Clausia wasn't confident.

But if she had to do it, she will. This performance could be the most important to her in her life.
Her guitarist friend beside her nodded encouragingly, her other singing girls gave a grin and the leaving drummer, Uni, gave her a thumbs-up.

Clausia felt guilty, realising how stupid a friend like herself could be when she didn't even tell them her secret despite the loyalty and and trust they had given her. Especially Uni, the drummer that had always been with her for years.

The curtains lifted. I promise to make this performance a perfect one for you guys, Clausia thought, seeing the audience clap in response. The row of judges at the front stared intently at them, and she spotted Miza with her friends somewhere behind.

"Cry me baby..."Clausia started, in a sweet and melodic tune. She heard the guitar strum once, then twice. Then drums crashed later.

She gave a sudden rock voice, yelling the lyrics as she felt her powerful voice crash all around the hall.
Perfect, Clausia assured herself in her head, everything's going well. The pitch is better than ever.

Clausia continued with the bridge, hearing the guitars strum in tone and the guitars creating a good beat. The other singers behind sang the echo lyrics in perfect unison. Miza's brother, who was sitting on a wheelchair, gestured her an 'OK' hand sign, impressed.

"Last Good Night....."Clausia burst into the chorus, giving the loudest voice she could.

"That Last Good Night....You said everythin's all right, all right...!!"
Everyone broke into thunderous applause, even the judges. They were excitedly talking amongst themselves, which gave Clausia a surge of energy and comfidence to continue on. She could do this.

She beautifully went into another of her high-pitched parts. She went higher, and higher, till she thought she was already at her brim. But she pushed on, flying to the top of the highest note nobody could achieve. Her lungs felt like it was in her throat. Everyone threw up in wild screams, calling out her name.

"Watashiwa anatawa daisuki nanda."
She ended.

Everyone cheered. She done it. All the judges nodded in agreement.
After Clausia got out of stage, the main judge went up to her."That was MARVELOUS! Tell you what, I actually want YOU to come to my studio and do your VERY OWN ALBUM!"
Before Clausia could say anything, she was dragged away from the judge.
