As the well dressed crowd entered the small night club talking tonights singer, Marrianne was backstage doing the finishing touches on her make up. She was nervous, it was her first big break.
As she slipped into the blue strapless dress, there was a knock on the dressing room door. "Come in!" She hollered checking herself over.
"Miss Chatham, flowers for you." A young deliver boy set them down as she signed the form. She gave him a generous tip and read the card. 'Look for us tonight in the audience! Signed ??' She had no idea who it could have been other than her parents.
"Five minutes Miss Chatham!" the stage manager called to her, pulling her back into the atmosphere.
She got to the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, the lady you've come to see, Miss Marrianne Chatham!" the emcee announced. The music start.
"As you listen to the band doncha get a bubble? As you step out on the floor you forget your trouble..."She started to sing as the dancers moved around her. She was still the same plus sized girl that she was in high school only now with two Grammy's under her belt.
As the song ended, she struck the ending pose. The crowd applauded and she heard a few whistles in the audience. "Thank you everyone for coming to see the show tonight, I know they say no pictures in here but this is your show so feel free to take as many pictures as you like." There was more applause.
"Before I continue can we bring the houselights up, I love to see who all is here." When the lights came up, there sitting with her folks were Greg, Eddie, The Warners as well as a few others from her high school days.
"OH MY GOD!!" She screamed happily. She motioned for them to stand up. "Ladies and gentlemen, these folks were some of the nicest people I knew back in high school!" There was applause for the group. She blew them a kiss, "Go ahead and sit we'll talk after the show!" She went back and finished to a standing ovation! Once the bows were taken, she headed back to the dressing room, getting into something more comfortable when there was another knock.
"Its unlocked!" She hollered from behind the dressing curtain.
"You really should be more careful who you let in here." Greg's voice said with a laugh to it.
"GREG!!" She ran over and hugged him tightly! "Its good to see you again," seeing the group. "All of you! Hey let me treat you all to a night on the town!"
The consensus was positive. So the group went out, it was just the way she remembered high school and the cast parties.
The sun started to break through her curtains gently waking her from her dream. She yawned and sat up, it was time to start another day.
