She drank two bottles of water that morning. He combed his hair longer than often. She got ready. He pulled off his nightshirt and put his outfit on, to meet her outside. She took a deep breath and walked outside.
"Let's go." She said.
"Ready?"
"I wanna throw up right now. I'm so nervous."
"Well once we make a fool of ourselves, we'll laugh about it later."
At the competition Emily was giving Violet evil eyes.
"So I heard that you and Mike kissed…" she said.
"What?" said Violet sounding a little nervous. "Who gave you that idea?"
"About what?" said Mike getting involved. Violet grabbed him and dragged him to the room ahead.
"She's getting suspicious…" Violet hissed.
"About what?"
"I think she found out that we kissed that night in the car."
"But we were in the garage. There's no way she could have seen us."
"Well I think she somehow found out. There was probably a hidden camera she placed after she was curious about us."
"And your right." Said Emily holding a video tape. "I got you on hidden camera. During the show, I'll put the tape in and the show will cut off to see you two kissing and then they'll kick you out!"
"Oh no you won't." said Violet trying to grab the tape. Emily stuck her tongue out.
"You'll have to catch me!"
"Fine!" said Violet. "Maybe I will!" Violet tackled Emily to the ground.
"Chickfight!" a boy yelled. Dancers gathered around to see a ballerina and a break dancer, fighting.
"Gimme that tape!" Violet yelled.
"No!" Emily protested.
Violet quickly reached her arm out to get the tape.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" the kids chanted.
"STOP!" an adult yelled separating the two. "What s wrong with you? You're acting like animals!" he pulled the tape out of Emily's hand. "Whose is this?"
"It's mine." Said Violet trying to take it.
"And what would you be doing exactly with a tape?"
"Uh…"
"Her parents wanted to tape the show." Said Mike. "But it must up accidentally slipped into her bag by mistake."
"What? Oh yeah! That's right!"
The man threw the tape to Violet.
"I hope your parents have another tape…" he mumbled.
When no one was looking, Violet threw the tape in the trash.
"That was close…" said Mike.
The competition started. At the end the finals were Emily and Ryan, Violet and Mike.
"And the winner is…" the host said pointing at Emily. He shot back at Mike and Violet.
"Mike and Violet!"
"What?" Emily said walking to the host. "No fair! I paid you a lot of money to make me the winner, and you picked them?"
The host ignored her and gave Mike and Violet, two dance champ rings and a big trophy. Violet excused herself to use the restroom but instead dug into the trash can until she found the tape. As they walked out of the building they seemed to fight over who got to keep the trophy.
"No you have it." Said Violet. "I have enough to fill up my house!"
"No you keep it. Add it to your collection."
"How many trophy's do you have?"
"Five bowling trophy's. Why?"
"Thought so. You keep it." Said Violet. "I have over four hundred trophies. That's way too much." Violet stepped out of the car. "I'll see you tomorrow at the country club. Can't wait to meet your cousin."
She thought Mike would flip and think, "Why would I lie to her like that?" But instead he smiled and said, "Oh she'll be there. Expect the paparazzi everywhere." Violet just smiled and walked through the door.
"Grandma!" she screamed. "We won!"
That night, Violet waited several hours for Rose to go to bed, and when she did, Violet put in the tape and rewound it. She saw her fight with Emily and a band practice.
"This is for Violet…" it said. Violet opened her ears closely and heard him singing "Georgia Girl".
"Wow…" she said. "Veruca wasn't lying. She was right."
Then the tape fizzed to the part where Mike and Violet were laughing n the car. She saw the part when they were lip locking for an awfully long time.
"Wow…" she said again. "I cant believe it. I found love."
She reached her one big time goal. I'll she had to do was tell Mike that she felt the same way. But how was she going to do it with Jack and Emily in the way? As if she was a cartoon, a light bulb light above her head. She smiled to herself.
"Perfect…"
