The crowd was already quite thick. The thousands of fans that had gathered in the stadium cheered for their idol to come forward and sing, however the concert was still about an hour to actually start. That didn't stop the fans to sing the lyrics from the top of their lungs and chant the name of their idol out loud.
At the back stage a boy in a blue hoodie and brown camo pants shivered in disgust at the crowd. He turned to mock the crowd as he walked someplace where he didn't have to listen to any of them, but this was difficult considering the circumstances.
"Guy," a voice interrupted the boy's walk, making him turn.
"Dad," Guy talked to his father, officer Boxter Hamdon of the Megadale Police Department.
"Have you seen your sister anywhere?" asked the big police officer at his youngest offspring.
Guy shrugged and shook his head, "No idea dad. She was with me and Maz but then I lost them both."
Boxter groaned and removed his cap, "Look Guy I need you to find them and make them stay out of trouble. I already have enough on my plate having to handle…SheZow… So please find them and tell them I got some seats for them, they'll be able to see the concert from a backroom. It took me ages to convince the organizer, but she finally agreed."
Guy shoved his hands on his pockets and nodded, "Okay dad, I'll look for Kelly."
Boxter sighed, "I'm sorry I had to drag you guys here."
"Hey dad it's okay I mean, I don't mind SheZow," said Guy. "But Maz and Kelly…"
"I know they are fans, but I don't want anything to happen to your sister or that friend of yours and the crowd is wild," Boxter ruffled his dark hair. "Between this, taking care of you guys and the fans I can barely breathe tonight. Why did the baby sitter have to cancel tonight?"
"She's a SheZow fan," mentioned Guy casually. "Actually almost all of Megadale is here tonight to see SheZow. I could have taken care of Kelly you know?"
Boxter glared at his son, "Last time I left you guys alone I came back to a floor filled with cheese, a damaged water system and a blown up toilet. Never again."
Guy rolled his eyes, "So our plans failed it happens."
Boxter sighed, "Just look for your sister and your friend so I can feel at peace and concentrate on my job."
"Hamdon we need you at the front," yelled a red haired officer.
"I'm coming Wackerman," said Boxter putting his cap quickly. "Look for your sister and head to this room." Boxter handed Guy a piece of paper with a number on it before running to Wackerman.
Guy shoved the paper in his pockets and moved to search for his sister and his best friend. However the feat proved easier said than done. The thick crowd inside the back stage was even worse than outside. Coordinators, guards, cables and machinery kept getting on Guy's way as he searched for his sister.
How is it that she is the oldest and I have to deal with all this mess? Questioned Guy as he got another insult thrown his way. He finally managed to get away from the thick crowd and into a less crowded hall. His eyes wondered around in his search for his twin, but came empty every time. Sighing Guy closed yet another empty door and wondered further into the corridor to the final door. Without much force he opened the door and stared at the pink surroundings.
Guy walked inside watching in awe at the pink walls, chairs, and tables. Silver edges adorned most of the pink and the occasional black to accompany the pink.
"Kelly," asked Guy walking further into the room. His eyes landed on the vanity mirror and a small ring a top of it. Guy picked it up and played with it eying the silver and pink ring.
It was an odd design even for Guy. The rim was pink and in the middle a silver diamond encrusted S finished the touch. Guy placed it back down and turned. There was a pink couch with black and pink cushions on it. A silver set of double door gave Guy an odd feeling, but he tore his eyes away and he started out.
As he got to the door he heard it, a voice coming his way. Guy held his breath and thought, If I explain they will understand. However his thoughts came to halt as the woman's voice came to his ears.
"I don't care what you do find her NOW," said the female voice. "We have a sold out comeback. SheZow has to perform tonight."
Guy frowned but the angry undertone of the woman didn't let him processed well and he rushed to hide behind the couch. As he hid the door burst open and the woman walked in. Guy didn't risk moving to see considering the size of the vanity mirror.
He heard the woman sigh, "SheZow where are you? Where are you Agnes? Why aren't you here?"
Guy frowned but didn't move from his position.
"You could have told me Agnes…if you wanted to quit you just…" another sigh. "Why do you have to make my job harder darling?"
Guy heard footsteps and a phone ring, "Shela here, did you find SheZow?"
"What do you mean? No, this can't be happening? Did the director send this? I can't fill these requests tonight, I can't even find SheZow. Yes. Yes. I understand, but he has to understand I can't find SheZow." A sob escaped the woman. "If something happened to Agnes I…"
Guy didn't hear anything else as the door of the room closed. Guy moved out of his hiding spot and eyed the room with a closer eye. Everything made sense, now. The pink and the décor, these were SheZow's colors. He was in SheZow's dressing room. He had to get out of here. As he rushed to the door once more the silver ring caught his attention once more.
Turning, he walked towards it and inspected it. It certainly was odd. Catching his image in the mirror he smiled and put the ring on his finger and stepped back. He laughed at his reflection where he started making fun of SheZow. Growing up with a hardcore SheZow fan has its benefits as he reenacted her dancing steps to perfection. He even launched into a song for good measure. After a while he couldn't handle it anymore and bursted into laughs. In his laughing fit he hadn't noticed he had a fan in the background, until he glance at the mirror once more.
"Who are you?" asked the tall woman behind him.
Guy swallowed hard and turned to her, "Eh…um…ah I'm Guy Hamdon and I was…AM looking for my sister Kelly."
The lady terrified Guy even with the perfectly placed make-up he usually mocked on girls. Her silver eyes stared back at Guy with a cold stare. Her pink lips in a straight line didn't give Guy anything but shivers. Not being used to the female treatment he felt even more threatened than usual. If that wasn't enough the woman was tall, like taller than his dad. She also had long pink nails and very deadly looking heels.
"As I can see your sister isn't here," said the pink haired woman.
Guy nodded, "Yeah I…I'll be going now."
He said walking past the woman and making his way out of the door, but he didn't make it that far.
"The ring," said Shela taking hold of Guy's arm.
Guy nodded quickly and tried to take it off. Guy pulled it but the ring was stuck on his finger.
"What the," he said as he pulled again. "It doesn't come off."
"What?" said Shela looking around the room. "Hold on I'll get it off."
She rushed to the vanity and searched on the drawers for something to help them. She came back with several items that could help them, "Come here."
She said pushing Guy to the couch. She set on to work pulling out a big bowl with the words VASELINE in the front. Guy watched as Shela bathe his finger in Vaseline and pushed to no avail. She then pulled another item labeled antibacterial…with the same results. No matter what she used the ring barely moved from his finger.
"How did you even made the ring come in?" she asked after they had tried even saliva and Guy was washing his hands.
"I don't know it was easy to put in," he said drying his hands. "But I guess it's stuck."
"Shela," came a voice from outside the door. "SheZow is in, in fifteen minutes."
Shela's eyes widen, "Thanks Frank we'll be there."
"Okay," said Frank.
At the sound of his feet disappearing Shela panicked, "Oh God, oh God. I can't find SheZow and now you have her ring."
Guy frowned, "What happened to SheZow?"
"I don't know," said Shela. "One moment she was here all right then I come back and she's gone. I can't have a concert without SheZow."
"Well I'll help you find her," said Guy. "I was looking for my sister anyway."
Shela shook her head, "This is a disaster, it's like SheZow disappeared from the planet. And now a little kid has her ring…this is the worst day ever."
"Why is it so horrible that I have this ring anyway?" asked Guy crossing his hands.
Shela sighed and turned to him, "You want to know why? That ring is actually a modifier that helps SheZow on stage, yes she is a staged act. An idol created by the industry to keep money flowing. Now you have her ring, she's gone and I…I don't know what to do."
Shela silently sobbed but tried to not break down in front of the boy. However he more she tried to worst it was to conceal her tears and soon she was all out crying.
"Hey no don't cry," said Guy. "We can look for SheZow I'm sure of that."
Guy walked to the vanity and searched for a tissue but didn't see anything that could resemble a tissue, however he did find a piece of paper.
Curious he opened it and read the contents quickly. His eyes widen at the words and he soon turned to Shela.
"SheZow's gone," Shela raised her eyes, her eyes stained with thick black eyeliner. "What?"
"SheZow," said Guy giving her the note. "She's gone."
Shela read it quickly and slumped down, "I can't believe it…She really is gone…I…what now. SheZow is on in ten minutes…the stadium is sold out…I'm going to lose my job…I'm ruined."
Guy watched the older woman crumble. And he swallowed hard. Managing women was not his strong suit and he didn't know exactly how to help her now. SheZow was gone, she said so in her letter. She was tired and left, just like that because she could. Guy still had to find Kelly and Maz but he wasn't about to let this poor woman alone like this…
"Maybe," he said. "Maybe I can be SheZow, you know. Just this once."
Shela turned to Guy and blinked, "You would do that."
Guy nodded, "But I need you to look for my sister and my best friend Maz and bring them both here."
"Consider it done," said Shela standing. "But we have to get you ready now."
Guy nodded and got to work but froze, "I don't know anything about female products."
"Just relax I'll take care of everything," said Shela opening the set of double doors.

The stage was black and the lights faded. The crowd held their breath as the long wait finally reached its end. Silence drove on for a few minutes, but it felt like forever until the spot light came to life showing an empty stage. Murmurs burst through the crowd as the confused fans debated what was going on, however as silence fell once more on the crowd the voice of one particular singer rattled them wild once more.
I wanna turn it up,
So don't you turn me down;
'Cause when we get together,
We got a rockin' sound.
The stage lit up as the back dancers started to dance to a still inaudible beat.
Don't need to follow in,
Somebody else's steps;
We make our own rules,
I think you know the rest.
The dancers all gathered around the spot light as they searched through the crowd for something or someone.
Just look around now.
Look what you got now.
The dancers break and in comes SheZow. Long white gogo boots adorn her feet as she steps in the stage. A mini skirt adorns her waist and end mid thigh where the boots start. A pink corset covers her abdomen and a top of it a long sleeved pink cheetah print top that starts from her shoulders and down. A pink choker adorns her delicate neck that has a dangling S the usual symbol of SheZow. Long black hair sways with her movements as she walks further into the stage singing.
Find yourself in a song,
Bring out the beat and the melody.
Find yourself in a song,
When we're together is meant to be,
All it takes is one big dream.
You better find yourself in a song,
When we're together it's meant to be (yeah).
The crowd is wild at the sight of their idol. The frenzied crowd is driving the guard into a bad spot. However the show must go on and SheZow dances alongside her dancers but her movements aren't as quirky as usual. She is quite tame in the stage for the few seconds the guitar takes over the song, but the fans go wild as they hear their idol sing the next lyrics and the stage follows the young star.
I wanna find the fun, come on and mix it up,
'Cause if it's now or never, then now's the time for us.
Don't wanna shy away, from who we really are;
This is a brilliant night, feel like a shining star.
The crowd starts singing along side SheZow for they know by now the lyrics by heart. The set of back lights changes from blue to pink and back in alternate ways. Smoke comes from every angle drowning the stage in white mist as SheZow sings her heart out once more.
Just look around now.
Look what you got now.
Find yourself in a song,
Bring out the beat and the melody (melody).
Find yourself in a song,
When we're together is meant to be,
All it takes is one big dream.
You better find yourself in a song,
When we're together it's meant to be (yeah).
SheZow turns around as her dances take over the stage with dance moves. Some jump and do tricks while others just keep their rhythm down for the big finale. SheZow reaches her exit point and turns to the crowd with a smile of her pink glossed lips.
Just look around now.
The dancers disperse from the stage to give way for the big finale.
Look what you got now.
SheZow winks at the audience and twirls as the stage lifts itself. SheZow stumbles a little but regains her composure for the last seconds of the song.
Find yourself in a song (hey yeah),
Bring out the beat and the melody, melody (Woah, woah).
Find yourself in a song (find yourself in a song),
When we're together is meant to be (Woah, woah),
All it takes is one big dream.
You better find yourself in a song (find yourself in a song),
When we're together it's meant to be (yeah).
The stage erupts in fireworks as the dancers flips and jumped their way into position before fireworks erupted at the corners of the stage. SheZow disappeared from the stage through the floor of the lifted stage and was quickly met by hundreds of hands reaching out for her. Water was thrown her way and make-up artist fussed over her make-up. SheZow continued her walk over to where Shela told her she would be after the first number. She quickly dismissed everyone and entered the room.
"Guy," she was immediately greeted by a hug.
SheZow sighed in relief, "Kelly."
SheZow moved back from his sister and stared at her as she watched him in awe.
"I can't believe you're actually SheZow," she said. "I've wanted to be SheZow my whole life. And now my brother is SheZow."
Guy shook his head allowing hair to fall on his mouth. He spit it out and turned to his sister, "This is just a onetime thing only."
"But dude you looked wicked out there," said Maz. "You even winked at the audience."
"One thing only," said SheZow. "Maaaaaaz."
Maz rolled his eyes to stare back at the TV screen they were using to see the concert.
"Well champ you better get out there," said Shela. "The fans are waiting for another number."
SheZow nodded, "Okay but this ends here okay?"
Shela nodded, "Just a onetime thing only."

The song featured in this chapter (and probably in every other chapter) is a Barbie movie song. I wish I did original songs, but I don't have that kind of talent xD if you're interested the song is 'Find yourself in a song' and it appears in the movie Rock-n-Royals. I own nothing and all that.
