Chapter 4: Decisions in the city that never sleeps.
Maybe, that wasn't such a smart move...on the other hand, maybe she wasn't smart, a bit dumb, or even a bit crazy perhaps. But that was natural, right? Some people just happened to be a bit dumber or crazier than others.
Well, there was no turning back now....
Anzu sat on a bench watching at everybody strolling past her. Today she had quit her jobs, all three of them.
Her depths were more or less repaid now, but she still stood at the edge of financial disaster.
Those jobs three driving her crazy!!!
And, better poor then crazy, right?
Summer had come to the Big Apple. But it was far from enjoyable.
The heat lay in the streets of down town like an old, stinking, dying animal. Every time Anzu came back from the outside she had to wash herself, because the cars in the traffic jams would produce a giant cloud of all sorts of disgusting gasses, not to mention the sweaty smell in the underground.
Now that Anzu had no more jobs to worry about, she spent all her time dancing, catching up the time she missed out working.
One afternoon, when Anzu went out to get some groceries, she noticed a plain white paper on the message board of her apartment. Normally, she would have walked right past it, but the words: "Talent scouting" caught her eye.
"Talent scouting" We want you!!!!!
Can you dance? or can you sing? Maybe both?
Then you are the one we're looking for!!!!
Enter this talent competition, and get in the race for a part in the "MeteoraCorp"
musical production:
Summer Night City
Anzu quickly ripped off the paper and ran back to her apartment to look how she was supposed to sign up.
She couldn't really prepare a choreography, because the jury would pick the music, and she would just have to adapt quickly and show some good moves.
This was meant to be. She thought. And today is the day to live out her dream.
Biting her lip lightly, Anzu joined the line in front of the audition room.
She was wearing her usual dancing outfit, a pair gray shorts and a baby blue top.
Nervously she looked around. There were many girls, and quite a lot of guys, at least more then she expected. Everybody looked at least as nervous as she did.
After almost one hour waiting, it was finally Anzu's turn.
Her knees felt weak as she entered the audition room. It was a typical audition room, just like in all those movies like "Flash dance".
Behind the jury table, sat two men and one woman. Nervously smiling, Anzu greeted them.
Politely the jury greeted her back.
"So, what's your name?" the only woman asked.
"Anzu Makazaki ma'am" the woman wrote it on a paper and after that they took pictures of Anzu with a digital camera. Anzu was led to the middle of the room. She took deep breaths, because she knew the moment was coming.
"Are you ready?" uncertainly Anzu nodded. The moment she did that, the music started. It took her a few seconds to realize what happened. It was a song Anzu didn't know, a didn't remember to ever have heard it.
Great, that wasn't a good start. She thought. She did her best to follow the beat and use a diversity in her moves. Unfortunately, it didn't work out the way she wanted. When the music stopped, she was on the verge of tears.
"try to let the music lead your moves. Forget about all your nerves."
It was one of the men who said this. Slowly, Anzu could feel the confidence drain back in to her. She could do it.
The second song was "Bring me to life" by Evanescence.
It wasn't really a song to dance too, but Anzu tried to express the anguish and fear that the singer trough her moves.
For her feeling, it went way better then the first song. The jury looked better impressed now too.
Anzu went to sleep happy.
This was the first step to a new life. Glitter, glamour, money and fame were waiting for her.
Little did she knew, that it wasn't going to be easy.
A week later she got a letter from MeteoraCorp. It contained a list of entrants who made it for a role in "Summer night city" a bit shaky, but yet self confident Anzu looked for her name.
It wasn't there.
She searched better.
She wasn't selected.
She looked the list through nearly five times, before ripping it apart and curling up in her bed crying her eyes out.
"Why couldn't she be lucky for once!?"
No money for her.... she would have to pick her old jobs up again....there had to be an easier way....She reached for her cell phone and dialed a number.
"Anna....I need your help"
