Chapter Fourteen---The End (No, really the end!)

A.N: Its the final chapter you've all been waiting for!!! The conclusion in the epic battle of musical talent!!!!!!!! Ok now lets do this!

Vincent was looking over the final piece of music. It was a fast rock piece. One of his favorites and a classic in the world of music. Confusion was the multi-billion dollar single that went gold for two years in a row. The duet that had been performed by none other then Zack Valentine and Areith Gainsbourgh.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final piece is being handed out. The bands will receive five minutes to rehearse and ask questions. This is the fianl moment!" The crowd went absolutely wild. So did a not so unfamiliar red-head in the fron with a video camera.

"Forget the music right now guys..." Aiden told the group. They stopped at looked at her curiously.

"Music is our life, our passion...we all know that. This isn't a contest anymore...it's just a bunch of kids playing music. So let's give them something to listen to." The other members smiled at her.

"Yea! Forget this contest! Let's play!" Yuffie whooped! Axl gave Aiden a kiss on the forehead. Such a sweet little sister. Of course all thoughts of sweetness vanished when her boot met his shin. Violent sod.

"Bands, stand you ready?" Vincent called. One by one the band members joined hands and held them up, hollering for all their worth.

"Ok then. Ladies and gentlemen, the combined bands will now be performing Confusion." The lights dimmed and a loud searing note sound through out the room. The three electrics hit the beat dead on. Aiden looked to Axl and Riku with a smile and they began to sing.

I yelled and you screamed at me

You said it was my fault

I said it was yours

The truth is

We're both to blame

You say I push to hard

I say you push me over

Fighting over nothing

causing this confusion

Think about this now

We need something soon

To stop the yelling

cause we're starting to cry

So easy to leave

not look behind

(8)

- Guitar riff; Axl, Squall, Riku scream- ow ooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

(5)

Nothing makes me right

its all just a dream

I can't hear you

yelling at me

I don't see your fist

meet my face

Don't feel the pain

C:

Stop this madness now

stop this fight

no more agruing

who's right or wrong

All we're getting is

Chaos, hurt, regret

I don't want more confusion

Everything about you

makes me ill

smallset things start

the biggest flames

We're both to blame

why can't we go

back to the begining

everything was right

It all made sense and confusion

just thought

No games of push pull

no wounds to heal

words taken back

tears on your face

Its the same old thing

just on another night

C:

Stop this madness now

stop this fight

no more agruing

who's right or wrong

all were getting is

chaos, hurt, regret

I don't want more confusion

Scream at me

won't take this no longer

its gotta stop

no fighting

please wont you sto this?

Cx3

Stop this madness now

stop this fight

no more agruing

who's right or wrong

all were getting is

chaos, hurt, regret

I don't want more confusion

As the lights faded ocne more and the last echoes of the guitar died, the crowd sat in awed silence. The sudden sound of explosive applause was nearly defeaning. Vincent smiled at his brother and his wife. This was the moment everyone was waiting for. The winner of A.X.E's Play the Music Contest. First placed would be the biggest hit since Areith and Zack. As Vincent took the stage, the crowd returned to hushed silence. Noa was bitingher finger nails in anticipation. Axl had his arm around Squall and Aiden's hand in his. Which around now he couldn't feel his fingers anymore. Vincent simply stood on the stage a minute, a small smilie on his face just to prolong the suspense. Finally he spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen...the winner is..."
