Adopted by Six on Broadway

Not a Heart of Stone

Samantha's POV

We quickly came to her side and started comforting her. I carefully stroked her hair while Andrea sang a soft song under her breath.

Eventually Angie woke up, crying hard. 

"It's okay Angie." I murmured.

"I'm so sorry, it'll never happen again." She said quickly, using the sleeve of her old sweatshirt to wipe her face.

"Angie it's okay. Crying is normal." Andrea told her, rubbing her back.

"Why don't we get you some lunch, and you can watch while we get ready for the show?" I offered.

She nodded, and with a shaky voice said. "That sounds good."

So we went to mine and Abby's dressing room. Andrea left to go to her and Brittany's dressing room to get ready.

Angie sat on the couch and went wide eyed when Mallory and Nicole came in. She was already shocked when she saw Abby.

"Is this Angie?" Mallory asked.

Angie nodded, and a small shriek of happiness escaped her lips.

Angie's POV

I'm totally content if I die now. Not only have I met four of the six queens on Broadway, I am now meeting Nicole and Mallory, two of the three alternates. Unfortunately they don't get to have their own costumes, but they still are amazing.

"Hi Angie, I'm Mallory and this is Nicole."

"I know." I blurted. 

They laughed. "Are you okay being alone for the show? Or would you like to hang out with us and Courtney?"

"Really?" I asked.

"Of course." Nicole smiled at me.

"Sure!"

So I watched Samantha put on her sparkly pink eye shadow and pull her hair up into a bun. Then someone came in and attached a fake ponytail to it. Then they clasped the spiked thing onto it.

I squeaked when I saw Abby's and Samantha's costumes. 

"Would you like to see them?" Samantha asked.

I nodded and she carefully placed her costume into my hands. "This is the best day of my life." I said after a minute.

Samantha laughed. "I'm glad. We were worried about you this morning." I handed her the costume back.

Abby let me touch her costume, before asking Samantha for help attaching the spiked headband thingy.

When they were waiting to go on, the alternates and I were sitting in the spare dressing room, with the speaker on so we could hear what's happening with the show. 

We were playing Uno. I was winning. 

"Red three." Mallory said, placing down a red three.

"Uno!" I said, placing down a blue three.

"No change the color!"

They changed it to green. When it was my turn I sighed like I had a blue, then placed down a wild card.

"Good job Card Master." Courtney joked.

"That's too long to be a nickname. What's your favorite movie Angie?" Nicole asked.

"I've never watched any movies. I only read books that I check out from the library at school. I don't have any friends because the school I'm at is terrible."
