Bratz: Strange Reunion
Chapter 1: The Comeback Gig
Cameras were in the air, ready to film the show at the Stilesville Jam House. It would be Yasmin's first show in five years and she was nervous. She still had the same band she had, except they were older and a bit wiser. They still had their sense of humor though. Meanwhile, out in the audience, were Yasmin's friends, Sasha, Jade, and Cloe. They were there with Yasmin's mother and they hadn't seen Yasmin since she'd left five years before. They were really excited to see her. On the stage, Yasmin's band got in position to play. They started playing Yasmin's song, Beautiful Intentions. When the time was right, Yasmin ran out and the crowd went nuts. She stepped to the microphone and started singing. She sang:
I couldn't help but open my big mouth So blind that I Can't decide if you Knew that I harboured Never knew truly Beautiful intentions for me When they give you your identity So blind that I Can't decide if you Knew that I harboured Never knew truly Beautiful intentions for me Jaded with exhausting pressure So blind that I Can't decide if you Knew that I harboured Never knew truly Beautiful intentions for me I wanna know did I disappoint you So blind that I(So blind) Can't decide if you(That I can't decide) Knew that I harboured Never knew truly (That I never knew) Beautiful intentions for me (If you had beautiful intentions for me)
As I stumbled into you the words fell out
Well you asked me the question and I just couldn't lie
But why did you bother when you knew what you'd find
No no no
I didn't mean to leave you standing in the dark
Beautiful intentions for you
So cruel that I
If you harboured
Tell me will you recognize yourself?
You're so influenced by the things that you hear
Down with the smoke screen to make everything clear
Oh oh oh
You gotta learn to live and take it in your stride
Beautiful intentions for you
So cruel that I
If you harboured
So blind
So blind
So blind
So blind
Will I feel like this forever
Faded inconsistent pleasure
Wear me down wear me out
Jaded with exhausting pressure
Will I feel like this forever
Faded inconsistent pleasure
Wear me down wear me out
Beautiful intentions for you
So cruel that I
If you harboured
It still hurts to mention the words that were spoken now
I wanna know, are you contemplating
The beautifully intended yet tainted impression of me
Beautiful intentions for you(if you knew I had beautiful intentions for you)
So cruel that I (And it's so cruel)
If you harboured
The end of that song went right into another, then another. Between the third song and fourth song, Yasmin asked the crowd, "Did ya miss me?" The crowd went wild. "Thought so," she said. "Well, I'm back, so are you ready sing it loud and proud?!" The crowd went nuts again. "Okay," Yasmin said. "Let's hit it." The music started to her song, Never Say Never. She sang that one and then another. She sang most of her hits actually. When the last long was over, she said, "Okay everyone, thank you for coming. My new album hits stores next week. Hit me up on Twitter and MySpace and Facebook, everything! See ya later." She waved to the crowd one more time, then went backstage. "We did a really wicked job." said Greg, her guitarist/vocalist. "I know right," Yasmin agreed as she picked up a cold bottle of water. "It was so much fun. I had forgotten what if felt like." "It's so good to have you back." said Mark, her keyboardist. The other members of the band, Max, Seth, and Paul, all agreed. They all shared a group hug then let go. "Knock, knock." said a voice. Yasmin turned around to see her mom, stepdad, and sisters. "Hey guys," Yasmin said. "What did you think?" "It was wicked, sis." Emily said. "It really was." Elena agreed. "Can we come in?" asked a voice. Yasmin looked and what she saw shocked her. It was her friends, Sasha, Cloe, and Jade. "Oh my God," she said. "It's been so long." "Yeah!" Sasha exclaimed. They hugged eachother tightly. "You rocked it girl," Jade said. "You still got it." Yasmin smiled and said, "Thank you very much. You guys look really wicked." "Wicked, Yas?" Cloe asked, puzzled. "Something I picked up in New York," Yasmin explained. "It's a really fun word to say." "Well you were wicked." Sasha said. Yasmin smiled. "Is it all gone now?" Jade asked. "Yeah," Yasmin answered. "Everything's gone. I'm one-hundred percent healthy again." "That's really good." "Yasmin." said a voice. Yasmin looked out again. It was Timmy, her friend from college in New York. He had come all the way out just to see her. "Hey," Yasmin said throwing her arms around him. "You made it." "Yeah I did," Timmy said, wrapping his arms around her waist. "I told you that I wouldn't miss it for the world." They let go and Yasmin introduced him to everybody. Timmy had gone to the Help-A-Friend Academy in New York too. He had a problem with cutting himself. He was healthy and in college like Yasmin now, and they were really, really good friends. "There's my princess." said a voice. Yasmin looked and saw her dad, with his girlfriend and her daughter, and their twins. "Daddy!" Yasmin exclaimed. She threw her arms around her father. "Hi sweetie," said Enrique. "How have you been?" "Dad," Yasmin said. "We totally gotta catch up. I haven't seen you in so long." "I know honey, I know," Enrique said. "We'll have to have lunch together soon." Yasmin smiled and hugged Lisa, her dad's girlfriend. She also hugged Lisa's daughter, Jessica. "Yasmin," said Enrique. "Since you left before they were born, I want you to meet your twin half-sisters. This is Lily and this is Lianne." "Hi." Yasmin said. "Hi Yasmin." said the two little girls. Yasmin hugged her twin sisters. She was really glad to finally meet them. "You were really cool up there." Lily said. "Yeah." Lianna agreed. "Thank you." Yasmin smiled. She got up and said, "Well, mom I'll meet you guys at home. Me and Timmy are going out for a couple drinks." Her mother gave her a puzzled look. "I'm legal now mom, remember, I'm twenty." Yasmin said, rolling her eyes. Her mother smiled and everyone left out, even the band. "Ready?" Timmy asked. "Yeah," Yasmin answered as she grabbed her jacket and bag. "I'm ready." "What are you drinking?" Timmy asked as they started walking out. "Nothing with too much alcohol in it," Yasmin said. "I'll probably get the bartender to make me a Bellini." They left out and went down to a local bar.
It was almost one in the morning and Yasmin and Timmy were having a really good chat. Neither one of them were drunk, because they had been drinking Bellinis, which were really low in alcohol. "This is fun." Yasmin said. "It is," Timmy agreed. "Are you ready to go home?" "Kinda," Yasmin said. "More like I better. Mom will be worried sick." She rolled her eyes at that. Why was her mother so over protective? She was twenty years old now, practically taking care of herself. "Come on," Timmy said as she left their empty glasses on the counter and paid for their drinks. "Let's go. I'm tired too." They laughed and headed off.
"See ya later," Yasmin said as the car stopped in her driveway. "It was fun tonight. Thanks." She and Timmy shared a quick hug then Yasmin got out. She waved at Timmy then went inside. She thought no one was up, when she heard a, "Hi Yasmin." "Crap." she thought. She turned around and saw her mother and stepdad, sitting in the living room. "Hi." she said. "Where have you been?" Joey, her stepdad, asked. "With Timmy at the Rondale Pub," Yasmin answered. "And before you ask, I'm not drunk." "What did you drink?" Elena asked. "A few Bellinis," Yasmin answered. "They're low on alcohol." "Don't stay out like this anymore." Elena said. "Mom," Yasmin said, rolling her eyes. "I'm twenty. I'm an adult, I can stay out like this if I want to." "But you're not setting a good example for your little sister," Elena said. "She's only thirteen and doesn't need to know that it's okay to do this." "I've been home for one day," Yasmin said. "And I'm already getting fussed at. Can't you understand that I'm an adult now?" "Now, now," said Joey. "Your mother's right Yasmin. You're setting a kind of bad example for your sister." Yasmin scoffed and went upstairs. She slammed her door behind her. She changed into some PJ's and went to bed.
