Ok… here is CHAPTER 7 OF T.A.E.H.! Disclaimer: I wanna own Twilight and High School Musical, but I don't, and I can't, so I settle for Fan-Fics. (: ~Chapter Seven- Auditions~ -Bella- What the hell was I doing here? Standing in the theatre, I began to hyperventilate, wondering why I had decided to do this in the first place. Right- I wanted to be the girl cast alongside Edward. The stupid thing was, he probably wasn't going to be in the musical if I didn't ask. So if I didn't get the role, and Sharpay did, well, let's just say, she'd be spending some time with Edward. That was why I was going to win the role. To make sure I got at least one part in the musical, I decided to not only audition in a pair with Edward, I also decided to audition individually. So, I was standing behind the curtains, wearing dark grey skinny leg jeans, a white shirt, and a black vest, with some cool Chuck Taylors that Alice bought me, waiting for my name to be called. Well, at least my audition wouldn't be as bad as Emmett's… I thought, as I took a deep breath, tying to calm myself down. That was hilarious… -Flashback- Just before I was due to go and get ready for my individual audition, Edward and Alice started to roar with laughter. "What's wrong?" I asked, nervous they had seen me muck up my act or something. "Emmett…" was all Alice would say before she started to laugh again. "You have to see this before you go and get ready!" A few minutes later, Ms Darbus called, "Next up, Mr Emmett Cullen!" Emmett came out and he was grinning from ear-to-ear. I think I saw Rosalie as well, and she looked down-right annoyed and very embarrassed. Edward and Alice were still laughing. And then, the music started, and Emmett started singing: "Oh I'm a Gummy Bear Yes, I'm a Gummy Bear! Oh, I'm a Yummy, Chummy, Funny, Lucky Gummy Bear! Don't call me jelly bear, 'coz I'm a Gummy Bear Oh I'm a movin', groovin', jammin' singin' Gummy Bear "Oh Yeah! "Haha Duba duba yum yum By this time, I was laughing, along with the rest of the theatre, except for Rosalie, who I saw scowling. The background singers sang: "Gummy Gummy Gummy Gummy Gummy bear" While Emmett said: "Pop!" And he began to sing again: "Oh, I'm a Gummy Bear "Oh Yeah! "Haha Duba duba yum yum "Gummy Gummy Gummy Gummy Gummy bear" the background singers sang again. "Pop! "Oh, I'm a Gummy Bear "Oh Yeah! "Haha Duba duba yum yum "Gummy Gummy Gummy Gummy Gummy bear" "Pop! "Oh, I'm a Gummy Bear "Oh Yeah! "Haha Duba duba yum yum "Gummy Gummy Gummy Gummy Gummy bear" "Pop!" As the song ended, I was doubled over in laughter. My stomach hurt, and tears were streaming from my eyes. Emmett bowed, and everybody clapped. Ms Darbus looked extremely shocked, and very amused, and we heard her say to Emmett, "Check the noticeboard to see if you made the call-backs." "You can't be as bad as him!" Alice said, still laughing. "Rosalie's probably gonna kill him for humiliating her so much!" -End Flashback- Chuckling from the memory, I then heard Ms Darbus call, "Now, the last of the individual auditions, Miss Isabella Swan!" As I was about to go onto the stage, I heard a chorus of, "It's Bella, Ms D!" I took a deep breath and smiled. Two weeks of long preparation had gone into this. I was singing a song called "Decode" by Paramore, a song so ironic, that I decided to sing it, and dedicate it Edward, though I told this to no-one. It also fit the musical as well. Kelsi had managed to teach me some very basic guitar chords I could play along with the song, as we both weren't good at playing the guitar. Alice went to the mall and shopped happily for my outfit. I had managed to move to the music, all over the stage, without falling twice now, and I was really hoping I wasn't going to trip over something today. Then, the music started, and I began to sing. "How can I decide what's right? "Nor could I ever own what's mine The music flew through me, and I moved to it. As the microphone was on a stand, I moved that too. "How did we get here "The truth is hiding in your eyes "What kind of man that you are "I'm screaming, I love you so," I sang. While I was singing that, the background singers sang: "On my own" "But my thoughts you can't decode," I sang, thinking of Edward. Ironic, much? "How did we get here?
Haha Duba duba yum yum
Haha Duba duba yum yum
Three times you can bite me"
Yes, I'm a Gummy Bear!
Oh, I'm a Yummy, Chummy, Funny, Lucky Gummy Bear.
Don't call me jelly bear, 'coz I'm a Gummy bear,
Oh I'm a movin', groovin', jammin', singin' Gummy Bear
Haha Duba duba yum yum
Haha Duba duba yum yum
Three times you can bite me"
Yes, I'm a Gummy Bear!
Oh, I'm a Yummy, Chummy, Funny, Lucky Gummy Bear.

Oh I'm a movin', groovin', Jammin', Singin' Gummy Bear

Oh I'm a movin', groovin', jammin', singin' Gummy Bear
Haha Duba duba yum yum
Haha Duba duba yum yum
Three times you can bite me"
When you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight
All the time
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time"
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own"
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know"
During the instrumental, I picked up the electric guitar, and started playing the chords I had learnt.
"Do you see what we've done? "How did we get here "I think I know The theatre erupted into applause, and I felt the blush spread over my cheeks. "Miss Swan, please check the board if you make the call-backs." I walked off the stage, and saw Gabriella and Troy smiling. "Great job, Bella!" they exclaimed, and I gave them a smile. "YOU did GREAT!!!" Alice said, squealing, as she bounced up and down. "Amazing. Brilliant! And you looked awesome in those clothes." "Thanks. You did dress me, after all," I blushed. I got off the stage. "Next up, is Troy Bolton, and Gabriella Montez!" Ms Darbus said. They were just wearing the clothes they had worn to school, and Kelsi began to play. Then, they began to sing. ~Troy- Gabriella- Both- "Na Na Na Na "You know the words There's a reason "When you dream there's a chance you'll find Or happy ever after "Your harmony to the melody "And like a common thread "Na na na na (Ohh) "It's like I knew you before we met (Before we met) "I'm saying words I never said "As I am You understand "Oh you're singing to me (Ohh yeah) "When I hear my favourite song "It's living in all of us "Together we're gonna sing (Yeah) "Na na na na (Ohh yeah) "Na na na na (Ohh yeah) "Yeah it's living in all of us "You are the music in me (Yeah)" I began to clap like crazy. Gabriella and Troy bowed, and they left the stage. Then, Ms Darbus called, "Ryan and Sharpay Evans!" Sharpay came out, looking like a pink Barbie. Ryan appeared next to her, looking just as glam. Then, they began to sing. ~Ryan- Sharpay- Both "Imagine having everything we ever dreamed "Imagine first audition after college "Yeah right!" "You gotta believe it!" "-Sharpay and what's his name?" "Sound exciting?" "Personal stylist, agent and a publicist-" "With you we can win!" "Win a part?" "That's better!" "Don't you want it all? "You want it all, you want it, you know that you want it "I want it all "Ahem…" "Red carpet, rose bouquets, crowd waiting back stage" "Invitations, standing ovations" "Gonna be celebrities!" "Photographs, fan clubs, give the people what they love" "Yeah!" "Times Square, jet setters, sequels "Sold out shows!" "Don't you see that bigger is better? And better is bigger? "I want it all! "I want it all! "Dance!" "I want it, I-I I want it, I want it, I want it, "I Want It All! I want it, I want it, I want it! (I WANT IT ALLL) "Paris!" That was an extravaganza, all piled into a few minutes. I clapped, stunned at their performance. Although it wasn't natural, like Troy and Gabriella's, it was like a Broadway number. I was real nervous now- Edward and I would be up soon. I was about to duck out when Ms Darbus called, "And next up is… Ms Bella Swan, again, but this time, she's singing with Mr Edward Cullen!" I felt sick. I walked up to the stage, again, and Edward was playing the piano with the song. As he began to play, I took one shaky breath, one glance at Edward, and he began to play. ~Edward-Bella-Both~ "I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away "I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine "I've been looking for someone to shed some light "All I want to do is find a way back into love "There are moments when I don't know if it's real" "All I want to do is find a way back into love We looked at each other, and smiled. Everybody was clapping for us, and smiling. Ms Darbus looked at us, and smiled, and said, "Check the noticeboard to see if you made the call-backs." Then, she looked around the theatre, and said, "Any last minute sign-ups? No? Good, done." She turned off her lamp, and we all filed out of the theatre. "You did great," Troy and Gabriella said to us, smiling. "Thanks," I replied, smiling back. "Now, we just gotta see who made the call-backs…"
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here

Don't you want it?"
"Maybe…"
"Can't you see it?"
"Kinda…"

"A part for me?"
"Well of course!"
"Keep talking."
"You and I all the fame-"
"Inviting."
"Let's do it then!"
"Listening..."
"But where do I fit into this?"
"Think bigger!"
"Becomesuperstars?"
"Don't you see that bigger is better?
And better is bigger?
A little bit is never enough

My name in lights at Carnage Hall

"Can't you see it?"
"Yeah!"
"They're gonna love me!"
"I mean… us!"
'I'm with her, don't stop me, I'm not the paparazzi!"
"Magazines?"
"Yes please!"
"Now you're excited!"
"I like it!"
"Let's do it then!"

"Think bigger!"
"And the Oscar goes to..."

"Moscow!"
"Bollywood!"
"Hollywood!"
"NEW YORK CITY!!
WE WANT IT… AAAALL!!"
"I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
Just in case I ever need 'em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh"
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
Not just somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions"
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
"Or if anybody feels the way I feel"
"I need inspiration"
"Not just another negotiation"
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end"
Okay! That's Chapter 7 done! Jeez, you must be SO angry with me, or you might've thought I was dead. Sorry. I had no ideas, and I was dying of SERIOUS WRITERS BLOCK. Then, I watched High School Musical 3: Senior Year, and it helped me just finish this chapter.
Thank you for all the song suggestions. However thank you to BeautyandtheBeast101575 for suggesting this song- when I saw your PM I realised this was a really good song, and I love it, but I never thought to use it.
So, who do you want to make the call-backs? Bella? Sharpay? Ryan? Edward? Troy? Gabriella? Or, my personal favourite, Emmett? PM or review me your thoughts.
Again, really sorry for not updating for like, forever, but I'll try to update soon. Send me your ideas for what you want in this story!
