The Reception Part Deux
Ashley's POV
Previously: "Anywho, Ashy, Ashy, Ashybear…What can I play for you…Hmm" She begins strumming.
This sounds familiar. She begins to sing with a goofy smile on her face.
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird…I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me.
She stops, "Oh wait, I didn't write that. Huh." The crowd chuckles at her. "That was Five for Fighting's 'Superman'….well, we all know that I'm a hero, buttt this is about Ashypoo." She gets a round of applause. I look at Arden and she rolls her eyes and shakes her head, grinning. "Thank you, thank you, but, seriously…Ash-tastic, nickname credited to my brotha over there, what could I possibly pull out of my ass for you…" She gets some snickers in the crowd and I roll my eyes, always the show stealer Cooper. "Ah, well, I think I'm gonna do two songs for you guys." I look at her surprised. "You see…There's the old Ash…and there's the new Ash. New Ash only came when I introduced those two lovebirds. So its only fair to sing about both of them, because they are what made her who she is." Aww, Coop. "Plusss I just wanna show off." Alright, Coop, you ruined the touching moment. "So here's the Old Ash for ya." She flashes me a grin and instead of Buffy, picks up Bison…her electric guitar. Oh great, old Ash is not going to be mellow. She tunes Bison and gets ready to play.
"Oh just play already you dramatic doofus!" Sam shouts and Coop laughs, beginning to play.
She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous
She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction
From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they
Call old whatsername
She's the symbol
of resistance
and she's holding on my
heart like a hand grenade
Coop grins and winks at me.
Is she dreaming
what I'm thinking
Is she the mother of all bombs
gonna detonate
Is she trouble
like I'm trouble
make it a double
twist of fate
or a melody that
She sings the revolution
the dawning of our lives
she brings this liberation
that I just can't define
nothing comes to mind
She goes into her little guitar solo and smirks. I'm laughing and the others are grinning, because they really didn't know me before Spence, only Coop did. They've heard stories so they can only imagine the handful that I was.
She sings the revolution

She's a rebel

Of destruction
She's a rebel

She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's dangerous
She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's dangerous
All the Coopers are laughing and Coop does her flourishy bow. "So yeah, what you got from that song was that Ashypoo over there was a complete little rebel in high school, but I "straightened" her out and then tossed in Spence to seal the deal." She blows a kiss to Spence who shakes her head and grins. "So, New Ash, is much more mellow and calm, and…not a bitch."
I gasp and shout, "Coop, play the damn song or I'm kicking your ass for that comment "best man"."
"Fine, fine…but its trueeeee." She sing-songs out and everyone laughs. I feel my face heat up and Spencer grins and kisses my blushing cheek. "So…with out further ado…here's the new…well I used to think she was friendly…Ash.." She's going to be dead later…if I can remember anything that happened before my honeymoon…it's the only thing keeping me calm and on my best behavior. Spencer…skantily clad Spencer….oh damnit…Coop was right. Those are my favorite things. "Well, I'm gonna take a page from the book of Paramore and steal a song, shhh its only a cover don't call the music rights police…." The crowd laughs and I automatically know what she's going to play. Coop grabs Buffy and begins to sing.
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
She points to the both of us and we smile, aw.
Maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I've sworn to myself
that I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning
when you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
There's thunderous applause and Coop takes her bow. "Thanks, thanks, I'll be here until Ash kills me for embarrassing her." She hops off the stage and walks over as the reception continues. Guess its time to meet Athena.
