I do not own Pepe or Penelope
I do own Stella Thunder, June Vineyard, Pauletta O'Doul (long oo, not like ow,) and Fillmore Howell.
Chapter Fourteen
Out of the Ordinary
The tune rang hard out of her small stereo. Pheffe playing an air guitar and lip synching was enjoying one her favorite things. Singing silent in her room was one thing, especially if you're only six years old. (Her birthday was today.) She still had no clue that would change.
It all started at the Le Eiffel Tower Comics. One particular day that Pheffe was with Pepe and Louis and some other famous people were around there.
The studios had a huge conference room for special holdings and it was in use right now. Three singers were offering talent searches and as of now were not enjoying it and leaving depressed. Until something caught there attention.
Horrible! Awful! Pathetic!" complained Fillmore Howell. "No talent here in this whole junkyard of France. I told you we should have stayed in England!"
"Quiet Fillmore," Pauletta said sharply. "We'll find some good contestants for True Talent."
"Yeah, more wanna-be bad girls who look like me," June said haughtily.
"June, not you either." Pauletta said. "Oh, great! I left my tape recorder on the whole time we were having a lunch break! I bet the battery is down."
"No its not," Fillmore said examining it. "Well, let's replay what we've heard."
Pauletta pressed play. Three hated being celebrity judges for True Talent, but what else could they do? Using a tape recorder made it easier to make decisions later on without the pressure of some eager eyes staring back at them.
Horrible singing was heard from the contestants and some who worked at the office.
"That's it!" Fillmore said. "Nothing works!"
An argument erupted from that! Pauletta was saying they should still be patient. June said heck with the whole thing (she actually used a more nasty term.) Fillmore was ready to throw in the towel and give up the search when something caught there attention.
A soft sound of the piano that had been in the conference room (which was only for decoration) played a sweet and steady tune. This was followed by singing.
The song ended.
Fillmore and Pauletta's jaws dropped.
It was amazing. An old Stella Thunder song nearly forgotten. June, however, did not look impressed. She had issues of arrogance.
One look at each other and Pauletta and Fillmore knew one thing; they had to find that voice! Somewhere in the ordinary was the voice that was real and unheard of.
And that voice belonged to Pheffe.
Author's Note: Stella Thunder is based off of singer Liz Phair. Not her biggest fan, but I do like her Extraordinary song out of all her other work. Its on YouTube if you are interested. Hope you like this. So…start your engines and review!
