Angelina decided to go downstairs and help set up the table. She thought that if she set the table that her parents would have more of a chance to talk about the audition. She jumped the last three steps and than walked into the dining room and got the cutlery and the nice china from the cupboard next to the mahogany table that was centered in the room.
'Hey dad' Angelina looked up and than place that last plate down. She had set three plates and cutlery up. Normally she would set the table for four or sometimes five, the extra two for her brother and sister who came for dinner a majority of nights. But her sister, Alexa was away on business; she had gone into the city to work with one of her friends to produce one of her books. While her brother, Daniel had gone over seas for a holiday for a few months.
'Out of the way Angelina' Leanne had a hot bowl of pasta in her hands so she was rushing to put it down seeing as it had mist coming from the tip of it. ' You two can sit down. I'll just get the drinks'
Angelina sat in her usual seat and waited for her mother to come back. She always waited for everyone to be at the table that way they were all included. Once her mother had poured a drink for everyone and sat down, Tony started dishing out the pasta, which was fettuccine, one of the family's favourite pasta dishes.
Angelina started to eat her pasta put soon stopped when she realized that no one had started talking. She hesitantly started to speak.' So, how was everyone's day today'
'Mine was all right, we started to work on one of the new computer programmes'Tony replied and than looked across at his wife and then back at his daughter.
'Really? Which one? The one for the photo graphics or the new computer game?' Angelina asked as she looked up at her dad and put her cutlery down.
'Both actually. But me and your mother both want to talk to you about something serious now Angelina' Tony said as he looked over at his wife and nodded slightly as he put his cutlery down and pushed his plate over to the side, so that he wouldn't spill anything on himself or his work clothes, which he hadn't changed out of yet.
'Well as you know Angelina, me and your father have been down here for awhile discussing about what you told me earlier today and we read the flyer that you handed to me when you came back from school. And well we have decided to.' Leanne started to feel the tears well up in her eyes, as she knew that her 'baby' was growing up.
'Well what your mother is trying to say is that we have decided to let you audition for The Lion King, under two conditions, firstly you do all your schoolwork before practicing, secondly, if you don't get into the final selection please don't beat yourself up over it okay?'
'You really mean? I mean thank you so much and I promise that I will stay on top of all my school work for the next few weeks' Angelina jumped up and ran around to the other side of the table and hugged her mother and than her father. 'Oh that reminds I have a science test tomorrow, I better go and study for a while before I go onto the Internet to look up some things.'
Angelina walked up the stairs and started to think about a few things and how her dream was starting to get stringed together, but all she had to do at the moment was hope to be one of the eight children selected to dazzle the audiences twice a week.
Leanne and Tony stayed silent for just a few minutes after Angelina had left the room both just wrapped up in their own thoughts.
"An ways look seeing as you cooked dinner again tonight, I will clean up after I get changed ok.'Tony said he pushed his chair out and then leaned over and planted a kiss on his wife's head and than got up and left the room.
Leanne ignored what her husband had said and quickly piled the plates up and put them in the kitchen on the sink near the back door and than walked into the lounge room which was opposite the stairs leading upstairs and flicked on the televisions and saw that 'Friends' was on and it was one of her favourite episodes as well, The one with all the cheesecake.
Once Tony had come down he realized that his wife and already cleaned the dining table up as she was already sitting in the lounge room and watching TV.' That was nice of you to clean the table for me'
"Yeah I did but you have to wash up this time, all the plates are in the back sink' Leanne said as she looked up at her husband and then back at the television screen.
"Well I better go and clean them then' Tony replied to his wife and walked away. Meanwhile Angelina was upstairs writing out some study notes for the test.
Angelina kept looking back up at the clock and then her mobile, which was switched off so that no one could contact her while she was studying.
About an hour later, Angelina had studied about 20 pages of writing and had written some notes so that she could go through them during her free period before the test, without having to carry the 2 kilo text book, all day.
As she got up form her chair, her mother walked in and sat on her double bed, which was in the middle of the room against the wall.' So have you done all your homework?'
'Yes, I wrote about 3 pages of study notes for the test tomorrow and I also read through the new play we are studying at school' Angelina replied as she got up and walked over to her full length mirror and pulled her hair out of the pony tail and started to plait it so that it wouldn't get messed up in the night when she was asleep.
'Very well done Angelina, anyways seeing as tomorrow is Friday, I was wandering of you would like to go over to Paige's house for the night, that way you two could study for school and possibly practice for the audition' Leanne said as she turned around and looked over at her daughter who was now going through her closet, trying to find her pajama's.
"Really. That would be fantastic, Thanks mum, I'll sms and let her know then. I'll be back I just want to go and get changed' Angelina walked out of the room and walked down to the bathroom.
Thanks again everyone for the reviews!
