-*X*x*X*-
"Dawn, wake up!" A voice yelled, causing Dawn to jump off her bed.
"Ohh…my head…" Dawn moaned. She glanced at the clock, which read 7:00. She gasped, it was so early. She saw a woman above her, who helped her stand. It was Cynthia.
"Sorry about that, but you wouldn't wake up. I've been trying to since the past 15 minutes." She chuckled.
"Really? It's fine, but why do I have to be up so early?" Dawn asked, slightly yawning.
"The concert's at 12 midnight. I'm going to help you prepare for it and we have to start early." Cynthia said. Dawn nodded, "Okay, but please just try to throw water on my face instead of making me drop and break one of my bones.."
Cynthia chuckled, "I'll be careful, now come to the studio."
"Sure, I'll be there in a few." Dawn said.
As she quickly got dressed and ate a little breakfast snack, she proceeded to the studio, which wasn't too far from her apartment, just one block away. She was then greeted by Damon and Hani.
"Hello, Dawn, how are you?" Damon asked.
She smiled, "Doing great and everything, Damon. So, what should I do first?" Dawn asked.
"Well, Hani's going to take you to your dressing room and then after a little while, we'll commence with the preparations for your concert." He said. Hani smiled.
"Yay, okay then, let's go!" Hani quickly said before dragging Dawn to the dressing room.
"Well, she seems to be in a rush." Damon chuckled.
Dawn saw a room with a gold star on top and it had a label on the door marked, 'Dawn Berlitz'. Dawn gasped and smiled. She never thought she would see her official name on a door. Hani and Dawn then went inside. Dawn gasped again. The room seemed like a fancy suite. There was a king sized bed to sleep on, a giant hand operated closet, an air conditioner, a flat screen TV and more. The room was painted red and also, there were beanbag chairs on the floor.
"Wow." Dawn breathed.
"I know right! You have an amazing room!" Hani squealed.
"I've always wanted a room like this.." Dawn said, smiling. Dawn walked around the room to notice everything. She noticed a makeup counter and there was a big mirror. Instead of seeing her own reflection, she saw (or imagined) herself dressed in a red cocktail dress, as she was a huge star on a billboard. She sighed happily.
"One day, I'm going to be a huge star and I know I'll reach there." She said to no one in particular although Hani was hearing what she was saying.
"What are you talking about? You are gonna be a star and tonight, it'll be your start." Hani said.
"I'm just the opening, nothing really great." She shrugged.
"Hey, it's a start. Besides, with this, you'll get recognition from this." Hani said.
"You think I'm ready for this?" Dawn asked. She seemed a little nervous.
"I know you're ready, Dawn. Trust me and yourself." Hani said, and Dawn sighed a breath of relief.
"Okay, I have faith in myself. I'm gonna do it." Dawn said.
"Ughh, can't you guys have your little moment elsewhere?" Dawn and Hani turned to see the girl from yesterday at the front of the door, slightly smirking.
"You! What are you doing here?" Dawn asked.
"That's the girl you were telling me about?" Hani asked.
"Well, I was just minding my own business when I decided that I should tell you that the judges loved my audition yesterday." She bragged.
"Oh yeah, well Dawn knocked the judges' socks off yesterday." Hani said, a little annoyed with Ursula.
"Excuse me, I wasn't talking to you!" Ursula said. Dawn was getting annoyed by this girl every minute.
"Well, just so you know, I'm the opening performance for the Absol-ution concert tonight." Dawn said, trying to wipe off that smirk off of her face.
"I'm Ursula, it's hard to impress me." She stated in a rude tone while brushing her pink hair back behind her ear.
"Okay, fine, if the judges were sooo impressed by your audition, where are you performing?" Dawn asked.
"At the after party of the concert," Her smirk grew wider. Dawn's mouth drooped a little. "shocked, right? Yup, I just have more potential, Dawn."
"I have enough potential and I'll do my best to mop you on the floor." Dawn said with determination.
"Yeah, when she's through with you, you're gonna regret ever messing with her!" Hani said.
Ursula chuckled, "If you say so. Good luck, and again, you'll need it." She said before chuckling maniacally and leaving the room.
"Ughh, I despise her so much!" Dawn growled while sitting on the bed.
"Don't let her get to you." Hani said.
"She's just so frustrating and annoying and I just wanna break her teeth!" Dawn growled while pumping her fists.
"Relax, Dawn, just think about tonight! You gotta prepare for it, remember?" Hani asked. Dawn gasped.
"You're right, Hani. I'll start on the song." Dawn said as she brought out a notebook.
"Alright, then I'll leave you with your work and I'll tell Cynthia and your dance instructor you're ready." Hani said.
"Okay thanks!" Dawn said.
After a while, Cynthia and Rudy came in to prepare her for the concert. She was able to perfect her voice after some heavy preparations, but it was all worth it. Also, she practiced dancing new and modern moves that was instructed to her, not only that, she practiced performing those moves while she was singing. She was determined to leave an impression on the audience and beat Ursula and show her who's boss.
"Well, that was fun, now I'm hungry." Dawn said, holding her stomach a little.
"Yeah, but now there's something you should know." Cynthia said. Dawn's eyes widened.
"Yeah?"
"Since you're on your way to stardom, you're going to have to change your eating habits." Cytnhia said. Dawn was appalled.
"My eating habits? You mean I have to lose weight? But I thought I had a nice shape!" Dawn said.
"You do and we want it to stay that way. But we just want you to control your eating habits. Think of it like you're a model and you can't eat any fatty and greasy food whatsoever to remain fit, thin and sexy." Cynthia said. Dawn thought about it for a moment.
"Okay, I guess I understand. I can control my eating habits." Dawn said and Cynthia said.
"Great, and you'll do awesome tonight, I can just feel it." Cynthia said.
"Thank you." Dawn smiled.
After a few hours, Dawn got dressed. She was dressed in a light pink/peach dress with a black bow on the waist. The dress had a gold lining on the shoulders, which brought out the beauty even more. She wore silver earrings and silver high heels. All that was left was to do her make-up.
"I'm here…at your service!" Hani busted though the door with a make-up kit in her hand. Dawn smiled.
"Hey, are you going to do my make-up?" Dawn asked.
"Duh! Now get in the front of the mirror and let's get started." Hani said.
Dawn then sat down in front of the mirror, looking at herself. She held her hands together. The concert was 6 hours away and she was pretty nervous. Hani noticed this as she started putting mascara on her eyes.
"Nervous, huh?" Hani asked.
"How'd you know?" Dawn asked.
"I'd be, after all it would be my first performance." Hani smiled and Dawn chuckled a little.
"Yeah, my heart's beating more than 100 beats a second." Dawn breathed.
"It's all in your head Dawn. You'll do great!" Hani encouraged her. She then started putting some light pink eye shadow.
"I really hope so." Dawn said.
After putting on some light powder and some lip-gloss, Dawn then looked in the mirror. She was impressed, she looked stunning. "Wow, you're really great!"
"I know!" Hani giggled. "Now go break a leg!" Hani said.
"Thank you so much." Dawn got up and hugged her.
The time from then until the concert seemed like a blink, before she knew it she was in the waiting room for the concert waiting for her name to be called. "Excuse me," Dawn jumped, "sorry about that." Dawn turned around gasped. Standing in front of her was the band Absol-ution. The band consisted of five players; Absol the lead singer, Lucario the guitarist, Meowstic the bassist, Zangoose their drummer, and lastly Frosslass the pianist.
Absol had white hair with a streak of dark blue, he had pale skin and red eyes, and he was wearing a white leather jacket with a dark blue shirt, white dance pants and white shoes.
Lucario's eyes were red like Absol's, but his hair was blue with several streaks of black. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt, spiked fingerless gloves, and blue pants and black boots.
Meowstic was one of the shortest of the group. He's eyes were blue green and his hair was white like Absol's, but there were no streaks. He was wearing almost all navy blue with the exception of a white scarf around his neck.
Zangoose was kind of intimidating. Her eyes were pink, but they were intense, her short white hair had a lightning streak of red running across it. She was wearing a red outfit with a red lightning bolt running across her entire outfit with red fuzzy armbands on her wrists. Her nails were really long and her heels seemed too high to walk in.
Frosslass had the palest complexion out of the entire group, she was wearing a white and light purple dress with a white hood that was pulled over her head slightly concealing her light blue hair and ice blue eyes.
Absol seemed to smile seeing Dawn's reaction, "First time meeting a large celebrity group?" Dawn nodded still in a daze. "So you're our opening act?"
"Y-yes I am." Dawn said her voice a little shy.
Lucario took note of your nervousness, "First performance I see."
Meowstic nodded, "A big step in any star's career."
"Oh I've performed before," Dawn said, "Just never in front of this many people and-"
"Before you got your contract." Zangoose said finishing her sentence. Dawn nodded.
"You really have nothing to worry about," Frosslass said, "all this nervousness is in your head. Think of it this way, you must be good if your opening for us." Dawn giggled.
"Excuse me," a call guy said coming into the room, "Dawn Berlitz?" Dawn raised her hand, "You're on in five minutes." Dawn gulped and went out the door.
Dawn was listening to the announcer waiting for her cue, "-now before we get to our main event, we have an opener for all of you. She may be a little new, but she has real talent. Put your hands together for Dawn Berlitz!" Dawn fingered the mic attached to her ear thatlead to her mouth, took a deep breath and walked onto the stage a spotlight illuminating her. She could see hundreds maybe even thousands of people applauding her.
She walked to the center of the stage waiting for the music to start, but there was only silence. Dawn was getting nervous, then she pictured Ursula's taunting face, "C'mon are you going to sing?" she heard someone's voice call from the crowd.
Dawn looked at where the voice was coming from, a few more joined him. Dawn's eyes narrowed and she almost looked disgusted as her mind went to what Ursula said to her this earlier. Then the beat started to play, she smirked and started to sing. She was going to show Ursula who was the better singer.
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know
Dawn's body started to move along to the beat of the song and she started to dance, Rudy's lessons were really paying off.
And you over think
Always speak
Cryptically
Dawn scoffed, but inside she was excited seeing that parts of the audience were starting to love her.
I should know
That you're no good for me
Dawn flipped her hair back revealing her smile before going into the chorus.
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
From a special box in the concert hall Hani Damon and the rest of the watched her get into it, "Go Dawn go!" Hani cheered her friend on.
(You) You don't really want to stay, no
(You) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
The audience was starting to dance a little bit as well. The energy dawn was giving off was spreading to everyone.
We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now you're plain boring
Dawn's nervousness was gone, now she was dancing and really getting into the music.
I should know that
You're not gonna change
Dawn Sang with more intensity she continued to sing the next chorus.
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
Dawn started pointing as different boys she could see in the audience as if she was singing to them.
(You) You don't really want to stay, no
(You) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
There was a moment of silence before Dawn sang the next chorus and the audience pretty much jumped up as the beat of the next leg of the song sounded.
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
Damon watched Dawn perform like a father would proudly watch his daughter. His Bluetooth beeped and he pressed the button. Someone spoke to him and he stood up and he stood up and walked out of the room.
Dawn was putting everything into this performance, she was getting a little tired, but she wasn't going to let that get in her way. Not after getting this far.
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
Dawn sang that last part of the chorus hoping to end big.
(You) You don't really want to stay, no
(You) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down.
The song ended and seconds later cheers and screaming rounds off applause were heard from every corner of the stadium. Dawn was feeling really pumped with adrenaline. "How y'all doing tonight?" cheers gave Dawn her answer and she giggled, "well I'm glad I was able to get you all hyped up, but you were here to see me. Why don't we get to the main event? I'm Dawn Berlitz and here is the stars of the night; Absol-ution!" the crowd went crazy as the stage was filling with fog and then five people with instruments started to rise up from hidden compartments under the stage.
Absol walked forward, "I'm not sure we can follow a performance like that." Dawn blushed and hoped it wasn't visible, "before we let this little lady leave let's give her one more round of applaulse." The crowd went nuts, which only deepened Dawn's blush and she walked off stage.
The rest of the concert was a big hit, Absol-ution played a few songs like 'Vida la Vida', 'Break Your Heart' and finished with 'Clocks'. Dawn walked back into the waiting area where she found everyone else waiting for her.
Hani squealed seeing her friend and hugged her when she got close, "You did awesome out there!" she said.
Dawn giggled, "I guess I had nothing to be nervous about."
Rudy smirked, "With my moves there's no way you would've failed." He said in a confident voice. Cynthia rolled her eyes.
"You were really getting into the music Dawn." Cynthia said.
Dawn smiled, "Thanks Cynthia," she looked around for her agent, "where's Damon."
"I'm right here," he said coming through the door, "and I have big news." Everyone looked at him, "Someone very high in the performing field just gave me a call, he was very impressed with your performance and would like to see more of you. He's considering sending you on a tour through the Regions."
Dawn gasped, "Really?"
"That's awesome," Hani said, "you totally deserve it Dawn."
"Thanks Hani." Dawn said.
Damon nodded, "Yes you do, but I wanted your opinion before we made any final decisions."
Dawn looked around at everyone before answering, "Let's do it."
A news line comes up and an anchorman appears on the screen, "It's been a few weeks since our newest star Dawn Berlitz made her first appearance at the last Absolution Concert in Lumoise," He said a picture of the blunette appeared next to him, "she's had a quick rise to fame and is clearly a big hit, but she's not the only one." A picture of a girl with pink hair replaces Dawn, "Another star named Ursula Bryans has made quite a rise to fame herself. She is considered Dawn's biggest competition and there are rumors going around that she may be getting even more popular than the Sapphire Princess and-" the anchorman is cut off by the TV turning off.
Damon in sitting in front of the TV deep in thought; Dawn was becoming a big hit, yet so was Ursula. He wanted Dawn to be the best out there, but how could he do that. There was only one of her- wait a minute. An idea came to him, "That's it." he said out loud.
Hani looked over at her uncle while putting away her make-up equipment, she adjusted her glasses, "What is?"
Damon looked over at his niece, "I think I know how we can get Dawn to be more popular than Ursula."
"What?" she asked.
Damon smiled, "We need to get Dawn a singing partner."

The scene fades and we're back with our two authors.
W. R. Winters: Now that was a good episode. Don't you think?
DawnForever101: It was awesome! But now we're left with a question, 'Who will Dawn's new singing partner be?'
W. R. Winters: *chuckles* Well we already know. *turns to the readers* Why don't any of you take a guess as to who it is? If any of you get it right, there's a chance we can have you in the opening of your show.
DawnForever101: *looks at her co-author* We can do that?
W. R. Winters: Apparently. Well, be sure to leave a review telling us what you thought, and we're still taking requests.
Both: This is W. R. Winters and DawnForever101 signing off
