Hello my lovely readers! I'd like to dedicate this chapter to the amazing Taylor Swift; I was listening to some of her songs when I got this idea. Yes, I know it's unlikely to have her know it's for her, but oh well, I don't care. If you don't like Taylor and want me to listen to your opinions, please do so by review, it gains me popularity with more reviews, so we both get something, sort of.
Amu's POVI look out to the crowd as I sing one of our remixed songs I see a little blond boy running through the crowd as if he were looking for someone. I send Hinata and Sue to check out what he's doing. By the end of the next song, she is back with the news that the boy had lost his big sister and walked off to find her when his parents weren't looking.
"Everyone, I have a small request for you all," I say into the microphone just as Yaya starts the beat for the next song, "let the little boy in what seems the twentieth row up on to the stage. He's the one with the blond hair, blue eyes, stands about three feet tall and looks about five or six years old."
The crowd does as it's told and a man helps the little boy onto the tall stage. My band mates give me an odd look as I pick up the little boy and ask him to hold the microphone for me.
"What's your name?" I ask him.
"M-my name is H-Hikaru, H-Hinamori-Sama." The little boy stutters.
"I saw you run around in the crowd, are you lost?" I ask gently.
"Y-yes," He says with a hiccup as tears begin forming in his eyes. "I can't find my big sister and I ran away from my parents to go find her and now I'm lost."
"Can his parents come over to the stage?" I ask
Within the next two minutes, a man and a woman come up to the stage with tears in their eyes. Hikaru immediately cries to them 'Mamma' and 'Papa'. Along with the two parents is a girl that looks a year older than Hikaru. The girl cries that the boy is an idiot for coming to look for and embarrassing her in front of her favorite band.
"Would you two like to be with me on stage? That is if your parents allow you to." I ask with a smile out of pure compulsion.
Their parents agree to let them come on stage and begin snapping pictures of me holding Hikaru. Ikuto gives me a cute smile and hops off stage. He picks up the little girl bridal style (with her permission of course) and jumps onto the high stage with a flip which gets the girl giggling.
"What's your name?" Ikuto asks the little giggling girl.
"Haruhi," The girl says with a little giggle that makes her light brown pigtails bounce.
"What's your favorite song?" I ask Haruhi. "Sorry for not having writing any songs ourselves yet, we're still looking for inspiration."
"It's ok; you guys are perfect enough as it is!" The little girl chirps. "My favorite song is by Love Story by Taylor Swift. Do you like Taylor Swift, Amu-Sama?"
"Just call me Amu," I insist. "I like a lot of her songs, they're really touching."
"So you like Taylor, Ikuto-Sama?" The girl asks.
"I guess." Ikuto replies with a slight shrug, as not to drop the girl.
"Do you like her more than Amu?" She asks innocently. "My friends at school say you two are lovey-dovey. They call you two Amuto as a couple name. Are you a couple?"
Before he can respond, Kairi and Yaya start the music for 'Love Story'. Note to self, give Yaya and Kairi a hug for being the best people ever.
I put Hikaru on the ground so he can stand just as Ikuto does the same to Haruhi so he can play the guitar. I look at the other band members to see Rima in a dress, Nagi in a suit, and Utau out of breath in a poofy dress. I see little Sue and IL cheering about being the fastest dress makers in the world. How they did that, I'll never know. Utau mouths to me that she's sitting this one out as she catches her breath.
I take a deep breath and begin singing.
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
My mind flashes back to the balcony kiss Ikuto and I shared. It was the absolute cheesiest thing I've ever done in my whole life, also the sweetest.
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
The debut dinner comes to my mind when Ikuto defended me against my mother. I felt a pang of pain at the thought of my mother not liking me sometimes. Am I that bad? I flash up a cover up smile to the crowd and the kids on the stage.
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
In the background, Rima and Nagi waltz while Utau pretends to be Rima's maid and tried to drag her away.
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
I bring the microphone to Haruhi's lips and she shyly sings some of it until her brother helps her sing the rest of the song, bringing up her confidence. As they sing, my eyes meet with Ikuto's for a split second and then my attention goes back to the performance.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
I think of all the mishaps Ikuto has helped me with. Walking me to and from school every day, being so protective of me, being so scared if I was hurt when Saaya tried to choke me out are just some of the he's done for me Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone Romeo save me, they're tryin to tell me how to feel
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
He's been so caring to me, but is there another reason that he's so nice to me?
Oh oh I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone Marry me Juliet Oh, oh,
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
Do I want there to be another reason for his behavior besides being my perverted, funny cat-like friend?
"Amu, that was amazing! Thanks for having us onstage!" Hikaru and Haruhi chorus happily.
"You're welcome." I say with a slight softening of my honey eyes. "Sorry, kids, but this is the end of the concert, we need to get started on our weekend homework. I hope you enjoyed this."
"I had fun! Bye Amu!" Hikaru chirps before he is lowered off stage by Kairi to his mother.
"I had a really great time, good bye Shugo Chara!" Haruhi chirps. "Bye Amuto, I hope everything works out. Then, you can write a song about your wedding!"
"B-B-bye, Haru-Chan," I stutter with a sweat drop, "I don't have a wedding planned, but if I do I'll give you a call."
With that, Haruhi jumps off of the stage into her father's awaiting arms.
I hope you liked this short drabble. Hopefully, it wasn't too bad.
Till the next chapter
-K-Chan!
