In the new chapter of Niagara14301's story Dorrie Book 2, it was revealed that James had won a music competition at Royal Prep. I thought that since he's getting back to his musical roots, it would be fun if he sang one of his birth mother's favorite songs. And of course, Amber's there to help add some special touches, but everyone will still enjoy James' performance no matter what! Elton John's music is not mine, nor is the movie Sing, which also featured this song.

"What a lovely performance, Princess Vivian!" Miss Flora smiled as Vivian took a bow following her mandolin solo. "Now, for the next participant in our Spring Fling Musical Competition, please give a warm welcome to Prince James!"

Everyone applauded as James came out and sat down at the piano. Suddenly, they were surprised to see Amber come out behind him, and she was holding something in her arms.

"Wait! Don't start yet!" Amber called. When James looked up in confusion at her, she put a pair of large sunglasses on him, and top hat with a feather on his head. As James adjusted the impromptu costume she put on him, she called, "Okay! He's ready!"

As she rejoined the family, Amber grinned as she listened to her brother play the piano. She remembered doing this when she, James, and Roland sang Elton John songs with their birth mother. She and Roland would also put costumes on James as he played the piano as they all sang.

As he thought about the costume Amber just put on him, James also grinned as he accompanied himself and remembered singing this with Queen Melinda. You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
I'm picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

"Amber and I used to do that when James played songs by Elton John," Roland murmured to Miranda, "Amber had so many dress-up clothes she used to love putting on him."

"Do you think she'll do that again now?" Miranda asked.

"Have you met Amber?" Roland chuckled.

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

James grinned up at the family, knowing that Roland and Amber were already singing along with him.

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, I'm feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

James' grin widened as everyone joined in on the chorus.

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

"All together now!" James shouted, and everyone finished the song with him.

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

As James took a bow, everyone was on their feet giving him a standing ovation, and Miss Flora came up onstage and presented him with a trophy. "I think we found our winner! Congratulations, dear!"

Tipping his hat to her, James grinned as he accepted it. "Thank you, Miss Flora!" He turned to Amber, who was coming up to meet him with Roland, Miranda, and Sofia. "That was a brilliant idea for the costume, Amber…and you're going to start doing this when I play Elton John songs again, aren't you?"

Amber grinned. "Have you met me?"
