Repairing the Past Chapter 10: The CD Signing, a pokémon fanfic

Okay, so I was supposed to be doing my homework but I like to procrastinate so I decided to update this story. I have to type later anyway for my drama script so I thought since I would be in Microsoft anyway I thought why not type up the next chapter. So I realized that I made their meeting up again way too similar and I feel like a fail. I'm sorry! Don't hate me.

Well, now that I'm finished spazzing out, I've decided that I'll try to update at least one of my stories weekly. If I don't, then feel free to spam my inbox and it might motivate me.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Pokémon characters in any way or the songs at all.

Chapter Nine: The CD Signing

Normal POV:

Roxanne was waiting downstairs, arms crossed and tapping her foot. It was already ten-thirty in the morning and it was the day of the recording studio and the CD signing at the mall for the girls. They are supposed to be at the recording studio by eleven-thirty and be at the mall at one-thirty. One problem, the girls aren't even ready yet. Roxanne decided to take a seat at one of the cream colored loveseat and took out her phone. She sent the girls very threating messages. She put her phone away and hummed a melody and within seconds, the girls were downstairs panting and ready to go.

"You didn't have to scare us like that, you know," Misty said in between pants.

Roxanne rolled her eyes, "But I wouldn't get a response back so texting is more assuring. Now hurry or you'll be late for both the recording studio and CD signing," she rushed, ushering the girls out the house.

They hopped into Roxanne's car and soon they were off to Rock Records. Within just a half hour, they arrived and rushed in only to be met by the sound producers and everyone else in the booth ready to see the girls in action, "About time you girls arrived," Ryan, one the producers, said.

"Sorry, but we needed to make sure we had the song down and ready to go," Dawn apologized.

He gave a the group a skeptical look and moved aside for them to make their way to the booth, "Let's here the new single then,"

The girls went in the booth and had Leaf stand in the center again. Soon, they started recording and in just one hour, they were finished.

"So why'd you guys write this type of song?" Roxanne asked when they came out of the booth. She, along with the other music producers, was curious.

The four exchanged looks and glances, "Well, you know, the music just poured out. That's all," Leaf explained. They didn't want anyone to know what happened that night.

"No meaning to it whatsoever?" Roxanne asked eyebrow raised.

They shook their heads, "Nope, just some feelings that's all," May replied with a nervous laugh.

Roxanne decided to drop the subject, "Okay, well now it's time to go the CD signing. Let's go now if you want to make it on time," she said getting her purse.

"Okay!" they yelled excitingly in unison.

They went back to Roxanne's car and soon, they were on their way to Silver Stone Mall, where the CD signing would be held at. Halfway there, they were met by a huge traffic.

The girls groaned, "Why does there have to be traffic right now of all times?" Dawn asked.

"Can't you find a way out of here?" Misty asked.

Roxanne looked at their surroundings looking to see if she can find an opening. Every car was in the way, so obviously there wasn't an opening and trying to leave will be really difficult, "No can do, girls. We're stuck until…who knows when."

The girls let out another groan, "So much for being excited about the signing," Leaf said.

The traffic continued for a good twenty minutes when Roxanne spotted an opening and quickly rushed into the spot. After another fifteen grueling minutes, they made it to the mall and the girls got out of the car with sunglasses on hoping no one would notice them. They made it inside safe with Roxanne and went to the spot they were going to do the signing. There was already a huge line waiting from the table with teens and pre-teens.

When they saw the girls, they started screaming and was going to go trample them but luckily, the security came and backed up out. They went back to their single file line and the girls took their seats, ready to sign autographs. Each person/fan even had an opportunity to take a picture with the four and everyone did get a picture with them.

In two and a half hour, they were finally finished but fans were still there, "Will you please sing us some songs?" one of them asked.

The four girls exchanged looks and looked at Roxanne. She gave them the 'Do-it-for-the-fans' look. "Um, sure, just let us set up," Leaf said.

The fans cheered and then started waiting and talking while the girls were setting up the stage and deciding the song.

Meanwhile:

"Tell me again why we're at the mall again," Paul asked the guys while their girlfriends were shopping.

Gary shrugged, "Just let them have their fun,"

"Hey, there's going to be a concert in fifteen minutes!" Brianna exclaimed loud enough for the guys to hear, hoping they would bring them there.

Drew sighed, "I'm thinking they want us to take them. We should if we want to escape complaining later," he said walking up to his girlfriend.

Back to the girls:

"Look who decided to show up at the concert," May said spotting the group.

The three girls followed May's gaze and saw them as well. A smirk went on Leaf's face, "Shall we perform our new song just for them?"

The others got what she meant and smirked as well, "I think we should. They should at least know that they have a song just for them," Dawn said.

"Are you girls ready?" one of the crew asked.

"Yup, all ready and set to go!" May said happily.

"Well let's get into position now," Misty said.

May and Dawn went to the respective guitars with Misty heading to her blue drum set. Dawn and May started to tune their guitars and playing a feel notes together to make sure they had the notes down and ready to go while Misty was playing some pieces of the song to see if she had it ready. Leaf was standing in front of the microphone to see if it was working right. Then, it was show time.

"Good afternoon, shoppers. How are you all today?" Leaf asked, trying to get the audience to get riled up. She looked around the audience and quickly took notice of them. The looks on the girls faces amused Leaf, "Okay, so we'll start off with singing one of our new songs, so hope you enjoy it!" she yelled happily.

Better Than Revenge

The song started off with Misty using her sticks and banging the drums, skillfully. The beat of the drums went smoothly and it was soon followed by May and Dawn's guitar part. Their fingers glided gracefully during each strum it that it felt like they weren't even playing it.

Leaf:

Ha, time for a little revenge

Leaf started rocking her head back and fourth and started tapping her foot.

The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him along, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
I never saw it coming, nor did I suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

Leaf then proceeded to walk around the stage and dancing along with her friends. From the corner of her eye, she can see that Brianna and her friends were frowning. This made her smirk.

Together:

She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha

May and Dawn started on their guitar solo, harmonizing it perfectly. It made the audience cheer even louder but it made Brianna and her friends glare at them, which the group found surprisingly amusing. As for their boyfriends, they were somewhat amused that the song was meant for their girlfriends but somewhat furious at what they were doing.

Leaf went back to the center, and put her lips so close to the microphone, it looked like she her lips were touching it. Misty started to close her eyes and let the beat of the music take her away and started to sway her head back and fourth.

Leaf:

She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And, she thinks I'm psycho
Cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school
So it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

Again, May and Dawn made a perfect guitar harmonization, with their eyes closed, that the audience awed in envy. Those two made it look like they've been practicing for weeks for this song when it actually took them a day to learn.

Together:

Leaf removed the mike from the stand and went to dance around Dawn. While she was doing this, May and Dawn started to play a little slower on the notes. Leaf strutted next to Dawn and started on the next verse.

Leaf and Dawn:

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but I always get the last word
Whoa

From there, Dawn and May started doing their solo, making it into a perfect harmony while Leaf was dancing around the stage with Misty banging the drums like a professional. The girls each found Brianna's group and sent them smirks without anyone noticing. Leaf settled back at the center and closed her eyes.

Leaf:

Together:

And do you still feel like you know what you're doing,
Cause I don't think you do, Oh
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you can say sabotage

The girls finished the song with a deafening loud scream. Luckily, the girls were trained to get used to these types to screams and looked back at the Brianna's group. They were now glaring at the band and had annoyed expressions on their faces. This only made Heartbeat smirk and amused.

"Okay, so that was our new song and you guys here are the first to ever hear it, live!" Leaf yelled excitingly to the audience, making them scream even more. Leaf giggled before continuing, "Okay, now let's give a warm welcome to May!" she introduced.

Leaf went to her keyboard while May took lead singer with her guitar, "Glad to be here today. This song has been written for a while now and I feel like our fans should enjoy it as much as we do," she said with true sincerity in her eyes. She turned to the girls and nodded to them with them nodding back.

The Way I Loved You

Dawn and May started strumming their guitars with Misty's drumming in the background. It was soon audible for the audience to hear and was soon harmonized with the guitars. May stopped and let it hang on her shoulders while Dawn kept playing hers.

May:

He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and i get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine

Together:

But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's two am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

May started to play her guitar again as she joined Dawn with the solo. She was now back to back with Dawn and when the second verse came around, she went back to the mike.

May:

He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable

Together:

Again, May started her guitar solo with Dawn with Misty playing in the background. She let the rhythm of the music take her away. This part has always been one of her favorite parts. When the third verse came around, May moved next to Leaf and sang with her.

May and Leaf:

He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating, intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now

Leaf then expertly shifted back to her keyboard, and let May finish her song.

May:

I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's two am and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I love you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh

And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

May finished with her voice dropping to a mere whisper in the end. Her eyes wandered off to Drew and noticed that he was a little spaced out. It looked as if he was remembering something. May shook her head and turned her attention back to the screaming audience who looked like they wanted more singing.

"So, who's ready for our last performance from both Misty and Dawn?" May asked.

The crowd erupted into loud cheering and Misty got up from her drums while Dawn was setting down her guitar. Leaf went to play the drums as Misty's replacement while May moved a little to back to give room for the two girls but was still able to be seen by the audience.

Dawn and Misty each grabbed a mike and Misty turned her back to the audience while Dawn faced the audience, who were still screaming and had started clapping. They gave May and Leaf a ready nod and a nodded back.

Give It Up

May started off with her strumming and was soon joined by Leaf's drumming and Misty and Dawn dancing to the beat. Then Misty both turned to the audience.

Misty:

Someday I let you in
Treat you right
Drive you out of your mind
Oh

Misty walked back and Dawn walked up, singing her part of the song.

Dawn:

You never met a chick like me
Burn so bright
I'm gonna make you blind

Dawn backed up a little while Misty walked up next to her and from there; they started dancing along with the beat of the music and singing.

Together:

Always want what you can't have
But is it so bad if you don't get what you wanted
Make you feel good
As I'm with you
Let me shape you
Let's get it started

Give it up
You can't win
Cause I know where you've been
Such a Shame
You don't put up a fight
It's a game
That we play
at the end of the night
It's the same old story
But you never get it right
Give it up
Yeahhhhhhhh oh oh

The two made their way to the edge of the stage and started to dance around and swaying their hips back and fourth, earning more cheering and screaming from the fans.

Paul stood there, amazed that Dawn could sing and hold such high notes. He had never expected her to be able to do something like that. He was snapped from his thoughts when he heard whistling's and looked up to see what she was doing, 'What is that troublesome up to?'

Together:

Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby baby

Misty:

So stop trying to walk away
No you won't ever leave me behind

Dawn:

No, you better believe that I'm here to stay

Misty:

That's right

Dawn:

Cuz you're the shade
And I'm the sunshine
Ooh

Together:

Look at me boy cause I got you where I want you
Isn't it so exciting
Wanna shake you
Wanna break you
Take a backseat boy
Cuz now I'm driving

Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby baby
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby baby

Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby
Yes you are my baby
and I'll make you crazy tonight

Look at me boy cause I got you where I want you

Then different color lights shined on the four girls. A green light shined on Leaf while she was playing the drums while a red light shined on May and both the color pink and blue shined on the two singers in the center.

Isn't it so exciting
Wanna shake you
Wanna break you
Take a backseat boy
Cuz now I'm driving

Misty and Dawn finished it off with a long high note and when they were done, the crowd was going insane. They both bowed and motioned May and Leaf to come forward and the four girls bowed, "Thank you so much for having us today," May said.

"We hope you all enjoyed our songs and have a great time shopping," Dawn said happily.

The crowd cheered again and soon, they started to go shop. The four girls stayed behind to help pack up their instruments, "Are you girls going home now?" Roxanne asked.

"Nah, we're going to stay for a while and shop. Are you going now?" May asked.

"Since you guys are going to shop for a while, I guess I should do some shopping too. Okay, we'll meet here in about two hours. Agreed?" she dealed.

The four girls agreed and since they only had two hours, they decided to split up and shop as much as they could.

Misty's POV:

All that singing made me tired and thirsty. That last song with Dawn was really upbeat. I decided to get a bottle of water to refresh myself before shopping. I started to walk and shop for some shirts and maybe some new boots if I can find some.

While I was enjoying my time, I saw Ash with his girlfriend. I'm kind of surprised that they're still together after the news. Ash must have saw me because he smiled and waved at me when that girl of his wasn't looking. A warm smile formed my lips and I found myself wave back.

May's POV:

Playing those guitar solos can really hurt your fingers. I'm used to it by now but when I'm shopping and it's hurting, it can really irk the hell out of a person. I can't even enjoy a simple shopping trip without my fingers hurting. Hmm, I wonder if Brendan left for his filming yet. Maybe I can get him to carry my bags. But I don't want to waste my time to wait, especially if there's going to be traffic when he comes, so nevermind.

I continued to walk and came across a cute little ice cream parlor. My stomach started to growl and the place was really tempting me. Since it was getting kind of embarrassing, I decided to get something and eat it there. Too bad it was ruined by somebody. Or shall I say two somebody's. There, stood the self-centered Grasshead and his annoying brat of a girlfriend. I looked away, trying to avoid eye contact with him. Unfortunately, he saw me because he flicked his hair and smirked my way.

Dawn's POV:

This place is like heaven for me! I've already went through ten stores in just fifteen minutes. They all had such nice clothes and I just had to get them. Of course, I got a little something for the girls too. Hmm, all this shopping is getting me hungry though. I used up all my energy during the last song with Misty. That song can really take your breath away.

I saw a frozen yogurt place and decided to get one. Once I paid, I left with a cup in hand and shopping bags around both my wrists. I walked around for a while and then came across one of my favorite stores of all time, Gilly Hicks. I mentally squealed to myself and threw my half eaten cup of frozen yogurt in the trash can and quickly made my way to the store.

I went straight to the shorts and skirts. While looking around, I saw this really cute pink floral skirt. It was the last one too. I reached for it and picked it up only to have it lifted up from another person on the other side. I looked up and saw that same girl with Paul next to her.

"Excuse me, but I saw this first," she said as politely as she could.

Oh, this wasn't going to be good.

Leaf's POV:

Hmm, what can I buy? I've been searching but came up with only a few layered shirts with some jeans and shorts. I continued walking a saw a cute little shop that sold pillows and other cute things. I made my way to the shop but was knocked down by a blond who didn't even care and continued running towards one of the stores that was behind me.

"Sorry about that, she's just excited,"

I recognized that voice. My eyes widened and I looked up only to meet his eyes. He was just as surprised as I was when he saw me, "Well, are you going to help me up?" I asked.

He held his hand out and helped me up. I dusted myself and picked up my shopping bags, "You should learn how to control and train that girl of yours,"

He frowned, "And you think that little song of yours was good? Please, it was just something for you to get back at my girlfriend,"

"Don't even lie to me. I saw that amused look on your face. You know it's true because your girlfriend is just another one of those brats who cares about no one but themselves,"

He looked taken back. Probably because he thought no one would have seen him. Then he smirked, "So you were looking for me, eh?"

I rolled my jade green eyes at him. Still a conceited jerk, "Just to see your girlfriend's expression so don't get ahead of yourself." I looked around hoping there weren't any paparazzi, "I'm gonna go now. Seeing you made me remember I have some trash to throw out," I spat out as if it was venom.

I didn't know what came over me, it just came out. His stupid cockiness always ruins everything. Before he had a chance to say anything, I walked away with bags in hand.

Sigh, you didn't change one bit didn't you?

~(:

Wow, I wasted a lot of time. I originally started at like 5-ish and I'm barely done at like 1 in the morning. Not to mention the edit which will take at least fifteen-twenty minutes?

So for those who are confused to Leaf playing the drums, here's the explanation: Since they all play music, they eventually learned how to play one another's instrument but not as good as the original person. They learned just for fun.

Like it said in the beginning, I do not own the music at all or the artists. If I did, I would be rich by now. Yes, the song Give It Up is from Victorious. I'm a fourteen year old girl who still watches it, bit whoop.

I kind of changed my style a bit with adding some actions in between the songs. Tell me if that is okay in the reviews because I want to know what my readers like to read about. So, review!
