Kwest's Thought's: Gee they look alike. In fact they could be related. Oh no Georgia wouldn't do that would she? Nah I mean that's just wrong, but then again given what Jude has told me I wouldn't put it past her. Man is this going to be interesting I wouldn't want to be Georgia when the truth comes out.
Show time
D: "I'd like to thank everyone for turning up to help celebrate Tommy's 27th birthday and we have some surprises in store. But let's kick this party of with some SME."
Speid: "What's up? Well as you know where here to celebrate Lord S….."
D: "Speid"
Speid: "Like I was saying where here to celebrate Tom Quincy's birthday and what better way to do that then a walk down memory lane. Well anyway I need to bring out the extremely talented and extremely sexy I might add Jude Harrison."
Jude: "Wow I didn't expect to see so many people. I guess it goes to show just how many people Quincy has worked with. Anyway I say it's time to get this party started so here one I don't think many people know that Quincy wrote.
Harder To Breathe (By Maroon 5) (I don't own the song)
How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable
So condescending, unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
The double-vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I am walking on
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Does it kill?
Does it burn?
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control?
Does it thrill?
Does it sting?
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold?
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breath
Tommy's Thought's: Man I can't believe this. No way was this D idea it's more like Liz. Nah I haven't spoken to her since the tour ended why would she do this?
Sara: "Uncle Tom Tom?"
No answer
Sara: "Uncle Tom Tom?"
Portia who was sitting next to Tommy gave him a clip over the head.
Tommy: "Ouch what was that for?"
Portia: "Well you're niece has being trying to get you're attention."
Tommy: "Oh. Sara you wanted me?"
Sara: "Yes."
Tommy: "What is it Sara?"
Sara: "Ah well it's I don't know where mummy is?"
Tommy looks around only to discover that Nicole is nowhere to be seen.
Tommy: "Its ok Sara mummy will be here soon. Now just enjoy the show"
After Jude and SME performed it was time for the pain to begin. In other words time for Sadie to perform, and she had to pick her all time favourite song Pick Up The Pieces complete with dance moves.
Sadie was having so much fun she didn't want to leave the stage and the standing ovation wasn't exactly helping. Sadie thought the crowd loved it, it wasn't til D appeared on stage that Sadie realised it was time to leave.
Next to perform was Mason with Guilty a beautiful ballad which really surprised everyone for the fact that
Quincy wrote a ballad
That it was Mason performing.
Everyone kinda put him into one box that being country they didn't even think he was able to perform pop.
Just after Mason performed Tommy's parent's showed up and of course they had to make a scene which of course made the show come to a stop while they were seated.
Mrs. Douglas: "Where's my baby boy?"
Mr. Douglas: "Shh. Everyone's looking at us."
Mrs. Douglas: "You will not shh me I want to see my baby boy."
Tommy had enough and decided it was best if he showed himself to his parents.
Tommy: "Mum Dad I'm over here"
Mrs. Douglas: "There's my baby boy. How are you?"
Tommy: "I'm fine mum why don't you and dad take a seat with us and enjoy the show?"
Mr. Douglas: "That sounds great now come on lets get seated before this crowd turns ugly."
While this was happening Jude was pacing backstage wondering what she was going to say. Then it hit her she needed not only to tell Tommy but D as well. It appeared to be a night for the truth and she figured if she did it with a room full of people they couldn't kill her could they?
The rest of the night proceeded without anything going wrong. It was time for Jude to close the show for the media at least.
Jude took to the stage and informed everyone that this was the last song for tonight and she hoped that everyone had enjoyed the show.
Since the song was a ballad Jude decided to perform sitting down but she wasn't going to be on stage she was going to sit next to Tommy. Once the song was over everyone started to leave well that's what it looked like but everyone besides the media and Tommy knew better.
Once the media had left D ushered everyone back to where the party was.
Tommy: "What's going on?"
Chaz: "What does it look like. The party's not over yet."
Tommy: "But everyone was leaving?"
Chaz: "Man that was just so we could get rid of the media now the real party starts."
Tommy: "Oh."
D: "Ok now it's time for the real fun to begin and too kick it off we have Boyzattack with the original line up."
When D said this it caught Tommy's attention.
Tommy's Thought's: The original line up that means that Liz is here. I wonder where she is, will she talk to me. Heck would she even want to see me.
D: "Now as I said it was the original line up so that means we need the birthday boy up here as well."
Tommy: "No D come on it's my birthday and besides I don't remember the moves.
Kwest: "Come on T you know you want to and besides you will be dancing with Liz."
Tommy: "Ok let's get this over and done with."
While this was going on Jude was backstage getting ready.
Chaz:"Jude you ready?"
Jude: "No."
Chaz: "Come on it's not going to be that bad."
Jude: "You really don't know Quincy that well then."
Chaz: "Come on let's do this."
Jude: "You go ahead I'll be there in a minute."
Jude's Thought's: I guess there's no turning back now. I hope it doesn't blow up in my face, but knowing my luck it will just look at my track record.
Kwest: "Jude"
Jude: "Huh"
Kwest: "I said are you ready to do this?"
Jude: "I guess so just make sure that all the exits are locked"
Kwest: "Ok."
D: "Ok while the boyz are getting ready I should inform you that this is the first time they have performed together since they split so please forgive them if they aren't up to par."
The boyz performed Taste It and Tommy had no idea what he was doing but he was happy to be close to Liz.
Tommy's Thought's: Man I can't believe I'm performing with Liz again. She's just like I remember. Although she does remind me of Jude. If I didn't know better I'd swear they where the same person, nah that's just crazy.
T was pulled from his thoughts by Chaz.
Chaz: "T man cos it's you're birthday you can go relax now."
Tommy: "What?"
Chaz: "Go sit relax, it's time for the fun to begin."
Tommy: "Uh ok."
Chaz: "Now it's time to introduce the dancers who make us look good."
D: "Hold up"
Chaz: "What"
D: "There's another performance."
Chaz: "Who"
Jude: "That would be me."
Chaz: "Jude?"
Jude: "Yep that's me. Now go sit Chaz."
D: "Ok Jude the stage is all yours."
Jude: "Thanks. Sorry to interrupt but I've got one last song to perform. This song was written by Quincy but he has never shown it to anyone. I thought I would share this song with you. So here goes nothing
Truly Madly Deeply (By Savage Garden) (I don't own the song)
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah
[chorus:
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the
comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
[chorus
Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right
before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
[chorus
I want to stand with you on a
mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Once Jude had finished the song she was close to tears. Tommy had stormed out and everyone was left wondering what the hell happened.
Jude's Thought's: I can't believe he stormed out I thought he would have had a screaming match with me. I guess I should find him and explain.
