Behind the curtain of the stage, many girls were rushing around in costumes and putting on makeup. The young woman named Candace peeked out through a hole in the curtain and gasped at the large amount of people out there,

'Oh gosh, what a crowd.'

One of the other showgirls named Stacy grinned at her, "Are you nervous?

Candace shrugged slightly, "Just a bit…"

Stacy shook her head, "Kid, look who you are! You're a major star!'

Another showgirl named Jenny walked over and nodded,

"You're already a hit."

Candace sighed and spoke to herself, "Wonder what he'll think…"

Stacy looked up from powdering her cheeks, "The boss?"

Candace sighed, "If he's even here…"

Stacy rolled her eyes, "Honey please… He's here."

Jenny smiled, "And in just two days, he'll be there tossing you bouquets at our gala premiere! Picture it…"

Stacy waved her hands in the air, "The cream of Manhattan!"

Jenny sighed dreamily, "Celebrities! Millionaires!"

Stacy pointed to Candace, "Watching you!"

Candace smiled and began singing,

'I'll be waiting in the wing, wound up tighter than a spring, as the house begins to dim.
And I'll practice every line, hoping desperately to shine.
Shining only for him…'

Stacy and Jenny joined in,'Just imagine how they'll cheer, at the moment you appear.'

Candace twirled around,

'Stepping out before the scrim!
Let them whoop and let them call,
I won't hear the crowd at all…'

Stacy and Jenny glanced at each other, 'No, it's only for him…'

Candace suddenly gasped and looked at her two friends, "Tell me how I look.

Jenny smiled, "Fine."

Candace looked worried, "Just fine? What about my hair?"

Stacy spread her arms, "Beautiful!"

Candace raised an eyebrow, "Your swear?"

Stacy nodded, "Trust me, once the boss sees how you put that song across…"

Jenny chuckled, "Hell, he ain't got a prayer!"

Candace smiled hopefully, "You mean it?"

Stacy and Jenny smiled wide and began singing,

'You'll step out into the light.
Looking lovely! Burning bright!
All vitality and vim!'

Candace smiled to herself and began singing,

'Ah-Ahh!
And I'll rapturously float through the melody he wrote,
singing only for him!'

Stacy and Jenny pushed Candace forward,

'And before the music dies, up the audience will rise,
nearly bursting at the brim! And you'll stand there in the glow…'

Candace sighed and finished off wishfully, 'And perhaps, at last he'll know…'

Stacy gasped, "Girls! Hurry up! We're on!"

Back outside, the gates to Phantasma swung open and let the crowds in. Everyone looked around in awe as the three girls behind the stage. The crowd was becoming restless as they looked around the area.

One onlooker spoke, "Where is she?"

Another onlooker gasped as the curtain on the stage opened up, "Look! There! In the center!"

Someone else spoke out, "Just like in the posters!"

People rushed over to the stage and called out, "It's the Ooh La La Girl! Candace!"

Candace spread her arms out wide, 'Welcome each and everyone to our firmament of fun!'

Stacy and Jenny dance and sang behind her, 'A buffet of Ballyhoo!'

Then all three of them sang, 'It's where Coney comes to play and it's opening today!'

Candace winked at a random person, 'And it's only for you!'

Stacy waved at another, 'And you!'

Jenny pointed at another person, 'And you!'

All three of them began to sing again, 'And you! Entertainment day and night, sure to dazzle and delight!'

Meg waved shyly, 'And of course we'll be there too!'

Stacy and Jenny waved flirty at the men, 'Yoo hoo!'

All three of them began to sing once more, 'We're so happy that you're here, for the season's big premiere! And it's only for you!'

Candace curtsied to the cheering crowd and darted off the stage. Stacy and Jenny continued to dance and show off to the delighted crowd.

Backstage Candace watched as her friends ended their number and the crowd burst into more cheers. He friends ran off to the other side of the stage, and one of the freaks named Carl hobbled out on stage. He bowed and started declaring loudly,

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Candace Giry, the Ooh La La Girl! Five shows daily, only here at Phantasma. And now the aerial exoticism of the fabulous Miss Vanessa! Half bird, half woman, all for only 10 cents a ticket…"

Candace spotted her mother and darted over to her excitedly, "How was I? Tell me?"

Linda chuckled, "Delightful, Candace just perfect. And I say that not only as your mother… but as your producer, as well."

Candace clasped her hands together, "Was he watching?"

Linda smiled, "I'm sure he was. I'm sure he'll have much to say about how much you've progressed." Linda paused and changed the subject, "Uh… by the way, it seems you have an admirer. A certain Mr. Jeremy…"

Candace frowned as she walked away with her mother, "Is he important?"

To answer that, not he's not important. :P lol...

Thanks for reading. Review?
