Author's Note: Hi guys! The reason for me not updating earlier is that I was feeling very depressed. Normally when I get depressed I can still write, and I DID want to write. But I wanted to kill everyone in my stories and I thought that it would not be fair to any readers if I ended my stories with everyone dying for no particular reason. So, I try not to write when I will just destroy the story, so I stayed away from my writing. But now I am back!!! And I don't even want anyone to die!! LOL :-) I will try to finish my fics to make up for the lost time. Or get them partially done. Well you guys know the drill. Review, Review REVIEW! Pleeeeease! I promise that the next chapter will be up soon so that I can start a new fic. Yeah!!!!!! Okay I am going to stop ranting now and start writing the story.

What's In a Song?

Hero



"Next up on the stage to sing is Brennan Mulwray. He will be having a videotape playing while he sings." Mrs. Smith said to the audience as Brennan made his way up to the stage wearing blue jeans and a tight long sleeved blue shirt. (Author's Note: The video is at the bottom of the page after the asterisks. The video IS of scenes that have been on the show, but, I will say that they somehow have themselves taped for security reasons. The video is supposed to be flashes - each 'scene' lasts for about five to ten seconds each.)

"Go Brennan!!" someone screamed from the audience.

"Just to remind everyone one of the contest sponsors is Wal-Mart. Remember, shop Wal-Mart and save!" Said Mrs. Smith.

"I will be singing Hero by Enrique Iglesias for someone that I know. I would like to thank my friend Jesse for helping me with the tape." Brennan said.

Brennan (singing and the video starts****)
Would you dance
if I asked you to dance?
Would you run
and never look back?
Would you cry
if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you tremble
if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight

I can be your hero baby.
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear
That you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
Or would you run and hide?
Am I in to deep?
I don't care...
You're here tonight

I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Oh, I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here tonight

I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

I can be your hero
I can kiss away the pain
And I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
And I can be your hero

Brennan jumps off the stage and walks over to the rest of the team were Shalimar is blushing.

"That was a great video if I do say so myself." Jesse says.

"Yeah, it was REALLY good Brennan. Thank you." Shalimar says.

"Hey, it was no problem. Jesse here helped me out a lot." Brennan replied.

"Hey you guys I am going to sing next." Jesse says as he walks towards the stage. Shalimar and Brennan move closer to each other and await Jesse's song.

Author's Note: Once again, I am very sorry that I have not updated earlier. Please review?!! I want to have Jesse sing next, but I am not exactly sure what he should sing. Any suggestions would be welcome. I will try my best to have the next chapter up within one week. I actually might this time because I have incentive from a friend! They helped me to stop being depressed.
