Chapter 8- Red Hearts for Red Cross: Time To Sing
Serena, Lita, Amy, Mina and Raye were nervously waiting for their cue to come on stage. All five were wearing black jeans that flared and assorted red tops. Serena fingered the collar of her red, tummy showing tank top while nervously inspecting her nails, which were covered in clear nail polish.
"Make your way to the stage, please," came the deep voice of one of the crew.
All five nodded to each other and left for the stage. When they arrived, the previous performer was just leaving the stage.
"Okay. Ladies and gentleman," came the MC's deep voice, "The performance you've all been waiting for. Please welcome Serena, Lita, Amy, Mina and Raye from…SpiC!"
There was a deafening burst of applause as the girls smiled and waved while walking on stage.
"And also welcome Darien, Ken, Greg, Andrew and Chad from…" the MC continued, "X5!"
Darien, Ken, Greg, Andrew and Chad entered the stage holding…roses? The girls were shocked. The guys came and kissed their partner on the cheek and handed over the flowers. Each girl smiled sweetly at their partner and smelt the roses. Soon, five girls came on stage to take the roses and gave each person a microphone. Mina and Andrew turned and walked towards the drum kits, while Raye and Chad picked up their bass guitars and Lita and Ken picked up their electric guitars. Amy picked up her flute as Greg stood behind the electric piano.
"Our first song," Serena started.
"Is called My Only Love," said Darien, sneaking a glance at Serena.
The slow and soft music started.
Serena-
Deep in my soul
Love so strong
It takes control
Darien-
Now we both know
The secrets barred
The feelings show
Serena and Darien both turn to face each other.
Darien-
Driven fall apart
I make a wish
On a shooting star
Serena-
There will come a day
Somewhere faraway
In your arms I'll stay
My only love
All-
Even though you're gone
Love will still live on
The feeling is so strong
My only love
Darien and Serena stood closer together, microphones nearly touching.
Darien and Serena-
My only love
An instrumental was played by the eight others as Darien and Serena separated and went to wave to the audience. They came back to each other to begin singing.
Darien-
There will come a day
Somewhere faraway
Serena-
In your arms I'll stay
My only love
They walked side by side, towards the audience.
All-
You've reached the deepest part
Of the secret in my heart
I've known it from the start
My only love
They turn their head towards each other.
Darien-
There will come a day
Somewhere faraway
Serena-
In your arms I'll stay
My only love
They faced the audience again.
All-
You've reached the deepest part
Of the secret in my heart
I've known it from the start
My only love
Darien and Serena stood closer to each other than before.
Darien and Serena-
My only love
The music slowly ended and applause erupted from the audience. Darien and Serena stepped apart, grinning happily like the other eight who were enjoying themselves immensely.
As the applause quieted down, music softly started. Serena walked to the left-hand side of the stage while Darien went right. They stood to facing diagonally, half towards the audience, half towards each other.
Serena-
We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
Darien (going along with the words, like looking confused)-
No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
Darien and Serena-
This is the start
All-
|
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin' Serena and Darien slowly made their way to each other.
We were strangers, on a crazy adventure Darien- Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true Serena and Darien- Now here we stand, unafraid of the future And life is a road and I wanna keep goin' Knew there was somebody somewhere And life is a road and I wanna keep goin' Serena and Darien became closer and closer, lost in the words of the song.
Life is a road and I wanna keep goin' Serena- Starting out on a journey They finally reached each other. Again standing close. Darien and Serena- |
The music ended and again there was a loud burst of clapping from the audience. Everyone was still smiling as well. Quickly, Serena and Darien sneaked off the stage to get into their costumes. When they were ready, they went to opposite sides of the stage. The whole room was dark. Then a spotlight went onto Darien, who was wearing a black tuxedo.
Darien-
"Love is a many splendid thing"
Serena wearing a long red dress that waved at the back-
"What?"
Darien-
"Love lifts us up where we belong
All you need is love"
Serena-
"Please don't start that again"
Darien-
All you need is love
Serena-
"A girl has got to eat"
Darien-
All you need is love
Serena-
"Or she'll end up on the street"
Darien
All you need is lo…o…o…ove
Serena-
Love is just a game
Darien-
I was meant for loving you baby
And you were meant for loving me
Serena-
But the only was of loving me, baby
Is to pay a lovely fee
Darien-
Just one night
Give me just one night
Serena-
There's no way
Because you can't pay
Darien-
In the name of love
One night in the name of love
Serena-
You crazy fool
I won't give into you
Darien-
Don't, leave me this way
I can't survive
Without your sweet love
Oh baby
Don't leave me this way
Serena-
You think that people
Would have had enough
Of silly love songs
Darien-
I look around me
And I see it isn't so
Ha…ha...no
Serena-
Some people want to fill the world
With silly love songs
Darien-
Well, what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
Cause here I go…
Y…e…a…h…he
Love lifts us up where we belong
Where eagles fly
On a mountain high
Serena-
Love makes us act
Like we are fools
Throw our lives away
For one happy day
Darien-
We could be heroes
Just for one day
Serena-
You
You will be mean
Darien-
"No..I won't"
Serena-
"And I
I…I'll drink all the time"
Darien-
We should be lovers
Serena-
We can't do that
Darien-
We should be lovers
And that's a fact
Serena-
Though nothing
Will keep us together
Darien-
We could just turn
Darien and Serena-
Just for one day
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Darien-
Just because
I..ei..will always love you
Serena-
And I..ei..
Darien and Serena-
…can't help loving you
Serena-
How wonderful life is
Darien and Serena-
Now you're in the…world
As a tenor singer came onto the stage to finish the song off, Darien twirled Serena around and when the music stopped, Darien was holding Serena and leaning into her as that was how they were supposed to end the dance. As the applause rang throughout the auditorium, Darien and Serena broke apart and wave with the other band members, unaware that someone waited for Serena in the shadows of her hotel room.
