"I'm a producer for Mad TV and I was wondering if you two would wanna audition for the show," the woman said. "Oh-I'm Diana Burke."
"We'd love to!" I exclaimed.
"You two are very funny-excellent chemistry. I'm guessing you are very close friends."
"Yes, we are," Rainbow confirmed.
"We love that kind of bond between the actors and actresses in the cast. I can almost *guarantee* you two spots on the cast," Diana said.
"Are you serious? Oh my gosh," I replied.
"Just give me your phone numbers and I'll get back to you on audition times and such," Diana said.
And so we gave our cell phone numbers to her and then she was gone. Rainbow and I hugged each other in pure excitement.
"I gotta call Lance," I said, plucking my phone out and dialing his number.
"Hello?" Lance's smooth deep voice answered.
"Lance?"
"Hey Osh. You sound excited-what happened?" Lance asked.
"You were right, Lance! There was a producer here tonight and said we were awesome and we're auditioning for Mad TV!" I exclaimed.
"Oh my gosh sweetie! That's so great! I'm so proud of you!" Lance said. My stomach did a little flip flop when I heard him call me sweetie.
"Thank you! We are so excited Lance. I can't even *tell* you how happy we are."
"You don't need to-I can hear it in your voice. Oh-JC's calling Rain right now," Lance said as Rain's cell phone rang.She picked it up and began gushing to JC.
"Oh gosh, I can't believe *any* of this is happening!"
"I'm so happy for you, O. Justin wants to talk to you...Hello?"
"Hey Justin."
"Hey girl, what's up?"
"I"m auditioning for Mad TV!"
"No way! That's awesome, O! You rock!"
"Thanks, J."
"Of course. I'll have to watch it every Saturday night now that you two are on."
"Um, J-we're not on *yet*."
"Yet-but you will," Justin said. "Aah! Okay okay-Joey wants to speak...Hey hon."
"Hey Joey," I said.
"I hear you're gonna be on Mad TV...great job, O!" Joey exclaimed.
"We're not *there* yet! We're just auditioning."
"You'll make it-trust me."
"Okay Joey. I'll do that."
"I'm serious-trust me Osh. I'm ninety eight percent accurate," Joey said.
"What about the other two percent?"
"Um...we don't need to worry about that..." Joey replied. "Okay, Chris wants to talk to you now...Hey Osh!"
"Hey Chris...heard the news by now I'm guessing?"
"You and Mad TV? Of course-news travels fast around here. That is so great. You guys are gonna be *awesome*."
"Thanks-I really hope R and I make it on the show. That would be so great-I've watched Mad TV like forever."
"So then you'll know exactly what they're looking for...it won't be too hard...ouch! *Okay*! *Geez* JC...O, JC wants to talk...Hey!"
"Hey JC...Rain told you already right?"
"Of course...this is so not hard for you two. You'll be there in no time."
"I hope so."
"Oh don't worry about it, you'll be great, they'll love you and boom-you're in. Have no fear Osh. It'll be okay...hey! I want my phone back! O, I'm gonna talk to Rainbow now...here's Lance...Osh?"
"Hey Lance."
"Do you know when the auditions will be?"
"Nope, the producer has to call us about that...I hope they're soon."
"You still doing Romeo and Juliet?"
"Yup, for about another week. Why?"
"Just wondering how long my girlfriend will be making out with another guy."
"Lance!"
"I'm just joking sweetie. Just joking. I totally trust you...I just don't trust that Craig guy."
"Why not?"
"They way he looks at you, that kiss he gave you *after* the play, *off*stage-"
"Which I pulled *away* from-did you see that?"
"Of course I saw. I just think he's gonna ask you out in a short time."
"And what do you think I'll say?"
"I hope you'll say 'No, I have a boyfriend, sorry Craig.'"
"Guess what? You're right."
"Good. We're going to TRL tomorrow-Carson is *bound* to ask us if we're going out with anyone. What do you want me to tell him?"
"Umm...whatever you think is best."
"Osh, come on-should I let the teenyboppers in on it or not?"
"Yeah, I guess you should. Before the tabloids and teenybopper magazines begin speculating or something."
"Okay. Well, I better go, but I wish I could talk to you all night."
"So do I, but we both have stuff to do tomorrow that we need to be rested for..."
"Yeah. I miss you Osh."
"I miss you too. Lots of kisses, Lance."
"Many more back. Okay, I gotta go now. Bye!"
"Bye!" Then the dialtone sounded in my ear.
Rainbow wrapped up her conversation with JC and smiled happily. "Osh, I am *so* happy. For once, everything is going right." |
