"so how did you do on the test?" Amy asked
"not to well" Odd replied
"you should have studied instead of playing video games" Jeremie told him
"that was the plan but it got boring so we played video games instead" Amy commented
"Amy I have something for you" Sissi said as she approached there table
"really? What is it?" Amy asked
"this postcard saying you're a finalist in a singing contest" Sissi replied giving Amy the card
"you read her mail" Odd exclaimed
"it's a postcard it's hard not to read" Sissi replied
"thanks for giving this to me" Amy commented
"well good luck in the contest" Sissi said before going to her usual table
"you entered in a contest when did this happen?" Odd asked
"two days ago. I sang a song from a list of three choices and they told me if I did well enough I would be one of the two finalists who will compete for the grand prize" Amy explained
"what is the grand prize?' Yumi asked
"I can't remember. I entered because I like to sing the prize is a bonus" Amy replied
"so when are the finals?" Jeremie asked
"5:30 pm tonight" Amy replied
"can we come?" Odd asked
"well it says the audience will pick the winner so I would appreciate it if you all could come" Amy replied
"do you get to choose your song this time?" Ulrich asked
"Yes and I already know what song I'm singing" Amy said happily
place: silver spoon café
time: 4:20 pm
"the contest starts in a little over an hour, please tell me you're done" James stated
"don't worry it will be ready in time" an employee told him
then someone said "excuse me"
James turned around to see who called him and noticed it was a lady wearing a large pink coat over a pink dress, she had blue eyes and her long hair was dyed a dark blue
"how may I help you?" James asked
"I'm one of the finalists" Cyndi said showing him the postcard
"let me guess you are Cyndi" he replied
"that's correct" Cyndi replied
"you're early but that's not a bad thing. I made name tags for the contestants, here is yours" James said giving her a name tag labeled Cindy
"you misspelled my name it's spelled Cyndi" she told him
"I'm so sorry please forgive me" he told her
"it's OK. There is more then one way to spell Cyndi, you just picked the wrong one" Cyndi told him
"so do you sing often?" James asked
"yes. I love to sing, it really helps after a bad day" Cyndi replied
"why are you here so early?" James asked
"I walked here. I guess I misjudged how long it would take to get here" Cyndi replied
"so you live close to here" James commented
"no. I'm staying at the university" Cyndi told him
"but that's eight miles away. Why did you walk that far?" James asked
"I was to nervous to drive after what happened the last time" Cyndi told him
"so are any of your friends coming to watch you perform?" James asked
no I did not tell them. Only Clair is here to help me today" Cyndi replied
"right here" Cyndi said showing James the fairy doll
"you're so lucky I wish I had a fairy friend" James commented
"I'm not as lucky as you think I am" Cyndi replied
"can I get you something to drink?" James asked
"can I have a raspberry milkshake?" Cyndi asked
"we have that" he commented
time: 5:30 PM
place: Just outside the silver spoon Café
"thanks for coming" Amy told Aelita
"no problem I really like your singing voice" she replied
"so what are you going to do with your prize?" Odd asked
"I did not win yet" Amy told him
"with your talent you will win easily" Odd told her
"I'm trying to avoid being overconfident" Amy explained
"I wonder who your opponent is" Jeremie said
"I don't know but they better be ready because I am" Amy replied and they entered the building she then asked "who do I talk to about the contest?"
"the guy talking to the girl with the blue hair" someone told her
"what is Cyndi doing here" Amy thought to herself
Amy walked up to them and said "excuse me"
James then turned and asked "how may I help you?"
"I'm here" Amy commented
"what brings you here?" Cyndi asked
"I a finalist in the singing contest how about you?" Amy asked
"I'm the other finalist" Cyndi stated
"and I'm the host, but we don't start until 5:30" James told Amy
"it's 5:32" Amy commuted
"it looks like you know each other" James stated
"she's my best friend" Cyndi stated
"this is going to make things interesting" James commented
"what do you mean by that?" Amy asked
"Is Cyndi your best friend?" James asked
"yes" Amy replied
"then that means you will both be competing against your best friend. Are you OK with this" James asked
"only if it does not bother Cyndi" Amy replied
"I'm not quitting this contest" Cyndi stated
"Ok then here is how it's going to work, everyone please come and get one of the newly printed voting ballets because this is how we will pick a winner and that includes the contestants you can vote too. There votes usually cancel each other out anyways. Both contestants will perform a song of there choice, once they are done you simply vote for the winner, whoever gets the most votes wins" James explained
"how do we let you know what song we want to sing?" Amy asked
"write it down on the pink piece of paper I'm about to give you" James said
"pink is my favorite color" Cyndi commented
"well it definitely is your color" James told her
"thank you" Cyndi replied
5 minutes later
"Ok who's ready for the finals of the Silver spoon singing contest?" James asked
"just start already" Odd exclaimed
"Ok we used a scientific system to decide who would go first and well it looks like Amy Carster is" James stated
"what was the system?" Amy asked as so got on stage
"I have no idea" James replied. He then said "it says here you're a 13 year old student who has a part-time job at a supermarket"
"that's correct" Amy replied
"what do you do at the supermarket?" James asked
"I operate register 13" Amy replied
"it also says you make your own clothes. How long have you been doing that?" James asked
"about two years" Amy replied
"so anyways you chose 'my immortal' by evanescence. That is not an easy song to sing" James commented
"well it is my favorite song" Amy commented
very well presenting Amy Carster performing my immortal
Amy then san her favorite song and did a very good job after she was done there was plenty of applause
"that was fantastic thank you Amy. Now let's welcome our other contestant who just happens to be Amy's best friend Cyndi Swanson" James said
Cyndi then slowly walked on stage
"don't worry they made us remove the trap door a log time ago" James commented
"that's not really helping" Cyndi commented
"sorry it was a bad joke" James told her. He then asked "is that your real hair color?"
"no" Cyndi replied
"so you're a collage student at the university what are you studying?" James asked
"right now the basics math and English I'm not sure which degree I'm going for yet" Cyndi replied
"so what song will you be singing for us?" James asked
"since U been gone" by Kelly Clarkson" Cyndi answered
"is this performance dedicated to anyone?" James asked
"maybe" Cyndi replied
"well good luck" James told her
"thanks" Cyndi replied before singing the song. Cyndi not only preformed the song very well but also sang with a lot of emotion. Once she was done they was once again lots of applause
"thank you" Cyndi said
"wow those were some great performances now it's time to pick a winner. Please vote now" James said
"this is not going to be an easy choice they both did fantastic" Aelita commented
"it is for me" Odd stated
after about 20 minutes all the votes were counted and the results were given to James. He then looked at the card and asked "about time how long does it take to add up votes?"
"it was so close we had a few re-counts just to be sure" the employee replied
"well anyways… wow you can't get any closer then that. Winning by a vote of 43 to 42 is…" James said before pausing
the room was completely quiet as they waited for the winner to be announced
"Can I get any of you something to drink?" James asked
"I'll like a mountain dew" Amy replied
"who won?" Several people asked
"just trying to add some suspense, well anyways the winner of this years contest winning by a single vote is Cyndi Swanson" James announced
"I won. I actually won" Cyndi said completely surprised
"you did great. Congratulations on winning" Amy said before walking over to her friends
"are you mad about losing?" Odd asked
"not really especially since I know why I lost" Amy replied
"and why is that?" Odd asked
"I voted for Cyndi" Amy replied
"I'm no math genius but you do realize if you would have voted for yourself you would have won" Odd told her
"but in a way I did win" Amy replied
"what are you talking about?" Ulrich asked
"I had a feeling this contest meant more to Cyndi then it did to me, plus I think she did better then me either way look on stage and you will understand what I mean" Amy told them
"what are we looking at?" Odd asked
"my best friend is very happy right now I can't remember how long it's been since I've seen her this happy. It so nice to see her smile" Amy commented
"that was very nice of you" Aelita commented
Cyndi then walked over to her friend and asked "can you believe I actually won?"
"yes I can you're a very talented singer" Amy replied
"well I owe it to you and your friends" Cyndi replied
"but I voted for Amy" Odd stated
"not that, I know you probably all voted for Amy. I mean helping me with my problem, I feel much better now" Cyndi told them
"well to be honest I voted for you" Amy stated
"that's so nice of you, well anyways James said since I won me and my friends get one free drink so is anyone thirsty?" Cyndi told them
"is that the prize?" Amy asked
"no just part of it I also won 500 dollars and this card good for a 30 percent discount here. James has a prize for you as well" Cyndi explained
"really? What did I win?" Amy asked
"100 dollars and a card for a 20 percent discount her. The cards are good for a year" James explained
"fantastic" Amy said
"you seem pretty happy for someone who lost" James commented
"but my best friend won" Amy replied
"and she admitted she voted for me" Cyndi commented
"that's a first" James stated
"congratulations on winning" Aelita told Cyndi
"thank you" Cyndi replied
Amy then said "Cyndi this is our friend Aelita. Aelita this is my friend Cyndi"
"it's nice to meet you" Aelita said politely
"I like your hair" Cyndi commented
"thanks" Aelita replied
they spent the next hour talking about various things then Amy and her friends went to the factory to send Aelita back to Lyoko while James gave Cyndi a ride back to the collage
"thanks for giving driving me back to my dorm" Cyndi said
"no problem. Congratulations on winning the contest" James told her
"thank you" Cyndi replied
"I hope to see you again" James said before driving away
Cyndi then made a phone call. Once the other person answered the phone she said "Hi this is Cyndi I'll like to make an appointment as soon as possible"
