About a year has passed...

Me and Dad still talk about what happened way back when but it's different now, me and Dante are still together we had your ups and downs but we are happy together. My mother can't see me ever again, everyone is moving forward, but I am the only one who wants time to stop and enjoy what I have right now in the moment. Alex tries me out for more new shows and we haven't heard back from any but one that was in development but wanted me in for a table read, Alex and Dante were both at the table read. The musical was a movie adaptation of a movie called "Mrs. Doubtfire" I never heard of it, but the directors wanted me to read for the part of Lydia, Dante for Christopher, and Alex was for some of the male adults. I noticed someone that I have seen before but never knew where.

"Hey Cait! It's Rob," I thought 'Oh Rob from when he and Kerry watched me when I was in hospital' Rob carries on in the background and then snaps me out of my thoughts "Anyway who are you reading for?"

"Oh um Lydia. How about you, who are you reading for?"

"Me, I'm reading for Daniel and Mrs Doubtfire."

"Cool... well see you at the read!"

"Yea, Bye Cait good seeing you!"

I looked at my dad in shock and he was even shocked that he remembered you after a whole year.

Time passes we do the reading and the directors liked me for a potential Lydia, they said they would get back to me if they wanted me to do any more reads. Turns out they did want me do more and more reads and they ask me to audition, Rob hears about me auditioning and decides to talk to me more.

"Hey kid, congrats on getting an audition."

"Thanks."

"I can tell they really like you, you may actually get the part."

"I hope so, but I really like School of Rock. I'm going to miss it when I leave."

"Well you still have time to do that and this is still in production."

"Thanks Rob."

"Oh I nearly forgot, give this to your dad when you see him, say you are also invited! Just don't open it, it's a surprise." He did the "shh" motion as he walked away. I was confused but finally caught up with my dad after the reading and auditioning.

"Hey dad Rob wanted me to give you this." I pass the white envelope to my dad as he opens it up. It was a wedding invite for later in the year. Us two were shocked, Rob and Kerry are getting married! We go to the theater to get ready but I notice the directors from Mrs. Doubtfire is here to watch me perform. I started to get really nervous because this may make or break my future. The show goes well and the directors are backstage waiting to talk to me, they said they loved my performance and wanted to play the role of Lydia. I was so excited but that meant I had to leave the show in a few months. I started the countdown till I had to leave I was sad yet happy that I was going to be in a different show. Sad because I won't be working with my dad, but happy because I can express more of my talent to other people. About a week has passed and before every show I have been working on Mrs. Doubtfire. I remember that everyone was ready to move forward but I wanted to stop time, but I was ready to move forward and a sudden realization hit me... I was the one moving forward and everyone else was standing still, I fell silent for the rest of the day. I felt like a train with one destination, I wanted to stop and enjoy the scenery but the train kept going and wasn't going to stop till it reached its destination. Time passed and today marked the start of my last week at School of Rock every day different people from cast to crew got me going away gifts, a lot were cards but some were actual gifts to help me act and sing better. (Time skip) Today was my last performance, everyone was sad to see me leave, my dad was proud of me that I was moving on and growing up. We had a going away party and just had fun the last day.

I guess part two for your Doubtfire adventure...

AHHHH!!! Im so happy to finally have this done!! Once I start getting more ideas for a squeal I'll start as soon as I can and keep you updated!! Im so glad you enjoy this but thats all I have to say See Ya guys in the next story!
