A/N: Hello my fanfic friends! Another songfic for ya. ET by Katy Perry. BUT!
*IMPORTANT INFO*
Don't read this until you've listened to the Alex Goot cover. This is the song it's based on, not Katy Perry's. He is the definition of amazing. I'm leaving out two lines from the chorus cuz I don't think it'd fit with this story…so…enjoy! :)
SPECIAL THANK YOU TO her-eyes-fiery-pinpricks for beta-ing this! You be epics. :D
P.S.—this is a scene from book one. Right after the bike scene with Maleficent and Amanda used her push for the first time in front of Finn…Finn's POV…OKAY NOW YOU CAN ENJOY.
You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil, could you be an angel?
We had just crashed into a figure dressed in black at the skate park. Amanda and I, that is. We linked arms and struck the black figure while riding our bikes. Then…Amanda said something…it sounded like a foreign language. Then she thrust her arms forward at the figure and it flew backwards
Your touch, magnetizing
Feels like I am floating, leaves my body glowing
There were so many unanswered questions about Amanda. She's been acting strange lately, like she possesses a secret. Maybe she does. What do I know about girls? But…there's something about Amanda that's not like the other girls. It's this…pull towards her that feels as natural as gravity.
They say be afraid
You're not like the others, futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
I'd heard things about Amanda before I met her. Also, quite a few sorted stories, most of which had her labeled as a freak, outcast, or weird.
Her being a witch was definitely possible. Or, at least, we were close to one. I'd been thinking in rhymes. She'd told me it was one of the…signs…of witches. Either her or the black figure.
You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
Amanda was definitely different. I'd known that before I asked her to help me. But now, after meeting that Jez chick, she'd been acting up. Like she knows her.
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
What do you know? I thought. There was definitely something she was hiding. It was completely obvious, even though she'd denied it every time. "Nothing's wrong," she'd tell me.
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
There was something about Amanda that was compelling. Alluring. I wanted to know what went on inside her head. What are you thinking? I thought as she rode away from me.
"We've got to split up," she told me.
Mystical, is what she was.
Girl, oh, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Everyone was uninterested in girls.
Girls. Middle school made them seem like a different life form, which was true, for Amanda in a way. Not the whole girls-have-cooties different. But maybe…a fairy? A witch? I wondered what explained her super powers…
Extraterrestrial
You're so supersonic
Wanna feel you powers, stun me with your lasers
Everything about her just seemed…different. It was like she could sense when something was going to happen. When we were at school, and she had twitched right before our DHI's had a brownout, affecting us here on the real side.
She knows a lot about minds…
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic
You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
They told me to stay away from her. "She's nothing but bad news…" Like Dillard said, "Amanda is a girl. Have you lost your mind?" I thought the same thing that I did when he first asked that question. Maybe I have…
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
Always, since preschool, it had been drilled into my head that "girls had cooties." Still, I don't like girls. But there's something about her… There's this force drawing me to her. As she pedaled away from me, I automatically pedaled faster and faster, trying to catch up to her. Then I slowed, and further she went. I was unable to see her as she slipped behind a row of houses, going onto one of the residential streets, probably trying to lose me.
Girl, oh, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial
I couldn't help but feel that she was pushing me away from her.
Who are you? I thought. What do you know that you're not telling me?
This is transcendental
On another level
Girl, you're my lucky star
Did Amanda have a connection with the Overtakers? We had a theory that Jez was with them, but Amanda was a whole other story. I mean, it seemed like she knows, or at least knew her. But Jez didn't act the same way.
I wanna walk on your wavelength
And be there when you vibrate
For you I'll risk it all
Could I—dare I say it—have a crush on Amanda? Even during our first, technically, real conversation on the monorail, I felt something just…click between us. Maybe it had to do with romance, or maybe it didn't.
I wonder if she felt the same…
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim, ready for abduction
Girl, oh, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
But, there's no way she's human. Witch? Alien?
If anything, she was at least a little different. But, overall, I'd call her fairly human.
