NATALIES POV*

I woke up to Skylar screaming into the phone.  I sat up groggily, and looked over at her, waiting for her to shut up; it was too early to be screaming.

When she saw me awake, she screamed in my ear, "We are performing for the Fall Festival!"

At first, I had to contemplate what she had said.  I mean, I thought our little band was good, but not good enough to be performing.  Apparently, I was wrong.

I started to get excited, and soon I was jumping up and down alongside Skylar.  "This calls for celebration!" I squealed.  "Get dressed Skylar!"

I ran to my room, and immediately turned on some music.  I quickly changed out of my pajamas, put on a pair of skinny jeans, a long beige cardigan, and some floral ballet flats.  I serenaded to my hair brush as I brushed my long, knotted hair, and threw it into a messy bun.

I grabbed my purse, and skipped to Skylar's room.

"ARE YOU READY YET?" I yelled obnoxiously loud.

"PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!" She laughed from inside.  "I'll be right out, I need to invite Angela."

I pranced down the hallway, and peeked into Addie's room.  She was still asleep; she must have been really tired from her late night.  She and her parents had gone to visit some family friends.

 Finally, I heard Sky open her door, and we walked down the stairs together.

Sky left a note to her parents, telling them where we were, and then we drove away to Angela's house.

********************

We ate at a cute French bakery that Angela saw as we were driving by.  After we had filled ourselves, we headed to the mall, which was only a few minutes from the bakery.  After many hours of shopping, we each found the perfect outfit (and ended up buying many other unneeded things).  Angela settled on a bohemian looking hi low dress that was mint green, and Skylar found a red sweetheart dress with a gold skinny belt.  I purchased the most beautiful vintage dress.  It was cream colored, with lace ruffles down the skirt.  The middle was synched by a green satin ribbon.

Shopping trip: Success!

**********************

I nervously fiddled with my hair as Skylar, Angela, and I waited to perform.  We were going on in five minutes, and the clock couldn't be going slower.

We were all dressed and accessorized, waiting backstage.

Angela looked gorgeous, the mint green dress accenting her fiery red hair, which was in bohemian looking waves.  She wore gold hoop earrings and her lucky charm bracelet on her left hand.

Skylar, stunning as usual, donned her sparkly red dress, and was wearing a bow necklace and matching earrings, and gold heels.  She left her hair down in their natural waves.

I had on my cream dress with the green ribbon, which Angela said brought out the green in my eyes.  I had on my lace flats, and my golden locket, which had a picture of my parents in it.  I set my hair in its usual curls, and a braided headband.

We were performing 'I'm only me when I'm with you' by Taylor Swift, one of Skylar's favorite songs. 

"Can the band 'Saving Angels' please come on stage?" We heard the announcer say. 

I wiped my sweaty hands on my dress, and tried to hide my stage fright.  I looked over at Skylar, who was also looking really nervous.  Angela however, was grinning, and almost ran onstage.
