I looked at the piece of paper in my hand once again.
"What kind of question is this? Do you like pie?!?" I ranted to my manager.
"Chillax, just smile and reply calmly like you always do. At least this time they gave us the questions beforehand." said my Bro-Man.
I took a deep breath, and started waiting for the interviewer.
A pretty brunette lady rushed in, with a cameraman rushing beside her. They were panting, and I pretty much guessed that they were the ones we were waiting for.
"I'm... sorry... I'm... late... traffic...," the lady panted, before regaining her breath.
Then she faced me and smiled.
"Hi, I'm Roni Martinov, journalist/host of Stars Collide Hot Topic," she said as she held out her hand.
I shook her sweaty hand.
"This is Joe, my cameraman," she introduced me to a guy with spiky hair holding a massive camera.
"Hurry! Thirty seconds!" screeched the director.
We all ran to the bench and positioned ourselves for the interview. A moment ago I had been scowling, and now I totally changed into my the Melody Richards persona.
"3, 2, 1.." spoke the Joe guy. I liked Joe. He had a short and easy name to remember.
I flashed my award winning smile at the camera.
"Hi, I'm Roni Martinov and this is Hot Topic with America's sweetheart, Melody Richards!" the woman spoke dramatically.
"And, cut! Thirty seconds intro!" shouted the director.
Roni scrambled to put her papers in order, while I just sat there, waiting.
A crowd was starting to form, mostly by onlookers who were wondering about the commotion. But when they realized that it was me, they started screaming and more and more people arrived to see what was happening.
"And... action!" shouted the director.
"Hi, this Roni Martinov, your host for Stars Collide Hot Topic. Today's Hot Topic is teen sensation Melody Richards!" she flourished
At this, I smiled brightly and waved at the camera.
Then someone in the crowd started screaming like crazy. When the people saw the cameras shooting the extremely screamy person, they all started to scream and chant my name.
"Oh wow. This is the first time I've seen this big of a crowd. How do you feel about it?" the interviewer asked.
"Honestly, I'm so excited to see some of my fans! Since my schedule is pretty full, I rarely get the chance to meet my fans, which sucks," I replied with much exaggerated enthusiasm.
Hearing my reply, the crowd doubled in size and sound.
Even though I was irritated by the sound (remember my sensitive ears?), I forced a smile and waved at the crowd.
This caused them to grow even larger in number and so security guards were called in to keep the fans from climbing over the fences.
"Aww, so sweet. Would you like to say anything to your fans?" she asked as she motioned to the camera.
I smiled my award-winning smile.
"I love you guys! I would be nothing without you, and you guys made my dream come true! Also, for being the best fans ever, I have two surprises for you guys in the end," I said as I winked at the camera.
"Now moving on to our interview, how old are you? You seem very young to have captured the hearts of millions of people around the world," she paused and then spoke to the audience, "Am I right people?"
Que in the dramatic overreaction with the screaming and screeching and a guy fainting. Yes, a guy.
I almost rolled my eyes. Instead, I smiled sweetly and said, "I'm almost sixteen. I'm really excited for my birthday, since it's pretty soon and I'm pretty sure it's going to be epic."
"I would like to ask you to confirm a rumor, would that be okay?" she asked in confirmation.
Gosh, she's asking in front of live tv, of course it would be okay. I would sound like a stuck-up brat if I refused.
I nodded my head softly.
"So, I've heard rumors that MTV has offered to sponsor your sweet sixteen birthday as one of their Sweet Sixteen episodes."
I grinned, "Yeah, I've only heard about this last week and I'm pretty excited for it. If nothing comes up all of a sudden, you'll all probably see my sweet sixteen on TV!"
"How did you become so famous in the first place?" Roni asked.
I hated this question. Everybody asked me this, and I tried my best to avoid talking about it as much as possible. Becoming famous accidentally on a prank video wasn't the best way to stardom.
"Well, this thing called the internet helped me a lot. It was pretty much an accident." I spoke and grinned sheepishly.
"Wow, you are one of the most successful artists in history, yet you're very young. How does it feel like to be at the peak of stardom?"
"It's amazing. Everyday I wonder how I even got here. I count my blessings every day, and I'm really thankful for my amazing fans. Without them, I would still be the shy nerdy girl singing in the shower."
The journalist chuckled.
"Now for questions that we have pulled out of Twitter. Are there any new songs coming out soon?
I pretended to laugh and replied easily, "Not yet. I have these cool ideas that pop into my head occasionally, but so far, I don't have a full song."
"Who's your celebrity crush?" Roni asked with a giggle.
"Oh my.. I honestly don't know. Everybody is so gorgeous out here in Hollywood. Sometimes I even wonder how I fit in," I said with a laugh.
"This is a really random question, but, do you like pie?"
"Yes, I adore pie. My favorite type of pie is chicken pot pie, and I learned this recipe for making it at home, and it is heavenly." I advertised, yet again.
"Okay, so our time is up, and now our lovely guest will reveal her two surprises."
"First things first, I'm going to have my own reality show!" I shouted to the audience.
I watched as that piece of information sunk in, and their reaction time to screaming loudly once more.
"I'm going back to high school, and hopefully it won't be as dramatic as all those other shows, but you guys are going to take tour of my high school life."
The crowd screamed, shrieked, and pulled out their phones to share this new piece of information.
"And, when I said that I didn't have any new songs, I was lying. I have a new single, and I'll sing it to you live today!" I said as I went away out of people's sights and then started running to the mic behind the curtain.
The journalist introduced my new single, "Ladies and gentlemen, an exclusive first view of Melody's new single... ROCK N ROLL!!"
I smiled as the curtains opened.
I was going to rock this place.
