Chapter 25

The girls were terrified. They walked into the huge backstage area. They tried taking a look at who the judges were. The panel of judges were the origonal winners from last festival competition. They were totally nervous. When they were walking around, they noticed Chuck Charles. He was much more handsome in person. What a hunk!

The girls were both wearing different outfits. Tera wore her favorite rock clothes. Her hair was straightened, and she wore a pair of earrings that had little guitar picks, with the british flag on them. She had Marlene do her make up, before going. The penguins had the notion to paint her face like a heavy metal design. She just wanted a nice regular make up scheme, and not to look like gene simmons. The penguins were generous enough to design her band shirt's logo, TNT. the did better than the make up. It showed the silouettes of the band members, with the background being a huge mushroom cloud. Her favorite torn jeans were worn. She had a pair of navy blue converse on. She thought she looked quite nice. It looked much better than the crazy outlandish get up that her sister wore.

When Brenna came in, it was like she came from a tribe of head hunters. She was dressed in all her tribal hawaiian clothes. Her hair was up in exotic looking beads. It complimented her eyes, not to mention the only way her mother was allowing her to perform. Private was kind enough to fashion them, and do her hair just for her. They both had long hair, which made her beads heavy. She was wearing the sea turtle kao wood necklace that James gave to her on their first date for luck. On her arms, she had fake tribal tatoos. Around her wrists and ankles, she had leaf bracelets. She wore an orange tube top, and a floral flowing skirt. She held two heavy wooden sticks that had towels at the end. The festival of the arts had prohibited authenic knives, thus she had towels at the end where the knives were supposed to be.

Just then Chuck Charles walked over to the twins. They were getting nervous. What were they going to say to the man that caused them to be grounded for life. Jeez for someone who was far older he was a real ladies man. He was saying something into the camera that they couldn't hear. "But the big story on everyones mouth is the King twins. Origonally from New Jersey, they work at the Central Park zoo, and in no time have created quite a reputation for their youngness at heart, and their soul that they bring to the most popular zoo in New York. The new york siblings have been a favorite by the children of the zoo, and continue to wow the public by doing the most random stunts. Quite recently going to the recently discovered rat infested restauraunt." the girls had no idea that they were a child favorite. They were more like the penguins than they thought. "We will have the full story after the competition. Details at eleven."

When the boys came through the doors, they looked just like their girlfriends. James had a big fake tatoo on the left side of his face, and on the upper right side of his chest. he had no shirt, exposing his muscles. he had the same leaf braclets. Around his neck he had a boars tusk necklace. T.J. had grown his hair for a while to get that grungie look. He had the shirt that the others had. He wore a pair of jeans that were torn to the every single thread. The band came in, and Broccoli had his hair down in it's usual greasy fashion. It was a bit of a lighter green like celery. Kendal's afro was much bigger than usual. He was definitely growing it out.

Tera giggled when she saw James walk over to Brenna. She couldn't help but laugh at their Hawaiian outfits. They stood out to say the least. Brenna raised an eyebrow, and stared at her sister. "What's so funny?" She asked squinting her eyes.

"Oh nothing, just that you seemed to lost your spear." She smirked. "Come on you two look like your a couple of head hunters."

James made an aggrivated face. "We do not." He said encircling Brenna's arm. "These are standard issue Hawaiian fire knife dancing uniforms." James said proudly. "The necklaces, fake tatoos, and brenna's beads are just something we came up with on our own." He smiled.

T.J. rolled his eyes. "Oh please. If james were holding Brenna over his head, it would look like he were sacrificing her to a volcano." he snickered.

Tera rolled her eyes. "Okay come on Jeronamoe, and Sacagawea. We need to get ready." Just then, the evil parker twins showed up. The twins hadn't come across them since they pranked them. The girls looked even more ticked then usual. London was wearing her tap dance clothes. They were hideous laderhosen milkmaid dress. Her heavy huge black tap shoes thudded when she walked closer. Behind her she had a bunch of taller guys with laderhosen on. It didn't look very flattering. Right next to her, her twin sister was wearing a silver futuristic outfit.

Things were guiet for a while, and they looked at their enemy. "We don't know how you did it, but we know it was you all behind the traps in our rooms." Paris squinted her beady eyes at Tera.

Brenna laughed innocently. "Us? Why have no idea what your talking about." She giggled. London grabbed Brenna by her braided beaded hair. "Please, don't kill me. I didn't do anything to you." She flinched bracing for the punch.

London let go carefully. "Please. As if we could care less. Besides, we kick your butt on the arena floor." They watched as the girls walked away. They walked over towards the area they had their supplies at. The girls noticed it, and tried to take a look at what they were doing. Their assumptions went unconfirmed when their boyfriends took them by the hand and walked around. Just then the intercom wnt on
