Maiden- So how'd ya like the first ch? I know it was short, but it got the main points across. Now, we'll get a little deeper into the plot and intro the rest of the OCs. Many of you already love Jaden from my 'Danielle Fenton' fic and i'm hoping you'll like Raven, Violet and Rebel Spirits!
Casper High Musical; Redux!
Chapter 2- Freak the Freak Out
"Sounds like a plan, Rae!" Sam laughed, high fiving her female best friend.
"What's a plan?" the goth girl's violet eyes flicked to 13 year old Danielle. The small halfa was Danny's supposed 'clone' but was more like his kid sister. And when Jack and Maddy met Dani, she was instantly welcomed into the family.
"Casper is holding a talent show next week and the first prize is 12 all axcess passes to Circus Gothica."
"Sweetness!" the fire hybrid giggled. "So who's entering? Vi and Rae?"
"All of us." Danny cut in. "The more of us that enter, the better our chances at winning."
"Then we've totally got this in the bag." Jaden pipped, crossing the hall with his band mates to join the conversation. "Me and the boys just signed up. Thought maybe we could all use the Circus Gothica tickets for a big group date."
"That would be if you actually won the contest." came a clipped accent. The voice made the girls shudder in disgust. Paulina Sanchez and her minons were suddenly standing behind the gang. "And I think I already know who the winner is going to be...me!"
"Yeah, don't hold your breath, sweetness." Sam spat. "You're not gauranteed first place. Come to think of it, you couldn't win if your life depended on it! I've heard you sing and Justin Beiber's music is more tolerable than your voice." Chuckles, snickers and bold laughs were heard from many in the hallway.
"How dare you!" the latina girl growled.
"How dare we what?" Dani sneered. "Speak the honest truth?"
"Just you wait and see, twerp. I will win that Talent Show and show all you loosers what true talent is! Just because you all helped save the world dosent mean you have an advantage."
"You're right, Paulina." Raven replied cooly. "It dosen't gaurantee us first place. But what does is the fact that we actually have talent. We don't flaunt our money or looks just to persuade people's judgements, like you and your cronies. All of us may not be high on the social food chain but at least we play fair." Raven glared at the latino girl with an amused spark in her eyes as Paulina stormed off in a huff.
"Can you believe she's still parading around like she's Miss Universe?" Jaden drawled. Lunch hour had begun and ever since Raven shut Paulina down in the hallway that morning, it was like the spanish woman had something to prove. Being overly obnoxious by flaunting her looks, money and power even more so than usual. Everyone at Team Phantom's table shook thier head in disgust. Just as she gave Kwan another tounge lashing for not getting her a 'fat free' mocochino, Sam gave an aggrivated groan and rose from the table.
Little short skirt with a big attitude
{she sang venomously at the latina girl, causing many to stop and stare.}
She wants to be a model
Wants to be on the tube
Yeah,
It's one thing or another
Shes a trouble trouble
Watch out if your near
She can bring you to tears
{Sam stood on the lunch table and continued to sing. Jaden and Raven recognized the song and pulled thier guitars from their cases and strummed along with Sam's voice.} Shes got two boyfriends
And three wannabees
{Sam pointed to Dash, Kwan, Star and two other popular girls surrounding Paulina} I hate the homecoming queen Non fat sugar free mochachinies I hate the homecoming queen She gets everything she asks for
They follow her around like shes Aphrodite
Shes number one rated
But shes already jated
And shes following the treads
In her mercedes bends
Everyone wants to know her name
Walking down the hall shes every guys dream
I'm pretty damn sure
She cant stand me
She thinks shes on the cover of a magazine
I hate the homecoming queen
Tonight
That's right
She says "give it to me now you can keep the receipt"
She drinks one after the other
Shes a trouble trouble
Tossing back her hair and she just don't care
Everyone wants to play her game
Walking down the street shes every guys dream
I'm pretty damn sure
She cant stand me
She thinks shes on the cover of a magazine
I hate the homecoming queen
Tonight
Thats right
Buts shes some how always wanting more
{By now, Paulina had run out of the cafeteria sporting a crimson red blush with most of the student body laughing at her expense.} Little short skirt with a big attitude
She wants to be a model
Wants to be on the tube
Yeah,
It's one thing or another
Shes a trouble trouble
Watch out if your near
She can bring you to tears
{Jaden and Raven had joined Sam atop the lunch table, still strumming on thier guitars with Danny and Tucker supplying the beat-boxing} I hate the homecoming queen I hate the homecoming queen
I'm pretty damn sure
That she gets to me
She thinks shes on the cover of a magazine
I hate the homecoming queen
I'm pretty damn sure
She can't stand me
She thinks shes on the cover of a magazine
I hate the homecoming queen
Tonight
Thats right
"That was beyond epic!" Raven laughed once Sam's last chorus was finished.
"And it threw Paulina for a loop too!" Violet chidded. "She ran outta the room halfway through the song."
"Serves her right, if you ask me." Dani threw casually, sporting a victorious smirk.
"What the hell just happened to Paulina?" Zac asked as he, Taylor and Stephen approached Team Phantom. The golden eyed boy looked to Jaden for an explaination.
"Sam just showed the bitch up." he laughed, sitting down beside Dani. "Sang 'I Hate the Homecomming Queen' ontop the table, here. Sanchez didn't make it through half the song before she left thoroughly embarrased."
"That's our Sam." Stephen chuckled, elbowing Taylor in the side, who rolled his eyes in responce. The onyx haired teen's hazel eyes flickered over to Raven who was sitting contently next to Violet. He studied her for a moment before she realized he was staring.
"Something the matter, Taylor?" she asked, gazing up at him. He blushed and shook his head, excusing himself from the group.
"Ya know, he's been doing that alot lately." Raven muttered in annoyance.
"I think he likes you, Rae." Tucker teased in a sing-song voice. The navy eyed goth girl hit him rather hard over the head.
"If he 'likes' me, then why does he stare at me like i'm some kinda freak?"
"That's the way guys are, Aurora." Danny offered, using her superhero alias to show he's trying to give her advice. "Talk to him and see if he'll come clean about it."
"Maybe I will...thanks Phantom."
Once outside the cafeteria, it didn't take Raven long to find Taylor. He sat alone in the court yard, under a weeping willow.
"Hey, Young!" she shouted, causing the goth boy to jump slightly in surprise. He blushed lightly and looked away from her as she stormed near. "What the hell is your problem with me? I know i'm not exactly human but neither is Jaden, Danny, Danielle or Vi. So I do have feelings and I think you owe me an explanation." she stood for what seemed like an hour, staring at the dark haired boy, his eyed downcast, refusing to look up. "Not gonna talk?" she asked, getting more irritated by the second.
Are you listening?
Hear me talk, Hear me sing.
{It shocked Taylor to hear her soo clearly sing her feelings to him and without batting an eyelash about it. The look she gave him could cut through diamonds as she continued her song.}
Open up the door,
Is it less, is it more?
When you tell me to beware,
Are you here? Are you there?
Is it something I should know?
Easy come, Easy go.
{Aurora's voice grew in strenght and volume the further into the song she got. And all Taylor could do was sit there and listen in total awe}
Nodding your head, (Hear me, can you hear me?) I scream your name, Patience running thin I'm so sick of it,
Don't hear a word I said
Can't communicate, when you wait
Don't relate.
I try to talk to you
But you never even knew, so,
What's it gonna be,
Tell me can you hear me?
I'm so sick of it,
Your attention deficit
Never listen, You never listen.
I'm so sick of it,
So I'm throwing on a fit
Never listen, You never listen.
It always stays the same.
I scream and shout,
So what I'm gonna do now
Is freak the freak out, hey!
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh,
Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh oh.
Running thin, come again
Tell me what I get
Opposite, opposite
Show me what is real
If it breaks does it heal?
Open up your ear
Why you think that I'm here?
Keep me in the dark
Are you even thinking of me?
And someone else above me
Gotta know, gotta know
What am I gonna do?
Cause I can't get through to you
So what's it gonna be
Tell me can you hear me?
Your attention deficit
Never listen, You never listen.
I'm so sick of it,
So I'll throw another fit
Never listen, You never listen.
Maiden- Thanks for all the reviews! They're greatly appreciated and I hope you all continue to do so! And just for those of you who are really into the story, here is a little bio on Rebel Spirits (Jaden's band).
Rebel Spirits is a band Jaden Gauge and his three best friends (Zac DeGraw, Taylor Young and Stephen Ruesh) started in Jaden's garage. Their genre is undefined, saying they don't really care to be labled as any one thing but preferring to write and perform thier own original songs. Jaden Gauge is Ember McClain's younger brother. But unlike his sister, Jaden has a special ability to turn human whenever he wishes. His alter ego is Blane Lovecraft, a pyro hybrid with control over any and all fire. His weapon of choice is a guitar much like Ember's but is black and red. As a human, he has shaggy copper hair and stormy grey eyes, but as a ghost, his hair elongates into a bright blue flame and his eyes are an ectoplasmic green. His outfit consists of black and red trip pants with many chains comming from the pockets, combat boots and a long sleeve 'Rebel Spirits' band t-shirt.
Zac DeGraw is Jaden's oldest and best friend. He's a bit of a smart mouth and often says things without thinking about it first. Zac, Taylor and Stephen are all 100% human but know well of Jaden's origins. Zac has rusty red hair that forms a small ponytail in the back and his eyes are rich gold. Zac's design is based off that of my best friend, Amanda's boyfriend Jake Hernandez.
Taylor Young is the resident goth within the band. He takes care of the more metal sounding music and provides backup vocals for Jaden. Taylor is rarely ever seen talking and often chooses to stay by himself if he's not with his friends. He has short black hair and hazel eyes. His personality is based off my best friend, Rainey's boyfriend Eric Booth.
Stephen Ruesh is a comedy man. He loves to laugh and use his stand up comic talents to provide intermission entertainment for Rebel Spirit's performances. He's well known for his sick and twisted sence of humor. He and Taylor have known eachother since birth and are the best of friends, dispite being foils of eachother. Stephen's hair is beach blone and his eyes are sapphire blue. Stephen's design is based off that of my little brother's, Stephen Greene.
