Chapter 2
As the five contestants took their seats in the waiting room Mercedes, Sam, and sat next to each other. Ryan then came out and told Mercedes it was her turn. She took a deep breath but before she entered the room she turned to Sam and said "Wish me luck babe!"
He stood up and hugged her. "You don't need it because your going to knock um dead, but since I know you want to hear it good luck Miss Mercedes Jones." He laughed and kissed her cheek.
"I love you! I just wanted you to know!" Mercedes winked at him and entered the room. That was the first time she said I love you to any one. When she walked in she waved to the judges and smiled.
"Well hello, and who are you?" Simon asked.
"My name is Mercedes Jones!" She said kind of scared but she smiled anyway.
"And what are you going to be singing for us today?" Randy asked taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes.
"Um.. I'll be singing Respect by my all time favorite singer Aretha Franklin!" She said kind of scared.
"That is some pretty big shoes to fill do you think you can handle it?" Randy asked.
"Oh Hell To The NO! You did not just ask me that! I will give Aretha Franklin justice right now do you hear me!" Mercedes yelled.
"I like you, if your voice is as fun and spontaneous as your attitude then we might just be looking at our next American idol!" Simon said as he chewed his pen. "Now lets hear that voice!"
Mercedes took a deep and started to sing.

By the time she caught her breath all the judges were standing and clapping. "wow, wow, wow! That was fabulous!" Randy couldn't contain his excitement. "Well it is 100% yes for me! No doubt in my mind says no! Simon?"
"That was…Fabulous! I enjoyed every minute of it. For me it's a Yes! Paula?" Simon said smiling.
"Wow I agree with these two great people, but I have to ask did you audition for us before because you seem oddly familiar?" Paula asked.
"Nope, never auditioned before! So does this mean I'm going to Hollywood?" Mercedes asked.
"Yes!" They all said.
Mercedes then cheered and thanked the judges before leaving. When she left the room she ran into Sam's arm and screamed "I'm going to Hollywood!"
Hope you liked Mercedes Audition!
For the next chapter i'm either going to do just Sam's audition or both Sam and Mr. Shuester's!
Would you like both or just one?
