=Exposition/Inciting Incident=

“Hey Ashley and Stacey! Did you guys hear the announcements about the talent show?” said Kristen as she started a conversation in the loud hallway. “Yeah, I heard them! What about you Stacey?” said Ashley. “Yeah! Here’s a fantastic idea, how about we all do it together since we are best firends in all?” Suggested Stacey. “That sounds awesome, we are just starting 6th grade and this will be our first talent show!” agreed Ayana and Stacey! “ But guys I think we should start practicing today.” Explained Stacey. “Ok, I have nothing to do at all today, I am as free as an eagle.” Exclaimed both Ashley and Kristen. “ You’re as free as what?” questioned Stacey with a confused look on her face. “An eagle!” Yelled Ashley. “O, sorry I couldn’t hear you because the hallways are so boisterous.” Explained Stacey. “So you guys let’s go to Panera Bread and then my mom will pick us up from there.” Said Stacey. They walked to Panera Bread from school that day in the blistering cold. So when they got to Panera Bread it was so quiet you could’ve heard a pen drop. Panera smelled so good, it reminded me of my mom’s cooking. When I dropped my quarter in the corner, it was so clean they had no dust bunnies. Stacey and Asley both ordered chicken soup and Kristen ordered tomato basil soup.

“Guy’s, what song should we dance to?” questioned Ashley while looking around Stacey's huge basement. “Let’s dance to Bojangles.” Suggested Stacey. “ No let’s dance to No Air by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown because it's my favorite song.” exaggerated Kristen. “ No that’s too slow and stop being conceded!” Exclaimed both Ashley and Stacey. “Guy’s I got it! We should dance to Fuego by Pitbull because it's the right speed.” Shouted Stacey. “ Good idea and can I tell you something Stacey?!?” added Ashley. "Sure! What is it?" questioned Stacey. "Your basement is beautiful. I love this color pink and it is huge." "Thanks!" replied Stacey. "You think you gangsta cause you did time, well listen here gangsta, don't cross the line, ten cuidado con el fuego, ten cuidado con el fuego, ten cuidado con el fuego, ten cuidado con el fuego." sang Asley and Stacey. “I don’t think we should dance to that because it's mostly in spanish but whatever.” Mumbled Kristen. “Well majority rules and I think our spanish teacehr Senorita Martinez will really like it.” Continued Stacey. They were best friends at that point, but they didn’t know that was about to change. After they decided what they were dancing to they moved the furniture to the back of Stacey’s basement. So then they decided what song they are dancing to, so now they thought of some more hip- hop dance moves. Ashley and Kristen both put their ams out towards each other and held each others hands tight until they turned red and Stacey jumped on their arms and they walked her forward.Stacey and Kristen put their curly brunette hair in a ponytail after that dance move because they were getting sweaty. So as they walked down the staircase, it creaked with joy. So once they agreed to the song they were dancing to they all had to fit a day were they all could practice. Ashley and Stacey had an open day, but Kristen had to get her nails done because the old polish was chipping. So this is where the argument began. So they made up another date and Kristen was in the donut shop with her sister, so she lied and said her moms tire had more holes in it than a donut shop. So then Ashley and Stacey decide they want to do the dance by themselves because they were tired of hearing Kristen’s lies. "She is always lying and has no time to practice and the auditions are in two weeks." complained Ashley "Yeah so I think this will be the right thing to do. Hopefully she doesn't take it to hard." explained Stacey. The only problem is they don’t know how to word it to Kristen.

=Climax=

Stacey and I had a sleepover last night at her beautifull house and we thought about how we could word it to Kristen. We both ran downstairs from Staceys medium sized room to go eat breakfast. He room was covered with flowers and frogs. frogs wre her favorite amphibian. So Stacey and I finally decided we were going to call Kristen and try and break it to her softly but truthfully. “This is going to be like a crazy and emotional roller coaster. When we tell her we want to do it by ourselves she will be down then when she gets over it she will want to be our friend again because she will forget all about it.” Explained Ashley. We just sat there with a blank expression on our faces as the tasty everything bagels toasted in the kitchen. The kitchen smelled as yummy as a chocolate factory. “I think I know how we can tell her we want to do it with just us two.” warned Ashley. “How?” replied Ashley? “Maybe we can tell her we have different styles of dancing and she has no time for us.” Insisted Stacey “Yeah we should cause it’s the truth.” Added Ashley. So then they finally found a way to tell Kristen. So they called her from Ashley’s strawberry pink colored cell phone. When Kristen answered the phone she sounded so excited to hear from us. So I reported that Stacey wanted to talk to her. So Stacey thought I was going to explain so she gave me this dirty look. So I whispered to her, “Sorry.” So Stacey jabbered, “Kristen, we don’t want to be rude, hurt your feelings, or confuse you but Ashley and I want to dance by ourselves.” When she heard that she hung up without saying one word. With this happening Stacey and I felt bad. But, we had to do it cause if we didn’t she would be busy doing something else and she never had to practice. So we called her back once again to try to apologize but all we heard was whimpering. I went in the corner and started saying “ Sally sold seashells by the seashore” to try and calm myself down. I always do this because my sister taught me that in preschool and every since then it calmed me down when I am tense. So we never got a chance to talk to her again that day on the phone. “I feel really bad. But, I just know it had to be done and dealt with.” Whimpered Ashley. As her and Stacey finished their tasty bagels. “I hope she isn’t too mad at us.” Mumbled Stacey.

=Falling Action=

One sunny, warm, wet winter day Ashley and Stacey were walking to their towns library from school and they felt bad. But, it had to be done. This had to be done because Kristen would start rumors and get everyone to be against Ashley and Stacey. “Now she is getting really bad attitudes.” Explained Ashley. “I know and she keeps prank calling me and when I pick up the phone, all I hear is screaming and loud music.” Replied Stacey. “Here is a suggestion, next time she calls give the phone to your mom and tell her to tell Kristen to stop calling you.” Indicated Ashley. “She is just probably trying to get revenge instead of just coming to talk to us like she should.” Said Ashley. “Yeah, if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.” Exclaimed Stacey Both Ashley and Stacey started to giggle and became louder and louder each minute. Then it turned into a big laugh fest. Stacey laughed until she turned blue and Ashley laughed until she burst. BANG BOOM BOOM! Went Ashley as she hit the lunchroom floor. “Why does she keep looking over here and rolling her eyes? She reminds me of the devil” questioned Ashley. “I don’t know but it’s freaking me out.” Screamed Stacey. “She keeps making it seem as if we are the culprits.” Stated Ashley. “I know but she is the one starting rumors, she is the wrongdoer here.” Whispered Stacey. “When she was sitting and watching T.V. and we told her to get up because we were ready to practice, she would jus dawdle and move slow and take her sweet old time.” Mumbled Ashley. “I remember we used to relish good moments with her.” Moaned Stacey “Let’s just ignore all the mean things she says and does to us and if she continues we can just ask her politely if she can stop being so mean to us.” Suggested Ashley.

=Resolution=

"Ok so we made it in time for auditions!" exclaimed Ashley! "Yeah, I am so excited! The school is filled with so many students. It’s like half of the schools population who wants to be in the talent show. I am also inflammatory because I don't know if we will make it into the talent show." expressed Ashley as she worried about Stacey's fear. "Stacey don't worry we will make it. Just keep practicing your solo and we will be fine." replied Ashley. “I smell fear in the air.” Giggled Ashley. "OK, thanks, your such a good friend and really know how to make me fell good and not so worried." marveled Stacey. “No problem that’s what I am here for.” Explained Ashley. So after she had heard that from Ashley, Stacey kept practicing and practicing before the auditions so she could get it perfect and each dance move sharp. Beep, eep, bleep went Ashley’s pink strawberry colored cell phone. There was also a text that appeared on the screen when she picked it up. The text read, “I don't think I can do this.” So Ashley texts her back and said, “ retrieve some sense into yourself. We have come too far not to participate in the talent show. We have practiced as long as it took for them to end slavery and we put fun things like the dances and dates off to the side so we could practice.” We made up our own dance through thick and thin and injuries and such. So Ashley and Stacey both took 5 deep, calm, and serene breathes to calm them selves down before they auditioned. As they walked into the school auditorium they looked at each other and smiled and whispered “good luck!” They learned how to trust and care for one another and realized that honesty was the true key to friendship.
