CHAPTER 2 - MEET ROXIE HART AND VELMA KELLY
Kacey wanted to run, but she couldn't - she was transfixed by the preformance - they were brilliant,the way they moved as one.
The number ended and Kacey applauded.
"Did you like it kid!? then come and see us in the show tonight". The speaker was the tall,stunning brunette.
"But the theatre is closed - there's a sign on the door!"
"Don't be dumb kid,this is the Chicago Theatre where we are preforming tonight - there's no way it's closed - not for the great Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly - they wouldn't dare!"
"Especially knowing what you would od to them if they did" Roxie said with a laugh - "everyone knows about Velma's hot temper!".
"But I was sure that's what the sign said".
"Don't worry aboout it kid, you probably read it wrong" Velma said.
"What's you're name anyway?"
"Kacey Fizelle"
"Can I ask you somethin' Kacey? - how come you're wearing those strange clothes?"
Strange clothes! What did she mean? - if anything she was the one wearing strange clothes her and Roxie.
"These are my normal clothes the ones I wear nearly every weekend"
"Jesus Kid! this is the 1920's ya can't go around wearing clothes like that!"
1920's what was she on about it was the year 2001!
"Now Velma, maybe she's an orphan or somethin' and can't afford good clothes."
"But Velma! Roxie! it can't be the1920's - it's the year 2001 - this has gotta be some sort of joke!"
"Don't be stupid Kacey! Look at the newspaper!"
Velma handed Kacey the paper. With trembling hands she read the date December 14th 1926!Somwhow she had slipped through time,but she musn't know that otherwise they'll think her strange and she couldn't be stuck in a time slip without anyone to turn to!
"Oh yeah! i was just messin' around!"
"Anyway Kacey, what size are you in clothes? I'm a 2 and you look pretty small so you can borrow some of mine if you're parents won't mind."
"Thanks Roxie!, thats just the right size - but,um,I don't have any parents or family (not in this time anyway!). I ran away from an orphanage coz it was hell, so I came here to start a new life! (Good Lie!)"
"Well why don't you stay with us for a coupla days until you find a job."
"Oh thanks! - is that allright with you too Velma?"
"Sure,kid stay as long as ya want - but be warned - we work long hours!"
They got a cab to the hotel, and Kacey in some of Roxie's clothes sat on her camp -bed in the hotel room, it was 11:00p.m. and Roxie and Velma were doing their show in the theatre - Kacey decided not to go as she wanted time to think - so she'd said she wanted to sleep.
She decided that might be the best thing - this could all be some weird dream and tomorrow she would be back home in her own bed.
