Ashlyn and Kourtney made their way onstage for their audition, and some people clapped as they all sat in the audience."Okay," Ashlyn said breathlessly. "This is an original song I wrote about...Nerd-alert! — The power of friendship. It was originally written as a solo, but then that was wrong, so I wrote it for three people, and we'll be singing for two."
Nadia felt bad that she couldn't sing with them, but she had been preparing her own audition song for a while and she couldn't just abandon it.
"Amateurs," Nadia heard Lily whisper in front of her since she was sitting behind her, and it took everything in Nadia to not kick her chair.
"Wait!" Gina shouted out, getting out of her seat and running up to stage.
"Are you okay, honey?" Ms. Jenn asked her.
"Sorry," Gina told her before she faced Ashlyn and Kourtney. "Is there still room for a third?" Gina asked them and Nadia quirked a smile.
"Do you know the song?" Ashlyn asked.
"I was curious, so I spent the afternoon kinda studying it," Gina admitted. "It's brilliant."
"Get in line, Tercet," Kourtney told her and Gina walked over to Kourtney happily before EJ got up and began to set up the boombox on stage for the music.
"Whenever you're ready," Ms. Jenn told them.
"Oh, just one thing. Uh, picture all of us in sequined jumpsuits," Ashlyn told her and Ms. Jenn nodded. Nadia covered her mouth with her finger to keep from laughing at her friend's excitement. "On a light-up dance floor," she added quickly. "In an abandoned warehouse."
"Very Spice Girls meets Drag Race," Carlos commented.
"Exactly what I was going for when I wrote it," Ashlyn said. "Hit it!"
EJ tapped on his phone, which was connected to the boombox, and the music started to play.
Kourtney:
Yeah
Ooh
Okay, ladies, now I'm ready for the spotlight
No doubt about it, yeah, I think it's finally my time
See my name shine bright, lightin' up the sky
I'ma get it, I'ma get it, I'ma get itKourtney sang as she danced in the front with Gina and Ashlyn slightly behind her. Gina then stepped up to the front.
Gina:
Okay, ladies, yeah, I'm usually front and center
But friendly competition isn't always better
I'm takin' one step back, there's more fun in that
Yeah, let's show them what they're missin'Kourtney, Gina, Ashlyn:
What's the secret recipe, recipe?
Mix the spicy with the sweet, with the sweet, yeah
When we get together, there's nothin' better than
One, two, three
One, two, three
Power individually, 'vidually
Let's take that to infinity, finally, yeah
Look at us together, there's nothin' better than
One, two, three
One, two, three, yeah
