Code drop begins now. We will be having a creative writing contest for our next attraction, prize help/suggestions are appreciated, especially from employees. (:

[Apollo fon Friso]

I can't wait. But I don't think I got the charrie I wanted AGAIN!!!

[Jericho]

So no more editing Wes?

[Darkest.Nation]

Nope. Judges are judging, I have personally completed judging, I'm sure the others aren't far behind. (;

[Jericho]

Ok thanks!!!! Just wanted to be sure so I didn't change my post half way through!!

[Wesley]

We are just waiting on Breeze and Pix's opinions. I don't expect Pix's until morning with different timezones, but I'm not sure about Breeze. We do have some decisions already made though. (:

Edit - Good luck to everyone! Please take code drop chat [unless you have a question for me or another judge] to the fanclub.

By the way, just a head's up, I've edited the news post with the newest event/competition even though we haven't gotten a prize for it figured out yet. c;

Story:
I'm Cyra,a simple teenaged girl who lives on the coast of South California,near the beautiful beach,I'm blind.I've never been able to see how beautiful the ocean looks,or know how my Best friend,Carly,looks like,though I can hear the waves crash on the shore,and hear my mother's wonderful voice,I used to live in Wisconsin,but we moved here,going into a new school was hard,almost no one cared that I was blind,and would accidentally bump into them,Carly was the only one who noticed what a struggle I was going through,she stuck by me."Now,for this week I will be putting a Talent Show,everyone in the 'Drama Club' must join,anyone else can join if they want..." my Drama Teacher said,I was excited,even though everyone hated Talent Shows,since they do it almost every couple of years,"You have until next week to practice." she said as she left the room,even though I can't see,there's one thing I love to do,dance. After I headed home I told my mother "Mom!I'm going to be in the Talent Show!" I said she was setting up the table when I said this, "And what are you doing this year?" she said with a smile "I'm thinking of dancing." she dropped the plate on the table and said with a shock "A-Are,you sure,you want to dance,honey?" of course my mother was always worried about me,she was scared I might not see where I go and fall off the stage or something else that might have been stupid."Mom,just 'cause your scared I'll get hurt,doesn't mean I can't dance,will it comfort you if I had a partner?" she sighed "Yes." I ran into my room grabbing the phone to call Carly,I've memorized her number without having to see the phone."Guess What,Carly!" "What?" Carly said surprised "I'm going to the Talent Show,and I'm going to dance!" we both shrieked at the same time,"I plan on singing a song,along with playing my guitar!" Carly was talented,she could sing she could play the guitar,the piano,the drums,and the flute,she was friendly,but best of all,my best friend;I wasn't jealous on how she could see and do more then I,in fact, I was happy,she was a good friend,my BFF,she would never leave me,but she's going to be against me,is what I just noticed,I didn't mention this to her,but we kept talking for an hour it seemed,we were finishing when Mom called us for Dinner. I smelled her wonderful Pasta,she was the best cook.We sat down as dad closed the door,"Hi,honey." he said as he gave a quick kiss to mom,she replied "Hi honey." we started to eat "Delicious mom!" I said with my mouth full,even though I knew it was quiet rude.Dad agreed.So I began to tell him about the talent show,"So,Dad." I said,I misplaced my fork,Mom grabbed my hand to place the fork on the plate,she sighed,"About what,Cyra?" my dad said,"I'm entering the talent show,and I'm going to dance!" I said with excitement though it was kind of waring off."Dancing?!" he replied I heard a sudden silence,so I knew Mom was whispering,but I didn't want to mess anything up.We didn't talk about it since.

The Day Before the Talent Show

"Good-Night,sweety" Mom said "'Night" I said as I went over the covers to text Carly.

Cyra:K,c u 2morrow

________________________________________________

So as I said,I wasn't tired,I tried reading,didn't help,watching TV,nothing,so I mentally danced,thought of a routine,what kind of dance?Pop,Rock,Ballet,a love song even.I had a partner with me to preform the dance,after thinking so much about tomorrow,I finally feel asleep,I dreamed of dancing,not surprised...I got up,ate breakfast,my mom got me my bag "Good Luck!" she said as she walked me towards the bus,I walked in slowly,I heard everyone laughing,someone through a crumbled piece of paper at me,at least,I think so.I always sat in the back,so that's where I went,on my way,someone made me stumble,they all laughed,of course I didn't care.I knew a dance I would do,just for the auditions,Ballet,I was good at ballet,I hid,my ballet slippers,and outfit in my bag.The bus stopped harshly,luckily I was behind another seat,so I only hit the seats in front.I took deep breathes as I walked behind the large curtains,I was nervous,I thought to my self as I peeked through the curtians "Maybe there's not to much people?" but I was wrong THOUSANDS of people came,filled from front to back,I began to imagine all the possibilities that would happen,slip,forget a move,people would hate me,instead of roses thrown to me,I'd get the tomatoes thrown at me."Take a chill pill,Cyra!" Carly joked,as she grabbed me by the shoulders,she had hugged me,"Do what I do,imagine them all gone." I nodded not knowing whether she was still in front of me,or I just nodded to the wall."And now,for Cyra,who will be dancing!" the announcer said as everyone clapped,I pictured my mother shaking with fear holding my Dad's hand,hoping nothing would happen to me.I came out to dance,I knew every step,where to go,and everything.I finished perfectly,most of the people there had no idea I was blind,but they still clapped,possibly the loudest for me."You did amazing!" Cyra said as she gave me a big hug,"Thank you,Carly,and you as well,you sang perfectly,along with your guitar playing!" "And now,the 'winners' for the Talent Show." the announcer said,opening the envelope she opened it quiet loudly,"Sam in 3rd,Cyra in 2nd,and in 1st,Carly!Congratulations!" we all came out and saw the audience cheering,clapping,and whistling,we all received are trophies,after the Talent Show Carly came to me and said "You should have won 1st,Cyra." she said with,what sounded like,a guilty tone,"No!You should've,you did do better then me." I said with a smile,I heard no reply from Carly,I thought she had left,so my mother grabbed my arm and took me to the car,we talked about it all night,and all week.I was happy for Carly,even thought she felt guilty for me.We talked about that for what seemed a year.
