Chapter 25

 Kristy stared intently at Fatima, who was showing Kristy little tricks to 
make the choreography seem more difficult, like focusing on your feet everynow 
and then.  "If you make it seem harder" Fatima smiled evilly "Then people will 
be more in awe of you, like you've got great talent.....it really works, trust 
me!"

Kristy was about to respond when Denise walked in.  "You've got a couple of 
faxes Kristy"  The faxes were handed over, and a few words exchanged before 
Denise retreated down the hall.  Glancing at the pile of "a few" faxes, Kristy 
examined the top one.  It was a letter from her parents.  That was set on the 
table to read later.  One was a big letter from all her buds, which also was 
dropped onto the table.  She came to one with the Doin' It Music corps logo in 
the top corner.  Curiously Kristy scanned down the paper.  Her mouth formed a 
small o.  

"What?" Fatima's voice cut into her dreams. 

"I'm about to shoot my video...." Kristy trailed off.  "They wanna release my 
first single in 2 wks!" She finished with a shriek.  Kristy jumped in the air, 
and broke into a huge grin.  Excitedly she hugged Fatima.  "2 weeks! Can you 
believe it?? Eeeee!  Oh my god, what am I gonna do?  It says I'll leave 
tommorow, and I'm shooting in the Florida Keys, and ahh eehh! Oooo this is SO 
great!  Wha-I've..I mean....I've gotta go pack, I-I leave tommorow" Kristy's 
hands trembled slightly.  "I've gotta go, I'l see ya at the show!"  and with 
that Kristy raced out of the room.

Kristy ran back into the arena about 2 hours later, dragging a suitcase behind 
her.  Turning the corner, she smacked into Nick.

"Hi!" Kristy said brightly.  "Bye!" 

"Bye?!" Nick asked in disbelief.  "What's with the suitcase?"

"I leave tonight!" Kristy told him happily.

"Tonight?!?!?" Nick practically shouted.

"Alyssa changed my flight, I leave tonight!"  She attempted to push past Nick, 
eager to get on her way, but he grabbed her arm roughly.

"Why are you leaving" Nick asked, his face depressed.  Kristy looked at him 
blankly, then broke into a smile.

"I forgot, you don't know yet!  I shoot my first music video tommorow!  I leave 
tonight after the show! Aren't you excited?" Nick's face relaxed.

"I thought you meant you were leaving for, like, leaving!  Geez, you scared me" 
He hugged her tightly.  

Laughing Kristy bounced down the hall, "I'm shooting a video!" she sang.  "I'm 
releasing a CD" her voice floated down the hall, and turned a corner with her.  
Nick laughed brightly at Kristy's retreating frame.
