Closing her eyes, Evangeline took in Damien�s words like a child would to a mother�s scolding. Emilio, the male she frequently sees and hears in her own head never misses an opportunity to give Evangeline a �wake-up� call. �Come on now, doll-face. He�s only trying to help. He is right you know so suck it up, now! Give him something to make him eat his own words!�

Taking her place at center stage once more, Evangeline stood and suddenly envisioned the seats of Eternal Bliss filled with more people she could ever imagine. They were all looking and waiting in anticipation for Evangeline to begin. Emilio stood behind her and whispered in her ear, �You see, this could be you, if you want it that way. All you have to do is have faith in yourself...� Emilio kissed Evangeline on her shoulder, and stepped away from her.

Smiling, Evangeline said in a voice so low only she could hear, �Thanks, Emilio. You�re right. If I want to make it, I�ll have to act more professional.�

When Evangeline looked up, all of the people had disappeared. There was no crowd, just Damien waiting for Evangeline to begin. This time, Evangeline was ready; she had never felt so confident. In fact, now she was craving for attention and wishing the vision of a full audience would come back.

Then she burst out into song, but this time not the sweet �Earth Angel.� It was a song that came out more than twenty years after �Earth Angel.� �Dream on� was one of the few Aerosmith songs she liked, but for some reason she felt much more confident when the words suddenly came out.

�Every time that I look in the mirror�all these lines in my face getting clearer�� Evangeline was glowing with radiance; she really did believe that she was a star. �The past is gone�it went by like dust to dawn�isn�t that the way everybody�s got their dues in life to pay�� She held this note for some time and continued even more loudly making sure to use as much of the stage as possible. �I know what nobody knows, where it comes and where it goes. I know it�s everybody�s sin, you got to lose to know how to win�� With Emilio�s help, she heard the melody in her head, and performed like anyone can hear it.

�Half my life is in books written pages, live and learn from fools and from sages. You know it�s true�all the things come back to you!� Gripping the microphone stand and leaning over it, Evangeline belted out the chorus. �Sing with me, sing for the years! Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears! Sing with me, just for today�maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away!!!�

Tossing the microphone back and forth Evangeline sang, �Dream on! Dream on! Dream yourself a dream come true!!!� Evangeline could hear Emilio yelling, �That�s right Evie! Give it all you got!� Mimicking the classic �Steve Tyler kick,� she continued to bellow, �Dream on! Dream on! Dream until your dream come true!!� After this line, Evangeline thought she heard slow clapping, so she stopped. �Was it Emilio?� she thought after she began to become aware of her surroundings�
