Chapter 10: All's well that ends well
"Sheen, I otta slap Ya." said Carl.
"HUH!" said Jimmy and Cindy.
"Why?" asked Sheen.
"Because! Betty isn't dead, she just fainted. She recovered just a minute ago." said Carl.
"But…But…I checked her pulse, she didn't have one!" said Sheen.
"No, you were just putting your fingers in the wrong place." said Carl.
Jimmy and Cindy hit their hands on their foreheads.
I should have known. Thought Jimmy and Cindy.
"Guys, just go home." said Jimmy.
Carl and Sheen look at Jimmy and nod. Then they walk away, still argueing. Jimmy turns to Cindy.
"I really need to expand my circle of friends." said Jimmy.
To that, Cindy nodded. Jimmy then grabbed Cindy hand, and they intertwined their fingers.
"Shall I walk you home?" asked Jimmy.
"Oh, please do." said Cindy.
Jimmy smiled and walked Cindy home. Jimmy gives her a goodnight kiss. Jimmy then walked home himself.
Besides that litle scare with Betty, everything today turned out fine. Now, I just hope that tomarrow can go well.
Jimmy walks into his house, enters his room and, after setting his alarm clock to 10:45 am, falls asleep. At 10:45 am the next day, Jimmy gets up. He showers, gets dressed, eats breakfast, and races down staires and to his front door. He opens the door and notices that all 10 remaining contestants are on his front lawn, with smiles. Jimmy leads them all to the back yard, where Carl, Sheen, and Libby are setting up for the singing contest. 10 minutes later, everything is set up for the quarterfinals of the singing contest.
The first one up for the singing contest is Rob Y. He sings Master of Puppets by Metallica. He sings it fairly well. Jimmy gives him an 8.5, Cindy gives him an 8.5 and Libby gives him an 8.5.
The next one up is Chris U. He sings Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. He is good, but not great. Jimmy, Cindy and Libby give him a five each.
The next competiter up is Paul S. He sings Rockstar by Nickleback. He is great. Jimmy gives him a nine, Cindy gives him a 9.5 and Libby gives him a 10.
Next up is the previously deseced J Betty Quinlin. She sings its My Life by Bon Jovi. She is so good that everybody's mouth drops. Jimmy, Libby and, reluctantly, Cindy gave her a unanimous 10.
Everyone else, besides Cindy, was so nervous after Betty's performance that they sang horribly. They were gives scores such as 3's, 2's, and 1's.
The last competitor up was Cindy. She sang Can't Stop Loving You by Van Halen. She sang so majestically and with so much energy, that everyone gave her a 10, weither they be a judge or not.
After Cindy was done singing, everyone clapped with newfound apreciation of her. After that, Jimmy spoke.
"Well everybody, that went well. Now, since that was only the quarterfinals, we have to have semi-finals. Therefore, the people who will be in the simi-finals are as follows: Rob Y., Paul S., Betty Quinlin, and Cindy Vortex. Now, for the semi-finals, the song that you sing has to be dedicated to someone. Now everyone go home, so I can talk to my band in private."
Everyone goes home, except for Carl, Sheen, Libby, and Cindy. This would soon be a conversation that they would never forget.
