Hi new chapter, the chapter you have all been waiting for, the chapter we do the performance! Wahoo! Not, I have not idea how I'm going to do this ^_^' I don't own Zelda or any of the songs in this fic.
"Excuse me" I called out the door to a soldier walking past
"Yes?" she replied politely
"Can I see Kid and Tiger Lilly in here please? I don't know where their rooms are," I asked as nicely as I could
"Sure" she smiled, "I can't wait for your performance tonight"
"Me neither"
Link and Lucy turned up a couple of minutes later. Link looked even more like a girl than I remembered. I laughed openly when I opened the door.
"Shut up" he marched past me
"Hi there" Lucy followed him, "Ready to practice our dance?"
"As ready as I'll ever be" I replied grinning
I put the stereo system on as loud as it could get and pulled out a pair of portable speakers I just 'happened' to have ^_^'
"Ok then" I lined us up as the song started "Um...try to be sexy"
"We're a little young to be sexy," Lucy complained as we walked forward for the first line
"Step, one, two, twirl and down two, three" I called moves as we went on "Arm out, wiggle bum. And down two, three open and up to three"
We managed to make up a decent dance and went through it many times so we'd remember it.
"We really need another person" I said sighing, "But we're the only ones and that's that"
"Hey!" Lucy said, "Why don't we all do a solo?"
"Good idea" I said thoughtfully, "It'll make the performance longer"
"Solos?" Link said doubtfully, "I don't think I can do that"
"Course you can"
We all chose a song to sing from memory. I chose another song from the Moulin Rouge OST called 'One Day I'll Fly Away'. Lucy told me she'd think of one later when she was on her own.
But Link was awkward; he didn't know what he could sing apart from Hylian songs, which the Gerudos would know. So he went off to think too.
I decided to have a little practice, I decided to sing a song, but I had to remember the words first:
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend,
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them.
And you know it makes me sick to be on that list,
But I should've thought of that before we kissed
I sounded pretty good to me. I hummed a couple of stanzas and carried on the best I could for the next part.
You say you're gonna burn before you mellow,
I will be the one to burn you,
Why'd you have to go and pick me?
When you knew that we were different, completely
I sang through the rest of the song and felt very please with myself for remembering it all. I had the album of the band on CD at home so I knew the words now.
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend,
I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them,
I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend.
Well I'm another ex-girlfriend on your list,
But I should have thought of that before we kissed.
Lucy walked in as I finished the song.
"Sounds good," she said grinning, "You going to sing that? It's a feminist song I guess"
"I guess" I frowned "I have a back up anyway"
"What?"
"Not telling"
Lucy sat down "I taught Link a song"
"Oh yeah? What was it? 'We are the champions?' Areosmith?" I teased and tossed her an apple from the bowl of fruit on a table
"Nothing like that" Lucy answered "Think The Fugees"
"He's singing that?"
"Why not?"
"Well, I suppose it's alright" I sat down and bit into the fruit
"I'm singing a dance song," Lucy announced. Lucy is a fan of trance music, you know, like Ibiza stuff.
"Which one?" I asked
"Secret"
"I haven't heard that one" I replied
"No stupid, I mean it is a secret, you will have to wait for tonight" Lucy grinned, "We're meeting backstage at seven, don't be late"
Lucy got up and left humming in an amused tone.
"I hope Link isn't a tenor" I mumbled heading for the bathroom, I barely turned as a group of slaves herded through the doors to follow me but I did mumble something very rude back to them
I ran, late for the performance. Damn it all to hell. I ran as fast as I could though I was totally lost.
"Late?" a voice asked from a doorway
"Yeah" I turned to see who had spoken, a woman with long red hair and deep brown skin smiled at me "Don't suppose you could direct me to the fest could you?" I asked politely
"Down the hall and left" she replied and shut the door
"Um...thanks" I replied and ran on
I entered a hall of full of tables, chairs and Gerudos. I slipped backstage and sighed as I saw the other two.
"We thought you weren't going to make it" Link said casually
I stared at him. He was a girl, or was he, but he certainly looked like a girl. Well, a bulky one, and a little stubbly on his chin, but more or less a girl.
"You ready?" Lucy gave me a big grin and twirled, her outfit was really pretty "What do you think?" she asked
"Great" I had on the same kind of thing, but blue and not red
"You both look fine" Link put in, "But" he whispered, "The plan still has to go on you know"
"What have you done so far?" I asked
"Drugged the alcohol" he frowned "We have to hope the guerudos drink at a young age"
"I'm thinking...no" Lucy snapped, "Nobody drinks under ten, and we have little kids out there, drug every single frigging drink they have!"
"I'm with crazy girl on this one" I looked at Link, "Go back and do all of them"
"Fine, fine, fine" he ran off muttering something about lazy bitches to good to do anything themselves
"Lucy, I am very nervous" I linked her arm
"The name is Kid, Belldandy" Lucy smiled "I'm singing Silence" she muttered
"What?" I asked
"Nothing" she said "We're going on"
Link rushed back and smiled "Here goes" he walked out first, a round of applause went off
"Ok" we followed slowly into the bright light
Honestly it was like dying. You walked into the bright light and literally fell over at the sight of the crowd. The music of Lady Marmalade started (we'd played the guerudo's band our CD's and they'd done a pretty good copy.
"Let's do this" Lucy muttered and we started to do our performance
A burst of cheers went off as we did Lady Marmalade and as we danced and sang our hearts out. They must have thought we were unbelievably bad but they were too rowdy and excited to listen properly.
As that finished the music turned into my song and I sang a rendition of No Doubt heartily and handed over to Lucy.
She took centre stage. And a tribal like yell escaped her lips. Then the band started to play, I couldn't believe it, and the band had actually started a pretty good dance beat and music.
Then Lucy sang, she did an amazing version of Sarah Mclachlon's and Delirium's version of the dance song Silence. She never ceased to surprise me; I knew she could sing but heck, this was singing times ten.
The music stopped and Lucy took a bow. She winked at me, the crowd was drunk. One more song should do it. Links.
He stepped forward rather nervously and started the familiar lyrics:
"Strumming my pain with his fingers" the crowd silenced in anticipation, "Singing my life with his words. Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly, with his song"
Wow, Link had a pretty good voice. Not deep thank god, or he would've given us away.
"I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style. And so I came to see him and listen for a while. And there he was this young one, stranger to my eyes. Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words. Killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song telling my whole life, with his words, killing me softly. With his song"
He had the audience's attention and by the end they were singing along with him heartily and being very rowdy. I was a bit worried but then the whole crowd kind of fell.
Fell hard.
Fell very hard.
Fell very, very, very hard.
They were very, very, very, very drunk.
I think they'd had enough; we all looked at each other and ran. We picked our stuff from our rooms and dashed out into the cold night air. Finally, not a maze of tunnels but real night air. We headed for the gates.
"Excuse me" I called out the door to a soldier walking past
"Yes?" she replied politely
"Can I see Kid and Tiger Lilly in here please? I don't know where their rooms are," I asked as nicely as I could
