Chapter Three- Talent Show Time, Getting Ready Backstage

As soon as Ron and Zita entered the backstage area, they run across Ron's best friend, Kim. Zita greeted Kim and left the area. Kim and Ron hugged each other and Kim asked, So Ron, you ready to go?"

"I still have a lot to go over and I'm a little nervous as well." Ron said.

"Don't be nervous. Take a deep breath and let the words come to you." Kim told her blonde best friend.

"Okay, KP. I'll do just that." Ron said.

"What about Zita?" Kim asked.

"What about her?" Ron said.

"Are you still going to do that?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, and get this. She tried to make up with me earlier. I went for it but I still have to do this though." He said.

"Okay, remember. Be gentle with her." Kim reminded him.

"Sure thing, KP." He said with a goofy grin on his face.

The emcee on the stage had started the show and told everybody to take his or her seats. Kim looked through the curtain and looked back at Ron. "That's my cue. I'll be cheering for you. So go out there and break a leg." She said while hugging her best friend again.

"Okay." He said.

Kim left the backstage area and Ron started warming up. As he was doing so, Zita approached him. Ron saw her and said, "Hey Zita, where did you run off to?"

"Oh, there was something I had to do and someone I had to talk to. Plus I had ran into an old friend of mine." Zita said.

"Well I have a 15 minutes until I go on. So I got to rehearse some more. I'll see you in a little bit." Ron said.

"Okay sweetie." Zita said. She then leaned in and kissed him gently. "Good luck and break a leg, baby."

"Thanks sweetie." Ron said.

Zita left the backstage area and ran into Brick Flagg. He approached her and asked, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure, let's go out in the lobby. I don't want anybody to listen in on our conversation." Zita said.

Her and Brick went out in the lobby and started talking. And pretty soon, old habits die-hard and things started heating up. Meanwhile backstage, Ron is still a little nervous. Man this is crazy. He thought. He calms down and sang a couple of lines to the song. He tried his best but his voice cracked because of the dryness.

I need some water. He thought. Now where's the closest water fountain? Out in the lobby I think. Yeah that's it. And he left for the lobby. He went to the lobby doors and heard his girlfriend moaning. That can't be Zita, could it? He thought. He peeked through the glass and sure enough it was her, and Brick together again.

Now I have a proof to do this. Thanks for making my decision so much easier, Zita. He thought.

Oh man, not again.She did it to him once again. Maybe now Ron will step up and do what he has to do. You don't blame him... do you? What do you think will happen? Stay tuned for the answer... Until then, RC
