Week Two: Personal Solos
Okay, thanx to all who reviewed the last chapter! Honestly, you guys ROCK!!!!! This chapter is basically about eh cats singing songs that appeal to theri personalities. I dont own warriors, or American Idol.
"Our second week has started, and this is the first week where we will begin to vote off contestents. Welcome, to StarClan Idol!"
I grin as the crowd cheers loudly.
"Introducing our judges, Blackstar," no applause. "Leopardstar," the stadium explodes. "Onestar," she cats cheer. "And Firestar." Now that his face had healed, the she-cats are all over him again.
"Our contestents had to oick a song that relates to thier personality today. First up, is Crowfeather!"
This time. This place.
Misued, Mistakes.
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance. Just one breath.
Just in case theres just one left.
'Cause you know.
You know.
You Know
That I love you.
I have loved you all along.
And I miss you.
Been far away for far too long.
I keep dreaming you'll be with me.
and you'll never go.
Stop breathing if
I dont see you anymore.
So far away
Been far away for far too long.
So far away
Been far away for far to long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted.
I wanted you to stay.
'Cause I needed.
I need to hear you say.
That I love you.I have loved you all along.
And I forgive you.
For being away for far too long.
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it.
Hold on to me and never let me go.
Keep breathing.
Hold on to me and never let me go.
Keep breathing.
Hold on to me and never let me go."
He finished to enormous applause. Leopardstar got up and started clapping. Onestar was looking excited.
"Blackstar!" I say.
"Pa-th-et-ic." Blackstar says cooly.
"BOO!" says the crowd. Leopardstar gets up and 'booos' with them. I purr in amusement.
"Leopardstar!" I cry.
"I lovvvvved it." purrs Leopardstar happily.
"Onestar." I say.
Onestar is taking a gold, shiny necklace out of his bag. "This is for you, Crowfeather!" he woops. "You're a member of my dog pound." he pauses and smiles at me. "Sootfur, you're cool too. You can be a member of my dog pound too" he says happily, tossing a piece of bling up to me. I examine the bling. Its says:
Hororary Member of
Da Dawg Pound
I grin and slip the bling around my neck.
"Firestar."
"I want bling too!" Firestar whines. I stare at Onestar. We both know that Firestar will never give up. Onestar sighs and gives him a bling too.
"Lets bring out our next act, Squirrelflight!!!!!" I say.
"Its funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside.
I'm standing here, but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could Happen?
Cause now I have to pretend
That I dont really care.
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping.
A wish upon a star, thats coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings
With the truth
When there was me and you
Now I know your not a fairy tale
And dreams are meant for sleeping
And wished upon a star
Just dont come true
Cause now even I could tell
That I confused my feelings
With the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you.
The crowd cheered and stood up when she finished. I realized that this probably related to her relationship with Brambleclaw.
"Blackstar." I say, expecting the worst.
"How many languages can you say 'sucked' in?" he says idly.
Squirrelflight flattened her ears and snarled.
"Leopardstar." I say lightly.
"It was throughly enjoyable." she says sweetly.
"Onestar." I say cheerfully.
"I'd make you a member of my dawg pound, but no she-cats allowed." he says. A she-cat form the crowd comes over and slaps him.
"Thats not what you told me!" she said scandalized.
I purr lightly and signal Firestar.
"It was wonderful sweetheart." he says warmly, staring at his daughter with watery eyes.
"Our next contestant is Brambleclaw!" hmm, conicidence?
Brambleclaw had been staring at Squirrelflight with an unreadable expressions. his eyes huge. But then he closed hsi eyes and, when he opened them, they bore the glare of determination.
"I watched the proverbial sunrise,
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind
But I, will shy, away from the specifics
'casue I dont want you to know
Where I am
'Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state its ever been
This is no place, to try and save my life.
Stop right there.
Thats exactly where I lost it.
See that line,
Well I never should have crossed it
Stop right there,
Well I never should have that.
That its the very moment that
I wish that I could take back
I'm sorry for the person I've became
I sorry that, it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to, be sure I'll never become that way again.
'cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been.
And I cant let that happen again.
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state its ever been
this is no place to try and live my life.
Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I've been.
'Cause who I've been, only ever made me
So sorry for, the person I became
So sorry that, it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to, show that I'll never become that way again.
'cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been."
The crowd cheered for several minutes straight. And, just when the applause was dying down, and I was preparing to ask Blackstar for his opinion, something completely unexpected happened.
Squirrelflight came bounding forward. Brambleclaw began to open his mouth, perhaps to explain, but he never got the chance. Squirrelflight pressed her muzzle deeply agaisnt his and purred loud enough for the entire crowd to hear.
The crowd cheered again for another few minutes. Finally, it died down. Squirrelflight remained on stage with Brambleclaw, twining her tail with his.
"Blackstar." I say happily.
"The romance." he says softly. Then his voice hardens. "This is a competition, not a soap opera. If you wanna be all lovey-dovey, go try out for one."
The crowd boos him silent. Brambleclaw doesnt see bothered at all.
"Leopardstar."
Leopardstar is clapping and cheering so loudly, that all she can do is throw me a thumbs up.
"Onestar."
"Welcome to da dawg pound dude." he says. He tosses a medallion forward. Squirrelflight ties it around his neck.
"Firestar." I say, slightly cautions.
Firestar clears his throat. "Brambleclaw, when the show's over, its time you and I had a little talk." he says. Brambleclaw nodds, and I catch a quick wiff of fear scent.
"Give up for Leafpool!"
2am and she calls me cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I dont love him. Newleaf just wasnt my season.
Yeah we walk through the doors, accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize.
Hypocrites. You're all here for the verysame reason.
Cause you cant jump the track. We're like cars on a cable.
And life's like an hour glass glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in you hands.
And breathe.. just breathe.
Oh breathe... just breathe.
There's a light at each end of this tunnel.
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out.
And these mistakes you've made, you'lll just make them again.
If you'll only try turning around.
.Cause you cant jump the track. We're like cars on a cable.
And life's like an hour glass glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in you hands.
And breathe.. just breathe.
woah breathe.. just breathe..
Oh breathe... just breathe.
Oh breathe, just breathe.
The crowd is cheering. Some are crying. Firestar looks a bit tearful.
"Blackstar."
"I had to tell myself to 'breathe' during that song so I didnt die of boredum." he scoffs. Yowls of protest break out. Firestar stands up.
This cant be good. I think bracingly.
"Thats my daughter your talking to, Blackstar." he says.
"Thats right." Blackstar smiles. "Her performances must take after yours."
Firestar growls low in his throat. He hisses at Blackstar.
"Well at least she dosent take after your performances." Firestar spits. "How many suicidial wannabees can one forest hold?"
Blackstar snarls at Firestar.
"Leopardstar." I say, hoping to break up the quarry. Firestar sticks out his tongue at Blackstar before sitting back down
"You have talent." she smiles. The crowd cheers.
"Onestar." I say, begining to relax.
"You rock." he says.
"Firestar." I say, preparing for something truely embarrssing to Leafpool.
"I'm raising your allowance sweetie." he says charmingly.
"But you didnt raise my allowance!" Squirrelflight protests.
"You have a boyfriend. Get him to pay for you." Firestar says.
"Ok, our next act is Mistyfoot!"
" Makin' my way downtown.
faces past, walking fast
And I' home bound.
Staring blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
makin' a way through the crowd.
And I need you.
And I miss you.
And now I wonder.
If I could fall, into the sky.
Do you think time, would pass me by.
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you
Tonight.
I, I dont wanna let you go.
I, I drown in you memory.
I, I dont wnat to let this go.
I, I dont.
" Makin' my way downtown.
faces past, walking fast
And I' home bound.
Staring blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
makin' a way through the crowd.
And I still need you.
And I still miss you.
And now I wonder..
If I could fall, into the sky.
Do you think time, would pass me by.
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you
If I could just hold you...
Tonight.
The crowd stood up and cheered. Leopardstar got up and started off the wave. It took several minutes for this to end.
"I think it would take a 1000 mile walk to get me out of range of your screeching." Blackstar says snapingly.
" Oh come on BOO!" Leopardstar says."Boo! she has the crowd saying. She even started a cheer.
"Who do we hate?" she aksed.
"BLACKSTAR!" the crowd said together.
"And why to we hate him?"
"HE SMELLS FUNNY!"
"Hey, I happen to wear a most expensive perfume imported from Peru." Blackstar says.
"Where Peru?" Leopardstar asks.
"Seeing as Leopardstar's views stand without saying, we'll go to Onestar." I say, half amused, half annoyed.
"I felt it." Onestar says.
Awkward silence. Mistyfoot blinks.
"Side stepping the though of what exactly Onestar felt.." i say uncovertably.
Firestar coughs. "Um.. I liked it." he says. "It was sulfur.. no thats not right.. soofur, sootfur? Maybe.. super?"
"Superb?" I offer lightly.
"Thats the one!" Firestar says.
