Amy sighed as she looked over at her friends Rouge, Cream, and her new friends Camie the Echidna, Dee the White Tiger, and Salsa the Coyote. Today's the auditions for the Fall Festival for Chris's school. She was just worried the judges wouldn't accept their entry. Heck, she didn't approve of it when she first heard of it. 'Oh, the guys are late…'
(Flashback)
Two weeks after the gang met Dee, Salsa, and Camie, the girls (and Tails) decided to have a movie marathon. They watched Chicago, Moulin Rouge, 2Fast 2Furious, Ella Enchanted, and Johnson Family Vacation. Chris came home a little late that day so they asked him wassup.
"You won't believe the coolest thing that's happening!" he answered. "WHAT?" they were all excited at about the news. Chris continued, "my school is hosting the Fall Festival, and there's gonna be a talent contest!" Everybody got excited, they loved to show of their many "talents". Salsa looked like she had an idea; mischief gleamed in her eye.
"Chris, you haven't told the guys yet, have you?" Salsa asked out of the blue. Chris looked at her strange. "No, you guys were the first I told." She then smirked and gave Chris some instructions. "Buena, don't tell them about it yet, por favor." "Why not?" "I want it to be a surprise." With that he left the room. He didn't know what kind of surprise she had in store for the boys, but knowing her it had to be good. So, he did what he was told and kept the festival on the down low.
"What was that about?" the curious bat asked. "Silencio Señorita Rouge. I have an idea for the talent show. I think you would be most interested, I just need to call in some favors," the Hispanic coyote snickered.
(End Flashback)
Tails and Salsa's friends are finally here. It took them a month to learn their routine, and they were not going to let that go to waste because the boys weren't here. Unfortunately, since there were only 7 min. until their time on the stage, they only went through the song.
"Ms. Salsa, your group is on." Whelp, it's time to try out for a part in the festival. Only luck will let them in.
1 hr. Later
Outside of the auditorium, was the list of the acts for the talent show. Hundreds of kids were surrounding the list, so it was impossible to see if they're in the show. In the front, there were many aww's and come on's, so they felt that they weren't going to get a chance. Camie, being the impatient person that she is, told Cream to fly up and read the list to see if they got a spot. Quickly, the bunny followed orders, and read the list:
1. Robert +3Juggling
2. SandraVentriloquist
3. Terry +2Jokes
----- ----
9. Salsa +10
Amy went wide-eyed. "Sa-say that again Cream!" The bunny just realized what she just said. She squealed with joy, " 9. Salsa +10 we're so in!" The group was overjoyed. They had made it. Cream interrupted the cheers for a second to hear the announcement, "All acts that have made it into the show, the festival will be in two weeks from today so I highly recommend that you practice from here to then. That is all."
1 week 5 days
"Ms. Salsa, I don't know how I'm going to learn these lyrics in only two weeks." Cream cried. "Don't worry, all you have to do is memorize the words one at a time, doesn't matter what it means."
1 week 3 days
"Why not Rouge?" "Simple Salsa, I know I'm a bitch, but I'm not that much of a bitch." "It's only pretend!"
1 week
"Salsa! What do you mean you don't have the costumes yet?" "Don't worry Amy, Tails is getting them." (Tails appears out of nowhere, he's pissed) "Salsa, you can forget it. Get yourself a new lacky. There is nooo way I'm going into that store to get those items."
3 days
"Salsa, me and Camie don't feel comfortable around those boys anymore." "Yeah, they kept hitting on me and Dee." "Don't worry, they were just playing around. All you have to do is withstand them for a few more days, and then you can kick their ass."
Showtime
Knuckles, Sonic, Shadow, Big, and the Chaotix were all up in the front row. Earlier today, Chris had told them he had a surprise for them today. Of course Shadow was reluctant to go (with me as the writer, as if), but with some "persuasion" he came along. When they got to the festival Sonic had wondered were the girls and Tails were. He couldn't tell, but he was sure Chris hadn't heard him or was ignoring him.
The festival was really fun. Knuckles and Sonic of course were always competing in every carnival game they could find. Knux was even stupid enough to get talked into an eating contest. The surprising thing was that Shadow joined that contest, and won too! There were a few roller coaster rides and such, but after a while Chris found them and ushered them to a stage.
"Welcome all, to the last segment of the Fall Festival. I'm your host Chris, and I will be announcing all nine contestants. For your panel of judges are my classmates (those three kids he's always hanging out with, I can't remember their names). Now, the fist act is Robert and his assistants!" Four kids walked on stage. Three of the kids were wearing black jumpsuits with red stripes, while the other one was wearing a white jumpsuit. The one in white started juggling as the others joined him. Eventually, they tossed items to each other and ended the act. (everyone claps)
"Next we have Sandra doing… ventriloquist" It went on and on like this until it was finally at the last group. Suddenly the stage got very dark, and you could hear wheels on the stage.
