My 50th FanFic! I was watching Fame for the first time yesterday, the original version, and after the credits rolled this idea just jumped out at me! Anyway, enjoy, and thank you for reading.

"Johnson, Maureen?"
Oh God, that's me… Here goes nothing.
The brunette walked onto the small stage, curly hair framing her beautiful face. She took her place at center and looked into the faces of the people that would decide her future.
Taking a deep breath, she began to sing.
... ... ...
"Cohen, Mark?"
Mark's hands shook as he stood in front of New York's most prestigious performing arts high school's teachers and coughed nervously. But then he remembered why he was there.
I have to get in.
And as he recited his audition, the monologue it took him two weeks to pick out, the world fell away from Mark. All that mattered was getting in.
... ... ...
"Thanks for the ride Mr. Davis," Mimi Marquez called as her friend's father's cab drove away.
"You ready for this?" she asked Roger as he brushed his bangs out of his eyes.
"Not really," he replied, smiling at the short Latina as they walked inside, "Are you?"
"You kidding me? Of course not," Mimi replied.
"You'll be great!" He called as she flitted up the stairs to join the other dancers.
"So will you!" She screeched as he went down to join the musicians.
"Diner at Life Cafe after, okay?" Mimi yelled, her voice a distant whisper to Roger.
He didn't even need to respond. Of course he would meet her after. He would always be there.
... ... ...
"Coffin, Benjamin III?"
Benny smiled at the pretty little Latina that had been oogling him since she walked into the brightly lit dance studio. He stood and practically glided to the middle of the floor and cued the woman at the piano.
You think you like me now? Wait til I dance.
After he finished his audition he smirked to see the girl who's name he thought was Mimi openly gaping.
Oh yeah.
... ... ...
Collins ran frantically up the stairs, his mind a million places at once.
Shit, I'm not even on the right floor. They'll kick me out for running in the halls before I even get in!
Not paying any attention to where he was going, the boy, who was almost a man, ran into a tall skinny boy who on closer inspection was extremely cute.
"Sorry man, I just realized I was on the wrong floor, and I only have a few minutes until my appointment, and I really really need to get in, and-" Collins stammered, until he felt a warm hand touch his cheek.
"It's okay," the boy said, smiling at Collins, "No harm done."
"See you around?" Collins questioned quietly.
The boy nodded, "Of course," he replied as he walked away.
"I'm Angel by the way," he called from down the hall.
"The name's Collins, Tom Collins."
"Until we meet again, goodbye Tom Collins," Angel called, almost out of sight.
Angel indeed.
... ... ...
"Jefferson, Joanne?"
The girl dressed smartly in a blue skirt and blue blazer that was professional but still showed her figure walked onto the stage. In a few moments her future would be decided. This next song could change her future.
And with that, she sang her heart out.
... ... ...
I hope it's okay so far. I don't want this to be a one-shot, and I'll try to update soon. Thanks for reading!
