I own myself.
*Mattnightmare as himself
"Hello?" Someone called into the dark studio.
It was the next contestant, Matt Nightmare.
He realized he was early, but why was it so dark? Hadn't Pinhead said the lights would be on backstage?
He ran his fingers through his jet black hair in confusion.
His eyes flickered to the first row, where he could just make two shapes out...No, wait,...The two shapes were making out.
Matt felt sick to his stomach.
Suddenly, he felt a burst of curiosity over take him.
He crept forward slowly, mimicking Jason's measured steps.
Matt looked up to Jason.
Jason was "Da Bomb", as Matt had put it so many times before.
As he neared the shapes, he wiped his hands on his Iron Maiden shirt.
His palms were sweaty, considering he didn't know who he was about to 'interrupt'...
Matt dug up as much courage as possible, reached out and poked the taller shape in the shoulder.
The shape jumped.
"Damn it Freddy, it's just the next contestant." A girl sighed.
"Kira?" Matt asked, recognizing the judge/author.
Kira clapped her hands and the lights turn on.
"Yeah, what do you want?"
Her brown eyes were slits.
"KIRA!" Freddy gasped, wondering why she was so hostile.
Kira turned to Freddy who was his human self at the moment.
"He rudely interrupted us!" Kira yelled.
Matt took several steps back.
Was she bipolar?
"Sorry, I was just wondering why no one was here..but I have the distinct feeling I've just found out..."
Matt brought his sentence to a close hastily, his eyes bouncing from Freddy to Kira.
"Yes, you have now would you be so kind as to leave...NOW?!" Kira said huffily turning to Freddy.
Freddy seemed to be begging him to stay and help.
Matt stood there akwardly no knowing what to.
"Are you gone yet?" Kira asked, moving even closer to Freddy, who hadn't moved an inch.
Kira was now settled on his lap.
"Now darling..Where were we?" Kira whimpered tenderly.
Freddy's eyes pleaded with Matt to help.
Matt sat down in the chair behind him and snapped back to a standing position quickly.
Freddy smiled Evily, doing the manuver himself.
It expeled Kira off of him and into the floor.
Matt grinned as Freddy strode up the aisle toward him.
"Thank you." Freddy whispered gratefully shaking Matt's hand.
"No problem...She seems...uh..." Matt couldn't think of anything nice so he trailed off.
"Bitchy?" Freddy suggested.
Matt and Freddy exchanged glances.
"Well, not exactly."
Freddy's eyebrows shot up.
Matt bit his lip.
"I mean,...She's not normally like this right?" Matt asked, as Freddy threw open the exit door leading into a corridor with blinding floresent lights.
Freddy chuckled.
"Not normally."
"So, she probably hates me now?"
Freddy considered his question.
"To be quite honest, probably...but If you give her a good performance when it's your turn to sing..."
Matt nodded weakly.
Kira had looked pretty furious at the stunt he had pulled.
Freddy glanced Matt's way and stuck his hand out.
"Freddy Krueger."
Matt knew who he was, but decided to not upset the psycho killer.
"Matt Nightmare."
"My favorite word." Freddy mumbled.
The two shook hands.
The other judges were walking toward them.
"Oh, You must be Matt Nightmare!" Pinhead said beaming.
The judges said a hurried hello.
"Elliot? Kira's probably pissed off right now...Maybe we should let Matt rest out here a minute and breath...And thanks for taking care of that Bitch for me!"
With that the judges left Matt on his own.
"Twenty minutes and we're on!" Pinhead called back over his shoulder.
Matt nodded numbly.
"Remember Matt, don't piss off any other judges...Got that?" He asked himself.
Realizing he was completely alone in the hall he began to hum the tune of his choice song.
His humming turned to singing shortly after, and in the shadows there was a silent listener.
The regretful judge Kira Duvane...
(Sorry if this sounds nothing like you Matt! It kinda took on a life of it's own! Enjoy...The next part is the actual singing in front of the panel of Judges.)
