The Begining
RuPaul
Vince / Kraftwerk Orange
Friendship
Neon and Ultra almost walked out once they saw the size of the theatre, and they almost passed out once they remembered they were going to be on television! Can Vince get them to do it?
"Oh my God!" Ultra breathed in a paper bag, while Neon paced.
"Vince, we can't do this!"
"Of course you can!"
"Oh really," asked Ultra, ripping the bag from her face. "How exactly do you suppose we do that?"
"You go up there and play Boys like you never have before!"
"Vince."
"What?"
Ultra pointed over her shoulder. "I think Neon just fainted."
He looked over, and sure enough, she was on the ground. "Fuck."
"Vince, let's just call it off."
"No, there's no way. You've gone too far to quit now!" He sighed, taking her hand. "'Boys' is the first song on the album, right?"
"Yeah."
"Just pretend you've put on the record. Take it nice and easy. The beginning of a record you like, that's not that hard, right?"
"I suppose not."
"Just hold on until tomorrow. The concert will last until about eleven, and the after party... who knows. Hold on until tomorrow, Ultra! Just shake it off, turn around, because it won't be long until it's a brand new day!"
"Vince, I'm so scared!"
"This is the beginning of the rest of your life. Don't you think you better get it right, instead of putting it off? You guys used to be fearless!"
"That was then, this is now!
"Well here we go, starting over!"
"You decide, Vince!
"Don't change your mind once I've made mine."
"I won't!"
"Miracles happen every day, Ultra, and this is one of them! This is the beginning of the rest of your life."
"I still don't know, Vince."
"I do. You can change the world, change your mind!"
"Change my mind?"
"Yep. Once you've gone up there, you'll always believe you can."
"Vince..."
"Ultra, listen. You two defy space and time. There's no way you can screw up."
Ultra was silent for a moment. "Thanks, Vince. I guess this truly is the beginning of the rest of my life." She hugged him, out of nowhere. "Wish us luck."
"You don't need luck, you have talent."
"Thanks." She kissed him on both cheeks, and woke Neon up.
