Into Me You See

one

{Wednesday's POV}

"You're about to be in a fucking room with Katy Perry." my best friend, Maggie, says to me as we walk down the streets of San Diego. We just arrived, three hours before I audition for American Idol. Three hours before my life changes, or stays dismally the same.

"I know. You've only reminded me about nine BILLION times! I'm as excited as I can every be!" I say, twirling around on the sidewalk. I've waited so long for this moment. Nobody ever believed I could do it. Well, except for Maggie. 

She's been my best friend since I moved to L.A. a year ago. She lives in the apartment right across the hall from mine. 

"I can't wait. What if you make it? I mean you are TOTALLY going to make it but like...what if you like become friends with like all the judges. Especially Katy. Because she's all that matters, tbh." Maggie links arms with me as we walk. I giggle, looking at her.

"That wouldn't happen. I mean...we would work together, yes, but I'd never be able to form a real relationship with one of them. They are celebrities. They have their own problems to worry about without having to hear mine." I say. 

"But still.........Katy fucking Perry..." Maggie whispers. I slap her arm playfully. 

"Stop drooling. Look. Here's the building. Lets go sign in." I say, leading Maggie toward the door.

{Katy's POV} 

" THREE HOURS TO SHOW TIME " The screen blinks and a voice cries out the time. I'm anxious. I'm always anxious before a show, whether it be a concert or American Idol. I have been waiting three whole months to start filming Idol again. I'm so excited. 

"Katy!" I hear a familiar voice behind me. I turn to see Lionel Richie smiling at me.

"Hey Lionel! Are you ready to hear some talent?" I ask, continuing to comb through my still short, still blonde hair. 

"Never been more ready. These last three months have been a killer. I can't wait to get started again."

"Well I couldn't agree more." I hear Luke's thick country accent from across the room. Lionel and I both turn to see him walking toward us, smile wide. 

"Lukey..." I say playfully, giving him a hug. Lionel joins in and I'm sandwiched between the two of them. 

"Look its a light to dark sandwich." I say, pointing out our hombre hug.

"Katy...what are we going to do with you..." Lionel says, putting his hand on his forehead and laughing.

"What you always do! Put up with me for a whole season." I say winking and doing finger guns. "I'm going to go see what's going on out there guys. Catch you later." I say, waving. I stop by my dressing room to pick up my phone and my dog, Nugget. 

As I walk to where all the contestants will be waiting, I sense something. A feeling I've only ever had in a dream before... Like a connection. Like a pull. A magnet. I push it from my mind as I open the door to the room where the anticipating artists sit.

"OH MY GOD!" I hear someone yell.

"KATY PERRY!" Another one says.

"I must be dreaming. This is a dream, right?" I hear someone whisper.

"Hey guys!" I say, waving my free hand. 

"OMG NUGGET!" someone from the corner exclaims. I turn and blow a kiss at them. 

"Can we take a picture?" A girl right in front of me asks.

"Of-freaking-course. Thats why I'm here, beautiful." I say as I grab the girls phone and hold it up for a selfie.

{Wednesday's POV}

"Jesus, my heart is beating so quickly." I say as we ride up the elevator to the floor we were instructed to check in on.

"It's not even go time yet. You have to chill until its time or your nerves will get the best of you." Maggie rubs my back.

"I know...I know..." I say as the elevator door opens. We walk down the hall and to the right. As we approach the table for sign in, I see commotion behind it. 

"Name please?" A woman asks, smiling at us. I get a glimpse of someone taking selfies. 

"Wednesday Wheeler." I say, trying to determine who the person is. As the woman hands me my name tag and sticker, I get a full glimpse of her face. 

"MAGGIE! MAGGIE! ITS HER! ITS KATY!" I say, running past the table.

"HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT! LETS TRY TO GET A PICTURE COME ON!" Maggie begins to run closer and I follow. She squeezes through screaming people toward where Katy is.

"We can't push. Maggie calm down. Maybe she'll come to us!" I say, pulling Maggie back, trying to keep her from getting punched for pushing.

"Ugh...we'll lose our chance..."

"It's okay. If I make it, we'll get a selfie. I promise." I say. We step back and watch the commotion.

{Katy's POV}

"Thank you so much, Katy." A boy who I just took a selfie with says. I hand him his phone and smile. 

"No problem, lovely." I say. 

I pause in the crowd of people. I feel the feeling again. A pull. A push. Something from a dream. I look around. 

"Katy are you alright?" A girl asks me. 

"I'm fine...." I say, walking through a crowd of people. I look around for anything that could explain the feeling. Nothing. 

Then I see her. The girl from my dream.
