Okay, second chapter! This one will be of Aria Blaze, my favorite of the Dazzlings! There is literally no reason why she is my favorite, so don't ask. On with the story!

Aria stomped moodily out of the bar she had just quit her job at. This was her third failed job of the week, and she was starting to run out of options. But she viewed quitting the bar was a good decision. The guys there just could not keep their hands to themselves. She turned and slumped in a nearby alleyway, sighing as she flopped on to the pavement. What the hell am I going to do? she thought. She couldn't go back to all-too-demanding-leader Adagio or that idiotic Sonata. No. She had to find a way to live by herself, with absolutely no one else's help. This was going to be hard. It had been so easy before, to just hypnotize any random person into giving what they wanted. Now, she was powerless, broke, and helpless. Crap, Aria, you've got to get up. You're strong. You are brave. You are independent. She stood up and checked her surroundings. There was a trash bin nearby. She checked inside of it to see if there was anything thrown away that could be of use. The only things salvageable were a half-eaten pizza slice, an almost-empty carton of orange juice, and an apple core. She ate this like it would be the last thing she would ever eat, which, it probably would be if she didn't hold out. She wiped her mouth, satisfied with her meal. She walked down the almost-deserted street. The only people out at this hour were teenagers running home as fast as they could, hoping not to be grounded by their parents. Still looking at her surroundings, she spotted a flyer on the ground. She picked it up. On it, it said "Help Wanted. Singer. Come to this address" She could't believe it. The audition date was tomorrow. She contemplated it. Should she do it? She hadn't sung without the intention of hypnotizing anyone since... never. The act they had put up when their amulets broke was to mask the fact that at the time, they couldn't use their magic, but their voices were still as they always had been. Aria checked the address. It wasn't too far away. She decided to walk there tonight, so she could be one of the first ones there. She walked to the place and waited, desperately hoping that she could get in.

She woke up the next day when a flurry of leaves snapped at her face. She looked up at the sun. She could tell by the sun that it was still quite early in the morning. She got up and went to a public restroom. There, she splashed water on her face, fixed her hair, and cleaned the dirt off of her clothes so she could look at least mildly presentable. With a fast-beating heart, she entered the auditioning area. It was in a bowling alley, with a table at which sat three people, two girls and a guy. The one in the middle had green, short, spiky hair, and had large hoop earrings. "Can I help you?" she asked.

"I saw the help wanted flyer. I'm pretty sure I'm the best at singing, so let's just get this over with," Aria said, her voice full of attitude. Being a singer for many years, she knew a thing or two about acting.

The girl on the left smiled. She had violet hair and blue skin. "I think I like this one."

Aria noticed a DJ that she knew by the name of Vinyl Scratch was on the side of the room. "What song do you want to sing?"

"I think you already know," Aria said.

Vinyl nodded, understanding. Aria went up to a microphone in the center of the room and began to sing as the music played.

Oo-oh-oh Oo-oh-oh,

You didn't know that you fell,

Oo-oh-oh Oo-oh-oh,

Now that you're under my spell.

She sang the rest of the song, feeling very good about herself. She had never sung an actual song just by herself before. She was usually just a background singer. It felt great to be in the spotlight, other than Adagio. When she finished, the judges clapped. "Oh, I thought you looked familiar. You're that Aria girl, right?" said the girl on the left.

Aria looked slightly to the floor. "Uh, yeah?"

The guy on the left with the red mow hawk rose and smiled ecstatically. "Oh my gosh! We're your biggest fans! I'm Crimson Napalm, it's great to finally meet you," he said, shaking her hand.

Aria shook it, surprised. "Um, well, I didn't know I had fans," she said.

The girl on the left stood up. "Don't have fans? You're the favorite one of the Dazzlings among the punk rockers! Heck, all punks! I'm Mystery Mint, it's a pleasure meeting you."

I have fans? I'm the favorite Dazzling? Aria thought to herself. The girl in the middle finally stood up. "I'm Lyrock," she said smiling. "And I think you just landed yourself a position in the band."

Yeah, this was a very short chapter, but I'm in middle school, and with middle school comes classes, homework, clubs, etc. Also, I had to stay after school because the school play I'm in is in, like, a day. Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter! Review, follow, favorite, share! :)
