The crowd screamed as Crookedstar and the crew came onstage, smiling and waving. Soon after, they practically exploded as Thrushpelt padded into the right seat, followed by Crowfeather, who had returned from his well-deserved trip to Hawaii. Finally, Silverstream sat at the far left, smiling and nudging Crowfeather, friendly.
Willowbreeze grabbed a microphone and spoke. "The first act of this episode is here! Everyone, please welcome Goldenflower!" She set it down and nodded the beautiful she-cat onstage.
The toms went wild as Goldenflower came on, a- well- golden flower nestled between her head fur and her left ear. She walked over to the microphone, took a deep breath, and cued the music. The lights dimmed as she lost herself in the music.
"I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said,
"Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to survive."
You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
I'm searching and scanning for answers
In every line
For some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to
Burn
Burn
You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world how you brought
This girl into our bed
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you'd done?
She said,
"You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun."
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy...
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you
You, you, you…
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
Burn
Watching it burn
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You'll sleep in your office instead
With only the memories
Of when you were mine
I hope that you
Burn…"
Silverstream nodded, sobbing, and then pressed 'like'. Crowfeather pressed 'dislike', frowning slightly. A few single tears dripped down his face. Thrushpelt pinned his ears back, giving Crowfeather a slight hiss, and slammed on the 'like' button.
Willowbreeze clapped as Goldenflower left. SHe picked up the mike again. "Next up is Ravenpaw and Company, singing a song from our own favorite Legally Blonde!"
The cast spilled in, delivering a stunning performance of "Gay or European". Crowfeather pressed 'dislike', as Thrushpelt pressed 'like'. Silverstream hedged for a moment before pressing 'like' as well, clearly dissatisfied with the decision.
As they left, Willowbreeze raised her eyebrows but continued. "Alright, alright! Lastly tonight we've got Tallstar, Jake, and Heatherstar singing 'Sincerely Me' from DEAR EVAN HANSEN!" She screamed the last words, riling up the crowd.
Tallstar looked at Jake and the music people, cueing the start of the song. He then ran over to Heatherstar and huddled over a laptop.
"Dear Evan Hansen, we've been way too out of touch." Began Jake, and the crowd roared. Soon they were laughing so hard that some fainted as Tallstar shoved over Heatherstar angrily. "WHY WOULD YOU WRITE THAT?!" "I'm just trying to tell the truth." She retorted.
By the end, all the judges were crying of laughter. They had all waited until the end to press 'like' so that they wouldn't stop.
"It's anonymous!" Said Crookedstar, flashing his signature twisted smile at the crowd. "Tallstar, Jake, and Heatherstar will be continuing on! Thank you and good night!" The lights dimmed and a few back lights flickered on so that the audience could drain out, and the episode was finished.
