Explain

Sunshine finished her makeup and headed for the door. "You two coming?" She called over her shoulder.

"Yea, yea we'se a comin." Spitfire said grabbing Sparks by the arm and leading her out the door. "Come on, you need to stop getting lost in your thoughts and have a little fun."

Sparks sighed and closed the door behind her. "your right." She said putting on a weak smile.

The three girls headed down the long hall way. "So," Sunshine said breaking the silence. "Meet anyone new after Prestly?"

"...Hmmm?..... oh, yea...I did." Sparks said looking at the floor as she walked.

"Well then what's wrong??" Spitfire asked a smile on her face.

"I miss him. He's back in Hattan. I don't even know if we'se is still together, last time I saw him he was crying, I had to just leave with out so much as a goodbye to all my friends. It broke my heart to see him like that, but there was no other way." Sparks said glumly.

"Oh!" Sunshine and Spitfire both said together, regretting having brought it up.

"Yea but that's in the past, and I thought I wasn't to dwell on the past?" Sparks said putting on a smile.

The other girls laughed. "Alright den Sparky lets go have some fun." Sunshine said smiling brightly. Sparks nodded trying to seem happy, but she couldn't help put feel for the past, and for Race.

They continued down the long hall way, passing several doors that said storage or costumes on them. Finally they came to a stop in front of a red door that said; Porcilin, Dramedy and Diamond on it.

"Well, here they are. My three best friends here at the theatre house." Sunshine said, knocking twice on the door. There wasn't any answer. "HELLO!?" Sunshine yelled as she knocked again a little louder.

"Hold ya horses." A voice yelled from the other side of the door.

Slowly the door opened to reveal a rather short young girl, with curly chocolate brown hair, that was pulled back into a ponytail. A glittery ,crown, type headdress sitting slightly in front of it. She had very fair skin and pink lips, almost the shade of a rose. Her deep green eyes glittered as she greeted them.

"Well heya Sunshine. You do know that rehearsal ain't for another hour?" She said smiling.

"Yea, yea, Porcilin relax. I got a friend of mine I want ya'll to meet." Sunshine said rolling her eyes.

"Oh." Porcilin said looking slightly embarrassed.

Sunshine walked past her and into the room. She motioned for Spitfire and Sparks to follow her. Once in side the dressing room, two other girls came to greet Sunshine.

" Alright Spitfire, Sparks these goils here are Annabell and Victoria." She said pointing first to a short young girl with long curly brown hair, that was pulled rather messily back into a ponytail, and had big round brown eyes. Then she pointed to a second girl who was tall and had brownish blonde hair the fell just below her shoulder blades. Her brown eyes sparkling as she smiled at them.

"Heya." The first girl said. "Call me Diamond." She said pushing a strand of her curly brown hair out of her face.

"Yea and hows about you call me Dramedy instead of Victoria." The second girl said giving Sunshine a look.

Sunshine laughed. "And you've already met Audrey or as we call her Porcilin."

Pocilin smiled at the two and waved.

"And who are you?" Diamond asked curiously.

"I'm Spitfire." She said spitting in her hand and holding it out for the others to shake. All four of the dancers stared at Spitfire in disgust. Sparks just laughed.

"That's how Newseis greet each other, even then goils. I'm Sparks by the way." She said smiling.

"You mean, as in Prestly Waters old goil?" Dramedy asked.

" Umm yea. Can we'se not talk about him. I'm trying to forget my past." Sparks said half sadly but more angrily.

" Sorry." Dramedy said softly.

" Ah forget it. How about a tour of the theatre?" Sparks asked trying to smile.

"Oh that sounds like a plan to me." Pocilin said cheerfully.

Prcilin, Dramedy, and Diamond finished buttoning up their show gowns and then the sic of them headed out. They wandered down the hall way and they four girls pointed out different dressing rooms and prop room. Occasionally saying Hi to other girls in the hall. All of them joking and talking, having a great time. Slowly Sparks began to lag behind, and her mind began to wonder once again.

She turned around and ran out of the Rock 'n' Ruckus. Tears streaming down her face. She ran until she couldn't run anymore. Sparks fell down to the ground and began to cry uncontrollably. "How could he have done this to me? He told me that he loved me, and I believed that ass hole!" she cried to herself.

Just then she heard her name being called through the streets. Two of the voices she recognized as Milkshakes and Hollywood's. And the third was Prestly's and it was closer then the others. "NO" She thought to herself, she didn't want him to find her. But he did, it was too late, he was standing right beside her.

"Meggera listen I can explain." Prestly started.

"EXPLAIN!!" Sparks yelled interrupting him. "Go ahead explain how you can tell me you love me and that you will never ever hurt me. And THEN turn around and make out with some blonde."

She stopped giving Prestly a chance to defend himself. But he didn't he just stood there looking sorry for himself and for her. Sparks went on. "And to think I watched you kill that poor boy. He did nothing to you. You know the cops will be out looking for the 'man' who killed him. That boy was high class, it wont go un noticed. I've kept that a secret. If I wanted to be low I would have ratted you out that night. But love makes you do stupid things." Sparks was shaking uncontrollably, tears pouring down her cheeks. Prestly's face was full of rage.

"Don't you bring that up ever again!" he yelled raising his hand to hit her.

"Prestly William Waters don't you dare touch her!" Milkshakes voice rang through the night. It had a dangerous sound to it. "I swear, if you so much as touch her Hollywood and I will tare you limb from limb."

Prestly put his head down. "I did love you Sparks, but sometimes you is just too dull for a guy to handle." He stood up and headed back to the theatre.

"You okay Spars?" Hollywood asked, helping her up from the ground.

"I've been better. "Sparks replied holding back tears. "Can we just go home now?"

"Youse got it goily." Shake said taking Sparks other hand. "Holly and I will deal with Waters in the morning." Her voice was full of anger.

Sparks made a small squeaking noise and the tears poured down her face again.

Sparks had stopped walking and was crying in the middle of the theatre area. All she seemed to do since she had left Racetrack, was cry.

"Sparks are you okay?" Pocilin asked looking concerned

"Yea. Why are ya cryin? We were only talking about falling off stage." Diamond said looking confused.

"I don't think it has to do with what WE were talking about." Dramedy spoke softly.

Sunshine looked at Sparks and then to Spitfire and back to Sparks. Spitfire had a look of concern and pity on her face. "Sparks, it's okay." She said reaching out to pat her shoulder.

Sparks pulled away. "I...I have to go." And with that she put a hand over her mouth to stifle the cries and took off running out of the theatre.
