I then got into the driver seat of my car and turned on the car. I could hear her screaming at me to stop being stupid and get back into the house. I turned and grinned at my best friend Bennie. She grinned back at me, threw her long blonde hair over her shoulder and said "let's get the hell out of this place." And I drove off. Bennie rolled down the window and yelled "AIRIA HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!" And I laughed as I turned down the road.

I reached over and turned on my Glee CD and 'Proud Mary' came on. I inhaled and started belting out the song, so happy, so free and ready for anything. Bennie started singing with me when the song started to speed up.

So I Left a good job in the city,
workin' for the man every night and day.
And I never lost one minute of sleep'n,
Worryin' about the way things might have been.

Big wheels keep on turnin (turning);
Proud Mary keeps on burnin' (burning).
And we're rollin' (rollin),
Rollin (rollin), rollin on the river (rollin on the river).
Rollin' (rollin) Rollin (yeah), rollin on the river (rollin on the river).

I laughed as I sang along to the song. Bennie was so incredibly happy, since she also wanted to get out of Burnaby. Yup, she also had some star potential, but mostly she just wanted to come to LA so she can start her clothing store.

After the song finished, I realized what I just did. Oh my god, I just left home to go to LA, god I was a cliché.

I glanced at Bennie and said "Bennie, am I crazy, or just stupid?" She looked at me funny and said "your neither babe, well, actually, you're a little crazy, but that's why I like you." I laughed and said "no, I'm serious, is it stupid to believe that I could get on Glee?" She sighed and said "they called you, they want you to come and audition, I think your one of the few people that could actually get on this show. You are so talented in everything you do." She leaned forward and looked into my eyes, saying "you're going to be great." I smiled at her, and tried to think as positively as she did.

It was almost 12:30 at night and we arrived in San Francisco, California. We pulled into a crappy motel and quickly got set up. I just brought in my bag with my essentials in it, and so did Bennie. We went into our room, and it was just a dinky little place with one double bed and one bathroom. Bennie called the bathroom first, so I just sat on the bed and set up my laptop. I looked though my e-mails and I got an e-mail from my teacher, asking where I was. I also go about six e-mails from my mother, telling me to come home, or she was going to call the police. I also got an e-mail from the creator of Glee, confirming our appointment tomorrow. I quickly sent him an e-mail saying that I will be there at noon. I quickly went on Facebook to just play some games, and I noticed I got some more messages from my mom in my inbox. I quickly deleted them, and then went to play a game.

I then got an instant message from ex-boyfriend. I broke up with him about 4 months ago, but he won't leave me alone. He asked 'wat r u up 2 bb?' I gulped and just closed the window. I really didn't want to talk to him. And I quickly logged off.

Bennie then came out of the bathroom, so I could finally have a shower, after a long hot day of sweating and driving. I turned off my laptop, grabbed my shampoo and soap and went into the bathroom, quickly stripping off my clothes and jumping in the shower. I turned on the water and breathed a sigh of relief when the boiling water hit my skin. My bones ached from sitting all day and my nerves were at a climax, so I really needed this shower to relax.

After a couple of minutes of just standing in the water, I quickly washed my hair and my body. And when I turned off the shower, I could hear someone singing in the main room. I stepped out of the shower and quickly towelled off. I wrapped the towel around myself and stepped out. And I saw that Bennie was watching Glee. I sat down on the bed and said "oh ya, I forgot you had the first season." She grinned up at me and then went back to watching the episode. She was watching one of my favourites, Wheels, since Kevin McHale is my favourite singing on the show.

As I changed, I heard Bennie sigh and said "isn't Finn just dreamy?" I looked at her funny and asked "did you just say dreamy?" She looked up at me and said in an exaggerated voice "that's exactly what I mean, he so cute he can make me sound like I'm from the 60s!" I laughed as I pulled my pajama shirt over my head.

Someone knocked on the door. I looked Bennie, questioning her with my eyes. She shrugged and said "I ordered pizza." She got up and grabbed her wallet. She paid the guy and brought in the pizza with two bottles, a 7-up and a Pepsi. She handed me the 7-up and then sat down on the bed. We ate and drank as we watched Glee in the dark. We did this all the time at her house, so it wasn't any different. As the episode continued, I could feel myself getting sleepier and sleepier, until I slowly... drifted off... to sleep...

"Stars shining bright above you, Night breezes seem to whisper I love you." I heard someone singing softly behind me. I turned around and I was in the 'Glee' room. And I could hear someone singing still.

"Birds singin' in the sycamore tree, Dream a little dream of Me." the voice sounded really familiar. I walked out of the room and went into the hallway, following the voice still.

"Say "nighty night" and kiss me. Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me." Why does that voice sound so familiar? It was so beautiful, sad and soulful. I kept walking until I got to some doors. I could hear the music coming from inside.

"While I'm alone and blue as can be, Dream a little dream of me." I pressed my ear up to the door as he sang. And then I slowly opened the door and saw...

"ARI, WAKE UP, WE SLEPT IN!" I heard Bennie yelling. I jolted awake and I glanced at the clock on the night stand. It said it was 6:30 in the morning. I freaked and jolted up. To make sure we got to LA on time, we wanted to leave at 5:00, which would get us to LA at 10-ish; we just wanted to make sure. Now we had to rush just to make sure I got there on time.

I jumped out of bed and stripped off my pajamas. I quickly put on my jeans and a white tank. Bennie ran out of the room and I threw everything that I owned in my bag. I ran out after her, locked the door and just left the keys in the door. I then ran over to the driver's side of the car, threw my bag at Bennie and then started the car. I then pulled out of the parking lot.

I drove as fast and legally as I could to get to LA. There weren't a lot of people on the roads at this time in the morning, so I didn't really have to worry about traffic.

I finally made it to LA, just in the nic of time. I used the directions the creator gave me to get to the studios, so I got there pretty quickly. I got to the gate, gave them my name, and they let me enter. I drove to the studio parking lot and parked, and then I quickly changed. I pulled off my white tank and put on a pink tank and a stripped drape top. I kept my jeans on, but slipped on my favourite pink kitten heels. I quickly applied some lip gloss and strayed some breath spray into my mouth. I got out of my car, and Bennie was standing in front of my car door, with a huge smile on her face.

"Good luck babe, I know you'll do great, just try and think that we're back in my bedroom, filming your audition," she said as she hugged me. I nodded, and took a deep breath. Then I headed toward the studio. It didn't take me long to get there, I got directions from someone, and then I got there. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I heard someone say "come in." And I opened the door.

I was shocked when I caught a glance at who was in the room. The entire cast was there along with Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. There was also the casting director Jim Carnahan. Ryan Murphy leaned forward and closed a lap top that was on the table as he said "you must be Airia, please come in." I smiled nervously, nodded and stepped in, with the door closing behind me. I took a deep breath and rolled my shoulders back, think about what Bennie said. *I'm back in her bedroom with that big Lady Gaga poster behind her bed, I'm in her bedroom* I kept chanting in my head as I took my place in the front of the group.

"Ok well, this is what we're going to do; we'll put you in a scene with Chris, Amber, Kevin and Jenna," Ryan said, and then he handed me a script turned to a page. I looked down at the page and noticed it was from the episode 'Sectionals,' one of my favourite episodes. I looked up at him and nodded.

"You are going to play Rachel, I'll give you 30 seconds to get ready," he said as Chris, Amber, Kevin and Jenna stood up and took they're places. Everyone was looking at me like they expected me to freak out or run out of the room. But, thanks to Mr. Cameron, I knew how to deal with these things. Mr. Cameron was my actual Glee and drama teacher. He always just threw a script at us and said 'show me something great.' I took those thirty seconds to get into the 'Rachel' character. I read it over for a second, and then walked a little ways away, since I was supposed to 'enter.'

I looked at Ryan, and he looked slightly surprised, but he nodded at Chris, and he started.

"He's always singing when he walks down the halls," he said all Kurt like. I rushed in like I had something important to say. And then I said clearly and urgently "Hey guys did any of you think it was weird the way that Puck rushed to Quinn's aid at rehearsal yesterday?" For some reason everyone was surprised how well I played Rachel but they kept going with the scene.

"No," Amber said, like a question. And then when Kevin said "I mean he likes her, I mean they're friends, we all know that," when I looked at him, my heart jumped in my chest, and I felt my stomach roll. I stared into his eyes, and I think I saw something in them. Then I went back to the scene and looked at all of them, saying "Ya, but it seemed more than that." I sighed and looked at my hands for two seconds, and then I looked fiercely at them, saying "I've never told you guys this before, but I'm a little physic. I can't read minds or anything yet, but I do have a sixth sense. Something is defiantly going on there." They all looked at each other, and then Amber said "Uh, we gotta go." And they started to 'go,' actually just walking toward everyone else. I followed them a little ways and said a little forcefully, just a little, "We have to practice." Chris, as Kurt, then said "oh, and we will, as soon as Mr. Schuester names a faculty adviser to replace him." I shrugged slightly and said "There's nothing to be scared of; it's not like you care or anything."

And that was the end of the scene. Everyone as looking at me shocked for some reason. Ryan leaned forward and asked "have you ever been in a play or something Airia?" I shrugged and said "just two or three, or twelve." And everyone just chuckled.

Brad, the other director, then got me to do another scene, opposite Cory, again as Rachel, and I nailed that one too. And then they wanted me to sing. I decided to sing 'Don't Rain On my Parade.' First of all, because I loved that song, original and Glee version, and second, it was the song I sang in my original audition online. I stood back, they started the music, and I started to sing.

Through the whole song, I was pretty sure they liked it, since they were all smiling. I finished the song singing the last note as long as I could, which was pretty long. I then looked at everyone and tried to catch my breath. Ryan was the first one to start clapping. Soon everyone joined in. It became a thundering applause. I smiled sheepishly, and thanked everyone. Everyone in the front row leaned back to talk to the people in the back row. After about a minute of deliberating, everyone went back, but they were all grinning at me. Ryan then said "when can you start?"
