Maka's POV
"Waaah! Waaah!" Melody cried waking me up.
Just when I was about to get up, I felt Soul pull my arm and stopped me from getting up. He looked to me with those crimson eyes and yawned.
"I'll get her . . . You can go back to sleep a little bit more . . ." He said kissing my hand before getting up, but then I stopped him.
"Let's get her together," I replied and he grinned.
We both walked to Melody's room and together and I picked her up and held her in my arms cradling her as Soul wrapped his arm around me. Soon Melody began to smile at us and started to giggle a little much to our happiness. Today we decided we'd go on a little picnic together as a family and talk more about the future. This would be Melody's first official family trip since the hospital. After that day I've felt better than ever and healed pretty quickly. Soul was worried for a while, but I reassured him I'd be ok.
Once we got the top of the hill at the park, we set the blanket and food up and began to enjoy our family trip. I watched as Soul would play with Melody and how I would smile as I watched them play. Soul really loved Melody and Melody was daddy's little girl. Soul handed Melody to me and then I began to play with her and watch her giggle and smile while Soul would take pictures of all of us together as a family. Soon after Melody had fallen fast asleep we put her down in her little basket and smiled to her warmly.
Soul then took my hand in his and leaned over to kiss me. As we sat there kissing for a while, until he broke it and stared at me grinning. I watched as he then pulled something out of his pocket. It was revealed to be a little present in his hand. He handed it to me as I looked at him confused.
"What's this?" I asked and he grinned.
"It was the surprise I was going to give to you before you had to go to the hospital. I wanted to give it to you that day, but because of what happened I figured I'd save it for another occasion. Plus I added another feature to it as well." He explained and gestured me to open it.
I smiled to him and slowly began to open it. As I opened the little present my eyes widen in surprise. I dangled the beautiful lovely locket in my hand and stared at it in awe. I looked to Soul and saw him gesture me to open it. As I opened it I noticed a melody began to play as it showed a picture of Soul and I together. On the other side of it, it was engraved with the word "Forever". Soon I listened carefully to the melody and I realized what was playing. I turned to Soul as he stared at me grinned.
"This is the melody!" I exclaimed and he laughed.
"I know . . ." He replied.
"The same melody that played in my head when I was in a coma. How were you able to get this melody?"
"I didn't . . . I composed it for you . . . and for Melody . . ." Soul said looking over to Melody and smiling.
As I smiled to both on them, I felt Soul lay his hand on top of mine and I smiled even more as I stared into his crimson eyes.
"Everything's going to me ok now . . ." Soul said.
"Always," I replied.
"Will always have our forever . . ."
With that he shared another blissful kiss that would certainly not be the last. I don't know what the future holds for us, but whatever happens Soul will always be by my side just like I will for him. We're partners he and I. The one's that can't be separated . . . We have an eternal bond that can never shatter . . . Our true love . . . Is our forever . . .
. . . . .
"SOUL EATER! SOUL EATER! SOUL EATER!" The crowd chanted over and over.
"Man is the crowd excited tonight! I don't think I've ever seen this many people before in my life!" Liz shouted.
"Yeah . . . People from around the world have come out tonight just for us." Kid explained.
"Well it is going to be our longest and most awesome concert ever, since this is the first concert back after Maka's pregnancy!" Black Star shouted.
"How's Melody doing right now Maka?" Tsubaki asked and I smiled widely as I held my beautiful little angel in my arms and was cradling her as she giggled and smiled.
"Just fine . . . She really loves the attention she's getting though, especially from the crowd." I replied and Soul just gave a small laugh.
"You could put her down for two seconds you know, we do kind of have a concert to perform." Soul said and I just stuck my tongue out at him as he grinned.
I looked to Melody and then the crowd again and smiled. Then I placed my hand on my locket and smiled as I felt it around my neck and with me. Tonight was the first concert after having Melody. It was also the two year anniversary since I joined the band even though that day has past. Still tonight was going to be the best night out of all the concerts we did. We've got a few special guest and this was just going to be a lot of fun. Stein came over with a surprising guest Azusa, I quickly greeted her. Stein said she'd be taking care of the baby while I performed and I couldn't be happier.
"Alright guys are you ready to make this the best damn concert of your lives." Stein asked and he all nodded and smiled.
"Then let's give them a concert they'll never forget!" He shouted and we cheered.
Soon the lights dimmed and I knew that was my cue to go on stage now with the band following behind me. I quickly kissed Melody and then a little peck on the cheek for Soul before getting into position. I currently was wearing a pink dress with a blue leather jacket over it and brown boots with my hair straight and with a hint of make-up on me. As I headed on stage I grabbed the mic and began to speak.
"Are you guys ready to rock!?" I shouted and they cheered super loud, despite the fact they really still couldn't see me because of the lights.
(Just Like Paradise & Nothin' But A Good Time from Rock of Ages Movie: Bold-Soul, Italic-Maka, Bold Italic-Black Star, Kid, Liz, Patti, and Tsubaki, and Underline-Everyone in the band)
Soon the music began to play and the crowd already went wild as the song began to play and soon the light began to shine on me as I waved to the crowd now and watched them cheer for me as I began to sing now.
This Must Be Just Like Livin In Paradise,
And I Don't Wanna Go Home!
This Must Be Just Like Livin In Paradise,
And I Don't Wanna Go Home!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
As I sang once again, it felt exhilarating! It's been a long time since I felt this way and it just feels so good again! I mean I'm starting to feel like I did that same fateful day when I first sang at my first concert!
(Tsubaki, Patti, and Liz)
Girl, You've Been Meant For This,
Since You Were Born!
(Since She Was Born)
The Problem Now The Coast Is Clear,
Is Just To Calm Before The Storm!
This Must Be Just Like Livin In Paradise,
And I Don't Wanna Go Home!
As the girls joined it just felt incredible! We were really good and I have my talented fiends to thank for that. As I sang my last part and held it out, I saw come on stage now and I could already hear the girls screaming his name as he came on and waved to them.
Not A Dime I Can't Pay My Rent,
I Can Barely Make It Through The Week,

But Right Now I Can't Make Ends Meet
I'm Always Working, Slavin, Everyday!
Gotta Get Away From That Same Old Same Old!
I Need A Chance Just To Get Away,
If You Could Hear Me Think This Is What I'd Say!
As Soul sang I felt suddenly more excited and happier. I wasn't sure if it was because we were all together or not, but I felt something special.
Don't Need Nothin,
But A Good Time,
How Can I Resist!
Ain't Lookin For Nothin,

Ain't Lookin For Nothin,
But A Good Time,
And It Don't Get Better Than This!
This Must Be Just Like Livin In Paradise,
And I Don't Wanna Go Home!
As we began to wrap up the song, I felt the music flowing through me and letting it guide me again as I sang. It obviously had an effect as everyone started to scream louder as we all sang together, which was just amazing! Once the song ended, I looked to the band as we celebrated too for our first come back song!
"Alright guys, tonight is very special as it is our two year anniversary of when we fully became a band because of my lovely wife, Maka Evans!" Soul shouted and everyone cheered for me as I laughed.
"Tonight will be playing some new songs and our most famous known songs we've sang to you all once before from America to around the world! So please stay tuned, because this concert is far from over you guys! Now let's kick it off with my husband, Kid and Black Star as they go on and sing now!" I shouted and they all cheered as I cleared off stage giving one last smile to Soul as he grinned to me.
(Remix (I Like The) by New Kids On The Block: Bold is Soul, Italic is Kid, Underline Black Star, Bold Italic is Soul and Kid, and Bold Italic Underline is everyone)
The music quickly began to play already and I could see everyone getting into position again on stage as they began to sing.
Ooh oh oh ooh! Oh oh oh oh oh ooh!
She was that girl in the corner.
Thick-rimmed glasses, everybody laughed.
Every time she passed us.
Ever the outcast, had no flava.
But who got the last laugh. Hey!
I watched as Soul wicked to the girls in the front as they squealed. That's my husband alright . . . Then I looked to Kid as it was his turn to start singing.
Always came last.
No one ever kissed her.
Missing for days, but nobody missed her.
She went from wallpaper, to heartbreaker.
You shoulda seen her.
Ooooo!
Kid looked to the crowd and gave them a wink as well and you could hear people calling his name. That's Kid for ya . . . I noticed him look back at Liz and grinned to her as she smiled back. I smiled at the both of them . . . I'm really happy for them.
Guitar
Black Star wasn't truly a singer, but he did have mad drum skills!
Baby I like the new you!
Oooh ooh!
I like the Remix baby!
Oooh ooh ! I like the Remix Remix!
Do what you doin' I like the way you do it.
Do what you doin' I like the way you do it, do it.
Everyone's voices were just perfect with the song and I was amazed. Soul and Kid even snapped their fingers together at the same time through the beat of the music.
Now her body's so crazy.
Got mad attention, everybody wants her.
I forgot to mention, my baby's so intelligent.
Down with it independent, Got it all.
I saw Kid give a glance back at me and smiled. I gave him a thumb's up as he smiled and resumed playing the guitar as Soul began to sing.
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
See no one ever knew.
She was a transformer.
Went straight from a 2, to an I just wanna own ya.
Now Soul glanced back at me and gave me one of his grins. He winked to me and mouth the words "I love you," to me and I blushed madly as he laughed.
I can't help myself, can't help myself.
I need it, need it.
Baby I like the new you
Oooh ooh
I like the Remix baby
Oooh ooh
I like the Remix Remix
Oooh ooh
I like the Remix baby
Yeah yeah yeah
Oooh ooh
I like the Remix Remix. Break it down!
Soul and Kid then started dancing around the stage waving and smiling to the crowd as they cheered them on.
I like the new you.
Forget about the old school, I love the sexy thing you turned into.
So gimme the v2, some of that love fuel.
I like the beat that your body moves to, moves to.
I noticed everyone was pretty much dancing, even myself as well as Stein. Their music just seemed to really strike me. It was fun. I even went over to pick up Melody from Azusa for a moment and I started dancing and playing with her. Soul looked back at us and just smiled as Melody began to giggle.
Do what you doin' I like the way you do it girl
I'm speechless – come on
Oooh ooh
Yeeeaaahh
I like the Remix baby
I like the new you, oh
Oooh ooh

Aaaaaaahhhh

Oooh ooh
Sexy sexy thing
I like the Remix Remix I like the v2. Said I like the new you baby, hey!
Ooh oh oh ooh! Oh oh oh oh oh ooh! Yeeahhh!
Once the song ended everyone screamed to the top of their lungs and started clapping, cheering, and screaming some more. Suddenly Soul turned to me and the grabbed the mic from the stand and looked back to the ground.
"Alright guys now it's time to hear the lovely Maka Evans sing." Soul said as I headed on stage.
"Let's see you stop that," He said to me and the crowd O'd me and I laughed.
"You're on Evans," I replied and I turned to the crowd and smiled as he walked off stage.
(Misery Business by Paramore)
I'm in the business of misery; let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass, that's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time, before we all run out.
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth.
I moved my body to the music and felt all the emotions running through me as I sang this song.
I waited eight long months, she finally set him free.
I told him I can't lie, he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we caught on fire, she's got it out for me.
But I wear the biggest smile.
I had to sing fast, but I was glad I didn't trip up and soon I began to stomp my feet to the music.
Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now. Whoa, it was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now.
But God, does it feel so good,
'Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God, it just feels so, It just feels so good.
I literally sang my heart out on this art and pointed to the crowd and started rocking out. I turned to my band members and gave them nods and they smiled, then I glanced at Soul who gave a thumb's up.
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore, you're nothing more.
I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey but I'm passing up, now look this way!
I was really feeling the music and I was having the time of my life. I never felt more alive!
Well there's a million other girls, who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible,
to get to who.
They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!
I acted a little sassy for this part and started banging my head in the air to the beat of the music.
Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now.
But God, does it feel so good,
'Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God, it just feels so, It just feels so good.
I watched his wildest dreams come true and not one of them involving you.
Just watch my wildest dreams come true, not one of them involving!
I head banged even more on this part and rocking out to Kid's guitar solo and then glanced back at Soul who was cheering for me.
Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag, to steal it all away from you now.
But God, does it feel so good,
'Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God, it just feels so, it just feels so good!
As the song ended, I landed on my knees. I got back up and then noticed everyone chanting my name and I couldn't believe it. It's like I got the same rush before when I first sang this song. I started waving to everyone and then smiling at my friends. We then headed off stage to take a quick break and change into our next outfits . . . As I walked into the dressing room, I noticed my outfit and I just grinned and shook my head.
"That Soul . . ." I said and the girls just laughed.
. . . . .
"I like the outfit," Soul grinned to me as I walked out of the dressing room with the girls.
"You're lucky I'm just doing this for the fans . . ." I groaned and he grinned.
"Come on, I know you're doing it for me too." He smirked.
"Let's just get this over with . . ."
I heard my friends laugh behind me as I started to head toward the stage with them following behind me. I can't believe I'll have to wear this outfit again . . . As we got on stage I could already hear the crowd going wild again.
(Rock You Like A Hurricane sung by Tom Cruise & Julianne Hough: Bold-Soul, Italic-Maka, Bold Italic-Soul and Maka, and Underline-Liz and Patti)
The music began to play again. Soul and I slowly walked toward each other and I as the music began to play and I could already see that stupid grin on his face and I laughed a little. Then I began to sing.
It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud.
My cat is purring, it scratches my skin.
So what is wrong with another sin?
I start to move my hips and then placed my hand to my heart and moved it all the way down my body and I could hear all the guys screaming and whistling. Then I look to Soul and wink at him as he just grins.
The bitch is hungry, she needs to tell.
So give her inches and feed her well.
Soul slowly walked toward me closely and pulls me close to him with his hand on my waist and grins.
More days to come, new places to go.
I've got to leave, it's time for a show.
I place a hand on Soul's chest grinning at him and then pushed him away and took off my leather jacket and the crowd goes super wild as I threw it to the side. I take a quick at Soul and saw his eyes wide open and I smiled. Just feels like last time we sang this song.
Here I am!
Rock you like a hurricane!
Here I am!
Rock you like a hurricane!
Soul and I walked toward each other and basically sing our hearts out and just feeling the music as we sing and I watched as he winked to the girls in the crowd who just melt over him. So I wink to the guys and they start cheering and whistling as I smile toward them. I felt Soul place his hand on my ass and I flinched and smacked his hand off and I heard him laugh a little as I glared at him a little.
My body is burning, it starts to shout.
Desire is coming, it breaks out loud.
I place a hand on Soul's shoulder and start to walk around him and act a little sexy toward him and he just grins.
Lust is in cages till storm breaks loose.
Just have to make it with someone I choose.
I felt him grab my hand and pull me toward him and placed his hand around my waist again and the crowd cheers even more as we stared at each other intensely.
The night is calling, I have to go.
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show,
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win.
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting!
Soul this time is the one that releases me as we both take some steps back from each other, but still staring at each other. He even licked his lips at me and I slightly blushed, but then brushed it off quickly but noticed him grin toward me.
Here I am!
Rock you like a hurricane!
(Are you ready, baby?)
Here I am!
Rock you like a hurricane!
(Rock you like a hurricane)
Once again we slowly walked toward each other singing our hearts out and then pointing to the crowd and giving a show.
Here I am!
Rock you like a hurricane!
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
Here I am!
Rock you like a hurricane!
Here I am!
For this verse I was the one to pull Soul close to me, by tugging his jacket. Then he took my hand and twirled me and then grabbed my waist and dipped me right when the song ended. The crowd cheers, screams, and whistles toward us as we still stare into each other's eyes and breathe heavily. He released me and we turned our attention back to the crowd as we wave and smile to them. I quickly went off stage as Soul began to prepare for his next song.
(Whisper in the Dark by Skillet)
Soul grabbed the mic with both his hands as the song began to play.
Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
I watched as Soul head bangs his head to the drums beat and I could hear the crowd already rocking out to the song.
Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
The girls in the front row squealed as Soul winks to them as he sings with all his might.
I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
Soul now starts to rock out and point to the people in the crowd as they scream his name.
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Suddenly he glances toward my direction and sings this verse. I watched as his crimson eyes staring into my eyes. I smiled and he grinned while still singing.
You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses
My eyes widen to this next part as he still sang toward me. It was just like the last time when he sang this song to me. He was sending his message to me through this song. My eyes widen as he grinned and then faced back to the crowd.
I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
Girls continued to squeal as I still stood awe struck . . . He remembered that he sang this song to me before. I smiled now at him.
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Soul continued to rock out and glance to the rest of the band as he smiles at them and they smile back. He turns to the crowd and starts singing his heart out and really gets into the music.
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Once the song ended the crowd went crazy. I mean there were people trying to get through the bodyguards that blocked the stage. Soul then came off the stage with the rest of the band. He quickly took my hand and said we'd head to the dressing room. As he dragged me and pulled me to the dressing room, I watched as he closed the door and then quickly turned toward me and crashed his lips to mine and I grinned in between our kisses.
"Someone's rather impatient. Is this outfit just really that sexy?" I grinned and I heard him give a small laugh as he lifted me onto the dressing room table still kissing me as I wrapped my legs around him.
"You have no idea," He replied.
. . . . .
After my little make-out session with Soul. I went with the girls and quickly changed out of this outfit and then came out and saw one of our surprise guests.
"Mary!" I said going up and greeting her as she hugged me and I smiled to her.
"It's so good to see you again Maka! How are you doing?" She asked.
"I'm fine thanks, do you get a chance to see my baby yet?" I asked and she shook her head.
I quickly dragged her to see Melody and Mary was totally awe struck as she began to hold the baby and cradle her as Melody giggled.
"She looks just like you." Mary spoke.
"Only she has her father's eyes." I replied.
"Alright you two, come on we've still got a show to do!" Stein said and we nodded as Mary handed the baby back to Azusa and we headed on stage.
The crowd screamed as Mary came on stage and I smiled to her. We both looked at each other than the crowd and soon I began to speak.
"As you can see we have the lovely Mary here with us tonight and tonight she going to join me in this one song that harbors a lot of emotions . . . This song I wrote in the past when I was going through a lot of stuff . . . However, it's because of this song and my friends and family that I was able to overcome all my obstacles. So please listen to it!" I said and the crowd went crazy wild.
(Because of You by Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson: Mary-Bold, Maka-Italic, and Bold Italic-Mary and Maka)
The music began to play and I closed my eyes and hearing now a different and yet similar melody to the song. I began to let all those emotions I once had, run through me for the last time.
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
I watched as Mary began to sing first and as she sang it's like I could feel those old memories again play in my head. The reason I why I wrote this song . . .
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
Memories flooded as I began to remember all those feelings I once harbored into this song. How it all changed so quickly after I had met my true friend and now family.
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
As I began to sing my first solo in the song, I looked back and saw Soul holding Melody now and watching them both stare at me and smiling toward me. I gave a small smile back to them and felt a warmth in my heart for them as I continued to sing to the crowd.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
(I watched you die)
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
(In your sleep, I was too young for you)
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
(To lean on me, you never saw me)
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Mary and I now began to sing together and I noticed our voices become a perfect harmony. As we both sang I didn't feel so sad as I did when I first sang this song. Instead I feel stronger . . . I wasn't sure if it was because Mary was singing with me or not . . . But I definitely didn't feel alone anymore.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you
I closed my eyes tight for this next verse and just sang all my pain and sorrow away. I just felt now at peace with myself. As I walked off stage, I quickly went to the dressing room to change out of this outfit. When I came out, I saw Soul still holding Melody and I walked over to them and smiled.
"Now you can't get your hands off her." I smiled to Soul and he grinned.
"Yeah . . . Daddy's little girl right Melody?" Soul said and she giggled and we both laughed.
Soul then handed her back to Azusa as we both headed on stage again to sing. I looked back and watched as Mary now was playing with the baby and I laughed. Then Soul and I quickly got into position. Soul sat in front of the piano and then nodded to me when he was ready.
(Just Give Me A Reason sung by Sam Tsui and Kylee: Bold-Soul, Italic-Maka, and Bold Italic-Soul and Maka)
I turned to Soul to cue him to start playing. I closed my eyes as he began to play the sweet melody of the song and opened them slowly and began to sing.
Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love
As I sang this verse, it kind of me reminded me of Soul and I when we first started figuring out our feelings for each other. That was so long ago, yet I could tell remember all of it like it was yesterday.
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Soul quickly joined me in singing as he played the piano. Now this verse definitely reminded me of Soul and I as we both didn't want to hurt each other when we've already been hurt.
I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin
And it's all in your mind
Yeah but this is happenin
You've been havin real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love
Now it was Soul's turn for a solo and he sang it with all his heart. He sang it as if he was in pain and I glanced at him and saw him staring at me and I quickly turned back to the crowd and began to sing my parts through the song and sounded too as if I was in pain and sang louder at the end making the crowd go louder for us.
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I'll never stop
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Now Soul and I turned to each other and I started to sing to him as I walked closer to him by the piano.
Oh tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean
We both were no facing each other staring into each other's eyes as we sang while Soul continued to play the piano. We both sang louder and louder, until it was my solo at the end as I had to sing louder than ever before making the crowd cheer louder.
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again.
Once the song ended the crowd cheered louder than ever. Soon Soul headed off stage and I got ready to sing my next song right away. I quickly put my head set mic on now.
(Brave by Sara Bareilles)
Some dancers came out from behind the stage as the music began to play and I adjusted my head set mic as I was getting ready to sing and dance for the crowd.
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
I began to sing and dance a little to the crowd, but I turned and saw the dancers doing their own dance moves, no matter how cool or uncool they were. At least they were brave enough to do it, which is why I'm singing this song tonight to the crowd to tell them to just express themselves.
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
As I started to sing this next verse I sang it to the crowd who were dancing as like me on stage just having fun. I reached out to the crowd and touched some fans hands as I sang to them.
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I glanced back at Soul and smiled toward him as he grinned at me and gave me another thumb's up. I started to dance again and noticed some people in the front dancing and cheering with me as I gave them a thumb's up. I noticed the crowd really enjoying themselves now.
Everybody's been there,
Everybody's been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Suddenly the music stopped and everyone froze, but then quickly danced again and I was probably having so much fun with this song as I danced and sang my heart out to everyone.
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I watched as some of the dancers started to play around and make fools of themselves as they danced making the crowd laugh not at them, but with them and I smiled to that as I continued singing.
And since your history of silence
Won't do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don't you tell them the truth?
The dancers then even got wilder and crazy which the crowd loved and I even loved and I was just having so much fun on stage. I almost forgot I was performing!
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
Once the song ended I gave a bow like the rest of the dancers as I exited off stage with everyone and was quickly pulled into an embrace by Soul as he quickly stole a kiss from me. I blushed madly as everyone just laughed. Soul then now went on stage leaving me blushing making me a little embarrassed.
"That Soul . . ." I said.
(Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy)
The band started to clap their hands and soon the crowd started to clap their hands too and soon I joined in.
She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
A joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
And weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's "it cant get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
As Soul began to sing, people continued to clap and I heard the music began to pick up tempo and Soul began to sing a little faster.
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
I need them just to get by
The music definitely got faster and Soul sang faster as well and people in the crowd began to cheer louder for him, including me.
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Right when Soul sang this verse everyone in the crowd started to jump up and down and sing like crazy and I even started dancing along with the music cheering him on with a smile on my face.
You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
I need them just to get by
Why don't you show me a little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love
I watched as Soul and the band began to jump up and down and began to dance to the music as Soul sang.
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me a little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
As Soul sang I noticed he glanced back at me and saw me dancing and I noticed and blushed a little and stopped and he grinned turning back to the crowd and singing.
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Once the song ended the crowd cheered louder than ever before and started to clap their hands as Soul and everyone walked off stage. I congratulated all of them and telling them they did awesome. Soul smiled to me and then I could hear the crowd chanting our names as they waited for us. I looked back at Soul and gave a smile to him as he gave me a quick peck on the cheek before heading to the dressing rooms.
. . . . .
(Awake and Alive by Skillet: Bold-Soul, Italic-Maka, and Bold Italic-Soul and Maka)
Soon lights were flashing on and off really fast on us as the music began to play. It was Soul's turn to go up first and sing.
I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slippin' from your arms
Soon the music began to play louder and I watched as Soul began to sing the song. I watched as he sang with passion and soul. Soon right on cue Soul walked up to the platform and extended his hand from behind the curtain and I grinned.
It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
I took his hand in mine and started to sing my part of the song as he pulled me onto stage. They crowd wildly for me as I sang my part and as Soul grinned to me as we walked down the platform together.
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Soon Soul and I began to sing and dance together on stage and as I looked back to my friends I smiled to them. This feeling was just so intense and incredible.
I'm at war with the world cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold
When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again
As we continued to sing the crowd kept getting louder and louder for us as we performed. It's been a while since we had a concert, but now we're coming back strong for our fans.
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
In the dark
I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you
As we sang I could feel the music and it's energy flowing through me. It was really good to be back on stage. I started to sing even more with my heart now.
I'm awake I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
here (right here), right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Waking up waking up
Once the song ended Soul waved to the crowd as he excited on stage and someone else came on stage and I could hear all the girls screaming already from his presence as he waved to them.
"Please welcome ladies and gentlemen Foxes!" I shouted and they screamed.
He walked over to me and gave a quick hug before looking to the crowd and waving to them. He quickly grabbed his mic as we got into position and spoke.
"Great to be here guys, now let's get this party started!" He shouted.
(You and I sung by Luke Edgemon and Monique Abbadie(The Voice): Bold-Foxes and Italic-Maka)
It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you
As the music began to play, Foxes went up first and I realized it's been a long time, since I last sang with him and man was he good! Brings back memories of when we did that music video together.
You taste like whiskey when you kiss me, oh
I'd give anything again to be your baby doll
This time I'm not leaving without you
It was my turn now to sing and I sang it all I had and the crowd loved us and we really began to enjoy ourselves being on stage together again.
He said, sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
And you said to me
Somethin', somethin' about this place
Somethin', somethin' 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Somethin', somethin' about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about, baby, you and I
As we both sang we gave it more heart and soul and the crowd just loved it and I could hear the girls squealing for Foxes. Not bad for them now that's he's engaged and about to married within a couple of weeks.
Hey!
You and I, yeah, you and I
(Yeah, yeah!)
I'd rather die
Without you and I!
You and I, Oh, you and I
I rather die
Without you and I
It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
And this time I'm not leaving without you
As the song grew closer to the end, we started to slowly walk up to each other as we sang the last verse. We were so close now with our faces only inches away as the lights began to fade. Then we smiled to each other and faced the crowd as they cheered. We then cleared off stage as I got ready for the next song. For this song now we have another special guest that will be performing with me once again. This time I wore a beautiful pure white strapless dress that was long and a little puffy. I wore now angelic make-up and had my hair in a side bun with two long strands of hair on the side of my face.
As I exited the dressing room, I saw all eyes go on me and I began to blush madly. I felt someone's arm snake around my waist and I turned to see a grinning Soul and I smiled.
"You look very beautiful in that outfit." He whispered and I grinned giving him a quick peck on the lips before grabbing Melody out of Azusa's hands.
I watched as she giggled in my arms as I cradled her. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned and smiled to them and greeted them warmly as they smiled to me.
"Aaron Mina! I'm so glad you guys could make it!" I exclaimed and they smiled and turned their attention to Melody.
I smiled and handed Melody to Mina who began to make Melody giggle along with Aaron. Melody really loved the attention. Soon Mina handed her back to me and I cradled her in my arms again.
"Are you ready to show the world this beautiful baby?" Mina asked and I nodded.
"Let's give them a performance of a life time then." Aaron replied.
I nodded and quickly handed the baby to Mina and went on stage to announce the very speical guests.
"Alright everyone we've got two special guests tonight so please welcome Civil Wars and my daughter Melody!" I shouted and the crowd went louder than ever before as Aaron and Mina walked on stage and together with Melody.
Mina quickly handed Melody to me before she got into position with Aaron as he set up his guitar and sat on the tall stool next to Mina. Then I took my seat as well with Melody in my arms as Mina adjusted our mics. Soul to my surprisingly came out and pulled another tall stool and sat next to me and I smiled. He really loves his little girl and me.
"This next song is for my darling daughter Melody." I spoke.
"This one's for you little baby girl." Aaron said.
(Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift: Bold-Maka, Bold Italic-Maka and Mina, Bold Underline-Maka and Aaron, and Italic Underline-Mina and Aaron)
Aaron soon began to strum his guitar and a beautiful and sweet melody began to play as I got ready to sing to my beautiful daughter.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
As I sang I saw Aaron and Mina stare at me then to the baby. I turned to Soul who was smiling as his eyes were locked on mine then to Melody. I felt his arm on my back as he rubbed it a little.
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Soon Mina joined it right on cue. I smiled to her as I continued to sing as she smiled back. I then looked at my baby as she was smiling and laughing softly to the song.
Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone
Soon Aaron joined to and began to sing and I smiled to him as well as I continued to sing with everyone. Then I noticed little Melody slowly on and off closing her eyes. Someone must be really tired . . .
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La(La La)
La La(La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
As we sang together it felt so different from when I sang with other people. It was more relaxing with them and we sang in perfect harmony together. Soon little baby Melody drifted asleep.
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh.
Once I finished singing my eyes stayed locked on Melody as I watched her sleeping face and thought how cute she was. The crowd cheered loudly and thankfully for us Melody was a heavy sleeper like her father. Soon we exited stage and quickly changed again for the next song. I looked to Azusa and saw her cradling Melody as she slept and then I turned to Soul as we both headed on stage and got ready to sing right away.
(Waiting For a Girl Like You (Extended) from Rock Of Ages: Bod-Soul, Italic-Maka, and Bold Italic-Soul and Maka)
As we got to positions on stage the lights went out slowly and the music began to play softly in the background as everyone was now quiet.
So long, I've been looking too hard, I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find,
I only know it's a matter of time When you love someone,
when you love someone
A spot light slowly hit Soul as he started to sing his verse of the song. He was looking in my general direction as he sang and I saw a smile on his face as he sang and I could hear some girls squealing over him. He slowly began to walk a little closer toward me, but stopped at a good distance.
It feels so right, so warm and true, I need to know if you feel it too
Maybe I'm wrong, won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before, this time I wanna be sure
A spot light now slowly shined on me as I began to sing looking at Soul and smiling to him as he grinned to me. I slowly walked to him as he sang his part still staying where he was. Then I stopped a good distance from him and sang my part as I placed my hand on my heart as if I was unsure.
I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, a love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
Won't you come into my life?
Soul began to sing again to me and I felt my heart beating fast as he continued to look at me and no one else. I felt myself smiling widely at him, and then I began to sing to him as he smiled at me. Then he began to sing again walking closer to me and then I started to walk toward him, until we both were face to face and we both sang together smiling. This really brings back memories of us.
You're so good . . .
When we made love it's understood
It's more than a touch . . .
It's a word we say
Only in dreams could I be this way . . .
When you love someone . . .
Yeah . . .
Suddenly the music began to change and I walked away from Soul, for the next part I had to do. I walked to the stair platforms where there was a poll. I took my jacket off as the music got sexier and the crowd went wild including the guys as I began to dance around the poll sexy like as I held the poll and tilled my head back. As I started to dance around the poll again, I saw staring at me shocked and yet grinning at me, as I grinned back to him. He started to walk closer to me and as I walked over to him and he grabbed me and dipped me as I sang my part. As I sang to him I slowly stood straight back up still staring at him. I than touched my body sexy like and saw Soul looked turned on and I smiled.
Really love . . . Some . . . one . . .
Now I know it's right . . .
From when the moment I wake up
Till deep in the night
He jokingly sang his part like he was and actually is turned on as I placed my hand on his shoulder and walked behind him as he sang. I slowly went back down the stair platforms as Soul continued to sing. I tuned back to him and as we stared into each other's eyes.
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be than holding you tenderly
I've been waiting for a girl/boy like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl/boy like you, a love that will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl/boy like you to come into my life
As I sang my last solo part Soul came walking toward me, until we were faced to face staring at each other. As we both sang now Soul offered me his hand and I slowly took it as the crowd cheered for us loudly. We slowly began to dance a little as we sang to each other, until the song ended and we were so close to each other. Soon the crowd screamed and clapped for us and we turned to them. I exited stage now as Soul stayed on and got ready for the next song.
"Ok guys now let's change things up a bit! I heard there were a lot of people from Japan here tonight so these next songs for out to all of you!" Soul shouted and crowd screamed.
(C No Binetsu by Aucifer (For the record my Favorite Japanese rock band! They have an anime show too called Kaikan Phrase go check it out!)
Once the band began to play I smiled as they began to play. I think these next songs really made the band and Soul stood out in Japan.
Sunrise... mado be ni tatsu Kimi wa obuje
Furetara Sen no namida ni kawaru
Sunset... koori no tsuki tokasu you ni
Yami ni raitaa kazashita Lonely Venus
(Sunrise… You stand on the windowsill.
When touched, you turn into one thousand tears.
Sunset… As if to melt the icy moon…
…You are a lonely Venus, pointing a lighter to the darkness.)
In my head I began to translate the lyrics into English once again and as I thought of the words and how they captivated me. . .
Kimi ga iru no wa Kanashimi no jeiru
Dare mo Sukuu koto wa dekinai keredo
(Where you live is a jail of sadness.
And no one can free you from there, but…)
Furueru Cherry
Sotto Kiss shite Nemurasete ageru
Yoru wo suberu Toiki wa Fairy Dance
Itooshiki Cherry
Mawaru hoshi kara Furi otosareteku
Kimi no yume wo mamoreru nara... dakitomeyou
(Trembling Cherry
I will softly kiss you and let you sleep.
The breaths that slide along the night are a fairy dance
Beloved Cherry
You begin to fall from this whirling planet.
But if I can protect your dreams…
Then I will catch you.)
I listen more to the music and Soul singing, it felt so different from before . . . The song it's self was like a poem and it was just speaking to me . . .
Midnight... kioku ga yobu Caanibaru wa
Kimi wo shibaru feiku sa Lonely Circus
(Midnight... the carnival that your memory brings up…
…is a fake lonely circus that holds you captive.)
Hito wa Jibun ga omotteru yori mo
Zutto Koware yasui ikimono dakara
(That is because people are…
…much more fragile than they realize.)
I never felt this strong feeling as they played. It was so different from when they play their other songs in English . . . It's like the music was speaking to me and making me feel all these emotions in side.
Mayoeru Cherry
Himitsu no nami ni Sarawarete shimae
Kami ni hikaru Shizuku wa Fairy Stone
Itooshiki Cherry
Yowasa mo miseta Kokoro no nuudo ga
Utsukushikute mabushii kara... me wo fuseta yo
(Distressed Cherry
I hope the secret waves take you far away.
The waterfall that shines in your hair are fairy stones
Beloved Cherry
The nude portrait I saw of your weak heart…
…was so beautiful and brilliant...
…that I turned my eyes away.)
Moshimo hebun ni Hi wo hanateta nara
Moete hai ni naru sa unmei sae mo
(If up at Heaven,
Blazes of fire fall,
Then burn on.
Turn everything to ash. Even fate.)
I place my hand on my heart and realized it was beating wildly. This was just incredible . . .! I looked to the crowd who started to feel what I feel and it was just amazing. I watched as Soul and the band played and I think they were surprised themselves once again.
Furueru Cherry
Sotto Kiss shite Nemurasete ageru
Yoru wo suberu Toiki wa Fairy Dance
Itooshiki Cherry
Mawaru hoshi kara Furi otosareteku
Kimi no yume wo mamoreru nara... dakitomeyou
(Trembling Cherry
I will softly kiss you and let you sleep.
The breaths that slide along the night are a fairy dance
Beloved Cherry
You begin to fall from this whirling planet.
But if I can protect your dreams…
Then I will catch you.)
As the song was ending Soul turned to me grinning and I smiled back to him and cheering for them. Soul and the band then quickly got ready for another song.
(Datenshi BLUE by Aucifer)
I heard the music begin to play and my heart started to race again just like before. This feeling really just was incredible.
Kire ta tenshi to akuma no
Half nanda ne ore-tachi
Tsumi no daiya wo shabutta
Hysteric na kuchibiru de
(We are all half angel and half devil.
With our hysteric lips, drenched in diamonds of sin…)
Nakushita yume wo
Sagasu you na kiss
Tejou hazushite hoshikerya
Hip mawashite nedare yo
Knife ni utsuru omae ga
Jelly mitai ni torokeru
(…We kiss as if searching for our lost dreams.
If you want me to undo your chains, then wiggle your hips and beg me.
Your reflection in the knife melts away like jello.)
Nageki no poem
Tsudzuri nagara baby! ready for dance?
(While spelling poems of grief…
Baby! Ready for dance?)
As Soul began to sing again, I could still feel the feeling from last time as he sang. It was like the lyrics or poem of this song was really getting to me and I felt so strange again.
Tsubasa no ato ga kasuka ni hikaru
Dakishimeau tabi
Namida wo himeta sono hitomi wa
Blue...blue...datenshi blue
Sou kodoku ni kogoeta iro sa
(The remains of the wings glimmer faintly,
Whenever we embrace.
Your eyes, soaked in tears, are…
BLUE... BLUE... fallen angel BLUE
Yeah, they're the color of frozen loneliness.)
As he began to sing the chorus I could hear the crowd going totally go wild for him. I looked back to my friends as they smiled and watching Soul play along with the band.
Douse kanashii mirai sa
Ore ni go-doru de urina yo
Daiji na mono ga nanda ka
Jesus datte wakaranai
(Your future will only bring sadness anyway, so sell it to me for $5.
Not even Jesus Christ knows what is really precious.)
Hi no kioku to baby! ready for dance?
Baby! baby! give me a chance...
(With memories of fire, Baby! Ready for dance?
Baby! Baby! Give me a chance...)
As he sang I noticed how he was grinning and winking to the crowd and how they just loved him. I cheered for him as well as he continued to sing. He turned and noticed me cheering and smiled.
Tsubasa no ato ga kasuka ni hikaru
Dakishimeau tabi
Horobita hazu no rakuen ga ima
Koko ni wa aru no sa
Furimukanai de yami wa itsumo
Blue...blue...datenshi blue
Aa kodoku ni yarare chimau ze
...yarareru mae ni
Ai ni tobikome...
(The remains of the wings glimmer faintly,
Whenever we embrace.
Eden, which was supposed to have been destroyed,
Has been here all along.
Don't look back. The darkness is always…
BLUE... BLUE... fallen angel BLUE
Ah, this loneliness is killing me!
...Before I'm killed, I'll dive into love...)
As the song ended I quickly went to the dressing room to change again and came back out and headed on stage where I was greeted by the fans once again.
(Again by Yui)
The music began to play and I felt myself feeling the beat of the music and letting all my emotions run wild as I begin to song.
Yume no tsuzuki oikakete ita hazu na no ni
Magarikunetta hosoimichi hito ni tsumazuku
(I thought I was running after something carried over from my dreams,
Yet I'm stumbling into people on this narrow, winding road.)
As I sang I gave a determination stare to the crowd who cheered for me as I sang and stared at all of them
Ano koro mitai ni tte modoritai wake ja nai no nakushite kita sora wo sagashiteru
Wakatte kuremasu you ni gisei ni natta you na kanashii kao wa yamete yo
(It's not like I want to go back to the way things were back then,
I'm just searching for the sky I've lost.
I hope you understand.
Stop making that sad face as though you were a victim.)
I began to sing softly, but then gradually started to get louder and so did the crowd as I sang.
Tsumi no saigo wa namida ja nai yo zutto kurushiku seotteku n da
Deguchi mienai kanjou meiro ni
Dare wo matteru no?
Shiroi NOOTO ni tsuzutta you ni
Motto sunao ni hakidashitai yo
Nani kara nogaretai n da
Genjitsutte yatsu ka?
(Sins don't end with tears,
You have to carry the pain forever.
who am I waiting for in this maze with no exit in sight?
a blank notebook.
make me want to release my feelings more and more
What do I want to escape from?
... is it reality?)
Kanaeru tame ni ikiteru n datte
Wasurechai usou na yoru no mannaka
Bunan ni nante yatterarenai kara
Kaeru basho mo nai no
Kono omoi wo keshite shimau ni wa
Mada jinsei nagai desho natsukashiku naru
Konna itami mo kankei jan
(Makes me want to scream that we live on do u hear me? I can't play it safe no more ... I've got nowhere to go home to.
There's still so much in life to remove this feeling.
(I'm on the way)
I even welcome this pain
for the things I miss)
I began to sing louder and faster and began to move my body with the beat of the music each time and the crowd went wild. I even looked back to a grinning Soul. I began to walk around stage and even shook some hands with the crowd again like before . . .
Ayamara nakucha ikenai yo ne aa gomen ne
Umaku ienakute shinpai kaketa mama datta ne
(I have to apologize for this. Ah, I'm sorry.
I can't say it well. I'm just causing worry.)
Ano hi kakaeta zenbu ashita kakaeru zenbu
Junbann tsuketari wa shinai kara
Wakatte kuremasu you ni sotto me wo tojita n da
Mitakunai mono made mienda mon
(Everything that I embraced that day. Everything that I will embrace tomorrow
I will not arrange them in any order.
I hope you understand. I closed my eyes
but I could still see things I do not want to see.)
I never felt more a live then this moment actually singing again and feeling happy and carefree. I loved being on stage and I loved being with my friends. It really does feel like I'm in Japan again singing this same song.
Iranai uwasa ni chotto hajimete kiku hatsugen docchi
Mukai attara tomodachi datte
Uso wa yamete ne
Fukai HAATO ga iradatsu you ni karada n naka moete iru n da
Hontou wa kitai shiten no
Genjitsutte yatsu ka
(From the useless rumors, which one was it that i heard first?
"Face it and you will be friends"
Don't tell lies like these.
My heart being agitated from deep inside,
a burning sensation runs through my body.
Actually I'm expecting something
from this thing called "reality".)
Kanaeru tame ni ikiteru n datte
Sakebitaku naru yo kikoete imasu ka?
Bunan ni nante yatte'rarenai kara
Kaeru basho mo nai no
Yasashisa ni wa itsumo kansha shiteru
Dakara tsuyoku naritai susumu tame ni
Teki mo mikata mo kankei jan
(It makes me want to scream that we're alive
For things to come true. Can you hear me?
I can't put up with playing it safe.
... I've got nowhere to go home to.
I'm always grateful for kindness
That's why I want to grow stronger,
(I'm on the way)
...to march on.
I welcome friends and foes.)
God the rush of this music was just incredible and it's something I never want to forget. I remember how I felt the day I sang this song. I had lost my reason for singing at the time, but it's because of this song I was able to sing again.
Dou yatte tsugi no DOA akeru n ate kangaeteru
Mou hikikaesenai monogatari hajimatteru n da
Me wo samase me wo samase
(How do I open the next door? I'm thinking.
I can't take back this story that has begun.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.)
Kono omoi wo keshite shimau ni wa
Mada jinsei nagai desho?
Yari nokoshiteru koto yari naoshite mitai kara
Mou ichido yukou ka?
(I still have too long a life ahead
to get rid of these feelings, right?
I want to try doing over
the things I've left undone
Shall we go AGAIN?)
Kanaeru tame ni ikiteru n ate
Sakebitaku naru yo kikoete imasu ka?
Bunan ni nante yatterarenai kara
Kaeru basho mo nai no
Yasashisa ni wa itsumo kansha shiteru
Dakara tsuyoku naritai natsukashiku naru
Konna itami mo kankei jan
(It makes me want to scream that we're alive
For things to come true. Can you hear me?
I can't put up with playing it safe.
... I've got nowhere to go home to.
I'm always grateful for kindness
That's why I want to grow stronger,
(I'm on the way)
I even welcome this pain
for the things I miss)
Once this song ended the next song was already about to come on and I could hear the crowd already wanting more as I got ready to sing again once I finished changing into my other outfit. This song however, was a song that really meant a lot to me as it was a message to the person I love. As the music began to play I turned to see Soul staring at me and widen his eyes when he realized the song.
(Eternal Snow by Changin' My Life)
I noticed now fake snow was falling on stage and everyone looked excited by it. I smiled to the crowd as I grabbed the mic with both my hands and began to sing.
Kimi wo suki ni natte dorekurai tatsu no kana?
Kimochi fukurande yuku bakari de
Kimi wa kono omoi kidzuiteiru no kana?
Ichido mo kotoba ni wa shitenai kedo
(I fell in love with you… just how long has it been since then?
My feelings have only been getting stronger
I wonder… have you realized how I feel?
Even though I've never said a word…)
Yuki no you ni tada shizukani
Furitsumori tsudzukete yuku
(It's like snowflakes drifting… gently…
…continuing to pile up higher and higher)
As I sang I realized how emotional this song really was and actually felt my heart aching a little inside for some reason as I sang. I guess it really got to me this song compare to the one's I sang before.
Hold me tight, konna omoi nara
Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi
Shiritaku nakatta yo
I love you, namida tomaranai
Konnan ja kimi no koto
Shirazuni ireba yokatta yo
(Hold me tight… if this is how it feels…
The feeling of falling in love with someone…
I never want to know this feeling
I love you… I can't stop my tears from falling…
In that case, then you…
…should have never came into my life)
As I sang the chorus part, I sang with all the emotions welling up inside me and decided to let them out. I could see the crowd using their cell phones or lights and waved it side to side.
Kimi wo itsumade omotteiru no kana?
Tameiki ga mado garasu kumoraseta
(I wonder… how long will I keep thinking about you?
My breath is fogging up the window glass)
Yureru kokoro tomosu kyandoru de
Ima tokashite yukenai kana?
(My trembling heart is… next to the lit candle…
…and melting now. I wonder… will it survive?)
Hold me tight, oreru hodo tsuyoku
Kogarashi fubuki ni deatte mo
Samukunai youni to
I miss you, kimi wo omou tabi
Amikake no kono mafuraa
Konya mo hitori dakishimeru yo
(Hold me tight… so tight that I might break…
…so that when we meet in the frigid gale of a blizzard…
… I won't be cold anymore.
I miss you… I think of you… so far away…
with this hand-knit muffler…
…I'm here alone, holding myself again tonight.)
I realized it was hard to see through the crowd because of how dark it was, but thanks to the phones and lighters I could see everyone and saw some people even crying. Meaning my song was reaching to them.
Eien ni furu yuki ga aru nara
Kimi he to tsudzuku kono omoi kakuseru no kana?
(If the snow keeps on falling forever…
…will it cover up my feelings for you?)
Hold me tight, konna omoi nara
Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi
Shiritaku nakatta yo
I love you, mune ni komiageru
Fuyuzora ni sakebitai
Ima sugu kimi ni aitai yo
(Hold me tight… if this is how it feels…
The feeling of falling in love with someone…
I never want to know this feeling
I love you… it's filling up my heart…
I want to shout to the winter sky…
I want to meet you right now.)
Hold me tight…
I love you…
As the song gradually began to die down the crowd went wild. I waved to my fans and even smiled to them. Soon Soul came on stage next to me and gave a quick kiss to me on the cheek making everyone scream even louder at us, while I stood there blushing like an idiot. I looked up to him laughing and grinning and I smiled to that.
(Eien wa Tada Ichibyou Kara by JUJU Ft. Jay'ed: Bold-Soul, Italic- Maka, and Bold Italic-Soul and Maka)
"Tonight will be the first night Maka and I have ever done a duet in a Japanese song we made, so please listen to our song!" Soul explained and crowd went wild and we looked at each other and smiled and waited for the music to play.
"Gomen" sae mo iezu ni
Fukigen na soburi shite
Sono nakigao ni kanashimu koto mo
Wasurete ita yo ne
(The apology that remains unspoken
With a dreary presence
And a face that was grieving in tears
Those . . . I would never be able to forget)
As Soul went up first and sang his part, I could feel all the emotions he was putting into this verse as he sang to the crowd.
"Kirai" to itta koto mo
Furihanashita kono te mo
Sono yasashisa ni narete shimatte
Kizutsukete bakari de
(The "Hate You" even though you said
Our hands already let go
But the warmth and affection we got used to
Now only hurt the wound)
It was my turn to sing now and I as I sang I put all my emotions to this verse to and sang with all my heart to the crowd as they cheered me on.
Sukoshi hanareta kakudo kara
Mireba onaji keshiki na no ni
Chikai kara surechigau no ne
Ima ai wo
Shinjireba
Tsuyoku nareru
(The same scenery;
It was to be looked at from afar
Would be much different when we come a
Little closer
At this moment, love
If we believe in it, will become a lot stronger)
Arifureta hibi no naka
Nando mo butsukari atta
Soredemo mukiatte kita no wa
Tokubetsu na hito dakara
(During the passing days
Many times there will be conflicts
Yet I only have my mind set on
That special person)
As Soul and I both sang, we looked at each other as we sang this verse and put soul and passion into the song to make it more alive. This song had so many emotions and we had to express them all.
Yuzurenai to omotteta
Kenka shita riyuu sae
Ushinau kurai nara oreru kara
Soba ni ite hoshii
(I thought it was impossible for us to part
Even though the lights
Thought if we lost each other, everything would shatter into pieces
I only yearned to be next to you)
Sukoshi dake kidzuita koto wa
Puraido yori mamoritai mono
Motto sunao ni nareta nara
Me no mae no
Guuzen ga
Kiseki ni kawaru
(There's one thing I care of
The thing I would protect more than my pride
When I become more sincere
In front of our eyes, coincidentally,
A miracle happens)
Kurikaesu hibi no naka
Nando mo hitotsu ni naru
Ima subete ga mitasenai no wa
Futari no ai tsudzuku kara
(The reminiscences of our old days comes rushing back
When two become one
Right now, there's nothing can measure
The love between us)
This song we made together really just talked about the struggles we went through and how we overcame them, because our love was just strong enough. We stared into each other's intensely as we continued to sing our hearts out.
Ima sugu ni dakishimerareru nara
Sono ude ni tsutsumareta nara
Itsumademo hanashitaku wa nai
Aishite
Aishita
Futari de
Ikutsu mo
Yoru wo koete
(This moment if I could embrace her
If I was wrapped in his arms
I would never ever let go
Love me
I've been loving you
Two of us
We will survive through this night)
Soul and I were now staring at each other as we sang and were grinning to each other. This song was not only about for us, but for our fans as well as they cheered us on.
Kurikaesu hibi no naka
Futari ga hitotsu ni naru
(The reminiscences of our old days comes rushing back
When two become one)
Arifureta hibi no naka
Futari de kasanete kita
Jikan wa tada no ichibyou kara
Eien he no hajimari
Eien he no hajimari sa
(Our passing days, two of us
With the time we have been through
Only one more second
Until the everlasting begins
It's the start of eternity)
As Son and I wrapped up the song we were now super close with our lips only a few inches away, but we both just smiled and looked to the crowd that cheered for us.
"That was our first duet Japanese song and we are so glad you guys loves it! Now I'll let Soul take over now as I get ready for the next song!" I shouted and they screamed.
I waved good-bye and went off stage as it was Soul's turn again to sing. He looked back to the band and nodded to them to cue the next song. He then looked at me and winked as I gave a thumb's up to him and got ready and changed into my next outfit. I heard a melody began to play as I exited the dressing room.
(Dakishimeru Hoka Ni by Aucifer)
I noticed Soul sitting in front of the piano and not playing a beautiful melody that brought back memories of Japan.
Nemuru kimi no madogoshi ni sora ga
Yaseta tsuki o asa yake ni tokasu
(I went to your window while you slept, there I saw the sky
It absorbed the tiny moon at dawn)
As he sang this verse I felt my heart beating again as he sang those beautiful and captivating words.
Riyuu mo naku toki ha nagare
Kimi hitori o otona ni suru yo
(Without realizing, time flows away
I'll make you into a woman)
My eyes widen as he said this verse I looked to him and noticed her was actually looking at me to my surprise. He did this just like last time and he still had the ability to make me feeling this way.
Hareta shuumatsu ha umi made aruite
Arashi no yoru ni ha BEDDO de jareatta ne
(During the weekend we walked up to the sea
And the stormy night we had fun in bed)
Yume no kakera sae sagasenai boku ga
Kimi no tame ni ima nani ga dekirundarou?
...dakishimeru hoka ni
(I can't even find the trails of my dreams . . .
What else can I do now?
Except to hold you . . .)
As he continued to sing he looked only at m. I saw the seriousness in his eyes and I wanted to avoid them, but I just couldn't.
Natsu no koi ni yakedo shita mune ha
Fuyu no mae ni yasashisa o nedaru
(My breast is marked by the fire of the summer love
Now I'm begging for the caresses to begin during the winter)
Ara kezuri na ai ha itsumo
Kimi no egao yuuutsu ni suru yo
(The rough love that always
Makes your smile stained by sadness).
He began to look back at the crowd now, but would glance at me every so often. I smiled to him and cheered him on along with my friends.
Deai no binetsu futari ha kagayaki
Kiss o bara maite hoshikuzu atsumeta ne
Mahou ga togirete odorenai boku ha
Kimi no tame ni ima nani ga dekirundarou?
...dakishimeru hoka ni
(The fever we get because we both shine so brightly
Kissing together we went to the land of the stars
Once the music ended, I couldn't dance
What else could I do?
Except to hold you . . .)
As the song was ending I listened to the words he sang and it reminded me of the night we fell asleep watching the stars in the tour bus. I was so happy then with him . . . and I still am. I really love him . . . Soon he came off stage and saw me and smiled to me.
"Where's Melody now?" He asked.
"With Azusa . . . She'll be fine they should be in the dressing room, but Azusa said they'll be out it a second." I replied and right on cue she came out.
I quickly gave a kiss to Soul before walking out on stage and heading for to the piano and sitting in front of it. I looked to my band members and smiled and soon we began to play.
(Sayonara no Natsu by Aoi Teshima)
I began play the piano swiftly and then looked to the crowd and smiled before I began to sing.
Hikaru umi ni kasumu funewha
Sayonara no kiteki nokoshimasu
Yurui saka o orite yukeba
Natsu iro no kaze ni aeru kashira
Watashi no ai sore wa merodī
Takaku hikuku utau no
(A ship veiled in the shining sea
leaves behind the steam of good-bye
If I went down that loose hill,
would I meet the summer coloured wind
My love is a melody
which I sing high and low)
Watashi no ai sore wa kamome
Takaku hikuku tobu no
Yuuhi no naka yonde mitara
Yasashii anata ni aeru kashira
(My love is a seagull
that flies high and low
If I tried to call out in the sunset,
I wonder if I'd encounter the gentle you)
As I began to sing now I sang softly and then slowly getting a little louder. I would close my eyes and just picture my family and I spending time together and just at peace. I smile to that thought as I continue to sing.
Dare ka ga hiku piano no oto
Uminari mitai ni kikoemasu
Osoi gogo o yuki kau hito
Natsu iro no yume o hakobu kashira
Watashi no ai sore wa daiarī
Hibi no pēji tsuzuru no
(The sound of a piano that somebody plays
very much resembles the rumbling of the sea
Do the people who come and go late in the afternoon
carry a summer coloured dream too?
My love is a diary
that spells the pages of my life)
Watashi no ai sore wa kobune
Sora no umi o yuku no
Yuuhi no naka furikaereba
Anata wa watashi o sagasu kashira
(My love is a boat
that goes throughout the empty sea
If I looked back in the sunset,
I wonder if you'd be looking for me)
The music was just beautiful and it just gave a nostalgic feeling. I turned to see soul holding a sleeping Melody and to that I smiled as I continued to sing and see the crowd with their lighters or phones and swaying it in the air.
Sanpomichi ni yureru kigi wa
Sayonara no kage o otoshimasu
Furui chaperu kazami no tori
Natsu iro no machi wa mieru kashira
Kinou no ai sore wa namida
Yagate kawaki kieru no
(On the promenade shaking trees
cast shadows of good-bye
Can the old chapel and chicken weather vane
be seen in the summer coloured town
Yesterday's love is nothing more but tears
they will soon dry out and disappear)
Ashita no ai sore wa rufuran
Owari no nai kotoba
Yuuhi no naka meguriaeba
Anata wa watashi o daku kashira
(Tomorrow's love is a mere refrain -
words that have no end
If we met by chance in the sunset,
I wonder if you'd embrace me.)
Once the song ended everyone clapped for me and cheer as I exited stage and got changed once again. Then I took Melody from Soul and held her as he laid a kiss on her and then me before walking on stage. I watched as he got into position and got ready to sing. Then Azusa came and took her from me, but still stood by me so Melody would be close to me.
(Tokyo Illusion by Aucifer)
I listened as the music began to play and the crowd screaming Soul Eater and I was very happy to see that as Soul got ready to sing again.
Uso ni mamireta
sekai wa ima yuki no naka

(This world, stained by lies
is now covered in snow.
Even our absolute zero kiss
burns with a fiery heat as
this is our reality.)

(Tokyo One Night Illusion
Floating in a platinum darkness.
Running up skyscrapers
as we rewrite our tragic futures.
If the sun melts our dreams
we'll return to that sinful city but
our love continues to rain down.)
As Soul sang I felt the music flow within me and I couldn't help, but cheer and smile for him and the band as they all performed together.
Itami no naka de

(Tokyo One Night Illusion
A flower of pure white snow blooms.
We embrace at a terminal
to see off a lone bus.
Tactless reality will always try to
tear our hands apart but
our love continues to rain down.)
I watched as Soul sang to the crowd and grinning to them. I never really thought about it, but Soul must really love being on stage like this. He must really love it.
(Crystal of Love) kono sekai de
(Shining of love) omae dake wo kanjite
(Crystal of love) toki wo tomete ima

(Crystal of love) Stop time now
(Shining of love) because love is piling up in my heart...)
Bokura wa konya mezamete
hikari wo sasayaku
(Tonight we awaken
and whisper about the light.)
I watched as he sang with passion and soul into the song and I felt like his singing was really getting through me to the heart. I place my hand on my heart and felt it beating like crazy.

(We embrace at a terminal

...our love shines.)
Once the song ended he walked off stage and got ready for the next song that would be our second to last song before we end tonight's concert. I entered the stage now and still saw an energetic crowd. I got into position now and waited for the lights to hit me.
(Papermoon by Tommy heavenly6(To Gotenksluver I actually had planned to use this song, but I'm actually glad you suggested it because now I'll definitely use it! So thanks!)
The music began to start and I began to play along with the band on my guitar and I could already hear the crowd cheering.
I'm Falling Down Into My Shadow
iki wo hisomete matteiru Deadly Night
Don't scary majou ga egaita KABOCHA no basha mo
sono me ni utsuseru kara
(I'm Falling Down Into My Shadow
and hold my breath because what's waiting is a Deadly Night.
Don't scary, the witch just drew a pumpkin carriage and
is only reflected in your eyes.)
As I began to sing I started to feel like before again . . . I started to pour all my emotions to the song to create a better effect and it seemed to work as the crowd grew louder as I sang.
See you in your dreams Yeah Baby
kowai yume dato shitemo
(See you in your dreams. Yeah Baby,
Even if they are nightmares.)
Fairy Blue kimi no tame ni hoshi wo kudaki
kasaritsuketa Black Paper Moon
shinjitekureta nara When you're lost here I am
Forever with your soul
miagereba kagayaku tsuki no you ni
(Fairy Blue, for you, I shatter the stars
and use them to adorn the Black Paper Moon.
Because you believed in me, when you're lost, here I am
Forever with your soul.
If I look up, you shine like the moon.)
I now began to feel the music change a little as I sang and played and I began to sing louder and more powerful. It's like the music exploded and we just all sounded amazing.
amai shinku no JAMU mo
otoshita KA-DO ni ukabi agaru moji
Your Destiny kimi ga nozomeba donna sekai mo
sono te ni tsukameru kara
(The sweet Crimson Jam
that fell in the card raised the spell.
Your Destiny, if you wish for it, no matter the world,
you can grasp it with those hands.)
I never felt this way while playing and singing, but boy was I amazed to hear the crowd loving it more than I do and I was glad . . .
madowasarenai de
dare ni mo kowasenai
(Don't be confused,
don't let anyone shatter it.)
Fairy Blue kimi ga kureta ikiru akashi kizuna to iu eien
sakende kureta nara I will find you, My dear
doko ni ite mo
karamitsuku jubaku wo tokihanatte
(Fairy Blue you gave me proof to live, a bond called eternity.
If you call for me, I will find you, My Dear,
No matter where you are,
I'll release you from your curse.)
I turned to Soul and was grinning. He smiled to me and started cheering me on just like my other friends.
dare mo shinjirarenakute hikutsu ni naru toki mo aru
soredemo kimi no kotoba ha itsudemo mune ni hibiiteru
(I didn't want to believe in anyone, there was a time I was mean,
but even so, your words have always resounded in my heart.)
Fairy Blue kimi no tame ni hoshi wo kudaki kazaritsuketa mejirushi
yume wo miushinatte mayotta toki
miagete hoshii
(Fairy Blue, for you, I shatter the stars and adorn the signs.
When you lose sight of your dreams and get confused,
please raise your head.)
The music began to change and I began to sing with all my heart and I could feel all my emotions running through me giving me strength . . .
Fairy Blue kimi ga kureta ikiru akashi kizuna to iu shinrai
(Fairy Blue you gave me proof to live, a bond called confidence.)
kimi ha hitori janai
When you're lost here I am
Forever with your soul
tadoritsukeru kimi ga shinjiru nara
(You aren't alone,
When you're lost here I am
Forever with your soul
because you finally trust in me!)
I played the last note and it was all over and the crowd screamed, cheered, and clapped loud as ever. I then along with the band walked off stage to change outfits once again. As we all walked on stage together the crowd screamed our names and began to chanting Soul Eater. I picked up my guitar and sat on the tall stool next to the piano where Soul would be sitting and looked over to him as he got ready into position. I looked to everyone who nodded.
(Bring Me the Night by Sam Tsui & Kina Grannis: Bold-Soul, Italic-Maka, and Bold Italic-Soul and Maka.)
Soon Soul began to play the piano swiftly and began to sing as the spot light shined only on him.
Measuring days in the spaces between our goodbyes
Learning to wait through the endless parade
Of our same old see-you-next-time's
But when I close my eyes, the miles melt away
Like you're here in my arms at the end of the day
As Soul began to sing, I noticed him glancing toward me as he sang. He grinned while he sang and then turned his attention to the crowd who started to shine their phones or lighters in the air.
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
You
Soon I joined in with my guitar and began to sing along with him as the lights shined on me too now and I grinned to him as well. As we sang together we just let the music flow through us.
Swear I don't know if the days are as slow as they seem
Wondering when you'll be with me again and this
Finally can be more than just a dream
But when I close my eyes, I want only to stay
Where the farthest you are is a heartbeat away
It was now my turn for a solo part and I just let all my emotions wash over the song as I sang and let the music just guide me as I strummed the guitar. I would look over to Soul and saw him grinning toward me and then to the crowd.
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
And it's enough, knowing you are calling to me
While we're dreaming beneath the same moon
All it takes is imagining you so that I can get through
One more long and lonely day
So bring the night, tell me it's near
Give me the chance to pretend to you're here
Darken the sky and light up the moon,
Please bring it soon
As Soul and I continued to sing we would glance at each other and smile to one another and then avert our eyes back to the crowd who continued to cheer for us.
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night,
Bring me the night,
Bring me the night,
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
Once the beautiful song was over. We headed backstage and went to the dressing rooms for one last time as we got ready to sing our last song. Now Mary and Foxes would join us in our last performance of the night. We all huddled in one big group and said a few words.
"This is the last performance of the night so let's make it our coolest performance ever." Soul said and we all nodded.
Soon the crowd began to chant our names and we knew it was time for us to head on stage. As we headed on stage we got ready into positions, the band started to play while I talked to the crowd.
"Sadly like all great things it must come to an end . . . This will be the last song for tonight and we hoped you've enjoyed tonight's performance! Tonight was probably the best concert we've ever done and we have you all to thank for that! So now let's wrap this concert up!" I shouted and the crowd shouted.
(Don't Stop Believen' from Rock of Ages)
Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
As I began to sing on top the high platform I looked to the crowd who already began to cheer loudly as the recognized the song and to that I smiled to them.
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere
Soul began to sing to me as he slowly walked up to the platforms toward me. This felt like a dream right now . . . As he reached to my side I smiled and blushed to him. I walked away, but came back with an electric guitar and handed it to him just like last time. All those emotions from the last time I sang this song were still here and I could feel them flowing through me. I put my arms around him and kissed him as he kissed me back and the crowd began to cheer and squeal loudly.
A singer in a smokey 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
Soul played the guitar now and began to sing. The crowd cheered for us as did our friends. He looked to me as I now stood beside him and began to sing with me.
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
As we sang it felt all just perfect to me. We sang back to back now as Soul played the guitar. Then we looked at each other's eyes and I noticed his beautiful crimson eyes as he sang.
(Kid)
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Kid got an electric gustier now and began to play and sing now.
(Foxes and Black Star)
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
(Mary)
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Soon our friends began to join in and sang. Soul continued to play as we walked down the platforms and went toward them.
(Soul and Maka)
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
Soul and I began to sing again to each other and we sang with all our hearts out. I sang with all my feelings and hoped they reached to everyone. I laid my hand on his shoulder as we both sang now.
(Everyone)
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
Dont stop
As the song began to wrap up with the finishing chords, fireworks shot in the air and the crowd went crazy wild. Once the music stopped they clapped, screamed, cheered, squealed and etc. for us. We all began to hug each other and then gave our final bow to them.
"Thanks again for coming out tonight guys it's been one cool ride with all of you and we hope to see you guys next time!" I shouted in the mic and they cheered.
Suddenly I felt Soul's hand in mine now and I turned to him and we both smiled as we proceeded off the stage. I turned back to the crowd and smiled. This truly would be an unforgettable night . . . for all of us . . .
. . . . .
"This is what we exactly need after a long ass concert." Liz said laying on the blanket over the grass next to Kid.
"Yeah, but you've got to admit that concert was truly our best." Kid stated.
"HECK YEAH IT WAS! IT WAS BECAUSE YOU ALL HAD THE GREAT-!" Black Star shouted, until Tsubaki covered his mouth.
"Black Star be quiet or you'll wake the baby!" Tsubaki scolded.
"Oops . . . Sorry Melody . . ." Black Star apologized, but she was still sound asleep.
We were all currently at the park having a nice relaxing picnic together after a long night of singing and dancing. I currently was leaning on a tree with Melody in my arms and Soul's arm around my waist as I leaned on him as we both stared at the baby while she sleeps. I looked up to Soul and he quickly planted a kiss on my lips and I grinned in between. When we pulled away Patti began to speak.
"So what do you think happens now?" Patti asked confusing us.
"What do you mean sis?" Liz asked sitting up now.
"Like what's next after this? We just finished our longest concert ever so what now!?" She exclaimed.
"Patti does seem to have a point . . ." Kid said.
"Like?" Soul asked.
"Well you and Maka now have another life to look after and it was great having her some to the concert and all yesterday, but there's no way you can keep doing this over and over right? I mean you've got a family now Soul . . . It's time for you to watch over it now . . ." Kid explained.
"You're right . . . But I've always had a family Kid . . . We just now have a new addition to the family." Soul replied and I smiled to him as we looked at Melody.
"Still won't raising a family be hard since we do a lot of traveling as a band? I mean a life a celebrity won't be easy while taking care of a baby." Tsubaki questioned.
"I'm sure it will be hard at first, but I'm sure will manage . . . As long as we're together we can overcome anything. I mean look what we've overcame already. " I spoke.
"Besides we've already thought about this and have already made a decision . . . I'm sure one day their will come a time where Soul Eater will have to come to an end, but not today . . . This is only the beginning of our journey . . . We may be number one for now, but unless we keep trying in keeping our position." Soul explained.
"Looks like we're going to have our hands full for a while." Liz said.
"This is going to be awesome! Soul Eater lives on!" Black Star shouted.
"Right," Tsubaki smiled.
"I guess there's only one thing left to do." Kid said as he placed his hand in front of him and we all knew what that meant.
Soon Liz placed her hand on top of his, followed by Patti, Black Star, and then Tsubaki. Then I placed my hand on top of hers. I felt Soul's warms hands follow after on mine. We all looked at each other and then smiled. Soul Eater will last forever, because it will always be a part of us . . .
"SOUL EATER FOREVER!" We shouted and cheered.
I watched as my friends celebrated as I stared at Melody and gave a small sigh. Suddenly I felt's Soul's hand squeeze my hand a little and I looked up to see a concerned Soul.
"What's wrong Maka?" He asked and I smiled to him.
"I really hope we're making the right decision . . . I mean don't get me wrong I'm happy, but . . ." I spoke.
"But?"
"After my mother left Papa and I, I've had to take care of the both of us . . . So I really never knew what it's like to have or mother or even be one now . . . I'm just scared that maybe I'll screw up along the way and not be the mother Melody deserves . . ."
Suddenly Soul leaned over to me and kissed me on the forehead and laughed and then looked at Melody as he began to speak again.
"Melody already has the coolest and incredible mother she deserves. Plus you'll never be alone Maka, because you'll always have our friends and most importantly, you'll have me . . . I knew to this too, but that's why will learn together . . ." Soul explained and I smiled.
"Well will have plenty of time to work on it I guess." I smiled and he grinned.
"Forever and ever and ever." Soul grinned.
"That's sounds about right to me."
"I love you,"
"I love you more,"
Soul then began to lean over to me and placed a sweet, gentle, warm, and passionate kiss on my lips. I realize as we kissed that out of every kissed we shared, this would be the one we'd never forget . . . Our love was so much stronger now than ever was before. Soul and I knew that no matter what we face will always face together . . . We then continued blissfully into this perfect little life of our forever . . .
