"Try that note again please, Elizabeth."

Elizabeth fidgeted where she stood. Her voice teacher played the note for her again. She nailed it. Again.

"Very well, Elizabeth Lee." Her voice teacher said.

Elizabeth sighed. Trying to make it into the business from this small heck of a town in Louisiana was no easy task. Nobody was realizing she had talent! It was so unfair. Nobody in that town had an ear for music.
Elizabeth had moved to Louisiana from Williamsburg with her fraternal twin sister Felicity, when she had been 3. Everyone marveled at the two sisters and how they were nothing alike. Felicity spent 80% of her day outdoors, and had stunning green eyes with auburn hair that shined like a firetruck when it hit the sunlight. As for Elizabeth, she spent 80% of her day singing, dancing, or acting. She had blond Barbie hair that reached just above her butt, with eyes blue like the sky. God knows how they had turned out to be twins.

Every day at school, Elizabeth got jostled in the halls and as soon as she turned away from her locker with her books for the next class, a 9th grader would pass by and shove the books out of her hands, sending the papers and pens flying. Nobody understood Elizabeth's love for fame. Everyone in Elizabeth's school wore the same school jacket or the same faded jeans or the same Aeropostale polo - meanwhile she expressed herself out loud with celebrity perfumes, vintage denim skirts, and Hollister tee's that she ordered specially off the internet, paired with tall dark chocolate boots. Elizabeth was always leaving school to go to auditions - the other students never appreciated it. They thought she was the weird musical one. Always.

Felicity had always stayed at the house every day to be homeschooled, so Liz never had her tough & tougher sister at her side when the bullies were at their worst.

By age 10 Elizabeth had almost had enough. Her vocal world was crumbling, her grades were falling, and meanwhile, her sisters homeschooling skills were exceeding standards. So when Liz's caretakers got fed up and then left with most of the girl's belongings, Elizabeth made her escape. She grabbed her most precious things, took her sister's hand, and together they walked to the nearest bus station, and later found themselves on a train to the American Girl factory.

It took a little bit of time, but finally Elizabeth and Felicity were paired up on the list to go to a home.

On a Christmas Day in 2006, an overjoyed brown-haired girl found herself surprised to not only open ONE thin and long AG box, but TWO.
