Mikan's POV
Gosh. What should I do, continue to pace up and down like this? True. I was pacing up and down the corridor of the backstage, with Natsume Hyuuga raising his eyebrow at me.
"Oi, dun stare at me!" I stopped in my tracks for a while and continued pacing. Contestant 24 was up already and after Pauline it would be me! Ugh!
"I keep bleeding, I keep keep bleeding love…" The contestant sang her last sentence and walked off stage. "And that was Mary Polsen with Bleeding Love! " the emcee announced. "Now, let's invite our favourite, the star with the MOST PROMISING FUTURE, Pauline Scotts on stage! Er… sorry I was a little early." The crows laughed, apparently, this guy was a huge fan of the bitch.
I ran to the audience seats immediately. "Now, let's invite Pauline Scotts! With Hikari!" After the title of the song was announced, mumurs could be heard from the crowd. She's singing a jap song? I'm surprised too! But… hikari… *sigh* reminds me of my previous song… but I made sure this was better than that! And that was what I thought, until Pauline opened her mouth.
Hikari- Elisa :)
Ai wo sagashite tabi wo suru hikari wa
Mune ni egaku mirai e tsuzuiteku darou
Tamerau tobira wo aketa nara
Atarashii ashita e to arukidaseru
Kokoro no oku fukaku shizumu
Setsunai omoi wa
Dare mo shiranai
Hitori bocchi na itami
Doushite na no? daiji na mono
Nakushite bakari de
Furishikiru ame
Mata kanashimi wo utau
Aa~ itsushika
Ate no nai mama ni samayou kono machi
Nee shinjitsu sae
Mienakunatte shimau kedo
Shinjiru michi wa jibun no naka ni kitto aru
Ai wo sagashite tabi wo suru hikari wa
Mune ni egaku mirai e tsuzuiteku darou
Tamerau tobira wo aketa nara
Atarashii ashita e to habatakou
Namida no shizuku kaze ni tobashite
Nagareru kumo soshite hirogaru aozora
Miagete hitori sotto chikau
Owaranai yume wo daite ikiteyuku
Haruka na negai tsunaideku hikari wa
Kibou to yuuki wo hakonde kureru darou
Sugiyuku toki wo kazoeru yori
Ima to iu shunkan wo kakedasou
Moshi kanawazu ni kizutsuitatte
Nando demo soko kara hajimete yukeba ii
Kotae wa sou yo hitotsu janai
Itsu no hi ka yorokobi ni meguri aeru
(It's an extremely nice song. Trust me! Listen to it, fall in love with it, replay it!)
Translations:
The light that goes on a journey, searching for love
Continues to go towards the future drawn in my chest
If you open the hesitating door
You can walk towards a new tomorrow
Painful thoughts
Sink deep inside of my heart
No one else knows
The pain of being alone
Why do I always lose
My most important things?
The ongoing rain
Is singing of sorrow again
Ah, unaware
I wander like this through town
Hey, even though
The truth can't be seen
Believe in the road within yourself, it's surely there
The light that goes on a journey, searching for love
Continues to go towards the future drawn in my chest
If you open the hesitating door
You can fly into a new tomorrow
A teardrop floats through the wind
The flowing clouds and the blue skies beyond my reach
I look up, alone, and make a promise silently
That I will live embracing the never ending dream
The light that connects the faraway wish
It will surely bring hope and courage
Instead of counting the time that has passed
Let's make most of this moment right now
If you're hurt without being fulfilled
You just need to go on and begin from here again
That's right, there is not just one answer
One day you'll come across joy
And I froze. Why was she singing my lyrics?
"Thank you! Thank you! Right now, I would like to thank someone for this wonderful inspiration for this song. Mikan Sakura, thank you." She added a little sarcasm to it. my eyes widened. So, she was the one… who stole my lyrics? I stood up wobbily and went backstage. I passed Hyuuga, I think. She stole my THUMBDRIVE, HANDPHONE just to steal the lyrics I painstakingly came up with for more than a week! My heart cringed in pain as I saw her walking towards me with a smirk.
"Good Luck." She said in such a digusting voice that I was irked.
"You bitch." I hissed. She smirked and walked off with her bodyguards trailing after her.
"Sakura! What the **** are you standing down there for? It's your turn next!" that voice was familiar. I ran towards the source of voice and hugged him. (I know, it's weird but…) There was a look of shock in his eyes but he just stood still. I cried and cried, I just cried until they called my name. I took my guitar and went on stage, confident after letting all my feelings out. Just as I was about to sat thanks and sorry to the crimson eyed guy I had been hugging, he ruffled my hair and said, "Good Luck. You'll beat that bitch. Will ya."
"Hell yeah."
With that, I took the stage when they signalled for my name.
Take a deep breathe Mikan, it's gonna a-okay!
Grabbing onto the mike stand. The game begun.
"Minna! Konnichiwa!" The crowd replied with a cheer. "Now, I am gonna present a song to all of you. Enjoy!" I shouted into the mike. I waited for them to settle before I started my song.
Here We Go Again- Demi Lovato
I throw all of your stuff away
Then I clear you out of my head
I tear you out of my heart
And ignore all your messages
I tell everyone we are through
'Cause I'm so much better without you
But it's just another pretty lie
'Cause I break down
Every time you come around
Oh oh!
So how did you get here under my skin?
I swore that I'd never let you back in
Should've known better than trying to let you go
'Cause here we go go go again
Hard as I try I know I can't quit
Something about you is so addictive
We're falling together, you'd think that by now I'd know
'Cause here we go go go again
You never know what you want
And you never say what you mean
But I start to go insane
Every time that you look at me
You only hear half of what I say
And you're always showing up too late
And I know that I should say goodbye
But it's no use
Can't be with or without you!
Oh oh
So how did you get here under my skin?
I swore that I'd never let you back in
Should've known better than trying to let you go
'Cause here we go go go again
[ Demi Lovato Lyrics are found on .com ]
Hard as I try I know I can't quit
Something about you is so addictive
We're falling together, you'd think that by now I'd know
'Cause here we go go go again, 'gain
And again
(And again)
And again
(And again)
And again!
I threw all of your stuff away
And I cleared you out of my head
And I tore you out of my heart
Oh oh, oh oh
So how did you get here under my skin?
I swore that I'd never let you back in
Should've known better than trying to let you go
'Cause here we go go go again
Hard as I try I know I can't quit
Something about you is so addictive
We're falling together, you'd think that by now I'd know
'Cause here we go go
Here we go again
Here we go again!
Should've known better than trying to let you go
'Cause here we go go go again
Again
And again
And again
And again

I panted from all the dancing and singing. This has to be the most rock song I have ever written. Seriously. Then suddenly, it dawned upon me I was still on stage. And the people… they were clapping, very loudly at that. Some were whooping, some were wolf-whistling. I skipped off stage.
Suddenly. "Encore! Encore! Encore!" the crowd chanted. I am S.H.O.C.K.E.D. Encore? I readily picked up my guitar and he stupid emcee had to interrupt. "Sorry to disappoint you people, but let's leave the Encore to the last shall we? Give her some time to decide on which song she'll sing!" The crowd booed in disappointment but Mr. Emcee was already pushing off the stage.
But Still, I enjoyed it out there.
And I realised, I should have brought ear plugs for the person who was walking towards me with the high five cue was a hearth throb and he was gonna cause a-a- bomb.
"Now, girls, don't scream, security, stand by. The next contestant is Natsume Hyuuga!"
I cheered for some reason. HA. He was my savior after all.
"Hey people, I would appreciate, if you put those burning banners, shut up and listen to me. " the audience immediately quitened down. "Thanks, now get high!" What?
Love Drunk- BLG (Boys Like Girls)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue
(Taste it on my tongue)
The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you, oh, so bad it hurt
But girl, in case you haven't heard
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)
There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We're spinning on a roller coaster ride
The world stuck in black and white
(Stuck in black and white)
You drove me crazy every time we touched
Now I'm so broken that I can't get up
Oh girl, you make me such a lush
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)
There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over
All the time I wasted on you
All the bullshit you put me through
I'm checking into rehab 'cause everything that we had
Didn't mean a thing to you
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now I'm sober
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight
So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye
(Oh yeah!)
There's just one thing would make me say
(Oh yeah!)
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hungover
I love you forever, but now it's over
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Now it's over, I still taste it on my tongue
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Now it's over
Aw man. With the guitar, the crowd went wild.
He had an encore request too. Of course, but was too… nah… he walked off the stage himself. I smiled at him upon his entrance to the backstage. "Good Job." I laughed inwardly at how we suddenly became so close.
"You too. Hey, about just now… care to explain?" he suddenly had a tinge of concern in his voice.
"Oh… that… I prefer if we went out to talk about it." I lowered my voice.
We walked to the nearby playground. I sat on the swing while he sat on the bench opposite me.
"So?" He urged me to go on from where we stopped.
"Oh! *sigh* you know that bitch?" There was only one bitch. I doubt that he did not know who I was talking about. "Yeah."
"She stole my handphone, my thumbdrive, which had my lyrics in it. And she used it."
"no wonder she thanked you."
"yeah. And I was really really shocked. So, I cried. I'm sorry bout your leather jacket though." I apologised.
"It's nothing. You know?"
"What?"
"You should ask Persona about this… tomorrow or something."
"Yeah."
Suddenly, shouts and screams were heard from the hall. It had ended, Final Jam. Time foe us again? SHIT. we have not planned anything.
"Hey. Wanna do a duet?" Natsume asked.
"Fine by me. Airplanes?" I asked.
"I don't know the rap." Natsume rejected the song.
"Don't stop beliving?" We asked at the same time, stared and burst into laughter. His laughter was so low, it sounded well… funny!
We rushed back to the stadium.
"Welcome back everyone! Now, while the judges decide on the top 3 singers, who will be signing contracts with STARGLAM… We'll have our two promised encores! And a special performance from the VIP: Kelly Clarkson!"
The crowd went wild.
"Now, let's invite Mikan Sakura up first shall w-"
I snatched the mike from him.
"Hey people of the U.S and Japan. You see, Natsume and i… had decided to do a duet. So you guys in or not?"
"Hell yeah!" This bunch of girls shouted. And the crowd went high and higher.
"So.. join us ne~~" I winked and the boys fainted. *giggle*
Don't Stop Beliving- Glee Cast
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people!
We ended off with a guitar strum. And I whooped! This feel… I'll never forget.
We went off backstage to take a rest. When I saw Kelly Clarkson, well, you heard my vow? I ran to her with an autograph book, abandoning Natsume.
"Erm… can I have your autograph?"
"Sure." She shot me a dazzling smile. Finally, her autograph. I held it like it was some trophy.
"You know, your performance out there?" she asked.
"Hm?"
"Keep it up, you'll be more popular than the next american idol. You ROCKED." OMG. Did KELLY CLARKSON JUST PRAISE ME?
"Now, let's invite Kelly Clarkson to perform Already Gone for us!"
She winked at me and went onto stage.
Already Gone- Kelly Clarkson
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hold you, now I can't stop
I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone
Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry
Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go
I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone
I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone
I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone
The crowd threw flowers on stage and even broke the barrier. That's the live of the superstar I guess.
Superstar huh? Sounds good to me…
"Thank you Kelly for that wonderful performance! And now… it's time for the JUDGES to take the stage!" the emcee screamed like shit.
"Thank you." Persona took over the mike.
"tonight, may I say, was the MOST FRIGGIN EFFIN AWEOMEST FINAL JAM WE'VE EVER HAD! DO YOU AGREE?"
The crowd replied with whoops and cheers.
"So… let's get started with the real party yeah~~"
The crowd went wild.
"Third- we've Pauline Scotts!" OMG. you should see the look of shock on her face. PRICELESS! She expected to go 1st with my lyrics? Sorry, I create better ones after the already good ones went missing.
"And now… it's a battle between two Gakuen Alice students…"
"Natsume Hyuuga." Natsume went on stage
"Mikan Sakura." I took a small step forward.
"OK. Whoever's name is called is first okay?" Persona looked at me then Natsume.
"Hn." "Okay."
"First place goes to… THE ENCORE PERFORMANCE OF NATSUME HYUUGA AND MIKAN SAKURA!" I could see Natsume's face contort in shock. Didn't Persona say battle between us? That was pretty lame.
"Second- we have Nonoko and Anna from Gakuen Alice!" He announced even happier.
But, you could not imagine what I felt like that time… I practically flew
Sakura: Hey people! How's this chapter? REVIEW!
