Chapter Six: The Sailor Singer, Part 2
The next afternoon, Kayla was in her and Serena's room getting ready for the finals of the singing contest. She was so happy to make it this far. She didn't tell her brother and sister that she entered and made it to the finals.
"I think I'm ready to do this," Kayla told herself. She heard a car pull up to the house.
Kayla ran downstairs in her blue glittery dress to the door.
"Who could that be?" Kayla asked herself. She opened the door and saw Seto standing there.
"Seto, what are you doing here?" Kayla asked.
"I came to take you to the finals," Seto replied.
Kayla hugged him and they both went to his car and got in. As they drove down to the finals, Kayla remained quiet.
Meanwhile at the place the finals were being held, Mina, along with Serena, Lita, Ami, Ray, and Andrew were waiting for Kayla and Seto.
"Where could they be?" Ray said angrily.
"I'm sure they'll be here soon, Ray," Ami said.
Then a limo came up and Kayla and Seto stepped out of the limo. They walked over to their friends. The group of friends walked into the building together. Kayla and Mina signed their names on the contestant list. Both girls sat down to wait their turn by their friends.
"I wish you both the best of luck," Ami said. The rest of the girls nodded in agreement.
"Good luck Mina," Kayla told Mina. Mina looked at her.
"You too Kayla," Mina replied with a smile.
Just then, Mina's number was called. Mina got up and walked out on the stage and started singing. Backstage, the others were listening to her song. Seto looked over at Kayla. She was looking like she was sick.
"What's wrong Kayla?" Seto asked as he sat down beside her. She looked up at him.
"I'm just more nervous now than I was in the addition," Kayla replied.
Seto took her hand in his to comfort her.
"You'll do great," he assured her.
After Mina's song was over she left and ran backstage. Then Kayla' number was called next. She felt her heart beat faster as she walked onto the stage. Kayla told the judges her song was 'Power of Love.' As she sang, she felt the power of love from her friends, from Seto, and from her family. Everyone clapped after she was done. Then Kayla went backstage to join her friends.
"You sounded great too, Kayla," Mina told her. Seto came over and put his arms around Kayla.
"I told you, you'd do great, Kayla," Seto said.
Then a man came at of a door near them and posted the results of the contest. A bunch of girls ran to the paper to see who won. Kayla and Mina ran to the board too. They saw many girls heartbroken that they didn't win, and many didn't care. Mina finally got to the paper and saw that she made second place.
"Oh well, I made second place," Mina said.
Then Kayla got to it too and saw something she did not expect to see on that paper. She saw she made first place, which meant she won.
"It looks like you won, Kayla," Mina said.
"Yeah, I guess I did," Kayla replied.
Kayla and the gang left after that. Lita, Ami, Ray, and Serena rode with Kayla and Seto in the limo. When they got in the limo, Kayla was tired and laid her head on Seto's shoulder. Then he put his arm around her and pulled her close to him.
After Kayla got home, Serena went to get snacks for her and Kayla. Upstairs Kayla was on the computer and video called Marik and Ishizu to tell them she won the singing contest. She also thought if she should tell them she was Sailor Sun. She decided not to tell them. Marik's picture and Ishizu's picture came up on Kayla's screen.
"Hello Kayla, how are you doing?" Ishizu asked.
"I'm fine, but I wanted to tell you guys some good news," Kayla said.
"What's the good news?" Marik asked.
"I won a singing contest today," Kayla told them. Ishizu and Marik looked surprised that Kayla could sing that well.
"Well congratulations, Kayla," Marik said.
"Thank you, Marik," Kayla replied.
"Well we better be going Kayla, talk to you later," Ishizu said as her picture disappeared as well as Marik's.
Serena walked in with snacks and sat down in front of the TV to watch a movie.
"Kayla aren't you coming to watch the movie?" Serena asked. Kayla stood from the computer.
"Yeah I'm coming," Kayla said. She walked over to where Serena was sitting and sat down beside her. Serena started the movie and Kayla felt relaxed.
