A black high-heeled leather boot catches your attention. The camera pans up slowly, sure it was probably only a lame shoe commercial, but you stuck with it. A porcelain perfect pin encased in deep scarlet whale net tights and you feel your channel surfing may have finally paid some dividends. A quick cut to a pair of perfect lips being delicately bathed in blood red lipstick. You reasoned that it was probably still a commercial, probably aimed to sell you some extravagant luxury you probably never could afford even if you wanted to buy it, but you had to admire the persistence of the advertisers, they knew how to grab your attention and hold it. The view then shifts back to show you the reflection of a stunningly attractive blonde that you knew and recognised instantly, not only from your dreams but from NCW and more recently from IWF television this past week. As far as you were concerned it was a crime that she hadn't been hired yet. Whatever she was selling you you were more than prepared to buy, whether you had a use for it or not was suddenly irrelevant.
Oh hello Miss Starr...
You think to yourself with a cheesy grin, but as the camera pans further back, you blink as something is not quite right. The mirror had lied to you. How the hell was that even possible? Not only is the mirror that greets you different, but so is the reflection as she greets you.

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!
Ha, fooled you! The look on your face! Priceless! Absolutely priceless!
How did I do that?
Magic.
You do still believe in magic, don't you? Of course you must! I love a good magic show! You know what I love even more than magic? It's the circus. The Hall Of Mirrors was my favourite because what you saw was never what you got....hey, what's the matter? Don't look at me like that! What do you mean you don't like being lied to? What do you mean you were expecting an Addisyn Starr promo? Awww I'm sorry I tricked you. We're still friends aren't we? Good. Besides I'm just as pretty as Addisyn Starr...
What's that, you think I'm prettier?
Awwww, thank you, you're so sweet! See this is why we are friends.
I promise we'll have a good time - we did last time, didn't we? Seriously, though I'm glad you came back, I knew you would...because we're friends and that's what friends do. I was expecting you. I knew you were coming over to hang out. I was getting ready. I wanted to look my best for you.
You see me spin around in my chair to face you and the camera with an innocent smile and a gleam in my eye.
Twinkle, Twinkle, little Starr...
How I wonder who you are?
Reaching for the sky
Like a diamond waiting to die...
What do you mean that's not how it goes? Huh? Really? How does it go then? Go on sing it to me. I promise I won't laugh at you....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm sorry, I said I wouldn't laugh, but your voice, it sounds so funny! I guess nobody will ever accuse us of being professional singers, not like Addisyn Starr. That's why I'm looking forward to her promo the most, I want to hear her angellic voice sing me to sleep just like daddy used to every night, and if she doesn't we can stuff a banana in her face and still get ratings. Won't that be fun? See I told you we'd have fun together...
Nightie night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite...
You know as much as the world doesn't understand me, I don't understand it. Why are you all so obsessed with being stars? What's so great about being a giant ball of boiling gas? I've been a star, quite a few times in my life in fact and it was no fun. Having my face plastered all across the news. All those nosy news ladies sticking a microphone in my daddy's face asking him what it felt like to be a hero for saving his little girl from the fire. Silly blonde bitch....I just want to go home! I miss my mommy!
Princess, that's not polite!
Sorry daddy!
But I'm not sorry to the lady from Channel Six and I never will be. Why doesn't she understand? Why can't anyone understand? Just leave us alone! Let us grieve!
Why would anyone seek out attention? Why would they want the attention? Why do you want the attention Addy? Why do you want all eyes on you? Why do you want the world to follow your every tweet and like your every facebook post? Are you really that alone? Is that why you have Baa Baa Black Sheep follow you around everywhere?
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir...
Three bags full...
One for the master and one for the dame
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane...
I got that one right, didn't I?
YAYYYYY! High five! Go me!
HeeheeheehahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHA!
Have you ever wondered Addy, what would happen to Mary if she didn't have her faithful little lamb to follow her everywhere that she went? Are you willing to make the sacrifice? Are you willing to do all that is necessary to enter the Imperial Kingdom? You've knocked on the pearly gates and I have answered. Your little lamb has lead you here but he has also lead you astray. To gain entry into my domain, you must first be prepared to die, are you prepared to die Addy? So many people before you and so many people after you will die chasing their wildest dreams. For that is the nature of your shallow little life as you have come to know it.
So young.
So innocent.
So full of hope for the future.
You want your star to shine bright, brighter still, you want your star to eclipse all others, but do you really understand what you are chasing? Do you know what lies at the end of your greatest ambition? All this time you thought you were chasing a new life when it turns out all the while you've actually been chasing death...
Huhuhuhuhuhahahahahahaha!
Oh irony you do have a sense of humour and you can always make me laugh, and you know what they say about guys who can make you laugh right?
You see me wink at you, and aren't quite sure what you should be feeling right now, oh well, at least you now have something in common with your precious Addisyn, think about that while you wait for her to come over, but I guarantee you she won't be half as fun as me.
Ahem, but I really shouldn't be flirting right now.
You see me clear my throat.
A star burns brightest as it is dying. You see Addy, death makes stars of us all. It made a superstar of my mom and it made stars of daddy and me, we were the ones with our pictures plastered all over the evening news, we were the ones being filmed as we watched the hunky firemen put out the blaze and recover what was left of mommy. What was left of mommy was just enough to fill a black body bag and daddy wouldn't let me see her, but I peeked anyway. She was still pretty. Prettier than I remember her in fact so Addy I understand why you want to be a star now, and whilst I cannot sign your contract, I can give you something just as good, a contract to enter Heaven and be the star you deserve to be. Then whilst you are dancing with the Angels, say hello to Mommy for me. You'll recognise her because she'll be the prettiest Angel there, and then while you're both twinkling like diamonds in the sky looking down at me, ask her if she's proud of me...
I hope she is.
With that you see me spin around a full three sixty in my chair.
WEEEEEEEE!!!!
When the chair spins back around to face you, I am gone. But not forgotten. Never forgotten. Because you never forget your friends and that's why I'll never forget you.
Ha, fooled you! The look on your face! Priceless! Absolutely priceless!
