Chapter 10

Everyone was in the dressing room getting ready for the live that was about to starts in an hour.

Nobody was talking. You could have sense that they were nervous just by entering the room.

Ronny sighed "Came on guys! We've been trough worse things just to get here! Look at me: it's the first time I wear a dress, a good one actually, and I'm the first one that have to sing. So if anyone have to be nervous, that's me!" she finished by sitting on the couch.

Than Wes spoke "She's right you know. Look at Z: even her is calm. She doesn't even kill you with a glare…"

In that exact moment, a newspaper flew across the room and hit Wes's head "Ouch!"

Everyone laughed at that. "I guess that is her was to show how good she is!" said Madison trough her laugh.

They suddenly heard a voice calling for them on the stage. That was their moment. From now, they could only count on the Americans votes.

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

While they were walking to the stage, Bridge was stopped by Sky "don't worry. You maybe be the last to sing tonight, but you know what they say? –we save the best 'till last!-"

Bridge smiled as the man walked away. He started walking but stopped suddenly.

Tyzonne was looking at him very mad. The boy frightened at his look, but he kept on walking fast to avoid the man.

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

The studio was dark. Just a small light was on and it showed Ryan Seacrest on stage.

In the moment he started talking, a video of the auditions started playing on the screen behind him "This year we saw thousands people who want to be at the top. Who want to be on this Stage. But only twelve of them made it"

The lights of the studio turned on revealing the twelve contestants near him. The crowd cheered madly.

Than Ryan continued "Who will win this year? You're the only one who decides that. This is American Idol!"

With that, the main theme of the show started. As the images of the previous idol, Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks and David Cook, were showed, every contestant thought the same thing

"I will be the next American Idol…."

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

Ryan then entered the stage with a bright smile, cheered by the crowd "Hello everyone! Welcome to a new fantastic season of American Idol!"

He looked around at the crowd and saw many banners for the contestants, most of them for Sky "I can see who are here for by your banners"

As the Sky's fan clubs got up and started jumping he kept going on "This year we got 12 amazing people who want to be the next American Idol. But you know that only you from home can decide who will be. And, as always, you will be helped by our three fantastic judges! Say hi to Randy Jackson!"

The crowd erupted in cheers as the big man gave them the peace sign with his hand.

"The lovely Paula Abdul!" the woman smiled happily to be there and waved her hand to the crowd

"And the always-young Simon Cowell!" at that, all the people in the crowd stood up givin him a standing ovation.

"Wow Simon! You never got that in the past 7 years! It's incredible!" Ryan laughed at that, while Simon faked a laugh at the man.

"So. The fist theme is –Movie Soundtracks-. We will listen to twelve amazing songs tonight. Let's begin! The fist one is Veronica"

A video started with Ronny presenting herself "I'm Veronica Robinson, Ronny for everyone, I'm 20 years old and I'm a babysitter"

Images of Ronny with two babies came on the screen "I've done this work even when I still was at school and it's amazing. But everyone knows that my big dream is become a famous singer known all around the World. I'm a little nervous for tonight because:

1 I have to sing in front of thousands of people

2 I have to wear a dress

So watch out America! Here comes Ronny in a dress…"

The video stopped and the camera focused again on Ryan "Will the pressure of singing first will be a problem for her or not? Let's find out! With –Take my Breath Away- from Top Gun, here's Ronny"

The crown cheered at the view of the gorgeous girl in a gold long dress in the middle of the Stage. When the fists few notes of the song ended, Ronny took the microphone stand in front of her and started singing

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid

She then took the microphone in her hand and walked to the limit of the stage to end her song

Take my breath away You Take my breath away

The backup singer helped her for a moment, and then she ended holding the song on the last note

You Take my breath away

The band finished with some beat on the drums. After that the crowd clapped its hands happily and a few banner come to the view of Ronny, making the girl smiling at what they were saying.

Randy nodded "Ronny listen. That was good. I didn't like the end because you made it strange in a way, but it was good"

The crowd bowed but Ronny nodded happily. That was a starts.

Paula was next "First of all, you look amazing. Second, you pick one of my favorite songs of all the time and you made it sound amazing. Very good job"

"thanks Paula!" Ronny said with a big smile.

Then she turned to Simon and the man sighed "Right. It was good at the beginning, 'till you made it as Jessica Simpson did. And so it become just a karaoke exhibition"

The crowd bowed again. Then Ryan approached Ronny "Just for the record, I've loved it very much!"

"Thank you Ryan" said Ronny smiling at the man.

"If you want to vote for Ronny these are the numbers you have to call. We take a little break and when we can back, Tyzonne and Adele will make sure to win some votes from you!"

The camera focused on one side of the stage, where Ty and Adele smiled and waved at the camera.

And then, the commercials started.

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

OK! Ronny has done her job and had some good comments. Just for the record, I love Jessica Simpson, but I know that Simon doesn't so I had to make it look bad.

How will the show continued? Stay tune to find out!
