Stand Out

Queen Minnie sighed as she looked at an image of her King. How she missed him, and more importantly how worried she was about him. There had been no update since he had left about him personally. All she knew were the stories about the boy named Sora. How he had been going out into the wider worlds with Donald and Goofy, exploring various worlds and taking down the enemy threat simply known as the Heartless.

The last few months had been quite a strange set of events. First with the disappearance of the King, and then with the emergence of Sora, a child who apparently was going to be the one who was supposed to save them all from a strange threat Scrooge had reported to be called The Heartless. Together, Donald and Goofy went to various worlds and were fighting against these evils.

However for the last few weeks there had been no word from them either. Not even the head of S.H.U.S.H, Disneyland's top spy agency knew anything at this point.

"I'm sorry ma'am" Scrooge McDuck, S.H.U.S.H's latest director sighed, "I wish I had answers but I don't"

Queen Minne sighed, she had summoned Scrooge McDuck and Agent 22 aka in hopes of finding out something. A third interloper was here as well, Scrooge's CFO and head of all finances Bradford Buzzard. A stingy miserly vulture, he seemed to be the most cynical about everything happening at the moment.

It was hard to keep peace in the Kingdom. The King's absence was something that had been kept on the law for a while. Scrooge, Beakly and her other allies had been doing their best to keep local threats like the Beagle Boys and Magica DeSpell in check. One of which had gone missing since they were once working with Maleficent. However it was becoming harder and harder to make this a secret and if things were getting out then that would be the perfect opportunity for other forces of evil to rise up and take their chance of brining chaos to the kingdom.

"Your majesty, with all due respect as a businessman, I say give up this strange venture and continue with the process of governing" Bradford said in a condescending manner.

"Don't talk to the Queen like that" Daisy, her lady in waiting scolded.

Queen Minnie smiled, Daisy always had her back no matter what, but she couldn't allow herself to show too much emotion, "Now thank you for your concern, but we can't give up for looking for the King or Sora, Donald or Goofy, we have to know if they succeeded in there quest or not"

"Apologies your majesty, but I just want to remain a realist is all"

Queen Minnie nodded but remained stoic, "Scrooge, Beakly, your thoughts"

Both looked at each other with uncertainty.

Just as the Queen had feared, it wasn't good...She wondered how Donald and Goofy were, fearing for both them, and their families.

Sleeping was something Max Goofy was good at, even when he was a baby he loved to nap. As a teen now, he could just sleep on his bed for hours on end and not do anything. It was even easier now when he had a nice room at Disney Castle that was all his own, with a nice comfy bed and lots of space for his stuff and skateboard and gamer station. Yet despite all that the young goof coudn't sleep, his mind was so fixated on everything going on. Knowing that out there, his dad was traveling the multiverse, and wasn't with him.

As he slept his mind started to think of his dad. All the letters he wrote to him about the Heartless, dangers, adventures, everything. Some of what Max dreamed was cool. Dad used his shield to take down baddies, fighting monsters, and defending the kingdom. Yet his mind also turned to dark thoughts. Those dark forces overwhelmed his father and the so called Keyblade Master, a mere boy named Sora, unable to defend him.

"D-D-Dad!" Max blinked as his eyes opened, another dream. He took a deep breath as he began to relax again lowering his head in exhaustion as he let out a loud yawn.

Max woke up with a slight headache and the sounds of purring coming near his stomach. Opening his eyes he got up to see his pet cat Waffles sleeping peacefully on top of him. Smiling he gently began to pet him behind the ears, getting a soft meow as he looked outside to see the sun rise from his window. Looking at the calendar he checked to see what day it was and frowned.

Each time he looked, more and more time would pass that his dad had gone. Off on some grand adventure with a kid around his age. Even after their last communication there was no word from him or the others.

The nightmares have been going on now for the last couple of weeks. Although it had been several months since his dad left to go off and save the universe from the forces of darkness, it had been weeks since he last heard from him. Normally knowing that his father was okay and alive kept his mind at ease, even if he was still unsure about the new companion Sora he was keeping. But that had been weeks ago. Now, now there was only silence. Thus the idea of what had happened to his father kept pestering at his mind, constantly gnawing at him over and over again.

Suddenly Max felt something press against his cheek, only to find Waffles had woken up and pressed his paw against him.

Max smiled, "Hey Waffles, morning...yeah, yeah I'm fine…" He gently patted his hand.

Waffles didn't seem convinced and frowned.

"Yeah, I miss him too." Max sighed as he got out of bed, feeling a bit weak at the knees from the morning "But like he said, he's doing this to protect us, I gotta believe that he'll be back one day. In the meantime, I gotta make him proud of me".

Waffles meowed giving a brief smile that warmed his heart a bit. It was good that his cat had been a good constant companion these last few months since his dad had left.

"Yeah, yeah, I know he's always proud, but I want to make him proud of me for something worth it" Max went to get dressed as he headed to the bathroom passing a few pictures of him and his father.

The two of them didn't always see eye to eye all the time, but Max still loved his father very much. Since his mother died it was always just the two of them, and Waffles of course. Goofy would always try his best to be the best parent he could, and for that Max would always appreciate him even while being Captain of the Kingsguard. Though as he got older Max wanted to prove that he could be just as great a knight as his dad. To go on adventures with him, and see the words. Like Sora was doing with him.

There was a brief fit of annoyance as Max thought about that name but he quickly tried to get rid of it. Wasn't necessarily Sora's fault that his dad was in this situation. Still, it was a reason, it was a link. One

that he didn't necessarily enjoy or like. I mean he was the same age as the so called "Hero of the Keyblade" yet he had to stay behind at Disney Castle and not be by his dad's side going on an adventure, saving the world. Maybe making a good impression on a special someone.

Max shook his head and decided to not let that get him down, "Nope, gotta stay strong, I can still make dad proud ...Somehow".

Waffles meowed again leaning back down as they went back to sleep.

Max just gave a small snicker as he continued to pet his cast head, "Heh, I know, trailer park to Castle, what an upgrade" he said sarcastically.

His life had definitely gone through the ringer. Living with his dad at the whole trailer park in the middle of a town. Then finally to Spoonerville when his dad got his elementary school diploma. Then through several strange and intricate events that even he wasn't sure of, his dad became a royal guard. That day was probably the proudest Max had ever been of his dad. Despite never admitting it though, he was always proud of him. Even when he was a full angsty teen and wanted to be alone. To Max his dad was the most important person in his life.

It was one of the reasons why he was trying right now to be a good squire, just like his dad. To prove himself to Queen Minnie and now Scrooge McDuck that he was worth something. That he could be part of the mission and help out. Maybe even join Sora and his dad and save the universe. The last few months have been quite harrowing for the young Goof. Always thinking of his dad's safety, hoping that he would get back home soon.

Perhaps some music would due to the trick, putting in a tape he blasted it up to full. Thankfully the walls of Disney Castle were actually quite hollow and it made it hard for other people to hear. While listening to his favorite song, he readied himself for another day.

Open up your eyes take a look at me

If the picture fits in your memory

I've been dreamin by the rhythm like the beat of a heart

And I won't stop until I start to stand out

Some people settle for the typical thing

Livin' all their lives waitin' in the wings

It ain't a question of 'if', just a matter of time

Before I move to the front of the line

And once you're watchin' ev'ry move that I make

Ya gotta believe that I got what it takes

To stand out

Above the crowd

Even if I gotta shout out loud

'Til mine is the only face you see

Gonna stand out 'til you notice me

-000-

Fully dressed, Cat fed and ready to begin the day he headed out of his personal room and through the grand halls of the Castle to begin his day. They were so big that he was able to skateboard his way through them. Even managing to perform a few tricks along the way. He accidentally ran into a few members of the Castle court. He was always a bit reckless. Either way he was going to make it his day. He was going to stand out.

This was going to be a good day.

"I'm here!" Max stated as he entered the Queens private study stumbling inside before standing straight to give a firm salute, "Squire Max Goof reporting for duty...Ma'am".

Taking a moment to realize what was going on, he just interrupted what seemed to be a meeting between Queen Minnie and Scrooge McDuck. Both seemed to be tense before seeing Max giving him an awkward look.

The Queen was sitting at her desk in the grand study, a whole bunch of books on shelves surrounded her. She was mostly here these days signing papers or just thinking. Most of the time having a picture of the king nearby just in case. Max always felt sad for her, the two of them were in the same boat, the people they loved were both missing at the moment.

"Um, sorry" Max said, cheeks turning red, standing back at attention "I'll just...I'll just stand here" slowly he began to take a step back

Minnie sighed before sitting down, "Max, good to see you as always". She said, she sounded tired. Max didn't blame her, she too had lost someone very important to her. King Mickey himself

"Ma'am" Max nodded giving a small but polite bow

Scrooge rolled his eyes, prefering to continue on "Close the door, we are having a meeting here. Don't want half the bloody castle to hear us now do yuh".

"Oh sorry," Max slammed the door shut and stood right in front of him, Scrooge returned back to face the Queen.

Ever since Scrooge returned, little to no news about his father or Sora's whereabouts have been given. Max started to wonder if his dad was okay. The last time he talked to him he had managed to talk to Sora. Then and there he had gotten the kid to promise to take care of his dad. A big ask, but one he needed to hear. If this Sora was the great all powerful Keyblade Wielder that everyone said he was then he was obligated to protect his father as well as the rest of the universe.

Things had been tense for the last few weeks at Disney Castle since his father had given them the last report he gave. Going after Xehanort, going into one final battle to save the universe. Clearly they must have won otherwise he probably would be standing here right now. Though still people were nervous, not hearing back from them or the King. Many rumors were spreading that perhaps they had all died in that final battle against the evil Keyblade Master. Others expected the worst. Max tried to keep his faith, he could feel that his father was not lost. He was out there somewhere lost in the universe, he just needed to find him. Hence why he was hoping to prove himself to the Queen so that maybe just maybe he would get sent on a very important mission.

"Look, we haven't heard from them or the King in weeks now" Scrooge slammed his hand on the table, noticing that the Queen expression began to look sad, taking a moment he took a deep breath before continuing "My point is your majesty, we need to start thinking about what to do as a contingency. Even if Xehanort and Maleficent were defeated doesn't mean there are other evils out there that aren't going to want to take advantage of the situation...Fill the void".

"Perhaps" Minnie sighed, her expression deep in thought "But as you said, worlds have been restored, Sora must have succeeded in defeating Maleficent and the Heartless right"

"But at what cost?" Scrooge said with a hint of remorse, "Remember it wasn't just Maleficent at the end of the day who was behind all of this. A fellow Keyblade Wielder named Xehanort was the real puppet master pulling the strings, and he seemed pretty powerful"

Max felt a lump in his throat form, "D-Dad?" no, he couldn't think such things, his dad was alive, he knew it. He had to believe.

"Look, I too deep down believe that the King is out there, I want too as well, he and I have been through much together, one of my best partners" Scrooge said taking a deep breath, "but um...Personal experience has taught me that sometimes people don't always come back when they go missing"

At this Max's heart sank, could his dad really be lost forever.

Minnie nodded, "I remember, but still we have to have some faith right? It's honestly the only thing we have"

"Ma-am" He interrupted, the room going absolute silent again "Perhaps, perhaps maybe we should go look for them, find a sign"

"Sign" Scrooge scoffed looking at Max like he was an idiot, "Sadly the only sign we have is that the Gummi Ship came back with Chip and Dale, that's about it, there are billions of worlds out there, and quite frankly we aren't even allowed to interfere and…."

He stopped as he saw the Queen give Scrooge a disapproving look. Turning back to Max, he frowned and let out a deep sigh before walking up to the boy, his voice and demeanor far calmer than previously.

"Look son" Scrooge put a hand on his shoulder, "Point is we don't know where your pop is or if he's out there, I have spies in Traverse Town but that's about it right now. I can only do so much with what limited information I have. We can only hope that they survived there battles against the darkness and they won"

Max lip quivered but he nodded, "I-I understand , sorry for the outburst"

"It's alright Max," Queen Minnie stated, "I know more than most what you are going through, not a day goes by that I don't think of the King"

Scrooge took the Queen's hand and gave her a small smile. "I'm sure you miss him very much Ma'am, we all do"

Max took a deep breath trying not to let his emotions get the best of him. His father would want him to remain strong right now. There was no point in getting emotional about things. He needed to make his dad proud. Still he couldn't understand why no one would just trust him. It was so frustrating sometimes, he just wanted too, he just wanted to yell. Of course he held that in since he was right in front of the Queen's study and he knew that wouldn't but still it was hard too…

"Max..."

Max turned round and to his shock saw Queen Minnie exiting her study and standing right in front of him.

"You're majesty!" Max stood at attention, nervous, "W-What do, do you require anything?"

She shook her head, "No I just wanted to check on you"

"Me?" Max looked confused, "Oh I'm fine your majesty, A-O-K"

"Max, you and I both know that's probably a lie"

Max sighed, "Obvious"

Queen Minnie nodded, "You and I are in the same boat, as they say. I know what your going through, granted your feelings toward your father are different from those of my Mickey, but still, it's both a close loved one"

"I know, it's just, why can't I do more" Max said looking unsure, "Sora's my age, he gets to save the world, why not me. I mean come on, I can help can't I, I can do something right? I might be 'trained' or 'a expert' but Sora didn't sound like it from any of dad letters, if anything he seemed to learning on the job"

"He has a Keyblade" Queen Minnie reminded him, "You don't, he has a extra boast, you need training to make up for the lack of magic"

"Still, not everyone needs to save the world with a Keyblade, my dad and Donald don't-"

"Yet they have the proper training and experience" Queen Minnie said a bit sterner yet she calmed, "However I do see a point, staying here won't get it, but it has to b the right time"

Max sighed and nodded, "Yeah, the right time"

Still, when will that time come

-000-

Queen Minnie watched Max leave the room and sighed. She knew that the poor boy had been dealing with a lot since his father had left to go on an adventure with a stranger. It must have been tough. The two had been getting along so well for quite some time now. Though it seems these days everyone had a sense of loss here at Disney castle. Poor boy also just wanted to make his papa proud, a noble gesture.

"Your majesty" Scrooge interrupted the Queen from her thoughts, "Look, as I said there is no word from the King or our heroes, but I think since we haven't been decimated by darkness we may have won...But at a cost"

The Queen frowned, "I-I'm not ready to believe that just yet"

"Well at least we can move on to new business" Bradford muttered.

Daisy frowned, "Why is he even here anyway"

"Bradford is taking more and more of my responsibilities at McDuck Enterprises as I become director of S.H.U.S.H, plus I may need him to monitor our agencies resources, he's a excellent money man...more stingy than my"

"I pride myself for bringing order to the chaos" Bradford said with pride.

"Yes, well...We do have other business to take care of" Scrooge took out a briefcase and put it on the desk, various papers flying out, showing them to her, "As you know Hollow Bastion has been liberated by the Heartless. It is my wish as both a venture capitalist and director of S.H.U.S.H to have good relationships with this new world. Especially considering we did help Leon and the other Anti-Heartless resistance, I want to have close ties remain. So I want to invest in Hollow Bastion and help rebuild"

"And despite my misgivings I do think it could make us quite the profit if done well" Bradford eyes narrowed, "And on the cheap"

"Cheap, hardly, I want the essentials, but we need to go Hollow Bastion in order to assure this and I want to know if I have the Queens full support in this matter"

Queen Minnie looked over the plans for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I am more than willing to give aid and support to this venture"

"Not just aid, but investment" Bradford replied, "Plus it will allow McDuck enterprises and S.H.U.S.H a foothold in this world"

Beaky frowned, "A bit callous, but I suppose that is what spying is all about"

"And give us good relations with Hollow Bastion as they rebuild" Scrooge added.

"Do we have your approval, your highness?" Bradford asked.

Queen Minnie nodded, "Yes...On one condition"

"Okay?" Scrooge raised a eyebrow, "And that would be"

"Bring one person along"

Afternoon came and that meant training.

Training was the one thing Max loved to do apart from skateboarding. It allowed him to get his mind off things and relax in his own way. While going through the Castle grounds he found a nice open spot to train. Normally he would train with his dad, but lately he had to do so on his own. This though did allow for fewer accidents to happen as Goofy had a habit of being incredibly clumsy with his work.

Though as he tried to train his mind went to his dad, he began to feel sad, and then it went to Sora and then he began to feel mad. Mad at a boy his own age who took his father away from him. Mad that he wasn't able to go with his own father, mad that this boy broke a promise and wasn't able to protect him.

"Stupid kid….He said he was going to keep dad safe, well were is he huh" Max said his mind starting to have images of Sora and his dad enjoying time and laughing together, "He gets to be with dad and I'm stuck here, he's my dad...Not yours"

His movements got angier and more fierce.

"Of course he doesn't have a dad ...Well, he can't take mine, that's for sure" Max grinded his teeth "He promised to keep my dad safe...He said he would...".

Unaware of his own movements Max thrust his arm forward so fast that he tripped over himself causing him to land face flat on the grass.

"Ouch," Max muttered, holding his hand as it seethed in pain.

Max laid on the ground groaning for a few moments before a shadow came over him. It took awhile for him to regain his focus but the shadow was large and mountainous. Once things started to come back into focus, he began to take sign of a familiar and welcoming friend.

"Hey Max," The familiar voice caused him flinch before turning around to see a familiar looking fat cat with blue t-shirt that barely fit over him, "Wooh easy bro, it's just me"

"Hey Peej" Max said, his tone still dour., "Sorry about that, guess I'm a bit on edge with the training".

"Don't worry"

Max swung his sword again only to flop on the ground, "Hope you didn't see that" he grunted as he began to get up.

"I did," P.J muttered.

Max sighed, "Great, just great...Well, better get back to it"

"Feeling down?"

"How did you guess?" Max muttered, chuckling ironically, "What are you doing here?"

"Mom says I need to do community service in order to restore our family name, so she arranged for me to do stuff here".

"Because of your dad working for Maleficent"

"Yep"

Max smirked, "Harsh"

"You're telling me, you know how much work I gotta do, walking, running ,having to get out of bed...I have to get out of bed Max!"

"Yeesh dude, you aren't that lazy are yuh". Max smirked, finding his friend's nature humorous. They had been buddies since they were young, so he was used to Pete Jrs. lazy demeanor.

Peej sound, "Wish my dad hadn't joined up with the bad guys so I wouldn't be doing this crud. Granted mom said this was probably the most he's ever put his mind too since he decided to go with that water proof car scam".

"Oh yeah," Max snorted, "I remember dad buying one, boy I still don't know what he saw in him, no offense"

"None taken".

The two just laughed and gave each other a hug.

Max and Pete Jr had been friends since he had moved to Spoonerville, and despite their fathers very different demeanors the two kids seemed to really get along. He wasn't sure just how or why but the two just seemed to click. Max was the brain while Peej was the soul. Together the two of them had gotten into several adventures and shenaggins together over their vast amounts of time together. If it wasn't for his friends' support, Max honestly would have no idea how he'd make it with his dad's absence.

For that part Max tried his best to be a good friend for his pal. Always being there when needed, and hanging out at the Pete household for a while. In fact he spent time there just to be close to his old house when he wasn't at Disney Castle all the time. It was nice to get a distraction. , Peg, who was an old friend of Goofy when they were on the cheerleading squad together, was always kind and considerate to him. Almost a second mother figure. The family was nice, and thus Max had always wanted to try and cheer them up best he could.

At least it felt like was doing something useful with himself instead of moping around all the time.

"So how are you hanging Max?" Peej asked, his tone becoming solf now, as he looked concerned for his friend.

Max just frowned sitting down at one of the shrubs to rest, "I don't know Peej, I'm just...I feel frustrated"

"I hear yuh" Peej groaned.

"No, not that way," Max muttered shaking his head, "It's just...My dad is out there and I feel like we've given up on him. You know I made Sora promise to take care of him. He's the Keyblade wielder after all, isn't that like...His JOB or something".

"I don't know is it?" Peej shrugged.

"Yeah it is, as far as I'm concerned, if everyone is calling him a hero then he better act like one" Max clenched his fist and scowled a bit, "As far as I'm concerned my dad's life is in his hands so if anything happens to him it's his fault"

Peej looked concerned, "Gee dude, never seen you this mad at someone before. I don't know if I like it"

"Ugh-" Max groaned rubbing his head, these emotions were killing him, pacing back and forth he tried to calm himself, breathing deeply "Yeah I know, I know it's important I'm not saying it's not. My dad is saving the universe after all. Still….It just, it just doesn't seem fair".

There was a moment of silence.

Max didn't like the idea of being mad at someone he never knew before. It wasn't like him to be that angry. Still, everyone and anyone he ever met talked about Sora. Always Sora and Sora that, it was always about him. It wasn't even a jealousy thing, at least not completely. It was the fact that some kids around his age was

"Sorry buddy" Peej said.

"Thanks man" Max said, taking a breath, "I just-I just wanna make my dad proud".

"Maybe you can lad," Max looked up to see Scrooge arrive with in toe, "Max, I think it's time you leave the Castle and come with me on a wee trip"

"Wait, you mean...of the world" Max perked up looking excited, "Really! Oh , it's an honor, a privilege, a-"

"Yes, yes las...Hold your horses," Scrooge calmed him down, "Don't lose your head"

Beakly groaned, "Are you sure bringing him along is a good idea"

"I'm bringing Webby along" Scrooge said matter of factly, "Besides, I bring the boys on adventures all the time, perhaps it is time we give this young lass a chance, better than sitting around a stuffy old castle all day"

"You really only bring Webby along because I'm busy on another assignment and need someone to take care of her" Beakly said looking annoyed, "Plus she has the proper training he has not"

Scrooge rolled his eyes, "Don't remind me, anyway, Max, I'll be traveling on a quasi business venture, however it does detail and I think you might be happy to where we are going"

"Where?"

-000-

"Hollow Bastion! I get to go to Hollow Bastion Peej!" Max said as he started packing his stuff, "So what should I take, sword or shield, maybe both?"

After hearing the news Max immediately went back to his room and started packing. Webby and Peej followed him, both a bit nervous by his new found enthusiasm. He didn't care though, this was his chance, finally a way to do something. Get out of this world and maybe start making a difference. He didn't know what exactly but the fact he was going to do something was good enough for him at the moment.

Already plans for how he was going to impress Scrooge during the trip started dashing through his mind. He was going to have to be extra careful, but if he got this right, it could mean big things for him moving forward. Maybe they would actually let him in on all the big conversation, or perhaps let him go for the search for his dad.

He tried packing as many things as possible. If he was going on a trip this was gonna be his first real chance to prove himself. This could not go down without a hitch.

"Good thing my mom didn't get invited" Peej sighed, "Otherwise she'd probably give my dad the what for"

"Tell me again why there still legally married"

"Money reasons"

"Ah…"

"I say shield" Webby said, going through a list of various weapons "You seem to be better with it that the sword to be honest"

Max nodded, "Good point, dad taught me more with a shield than a sword, granted no one trusted him with a sword...To much risk of someone losing a eye"

"Ouch!"

"Yeah, no one wanted that"

Peej and Webby just watched, sitting on Max's bed as he started pacing around the room. He was frantic, excited, nervous, so many mixed emotions all mixed together. Still he was going to Hollow Bastion, the last place his dad was before he vanished. This could be his chance to maybe, just maybe get some answers.

He didn't want to blow, he couldn't blow it, not with coming with them.

"Calm down Max, you look like your going to burst" Peej said sounding worried, "Heck I should be the one more nervous, Hollow Bastions is where my dad is locked up, what if I run into him...Oh man, oh man...Is he gonna be sore, Mom is already furious as it is. While Pistol is...Well, Pistol"

"It'll be fine Peej, we won't be near that place" Max rolled his eyes, "And sorry, but I can't help it, this is Hollow Bastion! I couldn't go with when Webby and and others liberated it, now I might have to chance to make a difference"

"But Hollow Bastion was already saved," Webby reminded him, "Not like you have much to do, unless you wanna help rebuild"

"Well maybe I'll do that" Max said, "Anything to make myself useful these days".

"Yeah, maybe you'll save the world too" Peej said getting up, "Imagine you, the big hero that saves the day in the end"

"Yeah, the big hero"

Max could just imagine it now, maybe he'd get his own keyblade. He'd fight bad guys, save his dad, save the world. Heck maybe people will one day speak his legend instead of Sora. Now that would definitely be something cool. No matter though, he would make a difference, actually helping, living up to what his dad's example.

"Max," Webby waved a hand over his face as he day dream, "Max? Max?"

Max, Max, Max, he heard the chants of people.

"Yeah ...Yeah! I'm gonna do this" Max said standing strong, "I'm going to make this my chance, finally gonna stand out...Stand out above the crowd"

All I need is half a chance, a second thought, a second glance'll prove

I got whatever it takes

It's a piece of cake

To stand out

Above the crowd

Even if I gotta shout out loud

'Til mine is the only face you see

Gonna stand out

Stand out, hey

Stand out!

(Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Stand out!

(Hmph!)

'Til mine's the only face you see

Gonna stand out

'Til you notice me
