Bethany hung her head and tried to concentrate. This would be her 2nd attempt to get this right. She knew she could do this but it would take everything she had. She had trained all week and knew every single step as she should but still her heart beat loudly behind her ribcage. The music began and Bethany took her place at the side of the stage.

    Thank you everyone! The picture looked so sad that my wicked humour took over! Blue bear? No idea, just looking for a dressed up character and I pictured him!
