"Shopping's done, and we have," -Keely looked at her watch- "FIVE MINUTES! Phil! We CAN'T make it!" Keely shouted
Phil took Keely's watch hand, then said irritated, "Keely, it's five 'til four, not five."
"Oh!" Keely laughed because she felt like an idiot.
She collected their packages, and they got into the car.
"I really think we'll make it," Phil said, turning around to watch the back window as they backed out of the parking space.
"I hope so, this is Dana's huge performance, and if we miss this she'll be so sad," Keely said admiring the red top she had bought for the occasion.
"We will if we don't run into-" Phil stopped when he saw the gigantic traffic jam he had just pulled into.
"Oh sweet Jesus," Keely said
Phil rolled his eyes, and said, "This is insane! We might as well change clothes in the back seat!"
Keely shrugged in agreement, and said, "O.K.," Keely then jumped into the back seat, and began changing clothes.
Phil shook his head, because he wasn't actually serious. He kept looking into the review mirror, and she didn't notice, until he said, "Does pink really go with black?" because the shirt she had been wearing was black, and he bra was pink.
Keely gasped, and covered her bra with the red shirt, as she turned around and buttoned the red shirt.
"There," she said, climbing back into the front seat.
"O.K., no how am I supposed to change?" Phil asked
"Same way I did," Keely said
Phil shook his head, and since the cars weren't moving anywhere, he jumped into the back seat, and Keely slid into the driver's seat.
About ten seconds later he shooed Keely from the driver's seat, and she proceeded to the passenger's seat. Now that half of the hard part was over, they only had to get there.
Approximately fifteen minutes after that, they were out of the traffic jam, but twenty minutes late, and not to the hour early showing either. Keely jumped out of the car, and tried to run into the theater. She was running just about as fast as she could go, Phil had just about caught up to her when she stopped short, the doors to the theater were locked. Phil threw his hands up in the air in defeat, but he obviously didn't know Keely Teslow! She began banging on the glass doors, shouting, "Hello! Hello?" about nine hundred times before a short, thin man in a suit with large black rimmed glasses opened the door.
"What is it Miss?" he said, opening the door, mid-knock.
"Well, my daughter is in the production in progress right now, and we need to be in there, so could we just, go in," Keely said
"And your daughter is….?"
"Dana Teslow-Diffy…." Keely said, with a questioned tone in her voice, not sure if he knew her by name
"Ah! The one singing beautifully at this very moment, follow me." he said, opening the door wider, so Phil and Keely could walk in.
The short, thin man led Phil and Keely down a long hallway, where they could hear Dana singing. She sounded amazing, Keely bit her bottom lip, "Phil," she said, "Dana is going to hate us for missing this,"
"I know," Phil answered.
The short thin man opened the door to the theater, and there was Dana on the stage in a white gown, surrounded by a choir of people singing with her:
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king.
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king...
The entire room, filled with people went in an uproar of clapping and cheering, and although Phil and Keely were standing off to the side in the isle next to the endless rows of seats, all full of people, Dana still noticed them there, and tried to casually wave without drawing a lot of attention to herself. The waved back, however, not caring who looked at them.
Then the curtain fell, and the announcer said something about the show returning in fifteen minutes, this meant intermission. Phil and Keely rushed to the door next to the stage, with a sign above it that read 'Exit', they knew it lead to the stage. They rushed back and found Dana playing with her powder brush at her make-up station.
"Hey, sweetie," Keely said, running up to her.
"Hey! Nice of you guys to finally show up," she said
"Look, we are So sorry, but we had our reasons,"
"Reasons more important than seeing me sing?"
"Well, Dana, you're too young to understand,"
"Uh-huh," she said sarcastically. Turning to look at herself in the mirror.
"Well, we're here now," Phil said
"Yeah, well, I don't have anymore big parts, that was it, I tap dance later, but that's not a huge deal." Dana said
"Yes, it is," Phil corrected her
"Hrmph," was Dana's only reply
A/N: There's another chapter so everyone knows how it ends, lol, oh and Dana looks like Aly looked when she was 7 or so, (when she was a medieval princess, that we saw on their concert,) but with brown hair, and her voice sounds the same, as apposed to when she's 14, 15, 16, and so on, her voice sounds like Keely's lol.
