She hastily walk the cascading corridor to his office. He was a short stubby man that resembled a garden gnome that wasn’t so jolly. Giving a brief smile to him she inquired why she had asked to come to the office. A grimy smile creased his face giving nightmare murder vibes Well you see my dear out band for the evening has canceled last min he said in a deep bass tone. I hear you have been singing in a band for last few years now. How would you like a big break today kid and call them and you all play here to night?

The motley crew all showed up with in 5 minutes ready to play. Dandelion was nervous no one at her job had ever heard the band play beforehand. To make it more complicated there was normally a talent scout in the always very large crowd. Take a deep breath and a few vocal warm ups Dandelion walked out onto stage. The crowd all silent broke out into applause and whoop and howls. Raising hands in apparition she took the mic. The night was a blur from that point on. Flash’s in memory are all the remains. The band introduced first song to the encore sweat light heart beating load is all she could hear and see befor existing stage left how time had flown 8 p.m now 3 in the morning While catching her breath in a daze Janell came strolling up with an excited wiggle walk.

As Janell was yammering on neither of them noticed the older lady in all black jump suit slowly walking up to them quietly listening in. Just 3 thousand you say the lady chimed in. Making them both jump five feet in the air. Knocking chairs and glass bottles every where. Duck lady!

Fl They guys hung back as and chatted excitedly as Dandelion gathered her things to go home as it was the end of shift. When Mr. Southernland came strolling up to congratulate her on the performance and to give her a bands performance check. It wasn’t a lot but more then what she would have made serving the tables even if was being spit she was going home with a good profit. She excitedly thanked him told everyone good night. By the time she walked home she was drained. Sneaking into the house trying to not to dare wake the kids or her mother. She safely made it into the house shower and pjs when the youngest came into the room. Letting a slight grown out from exhaustion. She smiled at her little mini carbon copy. Scooping her up in arms they flopped on the small twin bed. Snuggling her her arms with a large yarn and little one rubbing her eyes they both passed out around 4 in the morning. What felt like a small nap Dandelion was woken around 9 by little squiggles as Mabel couldn’t stay still longer. Wake up! Wake up! It’s time to get up mommy! Mabel gently whispered.
