The next day at the Rosewood Playhouse Theater. A familiar Mexican girl comes up to them, "Hi Wed" shouted Socorro,

"Socorro," Red asked, "You are auditioning too?"

"I am" Socorro smiled, "Miguel wanted me to use my singing wisely and practice writing postcards to Ella."

In the lobby, Emoji sat down, that's when a black woman and an Asian man came up, "Ladies and Gents" shouted the woman, "Welcome to the audition for One In A Million. Teri is the name, to, "Phil" hosting is the game"

"It's the hosts of One in A Million" whispered Abby

"I know" Simon replied.

"You will sing infront of our three celebrity judges." Phil explained, "Each of them will select one lucky contestant for private coaching before the finalists go head to head on national TV. Our panel of judges will weigh in and open up a vote to America. Whoever wins gets 25,000 dollars"

"25,000 dollars," Nick said, "That's enough to buy a soccer team in Rio."

To pass the time, Emoji decided to get to know the other contestants better. "Excuse me," asked a Latina girl with a leather jacket, "Are those seats taken?"

"They are" Red answered, "We're Emoji

"Jaylen Riaz" she greeted, "I camped out here since 9 pm last night. I really wanted to sing on One in A Million. I've been to at least five auditions in 5 cities."

"You like a spy" Simon said,

"OMG I just love your smiley outfits" Jaylen said.

"Really?" Nora asked with a smile.

"NO!" Jaylen rudely answered as she laughed.

"Jaylen Riaz" Phil shouted, "You're up next."

"Catch ya Frowney Faces" shouted Jaylen as she walked.

"Guess we're not going to make any new friends here" Bram suggested.

"In my world" shouted a Latina girl, "That's a good thing"

She had a brown pixie gut, wore dark clothing, and had tattoos of devils on them. Abby stared blankly into her eyes, "Abby, Abby" Nick said as he clapped his hands in front of her, "The audition"

"Lo Siento" Abby smiled.

"Forgive her Chica," Nick said, "Abby gets loco when it comes to both boys and girls.

"If you guys aren't making everyone jealous," she said, "It means you aren't worthy being jealous of. In my book, it's a sign that girl found you so threatening. Where are my manners, I'm-"

"Raleigh Carrera." Red finished, "I listened to your RnB songs. If I know anything about her, she knows how to live up to her reputation as a jerk, though she has a soft side"

"What that magazine calls you again?" Nick asked, "RnB's Timbbomb? Puerto Rico's Hottest Export?"

"Something like that" Raleigh replied, "And don't worry, whenever I get in trouble with the law, I got charged with community service. Judge was a fan."

"Community service," Simon asked.

"COOL" Emoji shouted,

"My boss usually threatens to fire me if I yawn in front the customer." Nora said, "And you got to go away with being bad."

"It just goes to show" Raleigh replied, "People drop principles in a heartbeat if it means cozying up to a celebrity. My team got me on this tour to clean up my act. Volunteering, kissing babies, TV appearances, so and so. I'm here to judge the finals this week."

"Oh great" Nora groaned, "I forgot to restring my guitar and we're up in 5 minutes."

"Use mine" Raleigh replied, "I know this means a lot to you."

"Thank you," Nora said, "I won't ever break it."

In the theater, Emoji got onstage. They started to perform It's Gonna Be Me, Nynsc.

"Where did you get that guitar?" asked Avery.

"Raleigh Carerra gave it to me" Nora answered.

It's gonna be me
Ooh, yeah

You might been hurt, babe
That ain't no lie
You've seen them all come and go, oh
I remember you told me
That it made you believe in
No man, no cry
Maybe that's why

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
You don't want to lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally
Get to love somebody
Guess what
It's gonna be me

You've got no choice, babe
But to move on, and you know
There ain't no time to waste
You're just too blind, to see
But in the end, ya know it's gonna be me
You can't deny
So just tell me why

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
You don't want to lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally
Get to love somebody (somebody)
Guess what (guess what)
It's gonna be me

"Nora" Avery smiled, "that was simply magnificent. You were born to be a star."

"Thank you" Nora smiled.

"You guys were good up there" Avery replied "You just might be the real deal."

Later, they announce the three competitors who will be continuing, Socorro Rivera, Jaelyn Riaz, and Emoji.
