Author's Note: Looking over it, I realized this chapter is really weird, but I can't really take it out now, so I hope you all like it anyway…

After Mimi signed the form, she remembered what Logan had said: "It's good to have a gimmick…" So, basically, she needed her own distinguishing dance. But what?

She headed back to her apartment, lost in thought. She decided that she would go home and try to prepare and practice; the "gimmick" would come later. Her audition was not until the next afternoon, so she still had time.

After stretching and practicing some dancing, Mimi decided to go to bed early. That night, she felt restless and encountered a bizarre dream. In it, she was arrested. When she asked the police surrounding her what she had done, they told her that the chairs she owned were illegal. The lawn chairs that decorated her mish-mashed apartment, they said, had to be kept outside at all times, preferably on a lawn. Mimi was outraged and tried to fight back, but the police officers put handcuffs on her and locked her in a jail cell. They left the handcuffs on despite the fact that she was already locked up and never removed them.

Confused and startled, Mimi woke up. Lawn chairs? Handcuffs? That was weird. No…wait--that was it!

She grabbed the few dollars that were lying on her nightstand, pulled on her coat, and headed out to make an important purchase, even though it was about six o'clock in the morning.

She found a toy store that was open and quickly bought a pair of cheap handcuffs, the kind where the key is totally unnecessary, as one can easily rip them open without any assistance. She brought them home a prepared her act.

That was where the tunnel scene began--the audition. Mimi had dragged a lawn chair from her apartment and her handcuffs back down to the Cat Scratch Club, where she entered a back room with Logan and a few other "important people" from the club. She noticed that there was no one else auditioning.

Despite the lack of competition, Mimi put her all into the performance, as the screen now depicted. She started out handcuffed to the chair and proceeded to dance on and around it provocatively. In a big finish, Mimi freed herself from the chair and immediately executed a skillful back walkover. She turned to Logan and company, and took a bow, handcuffs still dangling from one hand.

She had not focused on them on the day of the audition, but now seeing it on screen, Mimi noticed that the onlookers looked impressed throughout her performance.

"Mimi Marquez," Logan said professionally, "You're hired. Welcome to the Cat Scratch Club." Thus, the Lawn Chair Handcuff Dance was born.

The only question now was what music Mimi would perform to. It was quickly decided that her act required no music. The only sounds would be those of talking, cheering, and drinks being stirred in the background.
