Battle
Scars
Chapter 21
Alaska’s P.O.V.
And now it’s time for a little broadway classic.
All That Jazz.
I love this song. Rubes is playing piano for the start bit –
my bit – and then the piano guy comes and takes her place
when it’s her turn to sing and dance. If you’ve seen
the Glee version (Ruby forced me to watch it when we were choosing
songs – and I thought it was pretty cool) I’m Cassie
and she’s Rachel. And we are duelling.
And with a quick glimpse to the side, I notice that the 1D boys are
all ready to go.
In what seems like not much time at all, ATJ has finished, and now,
it’s question time.
‘Hello London!’ says Ruby
‘We’re here to answer a couple of questions. I notice
we’re answering one from Ophelia Chesaway in seat
H48?’
Opehelia is jumping up and down, waving and screaming.
‘What was your question?’
‘Liam tweeted just before you finished Oath that he’s
ditched Danielle – do you suppose it was for one of you
two?’
‘He what?’ exclaims Ruby.
‘Well, it looks like Ruby’s got some game then. Barely
even knows Liam Payne, and yet he’s fallen flat on his face
for her.’
‘No no no, Liam barely knows me. I’m pretty sure it
can’t be me. It could – but he could have any one of
you beautiful girls out there.’
‘Phhht. Yeah, right. I have an AWESOME potential romance
sensor – and it’s beeping nonstop, it’s telling
me: ‘LIBY CRANE’S GOING TO FORM! LIBY CRANE’S
GOING TO FORM!’’
“Well, it must be broken then. And that’s our only
answer for the day!”
There’s a pause as the lights go down, we’re about to
sing Born This Way. And like the Glee cast, we’ve made some
shirts. So we chuck them overtop our dresses, and chuck on a jacket
after that.
And then the backing track starts.
My shirt says: ‘DMT.’
Ruby’s shirt says: ‘Dixpraxic’
And the audience cheers when we take off our jackets –
they’re probably happy to know we’ve got some stuff
wrong with us too.
And then I spot Bailey.
Bailey’s smiling like a Cheshire cat with pride.
But I can only just tell.
And just like that: the last number is about to be preformed. This
is the number we’re collaborating with 1D on.
Because it’s too hard to do with just two people.
Time Warp – from the rocky horror picture show.
