Summery-Steph enters a talent contest that changes her life.
A/N This is set after the 8th season. But the clothes and songs and everything is from the future. Hey, I just didn't want them wearing those dorky clothes. And the music wasn't great back then either.
PLEASE R&R!!!
(And keep in mind this won't be updated that frequently because I really wanna finish WAKE UP SAN FRANCISCO. Just work with me please. Thanks!)
Stephanie ran a brush through her golden blonde hair. She stared down at her outfit. She was wearing a short black dress with spaghetti straps. She had on black heals with a silver buckle on each one. She carefully put on her silver hoop earrings that her sister, DJ, had given her for Christmas. Then she applied a soft pink blush and clear Maybaline mascara. Stephanie sighed and carefully sat on her bed, trying not to wrinkle her dress. She turned and looked out her open window. A warm breeze sifted through the screen. It was April and that meant nice warm days.
Jesse poked his head in the door. "How are ya doing?" he asked.
Stephanie looked up at him and smiled. "I'm ready, I guess."
"You'll do great," he said stepping into her room. He was wearing a black tux with a small black bow tie. He had the soft scent of AX cologne.
"What time is it?" Stephanie asked twirling her finger around a strand of hair.
Jesse checked his watch. "Almost 7:30. We should leave soon."
Stephanie sighed again. "I guess so."
Jesse sat on the bed next to her and put his arm around her shoulder and softly rubbed her arm. "You're nervous, aren't you?" He said giving her a sweet smile.
"Ya think?" she said sarcastically.
Jesse chuckled softly. "Yeah, well you'll be great."
Steph smiled at his comment. Then her mind drifted. "Uncle Jesse?" she asked.
"Hm?"
"What if I won this? What if I won this talent contest and got my chance to prove myself as a singer? Singers all start somewhere...I could start at this talent contest."
Jesse sighed. "Now Steph, don't get me wrong. You are a very talented singer. But there are a lot of people in this contest that have been singing longer than you have."
Steph sighed. "Yeah, I know."
"And if you did win, we still have one problem..."
She nodded. "Dad."
Jesse ran his hand through his hair. "Yup, Danny."
DJ helped Michelle tie her dress. "There you go Michelle," she said stepping back to take a look at her. "You look great!"
Michelle did a twirl in her dress. It was a dark red velvet dress with a tie in the back. There were two little bows on the shoulders. Michelle had her hair up in a bun. She had made it clear how she wanted to look to watch Steph in the talent contest. Michelle sometimes forgot she was nine and thought she was DJ's age. "I do look sophisticated...don't I?"
DJ smiled "Yes you do. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get dressed myself," DJ said as she exited Michelle's room.
DJ stepped into her room and opened her closet to get out her dress. It was a long black dress with short sleeves. She slipped it over her head and quickly ran a brush through her hair. That was the good thing about her having short hair, she didn't have to work too much on making it un-knotted. She put on her black high heals and put on a light spray of Tommy Girl. Then she applied red lipstick and tan blush.
"There," she said looking at herself. "I'm ready."
Joey tied his red bow tie around his neck. Then he applied gel to his hair. Just then, Danny came in...rambling up a storm.
"Oh Joey, good you're almost ready. Oh my god! It's almost 7:45! We have to get going! Where are the keys? Did I forget socks? Oh, no I didn't. Let's see we have the camera and the video camera...did we get the first aid kit?"
"Danny, relax!" he exclaimed laughing.
"Oh Joey, I'm sorry. I'm just getting so worked up. Stephanie...she's never done anything like this! Oh I hope she does ok and I hope she not nervous..."
"Danny," Joey interrupted. "There is no way she can be more nervous that you are."
Just then, Becky came down the stairs to the basement where Danny and Joey were. "You guys almost ready?"
Both Danny's and Joey's jaws dropped. "Have mercy," they both whispered under their breath.
Becky was wearing a short fire truck red dress with spaghetti straps. She had on slick black boots that went up to her knees. Her hair lightly flowed along the sides of her face. Becky had bright red lipstick on and thick black mascara on along with a thin line of eyeliner. "Well, are you just gonna stand there gawking at me? Or are we going to leave?"
"Right," Joey and Danny both said mesmerized. "Let's...go."
Becky rolled her eyes and went back upstairs. "Boys?" she called. "Time to go!"
Nicky and Alex came into the kitchen wearing little black tuxes. Their hair was gelled back out of their face.
"We're ready mommy!" Nicky exclaimed.
"Oh don't you boys look adorable!" she said embracing them in a hug. "I clean you up nicely, don't I?"
"You look pretty too mommy," Alex said giving Becky a kiss.
"Oh thank you honey," she said hugging them again.
Jesse, Steph, DJ and Michelle come downstairs into the kitchen. "Ok, everyone let's go!" Jesse exclaimed. Then he looked at Becky. "Well don't you look lovely." He said as he slowly walked over and gave her a kiss. Becky cutely giggled.
Danny and Joey came upstairs finally out of their daze. "Ok is everyone ready?" Danny asked. Mummers of yeah and sure and let's go were heard. Stephanie shrugged. Danny went over and gave her a tight squeeze. "You'll do great honey," he said looking at her. "Thanks dad," she answered. She smiled, but it was a nervous, let's get this over with smile.
They went in two cars. Danny's brand new blue mini van, and Jesse's older red mustang. Danny, Michelle, DJ, Michelle and Nicky and Alex went in the mina van. And Jesse, Becky and Stephanie went in the mustang.
"I'll follow you Jess," Danny said getting in the car. Then they drove off.
Stephanie was very quiet the whole way there. "Are you excited?" Becky asked her.
"Yeah but really, really nervous."
"That's understandable," Jesse said. "This is your first big audition...and show." Becky nodded in agreement.
"Oh turn in right here," Steph said pointing to a large building.
"It's at the recreation center?" Becky asked confused.
"They have a big auditorium," Jesse said opening the car door. Steph and Becky got out on the other side.
Steph took a deep breath as they walked up the steps into the building. "Here I go," she said as she swung open the doors and entered the building.
