It's been a long, impatient couple of weeks here at Christi's, but last Wednesday Christi finally received the item that has long been gossip of Elizabeth, Ruthie and Samantha - Molly's stage!!!
"Me, Ruthie and Sam all knew it would come! We have our ways, you know. We're absolutely NEVER wrong. Molly didn't believe us, but gossip has once again proved true!" Elizabeth Cole confides in me the afternoon the stage arrived.
This reporter decided to talk to Molly and Emily about the arrival of this exciting new item while Christi was busy putting it together.
Q: Molly, are you excited about the stage's arrival?
A - Molly: Well, yes, I guess so. I mean, I can't really imagine getting up there and performing on it...Suppose my glasses fell off, or Julie tripped me or laughed at me?
A - Emily: What Molly means is, it's been a long time since she was Miss Victory! But I'm sure she's quite excited to get back up in the spotlight!
Q: So, Emily, do you enjoy the stage, too?
A - E: Well, I've had the opposite effect to Molly. Back in Jefferson, I was too shy to perform with Molly, Linda and Susan, but I feel more comfortable here, and can't wait to perform for all of you!
Q: And I can't wait to watch the two of you! So, what exactly do you guys enjoy doing? Acting, singing, dancing...?
A - M: Watching movies.
A - E: Molly! She meant ourselves! Molly can do all three! She's a triple threat! I enjoy tap dancing, but I can't really sing, since my voice hasn't really matured yet. I would love to try acting, though I don't know how good I will be.
Q: Will there be any sort of kick-off show?
A - M: Heavens, no!
A - E: Perhaps. We'd have to practice a lot first.
Suddenly, Annabelle, the older sister of Elizabeth interrupts this interview with some breaking news.
"Well, I think a little kick-off contest is in order! I, myself, am quite the triple threat, and would just love to get up on that stage! Of course, I will give you plenty of time to practice. How about having the contest on Christi's birthday? It will be a wonderful gift. What do you say?"
Emily catches Molly before she can faint, and announces, "We'll do it, Annabelle Bananabelle! And we'll beat you and Julie for sure!"
Well, I see this stage will only be bringing more and more excitement as time goes on! Farewell, my friends! I have to go see if Felicity would like to do an act together for the contest.
