Foxchick1: That's what I'm hoping for.
Gamelover41592: Yeah, writing them singing the Disney songs was fun.
Matt (Guest): I don't fully get what you mean by secret talent, but there is much more to her then meets the eye. Also, the only case Sierra would be good at solving is if Cody got kidnapped.
Omni Spectator (Guest): No worries. I was just wondering because I remembered you not seeming so pleased at the reveal Meta Knight wasn't going to be the one raising Owen. Also, yes the chapter was super cute.
Alright, so like I said last time, this is the first step in the girls' journey to stardom. You should know what is coming.
"OMG! I'm so excited!" Callie gushed. The three girls were standing backstage. They had entered in Inkopolis's first annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest. With their singing skills, the girls thought it would be fun. However, Sammy seemed to be growing more nervous by the second.
"Um, Sammy?" Marie asked as she walked over to her younger sister. "Are you okay?"
"I...I'm scared!" Sammy admitted.
"Why?" Callie asked.
"There are so many people! What if we screw up? What...what if I screw up?" Sammy said. Callie and Marie just looked at each other before smiling and pulling Sammy into a hug.
"Sammy, you aren't going to screw up," Marie assured her.
"Besides, we are going to be out there with you," Callie added in. "So if you get nervous, just remember that we are going to be right there," Sammy smiled, a few happy tears running down her face. She didn't know why, but getting all this support felt amazing.
"You two are the best big sisters ever!" Sammy gushed.
"Up next, hailing all the way from the country, are Callie, Marie and Sammy Cuttlefish!" The announcer said.
"Let's go make history," Callie said confidently.
"You said it," Sammy said. All three girls walked on stage. A few people in the crowd gushed over their matching kimonos(Sammy's is red if you are wondering). However, most of the crowd focused on one thing.
"Is that a human?"
"I thought they were extinct!"
"Are there more of them?"
"Dude, that is so cool!"
"How is that possible?"
Sammy was a little uncomfortable with them all talking about her, but a quick look at Callie and Marie kept her calm.
"Let me know when you are ready," The DJ said to the girls.
"We're ready!" Callie declared. With a thumbs up, the DJ started the music. The song in question was a folk tune called Calamari Inkantation. Cap'n Cuttlefish had told them that the song had magic powers. Once you heard it, you were never the same. While the girls weren't sure about that, they did like the song. The crowd was dead silent as the three girls sang, the music had them entranced. The girls finished and waited.
One person stood up and cheered.
Then another
Then another
Then another
The girls watched in awe as everyone rose to their feet, clapping and cheering. With a quick bow, the girls moved backstage, where their parents and grandfather were waiting.
"Well done, girls!" Jason said.
"You three sang that song like you created it yourself," Cap'n Cuttlefish said as he managed to lower himself down so the girls could give him a hug.
"Thanks gramps!" Sammy said with pride.
"You three are totally gonna be the winners!" Aqua promised them.
"Really?" All three girls asked.
"No doubt," Jason backed up his wife.
The rest of the show ran without issue for the most part. However, at the end, a young girl's singing created a shockwave and blew out most of the speakers. As such, everyone was waiting for the mircophone's speakers to be repaired in order for the results to be revealed.
"Ladies and gentlesquids, boys and girls!" The announcer began. "I have to say, I was not expecting this to be as unanimous as it was. However, I can say with no doubt that the winner is….Callie, Marie and Sammy Cuttlefish!" The crowd went wild as the girls returned to the stage, their family in tow. The girls were all smiling, waving and bowing as the DJ presented them with a trophy and certificate. As the newspaper took their pictures, Callie, Marie and especially Sammy felt like they were on top of the world.
Our girls get their first real taste of stardom. Next time, we are going to jump ahead into the future, where the girls try their hands at the news. See you then.
