Chapter One: The Beginning

Dear Tay,
Oh my goodness. Could this day get any more worser than it already is? You saw me trip in dance (I think everybody did) Jimmy didn't talk to me, and I'm still doing research on my Great-Great Grandmother, and I am getting where on it? NOWHERE! We have a GNO meeting tonight. Girl's Night Out is such a stupid stage group. We have to go through every single dance step...first in slow motion...then faster...then faster, and the fastest they get is still slow. I can't wait to graduate GNO and move on to the Big Lights. Ya know, the stage. Well I guess I'll talk to you at the meeting later Sweetie.

Love From Yo' Girl,
Kaitlyn Hart.

Kaitlyn Hart was a 14-year-old girl. She had short blonde hair, and pale skin. She was average height, had clear green eyes, and what looked like permanently red lips. She had one best friend, and only one. She called her friend her lifesaver, her cheeseburger, her everything. That girl was Taylor Kelley. The Harts' and the Kelleys' had been friends for some amount of years according to their grandparents. "It was my grandma and Ranita Kelleys' grandma who brought our families together. Yes, Roxy and Velma. Those two were feisty when it came to the stage, but Broadway, and dancing have been in this family even before them. That's where you get your enthusiasm." Kaitlyn's Grandma Barbra always used to say, before she died that is.

Neither Taylor nor Kaitlyn were ever quiet girls. The only times Kaitlyn was ever really quiet was when she was around the total heartthrob of the school. She told herself every day that she very much disliked him, but she secretly denied it. Kaitlyn was looking at her computer screen in a daze. She was thinking about everything that went on in Illinois since she had lived there. She was deep in thought when she heard something buzzing in her head. It was somebody singing. She sounded like a good singer. Very good. It started out as a muffle but grew louder with every minute.

"...AND ALL THAT JAZZ!" banged out in her head right before her computer made a loud beeping sound. She shook her head and turned down the volume. Taylor Kelley had gotten on the internet. 'She has got to change that annoying sound.' Kaitlyn thought to herself as she typed rapidly away.

TheBobulator: you typed it...you didn't say it.

StarGazed: ok back on subject

TheBobulator: GARSH! Cool your power-jest will ya?

TheBobulator: It says here: Roxy and Velma were two swinging Jazz sisters, although not related. These two met in the one place they dreaded. Crook County Jail. Holding the Jail was the Matron that they called Mama. Velma and Roxy spent their free time remembering the days back in jail, which were interesting with Billy Flynn on both of their cases. Throughout Billy Flynn's career he had never lost a single case. You might be wondering how these two perfectly normal girls got into a place like Crook County. Well, Velma killed her sister for sexual attempts at her husband, and killed her husband as well for being sexually active with her sister, while she went out to buy ice. Roxy however killed not her husband, nor any family members, But a family man/ furniture salesman. He had a wife and five children and was sexually active with Miss Roxie Hart. So, she shot him twice in the chest after abusing her, hitting her head against the wall and throwing her to the ground as well as slapping her.

StarGazed: wow!

TheBobulator: g2g.

StarGazed: bye!!!

Kaitlyn ran up to her older brother. "Hey Chris, hey Anthony, hey Jimmy. Umm Chris could you come help me?" Chris was only 1 year older than Kaitlyn. Jimmy and Anthony were both Kaitlyn's age, but they all hung out together. "Sup sis?" "Nothin much. I need to know why Jimmy isn't talking to me!" "He's a guy who plays basketball, you're a girl who plays basketball and dances you guys are on opposite courts hmm...what is the relation here?" "Ok, ok. I need help on my report too." "Oh, ok. Call Taylor, bring her over here and then go up in Grandma's attic. You'll find a few...surprises."

Kaitlyn eyed her brother curiously. He had this strange glow in his eyes as if there was a huge secret up there. A secret that only He and Grandma knew about, and me and Taylor were about to find out.
