A/N: Hey, it's xxMylifeunwrittenxx! I just wanted to say that the chapters will usually be split in half between Mitchie's POV and Shane's POV. Usually they'll tell of what Mitchie goes through that day or night, then the same for Shane. This chapter is different because Shane's doesn't start at the beginning of auditions; it starts right after Mitchie sings. I just wanted to let you know. Oh and I suggest listening to the songs while reading. Mitchie's is Out Tonight from Rent and Shane's is One Song Glory, also from Rent.


Chapter Two: The Auditions

Mitchie's POV

This audition process is so long! I swear, it I have to stand in line any longer, I will kill somebody! The line moved forward and I stood infront of a lady. Thank you!

"Name?" she asked me.

"Mitchie Torres."

"Who are you auditioning for?"

"Mimi."

"Okay. Here's your number, looks like your number 24, and there are only 25 people trying out for leads."

"Great." I say and walk away. I sit close to the very back of the auditorium. I look over the lines and song that I have to audition.

"'Out Tonight'. Great Mimi song. Okay. And the scene where Roger thinks Mimi is dead. Nice." I say to myself. I heard someone sit about three rows behind me but brushed it off and paid attention to the other people. There were some talented kids here, and some shouldn't even be auditioning because they were horrible.

After a little while, there were only six people in the room: Mrs. Randle, her assistant in this production, the pianist, Tess Tyler- who was auditioning- me, and the mystery person behind me. I blew it off again and paid attention to Tess.

I was usually her understudy, but not now, it's my time to shine. Tess was also auditioning for Mimi, but I didn't care.

Tess finished soon after, and now it was my time to shine. I know it sounds stupid but it's true! Tess walked out of the auditorium, so now there were only five people.

"Mitchie Torres?" Mrs. Randle called out.

"Yes?"

"It's your turn. And Mr. Gray?"

"Yes?" said a voice behind me.

"Could you please come down here? I'm going to audition you and Ms. Torres together."

"Okay," we both answer. What is she doing? Wait, Gray? As in Shane Gray? I heard a movement behind me so I get up also. We walk down the aisle to the stage and we get up there. I turn around to check, yep, it's him.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, I just need to get home to my four month old daughter."

"No problem, Mrs. Randle." I tell her.

"Okay, Mitchie! Let's sing your song first."

"Okay."

The pianist started playing before I opened up my mouth and sang.

"What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It say, 'Time for danger'
've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels to damn much like home
When the Spanish babies cry

I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight – tonight
"

It says 'I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger'

I've had a knack from way back
Of breaking the rules once I learn the
Game
Get-up life's too quick

I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance it the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me

Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play?
Let's run away
We wont be back
Before it's New Years Day
Take me out tonight (meow)

When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That your on line with the feline of
Avenue B

Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight

In the evening I

So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die

Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in
Heat?
Just take me out tonight

Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight

When I finished, I looked around and saw many astonished faces. I even saw that Shane looked amazed.

"That was wonderful! Now Shane, 'One Song Glory'." Mrs. Randle told us. I sat down to watch Shane's performance.


Shane's POV

Mitchie's performance was amazing! Tess was nothing compared to her! I know what you are probably thinking, 'Tess is your girlfriend, you should be supporting her.' But not today! Mitchie is way better.

I'm now waiting for the pianist and Mrs. Randle to get ready for me to sing. I'm auditioning for Roger, the man guy lead person, who is an up and coming musician with HIV. The song I have to sing, 'Glory', really inspires some of my music. It's a great song. These people are taking to long.

"Mrs. Randle, may I play the guitar for this song?"

"Sure, Shane, there is one over there."

"Thanks." I grabbed it and Mrs. Randle nodded. I then started to play the intro before singing like Mitchie did.

"I'm Writing One Great Song Before I ...
One Song
Glory
One Song
Before I Go
Glory
One Song To Leave Behind

Find One Song
One Last Refrain
Glory
From The Pretty Boy Front Man
Who Wasted Opportunity

One Song
He Had The World At His Feet
Glory
In The Eyes Of A Young Girl
A Young Girl
Find Glory
Beyond The Cheap Colored Lights

One Song
Before The Sun Sets
Glory - On Another Empty Life
Time Flies - Time Dies
Glory - One Blaze Of Glory
One Blaze Of Glory - Glory

Find
Glory
in a song that rings true
truth like a blazing fire
an eternal flame

Find
One Song
A Song About Love
Glory
From The Soul Of A Young Man
A Young Man

Find
The One Song
Before The Virus Takes Hold
Glory
Like A Sunset
One Song
To Redeem This Empty Life

Time Flies
And Then - No Need To Endure Anymore
Time Dies"

I got an applause from everyone in the room, especially Mitchie, who's facial expression told me that she was expecting something less from me.

"Okay, now I'll give you two a few minutes to rehearse. I'll be back."

"Hi," I greet Mitchie.

"Hello," she replied. "So why are you trying out? Is it a joke or-"

"I'm quite serious about the play. I'm actually into music and acting, only nobody lets me show it. I'm always having to do what other people tell me to do."

"Okay. I'm glad to know that I get to audition with a serious actor."

"Great!"

"Okay, Mr. Gray and Ms. Torres. Ready?" Mrs. Randle asked us.

We nodded. Mitchie laid down and I grabbed her, like it was in the play/movie. "Mr. Gray from 'Mimi?'."

"Mimi?" I asked, in character, looking at her lovingly and caring.

She coughed then gasped for air, then sat up and looked around. "I was headed towards this warm, white light," she paused for dramatic effect. "And I swear," another pause, "Angel was there." Pause. "And she looked good," she said while reaching out to where Collins would be. "And she said 'Turn around, girlfriend, and listen to that boy's song."

I quietly laughed before pulling her close, "You're drenched." I said with a slight smile. I saw Mrs. Randle lean forward in her seat, before applauding.

"Thank you so much! I'll have the results posted by tomorrow at the end of lunch. You may go now."

I quickly thanked her before Mitchie and I left.

"So I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll see you around."

I can't wait for tomorrow!
