CHAPTER 2….
ACOMPLISHING A DREAM
"Did you see that? Did you see that?" Came a small squeaky boys voice.
"Yes we saw it Blanket." A girls voice said.
"That was awesome! She's really good don't you think? I mean, I can dance better of course."
"Yeah she's good. Why are we even watching this dumb show?"
"Because Blanket saw a preview of someone doing the moonwalk." A more mature boys voice said.
"Well, I thought it would cheer us up. A little." They all looked at him.
"Blanket, your only 7, you won't get this." The girl said.
"I do to Paris!" He said pointing the doll at her.
"Don't point that thing at me!" She slapped it out of his hands. Blanket gasped.
"You slapped dad!"
"That's not dad! It's just some stupid doll!"
"He's very disappointed in you Paris."
"Shut up Blanket! You don't know anything!"
"DO TO!!!"
"What time is it?"
"I don't know but I do know things!"
"Your only 7! What could you know?"
"A LOT!"
"Shut up!"
"You first!"
"How about both of you stop it!" The older boy said. They looked at him. "Your acting like 3 year olds." They looked down.
"Sorry Prince. We're just a little cranky." Paris said.
"What do you have to be cranky about?"
"Uh, hel-lo? Are you in there?"
"What I'm getting at is that your not the one who actually saw him die right before your eyes. I was."
"Prince it wasn't your-"
"You don't know that Paris. Maybe if I had done something different then, he would still be alive." They all looked and sobbed.
************************************
Time after time Katherine won the audience over with her charming attitude and dedication. She would breeze through the songs like they were nothing. Then she finally moon walked her way to the finals.
************************************
It's down to the final 5 people and I'm sweating so bad I feel like I'm going to wet my pants. The Judges look up at us. The contestants are me, TJ and the little Mommas, Those dancing kids, some magician, and a guitar player that's a singer. So I would say this year, kids mostly had talent. Anyways David smiles like there's something he's hiding.
"Do you all know what's going to happen next?" He asks.
"No, not really, I guess, nope." People say. I just stare.
"Well, we asked you, if you could meet any famous person, who would it be?" I'm like so what. Then, I remember about the second season. The season with the stars and how they met up with their fellow fans. I'm like oh god, are you serious? "Well, I would like TJ and the little mommas to step up." They did and group/person to group/person they met up with their models and screamed and cheered. But, my model was dead. So what could they do about that? Bring him to life? I don't think so.
"Katherine, please step up." Piers said. That's weird; he said my actual name and not my stage name. I was scared. Did that mean I was going to be booted out of the competition? I clutched my fist again. I have a pretty bad habit about that. At least it's better than my old one. I used to bite my nails and sometimes I would bite them to hard. Anyways, so I'm like oh crap, now what? "Katherine, we understand that your model suffered a tragic death and well, you can't really meet him. But we wanted to get the closest thing to him." I look up. I'm not getting the boot? Shoo, that's a big relief. But I'm still wondering what he's going to do. "So, please come out Jackson 5!" WHAT!! Jackson 5? Did he say Jackson 5?
"OH MY GOD!!!! It's really them, it's really them!" I say. I'm jumping up and down and practically falling all over the place. They're just walking up to me, as I'm astonished.
"How are you doing?" Jermaine asks.
"Good, ok, great, Oh my god it's you!" I can't get my brain straight and I'm like embarrassing myself. "I know all of your names! Tito, Jermaine, Jackie, Marlin, and Randy!" Ugh! I'm so stupid! I'm just embarrassing myself more acting like a total fan girl. I only know a few of their songs. And now I'm dressed up like their brother and I'm a girl. You know how embarrassing that was?
"But we're not finished yet!" Piers yelled.
"What?" Oh crap, I'm probably going to make myself look like a bigger fool.
"Yes, come out Janet Jackson!"
"OMG!!" I say as she walks out. Really, the only song I know from her is Together again. But she's still cool.
"Hello." She says.
"HI!" I'm cooler around her.
"Still not finished!" Sharon says. Omg, what more is there? "Come out USA for Africa!" Now I'm about ready to explode when I see that huge group of famous people. They're all like people in the world I always wanted to meet. Even Paul McCartney.
"WOW!! OH MY GOD!!!" Now there's the second strike of not being sane. One more strike and I'm just blown.
"Still not done!" David says.
"How much more is there?!" I ask still being an insane fan girl.
"Only one more, but come out-" He pauses and I'm just waiting with anxiety. "Prince, Paris, and Blanket Jackson!"
"OH MY GOD!" Oh, there goes the third strike. But I'm like, what the crap, they're not performers. But I don't care, I always wanted to meet Prince to the fact that he's my age. They come walking out and I'm about ready to faint. "No way!"
"Hi there." They say.
"Hi." Blanket's so adorable. He's 7 you know. So they tell me I have to perform 1 different song with each group/person. I'm freaking out but I do it. Finally it's me and the Jackson 3 as I like to call them. We sing and dance and they can't believe I can do the moonwalk too. Finally it's the results of who won.
"I would like these two people to step up." David says. I'm hoping he doesn't say my name. "TJ and the little mommas and Feminine MJ." Crap. I'm done for now. "You two are our" He stops. Say it already man! Say that we lost and get it through with. "Finalist!" Say what? We are the top two? AWSOME! I feel so relieved.
"And the winner of these two are" Drum roll. My heart stops for a split second. "Feminine MJ!"
"YES! I WON THANK GOD THANK YOU!" I cheer and everybody in front and behind me cheers on too. I won, I won.
After the whole thing is over and I get a million bucks and I'm psyched about Vegas, Jermaine comes up to me.
"Hey!" He says.
"Oh, hi!" I reply.
"I just wanted to let you know, if you ever wanted to come see my brothers body, just give me a call." He hands me a card and I take it.
"Thanks." He smiles and turns around to walk away. Prince comes up to me. "Hi." I say. Definitely blushing. God I'm an idiot!
"I just wanted to congratulate you on your success. I bet you'll be a great impersonator."
"Thanks." We smile.
"Uh, hey, I just wanted to know if you would like to hang out sometime. Like me and you."
"By ourselves?"
"Sure." I blushed. Maybe I wasn't such an idiot.
"Like a date?" He blushed then.
"Yeah. Like a date." I looked away.
"Ok." We smile as he walks away. I look up to see Jermaine getting into a car. "HEY JERMAINE! About that offer."
