TSP: Man, it's been a crap day.
Tai: What's the matter Stacy?
TSP: Oh, you know. Graduation, saying bye to friends, having a best friend hate you.
Joe: I'm sorry, Stac.
Biyo: Yeah, is there anything we can do?
TSP: Nah, it's ok.
Goma: Are you gonna be okay?
TSP: Yeah, I'll be fine. But, I do want every one to read my story.
Tai & Joe: Okay, you know we will!! :::kisses Stacy on cheek:::
TSP: Wow! I feel better! Well, who want to do the disclaimer?
Biyo: I do! I do!
TSP: Okay.
Goma: You said I could!
TSP: Okay, both of you can.
Biyo: Okay, me first. Stacy does not own Digimon, any of the characters, of songs in this fic.
Goma: She just owns Jacob and Eric. That's it.
TSP: Thanks guys. Well, enjoy Chapter III of The Powers Within.

The Powers Within
Chapter II

As Mimi and Eric walked back on stage, they heard m any catcalls.
"Ow! You go girl!"
"Yeah, shake it!"
"Damn! She's fine!"
"Uhhh......" Mimi said uncomfortably.
"Hey, back off. Don't make me come down there." Eric firmly stated.
"It's okay, Eric." Mimi said as she took his hand. "Well, Sora wasn't the only one that liked one of our friends. I did, too. But for me, it was, as Sora put it, the "Worry wart". Yes, boys and girls, I liked the nerd. While that was a while ago, I never forgot my precious Joe."
Joe was flabbergasted. "Huh?" **She liked me? Mimi? Wow......**
**What is going on here?** Tai thought. **Mimi liked Joe. First Sora, and now this. Am I in some parallel universe?**
**This was most unexpected.** Was all Izzy could think of.
"So, with a little of my help," Eric said as he put his arm around Mimi. "Mimi put her feelings into lyrics."
**That Eric had better back off.** Tai and Joe thought.
"So here's the first song I ever wrote. It's called 'I Wanna Be With You.' "
Every light, except for two blue spotlights went put. Eric picked up his guitar and started to play a cool, soft rhythm. Although Mimi's voice was no where near as strong as Sora's , it was very sweet and soothing.
"I try but I can't seen to get myself to think of
Anything, but you.
Your breath on my face, your warm gently kiss I taste
The truth, I taste the truth.
You're what I came here for,
So I won't ask for more.
I wanna be with you.
If only for the night,
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight.
I wanna be with you.
There's nothing more to say.
There's nothing more I want more than to feel this way.
I wanna be with you."
While Mimi sang the next verse, Tai thought **I can't believe this. Mimi didn't like me. ......... And neither did Sora. Man, I feel so...... betrayed.**
"How beautiful it is.
Just to be like this.
I wanna be with you.
If only for the night,
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight.
I wanna be with you.
There's nothing more to say,
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way.
I wanna be with you.
Oh, baby,
I can fight this fear when I'm older.
Drives me crazy.
But I try to.
So call my name,
And take my hand.
Can we make no wish?
Baby your command."
**Wow!** Joe thought. **I never knew Mimi had such strong feelings for me.**
"Oh, oh, oh,
I wanna be
I wanna be with you.
I wanna be with you, yeah.
I wanna be with you."
The song ended and the crowd (that wasn't making out with his/her b.f/g.f.) clapped and cheered.
"Thank you!" Mimi giggled.
Eric started saying something when Tai looked to the side of the stage where Sora left. He saw her and Jacob slowly dancing, even though there was no music.
**Gees! Would those two break up the love fest?** He bitterly thought.

The show continued for another hour.
"Now this next song is dedicated to every one who has ever had their heart broken. I just want you to know, I've been there. This one's called 'One For Sorrow'" Sora said as a fast paced song started to play. She started off singing.
"I wanted your love, but look what it's done to me.
All my dreams have come to nothing,
Who would have believed?
All the laughter that we shared would be a memory.
I can't account the tears you've caused me.
If I could have seen.
And do you ever think of me
And how we used to be?
(All singing)
Now I know you're somewhere else right now,
Loving someone else no doubt.
When I'm one for sorrow.
Ain't it too, too bad?
Are you breaking some one else's heart?
Cause you've taken my love where you are.
When I'm one for sorrow,
Ain't it too, too bad about us?"
Sora and Jacob and Mimi and Eric started dancing a well rehearsed dance full of twists, turns, hops, spins, and really, REALLY close contact. Then Mimi started to sing.
"I wanted your love, but I got uncertainty.
I tried so hard to understand you.
All the good it did me.
Now the places that we knew, remind me of how we were.
Everything is just the same.
All I feel is hurt."
(Sora) "And do you ever think of me?
And how we used to be?"
They repeated the chorus and the complicated dance steps.
**Who on earth would hurt my dear, sweet Sora?** Matt wondered.
**Who in their right mind would do that to her?** Izzy thought.
**Who do I have to kill?** Was all Tai could think of.
The song ended and the crowd cheered once again.
"Thank you!" Eric said.
"We love you all!" Mimi said as they both walked off stage.
"Okay, now this is our second to last song, so enjoy it! It's one that Sora and I wrote together. It's our favorite song." Jacob said as Sora pulled him very close to her.
"And we want to share it with you with a very special message. If love ever finds you, don't let it get away. Because 'Nobody Wants To Be Lonely'. "
A medium paced, Latin pop song started with Jacob singing first.
"There you are,
In a darkened room.
And you're all alone,
Staring out the window.
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love.
Like a broken arrow.
Here I stand in the shadows. (In the shadows.)
Run to me, come to me.
(Both) Can't you see that,
Nobody wants to be lonely,
Nobody wants to cry?
My body's longing to hold you,
So bad it hurts inside.
Time is precious and it's slipping away.
And I've been waiting for you all of my life.
Nobody wants to be lonely,
(Jacob) So why? (Why?)
Why don't you let me love you?"
All the while they were singing, the pair was dancing very close and getting all touchy feely. Until Sora broke away to sing her part. Se took off her glasses to sing. For the first time in seven years, Tai saw Sora's crimson eyes. They were beyond beautiful and Tai felt like he found something he had lost long ago.
"Do you hear my voice?
Do you hear my soul?
It's a serenade,
So your heart can find me, oh.
And suddenly you're flying down the stairs!
Into my arms waiting."
"Before I start going crazy, (Going crazy.)
Run to me!"
"Run to me!"
(Both)"Cause I'm dyeing!
Nobody wants to be lonely.
Nobody wants to cry.
My body's wanting to hold you,
So bad it hurts inside.
Time is precious and it's slipping away.
And I've been waiting for you all of my life.
Nobody wants to be lonely."
(Jacob)"So why."
"Why don't you let me love you?"
"I wanna feel you near me (Near me.)
Just like the air you breathe. (Breathing.)
"I need you here in my life."
Don't walk away. (Don't walk away.)
Don't walk away, walk away. Oh, no. (No, no ,no, no, no.)"
(Sora) "Nobody want to be lonely."
(Sora) "Nobody wants to cry! Cry, cry!"
As they continued the song continued with the chorus, Jacob hugged Sora around the waist and pulled her close. From the look on her face, she had no problem with this.
"Nobody wants to be lonely.
So why, why don't you let me love you?"
They both ended the song. The crowd, of course, cheered.
"Thank you!" Jacob said.
"Now, let's get Eric and Mimi back up here for our last song." Sora said.

Tai: You feeling better, Stacy?
TSP: Oh yeah, a lot better.
Joe: Oh really, why's that?
TSP: I might see Jacob tonight!!
Biyo: Oh really Stacy?
