Chaos Controller15: Happy New Year! That's right, it's 2012 now! I don't know about you, but the 366 days in front of us have as much potential as ever. I can't wait to live them up and see what happens! Now, how about a year-welcoming story? A concert, perhaps? I think so. Without further ado, I bring you G.U.N.
There was a banner on display above the stage in the middle of the park. It read, "HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2012," in big, bold font. The aforementioned stage lay silent without anything but the amplifiers on it.
That was going to change soon, very soon.
Rouge the Bat stepped up onto the stage, holding a microphone in her hand. "Hello Mobius!" She cried out.
Connected to the amplifiers, her voice rung throughout the park and beyond. It caught the attention of many citizens, especially those walking around the park. Instantly, at least two-dozen people flocked right in front of the stage. "And hello 2012!"
The small crowd cheered. "I think I know how to properly introduce ourselves to the New Year." Rouge said slyly.
Just after she said that a guitar started playing. The crowd went crazy as more people arrived to see what was going on.
After an introduction the bat began to sing.
Rouge: Hanging out behind the club on the weekend
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour
Shadow the Hedgehog emerged onto the stage playing the guitar. If possible, the crowd was even louder. He smiled and began to sing himself.
Shadow: I remember it's the first time that I saw her there
She's getting kicked out of school cause she's failing
I'm kind of nervous cause I think all her friends hate me
She's the one she'll always be there
She took my hand and that made it I swear
Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
Rouge: She said what
Shadow: And I told her that I didn't know
Rouge: She's so cool
Shadow: I'm gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when
Shadow and Rouge: She's around
Shadow: I can't wait till her parents go
Shadow and Rouge: Out of town
Shadow: I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
When we said we were gonna move to Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
Seventeen without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a f(censored) explanation
Shadow: I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
Rouge: She said what
Shadow: And I told her that I didn't know
Rouge: She's so cool
Shadow: I'm gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when
Shadow and Rouge: She's around
Shadow: I can't wait till her parents go
Shadow and Rouge: Out of town
Shadow: I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
Rouge: Black and white pictures of her on my wall
Shadow: I waited for her call
She always kept me waiting
Shadow and Rouge locked eyes for the next verse
Shadow and Rouge: And if I ever got another chance
I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting
The two began to jump around like maniacs.
Shadow: I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
Rouge: She said what
Shadow: And I told her that I didn't know
Rouge: She's so cool
Shadow: I'm gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when
Shadow and Rouge: She's around
Shadow: I can't wait till her parents go
Shadow and Rouge: Out of town
Shadow: I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
Rouge sang her lines while Shadow was singing his.
Rouge: I'll never
Forget tonight
Shadow: With the girl at the rock show
Rouge: I'll never
Forget tonight
Shadow: With the girl at the rock show
After the song, Blink 182's Rock Show, finished the two breathed a big sigh of relief after successfully performing their first song together. By the time they were done, the wildly cheering crowd had more then tripled.
"Want some more?" Rouge asked.
The crowd's cheer was enough for her. "Alright Shadow, get ready!"
Rouge stepped towards the back of the stage where turntable set was. She got behind it and nodded at Shadow. "Good luck."
He took a deep breath. The intro to his song started. The crowd realized it right away and exploded in cheers over the choice.
Shadow got ready to start.
Shadow: I might be too strung out on confidence
Overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a f(censored)
And stopped fearing the consequence
Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long
I'm floating in and out of consciousness
And they saying I'm back
I'd agree with that
I just take my time with all this sh(censored) I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off ooh I needed that
And they wanna see me pick back up well where'd I leave it at
I know I exaggerated things now I got it like that
Tuck my napkin in my shirt cause I'm just mobbin like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gonna make someone around me catch a body like that no
Don't do it
Please don't do it
Cause one of us goes in and we all go through it
And Shadow got the money
So Shadow gonna pay it
Those my brothers I ain't even gotta say that's just something they know
They know they know they know
They know they know they know
They know they know they know yeah they know yeah
That the real is on the rise
F(censored) them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide now it's something they know
They know they know they know yeah
I be yelling out money over everything
Money on my mind
Then she wanna ask when it got so empty
Tell her I apologize happened over time
She says they miss the old Shadow girl don't tempt me
If they don't get it they'll be
Shadow and Rouge: Over you
Shadow: That new sh(censored) that you got is
Shadow and Rouge: Overdue
Shadow: You better do what you
Shadow and Rouge: Supposed to do
Shadow: I'm like why I gotta be all that
But still I can't deny the fact that it's true
Listening to you expressing all the feelings
Soap opera rappers all these n(censored) sound like All My Children
And that's who you think is about to come and make a killing
I guess it really is just me myself and all my millions
You know that they ain't even got it like that
You gonna hype me up and make me catch a body like that
Cause I live for this it isn't just a hobby like that
When they get my sh(censored) and play it
I ain't even gotta say it
They know
They know they know they know
They know they know they know
They know they know they know yeah they know yeah
That the real is on the rise
F(censored) them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide now it's something they know
They know they know they know
I be yelling out money over everything
Money on my mind mind mind mind
Tell them I apologize it happened over time time time time
They know
As the song ended Shadow could finally exhale. He succeeded in singing Drake's Headlines. The crowd enjoyed it, too. The icing on the cake. They went wild.
"Alright!" Rouge exclaimed, "Nice work Shadow." She looked at the crowd, "One more?" She asked.
Her reply came in an uproar of claps, screaming and everything else. "OK, I get it. Here we go."
Shadow picked up a tambourine. "Alright, here's to a good life in 2012!" Rouge said.
Shadow started to play his instrument as the background music came on.
Rouge was the first to sing.
Rouge: Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in a city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night
Night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say
Rouge and Shadow: Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be good life, good life
Say oh got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really a good life
A good, good life
Rouge: To my friends in New York I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes that I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bull(censored) that don't work now
We are lord of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about
Shadow: When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in
Rouge and Shadow: Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be good life, good life
Say oh got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Good good life
Shadow: Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about
Rouge and Shadow: Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be good life, good life
Say oh got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Oh yeah
Good good life
Ooh
Rouge: To my friends in New York I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes that I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bull(censored) that don't work now
We are lord of stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about
"Yeah!" Shadow closed it out.
"Good life!" Rouge said, "By OneRepublic!"
The crowd went off again. "Alright, thank you all for stopping by to here us. Just so you know, we're G. U. N. That's the name of our band. We had a ball today and will let you know when our next concert will be."
With eye to eye grins, the two walked off the stage.
Chaos Controller15: There you go! Shadow and Rouge's New Year's day concert. I hope you enjoyed the song selection. I wanted to only use songs that were performed on the New Year's Eve specials. I hope you're excited for the next G. U. N. concert. The acronym? I know what it means, but I won't tell you... yet. It'll be revealed in the next concert. If you wanted to, in your review, you can guess what it is. Any and all who do and are correct will be noticed in the next concert. The next one will be a completely different story, not an additional chapter, just so you know. So yeah, see you next time!
