Thank you to my only reviewer for this chapter: Maska It is nice to have some of my old reviewers from my last story back :) in reply for everyone i made up that scene becuase it would be difficult to act out if you weren't a professional i wouldn't be able to act out something like that with someone i just met, so it would really test the quality of the actors. The Power Green corp are like considered preforming royalty in my story anyway. i probably should of explained that better last chapter so hope it clears it up.
till then on with the chapter hope you all enjoy, and review.

Well there was that mistake during the dancing…
"Miss"
Though they all seemed to enjoy my singing…
"Miss"
I thought I did the scene well though…maybe I over acted a little too much…
"MISS"
Aurora finally snapped out of the thoughts to a customer calling her.
"I'm so sorry, can I help you?"
"We are ready to order now" The lady said clearly annoyed that Aurora hadn't been paying attention.
"Ok, what would you like?" Aurora took the order then left to take it to the kitchen.
Keep your mind on your work and worry about the how you did in the audition later.
The rest of the day thankfully passed without incident and Aurora kept her mind on the job. After her shift finished at five thirty Aurora went window shopping then back to her apartment and got a few hours of sleep in before she had to go and do her set at The Spot Club.

Later when she parked her car, she shuddered remembering last night's escapade. She would have to be more careful from now on. Walking down the main street at a brisk pace she reached the club in record time and went out the back to change with the other girls, but not before telling Becky, the dance group founder/ fellow dancer about last night.
"Jesse why didn't you come back after it happened?"
"I nice guy came to my rescue, so I just left straight away, its ok I'm fine"
"Ok, but make sure you go with someone when your leaving, I don't want to have to replace you" Becky teased as she walked away to finish getting ready.

"It is now 12am here at The Spot nightclub and time to welcome again to our stages the "Juicy Girls" brought to you by Vodka Cruiser and Empire Dancers"
The roar of the crowd followed this announcement as the girls ran out on to the stage/ dance floor and took their positions.
The fast beat song came on and the dance began. It was the kind of song that required fast movement and energy, but it was the kind of song you couldn't listen to and not have the energy to dance for.
The dance floor seemed to vibrate from the beat of the song, it was all around intoxicating and exhilarating. Aurora danced the provocative moves ignoring the cat calls from the male spectators, while doing a jump kick then swinging in to a turn then dropping and pounding her hands on the floor before arching back up and continuing.
Even this kind of dancing brought a large smile to her face, dancing was fun even when guys were practically slobbering.
Once the dance finished there was a round of applause and the voice over the loud speaker spoke again
"The girls will be walking around for the next hour and posing for official photos near the entrance, so don't miss out….. Right here at The Spot nightclub"
Aurora stepped of the stage and was heading towards the bar to get a bottle of water when a voice behind her, stopped her in her tracks
"You know you're a very talented at a lot of things" Aurora turned around and came face to face with a smirking Michael
"What are you doing here?" Aurora immediately got defensive as well as blushing slightly; she silently thanked the dim lighting so he wouldn't notice.
"I had no idea going out and coming to this particular club wasn't allowed, we had better let these other people in here know" Michael said in a mock serious tone
"You know that is not what I meant" Aurora said looking closely at him, wearing jeans and a dress shirt, his hair was spiked up and his amber eyes were sparkling with suppressed humor
"I was out and thought I would come in, I knew you were performing, plus I thought I could walk you to your car later so we don't have a repeat of last night"
"Thanks Michael you didn't have to though, I have to be here at least another hour"
"Well I'm in no rush I have the day off tomorrow , so do what you have to" Aurora nodded and started to walk away but not before she heard Michaels parting words "That outfit does look hot on you, you should wear it more often" Aurora turned and glared at him before continuing to the bar.

An hour and a half later found Michael and Aurora leaving the club, Aurora having changed from her revealing stage outfit to jeans and a button up black shirt.
The conversation flowed in a relaxed way as they walked down the main street
"Do you feel like going for a coffee or food" Michael finally asked
"I could use a coffee right now, yeah" Aurora said looking up and smiling at him
Ten minutes later they were seated in a 24 hour Coffee shop named Coco bean.
"How did you get in to acting, I have to ask?" Aurora asked after taking a sip of her hot coffee
"When I left school three years ago, I didn't know what I wanted to do, I grew up around music and acting, both my parents are in the profession so when I needed a job my parents set me up and I have been doing it ever since and I haven't looked back"
"So are your parents still in the theater?"
"My mum does acting lessons and my dad is now a director but every now and again they do an opera or play"
"Wow that is so fantastic, must be great to have your parents supporting you" Aurora smiled sweetly, but Michael could sense something behind it
"What about you, how come you want to be on the stage?"
"It has been my dream since I was little there is nothing else I would rather be doing, I am going to university too, but I have wanted to do this as long as I can remember"
"What about your parents"
"Lets just say they didn't think it was a respectable life style, so I decided to get out on my own and see what I could make happen" Aurora Shrugged
"So how do you think your going so far?"
"I only moved out a few days ago I have two jobs, go to university and I just had an audition with Power Green Theater cooperation so we will have to see how that pans out" Michael laughed
"Not to give you any false hope but the girl was auditioned after you was dreadful, lets just say it made you look better" Aurora laughed slightly
"I don't want to know anything else except when do you think you will reach a decision?"
"It won't be till at least Monday, could be later though" Michael said truthfully and Aurora nodded in response.
"I should probably start heading home" Aurora admitted, Michael nodded they both stood up, Michael offering her hand to Aurora which she took and they began the walk back to the parking garage.
"Even if you don't get in to the theater group I would love to see you again Anna" Michael finally said when they were half way back to where her car was parked
"I would like that too" Aurora smiled up at him before shifting her glance to just over his shoulder, they were passing a closed News agency which was displaying the latest papers. On the front cover of one of them was a very blonde Aurora in her school uniform with another picture of her grieving parents the headline read Prime Ministers Daughter still Missing. Aurora's smile faded from her face and she stopped dead in her tracks
"Anna? What's wrong" Michael turned around and followed her gaze "It's a shame about her hey, what's her name again
"Aurora Davis" Aurora said quietly
"I hope they find her soon, no telling what happened to her"
You have no idea…
"Yeah" Aurora said shakily
"You ok?" Michael asked again "You look a little pale"
"I'm fine" Aurora replied softly finally willing her legs to move they walked the rest of the way to the garage in silence. Aurora located her car and unlocked it
"Thank you, I had fun" Aurora said quietly.
She told Michael her mobile number which he stored in his mobile phone before he kissed her good morning on the cheek making Aurora blush and walked over to his car.
Aurora watched him go a slight sadness settling in the pit of her stomach before hopping in to her car and starting the engine and driving home.
What are my parents playing at I told them I was ok, they would have already got the note why are they still saying I am missing when they know I'm not…
I'll write them again and tell them to stop wasting everyone's time I'm not coming home.
+-+
It was late on Aurora's day off when she finally woke up.
Stretching Aurora leisurely got up and had a nice long hot shower and made herself some breakfast.
Later she turned on her stereo and gave her apartment a little tidy up before sitting down to write her parents again.
Dear Mum and Dad
Just checking in to let you both know I am ok. My jobs are going well and I love all my university classes. I even had an audition for a theater group; I am still waiting to hear back though it sounds promising.
I can't help but notice that you have ignored me telling you that I ran away in favor of wasting everyone's time looking for me, they should be dedicating their time to finding the real people in need of assistance.
I am fine and I chose to do this. I am not missing, so stop searching for me
I love you both, but stop worrying
You're daughter
Aurora
She posted it and went out grocery shopping before coming home, studying, watching a movie, cooking dinner and getting to bed early.
Sadly sleep seemed to elude her; she couldn't get her mind off Michael or the prospect of the theater group.
It would be a dream come true, to perform at a professional level…
It would be a dream if Michael called…
Only time will tell, you really should stop worrying about it you have to work tomorrow.
Finally after what seemed like hours Aurora fell asleep dreaming of the future and possibilities to come.
