Emma: Well, I'm sure you all expected Liv to finish this up- since it was both her idea and mainly her project -but I'm gonna go ahead and finish this one. I won't spoil anything, and or rant, so without further ado, here is our last chapter of Mr. Right Camp Dramatization!
Chapter 4: Holding Out For A Hero
"Why do I feel like if we don't do something this last try-out will be a disaster, or a cat fight?" Joy asked from her perch on the edge of the pool. Rachel was doing laps while her Goth friend took down the time." I mean AJ was about to ream your sister after yesterday's performance… And Little Becca was about to stab her with a fork- not to sound like Jhon or anything but she is his 'little sister'."
"I wasn't a fan of the performance," Rachel admitted getting out of the cool water to dry off." What was the time for that last lap?"
"Two thirteen."
"Sweet," Rachel said with a grin," And Kori was about to kill Ness over the way she was acting and dancing on Richie… Maybe we should intervene?"
"Got any ideas?" Joy asked offering the girl a towel. Rachel thought for a minute, trying to think about what she could do to make this work out. She heard her phone go off with the ring tone she kept at all times for AJ- Sister Sledge "We Are Family" -and snapped her fingers in realization." Joy, I think I know what we're gonna do today!"
"Why do I suddenly feel like the British Ferb to your Phineus, dear Rachel?" Joy asked in a deadpan manner. Rachel ignored her remark and shot off towards the theatre where everyone was waiting.

"I know it isn't my turn," Rachel said batting her eyelashes at the boy onstage. He swallowed nervously and gave a love struck smile." But my friend and I really, really, really want to sing a song for our friends! Think you could," Rachel traced her fingertips up the boy's arm," Just skip a few people?"
"S-sure!" The boy said. Joy rolled her eyes, and allowed the Roth girl to yank her onstage. Rachel waved to Vic in the sound booth, who gave the girls a thumbs up and a smile. The familiar music began just as Kori, Becca, Nessa, and AJ entered the room. Rachel began to sing:
"We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing!"
Joy gave an eye roll and folded her arms, but offered a smile when Rachel spun her friend in a perfect pirouette. She began to sing along with the Roth:
"Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose!"
Though Joy rarely sang, her voice was low and full of the jazz in this song. She smiled and gave another twirl as she and Rachel began to sing together:
"We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing!"
Joy and Rachel each yanked a friend up onstage, until all four girls that had before been fighting, were now onstage as well. The girls all had tears in their eyes and were trying to pull as close into a group hug as possible. They all sang:
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing
Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights
(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
(WE!) no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing
As the ending notes played, all the girls fell into a fit of giggles, even Joy. AJ wiped at her eyes and hugged her sister extra tight, then gave Rachel the same treatment.
"We really were acting like bloody twits weren't we?" AJ asked.
"Worse," Joy and Rachel said together. The girls laughed again as the doors to the theatre opened to show Brushogun as well as a few faces that were all too familiar.
"What did we miss?" The boys asked. Gar, Richie, Aaron, Roy, Garth, and Jhon were staring at their girlfriends who were all crying and laughing together onstage.
"Who the hell forgot to tell me to avoid the Brady Bunch scene?" Jhon grumbled. The girls laughed and Brushogun stared at them in curiosity.
"Well girls, we still have a few more minutes for try outs…" Brushogun said attempting to stay on topic." Have you all decided on songs?"
Nessa looked at AJ, who glanced up at Kori, who glanced down at Becca, who glanced at Rachel and Joy who had scurried up to the sound booth again. They all gave matching evil grins and nodded at Vic.
"Here's a song Brushogun!" Nessa cried.
"And you can shove it up your bloody arse!" AJ added sticking her tongue out at the man. Together, the girls began to sing along with the slow and sultry tune:
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like a fire in my blood
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
The girls all had fun with this song; where the other songs they had sang had been purely competition, this song was all fun and the joy of singing that the girls always knew. They laughed and had fun dancing to the music with this song, and winking at their designated boy in the audience. The boys were laughing at the show that their girls were creating, and the look on Brushogun's face. As the song came to a close, the girls all linked arms and walked offstage.
"I'm afraid this means all of you are resigning from the play," Brushogun said to the group. Nessa gave AJ a look, but before the dynamic duo could open their mouths, Becca gave a scowl and stepped up to the man.
"Listen here bub!" Becca growled," You and this silly competition have turned my family against each other! And let's not forget the part where you yourself only add to this stupid, dumb…. Glorified cat fight! So you can take your play, and your try outs, and your damn ideas, and shove them up your ass, along with the stick that's stuck there!"
The room fell silent as Becca fell back on flat foot and Brushogun fell back into a theatre seat. Then the room burst into applause and Becca was scooped up into a kiss by Roy. She was breathless when he pulled his lips from hers and the entire room was clapping and applauding Becca.
"Damn I didn't realize how hot you could be until this moment," Roy teased the small, blushing, girl. The group walked out together all arms linked, and laughs melding into one sound.

"Hey! Becks! AJ! Nessa! Kori!" Nicole cried. The small girl was rushing over to the lakeside where the girls were all sitting and laughing over old pictures. They looked up at the small girl and each gave a confused look." You guys have to see the cast list!"
The girls crowded around the list that Nicole offered them and all gave a collective gasp. The play chosen was Wicked, and all the girls had been cast. Becca was playing Madame Morrible, Kori was playing Nessarose, AJ had gotten Galinda, and Nessa had gotten Elphaba. They all stared at on another and then back at the paper.
"Brushogun said he liked how you guys stood up to him," Nicole giggled," And that he couldn't pass up such great voices! I guess being yourself for once, was a great thing!"
The girls all exchanged another look and then fell into a fit of laughter. The summer had suddenly become fun again.
