Auditions

"Ten minutes left to get ready," said Showtime to Opal, who was still in the shower.

"Oi, you sound like me," said Opal while she washed her mane clean.

"No, get out of there. Look what you doing, your making me be the responsible one," said Showtime.

"Alright, I'm done now," said Opal, turning off the water. Opal appeared a few seconds later with a towel slung over her back. Within the next ten minutes they did get out of the flat and trotted down to the "book shop".

"Welcome, welcome everypony, to the Silver Steps, now get yourselves ready to audition, good luck," said Theo into the microphone. After that he was shooed off the stage by Lillan and he was put to mopping and cleaning up.

"First up, Lesley the magician, Hugo the unicorn, and Sparkle," said Taullaugh. This went on for many hours. "Next, Showtime," said Taullaugh.

Showime was as white as a sheet and shaking.

"go ahead," said Opal, shoving her on stage.

"Go," said Taullaugh with a smirk on her face.

Showtime began to sing.

"There's no business like show business," it was a wobbly voice that came out of Showtime's mouth, but her voice was light and angelic.

Taullaugh was threatened and scared by the audition, she was about to say next when Lillian yelled "You're in!"

"Why did you do that?" whispered Taullaugh in Lillian`s ear.

"Look, we need chorus mares and fast, several have left this week due to you and your-" said Lillian, but stopped when she was smacked round the back of the head, which made her scream out in pain. Taullaugh gave her a look as if to say "Don't interfere again, I'm in charge." Because Lillian knew that she didn't want a smack round the head, she also knew that Showtime was going to go far in show business.

"I haven't got all day, next!" yelled Tallaugh.

Opal climbed the stairs, shaking with fright. Opal began to sing, her voice stunned and silenced the room with her angelic voice. Even Taullaugh had an open mouth for a few seconds. Her sister seemed to be a better dancer than a singer compared to Showtime. Showtime was hired like her sister but Taullaugh was less threatened by Opal, for she could not sing or dance. After that the two sisters went back to the flat, with a big smile on both of their faces.
