Avery hesitated for a second, hand poised to knock at the door marked "Talent Show Auditions". She had almost talked herself out of it when the door opened and she was left standing face to face with the show coordinator.
"Uh... hi," Avery smiled. "I was about to chicken out, but I guess... I'd like to audition?"
The woman chuckled. "We've had a few people like that. Come on in, I'm Jenna."
Avery followed her into the room, closing the door behind her. "I'm Avery - "
"Hanson," Jenna finished, nodding. "You're quite famous around these parts, you know?"
"I am?"
"My son was in Ga'Revali with you," she told her.
"Oh," Avery nodded. "Fair enough."
"So, what do you have to show me today?" Jenna asked.
Avery gestured to her guitar. "I guess... a song?"
"Don't look so nervous," the older woman laughed. "You'll be fine. Just... when you're ready."
Avery pulled her guitar out of her case and took a deep breath. She started to play her song, her voice quivering at first, then getting stronger.
She finished and took a another deep breath, shyly looking up at Jenna.
"You're in," Jenna smiled. "Definitely."
