Serena walked into the club called Moonlight Rhapsody. Everything in the club was black with little Christmas lights poking through, it actually was designed to look like the night sky. The decorator did a pretty good job. As Serena showed her ID to the Bouncer, James, he grinned at the petite blonde.
"Hey Sere, what are you doing her tonight"
" Just here for some singing James, it's been a long day." She grinned up at him, pretending not to notice the grumbling from the people standing in line.
" You be careful in there Serena, don't want Darien killing me if anything happened to you"
Thinking his concern cute, considering Darien never came within 100 feet of the place, she nodded before walking into the club.
Walking up to the bar she smiled at the bartender, a slight fellow named Melvin, his girlfriend Molly, also one of her best friends' was playing bar maid that night. They had been some of her best friends for as long as she remember. Melvin besides being the bartender owned the Moonlight Rhapsody and shocked everyone, including Serena when he made it one of the hottest karaoke clubs in town.
" Hey Melvin, who is here tonight?" She said sitting down at her usual spot at the end of the bar. Smiling gratefully at the Diet Coke Melvin immediately sat down in front of her.
"Hey there Serena, well you got Amara and Michelle there in the corner" he said pointing to where a young woman with aqua hair and a young man with short sandy blonde hair was sitting looking like the perfect couple. And they did seem that way, unless you were one of the few to know that Amara was really a girl.
" And Raye and Chad on the dance floor. Mina and Andrew are playing pool. Ami is with Greg at the Internet Stations, and Lita is with flavor of the week number 16 by the stage." Laughing at Melvin she turned to scan the dance floor when she saw Molly storming towards the bar, fully intending to give the woman who, from far away, looked like she was flirting with her boyfriend, a piece of her mind no doubt. When she got close enough to recognize Serena she stopped for a second before continuing. " Hey RENA! How's it been? You haven't been in here for a while.!"
" I've been fine Molly, and don't even think I didn't see you about to give me a piece of your mind for talking to your man before you realized it was me and not some hoe." She winked at her best friend.
Molly blushed beet red as Melvin laughed. " Yeah. I was. It is just that your hair isn't in your usual meatballs, I didn't recognize you at first.
Serena smoothed her hair, when out of her meatballs reached nearly to her knees, she needed to cut it really, but just didn't have the heart. "Here Melvin, pop this in, I feel like doing a little singing tonight."
"ALRIGHT SERENA!" Melvin said pumping his fist into the air as he slipped in the tape. Serena walked calmly up onto the stage picked up the mic. Her golden blonde hair shinned almost silver under the stage lights. Basking in the heat of the spot light she felt a calm that she only felt on stage wash over her. And she knew at this moment, everything was going to be okay. Looking out at the sea of shadowed faces she heard the music cue and began to sing:

" If I live to be a 100,
And never see the seven wonders,
That will be alright,
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine,
Cause I know exactly
Who I Am
I, am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My mama's still my biggest fan
Sometimes
I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me, that's who I am.
So when I make a big mistake
When I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those tear drops knowin
I will be just fine
Cause nothing changes
Who I Am
I, am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My mama's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me,
That's who I am.
I'm a Saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser I'm a winner
I am steady and I'm stable
I'm young but I am able
I, am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My mama's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know where I stand
It's all a part of me,
That's who I am.

Serena grinned as the club erupted into cheers. Blushing profusely she made her way down off the stage and back to her seat. She had no sooner sat down then a man who was obviously drunk walked up to her.
" Hey sweet thang" he leered at her, his breath almost making her gag. "How about you let me buy you a drink?"
" I am sorry , but I don't drink."
" You sure sang real perty up there, how about you come back with me to my trailor and give me an encore."
" How about I don't and say that I did?" Serena replied, disdain evident in her voice.
" Now you look here," the man roughly grabbed Serena's arm and was about to jerk her to her feet when somebody said.
"You better let go of her now before I make you"
