"Sonny With a Real Chance"
By Tenshi Noyo Ryu Taiga
Chapter Three:
Sonny sighed. She knew it was wrong, but she really couldn't help it. She was so curious! She cautiously stepped into the familiar waiting room, surprised when she noticed there was no one there. She checked her watch; it was the right time. Sonny walked up to the receptionist to ask what was going on when the woman spoke first.
"They're waiting for you. Please leave your cell phone here."
Sonny blinked, but did what she was told. She walked through and slowly opened the door. Sonny blushed when the door gave a loud creak causing everybody inside to turn and look at her.
"Ah, I see the last one is here," one of the judges from before stated, waving her in impatiently.
Sonny opened the door all the way and took a step inside only to accidentally kick over a bucket and a mop. She blushed crimson and hastily picked them up, ignoring the light chuckling from the men and women in the room. She wondered what this was all about. She had thought she was here for a call back, but this appeared to be some type of meeting…
Sonny made her way over to a makeshift line and stood by a really cute guy who gave her a crooked smile before returning his attention to the four judges standing in front of them. Sonny brushed some invisible lint off the front of her pants as she blushed at the attention, but then also focused on the group in front of her. She didn't understand what was happening and wondered if she had missed the explanation.
The older blonde woman stepped forward and, in a quiet, but excited voice, began speaking to the group, "Congratulations, you have all been chosen for the movie roles! I understand that there was a lot of secrecy about this, but once you realize what movie we're working towards and thus the reason for all this secrecy, you'll understand," She waved to a nearby table and a stack of papers on it, "This is a contract. Sign it and we will tell you what movie you have been auditioning for," She then motions toward the other end of the same table, "This contract over here says you accept the role and the conditions involved with it- appearances, promotions and whatnot," But at this her smile disappeared and the seemingly friendly woman took on a more serious face, "But most importantly, in both these contracts, you are not allowed to tell anyone about your role or for what movie, whether you accept the position or not. This movie is very secret; we're already getting whispers of hype in Hollywood. Anyone who breaches this contract forfeits 10 million and the right to play in the movie. In addition, he is not allowed to work as an actor for a period of three years. Is this excessive? Maybe. But we must do what we must do to protect the movie rights."
This announcement caused the large group of actors to start whispering amongst themselves. Sonny glanced nervously around. Everyone seemed to be thinking hard on their decision. Sonny felt uncomfortable, but she had already made her decision with Devil Sonny. She wanted to know.
Sonny confidently walked up to the table, even though she felt anything but confident on the inside. She felt the stares on the other digging into her back but she picked up the pen and shakily signed the first contract and laid it in the center. She walked back to where she had stood previously.
Several people stared at her some more before the cute guy she was standing next to smirked and also went up to sign the contract and dropped it on top of her already finished one. Soon everybody was signing and a large pile was created.
The judges picked through them and made sure everybody signed, "Alright, everybody. It is time to announce the movie. Congratulations, people, you've been selected to play a role in the upcoming hit 'Twilight'!" the blonde announced.
