To Hold You In My Arms
Before I start, Dixiechick 0 wanted to know something. In the first chapter, Li had a crush on Jessica. He didn't realize his true feelings until during the battle. I hope that clears things up for ya ^_^
Part III: The Beginning of a Lifelong Relationship
Concert Night
Li cleared his throat as he stepped up to the microphone. "I'd like to dedicate this song to the emerald-eyed beauty that sets my heart racing every time I look at her. The girl who's stood beside me for a while, and whom I've been in love with since the 5th grade." At this, Jessica started smiling warmly. Li wanted to puke. Oh god. She thinks I mean HER!!! Oh my god. What an idiot! "She helped me through one of my toughest battles, and it was not with another student. Anyone who was at my school during the 5th grade should remember the attack we had. *sigh* Sakura Avalon, this one's for you." Sakura's breath nearly caught in her throat when she heard this. Li stepped back.
Li starts jamming at the guitar, with Eriol right behind him
Revving up your engines,
Listen to 'em howl and roar
Revvin up your engines,
Get it up to fast and go
Highway to the danger zone,
Gonna take you ridin through the danger zone
Headin in the twilight
Spreadin out our wings tonight
She's got ya jumpin off the edge,
Shovin into over-drive
Highway to the danger zone,
Rake ya ridin through the danger zone
Never say hello to you
'till you get it all ready I go alone,
you never know what you can do
until you get it up,
oh, you gotta go
Eriol pulls in front, and goes into a solo
Everyone pulls back in
Power on the engines,
Always were a bird to be
Further on the edge,
Hotter the intensity
(Chorus Repeat 3x)
(BTW, if anyone has ever seen the movie Top Gun, when mav is riding on his motorcycle to the academy, the music is playing in the background.)
"OH MY GOD, Boy's Nation has surpassed the highest levels of cheering set by a band on this stage, judging from the sound level. Very well done boys. And now, Girl's Reality!"
Sakura's group walks out onto the stage.
Sakura walks up to the mike, while everyone gets set, with Madison at the keyboard, Chelsea at the drums, and Nikki gunning the bass.
Backstage
Li had had a bad feeling when he saw Ryan snickering by the stereo. And when he checked in there, his fears were confirmed. There was no tape, and the song they were playing needed a guitar part. Li sighed, then walked over to his guitar, and plugged it into the amp.
Center Stage
Sakura took the mike into her hands. "Well people, I also have a dedication to make. Li Shoran, I loved you since I laid my eyes on you, so please accept this song as what you mean to me."
Madison starts the song off with a keyboard solo
After a few seconds, the others (including Li) join in
Here we stand,
Worlds apart hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights,
Losing ground, I'm reachin for you
Feelin that its gone, can change your mind
If we can't go ooooon, to survive the tide, love diviiiiiiiiiiiiiides
Someday, love will find you,
Break those, chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If she, ever hurts you,
True love, won't desert you
You know, I still love you,
Though we touched and went our separate ways
Troubled times,
Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes,
Promises we made we in vain, in vaiiiiiin, in vain
If you must goooo, I wish you love
You'll never walk aloooooooooone
Take care my love, miss you love
Someday, love will find you
Break those, chains that bind you,
One night, will remind you,
How we touched and went our separate ways
If she, ever hurts you,
True love, won't desert you,
You know, I still love you,
Though we touched and went our separate ways
A guitar solo, and Li adds a little twist
Oooooooooooooooooooh
Some day, love will find you,
Break those, chains that bind you,
One night, will remind you
If she, ever hurts you,
True love, won't desert you
You know, I still love you
I still love you, boy
I really love ya, boy
And if she ever hurts you,
True love won't desert you
Nooooooooooooooooo
Nooooooooooooooooo
(BTW, that was a modified version of Journey's Separate Ways)
The crowds screamed, and the announcer came out. "Well, we'll have to hold a co-operation tie-breaker. We'll have the top two teams pick a song, and see how they work. If one team works better with the other than the other with them, the team wins. So, let's see what they have decided.
Backstage
"Hmm. What song? OH!!! I know!" Li said, jumping in the air. He turned to everyone. "Since its been an emotional rollercoaster for me and Sakura, let's do Ozzy Osborne's Crazy Train." Everyone decided to do it (frankly, there were no other ideas).
They set up, everyone in the same positions they were in last time, except Madison, who gunned a third base.
Alll abooooard
*maniacal laughter*
Li busts out with the guitar, followed by Eriol
Crazy, but that's how it gooooes,
Millions of people,
Living as foes,
Maybe, it's not too laaaate
To learn how to loove, and forget how to haaaaaaaaate
There's a wound not healing,
Lights have been too scathed
I'm goin off the rails on a crazy train,
I'm goin off the rails on a crazy train
Lets go!
I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools,
I've listened to dropouts, who make their own rules
One personal decision, to loot or to throw,
One minute declassing, and you leave the road
There's a wound, still screaming,
Driving me insane
I'm goin off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are goin wrong for me
You've gotta listen to my voice,
Yyyyyeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Eriol steals the guitar solo, and Li plays backup
Dances with cobalts(?), that's what we've been called
It happens in troubles, I need to leave now
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with Sandy, that just isn't fair
There's a wound, not healing,
Who and what's to blame,
I'm goin off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin off the rails, on a crazy train
(okay people, I know that was VERY screwed up, but some of the lyrics I couldn't understand, so if you noticed any screwups, other than the one I marked, please let me know)
Later that night, Li and Sakura sat under a tree in Reedington Park, gazing at the stars. Then, Li took Sakura into his arms, and passionately kissed her. And they stayed like that for a good deal of the night.
HEY, I'M ALMOST DONE. I JUST GOTTA DO THE EPILOGUE, AND IM THROUGH (for now, so when my next fic comes, everybody run ^_^)
The epilogue will be done very shortly. So, please wait until then. And keep the reviews comin.
