(The song in the media is the song Kimura sings.)

The competition has started and I anxiously wait my turn with the other boys at the table.

The auidence claps as the 3rd act finishes his act.

"That was one big instrument..." Russell says still staring at the empty stage and I put a hand on his shoulder.

"It was a tuba, they're really heavy." I say sighing. There are 12 acts all together, 10 instrument players and 2 singers. The order is 5 instruments, then a singer and repeated.

"I'll either be the 5th act or the last one." I say to the guys to clear things up and they nod their head in understanding.

"I hope you're 5th, I really wanna hear the song your singing." Thomas says smiling cheefully, aw this kid can cheer anyone up.

"Alright thanks Thomas, I want to sing even better now." I say smiling and he smiles back.

"Its okay Miss Kimura!" Haha he's so adorable. The next act is a beautiful lady in a golden dress playing the violin.

"Her music is beautiful." I say admiring her.

"Not as beautiful as ya." Nathan says and I can't help but crack up.

"Haha that was so cheesy Nate!" I laugh quietly so I don't disturb the others listening. Nathan blushes furiously.

"Shut up, I was tryin' to compliment ya." His cheeks go even redder. Oh my gosh, I'm keeping the laughter in by covering my mouth with my hands.

Soon enough the lady and the act after is finished, I stand up so I can go up to the stage for my turn.

"Wish me luck guys." I say and they all say quietly in sync,

"Good luck Kimura." I smile and head up to the stage.

I walk up the stairs and go onto the stage, I stand behing the closed curtains and try to calm my fast pacing heart. You'll be okay, no one will laugh or yell at you... your fine...

Just then all the guys smiling faces pop into my head,

Thomas

Russell

Christopher

Captain

Eduardo

Nathan

...You can do it, do it for them!

"Now up for the the next act, Lady Kimura singing a song she wrote herself... His Daughter." They announce my name and the cutains open to applause. There are people sitting all the way to the back of the room, oh calm down, calm down. I look over to my table and see the guys there, smiling.

All right!

I nod my head to the piano player and he starts playing as I start singing.

<Song: His Daughter, Mary Kate Kestner>

Everthings gonna be alright, she whispers to herself

she was only 6 years old that night, as she hid behind that shelf

Cause daddy had a little too much to drink, and mama didn't want her to feel the pain...

she felt... but she still felt the pain.

Well 10 years they came and went, and dad was gone

so she looked for love in other men, and tried to act strong.

Oh broken hearts and scars in only places she could see

she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something.

so as she sat there on her bed, thinking bout what those girls said

tears stream from her eyes, she cried.

If theres a god out there, please hear my prayers!

Im lost and Im scared and I've got where else to go.

Ive come a long, long way, but I'm not sure I can make it much farther...

So if your listening, well could you give a helping hand?

To your daughter.

Well her path started to change, she reached out and grabbed gods grace

and finally she saw a light...

until the night

where she decided one drink was alright, and one thing led to another.

Well next thing you know 9 months go by she's a mother....

And as she laid there in that bed, stroking that small angels head,

tears stream from her eyes, she cried.

Oh if theres a god out there, please hear my prayer!

Im lost and Im scared, and I have no where else to go.

I've come a long, long way but I'm not sure I can be the best mother...

So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand?

To your daughter.

Well that baby, grew into a boy, who became her pride and joy.

He loved her like no man could and her heart felt peeace cause she finallly understood...

Gods love.

So as she laid there in that bed, 99 years old.

She grabs her sons hand and says 'theres something you must know...

There is a god out there, who heard my prayer,

I was lost and afraid and I had no where else to go.

I had no clue, what to do...

and then he sent me you.'

So if your lost and afraid and you feel so alone,

don't worry child cause theres a father who will love you as his own.

Just like he loved his daughter

like he loved his daughter...

<End>

I have tears streaming down my face as I finish the last word. As soon as it's over the crowd burst into applause. All the guys are smiling and standing up while applauding, oh my gosh that makes me wanna cry more! I take a bow and walk off stage. I get back to our table and sit down.

"You were amazing!" Russell says,

"Fer ya to write a song like that... thats impressive." Nathan says smiling.

"Not bad woman." Eduardo says smirking, he should really shut up.

"Here." I stop glaring at Eduardo and look in front of me, Christopher is holding a hankerchief out to me with a generous smile on his face.

"Thank you." I dab away the tears and smile at him.

"Kimura!" I hear a familliar voice behind me, I turn around and see Barry there.

"Oh Barry, hi."

"You're performance was fabulous, but your makeups everywhere. Let me fix that." He says looking, for his make up through a bag.

"Uh Kimura, who is this?" Russell asks and I look at him.

"My makeup artist, Barry." I say and Barry looks up and smiles.

"Hi." He says and finishes up my makeup quickly. The rest of the competition goes smoothly.

"Right. Now is Kates song." I say and everyone looks curiosuly at the stage, the curtains open and there is Kate standing there. She sings a weird song aboout wishsing if your girlfriend was hotter than her or something. <Song: Don't Cha, The Pussycat Dolls>

"Well that was... something..." Christopher says, scratching the back of his neck after she's done.

"Talk about dramatic.'' Russell says stunned, he's literally leaning all the way back in his chair.

Kate walks from the stage back to her chair proudly, okay she's trying wayy too hard right now.

"It's voting time, now everyone look under your chairs-" The announcer says and eveyone follows and picks up something stuck to the bottom of their chairs.

"This is your voting sheet, circle whoevers name you want to win." The announcer says and I become anxious once again. As an act I cannot vote but I know they guys will help me... hopefuly.

A lady comes around with a bin and everyone puts thir voting ticket inside.

"We will now count the votes, please come back in 20 minutes." The announcer says once all the votes have been taken, me and the guys go outside for some fresh air.

We talk outside until we are called back in for the announcement of the winner.

"I wonder who will win?" Nathan says and we nod in agreement while walking in. Oh my, who won...?

We sit down at our table and wait for the announcer to come out. After about a minute a lady steps out.

"Thank you all for coming and for all the performers. Tonight was wonderful, and truely a night to remember but unfortunatly there can only be one winner so..." A man walks out, hands her a red envelope and bows before leaving.

"The winner tonight is..." We all lean forward as she opens the enveope but soon her eyes are widened with shock.

"There's a tie!" She says turning the sheet of paper around.

A tie!?
