After one year... 1972 New Jersey

Lily sits on the chair waiting her turn at the audition. Yes, she is waiting to be received at an audition. It seems crazy that a year ago, she was a naive and shy teenager and now she is auditioning for a rock band. It seems that the time spent with Gene changed her musical tastes and she started to be more and more attracted to this kind of music.

She started playing secretly and Violet helped her and bought her a microphone and a guitar. If her father or brother found out, they would throw them out the window. She goes to her friends' house and practices there. She doesn't know how good she is though. She's just an amateur doing something she likes.

So she's here auditioning for a female rock band called "Heart." There are two members looking for another member. She waits with emotion for her turn. Next to her are other girls, as young as she is. Next to her sits a girl with red hair and blue eyes. Lily looks at her and greets her:

"Hello, I'm Liliana, but you can call me Lily."

The girl looks at her a little confused as she stares at the other girls and then turn on her head to Lily and says:

"Hello," she smiles, "I'm Tamara."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

Next to them are three other girls who stare at them with curiosity. One of them, a blonde girl with blue eyes, smiles and approaches Lily and Tamara and greets them:

"Hi girls. I'm Susan."

"Nice to meet you,"Lily smiles at her.

Two brunettes approach them and greet them too:

"Hello, I'm Layla..."

"Hello, I'm Lee."

"Hello girls," Lily smiles at them. "So today, are you praying for your lucky day?"

"Yes, "Lee answers. "But I've heard that "Heart" are very rough. I honestly don't know how many chances we have..."

"It's worth a try," Lily says.

In a few minutes they call for auditions in turn. When Lily enters the room, the members of the band "Heart" do not even look at her. One of them asks in a bored voice:

"How old are you darling?"

"19."

The woman whispers something in her colleague's ear, staring at Lily. Her colleague nods and looks seriously at the teenager.

"You're a little too young. I don't know how good you can be at this age."

"I promise you will be impressed," the girl smiles nervously.

"Okay, let's see what you have. So you're a vocalist, right?"

"Yes..."

"Okay, let's see."

And the brunette starts to play the guitar, revealing her accumulated talent, and singing with strong emotions. The two women follow her with interest all the time. When she finishes, the girl puts her guitar down and looks at them curiously and smiling.

"Liliana... Costas..." Says one of them reads on a piece of paper.

"Lily... You can call me Lily."

"Oh, ok, Lily. So it looks like you're really talented, but you're not what we're looking for."
