Chapter 3: Who Won?
When Link arrived at the studio the next day there was a buzz in the air. Everyone wanted to know who had been chosen to be the new preformer.
"What's going on Lou Anne? I thought they were going to have another auditon cause they didn't like anyone."
"I guess not. They said they decided on someone they saw yesterday. Maybe they came after everyone left, all I know is that Amber is not happy with who they chose."
"Well, lets go find out shall we?"
The two went backstage to find everyone gathered in front of an annoyed Velma Von Tussel.
"What's going on?"
"Who's the new person going to be?"
Everyone was trying to ask questions at the same time.
"Quiet everyone, quiet. I have made my decision based on what I have been told by the people that give us our ratings. They say that our ratings will go up if we put Tracy Turnblad on the show."
"What?!?! But she's overweight!"
"I know, I know. She will be joining us on the show today. She should be here any minute now."
Link was happy about the decision, and apparently the only one that was. He decided not to telly anyone about what he though. Especially not Amber.
"Link! Link!" It was Corney. He was trying to get Links attention without anyone else knowing it.
"What's up?"
"I was thinking it would be great if when you are introducing Tracy today with that song "It Takes Two." if at the end you kissed her. It would make rating fly, and Velma would be pleased."
"Kiss her?"
"Yea, trust me on this man. Velma will love you for it."
Link thouht about it for awhile. It seemed a little weird since he was with Amber and everyone knew it, but if it would make Velma as happy as Corney claimed it could have a positive effect when he broke up with Amber. He decided he would do it. Corney went though his introduction song. He would be next, him and Tracy that was.
When he got on stage with Tracy they dimmed the lights and had the two in spot light. He knew he couldn't look nervous on stage so he just went with it and didn't think about the kiss he had to give at the end of the song.
"They say it's a man's world, well that cannont be denied, but what good's a mans world without a woman by his side...."
Everything was going great. Tracy was doing everything perfectly, Link got lost in the music and the kiss at then end of the song came naturally. Link was pleased with himself. He had never started a number being nervous and ending it not nervous. His joy was short lived however as Amber was obviously NOT pleased with the show.
"Why did you kiss her?" she yelled at him after the show.
"Amber, it was just for the show."
"I dont care, your my boyfriend!!!" She yelled.
"Amber..." she started, but she stomped off.
"I guess that's one way to break up with her." he said as he got ready to go home.
