A.N. I own nothing. I hope ya'll like this chapter. Please read on.
"There's a lot of Kelly Clarkson happing," pointed out KF as Miss M prepared to go up.
"Yeah. So?" demanded Artemis. He shrugged.
"I'm just saying." Miss M smiled and headed up. The way they acted sometimes remainderedher of herolder siblings. She swallowed back some of the grief that came with thinking of her family. She put another smile on her face when she got onto the stage. Everyone, still piped up about the last song, let out booming cheers for her. She blushed a little and picked up a microphone. The DJ got the music going and she waited for the appropriate time before starting to sing;
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
She swallowed again, a bit harder this time. Her thoughts were still on Mars and how she was there. Hoping beyond hope to come to earth.
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away
She smiled sadly as she continued to sing. She had always felt out of place on Mars for…certain reasons. And she never felt like she was quite the same as the others. She had only wanted to find a place she would feel in place in.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
She continued to sing as if there was no inner turmoil and no one seemed to notice. They were all cheering, but she felt home sickness come over her. She may not have felt in place there, but it had been home. The place where she didn't stick out like a sore thumb physically.
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
She swayed slightly to the music as she sang almost absent mindedly. She had been so thrilled when Uncle John had offered to take her to earth with him. She had never been as excited. Going to Earth was really the only thing she had ever wanted.
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
Earth had been so different then Mars, even more so then she had originally thought. The air was the first thing she noticed. It wasn't as clear as Mars, but it seemed to hold more excitement and thrills. There was more taste in it, and more freedom in breathing it in.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Her uncle showed her around different cities and she noticed the difference immediately. Again, it was more polluted, but she could see the difference between every city. Martian cities were different and all, but they all were overall very similar. But not these earthen cities. Gotham, for instance, was a darker place, but it had a lot of deep excitement that had her blood pumping. Central City was kinda the opposite. It was clean, bright and sunny, but it was mostly peaceful then exciting. Well, the aura was peaceful. The crime rate and bustling people said otherwise.
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
She saw most of the big cities in America and there were many things that separated them beside their auras. They all had different architect. Star City had awesome art that seemed to be mixed in with their buildings and Metropolis really was similar to the human's version of heaven.
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
She smiled a genuine smile as she continued to think of how much she learned about this new planet. She was still learning about it in her everyday activities. It made her so happy. She had met her new friends too. They had made her feel even more comfortable about this new planet.
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
She would always miss Mars, but this was her home now. This strange, crazy planet made her feel like she belonged here so much more than Mars had ever done. This is where she belonged; with her caring uncle, her sarcastic little brother, her calming older brother, secretly nice older brother, her funny brother, her dry humor sister, and her loving boyfriend. She smiled as she finished her song. She missed her old family, but she had a new one now.
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
The moment she finished, everyone gave her a good round of applause. She went backstage and everyone gave her the usual good jobs. Superboy put an arm around her and murmured in her ear;
"Are you ok?" She gave him one of her widest smile to date and answered by kissing him. Aqualad smiled and was about to pull the next slip out when he noticed it gone.
"What the…," he started to say when he saw a giggling boy wonder holding the bowl ransom. He pulled the next slip out and read off it;
"Ballad of the Flash by Jim's Big Ego for, clearly, Kid Flash."
A.N. I hope Miss M's inner thoughts made sense to you. Well, please review.
