Audition Tape: Julian Anne Peakly

A short girl with fair hair stomps into the room, slamming the door behind her. In the background, there is a baritone voice singing something similar sounding similar to opera, and the tune of a theme song to what could be mistaken for an amime.

"Shut up for five minutes! I'm making my audition tape!" she shouts at the closed door.

The voice pauses, then shouts back, "You mean for that stupid show? I have a real audition tomorrow for Peter Pan, so deal with it!"

"I wish I was an only child!" the angsty teenager whines to the closed door.

Rolling her eyes she sits on the bed and looks at the camera. "Edit that."

Taking a deep breath, she starts, "I'm Julian Peakly, age 16, and I want to be on your show 'Total Drama Island." I know that its a Canadian show, but I HAVE to get out of here. Mostly to get away from the chaos that's my family, and break out of the middle child role. You see, my brother is a geeky, musical theater nerd, and my sister is crazy artistic-- but I'm kinda just there.

"I mean, I'm not totally useless! I'm pretty good with technology, I guess. Umm..." she pauses looking around, and her eyes brighten as they land on a specific point in the room.

"Agent A27! Formation 14!"

A small, fuchsia teddy bear with glowing red eyes and an antenna sticking out of it's plushy head marches into the frame on command, saluting Julian, then rolling into a karate pose with its arms defensive and knees crouched.

"This is a prototype for my new room security. Eventually, I'll have about twelve of these," she says smiling at the robotic stuffed animal.

It then begins to short circuit, it's head popping off in a small explosion of electricity, screws, and stuffing.

"Heh, there's obviously still a few bugs I still need to work out..." she admits embarrassed.

Clearing her throat she says finally, "So, if you want someone whose desperate for attention and willing to cause chaos, sometimes unintentionally, I'm your girl!"

Her cheeks flush at the desperately true statement, she then notices the body of the bear has disappeared and a crash can be heard from somewhere off-screen.

It appears a small fires has started and a burnt, stitched paw appears in the frame close to the lense as Julian screams and the video goes black.

"Dude, that was awesome!" Chris McLean yells with excitement when the video ended. He had found his last contestant.

Chef Hatchet sends his coworker a 'look.'

"Uh, didn't the boss say the cut off was 22?"

"No, he said there had to be a winner by the end of the season. And there will be. Don't worry about it," Chris said with a devious look on his face.

Chef shrugged and rolled his eyes. He had a feeling Chris might be up to no good. It didn't really matter to him, as long as he got paid.

So here we are! This will definitely be an interesting project. I'll try my hardest not to make her a mary-sue character. Just remember there is a new character, so not everything is going to happen like the show.

Also, Julian is NOT pronounced like Julie- Anne. Its Julian (Jew-Lee-In). Or Julie if you're her older brother. Juice, if you're her younger sister.

Also, if you got my reference, you get a cookie. :)
