This is my first oneshot for Of Love and Fanfiction, as started by Sakura Blossom Storm!
Main Pairing: Trent/Gwen
This story is called My Wish. You'll see why.
Enjoy!
Gwen trudged into a karaoke bar. She sat down at a table by herself, looked at the menu, and ordered a burger when the waiter came over. As the waiter left, Gwen sighed. She was depressed, a lot more depressed then usual, since she was a Goth girl.
"Can anybody find me…somebody to love?" she muttered to herself.
"I might as well go up and sing." Gwen picked up a book full of songs, and began to look through it.
After Total Drama World Tour, Gwen thought she was happy, until she found Duncan cheating on her with Heather. Gwen went into a state of depression, and not even LeShawna and Bridgette could get in touch with her. Gwen just ignored the world, going to school every day, hardly speaking, and then coming home and spending all of her time in her room.
Tonight, her mom had convinced her to go out and do something fun. Gwen agreed, just cause she felt that she needed to get out of the house. Gwen then decided to go to a karaoke bar.
Ah, a karaoke bar. It brings fond memories for her. She used to come to the karaoke bar all the time with her friends. Now that Gwen slipped into isolation, she didn't visit the place anymore.
The waiter came over and served her a burger and a soda. Gwen quietly thanked him and began to eat.
Just then, the DJ's voice caught her attention. "Next up is Trent Smith!"
Gwen perked up. Trent Smith? Trent Smith from Total Drama? It was too good to be true!
Sure enough, there he was, up on the karaoke bar stage.
"Hey, everyone, I'm Trent. Tonight, I'll be singing a country favorite. Maybe you'll recognize it."
Trent saw her, and his eyes gleamed. Trent winked at her, then he picked up the microphone as the music began to play. Then, Trent started singing.
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

May all your dreams stay big
Everyone started clapping for the musician, and Gwen was the loudest of them all. Trent bowed as he left the stage. "Thank you, Toronto! You guys are awesome!"
Gwen settled back down to eat her burger, but she got interrupted again when someone sat down across from her. She looked up from her burger. "Trent?"
"Gwen! It is you." Trent said with a warm smile. "I haven't seen you in a while. So, how you been?"
Gwen sighed. "Not so good. I'm single, now."
"What happened?" Trent wanted to know.
"I really don't like talking about it." Gwen said quickly.
Trent nodded. "I understand. So, what brings you here?"
"My mom said that I should come out and walk around the town, so I did." Gwen answered. "I live near here."
"So do I!" Trent told her enthusiastically.
"Cool." Gwen blushed. Trent didn't seem to notice since the karaoke bar was so dark.
"You going to go up and sing?" Trent asked her.
"I was thinking about doing this song." Gwen opened the song book and pointed to one. Trent nodded.
"That's a great song by a great band. I think you should do it. I'll go sign you up." Trent got up, walked over to the DJ, tapped him on the shoulder, and spoke quietly to him.
Trent turned around and winked at her, as the DJ turned on the speaker. "Up next, Gwen Namien!"
Trent sat down at the table as Gwen walked up to the stage. She picked up the microphone. "Hey, everybody. I'm Gwen, and I'll be singing a song for you all." She begins to sing.
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Everyone cheered loudly, as Gwen bowed and left the stage. Trent cheered loudest of all. "Gwen, that was amazing!"
Gwen smiled, and in the spur of the moment, cupped Trent's face and kissed him. Gwen broke the kiss, and they smiled at each other.
"Do you want to go out sometime?" Trent asked her.
"Yep. How about Sunday?" Gwen responded.
"Sounds good. Here's my number. Call me?" Trent told her, handing her a piece of paper.
Gwen handed him a piece of paper. "My number. I have to go."
Trent nodded. Gwen left the karaoke bar and headed home, a big smile plastered upon her face.
Was it good? I hope so!
