Isabella 'Bella' Marie Rickman: I'm Still Standing

Part 20

As Bella wasn't dancing until the second act, her dad and Tom with other guests had booked out a row in the Circle. So, they would rush from the Chamber of Secrets Premier to attend the dance recital.

Bella has arranged this surprise for her friends as they wanted to meet some of the cast. But they would also be surprised as Bella had worked hard since she ran away from home

So, they had to wait until the end of the show for surprise.

Bella and her friends were in a dressing room getting their hair and makeup done ready to go on stage. She was laughing and smiling at what they were doing. Bella got dressed in her Morticia Addams costume to do the opening of The Addams Family Medley.

It was the interval; the audience were out having drinks at the bar and smokes outside the theatre.

Alan, Tom and some of the Harry Potter cast had turned up in their best suits and dresses as they had come straight from the Chamber of Secrets.

Sophie and Jacob were in the bar with pre ordered drinks for the whole group. They waited patiently for Alan and the others.

"UNCLE AL!" Jacob shouted and headed over to Alan and the others and he hugged his Godfather.

"Hey there squirt. Are you enjoying yourself?" Alan asked of the young boy.

"It's just been kids younger than me and Bella that have been on. It was ok, is Bella performing tonight?" Jacob asked.

"Yes, she is. She's in the second act that's why we have rushed here so that we can watch her preform for the first time. I'm going to send her a message to tell her that we are all here." Alan got his phone and sent his daughter a text.

Tom, Dan, Emma, and Rupert looked around to see that everyone was watching them.

Some of younger dancers started to point in their direction.

"I think that we had better take our seats. We are getting noticed." Dan mentioned to the others.

"Yeah, I think that's for the best. Let me get a programme so I know when Bella is on." Alan told the group and headed to get a programme.

Once they had taken their seats, they were on the front row of the circle so that they shouldn't get fussed about as their faces would be facing the stage and they shouldn't notice that there are famous faces in the audience.

Bella and her friends had just finished warming up for their first dance that would open the second act of the show. The Addams Family Medley.

She was feeling nervous as her dad had texted her to say that they had arrived at the theatre, and he sent her good luck. She was surprised that he had turned up at all. Tom also sent his good luck wishes with a couple of kisses thrown in.

"Right then girls. Places everyone." The dance teacher instructed them.
