Banana

"Ms Marinda, you are up in 10 minutes", came the voice from behind the closed door followed by a soft rap.

"I'll be right out", she said loud enough for him to hear.

She looked at herself in the mirror. Yes, it looked good. The crowd will love it. She adjusted the grapes, the berries and the apples. It's the bananas she was a little concerned about. Maybe she should have just used one. But five is her lucky number and yellow her lucky colour. She moved her head to check if it'll stay.

She let out a deep sigh. Today she was the opening act for this sold out stadium. Her turn to be the main act will come. She believed it. She had heard whispers that the crowd was over 3000. And some others said it was closer to 4500. It didn't matter. Even if there was only one person, that person would get the best darn performance of his life.

She moved her head again. "Ms Miranda, you are needed now. Back stage please."

She opened the door and walked swiftly to the the side of the stage. She peeked out at the crowd. She could feel her nerves. She took another deep breath as they called her name.

She stepped out into the spotlight and everything after that was a blur. The music started, she was singing, dancing, caressing the crowd with her song and dance. They loved her. One day closer to being the main attraction. The song was almost ending. She was ready for that last move she'd been practicing. Step, step turn, step and bow.

She heard the cue. Step, step, turn... and as she was turning, she got her biggest smile ready to shine. She then felt her hat slide to one side and something dropped. And her last step, her heels stuck into something soft. Then slippery. She felt her right leg getting away from her, slipping and sliding and there was no stopping.

Plonk, she was on the floor, in a split! The crowd cheered. They were standing up and clapping. Is this a standing ovation? For an opening act? That smile that had unknowingly turned into a grimace, morphed into grin. She heard the host walk up, ""Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Ms Cardomond Marinda!!!!"

The cheers were so deafening, and just for that moment, she forgot she couldn't do a split. She didn't know how to get up. She stretched out her arms above her head in her final pose and looked around at the crowd, wanting it to never end.
