Chapter Two

"What are you still standing there for? You need to be on stage,now!" she heard someone talk to her. She felt a gentle push from her back and she was finally onstage...Her eyes widened in utter shock when she saw the audience infront of her. She felt like she's dreaming-she felt like she's in a 1940-ish kind of costume party because everyone's wearing something that could only bee seen in the old movies!"Are you alright,Miss Dawson? Was it a shock for you to be able to be picked as part of final three for this year's Miss Fleur de Blue?"She wanted to ask the host who the hell he was because she's quite sure that they had a different host---but her mouth moved mysteriously on its own."It's a bit of a shock for me,yes,but I am so glad to be part of the final three." Oh holy moly! It was not what she wanted to say! Why does she feels like she's being possessed by her grandma?The host's eyes sparkled in amusement,as he chuckled."Well,you're only one step closer to the crown because after this final question and answer portion,we'll announce the new queen.So are you ready for your question?""Yes,I'm ready." Is that really you in my head,Nana? What's going on? What do you want me to do? "Now here's your question...Why should you be the next Miss Fleur de Bleu?" the host asked.Before she could even construct a sentence into her head,her lips started moving rightaway."If I were to become this year's Miss Fleur de Bleu,I would do my very best to become to voice of all the generation towards gender equality. It's time for us to have equal rights when it comes to education,career,and salary.And I think this is the perfect time to do it." she said it all in one breath.Claire heard the audience clapping as if there's no tomorrow. It took few seconds before the crowd calmed down."Wow,look at that enthusiastic reaction from the audience! Very well said,Miss Dawson,you may stand at the side with the other lovely ladies." the host stated.Claire doesn't really know what's going on,but it feels like she's not in her own body."Just go with the flow,Claire..." she suddenly heard her Nana's voice from the corner of her mind."---What happened,Nana? Where am I?" Claire desperately tried to talk to her great grandmother.But she didn't hear her Nana's voice again. She feels like the time is quickly passing by...The next thing that she knew,the host is already announcing tbe winner of Miss Fleur de Bleu beauty contest..."And the new Miss Fleur de Bleu is---Miss Celine Dawson!"The crowd went wild. Everyone was clapping,sone of the audience were shouting her name...A certain woman was now putting the crown on her head,and the other one was giving her flowers..."Please take your walk as Miss Fleur de Bleu 1945!'Claire's jaw almost fell halway to the floor when she heard the host---How and why the hell is she in this timeline?!
