Velma and Roxie glanced at each other, then back at Giusi. Was this kid for real?

"So…can I? Do I have to audition or something?" Giusi looked at them expectantly. Roxie's eyes nearly popped out of her head, giving her the appearance of a very blonde, very skinny bug.

"Rox, come here," Velma said, throwing her cigarette to the floor and grabbing Roxie's warm hand, dragging her to the far corner of the tiny room. Velma gave a furious glance at Giusi, and then turned her attention again to Roxie.

"Velma, what the hell are we gonna do? We can't have another person in our act; we already take up the whole stage between the two of us!" Roxie whispered frantically.

"Well, she can't be part of the act. No way Rox, that little shit is going to steal our act from us. Look at her! She's young, gorgeous, and she can probably dance circles around us!" Velma looked somewhat frightened. Roxie was taken aback by this side of Velma, and she decided she didn't like it.

"Uh…I'm gonna go find Marty." Roxie said, taking her leave of Velma and Giusi…bad idea.

"So, can I be in your act?" Giusi asked Velma. Velma's eyes narrowed at her words, her fists clenched at her sides. Giusi took no note of this, and asked again.

"No." Velma said in a somewhat controlled voice. It was Giusi's turn to narrow her eyes. The tension built between the two women was almost suffocating, it made the seconds seem like minutes, and the minutes seem like hours. Velma was exercising a great deal of self-control; there was a gun in the second drawer of the dresser just to her right, making it extremely tempting for Velma.

Finally Roxie burst through the door, looking out of breath, and staring around wildly. Clearly she was expecting Velma to be beating the crap out of Giusi, and was quite surprised when she saw Velma perched on the table with a cigarette in her hand blowing large puffs of smoke in anger.

"Well?" Velma said, blowing another large puff of smoke. She raised an inquisitive eyebrow at Roxie, who raised her own eyebrow in return, letting her eyes casually wander in Giusi's direction before going back to Velma.

"Roxie? What did he say?"

"He said that Giusi should come back tomorrow at 9 a.m. for an audition," Roxie said calmly, noting Velma's furious glare at herself and then Giusi. Giusi looked nothing short of delighted and smug.

"Velma, we should go home, big day tomorrow. We have new music to go over and new dances to learn," Roxie spoke meaningfully to Velma, saying her words slowly, letting them sink into Velma's head. Velma nodded, threw one last furious glance at Giusi, and followed Roxie out the door.

REVIEW PLEASE! Thanks.
