Chapter 18- Songs Part 2
"Okay, I'm ready." Serena said confidently. What she didn't notice is that Ash was watching her very carefully, Drew, Gary and May all have noticed this. May told the girls, while Gary told Paul and Jimmy. The girls silently giggled while the boys snickered.
"Ashy-Boy is in love" Gary whispered. Ash was daydreaming about something else, so he didn't notice that the boys were talking about him.
Serena sat at her keyboard and tested out the sound. May went to her guitar, Dawn to her bass and Leaf went to the drums.
"Okay, 1, 2, 3, go!" Leaf yelled.
"Boys, they're handsome and strong. But always the first to tell me I'm wrong. Boys try to tame me, I know" Serena started singing.
"They tell me I'm weird and won't let it go"
"No, I'm fine, I'm lying on the floor again. Cracked door, I always wanna let you in."
"Even after all of this shit, I'm resilient"
They entered the chorus; Ash was impressed with Serena's singing and was blushing.
"'Cause a princess doesn't cry" Serena sang while the other girls sang "No-oh".
"A princess doesn't cry"
"No-oh, oh"
"Over monsters in the night. Don't waste our precious time. On boys with pretty eyes"
"A princess doesn't cry"
"No-oh"
"A princess doesn't cry"
"No-oh, oh"
"Burning like a fire. You feel it all inside. But wipe your teary eyes"
They sang part of the chorus again. Ash thought that Serena was a princess, but then he thought if the song was directed towards him. Does Serena not like me? No, if May said that Serena likes me then she should like me, right?
"Girls, so pretty and poised. And soft to the touch. But God made me rough."
"Girls, so heavy the crown"
"They carry it tall. But it's weighing me down"
They sang the chorus again, Solidad had loved this song, it reminded her of something from her childhood. Hm, I'm glad that the younger generation is doing something, unlike my generation.
"Keep it in a jar, gonna leave it for the next one."
"Yeah, I'm fine, I won't waste my time"
"Keep it in a jar, gonna leave it for the next one"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm lying on the floor again"
They sang the chorus one last time and Serena ended the song.
"Burning like a fire. You feel it all inside"
"But wipe your teary eyes. 'Cause princesses don't cry"
"Don't cry, don't cry, oh. Don't cry. Don't cry, oh. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, oh"
"'Cause princesses don't cry. Don't cry, don't cry, oh. Don't cry. Don't cry, oh"
"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, oh"
"'Cause princesses don't cry" Serena sang, finishing the song.
"That was amazing! Tell me, where did you come up with that song?" Solidad asked.
Please don't say something about me! Ash thought.
"A boy from my childhood had always said mean stuff about girls, so I came up with this song, to show him and everyone out there that all of us girls are princesses and we don't cry."
"How is this for a music video?" Jimmy asked, Serena. He drew some sketches and ideas written down and Serena loved it.
"I loved it! And if you guys need any dancers for your music videos, you can always ask me and my dance group!" Marina said.
"I keep on forgetting that you have a dance group," May said, "And I was a member of."
"Wait you do?" Jimmy asked.
"Yep, we're called Showtime!" Marina said with a wink.
"I liked it a whole lot. You are a good singer, Serena." Ash said while blushing a bit.
"T-Thank you Ash." Serena said while blushing. "Anyway, May, it's your time."
"Alright! Mine's already pre-recorded track, so I'll set that up and we'll be good to go." May said.
She set up the speakers playing her song and she started singing with her eyes closed. She also played the song along with her guitar.
"I know you, you're a special one. Some see crazy where I see love."
"You fall so low but shoot so high. Big dreamers shoot for open sky"
"So much life in those open eyes. So much depth, you look for the light
"
"But when your wounds open, you will cry. You'll cry out now and you'll question why"
"I can see a rainbow. In your tears as they fall on down. I can see your soul grow. Through the pain as they hit the ground"
"I can see a rainbow. In your tears as the sun comes out. As the sun comes out"
"I am here, and I see your pain. Through the storms, through the clouds, the rain."
"I'm telling you, you cannot escape. You can do it, just feel baby."
She sang the chorus again, Drew was very impressed by her voice which he had heard already, but he was always still captivated by it, it's grace and beauty.
"In your tears as the sun comes out."
"As the sun comes out"
"Here comes the sun. Smiling down"
"Here comes the sun. Smiling down"
"Here comes the sun. Smiling down"
"Smiling down"
"I can see a rainbow. In your tears as they fall on down"
"I can see your soul grow. Through the pain as they hit the ground."
"I can see a rainbow. In your tears as the sun comes out"
"As the sun comes out"
"I can see a rainbow. In your tears as they fall on down"
"I can see your soul grow. Through the pain as they hit the ground"
"I can see a rainbow. In your tears as the sun comes out"
"As the sun comes out" May sang, finishing the song.
"Wow, amazing!" All the girls said.
"Your voice is still as awesome as ever, May!" Ash said with a thumbs up. Gary nodded his head agreeing with Ash.
Drew gave May a smile which caused her to blush.
"Your voice is just like I remember it, it's a whole lot stronger and more beautiful!" Solidad said.
"Thank you so much!" May said, she set down her guitar and went over to Leaf and whispered something to her. "Oh, and Jimmy, I have an idea for my music video, I sent you the details beforehand." She said. He took a quick look and nodded in approval.
"Okay, now, Leaf and I came up with this song a while ago, but she memorized it pretty quick. So, here is her song!" May said.
Leaf went up and picked up her guitar which she would play along with a track that was pre-recorded.
"Seems like just yesterday. You were a part of me" She began singing.
"I used to stand so tall. I used to be so strong"
"Your arms around me tight. Everything it felt so right"
"Unbreakable."
"Like nothing could go wrong"
"Now I can't breathe. No, I can't sleep"
"I'm barely hanging on" She started to sing the chorus.
"Here I am once again. I'm torn into pieces"
"Can't deny it, can't pretend. Just thought you were the one"
"Broken up deep inside. But you won't get to see the tears I cry"
"Behind these hazel eyes"
"I told you everything. Opened up and let you in"
"You made me feel all right. For once in my life"
"Now all that's left of me. Is what I pretend to be?"
"So together. But so broken up inside"
"'Cause I can't breathe. No, I can't sleep"
"I'm barely hanging on"
"Here I am once again. I'm torn into pieces"
"Can't deny it, can't pretend"
"Just thought you were the one"
"Broken up deep inside"
"But you won't get to see. The tears I cry"
"Behind these hazel eyes"
"Swallow me then spit me out"
"For hating you I blame myself"
"Seeing you it kills me now"
"No I don't cry on the outside"
"Anymore, anymore"
"Here I am once again. I'm torn into pieces"
"Can't deny it, can't pretend"
"Just thought you were the one"
"Broken up deep inside"
"But you won't get to see. The tears I cry"
"Behind these hazel eyes"
"Here I am once again. I'm torn into pieces"
"Can't deny it, can't pretend"
"Just thought you were the one"
"Broken up deep inside"
"But you won't get to see. The tears I cry"
"Behind these hazel eyes" She finished singing.
Gary thought to himself, this song was directed towards me, for being such an asshole to Leaf. I don't think I apologized about that; I should do that. But still, so beautiful, does she deserve someone like me?
"You have such a powerful voice filled with emotion; it reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger." Solidad said.
"Thank you so much!"
"What do you think of this?" Jimmy asked Leaf, showing her his ideas for the video.
"Hm, I was thinking of more of a school setting." Leaf said.
"Hm?" Jimmy looked at what he wrote and changed it, "I could work with that."
"Could we take a bit of a break? I'm getting hungry." May said, "I'll need the energy."
"That sounds good." Solidad said.
They all went up to the dining room to see that their personal chef had made lasagna.
"Thank you so much Pierre!" May said.
"But of course! And there is plenty, so eat up!" Pierre said and went to the kitchen to clean up.
"This is the best!" Ash said and continued eating quickly.
The girls giggled at Ash's childish behavior. Serena finished her plate quickly, and said that she went to made dessert.
Ash swallowed everything and ran after Serena saying that he would help.
"So, do you all think by the end of the day, Ash will confess?" Gary asked the girls.
"I'm pretty sure that he will, if not, then Serena will." May said.
"If they don't both confess, I'm still inviting Serena's cousin, who will knack some sense into her." Leaf said.
"I'm finished, I'll be downstairs working on designs." Dawn said.
"I'll come with you; we can decide on stuff for your video." Jimmy said.
Marina followed after them, after a couple minutes of finishing. May took seconds, as did Solidad, Drew took seconds. Paul left, most likely to sulk. Leaf and Gary left. Which left Solidad, Drew, and May.
"So, what are you guys singing?" Solidad asked. May looked and Drew and they smirked.
"You'll just have to wait and see!" May said with a wink.
