The next day when Miley woke up she immediately started to regret her decision about the talent show. She really wasn't that great of a singer, she thought. She didn't really have a chance. Miley headed down the stairs to tell her dad about her decision.

"Daddy, I don't want to do the talent show anymore," Miley said, approaching the subject of the matter with no hesitation.

"Miles, why not?" Miley's dad asked in a concerned voice.

"I just don't think I can do it," Miley offered no further explanation and walked back up the stairs. Soon there was a knock on her bedroom door, which was to be expected. Her dad obviously wanted a real explanation as to why she wanted to back out of the talent show. Miley opened the door.

Robbie Ray took a seat at Miley's desk and when she didn't say anything, he decided he better start the conversation. "Miley, I understand that you're nervous, but that's no reason to back out of the talent show. You're never going to win if you don't try."

"I know dad, but I just know there will be kids who are a lot more talented then me," Miley said sadly.

"How? How do you know that bud, if you've never been to one of these talent shows? You may not even have any real competition."

"I guess you're right, but I should prepare myself just in case there is some tough competition," Miley said, brightening up a little.

"So you're back in?" Robbie Ray asked hopefully.

"Yeah, I'm back in." Miley said with a grin.
