"Oh great!" Tammy said suddenly. Amber didn't know what she was talking about but looked up immediately and saw Emma walking through the door of the studio.

"What is she doing here?" Amber said suddenly furious. Surely, Emma was not trying out for the show! She wasn't going to have that little skank on the show with her! She was wearing a red blouse that showed off her cleavage and a black skirt that reached her knees. Emma hadn't been in town a week and she was auditioning for the show. Amber wasn't going to have it. She saw the girl standing by Penny and talking to her and a couple of the other people auditioning. The other girls were hideous and Emma was clearly the prettiest but hopefully she couldn't dance. Even if she could, she wouldn't get on this show if she had something to say about it!

She walked over to her mother who was getting ready to start the audition. "Mother, I need to talk to you."

"Not now Amber. It's time to start the audition. Can we talk later?"

"No, mom that's what I need to talk to you about. You see that girl over there the one with the red blouse?" Amber said looking towards Emma again. A lot of the council boys were gathered around her now and they were all laughing and talking. The other girls who were auditioning and the council girls were all looking at her with disgust or maybe it was jealousy. Amber was actually surprised to see the painful look in Tracy's eyes.

"Sure, she's perfect isn't she?" Velma said smiling.

"What do you mean perfect?" Amber said putting her hands on her hips.

"She's definitely got the right look and she'll be a perfect addition to the show. Don't you think so?" Velma said.

"No mom! She's a tramp!" Amber cried. She couldn't believe her mom actually liked Emma. What was she thinking?

"Come on Amber! Don't worry sweetie. She's not prettier then you are and you are still the lead dancer of the show." Velma said trying to reassure Amber. At this point she didn't care what Amber thought, the other girls auditioning weren't pretty and it didn't matter if Emma could dance or not. You can teach someone to dance but you can't make an ugly girl pretty. It was bad enough that Tracy was still on the show and she couldn't take the chance of not choosing the new dancer this time.

"Mom, she will sleep with all of the guys by the end of the week! Look at her she's already all over them!" Amber said dramatically even though it was probably the other way around but it didn't matter. Emma was NOT getting on the show not if she could help it!

"I think you are exaggerating, Amber. You didn't want Shelley on the show either and she's a great dancer."

"I can deal with Shelley, but not a whore like that!" She said angrily

"This discussion is over Amber. Emma is perfect for the show and I think you know that. But like I said you shouldn't be threatened by her." Velma said kissing her daughter on the cheek and going on to start the audition. Amber just stood there fuming. Emma was going to be on the show and there was nothing she could do about it!

"I hope you get on the show." Brad told Emma as he was talking to her.

"Thanks, that's so nice." She said smiling. He was being really nice to her and so were all of the other guys.

"Maybe we'll get to dance together." Another guy named Fender told her as he smiled at her.

"Yeah maybe." She said.

"I don't think so. He's my partner." Shelley said coldly as she came over to them.

"Besides, you aren't even on the show yet." Tammy said rolling her eyes.

"No but I really hope to be." She said trying to be nice. It wouldn't look good if she was mean to the council girls. It was bad enough the station manager was Amber's mom and she knew if Amber had any say in who got chosen she didn't stand a chance in hell.

"I'm sure you are a great dancer. I mean if you dance like you look you'll be the best dancer on the show." Brad told her. Emma felt herself blushing from head to toe. She saw Tammy and a couple of the other girls roll their eyes at that.

"I hope you make it on the show Emma. You are just what this show needs." Link told her.

"And what's that Link?" Tracy said smiling but her eyes wasn't smiling with her.

"A tramp of course! We haven't had one since Brenda left!" Amber said answering before he could say anything. The other girls including Tracy laughed. Emma saw Penny nudge Tracy with her elbow and she stopped right away.

"Come on let's get started!" she heard a thin woman with blonde hair who she figured must have been Amber's mom say.

"Good luck!" Penny told her.

"I don't think I should do this anymore. They already hate me!" She said

"Don't be silly they just have to get used to you. Once they see what a great dancer you are I'm sure they will love you." Penny said and then stepped aside. Emma quickly lined up with the other girls.

"Good morning girls! I'm Velma Von Tussle the station manager. I'm glad you came. First the girls are going to demonstrate a number of steps and you will try to follow the dance sequence. During some of you will be cut then we will have questions from the council members." Velma told them. The girls demonstrated a few difficult dance steps. Emma had no problem copying them and noticed some of the other girls had trouble keeping up. Velma dismissed half of them and Emma was glad she kept her around.

"Now, for the question portion of the audition." Velma said to the girls. Amber asked most of the questions and she wasn't very nice. She insulted one girl's dress and a couple of others hair, and she had yet to ask Emma anything but she could only imagine what kind of question Amber had for her. Brad went ahead of Amber to ask her a question. "Are you willing to date a council member?" He said giving her a flirtatious smile.

"Sure I don't see why not?" She said and laughed a little. The other guys laughed as well. She knew Amber and her friends weren't going to let it go at that.

"Don't you know we aren't allowed to stuff our bras?" Tammy said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. I never have to stuff mine's." She said and Tammy's smile faded.

"Don't you think you dress a little too slutty?" Amber said in a nasty voice.

"Amber!" Velma cried.

"What I thought I could ask any question?" Amber said innocently. Emma wanted to belt her so badly right now!

"Well, I've already made my decision anyway. It was hard because you are all so good but congratulations Emma you are the new council member " Velma said smiling at her.

"Thank you so much! I won't let you down!" Emma gushed at the same time Amber screamed "NO! Mom you can't!"

"Amber, I've made my decision. Thanks for trying out ladies. Better luck next time." Velma said and walked off. Amber trailed behind her. Penny immediately ran over to her and hugged her.

"I can't believe it! I'm going to be dancing on TV! My mom is going to be so happy!" She cried.

"I knew you could do it!" Penny exclaimed. The council guys gathered around to congratulate her. Link pulled her into a hug and said "Good job Emma. It looks like we are going to be working together." Tracy walked up and pulled Link back and gave him a dirty look.

"Congratulations Emma." Tracy said to her but it wasn't a very nice tone but she wasn't being rude either. She was the only girl to congratulate her, the others just gathered around in a circle and were talking to each other.

"This is going to be so great! I have two girl friends on the show!" Penny exclaimed

"Two girl friends?" Tracy asked.

"Sure Tracy. You and Emma of course."

"Oh right." Tracy said and then walked away with Link. It was obvious that Tracy still didn't like her and the other council girls didn't either but she remained optimistic. She hoped they would all like her someday.
