      May walked in the door.

      It was time for today's challenge.

      She scanned the audience and searched the crew.

      No sign of Patricia.

      She looked over at Ethan.

      He looked up and his eyes met hers.

      They both knew what they were thinking: she's not here.

      That was a little worrying. God knows where she could be. She could come out here with a bomb for all May and Ethan know.

      Mr. Sleer walks out on stage. "Good evening everyone!" he said. His words cheerful and filled with glee, "Welcome to today's challenge. Today I have a special..."

      A man wearing all black holding an index card came walking out on stage. He whispered to Mr. Sleer.

      Mr. Sleer continued, "It seems we have a slight change of plans! We have a specail guest here to explain your challenge. Patricia?"

      Patricia Clark walked out on stage. Her red lips puckered with disgust. Her long hair in a braid to the side, it seemed to change colors. Her hair is now brown with blue tips. Her dress looked like Effie Trinket's from the Hunger Games, it had plastic monarch butterflies all over it. She had a headband on with two artificial butterflies sitting on it. She had what looked like ten inch heels on. They were colored neon orange with black spots. They clicked each time they hit the stage. "Hello, stupid artists!"

      At her first words May and Ethan's eyes met eachother. Ethan mouthed something to May but she didn't understand what he said. What? She mouthed back.

      She's here! He said. His eyes shifted to the stage. May's eyes followed.

      Patricia continued, "For today's challenge you paint a picture of me and my awesomeness! It must please me or you're eliminated!"

      May's mouth dropped.

      She can't do this! May thought. Can she?
