Don't Forget Where You Belong (BM + 1D)

Audition : Booble Maps

A young blonde haired girl, only about 12, runs past the group, crying her eyes out.
"We must be soon then," gulped Paula, turning away from the girl to face the rest of the band.
"You scared?" Leah asked the others.
"I think we all are," Nellie laughed nervously.

A tall black haired man with a microphone in his ear and a clipboard in the crook of his arm walked out.
"Booble Maps is next," he called, rushing past them.
"Oi!" Zaina called loudly after him.
"What do you want? I have a job to do you know!" He stopped momentarily.
"Where are we supposed to go?" She asked, looking both ways down the hallway. There was no signs or directions.
"Look for the stage, figure it out!" He sighed exasperatedly and turned away from them.

The group started down the hallway where the crying girl had come from. They couldn't see any signs and nobody knew where the stage was.

"We're supposed to be on stage right now, guys," Harriet said as they searched frantically for anyone that could tell them anything useful.

A large brown haired man came up to them, looking furious.
"Are you girls Booble Maps?" He basically yelled.
"Y-Yes?" Louisa said nervously. The man looked just about ready to kill somebody.
"We've been looking everywhere for you!" He hissed, taking Harriet by the arm and pulling them after him.
"You're supposed to be on stage! The judges have been waiting, we're on air! The audience is restless, you have no idea how much trouble you've caused!"

"Jeez, sorry," Zaina muttered, earning her a death glare from the man and a few eye rolls from her bandmates.

When they finally got to the stage, the band were panicked and unprepared.

"What's your name?" Cheryl asked.
The girls tried to speak at the same time but messed up.
"Sorry girls, I didn't quite catch that." Louis said politely.
"We're Booble Maps," Zaina said into the microphone.

"What ages are you?" Dannii asked as the static crackled in her earpiece.
"We're all 19, except Paula, she's 18." Nellie replied.
"Off you go then, girls," Simon said, leaning back into his chair.

Oh Nina, you should go Nina
Cause I ain't ever coming home Nina
Oh won't you leave me now
And I've been livin' on the road Nina
But then again you should know Nina
Cause that's you and me both Nina
Oh won't you leave me now, now

They only sang the chorus because they all kept singing different verses at the same time. They sounded pretty good, but they'd sung better in rehearsals.

"I think that was amazing!" Cheryl exclaimed. "A yes from me."

"It could do with some work but there is definitely potential," Louis thought for a second. "Two yes'."

"A little pitchy but all in all, you could go really far." Dannii said, smiling. "Three."

Everyone held their breath as Simon began to speak. He slowly clapped and said just two words.
"You're through."
The girls started jumping up and down and squeaking. They got through to the next round of X Factor. Like, the X Factor. It was unbelievable.

They thanked the judges and walked off stage as calmly as possible. When they were leaving, the next act, a boyband came up in front of them.

"Sorry, can we get past there?" A blonde one asked in an Irish accent.
"Yeah, of course, sorry," Paula apologised, staring at them.
The boys scooted past them as their band was called out.
"One Direction!"

"Good luck," they called after the boys, and secretly hoped they'd meet again.
