We get back to the house and practice. I walk on to the stage with Lindsay. "Tomorrow." I say and she gulps. "We'll be fine." She says and I nod. "I hope so." I say and she entwines her fingers in mine. We smile and look over to where Ryan sits. She lets go of me and walks closer to the edge of the stage. "W-what's it like?" She asks and I shrug. "I could stand here and tell you that it's not that bad, that you do it and it is over in minutes." I say and she nods. "But I would be lying. You stand on this stage and you look at this guy- but he isn't just a guy- he is the head of Glee. It's scary as hell. Seconds turn into minutes. You slow down and for a second you think you're going to throw up-or-faint-or-both. But then he lets you go and you see your friends, you don't know if it's goodbye and you think of all the things you should have said and should have done. Then you see the callback sheet and you want to cry because you are so happy." She smiles. "No pressure." I look at her. "Burst out of that ground tonight, dance as if you are the only person there, it'll help, breath deep and claw your way to the top." I say with a wink and she nods. "Easy for you to say." I laugh. "Yeah yeah yeah." She wraps her arms around my shoulders and I lift her up. I give her a piggy back into the house and we laugh. I drop her the sofa and the screen lights up. "A Car will be lifting you at 7pm sharp. Eat dinner before you go. See you soon." We nod and Alex starts making dinner. I walk into the girls dorm and see Samuel on my bed. "Hey." I say and he looks up. "Hi." I smile and lie across the bottom of the bed. "What's up?" I ask and he shrugs. "Nothing. Just going over everything in my head." I nod. "I know the feeling." I say and he half smiles.
I take his hand and he smiles. "You can do this Sam. Stop doubting yourself." I say and he rubs my hand. "Whatever you say." He says and I get up and let go of him. I sit up beside him and hit him in the arm. "Stop over thinking it." He nods. I hit him again. "Stop hitting me!" I nod and hit him again. "I said stop." I nod again and hit him, he grabs my hand and holds it. "I told you to stop hitting me." I nod. "I know." He laughs and lets go of me. "Time for food!" Alex says and we walk out to the kitchen and sit at the table. We eat and put sweatpants and t-shirts on. We get in the van and are driven to the football pitch, The van is being lowered and we look out the windows, the van stops and we get out.
We see Erik, Zach and Robert. "Hey guys!" They say and we smile. "Hi." We see make up artists getting ready and we are told to sit in the seats. Samuel goes straight into clothes and we get painted up. "Arm." The girl says to me and I raise my arm so that she can paint it, and then the other. She paints my legs from the knees down and I look at Lindsay. "I Look Like A Green Smurf." I say and she laughs. We sit back down to dry out and so that they can put make us look gruesome. We get into our dresses and take pictures of us. Zach walks in and smiles at us. "Hey girlies." He says and we smile. "Hey Zach." We say while they put the finishing touches to us. They guys knock the door and walk in. "Hey." They say and we swing around, they jump back a little. "Exorcists much?" Cameron asks and we laugh. "Ok guys, come on." The make up girls say and we get up. We sit on the chairs and Samuel walks over and takes a picture of us with Zach. Zach then takes one of us all clawing at Samuel with him winking. We smile and get back up.
They guys come over and Robert walks in and looks at us. "Now for your prom photos." He says and we follow him into a room which has a photographer and props ready. Emily goes first because she is by herself and gets the photo taken, she moves on and I walk over with Samuel. He puts his arm around my waist and we smile at the screen. We walk away and he lets go of me when we get to the seats. Damian takes out his phone and takes pictures of us, we take pictures altogether and when Cameron and Marissa get their picture taken, we walk out and Zach nods at us to come over to a screen. We look at it and see all the people waiting, low music playing and Zach tells us what to do. "So, you punch up through here." He says and points to an area of white, paper like material. "Use the ladder here to climb out, and crawl over to your position and perform." We nod and Robert calls the girls back into the make up room and puts paint into the secret pockets of our dress. We walk out to the guys, get our microphones on and Zach looks at Samcruel. "Time to go." He says and nods. "Good luck." We say and he smiles. I wink at him and he walks out. We see him run out and everyone squeals. He looks around and runs about. The crowd go quiet and he smiles.
Zach nods at us and I burst out through the ground, I climb up and crawl accross. I stand up and they look at me, Everyone climbs through and stands up in place. I look over at Samuel and he nods. I smile and look out at the crowd. Ok, here we go, this is what you always dreamt of. "Off With Your Head." I sung and they smile. "Dance- Dance- Dance, till your dead." I sing and the crowd smiles. We perform and grab Samuel he screams at the perfect time and we crawl over him. I take out the paint and he closes his eyes while I put it all over his face, Marissa draws on scars while Lindsay gives him bruises. We get off him and walk away and dance to the instrumental. "Off with your head. Dance- Dance- Dance till your dead..."
