Rock and Roll Music
Chapter 11
The Talent Show
"GUYS!" John shouted over the crowd of kids in the lunch as he made his way over to our table
"What's up Johnny? asked Paul before taking a bite of his slice of pizza
"Yeah Johnny spill the beans," added Ringo
"There's a talent show with a big grand prize," he said
"Really what kind of prize?" I asked
"Well it said A Big Grand Prize," John explained
"Where is the talent show?" asked Paul
"The park on two weeks sign up is today only," he said with a smile
Amanda came over "Oh please you guys would not stand a chance I mean I heard you guys on Valentines' Day and to be honest you sucked,"
"No one asked you," I snapped
"Well excuse me," she replied all snotty "just don't even try my Ricky will beat you."
John made a snorting noise making her turn and glare at him then snapped "What are you a pig?"
"Maybe I am," John replied trying to hold in his laughter
"Whatever losers," she said walking away
John took the liberty to mock her in a whinny voice "Whatever losers,"
We started to laugh "You sound just like her," Ringo laughed
"So what do you about the talent show?" John asked becoming serious again
"Sure what the hell," I said shrugging
Paul shrugged "I'm game,"
"Same here," added Ringo
"Then we agree we'll sign up after school today," John said looking at each one of us
"Yeah,"
"Yes,"
"Hell yeah!"
After class we rushed to the park to sign up but when we got there we could not believe how long the line was, it must have been a half a mile long but wait we did. Amanda and Ricky walked by and as they did they made pig sound at us.
"Hey that's not fair!" John snapped as we watched them hand the people in front some money to let them cut.
"Calm down John," I said placing a hand on his shoulder
Wait went by surprisingly fast "There now where signed up," Ringo said as he signed his name last of all and handed back to the guy taking names.
"Good luck," he said placing in a box before calling "next!"
"We have to beat them," I said as we walked away
"Come we have to go pay a visit to our friend Georgie," John said taking the lead towards Ringo's car
Two weeks later...
Those two weeks went by fast with all the practicing we had done but it was fun I'm not going to lie, the three boys were to meet Ringo and I there. "Where are they?" John asked looking down at his watch "I'm going to be so pissed if they're late."
"Don't worry they'll be here," Paul said
"Yeah well they better be because I'm starting to sweat in this leather," George added pulling on his jacket
"Let's just watch to see what we're up against," Paul suggested
John started to laugh at the Lady Gaga impersonator "She sucks."
"Yeah Des would love this," Paul added with a smile
"Hey guys sorry I'm late," Ringo said coming up behind them
"Where's Des?" asked Paul
"Was I supposed to pick her up?" Ringo asked
"Shorty you didn't even pick her up!" John snapped
"Relax I kid, I kid," Ringo said starting to laugh
"Well then where is she?" he asked
"Right here," I said walking over and the looks on their faces was a Kodak moment "boys please close your mouths," I teased
John gulped hard
George's eyes were huge
And Paul mouth was still open I giggled as I walked over to playfully close it
"What?" I asked
"You look different," Paul said looking down at my outfit which was a mini leather dress, fishnet stockings and lace up knee high boots.
"Good or bad?" I asked him
He got this weird smile on his face "Good...I mean...bad...wait I don't know."
I chuckled "Your to cute Paulie,"
The anouncer came on and said "Up next we have Ricky Rob singing Girl at the Rock Show and dancer Amanda Kendel enjoy,"
"How's she going to dance to that?" I asked as we sat down to watch them
"Dunno," the boys said at the same time...
Hanging out behind the club, on the weekend.
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends.
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour.
I remember it's the first time that I saw her- there.
•
•
•
She's getting kicked out of school cause she's failing.
I'm kinda nervous, cause I think all her friends hate me.
She's the one, she'll always be there.
She took my hand, and I admit it I swear.
•
•
•
Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know.
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window.
Everything's better when she's around-
I can't wait till her parents go out of town-
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show...
After them came some crappy bird calling and showing you how to knit all really boring stuff, so far Ricky and Amanda were top dog.
"I'm getting nervous guys," I said
"You'll be fine we'll be right next to you," Paul said to comfort me
"Well except Ringo he'll be behind you," added John
The anouncer came back on stage "And Now Ladies and Gentlemen our finale performace give it up for Destiny's Beatles."
Ringo walked out first gave a quick bow then made his way back to the drum kit, next was George with his guitar, followed by John and his guitar and bring up the rear was Paul and I with our guitars.
I walked over to the microphone in the front my heart was racing I looked over at John and George who both nodded "You can do it," whispered Paul.

Ringo started tapping out the beat on his drums...
(Spoken)
Des: "Ready George?"
George: "Aha!"
Des: "Johnny?"
John: Yeah!
Des: "Ringo?"
Ringo: "Ok!"
Des: Alright Paul Let's GOOO!
With that said we started strumming out the rhythm on our guitars... A/N Caps lock is singing louder then normal and George, John and Paul sing the back up Ballroom Blitz lyrics
Oh it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me,
Oh my dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
•
•
•
I SEE A MAN AT THE BACK
AS A MATTER OF FACT HIS EYES ARE RED AS THE SUN
AND A GIRL IN THE CORNER LET NO IGNOR HER
'CAUSE SHE THINKS SHE'S THE PASSIONATE ONE
•
•
OH YEAH!, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving
•
•
OH YEAH!
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
•
•
I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha
•
•
NOW THE MAN IN THE BACK
IS READY TO CRACK AS HE RAISES HIS HANDS TO THE SKY
AND THE GIRL IN THE CORNER IS EV'RYONE'S MOURNER
SHE WOULD KILL YOU IN THE WINK OF HER EYE
OH YEAH!, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing
•
•
OH YEAH!
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
•
•
(MUSICAL BREAK)
•
•
it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing
•
•
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz...

I shouted into the mic..
WHOA!
Everyone stood up out of their seats to cheer for us "THANK YOU!" I shouted before clearing the stage.
Mr. Anouncer came out with an envolope in his hands "Ready for the results?" he asked
"YEAH!" everyone shouted then they started to chant "Destiny's Beatles," over and over again
"Okay and the winner is..." he said
Amanda walked up to us "Ricky and Amanda," she whispered
"Okay second place is Ricky and Amanda!" the anouncer yelled
"Wha?"
Amanda looked hurt as she made her way up to the stage with Ricky "Here you go a dinner of two at Chantilly's," he said handing them a gift card.
We all held hands and closed our eyes "Now the winner is.." he said opening the envolope "no doubt about it IT'S DESTINY"S BEATLES!"
I was in a state of shock when Paul pulled me up on stage "Well congrats guys you just won a all expense paid two week cabin retreat up in the moutians,"
"A cabin retreat," John repeated
"Oh that's not all you also get a cash prize my good man," he told him
"That's what I'm talking about, "Ringo joked rubbing his hands together.
"I almost forgot a shopping spree as well," the anouncer added.
After we claimed our prizes we changed our clothes and Paul and I went for a walk on our way we ran into Amanda and Ricky who just shoved past us with their heads held high.
"I can't believe we won," I said happily
"I knew we would," Paul said smiling
"Sure," I teased
"I wonder what that cabin retreat is like?" he asked
I shrugged my shoulders and said "Dunno we'll have to wait and find out,"
"Come on you two let's go to JOE'S and celebrate!" Ringo shouted
"Be right there!" I called "come on Paulie!"
So we celebrated that night at JOE'S which was a chicken and seafood restaurant with good food it was a lot of fun, now we had a trip to look forward to.
Can't wait...
Disclaimer: Beatles are not mine the other's are...Thanks for the reviews...I'm always open for new ones lol... or suggestions...
