Rikki: *standing in line in the school auditorium* Courtney, are you sure I should do this? There are some gifted kids in this school; I don't know if being in the talent show is a good idea.

Courtney: *nods* It's definitely a good idea. This is the perfect chance to show this school what you can do... *smirks* ...and by this school, I mean Alejandro, of course.

Rikki: *blushes and glares* Don't even go there with me, Courtney.

Courtney: ^^

mirra: hey guys *looks at line* what are you doing here?

Rikki: This genius talked me into auditioning for the talent show. ... I still have no clue how she talks me into this stuff.

Courtney: You're my best friend; I know you well enough to know how to get you to do things. :)

Rikki: -_-*

mirra: and what talent singing or something :)

Rikki: *nods* Yeah...but there are a lot of good singers in this school, and I'm kind of scared...

Courtney: Sure, they're good, but you, Rikki Felisha Shamira LaTonya Daniels, are the best! Trust me, you've got this. *bats her eyes innocently* And I'm sure a certain someone will be blown away when he hears your voice, too. ;)

Rikki: *blushes and looks away* Stop it, Courtney!

mirra: but it's so treu you're the best singer in the whole country *sees alejandro* hey rikki look how's there *whipers* go and talk to him. :)

Rikki: *blushes when she sees Alejandro and shakes her head*

Courtney: If you don't go, I'll go over and tell him how you've been keeping a journal full of songs you wrote about him for the past 6 months.

Rikki: O//////////O You wouldn't...

Courtney: *smirks again* Try me.

Rikki: .......... *sighs* Ok... *walks toward Alejandro.

Courtney: *smiles at Mirra* That always works. ^^

mirra: she really wrote songs? and she's still saying she don't like him

(alejandro and rikki)

alejandro: hi, senorita :)

Courtney: *shrugs* She has a denial problem.

(AxR)

Rikki: *blushes and looks at her feet* H-Hi, Alejandro... What are you doing here?

alejandro: looking for you I found this *shows her necklace* and I know this necklace is yours. what are you doing here?

Rikki: Oh...that is mine; thank you. *takes it and puts it back on* Anyway... C-Courtney talked me into auditioning for the talent show... I haven't gone yet...
*In her mind*: Of course you haven't gone yet, Einstein; you're still in line!! He's not blind!! How stupid are you?!

alejandro: that's great are you going to sing? you have a great voice. and i'm one of the jury

Rikki: Oh... *looks at the floor and blushes* Umm...y-y-yeah, I'm going to sing...

alejandro: well I love to stay with you and talk but I have to go
* kisses her hand* I hope to see you again soon *he walks away*

Rikki: *watches him while blushing* ... *smiles a little* He's something else...

mirra: *walks to rikki* and how did it go

Rikki: *looks at the ground and blushes more* ... H-H-He's judging the talent show... *closes her eyes and sighs* As if I wasn't worried enough about not making a moron out of myself in front of him...

Courtney: *hugs her* Will you stop? You're going to do just fine. All of our friends are coming to the talent show to cheer you on; you've got nothing to worry about.

Rikki: ... How do we know I'll even get in?

Courtney: *rolls her eyes and scoffs* I've been in here helping things along, so I've gotten to watch these people; you'll make it.

Rikki: *sighs* I really hope so...

mirra: just relax and go for it *pulls rikki to the audition*

Rikki: *nods* Alright...
*In her mind*: Try and keep it together, girl; how's it going to look to Alejandro if you get up there all nervous?

Courtney: *sighs and calls Izzy on her phone* Izzy, get to the auditorium ASAP; Rikki needs us.

izzy: *jumps up behind rikki* already here, so what's wrong

mirra: rikki is nervous

izzy: ooo i've got a idee, if we kidnap the jury and find some fake jury she'll win oke I need some gloves, ducktape an...

mirra: what about just supporting her?

Courtney: Actually, I was going to suggest we go up and sing with her. Izzy, Rikki and I sound good together anyway, and at least she'll have someone up there to keep her from getting worried.

Rikki: ... Are you sure, C-C?

Courtney: *nods* Yeah, I think it could work. *looks at Izzy* Izzy, how about it? You wanna sing with Rikki?

izzy: YEAY ofcourse

mirra: courtney that's a great idee,but wich song are you gonna sing?

Courtney: Hmm... *pulls Izzy and Rikki close and they whisper until they separate again* Ok, we've got it... It's a surprise though. ;)

Izzy: In the mean time... *pulls Rikki and Courtney into a hurricane-like spin until they each have on a new black and silver dress*

Izzy and Courtney: Absolutely.

Rikki: *blushes and waves shyly to him*

Sierra (TDI/another judge): Do you guys have a name? :)

alejandro: that was beautifull. well no doubt you're in

Rikki: .... :D Awesome!!

All 3 of them: *hug and jump up and down* *scream excitedly*

Someone using a voice disguiser: It was a simple gesture at first...one intended to help a friend... But what started as a helping hand would result in the chance of a lifetime for Hellfire Kisses...

Duncan: *walks up behind him and takes his voice disguiser* Knock it off, Harold. *pushes him and walks away*

Harold: Oww!! Gosh! >_<

mirra: good job hellfire kisses, you were so awsome, see rikki everyone likes it

Rikki: *nods* Yeah... *sighs* Now, the only question is what we're gonna sing tonight...

Courtney: Oh, there's 5 hours between school ending and the talent show; we've got plenty of time.

Izzy: And we can pick some more outfits from the drama club! Come on!! *pulls Mirra, Rikki and Courtney to the drama room*

alejandro: *blushes* I kinda had the same feeling *smiles*

Rikki: *blushes and smiles more* ... That's really great to know... I'm happy...
