Notes: I own Allie and Jordan
Chapter 2
Holding out for a hero
"Mel hurry up!" called her best friend Allie. "I'm coming!" She called back, catching up with her. "Hon we need to get you out of the castle or else you're going to not be happy at all" said Allie dragging her along. "How can I even think? The Atlantica music festival is tomorrow and I keep thinking of my friends!" she said. "Mel relax! This will pick you right up" said Jordan dragging her into a karaoke club. "Jordan's right Mel, even me and her both know how good you can sing" said Allie.
Mel's name was called and she went up on stage.
"I will now sing a song…and its dedicated to two heroes I know very well"
The music started and the lights went round
Bobbing to the beat, melody sang along with the screen
"Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream
of what I need...I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life"
Everyone clapped to the beat and Mel gained more confidence. She continued.
"Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet. I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life"
"Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood''
She finished with twirls and sang
"I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life…I need a hero!"
Everyone went crazy and applauded. Mel suddenly hoped that thinking of tip and dash would get her through her song at the concert tomorrow.
