Chpt. 3: Tryouts(day one of the talent show)
I awoke from a nightmare that evening in a cold sweat. I had dreamt that I was fighting Milo in a dim corridor lit only by a single orb of light held by Julienne. Matt and Sasha were fighting alongside eachother against Seth. Spencer was in the corner shaking violently with his head in Lucinda's lap. He was squeezing her hand and whispering" Don't let them touch me. Please don't let go. " . I looked away for a millisecond to check on Jennifer and Milo had me down. I woke up as he brought down the knife.
I looked at my opened window and thought I saw a figure jump out. Jason licked my hand and nuzzled it. I straightened out my bra and shorts and pulled the sheet up to my waist. With my pup at my side I fell asleep feeling secure. Little did I know that I was,in fact,being watched.
Milo's POV:
I was watching Alice as she slept. She was a fascinating creature indeed. She wore little make-up and showed off her natural beauty unknowingly. Unlike Penelope,whose natural beauty she tried to enhance with alot of make-up. " Please Milo,don't. No. " Alice moaned almost erotically,in her sleep. I remembered how just that morning she had come downstairs in short shorts and a bra. It took all my strength not to stop time a pounce on her.
I decided not to get too close though. Since I was to leave in four days time. My mission was to bring Poseidon's Triton to Lady Echidna. She was going to grant me one wish after she released her children and a few titans. I already had a few followers. My thoughts wandered to the previous night when I kissed Alice. Her lips were soft and her breath was sweeter than any of Bunny's candy. Alice's hellhound puppy watched me as I leaned against the wall,but didn't make a sound.
Alice bolted up suddenly and I leapt out the window. Landing on the balls of my feet softly,
I walked back to my cabin silently.
Morning... (Normal. )
I woke up the next morning with Becca on my chest,staring me in the face. I yelped and jumped up. " Ali,guess what?I see bread people. " she laughed. I sighed and got dressed. I wore a black spandex dress with tights and combat boots. My hair was in curled pigtais under my fedora. I went outside and heard the most angelic voice in the world. I decided to follow it to the source. I was lead to a tree.
In the tree was Matt with a guitar. He didn't seem to notice me and I snuck up on him. " Hey Matt!How's it goin'?" I yelled. Matt jumped and fell out,landing on his tushy. Luckily it was only six feet off the ground. I laughed and he blushed,storming away. I kept up with him and started asking questions;" You sing really well. " " Thanks. " " Did you sign up for the talent show?" " No. " " Why?" " Because I didn't want to. " " You wanna sing with me?" " Whatever. " " I'm sorry for scaring you,now let's go get Julienne. " " Why?" " You'll see. " . He gave me a worried look and I smiled back.
We went up to the stage and Mr. D sneered. Julienne was dressed in a leotard and we had a ballet bar. Matt and I each held a microphone. Matt was wearing baggy clothes. " Start when your ready. " Mr. D hissed impatiently. " I'm ready when you are. " Matt smiled. I nodded to Julienne,who gripped the exercise bar,and we both held our microphones to our lips.
" Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now" I sang,my eyes shut. Julienne was doing some ballet in the background.
" Ya, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you starin' at that phone in your lap
And you hopin' but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel in the sand
What would you wish for if you had one chance?
So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night" Matt rapped. I clapped my hands to the rhythm and nodded. I noticed a crowd was gathering in front of the stage. At my cue I started off again.
" Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)" I smiled to myself. Nodding to the beat,I scanned the crowd. All of our friends were in the crowd,including Milo. Matt grinned as he sang with all of his heart.
" Ya, ya, somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, Before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Ya, back when I was tryin' to get a tip at Subway
And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it
But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant
I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes outta' airplanes
Then maybe oh maybe I'll go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain't nobody listen to my mixtape
And back Before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is fo' the hater, what's up Bobby Ray?
So can I get a wish
To end the politics
And get back to the music
That started this shit?
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta' airplanes. " . We put our arms across eachother's shoulders as we sang our duet. Milo's eyes flared in anger and jealousy. I smirked and put my arm tighter. Matt saw him and we started our verse.
" Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)" . I dropped my microphone to my side and listened as Matt sang the outro. He closed his eyes and held the mic to his lips. Taking a deep breath,he sang the last verse.
" I could really use a wish right now
(I could really use a wish right now)
I-I-I could really use a wish right now
(I could really use a wish right now)
Like, like, like shootin' stars
(Like shootin' stars)now
(I could really use a wish right now)
I-I-I-I could really use a wish right
A wish, a wish right now
(A wish right now) " . After that,he dropped the microphone and walked off stage. I bowed with Julienne and waited for Mr. D's response. At the judge's table were Becca,Alina,Trent,and of course,Mr. D. " Well,I'm not sure what to think right now. But I'm Paula and you pass. " Becca smiled. " I don't know how to act. Should I be cruel like Simon or airy like Paula. I'm not sexually threatened by you,so your okay. " Alina said,acting like Carol. " Okay,Check it,Check it,Checkit out,Checkit out. Now that I've got your attention,look!I'm skinny!Your cool with me dawg. 'aight?" Trent grinned. Mr. D frowned at them and sighed," It's the people's choice. Move on. " .
" Woo-hoo!" I cheered,jumping off stage. I went to go find Matt immediatly.
Sorry if I didn't get your OC in!I'll try again next time. Blame the economy! G'night everybody. ~Kitty
