(Talent Show Auditions)
*November 14th, 1941*
*10:52am*
*Highlands High School*
Allison, Carrie, and Russell were excited for the upcoming auditions as they awaited for further instructions from Principal Sheldon who was standing on the audition stage.
"Alright! Now the rules for the auditions are simple, you must tell us about yourself, what you plan on showing and you must showcase it as well, is that clear?" Principal Sheldon had explained to everyone as he was met with Allison, Russell, Carrie and the other students nodding their heads in agreement which made the man smile.
"Wonderful, and let's see…could we have Wanda come up on the stage!" Principal Sheldon had spoken out once more as he saw Wanda smiling warmly back at him as she quickly got up from her seat and made her way to the audition stage as she was handed the microphone from Principal Sheldon.
"Good Morning, my name is Wanda and I'm participating in the talent show to showcase my wonderful dancing skills and as for me, I'm a huge fan of sports, friends, and just fun!" Wanda had spoken out in a cheerful tone of voice as she was met with applause from everyone in the room.
"Wow, I didn't know Wanda was such a good dancer so I'm pretty excited to see how well she does" Allison had spoken out to his friends in a tone of curiosity as this was met with Russell and Carrie nodding their heads in agreement.
"I'm with you, I always thought she was a more sporty person but I guess I was wrong although I'm still excited to see her dance" Russell had spoken back to Allison in agreement while Carrie nodded her head in support as well.
"I agree as well, I know she and Anya would sometimes butt heads when it comes to sports due to Joseph but it also goes to show that people can be multi talented" Carrie had chimed into the conversation as well as she and the others focused their attention back on Wanda as she was just finish talking about herself.
"So, I'm now gonna show a little bit of my dancing and I hope y'all don't mind" Wanda had spoken out as she had gently placed the microphone on the holder and suddenly, there was jazzy music that started to play.
"Alright, here goes nothing!" Wanda had spoken out once more as she began to dance to the music with such intensity yet a hint of beauty to it as this captured everyone's attention.
"Wooow, Wanda is such a good dancer! I bet she's been practicing before auditions" Allison had thought to himself in awestruck as he continued to watch Wanda dancing for a few more minutes until the music had come to a close.
"And that's all folks…" Wanda had spoken out in between breaths as it was clear she was exhausted from the dance and with that, the small audience erupted in applause and cheers which made the girl smile.
"That was amazing! You did great!" Carrie had cried out to Wanda in a tone of joy while continuing to show support for her fellow schoolmate while Allison and Russell followed suit.
"I agree, Wanda did wonderful! I won't even mind if she wins the talent show.." Allison had spoken out in full support as she had seen Wanda waving at the crowd as she had quickly ran back to her seat with satisfaction in her eyes which made him smile.
"Alright! Alright! That was a very wonderful audition from Wanda and we're gonna give her a score that determines if she passes the audition and it's simple, either yell out pass or fail, okay? Now, did Wanda pass or fail…" Principal Sheldon had spoken out to the audience with such joy in his voice while expanding his hand with the microphone towards the direction of the audience.
"PASS!" The crowd had cried out in joy as this indicated that Wanda had finally made it to the talent show; however, there were still a few more students to go with Russell being the next one to go.
"Alright, the next person is Russell!" Principal Sheldon had spoken out with such enthusiasm as cheers began to erupt from the audience with the loudest ones coming from Allison and Carrie.
"You're up! Good luck and remember to take deep breaths before going up, okay?" Allison had advised his friend in an excited tone of voice while Carrie nodded her head in agreement.
"I wish you good luck as well and go get 'em, tiger!" Carrie had spoken to Russell as well as the advice from both of his friends made him smile.
"Thanks! I'll do my best and if I fail then I fail but if I pass then that would be wonderful" Russell had spoken back to his friends before walking over towards the audition stage with a very confident look on his face as he had picked up the microphone while Principal Sheldon was watching him.
"Alright, let's see what Russell has to bring on the table, I know he, Allison, and Carrie will definitely bring something special.." Principal Sheldon had thought to himself as he let out a smile while giving Russell a thumbs up signaling that he could speak and the boy did just that.
"Hello, my name is Russell and I'm here to audition for the talent show annnd…" Russell had spoken out in a proud tone of voice while reaching in his pocket to take out some magic cards which caused the audience to erupt in gasps and mutters and among them, a familiar voice began to speak and it was none other than Louise.
"I see, he's gonna use one of my special tricks, Russell is such a doll at times!" Louise had spoken out in a cheerful voice as her sudden appearance seemed to have made Allison and Carrie slightly jump.
"Golly, you scared us! We didn't know you were right next to us this whole time.." Allison had spoken out while placing his hand over his chest while Carrie nodded her head in agreement.
"He's right, please announce your presence next time.." Carrie had chimed into the conversation as this made Louise giggle while having a smile on her face.
"My apologies and I have a way of making myself invisible in plain sight and even Calvin had a problem with it but for now, let's enjoy the show.." Louise had responded back in a rather smug tone of voice as she, Allison, and Carrie turned their directions back to Russell who was staring at his trick.
"You see this card, right? I'm gonna make it disappear but first, I'm gonna need a special partner to make it work.." Russell had spoken out while showing the card in his hand which quickly prompted Louise to raise her hand before Allison or Carrie had the chance to do so.
"I can do it! I'll do whatever I can to ensure that the trick works" Louise had called out while waving her hands rather enthusiastically as this made Russell smile as he began to speak once more.
"Well, it seems we have another guest and it appears to a friend of mine, give her a round of applause!" Russell had spoken out in joy as he saw Louise approaching him with the applause of the audience roaring in the background which made him smile of course.
"Good Afternoon, Russell. I'm glad to see that you're doing that special card trick that I've shown you, it makes me quite happy.." Louise had spoken out while shaking her friend's hand as the pair was ready to present the trick.
"Same here, I just want everyone to have a good time so why not show them something special" Russell had spoken back to his friend while handing her the card in the process as it was now time to present the trick.
"Okay, y'all see this card, right? I'm gonna make it disappear…" Russell had spoken out as he suddenly waved his hands over the card with such speed before covering the card with his hand.
"Oh dear, I didn't expect you to touch me but it's a part of the trick.." Louise had thought to herself while blushing as she saw Russell removing his hand from hers and thus, the card was gone.
"And presto! The card is gone, where in the world did it go?" Russell had spoken out in a rather false surprise tone of voice as he opened his hands to reveal nothing there which caused everyone to be shocked and surprised at this magic trick.
"W-Wonderful!" Principal Sheldon had spoken out in awestruck as everyone began to erupt in a round of applause.
"Great job! That was really well done!" Allison had cried out as he continued to cheer Russell on.
"I guess I passed the auditions based on everyone's reactions" Russell had spoken out to his friend while Louise nodded her head in agreement.
"Of course, it was a rather wonderful magic trick, people really enjoyed it" Louise had spoken back while walking towards him with a smile on her face.
"You hid the card in your sleeve, didn't you? When you grabbed my hand, you managed to let the card slip before you raised your hands, right?" Louise had whispered to him as this made Russell nod his head in confirmation.
"Y-Yeah, I had to be quick about it as well or people would know.." Russell had responded back with a smile as this made Louise smile back as she giggled.
"I see, you truly are magnificent in magic tricks, just like me and by the way, break a leg during the talent show, Russie" Louise had spoken back to her friend while giving him a rather playful smile as she quickly made her way back to her seat.
"Alright, next up is Allison! Let's see what he's got!" Principal Sheldon had spoken out in a joyful tone of voice as this made Russell smile.
"Good Luck, Allison, I believe in you.." Russell had thought to himself as he let out a smile while walking down the stage as the next stage of auditions was officially set to begin.
