Creating My Dreams•A BYE Fanfic

Chapter 4

I click the finalize button and hope for the best.

I just turned in my video introduction for the FTT contest. To my family, it looks fantastic, to me it looks okay, and to Gary... Well he said its the best one he's seen yet. I know for a fact that he hasn't seen anyone's but mine so what he said is a lie. But either way, I'm excited to see what happens.

The videos are due by tomorrow so I just turned mine in early. Maybe it will help... Who knows. But I can't wait for the results. Here's how the contest works:

Ten professional bands or groups are selected to pick the ten best finalists, one of them hopefully being me. The ten bands then choose who they would like to tour with for a whole two months, during which your career will JumpStart and your career will be changed forever, in the best way possible. During the two months on tour you will have song writing sessions and by the end, you will hopefully have a full album to release. The first band to select who they want to tour with gets that group or person. So the faster they are the better selection they have.

I just hope I'm in that selection...

Connor's POV:

Today were finally on our way home from the Dangerous tour. Im sad its over but im happy I get a break before our next tour. We all had the time of our lives and it has been the best experience yet in my singing career.

Me, Toby, and Riley are on our tour bus just scrolling through our news feed on facebook. Ryan and Thomas already left to head home but they will be joining us again for the Fight to Tour Contest, speaking of which we need to decide on our decision by tomorrow.

"Hey guys, we need to decide on a winner for the FTT contest," I say.

"Oh yeah. I totally forgot," Toby says. "When's the deadline again?"

"Tomorrow."

"Oh. Well we should probably do that then..."

"Yeeah." I say sarcastically. Toby is always pointing out the obvious.

"I have an idea," Riley finally speaks up. "How about we split up all of the videos we are sent and split them between the three of us. Then we will choose our top three choices and when were done we come back together and choose our winner. Then we will get this done faster and we will all have an equal say in who we choose in the end."

"Okay," Toby and I agree. I get up and grab my laptop from the mini studio in the back room then head to my bunk. I really don't know what to expect. This is our first year participating in this contest so we don't have that much experience. But I hope whoever we choose has as much fun as we do while were on tour even, if we have no idea what were doing.

After opening my email from Riley, I find a total of 22 videos for me to select from, each around 20 minutes. This is going to take forever...

I finally decide on the best way to do this. Since part of the video includes an introduction of the person, I'm going to watch them first. If I end up not liking their personality, then I won't go on to see the rest of the video. After all, why would I want to tour with someone I can't stand?

I easily knock out 8 videos in the first 20 minutes, leaving 14 left. I begin to watch the full videos and some of them surprise me. These are actually pretty good...

After about another hour, I come across one video that I can't get out of my head. This girl is amazing. Her voice isn't forced, its natural. On the stage she looks like she's enjoying herself and what she's doing. Even as I watch the live videos of her, her voice is astounding. By the time I get to the recorded and edited video of her singing, I think I found my number one choice. I don't even bother to pick my other top two. I believe I have the winner right here.
