A few hours later, it started growing dark, and the show is almost over, but Vince is going to announce the big teen contest winner. We all entered our names and sent it to National Bandstand.

Vince gets the envelope and opens it, "the big teen contest winner is... Jan Stefchek!"

Did he just say... My name. Jan?

"Jan! He said your name!" Frenchy shouts.

I asked, "He did?"

"Yeah! He did! Go on up there!" She pushes me to get up on a small stage and Vince looks at me and asks, "How are you doing my girl?"

I'm his girl? Oh Putzie is going to kill me. "Crazy!" I can't think of any more words when I'm by the famous hunk.

"Are you ready to have America see you sing?!" He asks me.

"Yeah!" I didn't know I have to sing. I can't sing. I mean... I can... But in front of the whole student body? In front of America?

Vince sets up the microphone, "Alright! Here we are America! We have Jan Stefchek singing 'It's raining... On... Prom night." The piano starts playing a few notes. I put my hands on the microphone and a soft melodic voice slipped out.

"I was deprived... Of a young girl's dream...

By the cruel force of nature from the blue...

Instead of a night full of... Romance supreme..."

Then I hear someone not far sing in harmony.

"All I got... Is a runny nose... And Asiatic flu..."

Then the percussion comes in with the bass and guitar.

"It's raining... On prom night... My...hair's a mess...

It's running... All over... My... Taffeta dress...

It's wilting... The quilting... On... My maiden form...

And mascara flows... Right down my nose... Because... it's raining..."

I've been using hand gestures and I look at Putzie and the others.

"I don't... Even have... My corsage... Oh gee.

It fell down the sewer... With my sister's ID."

I hear some laughing because it was the funniest lyric in the whole song.

"It's raining... On prom night... Oh what can I do...

It's raining... Rain from the skies... It's raining... Tears in my eyes over you..."

Then the piano keys took a half step higher.

"It's raining... On prom night... Oh what can I do...

It's raining... Rain from the skies... It's raining... Tears in my eyes over you..."

As I sang I look at Putzie and reached out my hand.

"Raining... Ooooooh... It's raining on prom night!" I riffed.

"Raining..." I used a raining gesture with my fingers and then a moment later the entire room starts screaming and cheering. Especially the gang.

I take a bow and then walk off the stage.

The guys have gone nuts over me. Putzie started hugging me to death, and the others come for a hug.

"Jan! How did ya sing like that?" Danny asked.

"Your voice is amazing!" Doody shouted.

Kenickie and Frenchy hugged me as my entire face turned red. But then I asked Kenickie, "where's Rizzo?"

"Who cares about her? She left with the scorpion."

They broke up? That explains the whole reason why Kenickie was with another girl.

He sighs sadly and says to the gang, "I have to go." Then he walked out the door.

Vince says finally, "Now for the last dance... Slow dance!"

Then a song comes on and Putzie asked me, "one last dance before we leave?" I nodded and then went to the center of the room slow dancing with him close together like a sandwich. My head went onto his shoulder as he wraps his arms around my waist. My arms wrapped around his neck. I closed my eyes and a bliss smile came on my face.

Soon the dance was over, and we were supposed to be going to Frosty Palace for the after party as a get together, but Rizzo left, Kenickie wasn't happy and left, neither was Danny and he left. Sandy left upset during the dance off, Sonny is drunk and Doody had to take him home with Frenchy, and Marty left a while ago after the incident with Vince. (She caught him trying to put an aspirin in her coke.) That would mean we wouldn't do it. I'm kinda tired anyways and it's pretty late. So Putzie took me home.
