Alex's POV
I ran down to the Courtyard, the rest of them not far behind, and Ember was sulking a little as we got there. Me and Preven ran up to Xavier, the main guy for all of this, since he choose alot of the songs and he does most of the solo singing in it when all the other guys decide to wimp out. He kept his hair a bright purple color and spiked it up like adrian with his natural bright green eyes showing.
"We have a little bit of a request if you know what I mean," Adrian said, leaving me to tell the rest of the story, since Xavier got along better with me since I did more of the singing at these type of things.
"Ember has willing put herself on the spot for singing tonight. It was an agreement type of thing if you know what I mean."
He nodded, his face lighting up as he found the perfect song for her public humilation, and than leaned into my ear to whisper the name of the perfect song, causing me to smile and bounce up and down in excitment.
"Well it sounds... well looks like you found the best song for her. I have a feeling that Preven is gonna be put in the spotlight as well?" Adrian said, staring between my face of excitment and Xaviers face of happiness.
"Very!" I said, pulling him back towards our little group of people, now including the Red Fountain boys. I guess they had arrived while we were setting up Embers Humilation song.
"How bad is it?" Ember asked, standing next to her brother as she did.
I put my hand in hers and let her see for herself by showing her what I had heard from Xavier, which she followed with a frown and a small snort of anger. Musa gave me a hive five while I heard Bloom say, "Can't wait to see this ... adventure."
I heard Xavier start with one of the very popular MCR songs that we all seemed to like, and glanced at the clock on Ember's wrist and saw that it was 6:00. Time for this train wreak to start!
Xavier earned himself the gazes of all the winx and the boys as he sung the opening lines of Famous Last words by: MCR. He was easily the best guy singer here, which was why he was the main guy for all of this. Let's just hope that he didn't drag me into this.
He finshed with the first verse of it, and than the chorus was passed around between different groups of people, or just single people. That's how it normally worked, unless there was a special request for people like Ember, who was never asked to sing, or people who were forced to sing by themself because the general public wanted them to, which is where I normally ended up along with a group of people around me as I used them to hide my face.
The best thing about it was once the passing started it couldn't really stop until almost everyone wanted it to, and than one person kinda took control of the verse or chorus (Only if we had ended up passing the verse instead). Even if we didn't know the song, which was rare, we sung the correct lyrics automaticly since Xavier hated to see people pop out because of they couldn't memorize something.
We went through at least 3 more songs until I saw Xavier give me the signal, a little head, and than proceeded to push Ember forward into the cluster of people in the middle of the courtyard, and than grabbed Preven and pushed him forward as well.
Oh, I couldn't wait for this to start!
Everyone stood in a big group around the center of the courtyard, where the main singers stood in a little cluster. The people in the middle doing the major singing parts while the group of surrounding people just tended to hop in the singing everyone and than, mainly just during the little pass along periods.
Ember was in the middle, face hidden from the crowd as we all geared up for the dare of a lifetime. Now she knows why I hid when they forced me in the middle.
They finished their current song, and I cupped my hands around my mouth, magnifying my already screamed, "Ember's going to Sing Both of Us-Taylor Swift featuring B.O.B! And Preven's going to rap!" Me and Adrian both started to laugh as we saw Preven's face, which was one of horror.
Me, Adrian and Musa stood near each other and waited for Ember to start her grueling public humilation as Riven stood next to us and muttered, "I cant believe your even letting her sing..." The others stood around us, waiting for the train-wreak to begin. Me and Adrian put up a shield around us and Musa, since i was pretty sure that everyone else would like to listen to the disgrace that we call Ember's sing voice instead of hear us scream and laugh like banshees.
When she started... OMGD... It sounded like a dieing squirriel that had finally realized that he was going to die, so they stopped screaming so hard, and was then farted on by a Skunk who had a bean-eating problem so he started screaming even harder and had the back up vocals done by and a choir of screaming coyotes who had been following the Skunk and they wouldn't shut up! And that was only because she was trying.
Yes, I just confirmed your worst fear. I now looked like the biggest freak in front of my sister... And Ember could actually sound worse!... But i still looked like a freak!
Me started laughing my butt off as well as Musa while Adrian at least tried to not to laugh, but soon lost all control and broke down as well. The all looked at us, faces of amuzement on their faces as well, since they couldn't even hear us since we had the force field up. I buckled down to my knees as Musa used the force field to support us. Adrian was getting a kick by just watching us. I had gone past the point of regular laughter and I was now laughing without any type of sound, and that caused Musa to laugh the same way. Adrian had to leave the force field in order for him to stop laughing.
And then Preven started Rapping.
He wasn't bad, but he had to make a come back to Ember's bad vocals, which was almost impossible. The look on his face was one of pure torture and when he took a glance at us, his face took on one of hate and pissedoffness (I don't care if that's not a word.. I'm making it one!). That caused us to laugh even harder and Adrian had to come back into Shield in order to stop from bursting out in front of everyone else.
We went on like this for the entire song, and we earned about 13 different death Glares from Ember and Preven during the whole song. I was proud of this moment, and I could tell that Everyone else was as well.
When they finished, everyone did a bery obnxious clab and The two 'Stars' ran back towards us in a race to see who would be able to beat us over the head first. Me and Adrian stayed in the force field, but that work very well, since she was able to stick her hand through and grab me by the collar and start going all 'emotional teenage girl' on me and I had to pay for the best prank ever. But Happiness has to come with a price sometimes right?
I felt Xavier look over at me, and I shook me head in disagreement. Now wasn't a good time to tell you the truth, Ember attacking me, and My sister and all her and now my friends were here as well.
'I'll make you come here sooner or later. Don't worry. Just be ready when I do need you' He whispered into my thought, a smirk on his face as he said so. He stayed in the middle as they started singing the next song. I just laughed along with others as the others went into the middle and either sang or danced, even though Ember's was the one to make me laugh the most.
Soon enough though, he gave me a total warning that he was going to start a song that I couldn't resist. Into The Ocean- Blue October, was unresistible, and he would mentally drag me into the middle just so that I could sing it with him, since we had our own little dance for just this song.
I could tell that Ember could see the anxiety on my face as she nodded and she started to talk about how I need to go grab something from my room and than proceeded to push me towards the general direction of the dorms. I started going that way and than Teleported myself to the middle, but not before I could earn a wink from Adrian and a eyebrow raise from Preven.
Xavier turned to see me in the middle of a group of multiple Flyix students ranging from Pre-year students to Senoirs. (This was the only time we ever got along with each others, especially on Fridays, but that's a different story :). He started with it, the group turning inside to see that I saw there, and than they all smiled as they realized that I was going to join in on this. They all stayed where they were though, since they knew about my horrible stage.
We decided to make this fun and unknown by having all the boys around both of us (we were both in the middle) lip-sync along with Xavier and have all the girls in the middle lip-sync along with me whenever we were alone.
I took every other line of the verses while he took the first and every other one after that. Then everyone else took the chorus by passing it around like every other song and I could see Musa wonder who was singing my part, since she was a Music Fairy and could easily tell that I, a girl, was singing a boys part. She just didn't know that it was me. What I did notice was that people tended to sing along more often when I started, not like I minded.
I could tell that Xavier was going to make this interesting, so I made sure no one moved at all, and soon me and him were finishing the song with the quiet parts at the end, and than it was over. What I should mention is that everyone in the school was able to sing along because We all bounced the beat into each others head, so we all heard the beat and the lyrics when we sang, but if someone completely unknown was to start listening in they would just hear us singing. Pretty good logic if you thought about it.
I decided I wasn't going to do this alone anymore, andI wasn't going to pull Ember in, mainly because I knew everyone would by from overexposure to deadly squealing, so I teleported back behind the group and walked back up as if nothing happened. Ember looked at me with a sense of confusion on her face, but she quickly picked up on what I was doing and smiled in agreement as she looked between Musa, Adrian and Riven.
"So, your a pretty good singer right?" I asked Musa, trying to look casual.
"I've been told so. I mean, A couple of people said I do."
"That's a yes! She does! You should hear her when she's in the shower!" All the girls answered at once, a slur of words flying at me, but I heard the yes and took that as my que to pull her by the wrist towards the group in the middle, and I also grabbed Adrian by the collar of his shirt and pulled him forwards as well, adding to more people into the mix.
I let go of both of them as soon as we were all the way into the group of people, Adrian sighing as Musa started to ask a question that he quickly answered.
"She's going to make us sing along with everyone else. Why else would she be giving Xavier a thumbs up?"
"Heck yea!" I answered back, Xavier waving a hand towards me to tell me they were was ready to start the next song on Musa's signal. I looked at her one eyebrow lifted and she nodded in return. I waved back at Xavier as he started the tune in everyone's head.
Than... She started.
I found a way than
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart than
But the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now
The dark is to hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up
The strength I need to push me
She finished as she let everyone pick up the chorus, which meant she was getting pretty used to this already. She looked at us and I started to say a whole slew of words that I barely understood.
Both of us were at a loss of word from her performance. She was the exact OPPOSITE of Ember, which was amazing beyond comprehension.
"You didn't tell me you sounded that good! You could have given me a little bit of a warning before you did something like that! I mean at least you could have warned me how far my jaw was going to drop!"
She smiled as Adrian answered back at me instead with, "Well don't worry about that. You be able to compare soon enough." a suspicious smile crept back onto to his face as he said so and he could already tell what was going to happen.
"Why you little... Don't worry you'll get your chance soon enough as well,"
We got into a whole mini-fight as the surrounding groups of people decided to finish the chorus and move onto the verse, which caused me to stop what I was saying at the time and continue with,
Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope that it'll still be there
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place
The only time I feel safe
I gave Xavier the death stare for forcing me to sing the 2nd verse of the song, while I listened to what Musa had to say next to me as everyone started to jump the chorus around again, Adrian even taking a little bit of it himself, and considering that he was someone of the male gender, it was kinda funny to watch him sing like a girl.
"That was you earlier wasn't it! How did you do that, you sound almost exactly like a guy! And that was amazing! Let me guess you have stage fright?" As she finished, she placed a hand on her hip, remembering the last bit from earlier on.
She was right about the guy part... I was incredibly good at sounding almost exactly like a guy and people couldn't tell that it was me unless they specialized in music or looked at me while I sung.
I nodded, my eyes gazing at the ground as I did so. Adrian looked at her and nodded as well, very positive about it.
"We'll have to change that won't we, Alex? Don't worry. After living with me for a while, you won't have stage fright anymore." I could tell I was going to get a long with her very well.
We both noticed that everyone was getting quiet as the end of the chorus came and they were moving onto the bridge of the song, and listened as they forced Adrian and Xavier were forced to either sustain or repeat the word Lights 7 times and than trade parts.
The entire group stared at us as we quickly glanced between each other and agreed on singing the last Chorus together. We turned back to back as they finished the last of what seemed like a thousand timas and started our little duet.
The next thing is who I didn't expect, and I normally wouldn't mind on any other day, but my sister was watching this! They decided it would be amazing if they faded away and left me and Musa for the entire school to see, I saw Adrian smile again as Ember and Preven gave us obnoxious thumb-ups as we started singing. At least I wasn't doing this alone.
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I'll tell myself that I'll strong
And dreaming when I'm alone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me,turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
We finished the chorus and watched as the teenagers around me all started singing... (expect for Ember of course ;). We continued with the background vocals instead, so we sustained while they all repeated the same word over and over again.
(Home, Home)
Lights, lights, lights, lights
(Home, Home)
Light, lights, lights, lights
We finished our part as everyone else said the last two 'lights' and quickly walked back over their little pow-wow, where the girls were about to get al over us about our proformance, but I went straight to attack the kids that knew about the little stunt.
I tortured Adrian, Preven, and Ember by forcing Preven and Ember to kiss with Adrian in between them, all three of them being squished together with in front of Riven and the rest of the group, who all stared in curiosity, amazement, and humor. Well, all of them except for Riven. He went up and tried to break them apart, but I was able to use my magic to hold him back just long enough to make their torture painful.
They all let go and Adrian started gagging while Preven started gagging as well, his gagging from being near Riven during a romantic scene with Ember while Adrian's was from being in between both of them during a romantic episode and the close contact caused him to feel all of Preven's emotions during the time as well. All the love and thoughts of Ember and things that would traumatize him for a while.
Ember started giving her brother a puppy dog face as he gave her a death look. He should just be happy we don't share an Appartment with them anymore, but he didn't need to know about that and neither did Bloom or we were all dead.
We all decided to go back to Alfea, since that was the 2nd to last song they did, now leaving us with 1 less hour of our lives.
Me and Ember said by to the boys that we knew, Riven forcing Ember and Preven to stay at least 2 feet away from each other just using a death glare. They awkwardly shook hands as I was able to at least get a common secret handshake form both of them, trying to avoid all hugging since it would cause Stella to think something that was totally fake and unrealistic. I wasn't going to deal with a sqwealing Stella again, I had learned my lesson last night.
All the girls and the Specialists headed out, the boys following us to Alfea as Ember and Riven had a classic brother-sister fight about her dating and how that should matter if he's dating as well and what would have to happen if this and that happened and all that junk. Me and Bloom had another conversation about what we had in common and what we thought we had inherited from who.
We both liked Pizza, could agree on the same music more or less, Love bunnies (Kiko was so adorable!), more than likely wouldn't agree on what to do in our free time, wouldn't agree on movies unless they were just comedies... I'm not a romantic movies type of person, and that our favorite colors conflicted... Well both of our favorite colors made Christmas!
We reached Alfea and all the boys said goodbye to the girls, all of them focusing mainly on just there girlfriend. I looked over at Bloom and Sky and saw how happy they looked together.
At least my sister had a boyfriend and was happy, and at least I was here to kill him if he broke her heart... That what siblings are for right?
Me and Ember raced upstairs to see who would get our magicly-never-ending ice cream carton tonight. Since we both had it 3 times each so far, we needed a way to see who would get the stupid extra day of the week. That's how we came up with racing each other up the side of the school and through our balcony into the mini fridge in our room.
Wait! You thought that we used the stairs during a race? That would be to easy for never-ending Ice Cream!
The next thing my sister and the girls saw was that our room was a gooey mess, the walls covered in handfulls of Cheesecake Brownie flavored ice cream as Ember started to try to shove one of the brownie bits up my nose while pulling my head backwards by using my hair. My hand was covered in melted ice cream and slapped onto the front of her face as my leg wrapped around hers, trying to trip her into the little puddle in front of me or onto the bed so that I could shove my pieces of brownie into the front of her shirt and down her bra. In fact, I was trying to do it backwards in the position I was currently in, but it was harder than I thought.
We both froze as we heard the door opened to reveal Bloom and Layla followed by Flora, Tecna, Stella, and Musa behind, and they all ended up getting into the room in the end, staring as we gazed for a little longer and than continued on.
I flipped her onto the bed and rolled her onto the floor as she started screaming about how I reminded her about some kind of goat that was called a Flarsoche. (Don't ask me!) She pulled me down onto the floor as well and rolled on top of me, pressing my head toward the floor as she started to shove multiple brownie chunks up my nose and into my ears as I reached under her bed to see if I had a Hail Mary pass.
My hand rocketed towards her chest as I pulled out a really cold packet gummy worms (How she made it cold was beyond me) and pressed it against her, causing her to fall backwards out of shock and sensitivity. I ripped open the bag and which to gummy worms instead of Brownies and started to shove them down her shrit and bra, causing her to scream unendingly. It was just cuss words before than, but her scream caused the cussing to stop and for me to start laughing at her, but didn't last very long.
She took the bag it of my hand and grabbed a bigger hand full and started to shove it down my shirt as well, getting into the same places she had gummy worms in, but she was able to put more into my shirt some how. I started screaming even louder than she did, and she laughed like I did, ridiculously cold gummy worms slithering down my chest as she was kneeling over me and laughing.
I decided that if she was able to stoop down to the gummy worm level, I was just going to have to go lower. I tipped her back over and grabbed her by the wrist and linked our charms together to form one whole charm and started to remember the awkward moment with Riven and all the times she got caught with Preven in either the water cooler closet or behind the stage, than added a little thought of how me, Adrian and Musa reacted during her little... Adventure as my sister put it earlier.
"OMG! You little Punk Butt Nosy Perverted Female Dog!" She screamed, now knocking me on to my back for the third time.
"What's going on?" Layla screamed above our own voices, but we just ignored her as Ember latched the charm back onto mine, and she became the one dishing out the thoughts.
She started to think about how far her and Preven have actually gone (Which is pretty far!) and about what a Flarsoche looked like, followed by very horrible mind scaring image of my sister and Sky getting it on with each other. I was able to wiggle my way out of her grip and start gagging at the thought of Bloom and Sky getting it on with each other, and the gaggin became even worse when her and Preven came into my mind.
"Stop! Just stop for a second! What's going on here?" Bloom screamed over both of us, and we paused again, this time with me laying under her in an awkward sideways position as she held my wrists to the ground, her legs straddled around the bottom half of my body.
"Oh... We do this every Monday... That's our carton fighting day." I said, looking upside down at her face.
"Carton fighting? Really? What is that?" Tecna asked, as she stated at us in disbelief.
"We normally trade our Never-Ending Ice Cream Carton every other day, but for the one extra day of the week, we fight to see who gets it since there is an uneven number of days in a week," Ember said much to calmly for the situation we were in.
Stella started jabbering about how it better not happen near her closet or near her because her clothes are to good to get ice cream on... Yada Yada Yada.
"Why don't you just trade every other extra day? Why fight over it?" Flora asked, trying to find the true roots of our fights.
"That would be to easy. We fight because of 1. She's related to Riven 2. We bonded, we're not supposed to get along, 3. We're teenage girl and that's just what we do. You guys should understand that and 4... Because we feel like it." We both started laughing as I finished my plausible explanation and Bloom did a quick spell to clean our room and and faces. My chest was now free of frozen gummy worms, which felt much better than when they were on me.
We walked out to hang out with the girls, and Musa and Bloom asked us what we showed each other in our heads and we answered back as simple as we could.
"We both have very dirty minds, and no one likes to imagine there Siblings getting it on."
We both walked away laughing, knowing we would both lose sleep because of this but knowing that it was all worth it.
