Chapter 3 :D

I woke up early the next morning. I was restless all night for some unknown reason and currently I was as cranky as a girl on PMS overdrive. I stumbled over some junk lying on my bedroom floor and cursed as I went to take a shower. I arrived to work on time, shocking the whole staff. Yeah I know…I'm not late. The last time when I was early was…never. Okay so maybe it was a big deal. I changed into my knee length skirt and blouse, and set off to work. For a Tuesday, it was quite busy, with hoards of customers.
"What's with the stampede?" I asked my co-worker Megan.
"Apparently, that famous actor Zala is here," she replied putting her plates down.
"Zala," I said pondering for a moment, trying to recall the name.
She laughed and said, "Only you wouldn't know who he is."
I shrugged and said, "Can't help it, I have better things to have knowledge about."
"Well, I'm sure after you get one look at him, he'll stick in your mind," she said
"I'm sure," I said sarcastically rolling my eyes. Now I was really curious to know at least what he looked like so I charged up to where he was sitting.
Until...
"Cagalli go attend to table D-6," my manage replied
"Got it," I replied. I went out quickly, climbed down three flights of stairs and saw two men there. I welcomed them with the same motto.
"So what would you two like this afternoon," I said with a smiled
"What would you recommend?" the dark haired male asked.
I smirked and said, "The frog legs."
The guy made a face and said, "Are you French?"
"Very," I replied.
"I think French women are hot," he said taking a look.
"And I think businessmen are slugs," I said sweetly, "Now what would you like to eat?"
The other guy laughed and said, "You're a hopeless cause. She's pure American."
"And I've never tried frog legs," I said, "And if you actually looked at the menu, you'd notice that we don't serve frog legs either.
I flipped his menu to the back and said, "Here's the recommended, chose one, any one."
"Alright darling," he said telling his choice, "With a side order of you would be nice."
I laughed, mentally rolling my eyes and said, "And what would you like sir?"
He told his order and I nodded and said, "I'll be right back with your food."
"Come soon," the other guy replied with a grin and I just shook my head.
"Oh, don't tell me you got hit on again," Judy asked seeing my pissed off face after I told the cooks the order.
"I would punch him in the face, but the Wicky Bitch and the South gave me my last warning about physically abusing the customers, or else I'd be fired." I said
"Poor you," she said, "I would have loved to get a piece of him."
"More like a meal," I said
"Anyways did you get a look at Zala in the private section?" she asked
"I don't really care," I said looking at the time, noticing I still had a few hours to burn before my shift was over.
"Your loss, you really need a boyfriend Cagalli," she said patting my shoulder.
"Ugh, I'm done with the male species," I said fisting my hands, "They're such pigs."
With that I turned and went to get my order and started serving the tables. I didn't bother replying to any comments made by Mr. Pervert and left to go take the order of another table. Somehow I managed to finish off my shift without any disasters happening whatsoever. I changed back into some jeans, a tank and a sweater and went to my car taking a trip to Las Vegas. I took out my appointment card from my bag, when I parked at the huge studio and looked at the huge line and mentally cried. I decided to ask the guy at the front about lining up if I had an appointment.
"Who gave this to you?" he asked with huge eyes.
"Umm…what was his name…Yzak…Ju-" I started, "You know that guy who owns a club."
"Yzak Jules?" he asked
"Yes that's the one, with the weird straight platinum blonde hair," I said nodding.
"I like you," he said laughing, "Just head on in, take a right in the hallway, it'll be the second door on the left."
"Got it Mr.…?" I asked
"People call me Sam," he said, "Now go fast, or you might be late. Tell me how it goes."
"Okay," I said rushing in and turned at the hallway and stumbled into the room.
"I have never seen so much crappy dancing in one day," a guy said his head on the table in defeat.
"You're so overdramatic, I'm surprised you didn't go into acting," a lady said.
"Yeah I love you too," he grumbled, "So who's next?"
"That would be me," I said coming in.
"And who would you be?" another male said coming out.
"Cagalli," I replied, "I have an appointment."
"How the hell did you get an appointment?" Mr. Pissed asked
Great what was his name again, "Yzak…Jules."
"Yzak," Mr. Pissed said a bit surprised, "How strange."
I shrugged and said, "So would you like me to start?"
The three sat down and I took off my shoes and sock and stretched a bit, loosening my muscles from work. I wasn't really interested in this gig at all, but I promised Shiho so I came. I walked in front of them where there was a white screen behind me.
"Can I ask question?" I said
"Sure," the lady asked
"You guys aren't going to make me dance to 'slutty' music right?" I asked.
They all grinned and said, "No."
I smiled and said, "Then I can manage."
"I think I like her already," Mr. Pissed said, playing the music. Instantly, my body took charge and I moved to the melody. My mind seemed to shut down and the only I could sense was the music, the beat in my blood. It filled my senses and I responded, nothing more. My feet made no sound when they touched the ground, and the next thing I knew the music stopped and I stood still blinking.
"What happened?" I asked looking up at their faces.
Mr. Pissed's mouth was hanging open. The lady had an impressed look and the other guy yelled out, "FINALLY!"
I looked at them strangely.
"That means you're in," the lady said.
"Aww really," I said, "But I was hoping I did a crappy job."
She laughed and said, "Where did you learn you're dancing Cagalli?"
I shrugged and said, "I don't know. I took ballet when I was small and it just progressed from there. I had a studio earlier, where I choreographed shows, but I guess dancing is just in me."
"Well that talent is extraordinary," she said, "It would be an honor to have to dance for the movie, but it's clear that you belong somewhere else."
I shrugged and said, "I make do with what I have."
"Anyways, I'd like to make you the lead dancer, and if I can pull some string, you might just be the choreographer as well," she said
"WOW!" Mr. Pissed said, "That was amazing!"
"Slow much Mr. Pissed?" I said,
The other two started laughing their heads off struggling to breathe.
"Mr. Pissed," the other guy said wiping his tear, "That was precious."
"Oops," I said flushing a bit, "I didn't know his name…so uhh yeah, sorry."
Mr. Pissed rolled his eyes and said, "Its okay, the name's Jeff, the lady on the right is Murrue and, the other guy's Alan."
"Nice to meet you all," I said, "So how many dancers have you all found so far?"
"You're number five actually," Alan said, "and so far you make them look like young ballet students."
I smiled and said, "Well lucky me."
"Anyways Yzak sure knows how to pick them," Murrue said, "I'll need your number Cagalli and tell you when there's practice. So where do you live?"
"Nevada," I said.
"Yeah the movie was shooting a bit there today," Murrue said, "Good nice and close."
"I bet you she's already scheming about getting you to move here," Jeff said
"Okay," I said stretching, "I better head home." I gave her my number and headed out the door feeling very tired. What happened to me in there? I didn't even remember what I danced.
I shook my head and went to the front, where Sam rushed up to me and said, "So how did it go?"
I shrugged and said, "I got in."
"I knew it," he said, "Congrats; we finally get a pretty lady at work."
I laughed and said, "Lucky you, well I guess I'll be seeing you, bye."
He said the same and I hurried to my car and went home. Shiho was pacing around the living room with Yzak sitting on the couch.
"What if she didn't make it?" Shiho said, "I swear I'd go up to those people and start a riot."
"Don't worry, they'd be crazy not to pick her Shiho," Yzak said pulling her down onto his lap.
"Yeah," I said coming in with a yawn.
"Ahh Cagalli," Shiho said getting off Yzak's lap and help my hands, "Did you get in?"
"Here before you, stands Dancer number 5 for…whatever movie they are making," I said
She hugged me in happiness and said, "That's SOO great."
"I guess," I said glumly, "Even the lady said, that I belonged somewhere else."
Shiho nodded and said, "I know you do, but this is only a start."
"If you say so," I said, "I'm going to head to bed, I'm exhausted."
"Good night," she said, "I'm heading out with Yzak."
I nodded and said went to my room and slumped onto the bed. I took off my sweater and took off my pants and wore some pajama bottoms. Changing out of my shirt, I lay on my bed and soon exhaustion brought me to sleep.
It wasn't until Friday when I received a call from Murrue, I was working at that time, and currently taking an order.
"Oops…that wasn't supposed to happen," I said finishing their order and quickly took the call.
"What!" I hissed into the call, "You know you can't call a person when their working."
Murrue laughed and said, "I'm so sorry, Cagalli."
"Yeah, we'll I'll forgive you this once," I said, "So what did you want?"
"Well Cagalli, I need to meet with you on Monday, privately about the script and to discuss choreography," she said
"I seriously thought you meant that as a joke," I said
"I meant it, and you'll be fully credited," she said, "If it all works out."
"I guess," I said, "So Monday, where?"
"The coffee shop in front of the building," she said, "What time's good for you?"
"Well I work till six, on Mondays and Wednesday, and to 3 the rest of the days," I said
"Ahh okay then 7 good for you?" she asked
"Yes that's fine," I said
"Okay I'll see you then, I think you had an order to give," she said
"Shit," I cursed hanging up and quickly serving the couple apologizing.
I finished my shift and took a break and went to the park for a change. I lay on the soft green grass under a tree. Soon I felt my eyes droop and took a nap. I woke up to drops of water falling on my face. I sat up and looked around the empty park, the dark clouded sky and rain falling. A few moments later I heard a rumble come from the sky and quickly got to and rushed to my car. I looked around my pocket for my keys and took them out. In my car, a moment later I rushed back home just as the rain fell harder.
"Just my luck," I grumbled, "I'm almost out of gas."
I drove to the nearest gas station. I came out putting on my hood and soaked to the bone as my car was drinking greedily from the hose. A black SUV parked beside me and a guy came out, in all black get up and filled his vehicle. I saw a gun in his pocket.
'Must be a bodyguard,' I thought.
A flash of lightening passed and I jumped a little
"It's just thunder Cagalli, it won't kill you," I muttered loudly gripping the hose tightly, shutting my eyes hearing the thunder rumble and shook a bit. As my car drank the gas, I looked into the glass of the SUV and for some reason I couldn't look away.
My car was finally full and I went inside to pay up. I let out a sigh of relief as my hood fell off.
'Essh! If gas prices keep up like this, I'll go bankrupt,' I thought sadly
I shivered slightly as I went back outside, jumping a meter high at the thunder and literally ran to my car and jumped inside zooming quickly home.
Monday came soon enough. Work was pleasant, quiet and tranquil…I wasn't hit on by any males whatsoever. The coffee shop, where I met Murrue was nice and homey; I ordered a cup as Murrue came in with a smile.
"Sorry I'm late, that Meer obstructed my passage," she said.
"Meer?" I questioned
"She's one the dancer," she replied.
I nodded and said, "So what did you want to talk about?"
"Well Cagalli, first of all I need to know your schedule for practice, and the actual shots," she said, "When are you going to have the time to choreograph this?"
"Murrue," I said, "I don't even know what this movie's about."
"Oh right," she said, "Well here's the music and the script."
She passed a file and I looked through the script and read the lyric. The face I made clearly expressed my opinion.
"You have got to be kidding me," I said with a smile, "Oh I'm going to have so much fun with this."
"What's with the other DVD's?" I asked
"There the auditions shots of the other dancer, it'll help you plan their moves. Oh by the ways the lead actors are part of this, I forgot to tell you," she said
"Alright," I said, "When do you want all this by?"
"When can you have it for me?" she asked
"A week," I said, "And I thought you would come with a challenge Murrue."
"I'm starting off small, if you can pull this off; you'll be in my books," she said.
"I see most of these scenes are with Zala," I said, "Sheesh Yzak wasn't joking."
"What's wrong with Athrun?" she asked
"Oh right that's his first name," I said at first confused, "Nothing…he just sounds like a…rich actor."
"Well he is a rich actor," she said
I grumbled and said, "I hate rich actors."
She laughed and said, "He's a good guy Cagalli, for one he does not do any sex scenes and mostly does films with a meaning behind it."
"Ohh what a shame for his fans," I said rolling my eyes.
"You'll like him trust me," she said
"Ha!" I said, "When pigs fly."
"You must admit though, he's an eyesore," she said
I smiled and said, "Well I must be lucky because I've never seen him before in my life."
She actually looked impressed and said, "Have you been living in a box?"
"No," I said, "Just a black hole."
She laughed and said, "Anyways you have to include Mr. Zala in the dance as well."
"Oh gasp, he dances as well," I said.
"Very well might I add, he's about as good as you…bit less, but good nonetheless," she replied
"Sure," I said, "I'm going to head back home, and see you next week."
"Hey Cagalli!" she yelled out behind, "If you need a place to practice, you can come here and use room 213."
"Okay, thank you, bye," I said
OKay that was chapter three :)

But a preview to Chapter 4 :D
"Where is Mr. Pissed?" I asked, "The bastard woke me up. I was making up three days worth of sleep this morning."
"Mr. Pissed fled the scene," Alan said on the side of the room, "What were you doing up for three days?"
"Damnation!" I said loudly, "The world is so unfair," slouching into my seat. I realized that there was already a person upon it, and jumped off the chair.
"Now there's a person in my seat too!" I said looking and Murrue with a sigh. I looked at the person on the seat and said, "You are officially in my bad books buddy."
The said person looked up and my heart skipped a beat as I met emerald eyes. I stared for the longest time just lost in those green orbs. I blinked recomposing myself and said, "Rich actor."
The person blinked. Twice. He shook his head and said, "What?" incredulously.
lol hahaha i can't wait for the next chapter :)
Thank you for reading and reviewing my stories :)
Lots of Love :)
