There was a knock at Peter Scarbrows' door.

Peter: Come in.
In walked Shelby. He couldn't help but smile. It was as if seeing his own daughter.
Shelby: You wanted to see me?
Peter: Yes. ( his smile slowly faded.) Shelby, I have some bad news. I called your mother today about letting me adopt you.
Shelby started to smile.
Peter: Unfortunatly she said no.
Shelby smile started to turn into a frown.
Peter: But I'm not going to give up.
Shelby: It's okay. I mean hey, we don't need papers to feel like a family do we.
Peter: No we don't.
Shelby: Well I gotta go. Bye.
Peter: Bye.
With that Shelby walked out of his office.

Daisy noticed instintly something was wrong with her friend even though no one else did.
Shelby: No. ( trying not to sound to obvious.)
Scott: What's wrong?
Shelby: Nothing.
Daisy: Well what did Peter want to see you about?
Shelby: Oh my mom won't sign the adoption papers.
Scott: Wow. Are you okay?
Shelby: ( now getting upset) Yes. Damn it. Can't you all take an answer.

Daisy: She'll be okay, Scott. She just needs time to herself.
Scott: I hope so, Daze.... I hope so.

Juliet: Cool with me.
Daisy: Me too.
Shelby: Okay well we need to go tell Sophie to get some material so Juliet can design our costumes. Oh and guys we don't tell nobody what we're doing. It'll be a complete surprise.

**********************************************************************************

Meanwhile Sophie and Peter welcomed the guest. Just then Mrs. Merrick came in with another woman.

Peter: Mrs. Merrick, how are you doing.
Mrs. Merrick: (still upset about the adoption.) I'm fine this is my friend June Cannel she was Shelbys' old dance teacher.
Peter: Well nice to meet you. Enjoy the show.
With that Mrs. Merrick and Mrs. Cannel got a seat.
Suddnely the lights went black and white light showed on the stage. A group of J.F. Camp girls came out and started acting out a scene from Three Sister. They were really good too. Everybody clapped.

Auggie: Yo Meat, you think they can beat them. They were really good.
Scott: I don't know. There's no telling with them three.

Just then some music came on in the background. Daisy and Juliet ran on the stage from opposite sides and did a cartwheel. In the middle at the same time so it looked like one person. When they finished they ran to the back part of the stage and turned their back to the audiance with their heads down. Juliet on the left, Daisy on the right. Then the spotlight went to the side of the stage and out ran Shelby doing three frontflips and landing on her feet. Everybody clapped.

Auggie: Damn meat, I didn't know she could do that.
Scott: Me either.

Shelby ran beside Daisy in background and then at the same time they all walked up to the front where the mics were at. Shelby on the right, Daisy in the middle, and Juliet on the left.

Daisy: (singing) He pushed me 'round now I'm drawin' the line, He lived his life
Shelby: (singing) Now I'm gonna go live mine I'm sick of wastin' my time
Juliet: (singing) Well now I've been good for way too long Found my red dress and I'm gonna throw it on.
Daisy: (singing) Bout to get too far gone
All together: (singing)Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition Need a little bit more of my twelve ounce nutrition One more helpin' of what I've been havin' I'm takin' my turn on the sin wagon.
Daisy: (singing) One a misson to make something happen
Shelby: (singing) Feel like Delilah lookin' for Samson Doin' a little mattress dancin'
Juliet: (singing) That's right I said mattress dancin'
All together: (singing)Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition Need a little bit more of what I've been missin' I don't know where I'll be crashin' But I'm arrivin' on a sin wagon
Daisy: (singing) When it's my turn to march up to glory
Shelby: (singing) I'm gonna have one hell of a story
Juliet: (singing) That's if he forgives me
Daisy: (singing) Oh Lord please forgive me
All together: (singing) Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition Need a little bit more of that sweet salvation They may take me with my feet draggin' But I'll fly away on a sin wagon

All of sudden there is a big blast of smoke on stage, so you couldn't see nothing. Suddenly everybody started hearing a horse on stage. Finally the smoke goes down and you see a bright red wagon with hay in it. Roger is driving with a horse in red overalls. You see Shelby and Juliet sitting on their knees in the hay. Daisy is standing up.
Daisy: (singing) I'll fly away on a sin wagon
With that Roger hits the horse and they all ride off stage. Everybody got up and started clapping. Juliet runs back on stage by doing a cartwheel, then stands to the side. Daisy runs in doing the same thing and stands beside Juliet. Then Shelby runs out and does four front flips in the air and lands on her feet. She then stands beside Daisy and the audiance starts clapping again. Behind Scott, Auggie, David, and Ezra sat some J.F. Camp boys. They got up and started hooting.
1st boy: Boy they are hott.
2nd: I'll take the one in the purple outfit. (Daisy)
3rd: You can have the purple one I'll take the hot one in the yellow. (Juliet)
4th: You guys can have them. I'll be glad to take the one in the pink. They always say blonds have the most fun. And I'll be glad to show her my sin wagon. (Shelby)
Scott and Auggie turned around.
Auggie: ( talking to the third guy) You will not be taking my girlfriend anywhere.
Scott: (glaring at the fourth boy) And you will not show Shelby anything unless you want my fist up your sin wagon. Got it.
1st: Whatever.
With that Scott and Auggie turned around. A man came on stage.
Man: Well I'm sure it is pretty obvious who is the winner of this contest. Sin Wagon by the cliffhangers.
With that the girls walked on and accepted three trophies. Peter walked on stage and accepted one huge trophie. And gave a small speech.
Peter: Well thank you all for coming. As you can tell we have a very talented young gruop here and hopefully we will continue. Thank you all.
With that everybody walked off stage. The guys waited at the front of the stage when the girls walked out. Shelby ran up to Scott who picked her up and swung her around. When he put her down he looked at Shelby who was smiling.

Shelby: Oh my gosh, can you belive it we won. Oh my gosh I have not felt this way in a long time. Did you see how they clapped at us. Wow, I didn't think that feel that way ever again.
Scott: Calm down, Shel. You were great.
Shelby: Thanks.
Mrs. Merrick and Mrs. Cannel walked up to Shelby.
Mrs. Cannel: Shelby.
Shelby turned around from Scott regonizing the voice.
Shelby: Oh my gosh, Mrs. Cannel.
Mrs. Cannel: Hi Shelby.
Shelby: So what did you think.
Mrs. Cannel: You are still the most beautifullest dancer I've ever seen. You still have that magic, Shelby. Just like when you were a kid.
Shelby: Really?
Mrs. Cannel: Yes, I could not take my eyes off you.
Shelby: Thank you. Oh mom, Mrs. Cannel this is Scott my boyfriend pointing to Scott. Scott this is my mother and my old dance teacher.
Scott: Hi
Mrs. Cannel: Hi
Mrs. Merrick: Hello, Shelby we just came to see you dance and we got to hit the road.
Shelby: Alright.
Mrs. Cannel: Bye
Mrs. Merrick: Bye
Shelby: Bye
With that Mrs. Merrick and Mrs. Cannel exited the room.
**********************************************************************************

Mrs. Merrick and Mrs. Cannel got in the car.

Mrs. Merrick: So?
Mrs. Cannel: She has still got it.
Mrs. Merrick: So she is good enough.
Mrs. Cannel: The best.
Mrs. Merrick: Alright I'll have her ready with in two weeks.
