Hey guys! I'm here with my first ever songfic! The song is "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt. Some of the lyrics are changed to fit the context of the story. (It's best to listen to the song first). Ok! Hope you guys enjoy!
The lights shined in his face. He tapped the microphone, silencing the chattering crowd.
"Um.. hi everyone!.. My name's Dipper Pines and I'm doing a solo without my regular karaoke group, Love Patrol Alpha. Umm.. this song is for someone really, really special to me, and.. uh.. yea.. Here goes nothing!.." the boy introduced shyly. He heard the music start and took a deep breath.
"My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure." The crowd watched silently. Wendy was humming along, while Robbie tried to ignore the song as best he could.
"She smiled to me from the counter. She was with another man. But I won't lose and sleep all night, 'cause I got a plan." Dipper gulped, not knowing what Wendy was going to think of this. If she even knows I'm singing about her...
"You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face, in a crowded place, and I don't know what to do, 'cause I'll never be with you.." The boy finished the first chorus, and looked at the audience's reactions as he waited for the next part to come. He made eye contact with Wendy who gave him a thumbs up. The boy smiled slightly as he continued the song.
"Yes, she caught my eye, as I walked on by. She could see from face that I was trying not to cry. And I don't think that we'll hang out again.., but we shared our moments that will last till the end." Dipper started to hold in tears that threatened to come.
"You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face, in a crowded place, and I don't know what to do, 'cause I'll never be with you.." The shaking boy wiped away a few tears.
"You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. There must be an angel, with a smile on her face, when she thought up that I should be with you. But it's time to face the truth.. I will never be with you.." Dipper ran off the stage before the audience could even applause. The music ended awkwardly without him, everyone in the crowd staring, confused, at the now empty stage.
Wendy got up out of her seat to go find the boy, when she felt a hand grip her arm.
"Woah, woah where you going? The next song's about to start!"a voice complained behind her. The teen sighed.
"I'm going to go find Dipper and ask him if he's alright. Be back in a few," she replied, pulling her arm out of Robbie's grasp. Wendy weaved her way around all the people, muttering "Sorry." and "Excuse me." during her venture. She walked into the Shack to see a crying Dipper in the counter chair looking out the window as his sister sang "Don't Start Unbelieving."
"Hey Dip? You okay?" Wendy asked, startling the boy.
"Wendy?! Uh.. what are you doing here?!" he asked as he rubbed his eyes, his voice slightly stuttering.
"You seemed pretty shaken up after that song there. Who was that for? She must have been pretty important if it got you running off the stage like that. Wait, let me guess.. was it Pacifica?" the girl joked. She expected Dipper to lighten up at that, but his face stayed solemn.
"Wendy..." Dipper muttered. I hope this is a good idea..
"Yea Dip?"
"The song was.. for you," he answered, pulling his cap down and running out the door. He was too afraid to see her reaction. Too afraid that what he said just ruined everything. But he knew deep in his heart, that no matter how many favors he did, no matter how tall he grew, no matter how mature he got, Wendy would never see him the way he did her. Never.
Yay! I finished my first ever songfic! I really hope you guys enjoyed it, and I hope I did this right! Please R & R! Til' next time! Onwards Aoshima!
