Chapter 12: Queens of Karaoke
It's only 3 days until the halloween dance and Battle of the Bands and what they find out it's also the same day as Sunset's birthday. Alice and her friends has practice their performances for a while and can't wait for the competition to start. Of course, they want to play good to win, but not so good that they transform.
Right now, the gang decides to take a break by going out to have dinner, play video games, and to go karaoke at Round 1. A place that is a bowling alley, karaoke, arcade, and place to get food and other games to do there. Right now, Jerry is just finishing a song called 'House of Wolves' by My chemical Romance. They are kind of confused of why Jerry choose this song to sing. Then again, they know that Jerry likes listening to wild and crazy songs.
After he finishes singing, the friends clap for them and are impressed that Jerry is able to sing fast.
"That's good Jerry," Joseph says.
Jerry happily says while getting off the stage , "Thanks guys. So who is next?"
He then turns to Sunset and asks, "How about you Sunset?"
Sunset hears Jerry calling her name and see that her friends wanting her to sing.
Sunset nervously says, "I don't know,"
Jerry holds out the microphone and says, "Come on Sunset, you'll do great."
"Yeah. Try it," Alice replies.
Sunset can see that her friends want her to sing. She doesn't want to sing, but she doesn't know many songs. She decides to give the karaoke thing a try, but it will take some time for her to find a song.
Sunset nods her head and says, "Okay, but I'm not sure what song to do."
"Don't worry, I'll go next and it will give you some time to think of a song to play," Alice says as she make her way to the stage.
"Sure," Sunset replies.
Amy gives Sunset the song book and says, "Here's the book,"
"Thank you," Sunset says as she takes the book.
Sunset looks at the book to see the book has a lot of songs. She is starting to have trouble choosing the song.
Sunset replies, "There are a lot of song. I don't know if I can use choose one."
"And so you know, Alice love karaoke so she can be so lively." Joseph says.
Alice gets on the stage and puts in the number the song is on. As she sets herself up to sing a man comes in and puts their drinks on the table and then leaves to bring their order.
The screen in the room shows that Alice is going to sing 'Let it Go' by Demi Lovato. The thing is that since the move she watches that has the song last year, it becomes popular for a lot of people including for Alice.
The song starts to play and Alice starts to sing.
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, Let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in
Heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe
I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve
Let it go, Let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, Let it go,
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway
Standing - frozen in the life I've chosen
You won't find me, the past is so behind me
Buried in the snow
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
As Alice sings her heart out she starts to glow a purple color and starts to float up in the air. They know this can only mean one thing, Alice is going to starts transforming. As she sings this upcoming part, Her skin turns purple and gains pony ears, ponytail, wings, and a horn.
Alice sings:
Let it go, let it go,
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway…
let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
After Alice stop singing and the song stops. She slowly levitates herself to the ground on stage. Her friends are so impressed that they clap really hear and whistle with excitement.
Max says with excitement, "Great as usual, Alice,"
"And the transformation made it even better," Clarissa says amazed by Alice's performances.
Jerry laughs and says, "Now that wasn't put on the my little pony shorts."
Alice looks at herself in the mirror after getting off stage to see her transformation.
Alice is amazed that she transform and says, "Wow! This is getting interesting by the minute."
She then turns to Sunset and says, "I'll tell you one something, magic is not only amazing, it's also mysterious."
"I have to agree and I used to live in a world with magic twenty four, seven," Sunset replies with a smile.
Then Max asks, "So Sunset, have you decided what song you want to sing,"
"I do," Sunset answers while nodding her head.
She then decides to show the friends the song she wants to do. She find the page and section where her song is and thinks it will be the perfect on. The gang are kind of surprised Sunset wants to do that song, but thinks it will give her a chance to practice it.
She says, "I want to try this one."
"Sounds good to me," Clarissa replies.
Alice smiles and says "Sure, go for it girl."
"You can do it Sunset," Jerry cheers.
Sunset gets on the stage and says, "Okay guys I'm ready."
At that moment, Max helps Sunset set up the song she wants to sing and make sure it does the five second count down so he has time to sit down and watch. The screen shows that it's playing 'Anywhere But Here' by Hilary Duff. After the five second is up, the song starts to play.
Sunset begins to sing the song
When I'm in a crowd
Or on an island by myself
Silent or too loud
Wishing I was somewhere else
And I can't believe
You hit me fast and hard
When you turn to me and say
Never change the way you are
Trying to catch your eye
Things will never look the same
Now I can't deny
You're the moth and I'm the flame
There I go again
I should walk before I run
How can I explain
I can't stop what you've begun
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't want to be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
As Sunset is singing, she feels so happy that she feels like everything that has happened in her past is behind her. Just then Sunset starts to glow and she doesn't notice it. She is busy singing her heart out. The others are starting to see Sunset glowing a bright yellow color and wonder what is happening.
Sunset continues to sing:
What goes on inside
Is a mystery no doubt
A roller coaster ride
I may never work it out
Here's the brand new me
Skates around and floats on air
I'm a sight to see
Rainbow colors in my hair
You have set me free
The one who gets me there
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't want to be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but...
Here is the place where
My head is spinning
Time is beginning
To race away
You come to throw me
Knock me off my feet
You give me wings to fly
The world goes crashing by again
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't want to be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't want to be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
As Sunset sings the last verse the glow disappears arounds her body starts to disappear. Her friends are so shocked that Sunset almost transform that they are not sure if they should say anything at first. They think ti will be good to tell her tomorrow while they are at school so they have time to explain to her.
After Sunset finishes singing and the music has stop, her friends cheer and cloap for her for doing a great performance on stage.
Sunset gets off the stage so she can sit with her friends.
She smile feeling embarrassed and asks, "What do you guys think?"
"You did wonderful, darling," Clarissa says with a smile.
"You were amazing," Joseph adds.
Max starts to blush and says, "You did great."
Sunset blushes at Max's complement and says, "Thanks guys."
After having fun with karaoke, a man comes into the room with an extra large pizza. The pizza has three topping on it, one third has pepperoni, one has ham and pineapple, and the last third has only cheese.
Jospeh says, "Thanks."
"No problem," The server says.
After putting the pizza down on the table, the man leaves so he can continue his work.
Max says, "I don't know about you, but I'm so hungry right now."
Sunset says, "Me too."
"Me three," Alice says, eager to get something to eat.
