Adopted by Six on Broadway

Journey to the Past

Angie's POV 

"You-You're adopting me?" 

"Is that okay with you? Me and Sam would never do anything that wasn't okay?"

"It's amazing!" I ran into Andrea's arms. "Thank you Mama."

"No problem Songbird. Remember, act surprised."

"Songbird?"

"I think it fits, what about you?" 

"It's perfect Mama." I laughed. "Let's watch something."

"Like what? Nothing to conflicty." Andrea grabbed her TV remote.

"Conflicty isn't a word. I was just thinking a movie or something. Like Disney."

Andrea smiled. "Disney sounds great. Actually, you've never seen Disney channel right?"

"No."

"We're bingeing classic Disney channel shows! Starting with Austin and Ally!" Andrea signed into  Disney Plus, and suddenly I shrieked. 

"Mama! They have Anastasia!" I pointed at the laptop screen.

"They do! Fine, I guess we can watch Anastasia before Austin and Ally."

She clicked on it, then ran to the kitchen. "Don't tell Sam." She handed me a bag of potato chips, and mixed some popcorn with junior mints. We watched Anastasia and chowed down on the snacks. Around the end, I got up, and started baking.

"What are you doing?" Andrea asked.

"Baking."

"Very Waitressy Songbird." Andrea said. "You need help?"

"No. This is my secret brownie recipe, and I'm not giving it away." I shooed her away. In about ten minutes I had the brownies in the oven.

We settled back on the couch and watched Austin and Ally until the timer dinged. 

"Ooh brownies!" Andrea reached to take one.

"No Mama! Wait for them to cool. You don't want to burn your hand. Andrea sighed. I took out the marshmallow fluff, and started making marshmallow frosting, while Andrea tided the living room, that was covered in chip bags, and pillows.

"All done!" I said, as I finished rolling the brownies with the frosting.

Andrea threw away the last chip bag and sprinted beside me. "Ooooooh!" She said.

"Mama!" I laughed, as I cut a piece for each of us. "We're saving some for the cast tomorrow, so don't eat all of them." I handed her one brownie, and wrapped up the rest neatly on a paper plate.

"Oh my god this is so good! What's in it?! What's that crunch?" 

"These are my secret recipe s'mores brownies." I doubt Andrea heard me over the sound of her eating brownies.

...

I stood outside of Anastasia's theatre with my tote bag, which was already covered in signatures from Waitress and Six. I was saving my other bag, "And you can quote this: Oooowhoawhoahoa whoa!" For Mean Girls.

The security guard let me in, and led me to the stage. 

There was Christy Altomare. And Derek Klena. Oh my god.

Christy rushed to hug me. "You must be Angie! Sara told us about you!"

I was in shock. "It's nice to meet you."

"And this is Derek, Ramin, John, Caroline, and Mary."

When I got to Ramin, and shook his hand, I squirted and resisted the urge to squeal and collapse.
