The rest of that school week went quickly, with a lot of practices, and a lot of studying. It was Finally Friday, the day of the auditions, and everyone of the gang was more than ready.
They were all dressed up as there characters, and Darbus sat at in front of the stage at her desk.
They were all sort of nervous, but they were also confident, and felt they just wanted to get the auditions done with.
"Josh Evans, Catherine Evans, Max O'Riley, Stacey Evans, and Gina Bolton, let's show them how real theater is performed!"
They all went up, and got in there places to start their audition.
They all sang "Dancing Through Life, acting out what was supposed to be going on.
"BRAVA!" yelled Darbus when they were finished.
Then, they did other peoples auditions, then it was time for Gina and Cathy's song.
Gina started:
"I'm limited
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us - now it's up to you..."
Then Cathy came in:
"I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you
Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good"
Than Gina sang again
"It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you"
Cathy:
"Because I knew you"
Both:
"I have been changed for good"
Gina:
"And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the thing I've done you blame me for"
Cathy:
"But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share"
Both
"And none of it seems to matter anymore"
Than they sang in a round, hitting the notes perfectly, and then nailing the ending.
When they got off the stage, everyone applauded, and Gina felt very confidant about getting Elphaba.
Than It was Gina and Josh's song.
They went up to the stage, ready to sing. Gina started yet again.
"Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreamings
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me
And just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make ev'ry last moment last
As long as you're mine"
Josh was shocked at how good she sounded, he had heard her sing various times at rehersals, but she had never sang that good. He was thinking about it so much he almost forgot his cue, but than started singing just on time:
"Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's "up" that I fell"Than they both sang in perfect harmony:
"Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time"
Than Josh sang:
"Say there's no future
For us as a pair"
Than they sang in Perfect Harmony again:
"And though I may know
I don't care!
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine"
They finished the song perfectly, and they left the stage. Darbus then explained to them that she was going to post the cast list on Monday, and she specially congradulated the gang on there great performances.
Then the gang, feeling very confident, left the auditions, and decided for there Friday night out to go for ice cream.
Once at the ice cream parlor they all got a table. The theme was supposed to be like an 80's diner. The waitresses were on roller blades, and the floor and tables were matching black and pink checker pattern.
They ordered sundaes, and ate them, talking about who would get what part in the show.
Cathy decided that she wanted to call Chris to come, so she called him.
"Hey, where are you" she said, when he answered.
"Im just leaving Gina's, I came here looking for you...look..Cathy.. I gotta tell you something." he replied.
"Okay" replied Cathy, a little worried.
"Well, before I came here, I lived in New York, and um... Jasmine is my ex girlfriend" he said.
Cathy dropped her spoon, which landed in her glass ice cream dish, making a loud noise.
"Oh...so what are you saying... you still have feelings for her?" she asked.
"NO, I broke up with her, she still had feelings for me" he replied.
"So what are you trying to tell me Chris?" she asked.
"She um...well...when I went over Gina's, looking for youshe kissed me" he replied.
"AND YOU LET HER!" she exclaimed.
"NO! I tried to get her away"
"Chris, I can't talk to you right now, Im out with my friends, goodbye" said Cathy, before clicking off, and throwing her cell phone in her purse.
"Wow, Cathy...what happened?" asked Stacey.
Cathy told them the story.
"That slut!" exclaimed Gina. "I told you I didn't like Jasmine" she finished, swirling the rest of her ice cream around in the glass dish with her spoom.
"Well, it doesn't matter, me and Chris are over" Cathy replied
"Cathy, you don't know if itst his fault, he said she kissed him" said Gina
"That's what he is saying, and he coudl have stopped her if he wanted to" said Cathy, tears now forming in her beautiful sea green eyes.
"Cathy, you don't really believe he would do that to you, do you?" asked Max.
"I just...I don't know...I need to think..." said Cathy.
"Do you want me to drive you home?" asked Max.
"Please" said Cathy.
So the gang all payed for there ice cream, and they all went home.
They all couldn't wait until Monday, and for the card game the next night that would be held at Josh and Stacey's house.
