The sweat trickled down the back of Karma’s neck as she adjusted the microphone higher, excited butterflies fluttering about in her stomach. It was a nervous excitement, and no matter how many times she gets out, in front of so many people...she will always get those butterflies. Karma lifted her chin, looking out into the dark mass that was waiting for the lights to turn on. As the moments slipped beyond her reach...the butterflies dance away… almost as though they never existed in the first place.<br/><br/>This is it...Karma thought, drawing in a deep breath. Her eyes drifted back open, not able to penetrate the inky darkness...yet, seconds later, the pair blinked rapidly as a spotlight shot down from above onto the young girl. The resulting cheers were deafening, and it wasn't long before people began chanting the band's name. "Cosmic! Cosmic! Cosmic!" Pleasure filled her chest, making a rather smile curve her lips, and an endearing dimple reveal itself in her cheek. It may be a nickname...yet, it was obvious who these people were here to see. Us! Cameras flashed here, there, everywhere,<br/><br/>Oh...It was really tempting to say, 'Are you ready to rock?' but seriously...what a cliche.<br/><br/>Now that the light was no longer blinding, it actually rather...made the scene dazzling. Her mouth opened to address the crowd, and-<br/><br/><i>Beep! Beep! Beep!</i>What the-?! Karma looked around, hair moving about her shoulders as she did so. Where did that come from? It just...doesn’t make sense… Now brushing aside the thoughts, she turned her attention back to the cheering fans. This time, though...she didn’t even have to open her mouth. The noise came yet again...and it shattered the dream to little smithereens.<br/><br/>Karma jerked upright, all that golden hair a mess about her head, green and blue eyes wide, and her cheeks flushed pink. It was all...just a dream? she finally realized, only to feel crushing disappointment. Of course, it didn’t last very long...because really, it will only become a reality, sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. After running her hands over her face, she yanked the sheets aside to get ready for the day.<br/><br/>While the day had a...rocky start, it proved that it could, indeed, get worse. Karma glared down into her bowl of cereal, only to direct her glare onto the young lady sitting across from her. Leisha returned the glare with a sweet smile, before she began eating the bowl of cereal she had.<i>I can’t believe my parents abandoned me to go on a cruise…</i>Karma thought, more than a little ticked off.<i>Not only that...but I’m stuck with a babysitter! A babysitter! Just how old do they think I am? Five?</i><br/><br/>Luckily, Karma had a band practice...or else, this day would be doomed. However...how will she dodge the nanny cam? It doesn’t look like Leisha will fall for any of the usual tricks, though… Well, at least she can provide a ride. Who’s house was the practice at again? Was it James’ house...or Ash’s…? Oh, curse her bad memory!
