Frutti Music Bar…
The place was packed. Tons of people had come to see the bands. The girls were the first ones up and they were all nervous.
"There are a lot of people here. I'm not sure I can do this." Flora looked out at the crowd. That's when she made eye contact with Helia. He and the rest of the guys were passing out drinks. The look in his eye seemed odd to Flora. They did not have the look of someone who wanted to break up they had a look of love. Flora shook it off. It was only her imagination.
"Yes you can Flora. Just remember the feeling you had when you wrote it." Musa encouraged.
Flora took a deep breath. Musa was right. She could do this.
"Wait!"
"What is it Stella?"
"Well since you will be lead singer tonight you should have a special outfit." Stella waved her hand and changed Flora's usual band outfit.
Flora was now wearing ripped, light blue skinny jeans, a studded belt, black cowgirl boots, a bunch of leather bracelets, and a black sleeveless midriff top wit a pink rose on it.
"Very rocker. I like it." Layla said when she saw the outfit.
Flora smiled. This was very unlike her usual looks. Just what she wanted to show that she had moved on from Helia.
Then Roxy walked up to the girls. "Hey guys I just came to wish you good luck. And Flora I'm so sorry about Helia."
"It's okay Roxy."
"And now our first band of the night, let me introduce…. THE WINX!"
The girls all ran up on stage and took their places. Helia looked at Flora and was absolutely stunned. She looked amazing.
"I would like to dedicate this to someone who gave me great inspiration." Flora said into the mic.
(Stronger by Britney Spears)
Ooh hey, yeah
Hush, just stop
There's nothing you can do or say, baby
I've had enough
I'm not your property as from today, baby
You might think that I won't make it on my own
But now I'm…
[Chorus:]
Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My lonliness ain't killing me no more
I'm stronger
Helia knew that the song was about his recent break up with her. He now felt even lower then before.
That I ever thought that I could be, baby
I used to go with the flow
Didn't really care 'bout me
You might think that I can't take it, but you're wrong
'Cause now I'm…
[CHORUS:]
Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My lonliness ain't killing me no more
I'm stronger
Come on, now
Oh, yeah
Here I go, on my own
I don't need nobody, better off alone
Here I go, on my own now
I don't need nobody, not anybody
Here I go, Here I go, Here I go, alright, here I go, here I go
[Repeat CHORUS]
Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My lonliness ain't killing me no more
I'm, I'm stronger
Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My lonliness ain't killing me no more
I'm, I'm stronger
Stronger than yesterday
Now it's nothing but my way
My lonliness ain't killing me no more
I'm, I'm stronger
The crowd went wild. The girls ran off the stage.
"Wow that was awesome. The crowd just ate it up. Good job Flora."
"Thanks Bloom." Flora smiled.
"That was quite a song." Everyone turned around and saw a guy talking to them. He was tall and had shaggy brown hair that went to his shoulders. He had deep green eyes. He was wearing a tight black v-neck t-shirt and jeans. "Hi, let me introduce myself, my name is Hunter and this is my band." He pointed to a group of guys behind him.
"Oh hi, my name is Flora. These are my friends; Bloom, Stella, Layla, Roxy, Tecna, and Musa."
"Well tell me Flora did you write that song?'
"Ah…yeah I did."
"Was it from a recent experience?" Flora blushed. She did not want to tell this Hunter guy how recent it really was. "It's cool you don't have to tell me. I just have to say you have a lot of talent."
"And now our next band let me introduce…KING OF ACES!"
"Well that's us. Good luck with your next song." But before Hunter left he gave Flora a wink.
"I can't believe it. That cutie is our main competiton." Stella exclaimed.
"Well if I didn't know any better I would think he was flirting with our Flora." Layla nudged Flora making her blush once again.
"Oh please. He was not. And besides its way to soon. Helia and I only broke up yesterday."
"Hey guys be quiet they are about to sing." Musa motioned the girls to come and listen with her.
(Secret Valentine by We the Kings)
Soft kiss and wine
What a pretty friend of mine
We're finally intertwined
Nervous and shy for the moment we will come alive
Tonight
Secret valentine
[Chorus:] We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's for nothing at all
Lay down, be still
Don't worry talk they will
I'll be loving you until
Morning's first light
Breaks tomorrow
I'll take care of you tonight
Secret Valentine
[Chorus:]
We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's for nothing at all
When guilt fills your head
Brush off rise up from the dead
This is the moment that we will come alive
Brace yourself for love
Sweet love, secret love
[Chorus:]
We'll write a song that turns out the lights
When both boy and girl start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's for nothing at all (We'll write a song)
That turn's out the lights
When both boy and girl start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's for nothing at all
Nothing at all
The song ended and once again the crowd went wild.
"Wow Jason wasn't kidding. Those guys are really good." Musa said as she watched the guys walk off stage.
"Well they are good, but we are better." Layla said.
"Alright for our last performance we have….THE SPECIALISTS!"
"WHAT?" All the girls yelled at once. They watched as the boys all came up on stage.
Riven walked up to the mic. "This song was written by our very own Helia."
"Hey Flora I didn't know Helia wrote songs." Tecna said.
"I didn't either."
"It makes sense, he writes poetry after all."
"Tecna be quiet I want to hear Riven."
(One in a Million by Run Kid Run)
To my surprise I found my daylight
In summer skies yeah whoa
Colors came out in waves
When I first saw your face shine through
A spotlight fell that day
I'll make this loud so you can hear me say
Hey there one in a million
I feel alive as our love it collides
You put life into motion
You've got me spinning
Your spinning me out of control
"Hey Flora I think Helia wrote this when he was thinking of you."
"Yeah right Bloom. If that was true then why would he break up with me?"
But Flora couldn't help what wonder if she was right.
Girl dream big
We'll do it all
When the city calls
Hand in hand this is love
Buildings tower over us
Your a queen won't you dance won't you sing
Your melody (your melody)
Smile for the best days exist
I'm the luckiest your the reason for this
Hey there one in a million
I feel alive as our love it collides
You put life into motion
You've got me spinning
Your spinning me out of control
As my life explodes
You've got me hanging on i'm hanging on
I'm out of control as my life explodes
You've got me hanging on forever
We're hanging on together
We're hanging on forever
Hey there one in a million
Hey there one in a million
One in a million
Life's in motion
You've got me spinning
As our world's collide
Hey there one in a million
I feel alive as our love it collides
You put life into motion
You've got me spinning
Your spinning me out of control.
I'm outta of control
Hey there one in a million
The boys finish their song and the crowd is there loudest yet.
"Wow they really loved Helia's song." Musa watched as the crowd was still clapping.
"Come on I think we need to go talk to them." Stella started marching over to the boys.
"You guys go ahead. I'm going to stay here."
"You sure Flora?" Tecna asked.
"Yeah I'm positive."
Flora watched as they went to talk to their boyfriends. She stood on the other side of the stage…alone.
