I walked into the room to find Billee, Legolas and Boromir looking at me.

"What?" I asked, wiping my eyes hurriedly. I had been crying for sometime. Then I saw Emma. She was asleep.

"Jamie, Emma's collapsed from not eating properly. Can you get some food?"

I nodded and made my way to the door. I went though to the kitchen and came back with a few slices of bread and cheese, along with an apple. Even if Emma hated my guts for the rest of her life, I wasn't going to turn away if she needed my help. I handed the food to Billee and he thanked me. I lay on my bed and and stared at the ceiling. That's when I had my idea. A way that all of us girls could say we were truly sorry. I decided to wait until breakfast to show them my idea.



After the breakfast, I had told the girls my idea and they had agreed. It would work, since Emma had been avoiding us all. I was the one to enter us in the competition. So I went to Elrond's office.

"Jamie, what do you need?"

"Can I put a group down for the mock rock?"

"Sure you can. How many are there in a group?"

"Well there Indigo, Reesa, Blue, Arwen, Rosie and Me."

"All right, and what is your group called?"

"Apology Accepted"

"The AA's, eh?"

I smiled. "Yes sir. Thanks."





After I had spoken with Elrond, I made my way back to our room, grabbed my CD player, and gathered the girls.

"C'mon girls, of your snatches. Practice time."

We made our way to a secluded forest area and I turned on the CD. "OK, we'll do this…."



The Mock Rock was about two weeks away. That gave us plenty of time to practice. When the big night finally came, we told Billee, Boromir and Legolas to get a seat right up the front for Emma and themselves. They knew what we were up to, and just nodded with a smile on their face.

"Alright, the first group is 'Five Minus One'!" some kids broke into a 5ive song. It was okay. They got a pretty good score from the judges.

I had asked if we go last. Elrond had a vague idea what I wanted to do. When he asked me, I hadjust smiled and said, "You'll just have to wait and see, sir."

I think the funniest act was when about six kids from the lower grades had done a song from 'Shrek'. The Information Booth song. Five of them were dressed as student is colourful little uniforms and one was a Judge. Everyone was practically rolling in the isles laughing.

Finally it was our turn. We came out on stage and we all said together:

"We want to dedicate this song to our friend and sorta-sister, Emma Silverblade. We hope she forgives us."

We all jumped around in the dance.

Whooooaaaa whooooaaaa!

I sang into the microphone clipped on my collar.

If only you read my mind,

You'd see I was hurt inside,

A Thousand times I've told myself its over.

It's over… said Arwen

But the story has just begun

And Darling what's done is done.

It's time to change and leave the past behind

Why should we know all the answers?

Or how the story ends?

So Baby… Blue said.

Reesa took the chorus.

Let's take a chance on a happy ending,

Let's turn the page and stop pretending

The past can stop a heart from mending

It's time to let go 'cos baby you know

Some things are Better Best Forgotten.

Blue began the next verse.

And baby we can't pretend

In time the scars will mend

Please believe me there's a chance, Let's take it.

Lets take it….I said

And maybe at last we'll find

That love should be true not blind

You can't deceive a heart that's open wide.

Rosie took the Chorus

And Even now it's not to late

To change the stories end

So baby…Said Indigo

Let's take a chance on a happy ending

Let's turn the page and stop pretending

The past can stop a heart from mending

It's time to let go 'cos baby you know

Some things are better best forgotten.

We all joined in on the last little bit and the chorus

The story has just begun

Darlin' what's done is done

It's time to change and leave the past behind!

Let's take a chance on a happy ending,

Let's turn to page and stop pretending

The past can stop a heart from mending

It's time to let go 'cos baby you know

Some things are Better Best Forgotten!



We looked a Emma. We were truly sorry for upsetting her, and we had though if we all said sorry together, she would forgive us. From where I stood, I could see she was crying. We descended the stage with uproarious applause and went over to her.

"We're sorry Emma. Forgive us?"

Her only answer was a bone crushing hug for each of us.



A/N: I don't own the song…that belongs to STEPS. Thanks guys!
