Samantha's Showcase- Part 5- Finale

Once Samantha had changed into her costume, she only had a few minutes to wait before it was her turn to perform. She danced her best, and the audience loved it! Samantha waved to the crowd.

 



Then she took one more bow before she exited the stage.

 



 

"Wow, Samantha! You were incredible!" Jess applauded.

"Mhhhm..." Jessica agreed.

"Thanks you two. But I think that now would be a good time to go confront Desiree about her taking my costume," Samantha said.

"Yeah, let's go call her out!" Jess was fired up.

 

The trio quickly found Desiree, who was still backstage,

"Desiree! We need to talk to you," Samantha told her.

"Oh, Samantha! Just come to tell me how AMAZING I was?" Desiree sneered.

"Far from it," Jess countered. "We're here to tell you that we know that you were the one who stole Samantha's costume!"

 

"What? Why on earth would I do such a thing?" Desiree feigned innocence.

 

"Because you didn't want me to perform in the showcase," Samantha said. "I know that you're jealous of me, but you didn't need to take my costume and hide it away."

 

"Yeah! Samantha has been practicing like crazy to get ready for this show! You deserve a sound thrashing for what you did to her!" Jess exclaimed. Then she lifted her hand and pointed at Desiree. "Jessica, GET HER!!!"

Jessica's eyes lit up.

"Oh, Samantha, can I get her??? Can I, can I, can I???" Jessica begged.

 



 

Samantha turned to look at Jessica's hopeful face.

"Yes, Jessica. You can get her," Samantha grinned.

Desiree's face contorted into shock. She certainly had not expected Samantha to endorse Jessica's violent punishment upon her.

"But don't actually hurt her, Jessica. Just give her a good scare," Samantha whispered in Jessica's ear.

Jessica smiled fiendishly.

 

 

"Uh... You don't need to punish me, Jessica, I've learned my lesson!" Desiree panicked and started to back away when she saw Jessica stretching out to kick her more effectively.

Jessica continued to smile evilly.

 

 

"YAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Jessica suddenly lifted her leg in a fake attempt to kick Desiree.

 

"AHHHH!!!" Desiree screamed in fear as she fled the room. This time, her arms were not raised in victory, but in defeat.

 

"Hehe..." Jessica nefariously chuckled, feeling good about scaring Desiree silly.

"Oh, Jessica! What would we do without you?" Samantha said.

Jessica shrugged.

 

"Thank you both so much for all of your help with my showcase! Even though there were difficulties, I feel like they actually helped make this showcase all that much more memorable." Samantha told her friends.

"I agree! This has been one of the most crazy, and entertaining, showcases I've ever been to!" Jess said.

The three friends came together for a warm, heartfelt hug.

 



 

Jessica pulled away first.

"Can we eat popcorn NOW???"

Jess and Samantha looked at each other. They both started laughing.

"Oh, Jessica!"

Samantha's Showcase- Part 3

The afternoon of Samantha's showcase, Jess dragged Jessica with her to the dance studio.

"Why do I need to go the showcase, Jess? I've been planning on going to the beach today for, like, a whole night!" Jessica protested as she hooked her thumbs in her pockets.

 

 

"Because, Samantha invited us to see her perform, and we need to be supportive friends. That's what friends do for each other! You don't see me or Samantha complaining every time we go to your karate matches, do you?" Jess pointed out. "Also, you should have known that we were coming here today. You were there when Samantha invited us and I accepted!"

"Yeah, well... I was kinda distracted..." Jessica looked down and leaned against the wall, thinking about the fantastic popcorn from the night before, and how tightly it had held her in its buttery clutches. "Mmmm..." Jessica rubbed her lips together.

 



 

"Ugh! Just please be good about being here," Jess said.

Samantha walked up to the girls.

"Hey, you two!" Samantha waved. "I'm so glad you could make it!"

Jess waved back while Jessica pouted. "I'm so glad we could come too!" Jess said.

"I need to get changed into my costume now. I'm needed onstage for a light check, and it would be best if I'm in my tutu for it," Samantha said as she crossed over to where her costume was.

 



 

"Wait... Where's my costume???" Samantha worried. The place where she had set her costume the night before was completely empty!

"Girls! I can't find my costume!! I can't perform without it!" Samantha panicked.

 



"Oh no! We'll help you find it. Where did you put it last?" Jess asked.

"It was right here last night," Samantha pointed out the spot.

"It was probably just moved. Let's take a look around," Jess suggested.

 



Samantha and Jess started their search in the costume department. But Samantha's tutu wasn't there.

 They continued to look through the entire studio, and even asked the other dancers if they had seen Samantha's costume, but no one had seen it. Samantha had to take a break from the search to complete the light check, but joined Jess again afterward. They looked and looked...

 



 

Jessica stayed against the wall and stared at the popcorn she had smuggled in her pockets.

 

After Samantha and Jess had looked through the entire studio, all three girls sat on the floor.

"I can't believe that we didn't find my costume! We searched everywhere!" Samantha said, discouraged.

"I'm so sorry that we didn't find it, Samantha," Jess said. "Do you have another costume you could wear for your performance?"
"No, it was the only one that I had," Samantha answered. "I'm not performing until the end of the show, so we can keep looking, but I feel like we've looked everywhere!"

Jess and Samantha looked down at the floor, completely disheartened.

Jessica looked at them.

"Popcorn?" she held out a kernel.

Samantha and Jess looked at the popcorn.

They sighed.

Samantha's Showcase- Part 1

On a cool fall night, Jess and Jessica sat down on their couch, wrapped up in blankets, and watched their favorite movie together- or rather, Jessica's favorite movie, the Karate Kid.

 

 

 Jess had made some delicious popcorn to go along with their movie, and Jessica was extremely grateful, since it was one of her favorite snacks.

"Oh yum, popcorn..." Jessica stared, transfixed with the beauty of the kernel.

Jess looked over at Jessica, slightly weirded out that Jessica was just staring at her food, and not actually eating it.

"Are you going to eat it, Jessica?" she asked.

 

 

That was when the precariously balanced bowl of popcorn fell to the floor.

"Oh goodness!" Jess exclaimed. "Jessica, help me pick up the popcorn."

Jessica said nothing.

 

 

Jess stood up and began to collect up the popcorn, while Jessica ate her kernel.

 

"You know, you really should be helping me," Jess told Jessica.

"But you do such a good job, I would hate to get in the way," Jessica responded with a grin.

 

 "Hi you guys!" Samantha said as she walked into the living room.

"Oh, hi Samantha! You look really pretty in that tutu!" Jess complimented.

Jessica had picked up another kernel of popcorn, and was once again infatuated with it.

 

"Oh, thanks! I'm just leaving for my dress rehearsal for the showcase tomorrow night. Would you two like to come and watch the show tomorrow? We have so many talented dancers that are going to be performing, and it would be so much fun if you can come," Samantha said.

 

 

"Of course we'll come! I mean, you come to all of my concerts, and all of Jessica's karate matches, so why shouldn't we come to your dance recital? I can't wait to see you perform!" Jess exclaimed.

Jessica stared some more at her popcorn.

 

"Oh good! I can't wait for you to see my dance! I choreographed it myself. Well, I should be going now. See you later!" Samantha started to leave the room.

Then she stopped and turned.

"Um, you do know that there is popcorn all over the floor, right?" Samantha asked.

 

"Ugh!!" Jess grunted. Jessica stared.
