(A/N Ok so I was listening to this song when a great idea hit me soooo here it is! The song is Where is the love by the Black Eyed Peas. And I don't own IMAA)
Melody's POV:
The Party was going great until Melody heard an argument brake out between her grandfather and Obadiah Stane and her dad. Dad and grandpa were on the same side of course. They were arguing about weapons again. The whole crowd of people at the party started to notice and was now watching the scene.
"Howard! Tony! You can't just shut down the whole weapons-"Stane was cut off by my dad. "Yes we can Stane!" Stane puffed up and said "The Company will lose so much Howard!" Stane was looking at grandpa. He didn't like Stanes idea either and said "Forget it Obadiah!" people around began to murmur and wonder about the troops who were fighting. My dad and grandpa were looking around nervously and Stane looked smug like he won. Oh I better do something fast! Melody thought and an idea hit her.
Narrator POV:
Melody went up to the Dj "Hey Mark can you do me a favor?" Melody asked the DJ looked up and smiled. "Sure Mel what do ya need?" Mark asked Melody smiled and said "Go take a break" Mark smiled and got for his break. Melody soon took his place and look for the song she wanted. Soon she found it pressed play and turned the volume all the way up.
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Everyone turned their heads and saw Melody with her feet up on the DJ table smiling.
And soon everyone was listening to what the song was saying.
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism But if you only have love for your own race Madness is what you demonstrate People killin', people dyin'
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Tony's heart swelled with love and pride for his daughter. He smiled wide and fist bumped Rhodey who was close by. He let the song continue.
Father, Father, Father help us Where is the love (The love) It just ain't the same, always unchanged Nations droppin' bombs
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
Howard was impressed with his granddaughter. She wanted the fighting to stop and turn into something good. Obadiah wasn't taking it very well and was escorted out of the building by security.
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug People killin', people dyin'
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
The party was now back into full swing and everyone was happy and dancing, laughing, talking and enjoying themselves.
Father, Father, Father help us Where is the love (The love)? I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love, the love, the love?
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Melody got off the stage and went to where her family was standing smiling and listening to the song she put on. Pepper smiled at her daughter and hugged her. "I'm so proud of you!" Pepper whispers in her daughter's ear. Her uncle Rhodey pats her on the back and smiles too. Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under Where is the love? Father, Father, Father, help us
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?
Sing with me y'all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That's all we got)
One world, one world
And something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)
The song ended and Melody was with her family. "That was awesome Melly" Tony said taking his daughter into a hug. Melody just smiled and said "Everyone needed to hear it to see what you guys mean." Melody looked at her father and grandfather.
"I have an idea, both of you listen till the end before saying yes or no." Melody said to them both. They agreed and Melody continued.
"You can still do a military contract without making weapons." Tony was about to talk but Melody spoke first. "Just make something for soldiers that protect them. More defense than offence. Like a shield or better body armor. And no I'm not saying give them the suits just really good body armor for combat that protects them and make something to detect IEDs faster before its too late, stuff like that can make a big difference too." Melody finished out of breath.
Tony and his father looked at each other and smiled at the girl. "You are brilliant!" Tony said picking her up and hugging her even though she's 14. "Yes Melody very good idea let me go talk to the bored about it." Howard said walking off but gave his granddaughter a kiss on the head.
Months after the party Stark International now has a new line of defense for the U.S Military titled HOPE.
