Phoenix- A person considered as uniquely remarkable in an aspect.
*
A big place like Las Vegas doesn't have room for amateurs, especially coming from a low budget like Elena. She's only dreamt of becomin...
Once Olivia brought me onto the stage, there had been three other girls stretching and humming. Each one was beautifully unique, not one the same to the other.
The assistant rushed up to me and shook my hand, "I'm Jackson and these girls are Jennie, Mia, and Ren."
I greeted them with a wave, "Hi, I'm Elena."
"Just watch for now as they'll run it through it once, and then we'll blend you in." Jackson scurried to the side and Olivia tugged me away.
The girls lined up at the center of the stage and each drew in a deep breath before starting.
Jackson pointed skyward and the music commenced. The melody started slow and steady, all humming like beautiful sirens while dancing smooth and sensuous.
I studied each move thoroughly, attempting to learn it.
The pace quickened and their bodies moved in synch with the vigorous rhythm.
The music cut off and Olivia shot me a happy look, "Okay, now try it." She weaved me in between the girls and the music started over again.

After four hours of dancing and singing, I had memorized every move and note in the two hour show. A gallon of sweat seeped through my clothes and into my shoes. I gasped for air, lying on the ground once the last song finally came to an end.
Olivia crouched down beside me, handing over a cold bottle of water. "Nice work, Elena."
Jackson added, speaking to Olivia. "Work on her balance and CD 6."
He began to walk off the stage until I called after him. "When do you think I'll be performing?"
He turned around to me, "Tonight's show."
I shot a stunned glance at Olivia and she smiled, "You'll do great."

Miranda was absolutely shocked, and so was I. I ended up getting her a ticket to the show for no cost.
I got to backstage two hours before the show started because of makeup, hair, and wardrobe would hog that much time.
My eye makeup was a bright, cyan blue with white glitter packed in my inner corner.

There were dozens of girls backstage along with me, each of them wore the same makeup, attire, and wig as I did.
The dress was a silver cowl front open back split side sequined body-con dress and the wig was a long brown, with beach curl waves.
