Isabella 'Bella' Marie Rickman: This is Me

Part 10

An hour before the performance started, Alan and Tom both arrived outside to be photographed by numerous paparazzi and their fans. They both started to sign a few pictures and then they both headed inside to warm up as it was freezing cold.

"Welcome to Sheffield Gents. Please help yourself to a glass of champagne and head on through to the bar area." They were both greeted at the door.

"Thank you. Could these be delivered to Isabella's dressing room please?" Tom replied as he picked up a flute of champagne and handed the roses over to the host.

"Of course."

They both looked around the theatre to see some up and coming shows that were on after the Pantomime had finished.

"Mr Rickman and Mr Felton it's so good to see you both. Thank you for allowing Bella to be a part of the cast. She has been a massive asset as she can both sing and dance which is what we have been wanting for a while from a main lead. She's a dream to work for." Paul Hendy came up to them both.

"It's no problem. She's a one of a kind. Please enjoy the show."

"She must have made a very good impression at the audition then." Alan mentioned.

"Yeah, she's living the dream. This might open other possibilities for her. If she wants this badly, then she will get the opportunities that you had." Tom replied.

"Come on let's go and take our seats."

The overture was playing. Bella was stood in the middle at the rear of the stage facing away from the front.

Once the overture finished, the Fairy Godmother started her speech.

The show cloth then went up to reveal a village scene with some of the dancers at the back surrounding Bella.

It's Only A Matter of Time started up.

Bella started to sing the song with the rest of the chorus and dancers.

Bella: I'm looking around

There's nothing here can slow me down

It's feeling like my lucky day

Gonna make it and then skate away

I'll be on the radio

They'll know me everywhere I go

It won't be long, they're gonna see

I'll be on MTV

I'll rock my future

A winner, not a loser

Nothing anyone can say

Can make it any other way

I've got my future

A player, not a cruiser

I'll be just what I wanna be

Rockin' all the way through history

It's feeling like a new day

Not another instant replay

Gonna finally do it my way

Yeah

A perfect future

For a shaker and a mover

Every note is in its place

With lots of treble, lots of bass

I'll rock my future

Could it be any cooler?

All I gotta do is play

My troubles disappear and go away

Buttons: Elect me Buttons for Mayor

My new progress platform means more jobs

Lower taxes and bigger civic improvements

Vote for me if you want to advance

I'll serve you faithfully if you'll give me a chance

I believe the future will be brighter than before

Hey! When I got started, I was sweeping up the floor

'Cause it's only a matter of time

'Til the bells of prosperity chime

We'll be part of a new day, a long overdue day

I'll lead us as we make the climb

Chorus: It's only a matter of time

Bella: (I'm breaking through the fourth wall)

Chorus: A new paradigm so sublime

Bella: (I'm flying and I can't fall)

Chrous: It's only a matter of, it's just a matter of

How it goes so good

Yeah

Bella: Come on now, future

Let's hit the turbo booster

Buckle up without a care

Now you can take it anywhere

Write my future

Chrous: (write my future)

Bella: For Simon and for Schuster

The tale of how I came to be

A rock and roll biography, yeah

Chorus: But it's only a matter of time

Bella: (only a matter of)

Chorus: It's only a matter of

Bella: (yeah, I know)

Chrous: Only a matter of time

Bella: (I'm gettin' out of here)

The greatest future of all

Chorus: (for our future, it's his future)

Bella: It's only a matter of time

Everyone applauded Bella and the cast on stage for their opening to the Pantomime.

Alan and Tom were surprised as to what Bella was actually performing. It was something completely different to what she was doing back in London with the Sampson Academy.

The show continued.
