So, I decided, since it's a new year, I'm going to put all my other stories on hold for a while, unless I have a really good idea for them, and I'm going to rewrite one of my first two. I deleted it a while back because it kinda hurt to go back to as it was a rough time for me and I hope that this will be better. Here we go… here we go… here we go here we go here we go here we go here we go here we go I'm gone! Sorry, I had to do that. I'm in a somewhat slap-happy mood right now, so expect random things to happen in this chapter, though I will try to keep it at a minimum. Here's the first chapter for y'all.
"Whatcha doin?" Jay asked me as I was doing my hair.
"What does it look like I'm doing, Zaptrap?" I answered.
"Doin' something you normally wouldn't, Dirt Clod! Why are you dressed all nice?
Gotta date?" He said, smirking. He can be so annoying. Why does he think that if I look nice, I must be going on a date?
"Jay, I'm not going on a date. I'm spending time with my father and he told me to look nice. Apparently we're having dinner with a band, and it's at a nice restaurant." I say, very annoyed. Kai, who had his smirk on, and Zane, who looked terrified, walk in and then a very, how would I say it… frustrated sister of fire? I think that's the right word for the look on Nya's face. Either that or ready to kill her brother, probably the latter, truthfully.
"Kai! You do that one more time, I swear I will kill you! I'm serious! Stop smirking!" I'm so glad I'm not Kai right now. Nya is so mad! I'm also glad I'm not a ghost anymore. I'd be gone in seconds. "Where are you going, Mr. Fancy?" She asks me.
"My dad said he wanted to spend time with me and he got two tickets to a concert, so I'm going to meet up with him tonight before the concert. Plus, we're having dinner with the band."
"Ah. Well, have fun missing out on Kai's death!" I then realised that she had a knife in one of her hands, and kunai in the other.
"I hope you enjoy killing him!" I say, walking out and stepping out of the temple
"I will, no doubt about that!" She yelled back at me. "KAI! YOU ARE DEAD!"
" AHHHHHH! WHY DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE AND KUNAI!"
This is what happens when you live with Kai and Nya. Just think of what would happen if they had never met Sensei and still lived in the blacksmith shop, just the two of them. The world would have ended a long time ago. After I hear Jay yell at Kai to say he's sorry so the terror can end, I focus on creating my dragon and fly off to see what kind of concert my dad's taking me to.
I get to the place he told me to meet him at and I wait for about ten minutes before I hear him call my name.
"Son! Come on, we have front row seats, so we better get going before we have to sit at the end where the speakers are and we get our ear drums popped!" My dad said, grabbing my arm and practically dragging me to the gate so we can have our tickets taken.
"What kind of concert is this, dad?" I ask. His classical concerts don't blast the music unless they don't have a choice. Like with an orchestra, they only use the natural sound, that's why they have so many of each instrument.
"One you'll love, I'm sure. It's not classical, I promise you that. But it's not a heavy metal either. It's more in the contemporary genre, if you know what I mean."
"Dad, I have no clue what you mean, but I'll just roll with it." I say to him with a smile. And for your information, it's a real smile too.
"Good, I really hope you like this concert, son. It'll be good for us both. That's for sure." He says, right before the band comes onstage and starts playing, immediately I recognize the song, and the lead singer.
"At break of day
In hope we rise
We speak your name
We lift our eyes
Tune our hearts
Into your beat
Where we walk
There you'll be"
By this time, I notice that I'm doing the choreography that we did in choir for this song. I don't care if people think I'm weird by doing this, but hey, I'm a ninja and I live with Jay. That speaks for itself.
"With fire in our eyes
Our lives alight
Your love untamed
It's blazing out
The streets will glow
Forever bright
Your glory's breaking through the night
You will never fade away
Your love is here to stay
By my side
In my life
Shining through me everyday
You will never fade away
Your love is here to stay
By my side
in my life
Shining through me everyday"
FREE DANCE! I have so many people looking at me like I'm crazy. Well, I kinda am right now, I mean, I'm doing the macarena to the beat, I expect people to look at me like I'm mental or something.
"You wake within me
Wake within me
You're in my heart forever
You wake within me
Wake within me
You're in my heart forever
With fire in our eyes
Our lives alight
Your love untamed
It's blazing out
The streets will glow
Forever bright
Your glory's breaking through the night
You will never fade away
Your love is here to stay
By my side
In my life
Shining through me everyday
You will never fade away
Your love is here to stay
By my side
in my life
Shining through me everyday"
For this free dance, I'm doing wax on wax off. Just because I can and it's not like any of the guys are here to laugh at me… for the rest of my life.
"You wake within me
Wake within me
You're in my heart forever
You wake within me
Wake within me
You're in my heart forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
In your love
Forever
Forever
Forever
In your love
Forever
Forever
Forever
In your love
Forever
Forever
Forever
We know that
You will never fade away
Your love is here to stay
By my side
In my life
Shining through me everyday
You will never fade away
Your love is here to stay
By my side
in my life
Shining through me everyday"
Back to the macarena!
"You wake within me
Wake within me
You're in my heart forever
You wake within me
Wake within me
You're in my heart forever"
I can't believe I still remember the dance. I also can't believe that Chloe is the lead singer of the band that dad took me to see. Now I know why he said this is like contemporary. She does so many different types of contemporary, you have no idea what she's going to do next. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if the next song she did was The Ghost Whip. It's probably one of the favorite versions of The Weekend Whip at Yang's Temple.
Yang plays it all the time when the others aren't around. The only time he has appeared when the others were around was when Kai, Jay, Lloyd, and Zane decided to stay up past midnight playing Five Nights at Freddy's, every single one of them, and Nya and I got the great idea to have him jump scare them right before they could get jump scared on the game. They were screaming like little girls so loud, Nya and I just sat there laughing, then Sensei had a Freddy costume on and scared us so much that Nya then said she had to take a shower, even though she had taken one just before she "went to bed" earlier that night.
But that's besides the point. My sister, Miss Chloe M. Brookstone, lead singer of the band my dad and I are here to see, can be very unpredictable. Like, if Kai and Nya are going to be at each other's throats, if they will be okay around each other, or if they will be the closest siblings you have ever seen, unpredictable. We actually have seen Kai and Nya all three of those options in one hour before, when that happens, Nya is usually at Kai's throat by the end of the hour. Like earlier today, that's what was happening.
Ya know, when you remember things or think to yourself, you don't really pay attention to what's going on around you. And that's what happened to me, apparently I was so out of it, that six songs had already been played, not including Wake. Or maybe my dad said eight, I'm not exactly sure. They said that they were only doing ten, as it was in the middle of the day and this was their last concert for the tour, so I'll find out if it's the last one or if we have two more to go after this.
"Okay everybody, this is our last song for this tour," Yep, I was out of it for eight songs. "so I want all of you to join in with me if you know the song or as soon as you've picked it up. Here we go!" she grabbed her acoustic guitar and started the song she always ends with. And when I say alway, I mean she never ends with any other song. It's always this one. I decided I'd wait til the chorus to join in with her beautiful voice.
"We've waited for this day
We're gathered in your name
Calling out to you
Your glory like a fire
Awakening desire
Will burn our hearts with truth
You're the reason we're here
You're the reason we're singing
Open up the heavens
We want to see you
Open up the flood gates
A mighty river
Flowing from your heart
Filling every part of our praise
Your presence in this place
Your glory on our face
We're looking to the sky
Descending like a cloud
You're standing with us now
Lord unveil our eyes.
You're the reason we're here
You're the reason we're singing
(so) Open up the heavens
We want to see you
Open up the flood gates
A mighty river
Flowing from your heart
Filling every part of our praise
(yes)
Open up the heavens
We want to see you
Open up the flood gates
A mighty river
Flowing from your heart
Filling every part of our praise
Show us, show us your glory
Show us, show us your power
Show us, show us your glory Lord
Show us, show us your glory
Show us, show us your power
Show us, show us your glory Lord
(Hey! We wanna see you, we wanna see you)
Open up the heavens
We want to see you
Open up the flood gates
A mighty river
Flowing from your heart
Filling every part of our praise
(Sing, sing)
Open up the heavens
We want to see you
Open up the flood gates
A mighty river
Flowing from your heart
Filling every part of our praise
(We sing sing!)"
After the band left the stage, my dad and I went backstage to make sure that dinner was still on with the band.
"Hey dad." Chloe said as she hugged him, "Cole! I had no idea you would be here! It's so nice to see you again!"
"Diddo Chlo, I had no idea Dad was taking me to see you be so much better at singing than I ever was."
"Well, Chloe, we were coming to see if dinner was still on?" Dad said before Chloe started the argument that always started when I say something like that.
"Yep! Just let me get this makeup off so people will recognize me less and we'll be ready to go!"
"Phht, I just put a hoodie or a hat on and no one can recognize me."
"Whatever. Let's just go." She said, grabbing a makeup remover wipe and started to clean her face off.
"Who's all riding with who?" Dad asked.
"I didn't bring a car, if we had one that worked I would, but Jay keeps procrastinating fixing the one we do have and he's not letting Nya do it by herself, so I'll ride with whoever." I say, I'm kinda mad at Jay because he keeps taking Nay out on dates, but he still hasn't proposed. I still have no idea what got between them in the first place. And I'm still wondering why they all of a sudden were a couple again.
"I'll ride with Dad."
"Why don't you both ride with me and your band members, Chloe, can follow?"
"Sure." I say. It'll be nice to have some family time.
"I'll go tell the band and then we can be off!"
"We'll be waiting in the car, Chlo!"
"Okay." She says right before she walks off, I head to the car and get ready to sprint to the passenger seat, but right before I can, I hear her yell, "DIBS ON SHOTGUN!"
So, I hope I wasn't making Cole OOC with this chapter, and I also hope that you like this chapter. I'm going to miss Cole being a ghost, truthfully. In my first version of this, he ran through a few walls and he also teased Chloe about how she can't run from him. Well, I have some questions for you…
Did you like this chapter?
What was your favorite part?
Do you know the songs I put in here?
If you don't know the songs, look them up on youtube. The first one is Wake by Hillsong Young and Free and the other one is Open Up the Heavens by Meredith Andrews. Well, That's all for today! #NinjaNeverQuit #SpeakLife #GodBless #BannanasUnite! (Just ask me, I will tell you in the next chappie! MUAHAHAHA!)
