Chapter 7

(A few weeks later…the night of the awards…everyone is running around getting ready for the ceremony)
Nick: Where’s my shoes?
Elena: (picking up a pair of shoes) Right here dear.
Nick: Thank you. What would I do without you? (Takes shoes and gives her a kiss on the cheek)
Elena: Perform without shoes I guess. (Laughs)
(Alexa and Kayla come in the dressing room dressed in their costumes)
Kayla: I look like Skanky in this outfit!
AJ: (AJ comes in and whistles at Kayla and Alexa) Damn girl, nice legs.
Kevin: Don’t you be hitting on my woman!
AJ: I was just admiring not hitting on.
Liz: Don’t be admiring her. You’re supposed to admire me damnit!
AJ: (looking over Liz) Trust me…I am…oh I am.
(Phone rings)
Sandra: (Picks up a cell phone…doesn’t know who’s it is) Hello…hold on…Elena it’s for you.
Elena: (taking phone) Thanks. Hello…What?!…(Elena walks out of the room still on the phone)
Nick: Uh oh that can’t be good.
Brian: Nevermind that…Nick is this your microphone?
Kevin: No it’s mine.
Brian: Damnit…then where’s mine?
Alexa: Bri…look in your other hand dear.
Brian: (looks at his other hand…where his microphone is) Nobody worry…I found it.
Producer: (comes in) Guys we are on in three minutes…everyone take your places. (Leaves)
(Liz and Sandra give their men a kiss good luck and leave to go back to their seats)
Kayla: I’m not ready yet…I’M NOT READY YET!
Kevin: (Comes up behind Kayla and hugs her) It’s ok. You’ll be fine.
AJ: Just picture them all in their underwear!
Alexa: Does that really help?
Howie: No, but it’s funny.
(Everyone leaves for the stage…as Nick is leaving Elena comes back in and hits into him)
Nick: Hey.
Elena: (quietly not looking at Nick) Sorry Nick.
Nick: It’s ok…(looks at Elena) What’s wrong?
Elena: Huh? Oh nothing. (She gives him a kiss) Good luck, you’ll be great.
Nick: You sure you’re ok?
Elena: Yeah, go you’re going to be late.
Nick: Ok.
(Nick leaves and Elena sits on a couch backstage…she begins to cry)
(On stage)
Kayla: Keep the curtain closed…we can do it with the curtain closed…we don’t need to open it…(looks over and spots Puffy) HI PUFFY! (She waves)
AJ: She is whacked out man.
Kevin: I know…she’s nervous. She’ll be fine once we start.
(The curtain opens and the music starts to play)
Kayla and Alexa: EEK!
(AJ does his laugh in the beginning and they all start to sing)
Brian: I may run and hide when you’re screaming my name all right.
(They continue and the crowd cheers. NOTE: This is the beginning of the show and no awards have been given out yet. Everyone does great…no mess ups)
All the guys: That makes you larger…that makes you larger…that makes you larger than life.
(They finish, everyone claps and cheers, and the curtain closes)
