"Janet! We can't guarantee these people parts. We have to see everyone." Charles said. She turned around and looked him in the eye.

"You are my assistant, I am the official caster. I say these three already have their parts. Understood?" she said firmly. He rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Whatever." He grumbled. She rewarded him with a smile.

'That's better." She turned to the other three brightly. "You do realize what a commitment you three are making?" They nodded. "Then consider yourselves the next Tugger, Bomba, and Cassandra!" Sarah started jumping up and down and gave Janet a big hug. Everyone else was calmly thanking Janet.

"Forgive me for not leaping with joy, at about 10, when this sinks in and I'm awake, you can expect a leaping cat thanking you much more then I am now. Really I appreciate it." Becca said. Janet laughed.

"Well Rebecca, that's fine. I didn't expect anyone to arrive until 7:30. Now, would you show us The Mating Number. I realize Rebecca that you don't have your "Alonzo", but just do the other parts of it please. Give me a minute, and I'll get the music set up." John hugged Sarah and Rebecca.

"I told you coming early was a good idea!" Sarah whispered in his ear. She found her lips being held hostage by his. Rebecca elbowed him lightly.

"What?"

"This isn't the place for a make-out session. They're waiting for us to dance!"

They did the number, and people started showing up, ready to go.

The auditions started. First, everyone was given a number. 1-57. Sarah was 19, John was 43, and Rebecca was 17. First, warm-ups were done, both singing and dancing. Sarah did her number with a girl named Tatiana as Demeter. They were an amazing duo, despite the fact that they weren't close friends. They seemed to be sisters almost, in both the looks and the voices. They were equally mysterious, and seemed to care about each other in the song.

Pausing to explain something to the readers One minor detail I think I should explain. In my story, the dancers knew the dances of the characters they were auditioning for. I know it doesn't make much sense, but it's my story, so if you like it continue, if you don't , then go ahead and stop reading.

"Alright people, let's try Tatiana, Sarah, Rebecca and Janine. You all know your characters, doing the Grizabella number. Start from the beginning." The three girls walked out to the center of the floor. The others crowded around to the sides. "Remark the cat, who hesitates to walk to you, in the light of the dawn, which opens on her, like a grin. You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand. And you see the corner of her eye twists like a crooked pin." Rebecca got up and did her hiss, and slunk away from Janine, perfectly, Her blue eyes, closing as she looked at her.

"She haunted many of low resort, in her prime she rode off Tottenham Court, She flitted about the no mans land, from the rising sun, to the friendless hand. And the postman sighed as he scratched his head, you really had thought, she'd ought to be dead. And who'd have ever supposed that that, was Grizabella, the glamour cat." Sarah came over and put an arm around Tatiana, and the duet continued singing. When it was over, the three bowed, and the rest of the dancers applauded. They really had been awesome.

"She deserves that role." Rebecca whispered to John.

"Which one?"

"All of them. Some of the people here really shouldn't have showed. They just suck." She said laughing. He pinched her side playfully.

"You shouldn't say that. Even though you also have the character of Cassandra down."

"Hey, I'm gonna go out and have a cigarette. You coming?"

"Rebecca, what are you doing?" he said, glaring at her. "You swore you were trying to quit."

"I am, I'm limiting myself to ten a day. It used to be two packs. Stopping altogether is something that ain't happenin yet. Doesn't matter how hard I try." She said, and walked to her dance bag, rummaged through it, and slipped out a cigarette, and hid it in her hand.

"Where are you going?" Charles asked her.

"To get a breath of fresh air. Is that allowed oh great one?" she said sarcastically. He let her out, then walked over to Janet.

"Are you sure about Rebecca? She's leaving to get "fresh air"." She rolled her eyes.

"Charles, I have cast her already. And I definetly want Tatiana as Demeter. I have a musical to cast. I have already given her a part. She is allowed to leave. It's just not a very polite thing to do. She'll be back." She said, then turned back to the dancers. Alright, I want to see Jo-anne and Jordan for Mungo and Teazer. Alright? Let's go people, this is an audition, not a social hour." The twins walked out to the center of the stage.

"Mungo jerrie and Rumpleteazer, we're a notorious cat pair ov cats. As knock about clowns, quick change comediens tight rope walke's and acrobats. We 'ave an extensive reputation, we make ou' home in Victoria Grove, this is merely ou' center ov operation," the two went on in their Scottish accents. Sarah saw Rebecca walk out, and shook her head, heading over towards John. She leaned against him, and he slid his arm around her waist.

"You were great luv." He said to her. She kissed him lightly.

"Thanks baby. You're so sweet."

"John, Rachel, Eva, and the rest of the cats come out here for Tugger's number." He kissed Sarah.

"Wish me luck."

"You already have the part." He stuck his tongue out at her, then strolled up to the center.

"It's not going to be hard for us to act to be crazy about him." Said one of the girls to another. It was true, John was well wanted around the area. He was sweet, fun loving, and had muscles from here to Alaska. He also had a great face, almost animated at times, but other times, he was quite serious. The music started, and so did the act.

"Hey, um.is this the place for the Cats auditions?" a blond walked over to her. He was sexy in every way, and had an impeccable grace to him, and any normal girl would hit on him as soon as she saw him. But then again, Rebecca wasn't normal. 1 "Inside. What part are you auditioning for?"

"Tugger. You?"

"Cassandra. I already have the part. I was told by the caster."

"Congrats. Is Sarah Williams here?" he said.

"Yeah, old friends?" she asked.

"You could say that." He walked past her and into the building.n
