In Big Green's cafeteria, Commander Apetrully was revealing a new addition to the cafeteria. Sonia notices Hope's excitement, which was very noticeable. I really do mean very noticeable. She was hopping in place.
"Hope?" Sonia said.
"Yes?" Hope said with a few giggles.
Sonia just raise a eyebrow and said, "Never mind."
"Ladies and animals," Apetrully said, getting everyone's attention. "Presenting the new... stage!"
He pulled off the large, red cloth, revealing a stage that was smaller than the one in the stage room but big enough to let someone perform on it. Next to the stage was a karaoke machine.
"A karaoke machine?" Mighty Ray said.
"Yes. Hope have been requested it for a while." Apetrully said.
"That explains why Hope looks like she's going to explode any minute." Sonia said.
Hope suddenly squealed at such a such a high pitch that only dogs and wolves can hear it. So...
"The pain! The unbearable pain!" Dog King shouted in the background as the roto-wolves howl in pain.
Lin Chung covered Hope's mouth with his hand, stopping their pain.
"Hope, why would you want this... thing?" Alpha Girl ask.
"Well, I thought Big Green needs more fun." Hope said. "Also, you know me with singing."
"You know that Big Green is a military. Right?" NoHands said.
"Of course. That doesn't mean Big Green can't have fun."
"Why would you let her do this?" Chou whisper to Apetrully.
"Sometimes, there's a feeling about her that I can't refuse." Apetrully said.
"I can't take it! I'm using it!" Hope shouted.
With one of the karaoke machine's microphone in her hand, Hope was already on stage, singing and dancing to the music. The unique sounds brought the other members of Big Green closer to the stage.
Hope: If we can map out
All of Earth's mysteries
We will able to go to
Any place we want
We spend our lives with
Anticipations and hopes
R, S, & H: But who is the one
That grants them?
First Squad and the Air Force just noticed Rosefinch and Sonia on stage, who are dancing to the beat of the music.
"When did they get up there?" Mighty Ray ask no one in particular.
"No idea." Chou said.
Sonia: Until the end of time
H, S, & R: Boooon!
S: With a warp,
This looping feeling
H, R, & S: Swirls everything together
And plays around with them
On a particular sunny day
A happiness greater than magic
Will pour down endlessly
It's not impossible!
Alpha Girl groan as she shook her head when she saw Hurricane and Archer trying to dance to the music.
R, H, & S: When we meet again tomorrow
We'll laugh and hum a tune
Let's collect all the happiness
It's easy, there's nothing to it
Chase after them and
Try to catch them
You love big dreams
Right?
Chou was a little shock when he saw Mano bobbing his head to the music.
H: Anything is possible in the future
Where nothing is certain
But I know that one thing is for sure
Hanging above the thick clouds
And shining brightly
H, S, & R: The stars will
Give me hope
I know it
S: Let's ride time
R, H, & S: Byuuuuum!
S: I'm at the cheap and cool age
S, H, & R: Please let me express
My loneliness and shyness sometimes
If we hold our hands together
We'll be invincible at our destination
Nothing is impossible in these sparkling eyes
Just look up and the tears will dry
"I want to change!"
Shout from the bottom of your heart
And it'll be heard
Break off running and
Leave the others behind
Your heart is beating fast
Right?
"Lin Chung?" NoHands said when he heard Lin Chung humming to the song.
H, S, & R: Boooon!
S: With a wrap,
This looping feeling
R, H, & S: Swirls everything together
And plays around with them
On a particular sunny day
A happiness greater than magic
Will pour down endlessly
It's not impossible!
When we meet again tomorrow
We'll laugh and hum a tune
Let's collect all the happiness
It's easy, there's nothing to it
Chase after them and
Try to catch them
You love big dreams,
Right?
Everyone cheered as the three got off the stage.
"A m I the only one who's going to ask?" Mighty Ray said. "What was that?"
"Hare Hare Yukai in English." Hope said.
"Yeah, but how come Sonia and Rosefinch knows it?"
"Hope showed us it on something call a computer." Sonia said.
"Computer...?" Jumpy said.
"I'll simply say that a computer is something that can bring you to the Internet, which is you can get information on everything. Computers are very rare in the Hidden Kingdom, which is why almost everyone in the Hidden Kingdom doesn't know what it is. Don't ask how I got one because I don't want to get into too much detail." Hope said very quickly, scratching the back of her head.
Everyone else sweatdropped at what she said.
"So what do you think of the stage?" Hope ask her friends.
"It was so much fun to be on stage!" Sonia said.
"I guess it was fun." Rosefinch said.
"Do you think I can try?" Lin Chung ask.
Everyone look at him. Lin Chung the harmonic warrior wants to sing. Yeah... Pretty strange.
"Of course." Hope said.
Walking side by side, Hope and Lin Chung got on stage. Everyone stared at that. Come on, Lin Chung singing is a little unbelievable, right?
"You should pick, but nothing embarrassing." Lin Chung said.
"Okay." Hope said.
The music sounded kind of mysterious like it told a story.
Lin Chung: Deep inside the dark forest
The river, the trees, and the flowers
Give a sweet smell
The beautiful bird's voices
Echo across in a sad tone
H: Deep inside the forest
I sit alone and sing a tune
The gentle sound of the wind
Is a whisper that heals my loneliness
Traveler, why don't you rest here?
I shall sing a song for you
LC: Oh, lovely child
Let me hear your voice more
H & LC: Let us spend a little time
Together in the forest
Ah, the beautiful voice
Spreads across the purple mist
And within the cold darkness
It slowly disappears
H: The blowing wind
LC: The rustling leaves
The blooming flowers
H: They're beautiful
Aren't they?
LC: The beautiful lake
H: Shines
LC & H: There is a paradise
In the forest no one knows about
With a secret lake
In the mysterious forest
H: Why don't we always
LC: With her angelic voice
H: Stay with each other
In this forest?
LC: With her angelic voice
H: We'll be together forever...
Deep inside the dark forest
The days of singing continues,
But I am never lonely
We sit and sing together
Because you are by my side
LC & H: Deep inside the purple forest
LC: In a place which you must never enter
H: In a place where I will guide you
H & LC: The mysterious secret of the forest
LC: If you get captured
H: If I capture you
LC: You'll never escape
H: I'll never let you go
LC & H: For all eternity
Everyone clapped rather slowly since the song got kind of creepy at the end. As the two got down, Mighty Ray open his mouth to talk, but Lin Chung said, "Hope also showed me the computer."
"Who else wants a turn?" Hope shouted.
Almost everyone in the cafeteria raise their hand.
"I guess the stage will be fun." Hope said with a smile.
