The roar of the crowd sent adrenaline coursing through my veins. I beamed and waved at my fans. It was a beautiful feeling, to be numb of conscious thought and let the music take over. I nodded my head to the rhythm the guitar was producing as, with a burst of light, the rest of the band joined in for the 30 sec. intro to "His World" by the amazingly talented, Crush 40 ft. Zebrahead. I knew that it was time to give the crowd- and my guests- a lame and cheesy address.
"Hey, guys!" I had to pause for their screams would drown my words. "You know whose world you just stepped into?!" I had only just finished saying the words when Gale, my co- singer, started to rap the first verse. Then before I knew it I was singing the chorus. It was amazing; I'd never felt so in tune with my fans before that moment, like I was using their energy to feed my own. They were all singing along and screaming their brains out. I knew that the Galleria was pretty small for a mall in Miami, but there had to be at least 2,000 people here- it was loud.The song was was over all too soon, and it was time for me to formally announce the appearance of the Sonic Team. My heart pounded out of my chest as I cautiously stepped down into the screaming mass of people.
There they were, the whole lot of them. I was beyond scared when I reached them, thinking I might pee on myself. I noticed that they all had mics, as if they were going to be singing too. I hoped otherwise as I took a deep breath and mentally arranged all my words before I spoke. And then there he was: the "Blue Blur" in the flesh. I put on my 100 watt smile as I shook his big, white gloved hand. Putting the mic to my mouth as I spoke, "I want y'all to show our special guests some love!" The crowd went ballistic; fangirls screaming, "MARRY ME SONIC!" I saw him chuckle as I continued, "I can't believe it's already been five years of peace and awesomeness." Hey, I was making this up as I went.
As if my into wasn't totally lame, the cerulean hedgehog beamed back at me.
"It's great to be here! Thanks for the awesome intro. I think the fans really liked it, right guys?" The mass roared in response. Winking at me, he then said, "Now how about we hear some more from you shall we?" Oh, he was good... Then suddenly I was in his arms with the wind in my face. I was a little disoriented when he put me down at center stage. The fans were going insane; the majority of them screaming for Sonic. To save myself from falling over or worse, throwing up, I started humming into my mic the tune to the theme song (I Am... All of Me) of the red and ebony hedgehog.
My band instantly caught on and my bassist, Emmett, started to aggressively strum his guitar. I scanned the mob of people to find Shadow the Hedgehog, but when I laid my eyes on him, my world froze. I'd never seen anyone as dark and delicious as him. I vowed to make this song, all his songs, better than the rest.
"So this song goes out to that badass in the front row." I said with a wink. I had no idea what was making me so bold today. Like I was really outgoing and all but never to this extent. I could see his raised eyebrows and a smirk plastered on his face. I then proceeded to sing that song with such emotion, everyone went hoarse with how much they screamed.
When I reached the last line I gracefully fell to my hands and knees and began to crawl to the edge of the stage where Shadow was. I could see that all the Sonic Team's boys were winking and elbowing him. And so I sang, just inches from his face, "I am, I am all of me." I had to rush to get myself up and back to center stage. I sang a couple more songs like "With Me", "Is It You?", and "All Hail Shadow." The lights went out on stage and the crowd erupted into cheers, whistles, and applause. It was time for my 30 minute break while Emmett and the others were to stay and perform as back up for our other special guests, the one and only Crush 40.
They were all as excited as fangirls especially Emmett and Charles, the drummer. Crush 40 was their idol band. So when I was given the option to call on Crush 40 or not, my guys demanded that I not let the opportunity slip by. I was doing this for them; they deserved to have more time on stage than I did.
