Today is the day of the competition Manic and the others are really nervous, there behind stage looking over there notes and listening to there music. Manic is pacing back and fourth he his a nervous mess
where is Scourge. I thought he would be here*
Just as Manic thought that Scourge came in with a bag in his left hand.
"Finally! Scourge your late!" Manic jumps at the green hedgehog
"My bad I was just doing business." Scourge shrugged.
Manic rolled his eyes and listen to the band on the stage. Manic's band was up next after Lady, she ruled that stage her song was so moving Manic enjoyed every bit of it. And he hates that he does. Scourge sees Manic Panic and walks over to the lime hedgehog. Scourge stands by him also looking at the stage, Scourge decided to say something to Manic to at least help him feel better.
"Manic"
"Yeah."
"Look. Everything is going to be fine. I told you that I would make sure you would not lose. You won't stop singing, and that's a promise..."
Manic just looks at Scourge a little shocked at what he said. I know Manic has not known Scourge for long but he said that with confidence and with promise. Manic never thought Scourge would be the kind of guy to make a promise like that or even care to this, I guess Manic misunderstood him.
"Thank you everyone~" That was Lady she finished her song. That means it's Manic's turn.
She walks off the stage and turns to Manic with a grin.
"Just give up. You won't win." She said so coldly that it made Manic shiver. She left with a evil giggle, Manic just watches her leave until Scourge cuts though.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. I'm not going to lose to her!" Manic growled to which Scourge just gave a smirk. Then Roxie jumps in panicking.
"Guys!!!" She said
"Roxie what's up?" Manic speaks to her
"Chris. Manic he's sick!"
"What! No. No. No. he can't be sick. Not on this day!" Manic says pulling at his bangs that are in his face. Scourge grabbed Manic's hands and pulled them down because he did not want Manic to hurt himself.
"Manic what are we going to do? Timber can't play because he's on sound and beat."
"...!"
"Manic?" Roxie looks at Manic. Manic just turns to Scourge with a smirk on his face.
"What?" Scourge says
"Well we have a guitar player right here~" Manic said wrapping his left arm around Scourges shoulders.
"What!? Hell no."
"Come on. Please Scourge" Manic pulls out his good looks on Scourge. This works on him very well and he said yes.
Everyone is on the stage and soon they started to play there song Zero. Manic and Scourge made the song together it's just about how Manic had to go though so much in his life and that he had no one until he met his friends which where his light in his black hole of a life.
Everyone was rocking out to it, it had smooth parts but then kicks into a up beat duet between Manic and Roxie.
3 minutes later...
The song ends and everyone is just happy with what they got Manic gives away his signature wink to the crowd then walks off and then waits for the announcements.
Roxie, Timber, Manic, and Scourge sit and wait. It feels like time his slow because it's taking forever.
"Manic"
"What's up?"
"...nothing.. never mind"
"Okay"
"LADYS AND GENTLEMEN HERE ARE THE FIVE FINALISTS.. Monarchs, Lilly Melody, Raven Brave, Lady Single, and , Manic and the three sins!" A black and white cat calls out to the crowd. Manic and the rest of the band is happy with this and waits again until they have to go up on stage to see if there in the safe zone.
"Well we'll well. You made it, but that doesn't mean you'll win!" Lady walks over to say
"Well winning isn't everything, as long as you just have fun at what your doing" Manic said
She just rolled her eyes and walked off Manic was pleased but then was called on stage with his band and the other people.
"Here we are. Our final people, guys leaders take a step forward please~"
They did so and each one of them was nervous, but not lady.
"Monarchs you were pleasent like always so your fans gave to 7.8 score. You and your band is Safe!"
He took a step back to hold his friends in relief.
"Lilly you were amazing so your score was 8.0! Not bad your safe from the cut!"
"Lady. You always shine bright your score was 8.5 a score to keeps you away from the cut!"
Lady walks back to her band but whispers into Manic ear. *beat that~*
Manic just growled then was next.
"Manic your band was incredible! You sure took a turn for the best your score was 8.8!" Manic eyes went wide with surprise he beat lily, the monarchs and Lady! He was Safe. He walked to his friends to give them all hugs.
"Guys! We did it! We're Safe!!!" Manic jumps with joy while holding Roxie and Timber Scourge just watches because he hates hugs.
"NOO! Manic of all people does not beat me. NO! I call BULL!" Lady storms
"Shut up! Don't get your hair in a knot" Manic spat
"Raven your where amazing so moving like always that's why your score is 9.9 which keeps you away from the cut!" She smiles and walks to her band.
The leaders line up side by side with there color string behind them. They don't face there string, all they do it wait for the coach to cut one string then when it's time they turn around to look.
"Here we go~!" The woman said
They all wait then without no surprise...The Monarchs are gone! They all turn and they see that his string was cut. That means he can't sing here anymore. Some people in the crowd began to cry a little. Manic did feel bad but he was really happy with what he got.
"WE DID IT!!" Manic jumps off stage and goes to his band mates and hugs them. Manic then goes up to Scourge and gives him a hug. Scourge just stands there not really knowing what to do. Then Manic speaks.
"It's not a hug if the other doesn't hug back..."
"Heh. You loser..."
Manic and Scourge stay that way for a good minute then...Lady came.
"YOU. YOU BASTERD. You weren't supposed to win you had to lose!!!" She started to punch Manic and then she started to swing her hand and was going for a slap...but Scourge intervenes by taking the slap. He was surprise how strong she was, it actually hurt he turned his head and held his cheek.
"LADY!" Manic yells at her but she runs away
"My god. Scourge you alright?
"Yeah. She hits like a girl..."
"Your face is red?"
"Yeah. She may hit like a girl...but...she hurt me..."
"Aww...does Scourge need a kiss to make him feel better~"
Scourges eyes went wide on that, he turned to Manic and scourge just gave him a smirk. To which Manic knew why he is doing that.
"Yo Scourge I was joking"
"Naw. Come on give me one~"
Scourge grabs Manic's waste and pulls him close. So close that they are nose to nose. Manic's hand are on Scourges Shoulders, they just look at one another eye lids half closed. Scourge knows Manic won't do nothing but then he feels Manic's hand slide slowly up Scourges neck. Scourge just shivers and starts to blush.
is he really going to kiss me?*
Manic pulls Scourges face closer to which they can smell each ones breath. Lips are so close you can feel them hovering on top. But no someone had to interrupt.
"Manic? You back here?" Manic's boyfriend
"Umm! Yeah!!" Manic pushes Scourge off so hard that he feel on the floor.
"Ah here you are!"
"Yup. Hey." Manic said
"Um..whys your friend on the floor?"
"He fell. What's up?"
"Just wanted to congratulate you!" He then gave Manic a kiss to which Scourge just rolled his eyes.
"Also I wanted to take you to dinner if that good?"
"Yeah it is!"
Scourge got up again and was going to say something but someone interrupted. The black and white cat
"Manic hello. My god did you do great!"
"Thank you"
"Yeah...Umm.. look Manic I know you were safe from the cut but...we don't approve of violence..."
"What?" Manic said confused
"We heard that you cause fights with the other band people. And well we don't think you should sing here."
"I'm sorry what!? When have I picked a fight?"
"Lady told me that you verbally abused her"
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah. And well other people are backing her up it's her word and others agents yours. Sorry."
"No. No we worked hard to do this."
"Sorry. Just please leave. You can no longer sing here."
Manic just looked at her then hugged picked up his things and walked off. Scourge and Manic's boyfriend followd.
There arrived outside waiting for the others. Once they got there Manic just said it and they were broken after that. Scourge just left bad he promised that Manjc would still sing...!... Scourge got a great idea.
"Come on guys you won! Celebrate!" Scourge said but the others just looked at him.
"Did you not here what I said. We're done!" Manic signed
"Ah! No your not. And you know why. Because you four are going to start singing at my club!" Scourge winked at the group, to which they were just confused.
"Your club?" Timber said
"Yup. Club Rider!"
"WHAT! T-that club was yours?" Roxie said
"Yup. And I want you guys to sing there"
"Really?" Mankc said
"Yes."
The rest looked at one another and smiled bright.
"Does it lay?" Timber asked
"Good money. Yes!" Scourge replies
"We...we can start over! At a new club start something new!" Manic began, scourge smiled at that.
"Thank you!" They all said.
"We have a deal" scourge asked
"YES!" They all said.
The band was going to start at a new club make new song's and sing them with heart. This is just there beginning.
