"So good to get outta that restaurant for a change." Long smiled, with Lanfa and Uriko by his side. The fair looked so promising, so full of hope and fun. "Hey, Long! I wanna kitty!" The girls dragged him to the ball throwing booth, Long called out in surprise. On the other side of the fair was Brad and Basara, Basara was eating some cotton candy and Brad was munching on a large pretzel. They looked up as some music began to play, there was a stage where a handsome country singer was singing a few tunes to the dancers on the stage. Taking Brad by the hand and escorting him to the stage, Basara giggled and then turned toward Brad. The country singer spotted the happy lovers and smiled. He ended his tune and began another one. Brad and Basara began to dance to this one, the music was in'sync to their emotions. Well The World Just Lost Two Lonely People
The World Just Lost Two Broken Hearts

For The Rest Of My Life I'm Gonna Hold You In My Arms Sitting on his silver and red Yakuza Stinger overlooking the fair, Tanaka sat there in the moonlight. Kenshirou was by his side, his head on Tanaka's shoulder. They were listening to the words of the song on their radio. "You seem so sad, Tanaka. What's wrong?" "It's nothing, brother." Tanaka wrapped his arm around Kenshirou. "No matter what happens, Kenshirou. I will always be there to protect you." "...Y-you... sound like you're going to die. What's wrong, Tanaka. Tell me!" "...I've been bitten." Tanaka spoke softly, but enough for Kenshirou to hear. "N-no...!!" "I'm not sure us Hengeyokai are immune to the Vampire's Kiss. I'm waiting it out." Holding his brother in his arms tightly, Kenshirou held on for all his might. Tanaka held on also, his eyes watering. And When They Carve My Stone All They Need To Write On It

Walking to the hot dog vendor, Erik ordered a few hot dogs with everything on them and began to scarf them down in a heartbeat. "....dumbass doctor." Erik walked away from the fair, hands in pockets.

The audience clapped although the real reason for the song was gone. One of the stagehands turned toward the country singer and frowned. "You do realize, Mr. Herndon..." He whispered. "..you sang that song for two gay men." "So? Everyone deserves to be in love, despite the gender differences in their partner. I must admit... they do look so cute together."
