Mid-Show preformance

I changed the Lyrics for my stories purpose but this is the tune

"You what?!?" Maria exclaimed after you told her of last night

"I told you Mars. I spent the night and left this morning, after he called me the name of the girl he's fucking."

"Oh don't look now, here comes one now." I looked up as Eve opened the door and took a seat at the counter.

"Hows the hand?" I asked getting her a slice of pie and cup of tea

"Good, hows the ribs?"

"Great."

"Listen, Elsa told me to come get you, she wants you to perform tonight and the show."

"What?"

"I guess Desiree told her about what happened and they have a plan for you to get back, now come on, we all know you can sing. She wants you mid show, this one time. Remember the girl's song?"

"yea Eve."

I couldn't help the memory creeping into my head, of the first night they performed it. Jimmy took me to the show, as we stood and watched the boys crowd around the stage, I couldn't help but smile at how good Dot and Bette were. That's when Jimmy took my hand and led me outside, after telling Dell he was making sure I got to the bathroom ok in the rain. We danced... in the rain, until it was his turn to go on. I think that's when Dess and Ethel saw it in my eyes that I really liked him, but they never questioned me on it.

"She wants you to perform it." Eve said, pulling me back to reality, "She had me and Paul put the flyers out this morning advertising you."

"Well let's go I guess." I smiled as I raced from the diner and into the truck that Paul was driving.

"What are you doing here Lecia?" Jimmy asked, "I went to the diner and Maria told me you left with Eve."

"You are looking at the mid show performer tonight." Elsa snapped, her german accent made it sound harsher than she meant it. "Now go away until the show tonight."

"Yes Elsa." he said looking at me with hurt in his eyes, time to hurt him back a bit.

"He out there?" Ethel asked, she didn't mind us doing this, she was more upset about the name slip then anything

"Yes Ethel, he is leaning on his pole as usual." Paul spoke up as she finished my hair.

Elsa had lent me her one of her old dresses for the show, very shiny and form fitting, while Ethel put my hair in an updo and I applied my makeup. It was almost time, I could hear Dess stepping across the stage as I hurried to the mic, everyone else was in place, but me.

"Now I know you all came to see the freaks tonight, but we have a treat for you all, she is very near and dear to our hearts, from the town of Jupiter I am pleased to present our heart throb."

I heard the curtain open and the light hit me as the band started to play. I looked at Jimmy, who shot me a quick smile before I started to sing, the boys already crowding around the stage.

"I've been a Bad, bad girl,

I fell in love with a delicate mannnn,

and it's a sad, sad world,

When a boy will break a girl just because he can,

Oh help me but don't tell me to deny it,

I've gotta cleanse myself of all these lies,

till he's good enough for me"

My eyes shifted to the man on the pole, who now could see why I was performing, why I was singing, and boy did he look hurt. His eyes shifted towards Elsa, who just glanced at him and smiled, then turned her attention back to me, smiling even bigger when she saw me smile.

"I've gotta a lot to lose and I'm betting high even though I'm gonna lose,

So before I do just tell me why you did ohh ohh ohh,

All you need is a good defense,

Cause you're just a criminal,

and you need to be redeemed by the one you sinned against,

Because you're all I ever knew love,

yeahhh what you need is a good defense,

Cause you're just a criminal,

and you need to be redeemed by the one you sinned against,

Because you're all I ever knew of Love-ove-ove-ove -love"

As the music ended I looked up at Jimmy again, flashing smile as the crowd hollered, the curtain closed as I squealed with glee, Eve picked me up in an embrace as the rest came out of the back to congratulate me. I was rushed to the backstage area, where Ma Petite stood with a huge bouquet of lilies and other flowers.

"For you Lissa." She said behind the flowers.

"Oh guys you didn't." I took them from her as Dess throw an arm over my shoulder, "Like I said darling, near and dear to our hearts."

She kissed my cheek before the rest of the troop rushed me to Elsa's tent to change, however Elsa stopped us at the door.

"Wait, Alicia, how well do you know my introduction song?" She asked

"By heart Miss Elsa."

"Good, you're our closer too."

"What?"

"Go get 'em darling."

I watched her walk away, and looked at my friends in shock, "Did she just..."

"Come on let's get you on that rocket." Eve said, pulling me towards the rocket.

"Just sit there the whole time." Paul instructed as he helped me on, "The dress will make it hell to get off so when we pull you off I'm sure Eve can lift you off."

"Knock them dead." Ethel said as the band filled on stage, the crowd already going crazy.

As I was dragged center stage on the rocket, I looked for one face, but never saw it.
