Amber POV

Amber, Molly and Jasmine hurried to the sound room. A man sat in a chair behind hundreds of different buttons.

"Hi I'm Jaz." Jasmine held out her hand for the man to shake. "I'm Chyna's BFF."

"Who's Chyna?" The man asked.

"One of the contestants. Dark skin, jet black hair, rat costume…"

"Oh yeah. Tell me, is she really wearing that on stage?"

"Yep. My best friend is very original." Jasmine said. "I only mix with the best."

Amber noted how Jasmine's voice sounded as sweet like caramel. But knowing Jaz as well as Amber did, it was obvious she was lying.

"So how can I help you ladies?"

"Chyna had a last minute song change." Molly butted in. Amber handed over a cd. "She wants to sing this song."

"Couldn't she have given me this herself?" The man asked.

"Yeah, but she's very busy getting her rat makeup on. The art of makeup is very hard." Jasmine said.

"Very well." The man took the cd and handed Amber the old one.

"Thank you." Amber called as the girls left the room.

Chyna POV

From backstage, Chyna watched the contestants from a small TV.

"Some of these people are really good." Chyna said. A girl was singing Rolling in the Deep, and she was amazing.

Olive smiled. Fletcher, Angus, Tati, Tina, Paul and Steven were all in the audience. Only Olive was backstage with her friend.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Olive reassured her friend.

"I hope… does this rat costume make me look fat?"

"Next up, Chyna Parks." The announcers voice boomed. The audience clapped and Olive pushed Chyna on stage.

Chyna walked confidently on stage, noting that the audience had gone quiet. Many people looked confused to see a giant rat walk on stage.

Chyna froze as the track came on.

"Come on everybody! Let's sing the ABCs!" The lady on the cd said. "A B C D E F G!"

Confused, Chyna did the only thing she could. She sang along. "H I J K L M N O P!"

Humiliated, Chyna had to also sing Twinkle Twinkle, Mary had a Little Lamb and The Itsy Bitsy Spider. Finally the track was over. Chyna bowed and ran off the stage, trying not to look at the audience's bewildered expressions..

Fletcher POV

"What was that?" Angus asked

"I have no idea…" Fletcher answered.

"Yeah, she's not going to win with that performance." Paul said. Beside him, Steven was staring at the stage, eyes wide open.

Tati turned to Tina. "Des, I don't think that was supposed to happen."

Tina nodded. "We should go see what's up." The two girls headed out of the auditorium as the next performer took the stage.

Fletcher sighed. He knew Chyna. (A little too well) She would never sing a song like that unless there was a purpose behind it. Judging from the look on her face, there was no purpose. That meant that something bad happened. He wanted to leave the auditorium, but as he rose, Angus pulled him back down. Looked like he was stuck.

Chyna POV

Backstage, Chyna broke down into tears. "What happened?" she wailed. Olive put her hand around her friend.

"Don't worry. Least the audience heard your beautiful voice, even if it was through the ABCs." Olive said. "And if a bunch of four year olds vote, you might win."

Chyna sniffled. "Yeah, because we're totally going to go seek out houses with two year olds and beg them to vote."

Olive just shrugged.

Tatiana and Destiny POV

"That just didn't make sense." Tati mused as the girls walked down the hall.

"Yeah, there's no way Chyna would sing that song on purpose." Tina said.

"Or dress in that outfit." Tati added.

"Hey, I need to pee." Tina suddenly said. "Come with me?"

"Sure." The girls headed towards the restroom when Tati's phone rang. "I need to get this. Don't worry I'll wait out here, while you pee."

Tina entered the bathroom and walked into a stall. A few seconds later, she heard the door open and a group of girls walk in. Being in the same place as them, Tina couldn't help but listen in on their conversation.

"I cannot believe we actually got away with switching cds!"

"Yeah, did you hear Chyna sing that song?"

"She looked amazing in that costume we set out."

"Stella is going to be so proud."

"Can we see Barney now?"

"Yeah, we should celebrate."

After fussing over hair and makeup, the girls left the bathroom, and Tina came out of the stall. She washed her hands and hurried out of the bathroom. "So Stella's friends are behind this. What's with the Barney, though?" she mumbled to herself.

Chyna POV

Tati and Tina came running into the dressing room. "We know what happened."

Chyna stood up. "What?" She and Olive asked at the same time.

"Stella's friends switched the cds and threw away your clothes." Tina explained.

"I should have known." Chyna mumbled.

"Yeah, those stupid, idiotic, playing, foolish, freak job-" Olive began, but she was interrupted by Chyna.

"We get it Olive. And I guess I'm not winning because of those three."

"They're not giving up." Tati said.

"I know, I'm going to talk to them." Chyna decided.

"What?" Olive said. "You can't do that. You have to fight back. Get revenge!"

"Why? This is stupid. I'll just do whatever they want me to do, and then once they get what they want, they'll stop." Chyna reasoned.

"But it's not fun that way." Olive whined.

"Not everything can be done the fun way." Chyna said. With that, she left the room.

Olive turned to Tati and Tina. "Well, I'm not going down without a fight."

Ok, what did you think? People please remember to Review! Otherwise I'll think this story sucks and stop writing!
