Season 2 Chapter 7: First Impressions
So far my day in the park was pretty average. Me and Dolly decided to chill out and take our minds off somethings. At this point it's probably easy to tell what would be on my mind.
"You still thinking about those two huh?", Dolly asked.
"Yeah, There's so many connections between me and those two.", I replied. "They look exactly like me, They're from Arizona, Their names both start with A like mines, I mean the list goes on and on. What other proof do I need?"
Dolly sighed, before saying, "Aaron, just try not to think about it. You're starting to act and sound like Dante."
Even though she was right about me being paranoid I still feel like those two are up to something. I laid against a tree beside Dolly taking in the fresh air, but before I could get the chance to relax a group a dogs, cats, and many other anthros brushed past us like a stampede.
"What's up with them?", I asked.
"Who knows.", Dolly shrugged. "But now I'm kinda interested to see what the ruckus is all about."
Following behind the crowd was none other than a peppy young dalmatian in a wheelchair. "Hey Delgado!", I called stopping him in his tracks. "You know what's got everybody so shook?"
"You didn't hear?", He asked with surprise. "There's a two man band getting ready to perform here in the park. They're humans just like you.", He pointed out.
Me and Dolly both shared unamused glances. Now I wanna see what these two copies of me are doing. "Alright let's go check out this rockin band.", I cheered with fake excitement.
This crowd was huge, people and anthros of all ages and genders were here for this. The banner draped over the railing of the stage read "The Double A's". This must've been the band name Aiden and Adam chose for their "Band".
On the concert stage was Aiden tuning a light blue wireless electric guitar. Adam was hooking up some expensive looking speakers before retrieving two drumsticks and positioning himself at amazingly designed drum set. The crowd around me chattered among themselves before a loud sound came from the speakers.
"Good afternoon London, Ladies and Gentlemen.", Aiden spoke into the microphone. "Me and Adam here are honored to have all of you show up to this concert. It really means a lot to the both of us."
Right after Aiden was finished thanking the crowd, Adam had begun playing the drums. "This...is for you London.", Aiden said with determination before beginning their show with an amazing guitar solo. Both of them in sync with each other as their instruments became pure music.
Song Name: Reach for the Stars from Sonic Colors extra lyrics added by me.
Take off at the speed of sound,
Bright lights and colors all around!,
I'm running wild living,
Fast! and Free!,
Got no regrets inside of me
Not looking back,
Not giving up,
Not letting go!,
I'm gonna keep on running!
I'm gonna Reach For the Stars,
Although they look pretty far,
I'm gonna find my own way...And take a chance on today!
A sky with stars so bright,
The colors feel so right,
I never felt like this,
I'll keep on running!
A sky with stars so bright,
The colors feel so right,
Just take my hand,
We're gonna Reach for the Stars...
Tonight,
Tonight!
I've never heard someone sing so well, ok I'm lying, but Aiden didn't seem like the rock type to be one hundred percent honest. Everyone around me was either cheering or dancing and Dolly was doing both with Delgado.
Wake up!
Living day by day,
Do what I want,
And I'll do it my way!
The world is running right below my feet,
Got no regrets inside of me!
Not looking back,
Adam: (On the past!)
Not giving up,
Adam: (On the ones we love!)
Not letting go,
I'm gonna keep on running!
I'm gonna Reach for the Stars,
Although the look pretty far!
I'm gonna find my own way,
And take a chance on today!
A sky with stars so bright,
The colors feel so right,
I've never felt like this,
I'll keep on running!
A sky with stars so bright,
The colors feel so right,
Just take my hand,
We all can Reach for the Stars tonight!
Tonight!
"I guess I may have overlooked these two.", I thought eyeing them both enjoying themselves on the stage. If they are clones of me then they must not have any intention on causing harm to the innocent like I do.
I got it in my sight,
These colors that feel so right!
Get your feet up off the ground,
And we'll keep on running!
Oh, I can feel it now,
The colors all around!
Just take my hand,
And we're gonna Reach for the Stars,
Just take a chance!
Adam: (Just take it man!)
We'll do it Right again!
Adam: (Oh I wanna-)
Adam and Aiden: Reach for the Stars!
Just take our hand,
Adam: (Take our Hands!)
We'll take a chance tonight!
Adam and Aiden: Reach for the Stars!
Tonight!
(Tonight...)
Once the music died down everyone cheered taking great interest in these two's vocal abilities. "That was awesome!", Delgado declared.
"Why'd it have to stop?", Dolly pouted.
Everyone in the crowd shouted compliments at the two. These two were practically showering with positivity.
"Dude you are amazing!", a random guy said.
"Thank you!", Aiden thanked.
"Can we have your autographs?", Another random guy asked.
"Oh sure.", Aiden answered.
"Can I have your babies?", some girl questioned.
"Uh...I'm not quite sure If I wanna answer that.", Aiden answered nervously chuckling.
-One the way home-
"Those two are so cool.", Delgado repeated. "I know I've been repeating myself for the last ten minutes, but I can't stop thinking about what we just witnessed."
"Yeah me too.", Dolly agreed. "What about you Aaron?"
"They're both impressive I'll give em that. Didn't quite expect Aaron to be into rock music.", I stated. "Maybe I was wrong about those two after all. There both completely shrouded in mystery though, and they don't seem that comfortable talking about their origins."
"Hey Aaron!"
The three of us turned around to see Aiden following behind us. Adam was not to far after him taking his sweet time. I had noticed the both of them carrying baskets filled with muffins, drinks, fruit, candy, and many other delectables.
Aiden handed me the basket he was holding and said, "I saw you three...in the crowd..., but forgot...to give you guys your gift baskets.", He said in between short breaths. Adam handed Dolly and Delgado baskets full of treats as well. "Also! Adam has something to tell you, Right Adam?"
Adam groaned in annoyance rolling his eyes, "I'm sorry if I was kinda shady towards you when we first arrived. I was just having a bad day.", He ranted not sharing any eye contact with me.
"Oh, it's no problem whatsoever. We've all been there before I'm not holding any grudges.", I joked. "Trust me, I should know."
"Do you two wanna meet our family?", Dolly asked them.
"Yeah!", Delgado agreed hoping they'd agree to the generous gesture.
"Sorry me and Adam here have to finish some school work, but tommorow we're free so we'd be glad to meet your family.", Aiden happily answered ruffling Delgado's fur on his head. "See ya next time. Come on Adam!"
We watched as their bodies got smaller and smaller as they both jogged their way home. "Aiden and Adam you two are forever a mystery.", I thought with interest. "Like me in every way possible. Aiden is like the laid back positive version of me while Adam is my edgy side. I wonder how Dad and everyone else will react to meeting these two?"
