ChicagoxTwilight
AN: this is going to probably be a pretty short fic (as in under 10 chapters). I'm currently going through this whole musical obsession, and first up was Chicago.
I'm pretty sure that the next twilight crossover musical I write will involve a chorus line.
So, any, its midnight when im writing the first draft of this so… (beta, anyone?)
I blame coffee.
BTW- I have never seen Chicago on stage, but I understand that it is very different than how it was done in the movie.
So, lets just pretend that they do it as how it was done in the movie, because…. That's the only version I know. And by movie, im talking about the one w/ Renee Zelwiger and Cathrine Zetta-Jones.
I just realized I really need to update my other stories. I'll do that soon….
I don't own twilight or Chicago. Which should really be under the plays/musicals section,but... it isn't.

After Edward left, saying I was heartbroken would be a huge understatement. So, anyway, skip over the months where I was depressed and non responsive.
June came, and I graduated school.
So, there I was. No plans ahead of me. Or at least I though.
That all changed one day on a trip I took to go to a book store in Seattle.
I saw an add for the Seattle Theater Company's production of Chicago.
Now, I'm not a big musical person, but Chicago had to be one of the best out there.
I told Charlie about it, and he told me I should audition for it.
I was about to protest before Charlie told me to just shut up and do it.
And that is how I ended up where I am here. Standing in a room, waiting to be called for my audition.
I, personally, wanted to be Velma. I'm tired of being the good girl all the time.
That was when I was called.
"Swan, Isabella." Some person with a clipboard called, and I got up to follow him into the main stage.
"What's your name?" one of the guys who was at the panel of casting directors asked me
"Bella Swan." I told them.
"Okay, Bella. Show us what you can sing." he told me.
I took a breath and thought back to what I had rehearsed. I had decided to sing "Singing in the rain." Ironic, right? Because I'm singing… and it always rains… no it really isn't….. oh well….
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm lauging at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And im ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain
I finished and just stood there.
"thank you. You may leave." One of them said. I turned, left, and went up to go home.
/ONE/WEEK/LATER/
The phone was ringing, and I went to go answer it.
"Hello?" I said once I picked it up.
"Hi, may we please speak to Ms. Bella Swan, please?" the person asked.
"Speaking." I replied.
"Hi Bella this is Bob Peters with the Seattle Theater Company. You are currently cast as Velma in our production of Chicago."
I was speechless.
"Hello? Bella?" I heard bob said through the receiver. I snapped out of it.
"Yes." I said.
"Are you still interested? In the role?" he promped.
"Yes." I replied. I didn't think I would be capable of much more speech.
"Great. Can you be at the theater in two days at 10 AM?" he asked me.
"Yes. I will be there." I told him.
"Great. See you then." He told me.
"OH MY GOD! DAD! GUESS WHAT!" I screamed. I couldn't stop smiling.
"What?" he asked, trying to keep me from jumping up and down.
"I got cast as Velma in Chicago!" I said, starting to jump again.
"… Who is that again?" he asked me.
"The chick who kills her sister." I told him.
"Oh. Well…. Have fun." He said.
"Dad, I'll be taking my college fund and leasing an apartment in Seattle." I told him.
He simply nodded.
I was so ecstatic, so I called angela.
"Oh my god, Bella, that's great!" she told me once I told her my awesome news. "You know- I'm going to Seattle U and have an apartment and no roommate- wanna be my roommate? It's cheaper than getting your own apartment." She asked me.
I told her sure, paying the rent shouldn't be a huge job- the company was a paying company.
My life was finally Looking up.
AN: Yeah. That's chapter one. Not much Chicago in it. I think next time I might just skip to the cullens being involved. Since I've never been in a production that wasn't in school and I seriously have no idea how that works. So…..
Anyone want to beta for me? Since ive only seen Chicago once ever, and that was seven hourse ago.
I just looked at the clock. It is 1:16 am.
I'm gonna post this and then sleep.
Yay sleep!
