Actress in the Making?? :-D (Part2)

........Waiting for my turn, I was still hoping to master the script. A few minutes later, the floor director call out, "Next!". I looked around me and to my surprise, it was my turn!

Getting on stage, my hands and knees were shaking and my heart was beating so fast that it felt like I ran a mile or two. "This is it. All eyes on me. I'm so dead! ", I thought. I heard whispers down stage, fingers were pointing at me and moments later, the floor director yelled, "......and action!".

It started out pretty good. I was doing well until I forgot some lines about half way through the first page. o_O

I paused.

Everyone was in silence, waiting for me to continue. I was sweating so hard and my heart was beating a lot faster. I was in complete mental block!
I didn't know what to do that tears started rolling down my eyes.
The only words that came out from my mouth were,
"Crispin! Basilio! Give me back my kids!"

I kept saying that over and over and guess what?

Everyone applauded! I even got a standing ovation. haha. Everyone praised me when I got off the stage and told me that I was as good as my father during his days. To my surprise, not mastering the script was actually a good thing ;)
