"Underneath It All": A Leonetta Fanfiction

Chapter 34- Roxy and Fausta

Francesca's POV

This was the many disadvantages of being best friends with Violetta Castillo. That girl would drag you into the craziest situations...

Kind of like my situation right now. As I was wearing a pink and blonde wig, I knew I was Francesca no longer. I had a new identity as 'Fausta'.

"Nice to meet you Fausta" Leon says shaking my hand as I was forced to smile enjoyably.

All the others knew what was happening and exchanged foul looks towards us. Some of our own friends think we're crazy.

"Um... So... You and Roxy are the new back-up dancers?" Maxi says slowly trying to process everything.

"Yup!" Vilu chirps. She attains her bubbly attitude as Roxy, while I tried fitting into my character 'Fausta'. Although, I hadn't been given a clue as to what her character was exactly...

"Um, yeah, so should we start?" I say in an American accent. Surely, that would differentiate me from Francesca.

"Of course, come this way." Leon guides us towards the main practice room.

"So I'll teach you the first steps of the dance... It's quite simple!" Leon offers leading me and 'Roxy' into the dance practice room. Even though we already knew it, we had to play along.

Leon started the music and showed off some of the first moves that we had seen and learned before. My whole body shook nervously as he danced. Will I be able to pull all of this off? I didn't know what I should have said after he was done.

I glimpsed at Violetta through the mirror and gave her a little nudge in the elbow. She couldn't possibly blow our cover more by gaping at Leon so intently...

"Uh- thanks for teaching us the steps!" I interrupted as Leon had finished and turned off the stereo. "But- we... Need to go somewhere!"

"We do? I don't think we need to, Fausta?" Violetta said turning her back towards Leon to stare at me bizarrely.

"Yes- we do, Roxy! We're busy today, remember??" I asked hoping she'd let this excuse go.

"Well, I don't! So I think we should stay!" She flipped her hair and smiled at Leon innocently, who seemed extremely confused.

"No! Roxy! We have to go! Now!" I demanded pulling her arm a little.

"NO!" She screamed. Leon took a step back as Violetta cleared her throat.

I raised my hands over my head as a sign of defeat. This girl was many things and most of them were synonyms of crazy.

"Yeah, both of you could practice more... Or.."

"Or?" I asked Leon hearing out his idea.

"You could join us, for the real show?" He asked looking directly at Roxy. "I mean- maybe you could sing a few lines?"

"W-we can't sing!" I quickly interrupted.

"Sure we CAN" Roxy glared.

"Great, can we hear your voices?" Leon asked.

"H-here?"

"We could go inside the recording studio, and put on some music for you?"

"Okay!" Roxy immediately obliged.

"Ugh..." I murmured as she dragged me out of the room.

Violetta's POV:

Maxi put on some music and whispered to me: "Do you really want to do this?"

"Yes! Now go stand over there!" I whispered back as he gathered behind the door.

Doing this was like auditioning all over again, except this time, Fausta and I were both singing.

I could tell Francesca felt nervous as "Junto a ti" began playing, but I tried to calm her down by singing to her.

(Song in Media)

I danced around the room and made the best of it. Surely, in real life, I'd never dance the way I did, but this was me being Roxy, and Roxy is completely different person.

I realized the song was ending so I quickly danced my way back to Francesca and made up an ending.

Maxi cut off the music and stared at us with his mouth open.

"So how did we do?" I asked smirking.

Leon began clapping and that's when a few others chimed in. We were surprised at the positive reaction.

"Amazing." Leon said finishing clapping.

I smiled at Francesca although she just shook her head.

(Narrator)

After the long day, Francesca had been waiting to take off the wig. She and Violetta slipped into the restroom as everyone else had left. When they walked out as their normal selves, they came face to face with someone they never expected to see.

Francesca: Gery?

Gery: Oh, it's you two. *she rolls her eyes*

Violetta: What are you doing here?

Gery: I came to see Leon, I figured since he wasn't home, he'd be here...

Violetta: Well, he just left, so we don't know where he is...

Gery: I didn't ask you where you thought he was, did I?

Gery sneered at Violetta and she stared at her shrugging.

Francesca: Well good luck finding him then...

Francesca and Violetta took their bags and walked past Gery leaving her alone.

Instead off going back to their houses, Violetta and Francesca hung out for the rest of the day. They went to a quiet park and rested by the lake.

Francesca: We can't keep doing this, Violetta... Don't you think Leon deserves you to be honest with him?

Violetta: I-I don't know... I know it's not the greatest plan, but I promise I'll make sure no one gets hurt in the end. I'm trying to fix the problem I started.

Francesca: Violetta, at this point, we both know someone will get hurt... And that person will just so happen to be Leon.

Violetta: Leon won't get hurt... There's nothing happening between him and Roxy... I'll get rid of her as soon as I can...

?: You will what?
