The day of auditions began with all the campers hoping for the role they wanted. Rachel woke with the sun peeking through the curtains. She sat up and looked around the room. Kendall was fast asleep, her mouth slightly open and her hair spraying over her pillow. Una on the other side of the room was curled up in a ball, her hair scraped back into a bun and her hands resting under her head. Rachel sighed. She didn't know how good this girl was, what kind of background she came from and whether the whole Queen ** show was an act or if she really was like that. As if Rachel's silent thoughts were actually words, Una sat up quickly and looked around. She glared at Rachel.
"What in the name of God are you awake so early for? It's 5am..." she snapped quietly. Kendall stirred but did not wake.
"I could ask you the same question." replied Rachel smartly, as the brown haired girl rolled her eyes and picked up the bottle of water by her bed.
"Hmm... Well I'm sure the ensemble with be glad to have you this afternoon." smirked Una cruelly, taking a swig of water before rolling over and going back to sleep. Rachel glared at her. The girl had to be the meanest person she'd ever met. Sure, she was beautiful, but that only added to the bitchy package. That was her downfall, she knew she was beautiful. And of course, daddy bought only the best designer muck for her too. Rachel sighed again. 'Stop,' she told herself. 'Don't stoop to her level'
'Ice Queen' woke again at 7, as did Kendall. The 3 girls got ready, Rachel and Kendall chatting animatedly, Una ignoring them both, focusing on perfecting her make-up.
"Good luck Rachel!" whispered Kendall after Una had left for the bathroom.
"She's gonna need it." snapped the Irish accent as 'Ice Queen' walked back into the room. Rachel and Kendall sighed, glaring at Una and left.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Down in the auditorium, Shelby sat with the other camp directors, waiting for their auditioners. Kendall walked out on stage.
"Hi!" she smiled.
"Hello there," replied Tamara, the camp's co-owner. "What's your name?"
"Kendall."
"Well Kendall, what song are you gonna be singing from our musical?" asked Shelby.
"I'm singing Defying Gravity." smiled Kendall.
"Good luck." smiled Tamara.
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes... and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!
I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
bring me down!
ohh ohhh ohhhh!
"And what is your other song Kendall?" asked Shelby.
"Dancing Through Life." smiled Kendall.
The trouble with schools is
They always try to teach the wrong lesson
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live "the unexamined life"...
Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard?
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can sluff it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through...
Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is faught less
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less
Trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life...
So-what's the most swankified place in town?
That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.
Sounds perfect.
Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it's light
Find the prettiest girl...
Give her a whirl
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on
Follow me
You'll be happy to be there...
Dancing Through Life
Down at the Ozdust...
If only because dust
Is what we come to
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life...
So keep dancing through...
Miss GLINDA, I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right here. Waiting. All night.
Oh-that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder?
See that tragic'ly beautiful girl
The one in the chair
It seems so unfair
We should go on a spree
And not she
Gee-
I know someone would be my hero
If that someone were
To go invite her...
Well maybe, I could invite her?
Oh, Bick, really?
You would do that for me?
I would do anything for you Miss GLINDA.
So...
So I'll be picking you up around eight?
After all-
Now that we've met one another
It's clear we deserve each other
You're perfect...
You're perfect...
So we're perfect together
Born to be forever...
Dancing Through Life...
Oh, Elphaba-Isn't it wonderful?
Fin'lly for this one night
I'm about to have a fun night
With this Munchkin boy
Glinda found for me
And I only wish there were
Something I could do for her
To repay her
Elphaba, see
We deserve each other
And Glinda helped it come true
We deserve each other
Me and Boq -
please, Elphaba, try to understand.
I do...
Glinda, listen. Nessa and I were talking about you just now.
And I was just talking about you. I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!
It's really-uh-sharp
Don't you think?
You know black is this year's pink
You deserve each other
This hat and you
You're both so smart
You deserve each other
So here
Out of the goodness of my heart
Listen, Nessa
Yes?
Uh, Nessa.
I've got something to confess, a
Reason why, well-
Why I asked you here tonight
Now I know it isn't fair...
Oh, Boq. I know why.
You do?
It's because I'm in this chair
And you felt sorry for me
Well isn't that right?
No! no! It's because..uh..because...
Because you are so beautiful
Oh, Boq! I think you're wonderful!
And we deserve each other
Don't you see, this is our chance?
We deserve each other
Don't we, Boq?
You know what?
Let's dance!
What?
Let's Dance!
Dancing Through Life
Down at the Ozdust
If only because dust
Is what we come to
And the strange thing:
You're life could end up changing
While you're dancing
Through!
"Thank you Kendall." nodded Tamara. Kendall nodded and ran off stage.
"Next!" called Shelby. Caroline walked briskly on stage and smiled.
"I'm Caroline." she beamed.
"Okay Caroline what are you singing today?" asked Tamara.
"I'm singing Popular." smiled Caroline.
"Good luck." replied Shelby.
Elphie - now that we're friends, I've decided to
make you my new project.
You really don't have to do that
I know. That's what makes me so nice!
Whenever I see someone
Less fortunate than I
(And let's face it - who isn't
Less fortunate than I?)
My tender heart
Tends to start to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover
I simply have to take over
I know I know exactly what they need
And even in your case
Tho' it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry - I'm determined to succeed
Follow my lead
And yes, indeed
You will be:
Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce
I'll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your hair
Everything that really counts
To be popular
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts
You'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go:
Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to be come a pal, a
Sister and adviser
There's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to popular -
I know about popular
And with an assist from me
To be who you'll bee
Instead of dreary who-you-were: are:
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-
Ler: lar:
La la la la
We're gonna make
You popular
When I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf
To think of
Celebrated heads of state or
Specially great communicators
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!
They were popular! Please -
It's all about popular!
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular
Like me!
Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful.
I - I have to go:
You're welcome!
And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it
Your new found popularity
La la la la
You'll be popular -
Just not as quite as popular
As me!
"And your second song?" asked Tamara.
"Invisible by Taylor Swift."
"Good luck..."
She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile
She'll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by
And you can't see me wantin' you the way you want her
But you are everything to me
I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me
If you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.
There's a fire inside of you
That can't help but shine through
She's never gonna see the light no matter what you do
And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be
Like shadows in a faded light
Oh, we're invisible
I just wanna open your eyes
And make you realize
I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
Baby, let me love you
Let me want you
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
She can't see the way your eyes light up when you smile
"Thank you Caroline." smiled Shelby.
"Next!" yelled Tamara. A brown haired, confident looking girl walked on stage in heels and a designer dress.
"Hello there." smiled Shelby.
"Hello." smiled Una, nodding at the two women.
"What's your name?" asked Tamara.
"Una."
"And what are you going to sing Una?" asked Shelby.
"I'm Not That Girl." replied Una.
"Good luck." nodded Tamara.
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...
"Your second song?" questioned Shelby.
"Next To Me by Emeli Sande." nodded Una.
You won't find him drinking under tables
Rolling dice and staying out 'til three
You won't ever find him be unfaithful
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
You won't find him tryna chase the devil
For money, fame, for power, out of greed
You won't ever find him where the rest go
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me – wooh hooo
Next to me – wooh hooo
Next to me – wooh hooo
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
Cos I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need is a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
Next to me – wooh hooo
Next to me – wooh hooo
Next to me – wooh hooo
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
When the end has come and buildings falling down fast
When we've spoilt the land and dried up all the sea
When everyone has lost their heads around us
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me – wooh hooo
Next to me – wooh hooo
Next to me – wooh hooo
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me – wooh hooo
Next to me – wooh hooo
Next to me – wooh hooo
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
"Thank you Una." nodded Tamara.
"Next!"called Shelby. Rachel walked out, took a deep breath and held the microphone.
"Hello there." smiled Shelby. Rachel grinned up at her mother.
"Miss Berry." smirked Tamara, giving Rachel a knowing wink.
"What are you gonna sing?" asked Shelby, although she already knew the answer.
"For Good." replied Rachel, closing her eyes.
I'm limited.
Just look at me.
I'm limited.
And just look at you.
You can do all I never could.
Glinda...
So now it's up to you,
For both of us.
Now it's up to you.
I've heard it said,
That people come into our lives,
For a reason.
Bringing something we must learn.
And we are lead to those,
Who help us most to grow if we let them.
And we help them in return.
Well I don't know if I believe that's true.
But I know I'm who I am today,
Because I knew you.
Like a comet pulled from orbit,
As it passes a sun.
Like a stream that meets a boulder,
Halfway through the wood.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better,
But because I knew you,
I have been changed for good.
It well maybe,
That we will never meet again,
In this lifetime.
So let me say before we part,
So much of me,
Is made of what I learned from you.
You'll be with me,
Like a handprint on my heart.
And now whatever way our stories end,
I know you'll have rewritten mine,
By being my friend.
Like a ship blown from it's mooring,
By a wind off the sea.
Like a sea dropped by a sky bird,
In a distant wood.
Who can say if I've been changed for the better,
But because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good.
And just to clear the air,
I ask forgiveness,
For the things I've done,
You blamed me for.
But then,
I guess,
We know there's blame to share.
And none of it seems to matter,
Anymore.
Like a comet pulled from orbit
(Like a ship blown from it's mooring,)
As it passes a sun.
(By a wind off the sea.)
Like a stream that meets a boulder,
(Like a sea dropped by bird,)
Halfway through the wood.
(In the wood.)
Who can say if I've been changed for the better.
I do believe I have been changed for the better.
And because I knew you... Because I knew you...
Because I knew you,
I have been changed...
For good.
"And your second song?" asked Tamara.
"On My Own." replied Rachel, going to sing again.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm lonely
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him...
But only on my own...
"Thank you Rachel." smiled Tamara.
"Next!" called Shelby. The afternoon went by, and soon everyone had auditioned. Hours were spent in the staff room, arguing over who should get what role. Eventually, evening came and the decision was made. The list was posted on the lunch room wall...
In Rachel's bedroom, Kendall sat on her bed, reading Teen Vogue while Una sat on hers with her headphones in her ears. Rachel however, paced the floor, thinking. Una pulled her earphones out.
"Can you stop doing that please? It's super annoying." she sighed. Rachel sat on her bed. Kendall closed her magazine and looked sadly at her friend.
"It'll be okay Rach!" she smiled. Una rolled her eyes and went back to her iPod.
"We'll see..." whispered Rachel. Shelby poked her head around the door.
"List is up ladies." she smiled. The 3 girls scrambled for the door. Down in the lunch hall, the crowd around the list was growing and Rachel, Kendall and Una shoved their way through the crowd to the front. Rachel opened her eyes in front of the list: the first thing that was said was that the first meeting was on Monday it was only Saturday so they would have the weekend to them self's so The trios plans would proceed as planned
Galinda: Caroline Idina Baird
Nessarose: Kendall Victoria Shepherd
Boq: Mitchell Morris Langley
Elphaba: Rachel Berry
Maddam Morrible: Caaey O'Neil
Fieroy: Jesse
Witches mother: Mia Santiago
Wizard: Foster Bringham
Ensamble: Una Donnelley, Cassie summers, Jack page, Kelly Lyn, Megan reed and Alison Decker
Rachel did it! She was Elphie! And to make things better both of her friends got the parts they wanted she saw Una's face. Oh. No.
Later that day a lot was going on around the campus for the party that was going to happen word had spread fast around camp that there was going to be a wicked party no pun indented. While Foster was prepping for his party the girls were back in Caroline's room getting ready for their night out in the city.
Fosters party was in full swing before it was even seven there were people everywhere Una was off flirting with some guys with a beer in her hand the music was blaring and they were all having a good time that is until Shelby came ripping through the door.
"EVERYONE IN THE MEETING ROOM NOW" said the very annoyed women she knew that there were bound to be a few small parties but on the one of the first few nights, really did they think that the staff was stupid she just hoped Rachel and her friends weren't in the mix of kids that she was telling the truth when she came and asked Shelby to go walk around times square yesterday because if Rachel was at the party she would be going home she didn't pay a ton of money for Rachel to go to music camp and drink.
