Inside the Audition Room

Troy went to the middle of the audition room and said, "I'm Troy Bolton and I am going to sing 'I'll Be' by Edwin McClain.

"Rain falls angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed

You're my survival, you're my living proof

My love is alive and not dead."

Paula put her hand up, nodding her head contently. "Simon."

Simon shifted in his chair. "I think, that, if we let you in, you'd by relying on your looks in the later rounds. No from me, Troy."

"Really, Simon?" Paula said. "Because I thought it was very well done. Yes from me. Randy?"

"Yo, Troy, I'll have to agree with…" Troy held his breath. 'Please, please, please…' "Paula. You're going to Hollywood, dawg!" Troy gave a small bow and thanked the judges as he grabbed his ticket and ran out of the room smiling. Gabriella gave him a huge hug.

"We get to go to Hollywood together!" She squealed. Jenny just looked on with a grin.

"Can we leave now?" Troy asked. He wanted to tell Chad, but he didn't have his phone.

"No way! Jen still has to go!" Gabriella protested. "Just call Chad!"

"I don't have my…" He trailed off as Jenny threw her rhinestone covered flip phone at him.

"Nice catch," Jenny called back as she opened the door.

Audition Room

"Hey ya'll!" Jenny called as she walked into the room.

Paula smiled and said, "You must be Jennifer Swift."

"Yes ma'm, but can you please call me Jenny?"

"What are you going to sing, Jenny?"

"Jesus, Take the Wheel by the best American Idol, Carrie Underwood."

"Okay, great."

"She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was goin' way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinnin on thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
Give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel."

Jenny was very surprised that she stopped before the judges stopped her. She smiled, trying to get them to say something.

"Yo, Jenny, that was great! Have you ever had any musical training before?"

"I was in Annie last year."

"Yes from me." Randy finished. "Paula?"

"Yes. Simon?"

"Jenny, listen." Jenny rolled her eyes. She knew those lines!

"I thought it was very average. I'm going to give you a yes, though."

"Three yeses! You're going to Hollywood!" Paula exclaimed

"Whoo!" Jenny cried rushing forward to hug the judges. She hugged all three, then grabbed her ticket and went outside. "Gabby! I made it!" She hugged Gabriella and jumped up and down. "I get to go on a plane! Cool!" Troy looked at her in disbelief.

"You've never been on a plane?"

"Hello? I grew up on a farm in Texas. Of course I've never been on a plane! I've never even been on a bus! I walked to school!"

Gabriella and Troy just laughed. This Jenny was quite a character!
