Problems in Paris
It was early Sunday morning when Dolly heard a knock at the door, “Who is it?” Dolly yelled across the house.
“It's agent Joe! I know it's your day off, but I have some very important news to share with you!” He said walking in with a big smile on his face.
“Just a second let me put this in the oven, make yourself at home.” In just a few minutes Dolly walked in with a big excited smile on her face. “So what’s the big news?”
“Well,” He started with a worried but hopeful face. “I got a call from someone in Paris and they want you to do a benefit concert under the Eiffel tower, but I told them that I would have to ask you, that i couldn’t make that kind of decision without asking you first.”
Dolly sat there with a blank expression on her face. “I don’t know,” Dolly started. “I guess I could, but what is the benefit for?”
“Its to raise money for a cancer research facility,” he answered. “We will leave tomorrow around noon… is that enough time to get packed and ready to go?”
“Ya thats fine.”
She got her bags all packed and waited anxiously all night. Finally she heard a knock at the door. “Who is it?” She asked even though she already knew.
“Its agent Joe, are you ready to go to the airport?”
“Just a minute, let me get my bags.”
When she opened the door Joes face went blank with shock, she had packed 3 enormous suitcases for a one weekend trip. They got the limo all packed and they were on the way to the airport.
When they finally got there they got out of the plane and into the limo. “This is Paris?” Dolly said with a disappointed face “this looks nothing like the pictures you showed me on the plane!”
“Hold on and you will see what you saw on those pictures.”
As the limo drove around the corner and parked in the hotel parking lot. “We need to get unpacked and then we will go for a little ride, ok?” Joe asked.
“OK,” She grumbled. “Hurry tho, the concert is tomorrow and I want to see the place I’m going to sing at before I actually have to go on!”
“OK. OK. I’m going. I’m going.”
“Are you done yet? I’m ready to go!” Dolly yelled impatiently.
“Just a second let me take this call, and I will be right out.”
About 3 minutes later she seen him walk out of the hotel with a strange look on his face. “Who was that on the phone?” She asked.
“It was the director of the concert, and it seems that she has made a mistake. She told me that the concert was tomorrow at 6:00 PM, but its actually tonight at 6:00!”
“What!” She screamed. “It’s already 4:30. That means I only have a hour and a half to get ready and be there! I had better get going.” An hour later she had just got done getting ready.
“Come on lets go we have 30 minutes to got there and it is a hour drive,we are going to be late,” Joe yelled into the room.
“I’m coming,” She yelled running out the door then down the stairs.
She was warming up her voice in the limo, so she didn’t have to waste any more time then she need to, when she had an awful voice crack. “What was that?” Joe asked concernedly.
“I don’t know,” She started to answer. “I bet it was just because i’m excited, thats all.”
When they got there, they had to go through a series of processes to get in. Then she was finally behind the big red curtains with thousands of fans behind it, and she looked up to see another 200 people standing on the Eiffel Tower looking down at her. She walked on to the stage and thought to herself ‘I got this. I will be fine. I will do great.’
She was sing her new song when suddenly “And as graceful as the stars that grace the *sqeek*”
The whole crowd stopped and stared at her with a blank but shocked face. Dolly dropped her mic. and ran off the stage. She had never messed up on stage before. She felt like a complete failure.
“What happened?!” The nurse in the back of the stage ran up to her. Her name was Monica.
“I don’t know, when I was in the limo I had a really bad voice crack, but it didn’t seem like anything major.”
The nurse made Dolly go to the hospital. “It appears that you have strained your vocal cords to a bad extent,” Doc. Taylor Lautner said.
“Is there an fast cure that I can do immediately?”
“Well, there is one surgery that you can do and be singing normal by tomorrow night at the rescheduled concert!” He spoke with excitement. “But, there is a chance that you may never sing again.”
“What is the percentage is the chance?”
“It is a 25% chance.”
“Well, I think I will do it. I dont want to disappoint my fans, even if it means I will never sing again.” She proclaimed. “When can you get me in?”
“We can get you in now if thats ok.” Doc. Taylor asked.
“Ya shur, thats fine.”
About 3 hours later, Dolly came out of the operating room, and she had a big smile on her face. Joe wasn’t sure weather it was from the surgery or if she has had tried her singing and it was ok.
“What are you all smiley about?” Joe asked.
“My voice back, and better than ever!”
“Well, it looks like you can sing tomorrow then!”
They went back to the hotel and they ate and they went to sleep. When they woke up it was already 1:00 pm.
“Dolly get up you have 5 hours until the concert. That means that you have 4 hours to get ready because it takes an hour to get there.”
When they got all ready to go and left, there were fans all lined up on each side of the road chanting out her name. She was so shocked to see all those people cheering for HER.
When they got there and she was standing behind the curtain, she didn’t think she could go out on stage. Then out of nowhere a little girl walked up to dolly, who had her head down, and said “you can do this you will be fine I promise!”
that gave dolly the confidence to go out on stage and she took the little girl out with her. After the concert was over she said that, that was the best concert that she had ever performed.
