Chapter 10

"What's that?" Soichiro and Mamoru asked simultaneously, coming down from their rooms. "Oh, that?" It's just Dong Yi and Kimi working on new songs. They want us to hear them today, and make the changes in time for practicing to get it right by next month's concert." Makoto said, serving them breakfasts of airy pancakes. "Rei, get those two to come down. I've called them once already, but knowing those two, they probably didn't hear." Michiru said, coming down dressed in a lilac wrap dress and white leggings. They heard a whoop from upstairs, and she giggled. "They probably got that song right." Rei went up to Kimiko's room and hollered, "Dong Yi! Kimi! Breakfast!" Kimiko and Dong Yi came down, Kimiko scribbling inside a small black notebook. She hummed to herself as she ate her breakfast, and she and Dong Yi disappeared to her room once more after breakfast.

One hour later...

"Re-ei, come and see if this is okay, will ya?" Kimiko called from her room. Rei, who had just finished her daily meditating, laughed as she strolled to the rose-scented room. "What?" "Whaddya think of this?" Dong Yi asked as Kimiko began singing.

"I'm blind-folded on this carriage ride that they call life.
Keep trying to make it through that next turn, knuckles white and holdin' tight.
So here I go, takin' the curve,
but I know that I'm never alone.
I think of you, and how you never let me go.

I feel connected (connected), protected (protected), it's like you're standing right with me all the time.
You hear me (you hear me), you're near me (you're near me),
and everything else is gonna be alright.
'Cause nothing can break this, nothing can break this, nothing can break this tie.
Connected... oooooh connected inside.

It's not an accident, the time we spent apart.
But now we're so close, I can always find you right here in my heart.
You've given me somethin' I need, and I don't ever want it to end.
Because of you, I know I've found my strength again.

I feel connected (connected), protected (protected), it's like you're standing right with me all the time.
You hear me (you hear me), you're near me (you're near me),
and everything else is gonna be alright.
'Cause nothing can break this, nothing can break this, nothing can break this tie.
Connected... ooooh connected inside.

Everytime that I breathe, I can feel the energy.

Reachin' out, flowin' through, you to me and me to you.

Wake or dream, walk or stand, you are everywhere I am.
Seperate souls, unified, touching at the speed of light.

I feel connected (connected), protected (protected), it's like you're standing right with me all the time.
You hear me, you're near me,
and everything else's gonna be alright.
connected (connected), protected (protected), it's like you're sitting right with me all the time.
You hear me, you're near me,
and everything else's gonna be alright.

'Cause nothing can break this, nothing can break this, nothing can break this tie.

connected, connected inside, connected, connected inside, connected."

Rei looked at them, astounded. "Girls, that was BRILLIANT! How did you manage?" "I dunno, we've been working on this and a few other songs for years." Dong Yi shrugged. "What else?" Rei asked, curious. Dong Yi smiled and began to sing.

"It's so rare to find a friend like you
Somehow when you're around, the sky is always blue
The way we talk, the things you say
The way you make it all ok
And how you know, all of my jokes, but you laugh anyway!

Kimiko joined in for the chorus

If I could wish for one thing, I'd take the smile that you bring
wherever you go in this world I'll come along!
Together we dream the same dream.
Forever I'm here for you, you're here for me.
Oh ooh oh
Two Voices, One Song

And anywhere you are,
you know I'll be around.
And when you call my name,
I'll listen for the sound!

If I could wish for one thing, I'd take the smile that you bring.
Wherever you go in this world, I'll come along!
Together we dream the same dream.
Forever I'm here for you,
you're here for me.
Oh ooh oh.
Two voices, one song.
Oh ooh oh.
Two voices, one song

Together we dream the same dream

Forever I'm here for you you're here for me

Oh ooh oh

Two voices, one song..."

Dong Yi finished and Rei clapped but looked thoughtful. "That one's nice, but I like the first one better. Is there anymore?" Kimiko grinned. Go tell the others that we're coming down. We've got two more songs, but we wanna sing all four to the others as well." Rei pouted, but nodded. "Kay." She rounded all the occupants of the house into the living room. When Dong Yi and Kimiko came down, sang the two songs and two more. The first one was 'You're the One' and the second was 'Believe'

"Some people say you can't be found
You're not around
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Some people say that you're not real
A fairytale
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

They say that dreams are for sleepin'
I'm wide awake and believin'
Open my eyes and see
You're right in front of me

You're the one
You're the one
I've known all along
You're the one
You're the one
You're all that I want

You're wild and free, strong enough for me
And what we have will never be undone
Oh, ooh, ooh, you're the one

Like the morning each dawn
You keep me holding on
Run away with me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
The way you are to me
You show me how to see tomorrow (tomorrow)
Tomorrow, tomorrow
You're the one
You're the one
I've known all along

You're the one...
You're the one...
You're the one...
You're the one...
Oh, ooh, ooh
You're the one"

Kimiko sang next.

"Hidden beneath the ground,
Is the spring that feeds the creek,
Invisible as the wind,
That you feel upon your cheek.

And every breeze that whispers,
Reminds us constantly,
Sometimes what's real,
Is something you can't see,

Believe in all that can be,
A miracle starts whenever you dream,
Believe and sing from your heart, you'll see

Your song will hold the key

Waiting behind the clouds,
Is a sky that's always clear
And chasing away the doubts,
You watch the sun appear

It's shining to remind you,
As each new day begins.
There's always hope if you just let it in

Believe in all that can be
A miracle starts whenever you dream
Believe and sing from your heart you'll see
Your song will hold the key

You can paint the stars,
You can touch the sky
Spread your wings and discover you can fly
Won't know until you try

Believe in all that can be
A miracle starts whenever you dream
Believe and sing from your heart you'll see
Your song will hold the key
Oohh,
Believe and dream what can be
Ask with your heart and you will receive
Believe the beauty is yours to see
Your song will hold the key...
Aahhhhh...
Believe, believe, when you believe

Ooohhh"

There was silence for a minute before Usagi clapped and declared. "We're so singing those next month!"
