Aaliyah P.O.V

"Aaliyah!Babygirl!! Come down stairs please!!" My mama yelled from down stairs.i closed my journal and Sighed .

"Coming!" I yelled. When I came down stairs I seen my mama eyes glued on the T.V.

"Yes mama?" I asked.

"Babygirl, How would you feel if you was on "Star Search" ?"

I took a minute to think about it. I know this is her favorite show of all time, and I have been told I have an amazing voice. so Hey why not give this a shot.

"I would love to be on there mama!"

"Great their having open auditions this Saturday."she said with a wide smile showing all her pearly whites. swear out of all the people I know, she has the best teeth ever!

"B-but mama its only Monday."I said confused. "I mean why are they just now telling us about auditions now?"

" I don't know. You should ask them when you get there." she shrugged as she wrote down the address for the auditions.

NEXT DAY

"mama. I know what song I want to sing" I told her with a wide grind on my face.

"Really baby? What song?" She said with a sweet smile

" Brick house by the Commodores" her smiled faded

"Babygirl that song isn't appropriate for this..i believe. and definitely to inappropriate for you age. your on 10 remember."

"Yeah I know." I turn around walking towards the stairs. " WHAT! Y not I sing "Funny Valentine?"

She look up at me a her eyes glowed.

" I want to sing it cause' it's your favorite song." I smiled looking down at my toes.

She nodded with a sweet smile.

After Auditions

"AALIYAH! AALIYAH!" my brother came bargaining into my room.

"Rashad , what do you want?" I said rolling my eyes

"Dang what's with the attitude?" he said crossing his arms.

"Well let's see. You just barged in my room with out asking." I said annoyed, point to the door.

"Ok so. what's your point?." He asked

"What if I was naked? Huh?"

"Ok I seen a naked woman before. I seen mama body before."

"Ok now you went to far." I said disgusted. I pushed him out my room. He laughed.

"By the way mama need you." He said has he walked to his room. I shook my head and headed down stairs.

"Yes mama?"

She had the house phone in her hand.She look at me with tears in her eyes. I don't know if it were tears of happiness or sadness.

"Mama wants wrong?"i walked towards her to sit by her.

"Babygirl you made it. You made the auditions. They just called me"

My heart dropped. I actually made it. Oh my gosh. I did it.

"I made it. I made it !" I said as I jumped up and down. I'm so happy right now.

"We have to fly to California."

"O MY GOSH. IM GOING TO CALIFORNIA.!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed.

Her smile started to fade.

"What's wrong now mama?"

"Umm."

"Mama tell me"

"But we're moving there." she looked away from me.

"Why we're just staying there for Star Search right?" I said out of breath from all the jumping.

"I'm so sorry sweet but my job got transferred to Cali. " she said with full sadness. As she bent down to my level.

"But honey this would be better for us. For u. trust me"

I got to the middle of the stage where it said "Star Search" in the Star. I looked at the crowd. I search for my mama. I see. that made be more confident. phew . I heard the music to "Funny Valentine" starting. I brought the mic to my lips.

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your Figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is Valentines day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to Speak
Are you smart

But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's Day.

I ended the song. I bowed to the crowd. the crowd was cheering and clapping . I seen my mama standing with tears in her eyes. I knew I did her proud.
