Chapter 4- The Sing-Off

A/N: I have nothing to say. How unlike me! I do not own Pair of Kings. Or any of the songs I feature in this story.

No POV:

"Hello, I'm Rachel Retpa! I'll be the host tonight for your Kinkowan Sing-Off! We'll start off with Oliver Oken against our own King Brady Parker! The winner will compete against the winner of the match against Lilly Truscott and Mikayla Makoola! Let's get ready to SING!"

Rachel stepped back to reveal two boys wearing the same outfit. A black T-shirt, black skinny jeans and red Converse with black laces. The only difference is that one wore a crown. They glared at each other.

"I can't believe you, Oken." The one without a crown said.

The one with a crown looked confused. "But, you're Oken!"

"Okay, first up… Oliver Oken!" There were a lot of boos from the crowd.

"You heard them. Go on up, Oliver!" No crown said.

Crown rolled his eyes. "Just go Oken."

No crown seemed to think about it. "Fine. I guess I'm Oliver Oken. I'll be singing my new song, Because You Live.

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heartIt's the end of the world in my mindThen your voice pulls me back like a wake up callI've been looking for the answerSomewhereI couldn't see that it was right thereBut now I know what I didn't knowBecause you live and breatheBecause you make me believe in myself when nobody else can helpBecause you live, girlMy world has twice as many stars in the skyIt's alright, I survived, I'm alive againCuz of you, made it through every stormWhat is life, what's the use if you're killing timeI'm so glad I found an angelSomeoneWho was there when all my hopes fellI wanna fly, looking in your eyesBecause you live and breatheBecause you make me believe in myself when nobody else can helpBecause you live, girlMy world has twice as many stars in the skyBecause you live, I liveBecause you live there's a reason whyI carry on when I lose the fightI want to give what you've given me alwaysBecause you live and breatheBecause you make me believe in myself when nobody else can helpBecause you live, girlMy world has twice as many stars in the skyBecause you live and breatheBecause you make me believe in myself when nobody else can helpBecause you live, girlMy world has everything I need to surviveBecause you live, I live, I live"

Everyone cheered. Lilly yelled. "That's my boyfriend!"

Oliver shook his head. "No, this song wasn't for you Lilly. It was for Mikayla."

Everyone gaped at him, except for Lilly. She burst into tears. Mikayla peered at him. "Brady?"

Just as Oliver was going to respond, when Rachel interrupted. "That was Oliver Oken. Next up, Brady Parker!"

Brady stepped up and nervously looked at Lilly and then Mikayla. "Actually… that was Brady. I'm Oliver. This song is for Lilly as an apology for lying about who I am." He tossed the crown to the real Brady and began to sing.

Lilly teared up. "Oh, Olly-Pop!"

Oliver sighed in relief. "Oh, Lilly-Pop!"

They hugged.

Rachel smiled. "Okay, I've consulted our judges. The winner of this round is… Brady Parker!"

Everyone burst into applause.

Rachel then added. "The REAL Brady. Now, It's Lilly Truscott's turn. Go ahead Lilly!"

Lilly got up on stage and giggled. "Hi, I'm Lilly Truscott! I'm going to be singing a song that I wrote. It's about my Olly-Pop! It's called: You Are The Only One.

Forever is a long time, I'm not gonna lieIs that a promise you can make?Are we in the right place at the wrong time?Right now I really need some spaceTogether on the front lineLook me in the eye and tell it straight to my faceAre we gonna work it out or pack it in?I guess this is the chance we take'Cause you are the only one that gets meKnows me, feels me, has meAnd you are the only oneWho's close enough to drive me crazyFrustrate me, complicate meMake it harder than it needs to beBut the things that you do and the things that you sayMake me wanna stayEverything is alright some of the timeAre we going through a phase?Are we moving too fast, going too slow?Am I just afraid to make mistakes?I wanna keep it real now and don't make a soundI wanna see it in your eyesAre we gonna shake it up or knock it down?{ From: .net }But deep inside I know that we'll survive'Cause you are the only one that gets meKnows me, feels me, has meAnd you are the only oneWho's close enough to drive me crazyFrustrate me, complicate meMake it harder than it needs to beBut the things that you do and the things that you sayMake me wanna stayThrough the ups and downs I doI just wanna be with youWe're through'Cause you are the only one that gets meKnows me, feels me, has meAnd you are the only oneWho's close enough to drive me crazy'Cause you are the only one that gets meKnows me, feels me, has meAnd you are the only oneWho's close enough to drive me crazyFrustrate me, complicate meMake it harder than it needs to beBut the things that you do and the things that you sayMake me wanna stayBut the things that you do and the things that you sayMake me wanna stay"

Oliver yelled, "Go Lilly!" As the whole audience began to break into applause.

Rachel nodded. "Truly spectacular. Now, Mikayla Makoola, show your stuff!"

Mikayla took a big breath and began, "I wrote this one a while ago. It's about someone special to me. I hope you like it. I call it 'Could it Be.'

I know we've been friends foreverBut now I think I'm feeling something totally newAnd after all this time I opened up my eyesNow I see you were always with meCould it be you & INever imaginedCould it be suddenly I'm fallin' for youCould it be you were right here beside me and I never knewCould it be that it's true thatIt's you and it's youIt's kinda funny you were always nearBut who would ever thought we'd end up hereAnd every time I need you, you've been there for meNow it's clear I've been waiting for youCould it be you & INever imaginedCould it be suddenly I'm fallin' for youCould it be you were right here beside me and I never knewCould it be that it's true thatIt's you and it's you

'Cause today is the start of the rest of our livesI can see it in your eyesAnd it's real, and it's trueIt's just me and youCould it be that it's youCould it be you & INever imaginedCould it be suddenly I'm fallin' for youCould it be you were right here beside me and I never knewCould it be that it's true thatIt's you and it's youOh it's you."

Rachel signaled to her cameras. "That's a wrap! Tomorrow, it'll be announced who won this round! Then will come the final show! Thank you Kinkow!"

A/N: Please, review saying whether you want it to be Mikayla or Lilly against Brady! Thank you. I'll update after I've gotten at least three votes. If it's a tie, then we'll do a three-way sing-off! Thank you Earth!
