Camp times two
*Chapter 23: Camp two, Day thirteen*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
He rolled onto his back and flipped onto a kneel, stretching his hands upwards, releasing a chi blast at his two friends who were desperately trying to run away. Then, THEY were the ones frozen. He grinned to Meiling, "The advantage of being the strongest of us three is having telekinesis."
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
Tomoyo awoke to see a very sick-looking Sakura sitting on the couch clutching the mug she was staring into half to death, her knuckles white.
She gave her friend a sympathetic smile, "Have the butterflies gone hyper?"
Sakura jolted up in her seat and gave a shriek, before seeing her friend awake and smiled grimly, "That, and crocodiles gone postal."
Meiling, by now, was awake, "Ah, don't worry. You'll be fine. Consider yourself lucky that you don't have to be in all the items anymore. By the way, you got the schedule?"
Sakura stared pointedly at the sheet of paper on top of the TV in reply.
"Oh. 'K then. Isn't it time for you to go for the briefing?"
She gave another shriek and bolted out the door, right into Syaoran who was just leaving to go for the briefing.
He looked her up and down and then looked ready to burst out in laughter, the training when he was young having helped some.
She stared at him, "What?"
"Are you sure you're going to see Mrs. Campbell and Ms. Laura in that?"
She then realized she was still wearing a big Tee with a huge picture of Mashimaro down the front and fluffy pink bunny slippers. She gave another shriek, bolted into her room and did a quick-changing act of half a minute, before emerging a pink tank top, white shorts and pink flip-flops. She turned to the left, and turned to the right, a sheet of honey-brown hair flying everywhere, confused about where to go. Syaoran, standing by sweatdropping, sighed, brushed her hair off her face and clamped his hands as hard as he could on her shoulders. He looked into her eyes, "Look. Chill. You're not the only one who's nervous. And you're not the Xi Lang who spilled hot coffee on his crotch at the thought of having to see his girl at her sexiest. Now, let's just go to the friggin briefing and listen to what friggin things they have to say."
He turned her around, and steered her down the stairs and out the door, not letting go of her shoulders. When they stepped out, he could feel her aura relax a bit, so he let go. As they enjoyed a quiet walk to the main building, he felt her aura ease up more and more.
*Time skip to that night*
The whole of Cabin 6 had stomachs full of tbwwings on sugar highs (Oh, believe me. That's bad) just before Ms. Laura's voice came over the speaker, "That was Cabin 5, with an amazing 20 songs, just five under the limit! But, we have an even MORE amazing group up next. You might have noticed, that we sorted groups according to the quantity, starting with Cabin 3, with four items, Cabin 1, with six, Cabin 4, with ten, Cabin 2, with seventeen and Cabin 5, with twenty. Now, who can guess how many these guys have?"
Yells came from the crowds, and she kept silent before, "Yes! Do I here a twenty-four? YES I hear a twenty-four!! Twenty-four it is!! Give it up for Cabin 6, the Cherry Wolf All Stars!!!"
(By the way, if you're wondering about how Tomoyo is filming all this, she got her mom to send in all her filming equipment and got Ms. Laura to allow her to let her bodyguards film it provided that she got a copy of the end product)
Nakuru and Yukito walked onstage (they're at the side, the spotlight is trained on them, and you can't see shit else), Nakuru in a sparkling maroon mini-dress and maroon velvet six-inch heeled sandals, Yukito in a penguin suit. Touya had requested (i.e. grovelled, begged, pleaded, went down on his knees, etc.) earlier to not have to leave backstage, agreeing to do the music and everything else.
Nakuru screamed into her mike, "HI Y'ALL!!! I'm Nakuru, and this is Yukito here, we are your MCs for today. We'll be presenting our lovely cabin number 6 in their performance. Come on, tell us what their first song is, Yukito."
"To begin the night, a duet by Sakura and Syaoran, At The Beginning."
The spotlight shined on the two in the middle of the stage, Syaoran extremely uncomfortable in a tux and Sakura in a long flowy pink dress made of many thin layers of translucent sparkly silk, making it still look skin- tight, but still very floaty and fairy like.
Sa We were strangers starting out on a journey.
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through.
Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you.
Sy 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
Sa + Sy This is the start
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Sa
We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Sy Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Sa + Sy Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Sa Starting out on a journey
Sa + Sy Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning
With you
They bowed, and the spotlight went off, now shining on Nakuru and Yukito where they were standing earlier on. Nakuru started, "That was absolutely amazing, don't you think so? Let's have another round of applause for our leads."
They applauded.
Yukito shook his heading, grinning, "You guys are too obedient. Anyway, up next, too put it simply, Complicated!"
The spotlight now concentrated on Tara, Lara and Kara, in fitting sleeveless tops in their colours and black baggy pants.
Lk Uh huh, life's like this

They made a similar exit as Sakura and Syaoran and Nakuru said, "That was an unbelievably spectacular performance. What say you, Yukito?"
"Unbelievable is right. But this is believable, our first solo performance for tonight, I'm A Believer."
Fuji appeared in a big, baggy green hooded T-shirt with a Ying-Yang symbol on the front, a fitting long sleeved black shirt inside and baggy green pants.
Fu I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
I thought love was
More or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
What's the use in trying

He bowed, exited and the spotlight shone on the two MCs again. Once again, Nakuru spoke first, "Straight to the point. I know we can't be as good as the Moulin Rouge, but still, we can try."
"Presenting, our own rendition of Lady Marmalade!"
Tara, Lara and Kara were onstage in black/their colour corsets, black micro shorts, black killer heels, and black top hats.
Lt Where's all mah soul sistas
Lemme hear ya'll flow sistas
Ll
Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista

Creole Lady Marmalade Yes-ah......
They blew kisses at the audience and the spotlight went off (by the way, they're getting standing ovations, mind you, except for Tenji-tachi and Chidori-tachi). Nakuru smiled, "I say we're pretty lucky, to have such talented singers in our midst, don't you, Yukito?"
"Yes, lucky indeed. Anyway, for our next item, what other than Lucky?"
Sakura wore an ankle-length pink leather sleeveless coat buttoned to the waist, black slacks and black boots.
Sa This is a story about a girl named Lucky.
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go.
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say.
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night
Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go.
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say.
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night
Er Best actress, and the winner is.Lucky!
Ta I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for
Lucky. Oh my god.here she comes!
Sa
Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there's nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?
She bowed, and the spotlight shone on Nakuru and Yukito, and Nakuru said, "All the songs these days are about love, aren't they?"
"Yup. To tell the truth, it's getting kinda boring. But this one, this song is truly special. Check it out."
Syaoran, Eriol, Fuji, Ryu and Satoshi appeared in black formal jackets left unbuttoned, white shirts inside with only the collar button left unbuttoned and black trousers.
Sy An empty street,
An empty house,
A whole inside my heart.
I'm all alone.
The rooms are getting smaller.
Er
I wonder how,
I wonder why,
I wonder where they are.
The days we had,
The songs we sang together.
Oh, yeah.
Sh
And oh, my love.
I'm holding on forever.
Reaching for a love that seems so far.
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh
So, I say a little prayer.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
Over seas and coast to coast.
Find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
My love.
Fu
I try to read,
I go to work,
I'm laughin' with my friends.
But I can't stop,
To keep myself from thinking.
Oh, no.
Ry I wonder how,
I wonder why,
I wonder where they are.
The days we had,
The songs we sang together.
Oh, yeah.
Sh
And oh, my love.
I'm holding on forever.
Reaching for a love that seems so far.
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh
So, I say a little prayer.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
Over seas and coast to coast.
Find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again...
Sh
To hold you in my arms.
To promise you my love.
To tell you from the heart,
You're what I'm thinking of.
I'm reaching for the love that seems so far.
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh
Soooo, I say a little prayer.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
Over seas and coast to coast.
Find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
My love.
I say a little prayer
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again
Over seas and coast to coast
To find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
My love.
It was Yukito's turn to speak first, "Did any of your dreams ever come true, Nakuru?"
"Well, yes. That was the time I dreamed aboutallthesweetsintheworld..."
Yukito sweatdropped and clamped his hand over her mouth, "Well anyway, Never Had A Dream Come True."
Sakura and Tomoyo were onstage, wearing long black skirts and T-shirts in pink and purple respectively.
Sa Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you know
Sa + To
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
To
Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
And so my road can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
Sa + To
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
To
With you (BTW, this bit overlaps with the next bit)
Sa
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
To
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
Sa No no no no
Sa + To
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you
Yukito spoke again, "I love December. My favourite month. Too bad it's not December now. Let's just pretend it is, shall we?"
"That we shall Yukito, that we shall. For the next song, Once Upon A December."
Tomoyo wore a long flowy barebacked lavender gown.
To Dancing bears, painted wings.
Things I almost remember.
And a song, someone sings
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm
As horses prance through the silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory.
Faraway, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember.
Things my heart used to know,
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm
As horses prance through the silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory.
Faraway, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember.
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember.
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Nakuru twirled around and around on the spot, humming. Yukito laughed and clamped his hand on her shoulder, "Stop it, you're making me dizzy."
"But don't you love that song? That is certainly something out of the ordinary."
"Is anything truly and purely ordinary, may I ask?"
"Well, this girl is."
Meiling, Sakura and Tomoyo wore black slacks and V-neck tops cut just under the bust with sleeves that were fitting at the top and flared out at the elbows in red, pink and purple respectively.
Sa Your powers may grow
Each time you win
Thus you blush head to toe
When you catch sight of her
Me She's just an ordinary girl
In a magical world
Now she's on the trail of trouble
To One day, you'll find
Your whole life has changed
Act quick, be brave
Your heart will show you the way
Sa And the adventure has just begun
Me She's just an ordinary girl
In a magical world
Now she's on the trail of trouble
Sa + To +Me She's just an ordinary girl
In a magical world
Now she's on the trail of trouble
Nakuru clapped, "Short and sweet, that's what I say."
"Yup. By the way, what DID happen to Touya? Wasn't he supposed to be an MC with us?"
"He doing all the backstage and the AV stuff."
"I thought he might have wanted to be out here to glare at the guys who are making goggle eyes at Sakura. That guy is FAR too overprotective."
"You said it."
Meiling changed only her top into a Chinese-style shirt (exactly like Aril Lavigne's at the MTV Asia Awards 2003, except in different colours) in red and gold, red being the main colour.
Me Say hello to the girl that I am!
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected
There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers
What am I to do with my life
You will find out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I tell 'em what I like
What I want
What I don't
But every time I do I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world, I realize
I'm Overprotected
There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God I need some answers
What am I to do with my life
You will find out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I don't need nobody
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Nobody tell me just what what what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
What am I to do with my life
You will find out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I don't need nobody
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Ain't nobody tell me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
What am I to do with my life
You will find out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
Nakuru groaned, "Another love song, is it?"
"Unfortunately for you, yes, another love song. But don't worry; it's a good one. Presenting, Queen of My Heart."
Syaoran, Eriol, Fuji, Ryu and Satoshi were in what they were in earlier, except now Syaoran's shirt was dark green, Eriol's dark blue, Fuji's black, Ryu's still white and Satoshi's wine red.
Sy
So here we stand
In our secret place
With a sound of the crowd
So far away
And you take my hand
And it feels like home
We both understand
It's where we belong
Er So how do I say?
Do I say goodbye?
We both have our dreams
We both wanna fly
So let's take tonight
To carry us through
The lonely times
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
Fu
So let's take tonight
And never let go
While dancing we'll kiss
Like there's no tomorrow
As the stars sparkle down
Like a diamond ring
I'll treasure this moment
Till we meet again
Ry But no matter how far
Or where you may be
I just close my eyes
And you're in my dreams
And there you will be
Until we meet
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
Sh Oh yeah
You're the
Queen of my heart
No matter
How many years it takes
I'll give it all to you
Oh yeah
Oh yes you are
Sy
The queen of my heart
"WEE~!!" Nakuru was turning round, and round, and round in her spot again.
"Nakuru, please, for the sake of all our sanities, stop that."
"WHY~??!!" She said in a singsong voice, spinning faster and faster.
"Because you're making us all dizzy."
"It's not MY fault they won't let me do the next ITEM!!"
"Oh dear, you're hyper. Anyway, enjoy."
Chiharu, Naoko and Rika appeared in black strapless dresses that flared out at the waist and had an asymmetrical hem, being at knee-length at the left side, and ankle-length at the right.
Ch Round, round baby round, round

Just tonight he'll be mine
And he's gone
Yeah
Na
People moving, bodies grooving
Never ending
Place is moving
All my girls are here with me
Worry now they've got their need
Woo
Ch + Na +Ri
Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don't need nobody got my honeys
When I go round baby round round
Spend the night on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don't need nobody but my honeys
When I go
Ri
Ooh
Does it hurt, when you see
How I've done
Without you
Thought that I could belong
Never thought that you could be so cruel
All you need is some friends
Won't be by yourself
Let's go round and round and round and round and round
Ch + Na + Ri
Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don't need nobody got my honeys
When I go round baby round round

Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don't need nobody but my honeys
When I go
Round, baby when I go

When I go round baby
When I go
When I go
When I go
When I go
Yukito and Nakuru had gone through a costume change. Yukito was now in a white T-shirt, brown jacket and blue jeans. Nakuru wore a white T-shirt, blue denim jacket and a brown fringed skirt. Yukito said, "Up next, we have a great song called,"
Nakuru finished, "On The Wings Of A Dream!"
To A twinkle in the night sky far far away
A golden star I gazed upon in my dreams
On a sleepless evening I sing alone
Tomorrow I'll sing with you
On the wings of a dream
A twinkle in the night sky far far away
A golden star I gazed upon in my dreams
On a sleepless evening I sing alone
Tomorrow I'll sing with you
On the wings of a dream
"Another short piece, let's give it up for Tomoyo."
Yukito clapped in agreement, "Yes. That was nice, though. Anyway, let's waste no time - Supergirl!"
Sa Sometimes I have dreams
I picture myself flying
Above the clouds
High in the sky
Conquering the world
With my magic piano
Never being scared
But then I realise
I'm supergirl
And I'm here
To save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
Seems like a dream
But there's one thing missing
Nobody's here with me
To share in all that
I've been given
I need someone
That's strong enough for me
I'm supergirl
And I'm here
To save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
Hey ooh
I need someone
I won't stop till
I find the one
Who will start
Belonging in my life
I need someone
I won't stop till
I find the one
Who will start
Belonging in my life
I'm supergirl
And I'm here
To save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
I'm supergirl
I wanna know
Who's gonna save me
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
"That was great, what do you think, Nakuru?"
"I never said a truer word. But the next song is gonna be greater. This next song is a remix done by our next solo singer for the previous camp's competition. I should know, I was the guitarist (If memory serves, Tomoyo was at the keyboard). So, presenting The Day You Went Away."
Sakura was looking absolutely stunning in the exact same outfit she was in at her previous performance, an ankle-length halter-neck emerald green silk gown with pink cherry blossoms embroidered along one corner, i.e. the one on the side where the single knee-high slit was.
Sa I'm a big, big girl
In a big, big world
Not a big, big thing
If you leave me
But I do, do feel
That I do, do will
Miss you much
Miss you much
I'm a big, big girl
In a big, big world
Not a big, big thing
If you leave me
But I do, do feel
That I do, do will
Miss you much
Miss you much
Well I wonder could it be
When I was dreaming 'bout you baby
You were dreaming of me
Call me crazy, call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time
Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really really do
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
I remember date and time
September twenty second
Sunday twenty five after nine
In the doorway with your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our faces
And we were letting go of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really really know
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
The day you went away
The day you went away
Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really really do
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could I carry on
The day you went away
Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
The day you went away
The day you went away
She touched that high note and Nakuru applauded, subconsciously, into her mike, which would have deafened everyone, were they not clapping even louder. Yukito, however, winced and clutched his ears in agony, "Nakuru, have mercy on my ears."
"Oh, sorry."
"Right. So, we'll move on to the next song while I allow my ears to recover. A nice inspirational one, The Middle."
Syaoran wore a very usual outfit, with a very usual big baggy green shirt and very usual big baggy pants.
Sy Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright
"That was cool, don't you think?"
Nakuru nodded, "Yup. And are your ears any better?"
"Much. And don't go clapping into your mike again, I'm begging."
She giggled, "'K."
"So, for our next item, we've got The Tide Is High."
Sakura, Tomoyo and Meiling wore knee length white dresses that were somewhat clingy except for around the hem, and were made out of some floaty material. Sakura's was spaghetti strap, Tomoyo's off the shoulder with sleeves that reached to her knuckles and loosened up at her wrist and Meiling's sleeveless.
Sa + To + Me The tide is high
But I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kinda girl
Who gives up just like that
Me Oh no
Sa
It's not the things you do
That tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do the things
You do to me
I'm not the kinda girl
Who gives up just like that
Me
Oh no

The tide is high
But I'm holding on

Every girl wants
You to be her man

Who gives up just like that
Me
Oh no

The tide is high
But I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high
But I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

Me
Every time that I get
The feeling
You give me something
to believe in
Every time that I got
you near me
I know the way I want it to be
But you know that
I'm gonna take
my chance now
I'm gonna make
it happen somehow
And you know I can
take the pressure
A moment's pain for
a lifetime pleasure
Sa
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait right here
'Till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl
Who gives up just like that
To + Me
Oh no
Sa + To + Me
The tide is high

"Yes, I say those girls are right. It IS high tide now, there being a full moon out."
"Oh, Yukito, don't be spastic. Up next, Upside Down."
Sakura, Syaoran, Chiharu and Takashi all wore dark blue jeans and white T- shirts, the girls' fitting, the guys' big and baggy.
Sa My grades are down from A's to D's
I'm way behind in history
I lost myself in fantasies
Of you and me together
Ch
I don't know why - I - I but dreaming's all I do
I won't get by-I-I on mere imagination
Sa + Ch + Sy + Ta
Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you
Sy
My teacher says to concentrate
So what- his name was Peter the Great
The kings and queens will have to wait
Cuz I don't have forever
Ta
I wish that I - I - I could walk right up to you
Each time I try- I-I the same old hesitation
Sa + Ch + Sy + Ta
Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you
Sa
Somehow someday
You will love me too
One day will be the day when all my dreams come true
Sa + Ch + Sy + Ta
Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you
"We're almost done, aren't we Yukito?"
"Somewhat, yes, I suppose. Our next song, the seventh last, Uptown Girl."
Syaoran, Eriol, Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long were all wearing the same thing, a sleeveless white T underneath a black short-sleeved shirt with silver collar and inner lining, white jeans and a brown belt.
Sy Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
Er
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Li
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
La
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
Lo You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Sy
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
Er
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
Sy + Er + Li + La + Lo
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
"Do you like what you see so far?" Nakuru screamed, sticking her mike out, receiving a "YES" from the audience.
Yukito smiled, "Well, you see the best, you get the best, and What U See Is What U Get."
Meiling wore a Chinese style top in black with shiny black embroidery and shiny black edging with black flared pants.
Me You used to say that I was special
Everything was right
But now you think I'm wearing too much make-up
That my dress is too tight
You got no reasons to be jealous
I've never been untrue
So does it really matter if they're looking
I'm only looking at you
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am
What you see is what you get
This is me, hey you
If you want me, don't forget
You should take me as I am
'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get
I know you watch me when I'm dancin'
When I party with me friends
I can feel your eyes on my back, baby
I can't have no chains around me, baby can't you see
I could be anything you dream of, but I gotta feel free
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am
What you see is what you get
This is me, hey you
If you want me, don't forget
You should take me as I am
'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
Believe me, you'll be looking for trouble if you hurt me
I can promise you, you'll be looking for trouble
Believe me, yeah yeah yeah yeah
"I love that song. Anyway up next we have."
Yukito continued, "When You're Looking Like That."
Syaoran, Eriol, Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long were in their previous outfits.
Sy She's a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes
Everybody's who's staring wouldn't believe that this girl was mine
I should have know I was wrong
When I left her for a life in pity
Li But they say you never miss the water until it's gone
Guess I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
Sy + Er + Li + La + Lo
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
Er
She's all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll
Wanna squeeze her real tight get out of this place
If only I could take control
But she is out of my reach forever
And just a week ago she lied next to me
La It's so ironic how I had to lose just
To see that I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
Sy + Er + Li + La + Lo How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
Lo
I don't wanna forget you
I don't even wanna try
How am I supposed to walk on by when you're looking like that
Sy + Er + Li + La + Lo
How am I supposed to leave you now
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
Yukito said, "Well, we really are reaching the end very soon. We're now having an all-guy number, Seasons In The Sun."
The guys were all in black shiny long-sleeved shirts with the collar button open and black trousers, looking somewhat formal.
Sy Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Er
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
Ta
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
Fu
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Ry
Goodbye papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there
Sh
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Li
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
La Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
Lo
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Sy + Er + Ta + Fu + Ry + Sh + Li + La + Lo
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Nakuru, "Such a pity isn't it? All this is almost over. Anyway, all-guys followed by all-girls, Reach."
The girls were in ankle-length sparkly black dresses, and heels.
Sa When the world, leaves you feeling blue
You can count on me, I will be there for you
When it seems, all you hopes and dreams
Are a million miles away, I will re-assure you
To
We've got to all stick together
Good friends, there for each other
Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
Me
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Ch
There's a place waiting just for you
Is a special place where your dreams all come true
Fly away swim, the ocean sea
Drive that open road, leave the past behind you
Ri Don't stop gotta keep moving
Your hopes have gotta keep building
Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
Na
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Lt
Don't believe in all that you've been told
The sky's the limit you can reach your goal
No-one knows just what the future holds
There ain't nothing you can't be
There's a whole world at your feet
I said reach
Ll
Climb every mountain
Reach for the moon
Follow that rainbow
And your dreams will all come true
Lk
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Sa + To + Me + Ch + Na + Ri + Lt + Ll + Lk Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
"As you all should know, tonight is the night when all of us graduate from Camp P² (Two camps, right? So, P²) so what better song than,"
Yukito finished, "Graduation."
They now wore various casual outfits that are too tedious to describe.
Sa And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And we got so blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
Sa + Sy + Er + To + Ta + Ch + Fu + Me + Ry + Ri + Sh + Na + Li + La + Lo + Lt + Ll + Lk
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Sy
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
Sa + Sy + Er + To + Ta + Ch + Fu + Me + Ry + Ri + Sh + Na + Li + La + Lo + Lt + Ll + Lk
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever
Sa + Sy
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
Sa + Sy + Er + To + Ta + Ch + Fu + Me + Ry + Ri + Sh + Na + Li + La + Lo + Lt + Ll + Lk
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Nakuru started, "So, that was our last song for the evening."
"Yes, it was, so it's time to say goodbye."
"You've been a wonderful audience, so on behalf of ALL our singers, thank you,"
"And goodnight."
The audience rose, clapping like there was no tomorrow.
*After the time taken to tally the scores*
Their effort had paid off, and they changed back into their formal outfits (from Seasons In The Sun and Reach) for the graduation ceremony.
Ms. Laura took the mike, quieting the audience, "Well, let's get straight to the point. Tonight's winner is CABIN 6, THE CHERRY WOLF ALL STARS!"
A unified scream filled the air, everyone was cheering.
They 'poured' out of their seats in one continuous wave and soon, were on the stage. One of Tomoyo's bodyguards was down there, with a camera ready. They struck a pose quickly, in the back row (All this is in order from the camerawoman's POV from left to right) Nakuru, Touya and Yukito were standing in a row with Sakura and Syaoran on their shoulders, their right and left hands respectively holding the trophy up high, the other two hands clutching Nakuru's and Yukito's for support. Kara, Lara, Tara, Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, Meiling, Tomoyo, Eriol, Fuji, Ryu, Satoshi, Takashi, Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long made up the front row, kneeling on their left foot with a bent right knee.
There was a flash, and then it was all over.
There. Done. FINALLY. Hope you guys enjoyed it. And no. This is not the last chappie. I still have the next morning and the epilogue, part of which will form the sequel's prologue, to do and THEN I'm done. Well, for now, Ja! And by the way, a pox on Valentine's Day and a pox on St. Valentine. I am so SICK of couples sticking right up your nose doing all that kissy stuff. UGH! And all a friend and I had to do after Air Rifle practice was to walk from Tampines Interchange to the basement of Tampines Mall, wait a few minutes while we eat and out again towards Century Square to count a hundred and fifty couples, not including those with kids, those from the generation before ours, those we couldn't bother with after reaching a hundred and fifty about ten metres from the exit of TM and the hundreds that we missed.

Camp times two
*Chapter 23: Camp two, Day thirteen*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
He rolled onto his back and flipped onto a kneel, stretching his hands upwards, releasing a chi blast at his two friends who were desperately trying to run away. Then, THEY were the ones frozen. He grinned to Meiling, "The advantage of being the strongest of us three is having telekinesis."
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
Tomoyo awoke to see a very sick-looking Sakura sitting on the couch clutching the mug she was staring into half to death, her knuckles white.
She gave her friend a sympathetic smile, "Have the butterflies gone hyper?"
Sakura jolted up in her seat and gave a shriek, before seeing her friend awake and smiled grimly, "That, and crocodiles gone postal."
Meiling, by now, was awake, "Ah, don't worry. You'll be fine. Consider yourself lucky that you don't have to be in all the items anymore. By the way, you got the schedule?"
Sakura stared pointedly at the sheet of paper on top of the TV in reply.
"Oh. 'K then. Isn't it time for you to go for the briefing?"
She gave another shriek and bolted out the door, right into Syaoran who was just leaving to go for the briefing.
He looked her up and down and then looked ready to burst out in laughter, the training when he was young having helped some.
She stared at him, "What?"
"Are you sure you're going to see Mrs. Campbell and Ms. Laura in that?"
She then realized she was still wearing a big Tee with a huge picture of Mashimaro down the front and fluffy pink bunny slippers. She gave another shriek, bolted into her room and did a quick-changing act of half a minute, before emerging a pink tank top, white shorts and pink flip-flops. She turned to the left, and turned to the right, a sheet of honey-brown hair flying everywhere, confused about where to go. Syaoran, standing by sweatdropping, sighed, brushed her hair off her face and clamped his hands as hard as he could on her shoulders. He looked into her eyes, "Look. Chill. You're not the only one who's nervous. And you're not the Xi Lang who spilled hot coffee on his crotch at the thought of having to see his girl at her sexiest. Now, let's just go to the friggin briefing and listen to what friggin things they have to say."
He turned her around, and steered her down the stairs and out the door, not letting go of her shoulders. When they stepped out, he could feel her aura relax a bit, so he let go. As they enjoyed a quiet walk to the main building, he felt her aura ease up more and more.
*Time skip to that night*
The whole of Cabin 6 had stomachs full of tbwwings on sugar highs (Oh, believe me. That's bad) just before Ms. Laura's voice came over the speaker, "That was Cabin 5, with an amazing 20 songs, just five under the limit! But, we have an even MORE amazing group up next. You might have noticed, that we sorted groups according to the quantity, starting with Cabin 3, with four items, Cabin 1, with six, Cabin 4, with ten, Cabin 2, with seventeen and Cabin 5, with twenty. Now, who can guess how many these guys have?"
Yells came from the crowds, and she kept silent before, "Yes! Do I here a twenty-four? YES I hear a twenty-four!! Twenty-four it is!! Give it up for Cabin 6, the Cherry Wolf All Stars!!!"
(By the way, if you're wondering about how Tomoyo is filming all this, she got her mom to send in all her filming equipment and got Ms. Laura to allow her to let her bodyguards film it provided that she got a copy of the end product)
Nakuru and Yukito walked onstage (they're at the side, the spotlight is trained on them, and you can't see shit else), Nakuru in a sparkling maroon mini-dress and maroon velvet six-inch heeled sandals, Yukito in a penguin suit. Touya had requested (i.e. grovelled, begged, pleaded, went down on his knees, etc.) earlier to not have to leave backstage, agreeing to do the music and everything else.
Nakuru screamed into her mike, "HI Y'ALL!!! I'm Nakuru, and this is Yukito here, we are your MCs for today. We'll be presenting our lovely cabin number 6 in their performance. Come on, tell us what their first song is, Yukito."
"To begin the night, a duet by Sakura and Syaoran, At The Beginning."
The spotlight shined on the two in the middle of the stage, Syaoran extremely uncomfortable in a tux and Sakura in a long flowy pink dress made of many thin layers of translucent sparkly silk, making it still look skin- tight, but still very floaty and fairy like.
Sa We were strangers starting out on a journey.
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through.
Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you.
Sy 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
Sa + Sy This is the start
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Sa
We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Sy Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Sa + Sy Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Sa Starting out on a journey
Sa + Sy Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning
With you
They bowed, and the spotlight went off, now shining on Nakuru and Yukito where they were standing earlier on. Nakuru started, "That was absolutely amazing, don't you think so? Let's have another round of applause for our leads."
They applauded.
Yukito shook his heading, grinning, "You guys are too obedient. Anyway, up next, too put it simply, Complicated!"
The spotlight now concentrated on Tara, Lara and Kara, in fitting sleeveless tops in their colours and black baggy pants.
Lk Uh huh, life's like this

They made a similar exit as Sakura and Syaoran and Nakuru said, "That was an unbelievably spectacular performance. What say you, Yukito?"
"Unbelievable is right. But this is believable, our first solo performance for tonight, I'm A Believer."
Fuji appeared in a big, baggy green hooded T-shirt with a Ying-Yang symbol on the front, a fitting long sleeved black shirt inside and baggy green pants.
Fu I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
I thought love was
More or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer

He bowed, exited and the spotlight shone on the two MCs again. Once again, Nakuru spoke first, "Straight to the point. I know we can't be as good as the Moulin Rouge, but still, we can try."
"Presenting, our own rendition of Lady Marmalade!"
Tara, Lara and Kara were onstage in black/their colour corsets, black micro shorts, black killer heels, and black top hats.
Lt Where's all mah soul sistas
Lemme hear ya'll flow sistas
Ll
Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista

Creole Lady Marmalade Yes-ah......
They blew kisses at the audience and the spotlight went off (by the way, they're getting standing ovations, mind you, except for Tenji-tachi and Chidori-tachi). Nakuru smiled, "I say we're pretty lucky, to have such talented singers in our midst, don't you, Yukito?"
"Yes, lucky indeed. Anyway, for our next item, what other than Lucky?"
Sakura wore an ankle-length pink leather sleeveless coat buttoned to the waist, black slacks and black boots.
Sa This is a story about a girl named Lucky.
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go.
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say.
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night
Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go.
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say.
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night
Er Best actress, and the winner is.Lucky!
Ta I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for
Lucky. Oh my god.here she comes!
Sa
Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there's nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?
She bowed, and the spotlight shone on Nakuru and Yukito, and Nakuru said, "All the songs these days are about love, aren't they?"
"Yup. To tell the truth, it's getting kinda boring. But this one, this song is truly special. Check it out."
Syaoran, Eriol, Fuji, Ryu and Satoshi appeared in black formal jackets left unbuttoned, white shirts inside with only the collar button left unbuttoned and black trousers.
Sy An empty street,
An empty house,
A whole inside my heart.
I'm all alone.
The rooms are getting smaller.
Er
I wonder how,
I wonder why,
I wonder where they are.
The days we had,
The songs we sang together.
Oh, yeah.
Sh
And oh, my love.
I'm holding on forever.
Reaching for a love that seems so far.
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh
So, I say a little prayer.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
Over seas and coast to coast.
Find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
My love.
Fu
I try to read,
I go to work,
I'm laughin' with my friends.
But I can't stop,
To keep myself from thinking.
Oh, no.
Ry I wonder how,
I wonder why,
I wonder where they are.
The days we had,
The songs we sang together.
Oh, yeah.
Sh
And oh, my love.
I'm holding on forever.
Reaching for a love that seems so far.
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh
So, I say a little prayer.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
Over seas and coast to coast.
Find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again...
Sh
To hold you in my arms.
To promise you my love.
To tell you from the heart,
You're what I'm thinking of.
I'm reaching for the love that seems so far.
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh
Soooo, I say a little prayer.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
Over seas and coast to coast.
Find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
My love.
I say a little prayer
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again
Over seas and coast to coast
To find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
My love.
It was Yukito's turn to speak first, "Did any of your dreams ever come true, Nakuru?"
"Well, yes. That was the time I dreamed aboutallthesweetsintheworld..."
Yukito sweatdropped and clamped his hand over her mouth, "Well anyway, Never Had A Dream Come True."
Sakura and Tomoyo were onstage, wearing long black skirts and T-shirts in pink and purple respectively.
Sa Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you know
Sa + To
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
To
Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
And so my road can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go
Sa + To
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
To
With you (BTW, this bit overlaps with the next bit)
Sa
You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
To
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
Sa No no no no
Sa + To
I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you
Yukito spoke again, "I love December. My favourite month. Too bad it's not December now. Let's just pretend it is, shall we?"
"That we shall Yukito, that we shall. For the next song, Once Upon A December."
Tomoyo wore a long flowy barebacked lavender gown.
To Dancing bears, painted wings.
Things I almost remember.
And a song, someone sings
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm
As horses prance through the silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory.
Faraway, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember.
Things my heart used to know,
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm
As horses prance through the silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory.
Faraway, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember.
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember.
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Nakuru twirled around and around on the spot, humming. Yukito laughed and clamped his hand on her shoulder, "Stop it, you're making me dizzy."
"But don't you love that song? That is certainly something out of the ordinary."
"Is anything truly and purely ordinary, may I ask?"
"Well, this girl is."
Meiling, Sakura and Tomoyo wore black slacks and V-neck tops cut just under the bust with sleeves that were fitting at the top and flared out at the elbows in red, pink and purple respectively.
Sa Your powers may grow
Each time you win
Thus you blush head to toe
When you catch sight of her
Me She's just an ordinary girl
In a magical world
Now she's on the trail of trouble
To One day, you'll find
Your whole life has changed
Act quick, be brave
Your heart will show you the way
Sa And the adventure has just begun
Me She's just an ordinary girl
In a magical world
Now she's on the trail of trouble
Sa + To +Me She's just an ordinary girl
In a magical world
Now she's on the trail of trouble
Nakuru clapped, "Short and sweet, that's what I say."
"Yup. By the way, what DID happen to Touya? Wasn't he supposed to be an MC with us?"
"He doing all the backstage and the AV stuff."
"I thought he might have wanted to be out here to glare at the guys who are making goggle eyes at Sakura. That guy is FAR too overprotective."
"You said it."
Meiling changed only her top into a Chinese-style shirt (exactly like Aril Lavigne's at the MTV Asia Awards 2003, except in different colours) in red and gold, red being the main colour.
Me Say hello to the girl that I am!
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected
There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers
What am I to do with my life
You will find out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I tell 'em what I like
What I want
What I don't
But every time I do I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world, I realize
I'm Overprotected
There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God I need some answers
What am I to do with my life
You will find out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I don't need nobody
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Nobody tell me just what what what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
What am I to do with my life
You will find out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
I don't need nobody
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Ain't nobody tell me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
What am I to do with my life
You will find out don't worry
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
You just got to do it your way
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
Nakuru groaned, "Another love song, is it?"
"Unfortunately for you, yes, another love song. But don't worry; it's a good one. Presenting, Queen of My Heart."
Syaoran, Eriol, Fuji, Ryu and Satoshi were in what they were in earlier, except now Syaoran's shirt was dark green, Eriol's dark blue, Fuji's black, Ryu's still white and Satoshi's wine red.
Sy
So here we stand
In our secret place
With a sound of the crowd
So far away
And you take my hand
And it feels like home
We both understand
It's where we belong
Er So how do I say?
Do I say goodbye?
We both have our dreams
We both wanna fly
So let's take tonight
To carry us through
The lonely times
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
Fu
So let's take tonight
And never let go
While dancing we'll kiss
Like there's no tomorrow
As the stars sparkle down
Like a diamond ring
I'll treasure this moment
Till we meet again
Ry But no matter how far
Or where you may be
I just close my eyes
And you're in my dreams
And there you will be
Until we meet
Sy + Er + Fu + Ry + Sh I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
Sh Oh yeah
You're the
Queen of my heart
No matter
How many years it takes
I'll give it all to you
Oh yeah
Oh yes you are
Sy
The queen of my heart
"WEE~!!" Nakuru was turning round, and round, and round in her spot again.
"Nakuru, please, for the sake of all our sanities, stop that."
"WHY~??!!" She said in a singsong voice, spinning faster and faster.
"Because you're making us all dizzy."
"It's not MY fault they won't let me do the next ITEM!!"
"Oh dear, you're hyper. Anyway, enjoy."
Chiharu, Naoko and Rika appeared in black strapless dresses that flared out at the waist and had an asymmetrical hem, being at knee-length at the left side, and ankle-length at the right.

Yukito and Nakuru had gone through a costume change. Yukito was now in a white T-shirt, brown jacket and blue jeans. Nakuru wore a white T-shirt, blue denim jacket and a brown fringed skirt. Yukito said, "Up next, we have a great song called,"
Nakuru finished, "On The Wings Of A Dream!"
To A twinkle in the night sky far far away
A golden star I gazed upon in my dreams
On a sleepless evening I sing alone
Tomorrow I'll sing with you
On the wings of a dream
A twinkle in the night sky far far away
A golden star I gazed upon in my dreams
On a sleepless evening I sing alone
Tomorrow I'll sing with you
On the wings of a dream
"Another short piece, let's give it up for Tomoyo."
Yukito clapped in agreement, "Yes. That was nice, though. Anyway, let's waste no time - Supergirl!"
Sa Sometimes I have dreams
I picture myself flying
Above the clouds
High in the sky
Conquering the world
With my magic piano
Never being scared
But then I realise
I'm supergirl
And I'm here
To save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
Seems like a dream
But there's one thing missing
Nobody's here with me
To share in all that
I've been given
I need someone
That's strong enough for me
I'm supergirl
And I'm here
To save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
Hey ooh
I need someone
I won't stop till
I find the one
Who will start
Belonging in my life
I need someone
I won't stop till
I find the one
Who will start
Belonging in my life
I'm supergirl
And I'm here
To save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me?
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
And I wanna know
Why I feel so alone
I'm supergirl
I wanna know
Who's gonna save me
I'm supergirl
And I'm here to
Save the world
"That was great, what do you think, Nakuru?"
"I never said a truer word. But the next song is gonna be greater. This next song is a remix done by our next solo singer for the previous camp's competition. I should know, I was the guitarist (If memory serves, Tomoyo was at the keyboard). So, presenting The Day You Went Away."
Sakura was looking absolutely stunning in the exact same outfit she was in at her previous performance, an ankle-length halter-neck emerald green silk gown with pink cherry blossoms embroidered along one corner, i.e. the one on the side where the single knee-high slit was.
Sa I'm a big, big girl
In a big, big world
Not a big, big thing
If you leave me
But I do, do feel
That I do, do will
Miss you much
Miss you much
I'm a big, big girl
In a big, big world
Not a big, big thing
If you leave me
But I do, do feel
That I do, do will
Miss you much
Miss you much
Well I wonder could it be
When I was dreaming 'bout you baby
You were dreaming of me
Call me crazy, call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time
Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really really do
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
I remember date and time
September twenty second
Sunday twenty five after nine
In the doorway with your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our faces
And we were letting go of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really really know
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
The day you went away
The day you went away
Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really really do
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could I carry on
The day you went away
Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say
Been crying since the day
The day you went away
The day you went away
The day you went away
She touched that high note and Nakuru applauded, subconsciously, into her mike, which would have deafened everyone, were they not clapping even louder. Yukito, however, winced and clutched his ears in agony, "Nakuru, have mercy on my ears."
"Oh, sorry."
"Right. So, we'll move on to the next song while I allow my ears to recover. A nice inspirational one, The Middle."
Syaoran wore a very usual outfit, with a very usual big baggy green shirt and very usual big baggy pants.
Sy Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright
"That was cool, don't you think?"
Nakuru nodded, "Yup. And are your ears any better?"
"Much. And don't go clapping into your mike again, I'm begging."
She giggled, "'K."
"So, for our next item, we've got The Tide Is High."
Sakura, Tomoyo and Meiling wore knee length white dresses that were somewhat clingy except for around the hem, and were made out of some floaty material. Sakura's was spaghetti strap, Tomoyo's off the shoulder with sleeves that reached to her knuckles and loosened up at her wrist and Meiling's sleeveless.
Sa + To + Me The tide is high
But I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kinda girl
Who gives up just like that
Me Oh no
Sa
It's not the things you do
That tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do the things
You do to me

Every time that I get
The feeling
You give me something
to believe in
Every time that I got
you near me
I know the way I want it to be
But you know that
I'm gonna take
my chance now
I'm gonna make
it happen somehow
And you know I can
take the pressure
A moment's pain for
a lifetime pleasure
Sa
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait right here
'Till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl
Who gives up just like that

"Yes, I say those girls are right. It IS high tide now, there being a full moon out."
"Oh, Yukito, don't be spastic. Up next, Upside Down."
Sakura, Syaoran, Chiharu and Takashi all wore dark blue jeans and white T- shirts, the girls' fitting, the guys' big and baggy.
Sa My grades are down from A's to D's
I'm way behind in history
I lost myself in fantasies
Of you and me together
Ch
I don't know why - I - I but dreaming's all I do
I won't get by-I-I on mere imagination
Sa + Ch + Sy + Ta
Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you
Sy
My teacher says to concentrate
So what- his name was Peter the Great
The kings and queens will have to wait
Cuz I don't have forever
Ta
I wish that I - I - I could walk right up to you
Each time I try- I-I the same old hesitation
Sa + Ch + Sy + Ta
Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you
Sa
Somehow someday
You will love me too
One day will be the day when all my dreams come true
Sa + Ch + Sy + Ta
Upside down
Bouncing off the ceiling
Inside out
Stranger to this feeling
Got no clue what I should do
But I'll go crazy if I can't get next to you
"We're almost done, aren't we Yukito?"
"Somewhat, yes, I suppose. Our next song, the seventh last, Uptown Girl."
Syaoran, Eriol, Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long were all wearing the same thing, a sleeveless white T underneath a black short-sleeved shirt with silver collar and inner lining, white jeans and a brown belt.
Sy Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
Er
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Li
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
La
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
Lo You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Sy
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
Er
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
Sy + Er + Li + La + Lo
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
"Do you like what you see so far?" Nakuru screamed, sticking her mike out, receiving a "YES" from the audience.
Yukito smiled, "Well, you see the best, you get the best, and What U See Is What U Get."
Meiling wore a Chinese style top in black with shiny black embroidery and shiny black edging with black flared pants.
Me You used to say that I was special
Everything was right
But now you think I'm wearing too much make-up
That my dress is too tight
You got no reasons to be jealous
I've never been untrue
So does it really matter if they're looking
I'm only looking at you
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am
What you see is what you get
This is me, hey you
If you want me, don't forget
You should take me as I am
'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get
I know you watch me when I'm dancin'
When I party with me friends
I can feel your eyes on my back, baby
I can't have no chains around me, baby can't you see
I could be anything you dream of, but I gotta feel free
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am
What you see is what you get
This is me, hey you
If you want me, don't forget
You should take me as I am
'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
Believe me, you'll be looking for trouble if you hurt me
I can promise you, you'll be looking for trouble
Believe me, yeah yeah yeah yeah
"I love that song. Anyway up next we have."
Yukito continued, "When You're Looking Like That."
Syaoran, Eriol, Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long were in their previous outfits.
Sy She's a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes
Everybody's who's staring wouldn't believe that this girl was mine
I should have know I was wrong
When I left her for a life in pity
Li But they say you never miss the water until it's gone
Guess I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
Sy + Er + Li + La + Lo
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
Er
She's all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll
Wanna squeeze her real tight get out of this place
If only I could take control
But she is out of my reach forever
And just a week ago she lied next to me
La It's so ironic how I had to lose just
To see that I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight
Sy + Er + Li + La + Lo How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
Lo
I don't wanna forget you
I don't even wanna try
How am I supposed to walk on by when you're looking like that
Sy + Er + Li + La + Lo
How am I supposed to leave you now
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
I can't believe what I just gave away
Now I can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that
Yukito said, "Well, we really are reaching the end very soon. We're now having an all-guy number, Seasons In The Sun."
The guys were all in black shiny long-sleeved shirts with the collar button open and black trousers, looking somewhat formal.
Sy Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Er
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
Ta
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
Fu
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Ry
Goodbye papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there
Sh
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Li
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
La Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
Lo
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Sy + Er + Ta + Fu + Ry + Sh + Li + La + Lo
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Nakuru, "Such a pity isn't it? All this is almost over. Anyway, all-guys followed by all-girls, Reach."
The girls were in ankle-length sparkly black dresses, and heels.
Sa When the world, leaves you feeling blue
You can count on me, I will be there for you
When it seems, all you hopes and dreams
Are a million miles away, I will re-assure you
To
We've got to all stick together
Good friends, there for each other
Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
Me
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Ch
There's a place waiting just for you
Is a special place where your dreams all come true
Fly away swim, the ocean sea
Drive that open road, leave the past behind you
Ri Don't stop gotta keep moving
Your hopes have gotta keep building
Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
Na
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Lt
Don't believe in all that you've been told
The sky's the limit you can reach your goal
No-one knows just what the future holds
There ain't nothing you can't be
There's a whole world at your feet
I said reach
Ll
Climb every mountain
Reach for the moon
Follow that rainbow
And your dreams will all come true
Lk
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Sa + To + Me + Ch + Na + Ri + Lt + Ll + Lk Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
"As you all should know, tonight is the night when all of us graduate from Camp P² (Two camps, right? So, P²) so what better song than,"
Yukito finished, "Graduation."
They now wore various casual outfits that are too tedious to describe.
Sa And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And we got so blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
Sa + Sy + Er + To + Ta + Ch + Fu + Me + Ry + Ri + Sh + Na + Li + La + Lo + Lt + Ll + Lk
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Sy
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
Sa + Sy + Er + To + Ta + Ch + Fu + Me + Ry + Ri + Sh + Na + Li + La + Lo + Lt + Ll + Lk
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever
Sa + Sy
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
Sa + Sy + Er + To + Ta + Ch + Fu + Me + Ry + Ri + Sh + Na + Li + La + Lo + Lt + Ll + Lk
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Nakuru started, "So, that was our last song for the evening."
"Yes, it was, so it's time to say goodbye."
"You've been a wonderful audience, so on behalf of ALL our singers, thank you,"
"And goodnight."
The audience rose, clapping like there was no tomorrow.
*After the time taken to tally the scores*
Their effort had paid off, and they changed back into their formal outfits (from Seasons In The Sun and Reach) for the graduation ceremony.
Ms. Laura took the mike, quieting the audience, "Well, let's get straight to the point. Tonight's winner is CABIN 6, THE CHERRY WOLF ALL STARS!"
A unified scream filled the air, everyone was cheering.
They 'poured' out of their seats in one continuous wave and soon, were on the stage. One of Tomoyo's bodyguards was down there, with a camera ready. They struck a pose quickly, in the back row (All this is in order from the camerawoman's POV from left to right) Nakuru, Touya and Yukito were standing in a row with Sakura and Syaoran on their shoulders, their right and left hands respectively holding the trophy up high, the other two hands clutching Nakuru's and Yukito's for support. Kara, Lara, Tara, Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, Meiling, Tomoyo, Eriol, Fuji, Ryu, Satoshi, Takashi, Xi Ling, Xi Lang and Xi Long made up the front row, kneeling on their left foot with a bent right knee.
There was a flash, and then it was all over.
There. Done. FINALLY. Hope you guys enjoyed it. And no. This is not the last chappie. I still have the next morning and the epilogue, part of which will form the sequel's prologue, to do and THEN I'm done. Well, for now, Ja! And by the way, a pox on Valentine's Day and a pox on St. Valentine. I am so SICK of couples sticking right up your nose doing all that kissy stuff. UGH! And all a friend and I had to do after Air Rifle practice was to walk from Tampines Interchange to the basement of Tampines Mall, wait a few minutes while we eat and out again towards Century Square to count a hundred and fifty couples, not including those with kids, those from the generation before ours, those we couldn't bother with after reaching a hundred and fifty about ten metres from the exit of TM and the hundreds that we missed.
