CRYSTAL POWER
I don't own CCS or the songs, but I do own this story and the new chapters so don't sue me!!
Thanks to all those who reviewed and sent e-mails for the songs and ideas!! You guys are the best! ^_^ Also to KawaiiLilBlossom+LilWolf, I have taken your advice into account and I'll try my best to do as you've asked. But I must say that the songs have got a lot to do with the story. So I'll still be putting a good few of them in.

CHAPTER 10 ~ THE CONCERT
Sakura was standing behind a big red curtain, in a long white dress and a brown beaded choker around her neck. As she waited, she reflected on what had led up to this moment.
~ 3 weeks before hand ~
Sakura was lying on top of her bed. She had a piece of paper in her left hand. She picked it up and reread it.
THE SAPPHIRE BLOSSOMS LIVE IN CONCERT!
December 14th 5.00pm we will welcome the Sapphire Blossoms on a never to be repeated performance with the lead singer, none other than Kinomoto Sakura, the top singer from Tomeda High. With her fellow singers: Tomoyo, Eriol, Naoko, Rika, Chiharu, and Li. (Sorry but I don't know how to spell their last names! ^_^ ;;) In a 2 ½ hour concert, you'll be crazy to miss this incredible show! Be there!
She laid her hand back on the bed as she counted down the days till she would be singing in front of a live audience. She was getting quite nervous. They had all been very busy with the preparations, and Kai continued to provide them information on the Terumi situation. Everything was going according to schedule, but it was a lot of hard work. She and Tomoyo had been writing lots of songs, and new versions of old ones. They were rehearsing almost 5 days a weeks and it was starting to take its toll.
~ Present time ~
Sakura looked back at her friends adjusting their clothes one final time before they were to go out and sing. She looked at Syaoran, who looked quite calm. She smiled when he looked her way. He gave her a thumbs up and continued to get the final touches done.
Slow music began to play as the curtains came up and the lights came on. They were only dim lights to make it more dramatic. The audience clapped and cheered enthusiastically. Sakura had her head down, like she did in rehearsal, and stayed in position as she started to sing when the music stopped. She wore a pink, below the knee length dress with long sleeves. She looked up as she sang slow and soft.
I'm so excited. And I just~ can't hide it. I'm about to lose control~, and I think I like it.
The music starts and the lights come on bright and strong. They start dancing with the music.
Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen, Tonight we'll put all other things aside. Give in this time and show me some affection, We're going for those pleasures in the night.
I want to love you, feel you, Wrap myself around you. I want to squeeze you, please you, I just can't get enough. And if you move real slow, I'll let it go.
I'm so excited, And I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control, And I think I like it. I'm so excited, And I just can't hide it, And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you, want you.
(A/N Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu, and Naoko are singing along with the chorus)
We shouldn't even think about tomorrow, Sweet memories will last a long, long time. We'll have a good time baby don't you worry, And if we're still playing around boy that's just fine.
Let's get excited, And we just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. I'm so excited, And I just can't hide it, And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you, want you. (Repeat)
The song ends and the crowd clap 'excitedly'. (^_~)
"Hello everyone, how are you all doing?" she asked the crowd. "Good?" she asked. The crowd yells in response. "Thanks so much for coming; I hope you enjoy the concert!" Suddenly you hear footsteps and Chiharu comes out to meet Sakura, Melin, Naoko and Tomoyo who had already gotten out there. Sakura, Melin, Naoko, and Tomoyo rip off their dress to find that they're wearing smaller, sexier dresses underneath. They were all Sapphire Blue and above the knees. When Chiharu comes out (Who has already taken off her other dress) she laughs.
Ha ha ha ha ha,
Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
(Tomoyo)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
(Chiharu)
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
(Tomoyo)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
(Chiharu)

(Sakura)
If you wanna get with me better make it fast,
(Naoko)

(Chiharu)

(All)
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever, friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is,
(Melin)
What do you think about that? Now you know how I feel,
(Sakura)
Say you can handle my love, are you for real?
(Melin)
I won't be hasty; I'll give you a try,
(Naoko)
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye,
(Chiharu)
Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
(Tomoyo)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
(Chiharu)
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah,
(All)
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is,
(Melin)
So here's a story from A to Z, you wanna get with me you gotta listen carefully, We got Em in the place, who likes it in your face, We got G like MC who likes it on an,
(Chiharu)
Easy V doesn't come for free; she's a real lady, And as for me, you'll see,
(All)
Slam your body down and wind it all around, Slam your body down and wind it all around,
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is,
If you wanna be my lover,
(Chiharu)
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, slam, slam, slam, slam,
(All except Chiharu)
Slam your body down and wind it all around,

(Chiharu)
Huh, huh, huh, huh,
(All except Chiharu)
Slam your body down and wind it all around,
(Chiharu)
Slam your body down zigazig ah,
(All)
If you wanna be my lover.
(Did I get you confused there? I think I got it right. Sakura is Baby Spice, Melin is Sporty, Chiharu is Scary, Naoko is Posh, and Tomoyo is Ginger. Hope that clears things up a bit!)
The lights grow dim as the next song starts.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
Turn the beat around,
Love to hear percussion,
Turn it upside down,
Love to hear percussion,
Love to hear it,
Blow horns you sure sound pretty,
Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty,
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin',
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action, so,
Woah yeah,
Turn the beat around,
Love to hear percussion,
Turn it upside down,
Love to hear percussion,
Love to hear it,
Turn the beat around,
Love to hear percussion,
Turn it upside down,
Love to hear percussion,

Flute player play your flute 'cause,
I know that you want to get your thing off,
But you see I've made up my mind about it,
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah, woah,
'Cause when the guitar player starts playing,
With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch,
Makes me wanna move my body yeah, yeah, yeah,
And when the drummer starts beating that beat,
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm,
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey,
Turn the beat around,
Love to hear percussion,
Turn it upside down,
Love to hear percussion,
Love to hear it,

(Next song)
Do you still remember how we used to be? Feeling together, believe in whatever, My love had said to me,
Both of us were dreamers, Young love in the sun, Felt like my Savior, my spirit I gave you, We'd only just begun,
Hasta mañana, Always be mine,
Viva Forever, I'll be waiting, Everlasting, like the sun, Live forever, for the moment, Ever searching for the sun,
Yes I still remember every whispered word, The touch of your skin giving life from within, Like a love song that I'd heard,
Slipping through our fingers, like the sands of time, Promises made, every memory saved, Has reflections in my mind,
Hasta mañana, Always be mine,
Viva Forever, I'll be waiting, Everlasting, like the sun, Live forever, for the moment, Ever searching for the sun,
But we're all alone now, was it just a dream, Feelings unfold; they will never be sold, And the secret's safe with me,
Hasta mañana, Always be mine,
Viva forever, I'll be waiting, Everlasting, like the sun, Live forever for the moment, Ever searching for the sun,
They all go back stage for a 5 minute break. "Syaoran, you're up next.you nervous?" asked Sakura as she took a glass of water. "Yeah, a little, but I think I'll do ok" he replied. "Ganbatte Kudasai Syaoran" said Sakura before she went back out on stage.
~ 5 Minutes later ~
Syaoran comes out into the spotlight as the music begins. Sakura is now a background singer with the rest.
Sugar, sugar,
She sits alone waiting for suggestions, He's so nervous avoiding all the questions, His lips are dry; her heart is gently pounding, Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, Come on sugar let me know. If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on honey tell me so, Tell me so baby,
He's acting shy looking for an answer, Come on honey let's spend the night together, Now hold on a minute before we go much further, Give me a dime so I can phone my mother, They catch a cab to his high rise apartment, At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant,
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, Come on honey tell me so, If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on sugar let me know,
His heart's beating like a drum, 'cos at last he's got this girl home, Relax baby now we are alone,
They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing, Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking, Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining, They got each other neither one's complaining, He say's I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee, Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie,
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, Come on sugar let me know, If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on honey tell me so,
If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on sugar let me know, If you really, really, really, really need me, Just let me know, Just reach out and touch me, If you really want me, Just reach out and touch me, Come on sugar let me know, If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on sugar let me know, If you, if you, if you really need me, Just come on and tell me so,
(Song ends)
"Hi everyone thanks for coming" spoke Syaoran in the microphone. "How about we jazz things up a bit eh?"
Are you ready Eriol? Uh-huh,
Tomoyo? Yeah,
Sakura? Okay,
Alright then - let's go!
Oh it's been getting so hard,
Living with the things you do to me,
My dreams are getting so strange,
I'd like to tell you everything I see,
Oh and see a man at the back as a matter of fact,
His eyes are as red as the sun,
And the girl in the corner let no one ignore her,
Cause she thinks she's the passionate one,
Oh Yeah! It was like lightning,
Everybody was fighting,
And the music was soothing,
And they all started grooving,
(CHORUS)
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah-Yeah-Yeah,
And the man in the back said everyone attack,
And it turned into a ballroom blitz,
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you,
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz,
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz,
Oh reaching out for something,
Touching nothing's all I ever do,
Oh I softly call you over,
When you appear there's nothing left of you,
And the man in the back is ready to crack,
As he raises his hands to the sky,
And the girl in the corner is everyone's woman,
She could kill you with a wink of her eye,
Oh Yeah! It was electric,
So perfectly hectic,
And the band started leaving,
Cause they all stopped breathing,
(CHORUS Repeat)
(Guitar Solo)
Oh Yeah! It was like lightning,
Everybody was fighting,
And the music was soothing,
And they all started grooving,
(CHORUS Repeat)
It's, it's a ballroom blitz,
It's, it's a ballroom blitz,
It's, it's a ballroom blitz,
Yeah! It's a ballroom blitz.
"This next song I'm gonna sing I'd like to dedicate to my lovely fiancé Kinomoto Sakura" said Syaoran. Sakura blushed a bright pink as whistles were heard from the crowd.
Tonight I wanna give it all to you, In the darkness, There's so much I wanna do, And tonight I wanna lay it at your feet, 'Cause girl, I was made for you, And girl, you were made for me,
(Chorus)
I was made for loving you, baby, You were made for loving me, And I can't get enough of you, baby, Can you get enough of me?
Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes, Feel the magic, There's something that drives me wild, And tonight, we're gonna make it all come true, 'Cause girl, you were made for me, And girl, I was made for you,
(Chorus)
I was made for lovin' you, baby, You were made for lovin' me, And I can give it all to you, baby, Can you give it all to me?
I was made, You were made, And I can't get enough, No I can't get enough...
(Next song)

(Next song)
Everybody was kung-fu fighting,
Those cats were fast as lightning,
In fact it was a little bit frightening,
But they fought with expert timing,
They were funky China men from funky Chinatown,
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down,
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part,
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip,
Everybody was kung-fu fighting,
Those cats were fast as lightning,
In fact it was a little bit frightening,
But they fought with expert timing,
There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung,
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on,
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand,
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip,
Everybody was kung-fu fighting,
Those cats were fast as lightning,
In fact it was a little bit frightening,
But they did it with expert timing,
(repeat)
..Make sure you have expert timing,
Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning,
The lights go out once again as they all make their way backstage for another 5 minute break.
~ After the break ~
"Are you all enjoying yourselves?" Syaoran asked the crowd. The crowd yells out 'Yes'. "That's good.now I'd like my fiancé to come up here and help me sing this song" Sakura moves over to Syaoran in the spotlight. "Alright, ya'll ready?" he asked the crowd. They all yell. "Ok" The music begins.
(Hope all you guys out there don't mind a bit of Meatloaf!) (Syaoran)
And I would do anything for love, I would run right into hell and back, I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, -Oh no - no way - And I would do anything for love, Oh I would do anything for love! I would do anything for love, But I won't do that; No, no I won't do that.
(Music builds up.like drums and electric guitars come in now and before only a keyboard was playing)
Some days it don't come easy, Some days it don't come hard, Some days it don't come at all, And these are the days that never end.
And some nights you breathe fire, And some nights you're carved in ice, Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before, or will again.
(Music slows)
And maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true, I know you can save me; No one else can save me now but you.
(Music builds)
As long as the planets are turning, As long as the stars are burning, As long as your dreams are coming true - You better believe it! -
(Music slows again)
That I would do anything for love, And I'll be there til the final act - And I would do anything for love, And I'll take a Vow and Seal a pact - But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way - Tonight - And I would do anything for love! But I won't do that, No I wont do that...
(The music builds here)
I would do anything for love, Anything you've been dreaming of, But I just won't do that... (Repeat)
And some days I pray for Silence, And some days I pray for Soul, Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N' Roll.
(The music slows down)
And maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be, There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep.
(The music builds again)
As long as the wheels are turning, As long as the fires are burning, As long as your prayers are coming true - You better believe it - !
That I would do anything for love! And you know it's true and that's a fact! I would do anything for love! And there'll never be no turning back -!
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, So long - So long - And I would do anything for love! Oh I would do anything for love! I would do anything for love! But I won't do that, No, no, no I won't do that,
(Music slows)
(Sakura)
Will you raise me up? Will you help me down? Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town? Will you make it a little less cold?
(Syaoran)
I can do that! Oh no, no, I can do that!
(Music builds once again)
(Sakura)
Will you cater to every fantasy that I've got? Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot - ? Will you take me to places that I've never known?
(Syaoran)
Now I can do that! Oh no, no I can do that!
(Music slows.again!)
(Sakura)
I know the territory - I've been around, It'll all turn to dust, and we'll all fall down! Sooner or later you'll be screwing around.
(Syaoran)
I won't do that! No I won't do that, Anything for love, But I won't do that~
(Song ends.I love that song! Thanks Jess for asking for it! In the next song Syaoran is singing [] bits, Sakura is singing the parts without brackets around them, and Tomoyo is singing * * bits)
(Sakura's singing here)
From the day that we were born, we've been heading down a track,
Sometimes it's made for good, sometimes for bad,
But if we look behind us, there's a wave coming down,
Carrying us forward to a new age,
[What about the world?]
What about the world around us? [What about the world?] *What about the earth?*
How can we fail to see? [What about the world?] *Ahh, haa*
And now that our fathers have gone, *ahh, haa*
And we've been left to carry on,
What about the age of reason,
So why can't we be still, why can't we love each other?
Is kindness an ancient skill, buried by our blindness?
And if we look behind us, there's a wind blowing in,
To create the age, of reason,
(Chorus)
If we consider carefully, the options put before us,
So much wisdom so much love, so much waiting for us,
And if we look ahead, there's the sun and the seasons,
Another day, another age of reason,
(Chorus, repeat, and fade)
"Alright, you all know the next two songs I'll be singing, so I want you to help me sing them ok?" Sakura asked. "Alright here we go"
When I lost faith,
You believed in me,
When I stumbled,
You were right there,
For every act of love you've done,
I owe you one,
There were hard times,
I know I survived,
Just because you stayed by my side,
With all I have, with all I am,
I promise you all my life,
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong,
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you,
I will be there for you,
Through sorrow,
Or the darkest night,
When there's heartache,
Deep down inside,
Just like a prayer, you will be there,
And I promise you all my life,
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong,
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you,
I will be there for you,
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong,
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you,
I will be there for you,
I'll always be there,
(Thanks Super Sakura Kinomoto for requesting that one, It's a really great song!)
Eriol, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Naoko, Rita, Chiharu, and Melin start clapping to give the music a kick start.
We have, the chance to turn the pages over, We can write what we wanna write, We gotta make ends meet before we get much older.
We're all someone's daughter, We're all someone's son, How long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, Try and understand it, Make a noise and make it clear, Oh-woh. We're not gonna sit in silence, We're not gonna live with fear, Oh-woh.
This time, you know we all can stand together, With the power to the powerful, Believing we can make it better.
Ohh, we're all someone's daughter, We're all someone's son, How long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun~!?
(Chorus then bag pipe solo)
Ohh, we're all someone's daughter, We're all someone's son, How long can we look at each other down the barrel of a gun~!?
(Chorus 2x)
Sakura speaks while the others are singing.
"Your turn" (The music stops abruptly as the crowd continues)
You're the voice try and..
(Crowd sings)
Understand it, Make a noise and make it clear,
(Sakura)
"Come on!"
(Crowd)
Ohh~
(Sakura)
"Big one!"
(Crowd)
Woh!
(Sakura)
Yeah, yeah,
(All, crowd and singers)
We're not gonna sit in silence, We're not gonna live with fear, Ohh~woh~~
(Chorus) The music kicks in again and they all continue to sing.
(Sakura sings while they others are singing the chorus)
We're not gonna sit in silence! We're not gonna live with fear~!
Well you're the voice, try and understand, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Song Ends)
"Please thank my fellow singers.aren't they just the best?! Thank you all I love ya! Good night!" Sakura said as she and the rest of the singers bow at the front of the stage. Then they finally walk off stage; the crowd still clapping after them.
So? Long enough? 24 pages! I don't believe it! Although the songs took up a lot of space but still, this is the longest thing I have ever written! I know there's a lot of songs and not much of the story here, but it's a concert, you've gotta have songs! What good is a concert if there's not going to be many songs?! There's going to be a hell of a lot more action and drama real soon so don't go away. I'll be updating as soon as possible, but it might be a few weeks before I do cause I've got a lot of things I wanna do. Oh and don't forget to R+R!!!!!! I luv ya'll! If you've got any questions or queries, e-mail or review me and I'll get back to you a.s.a.p.
Best Wishes,
~Kitty Blossom.

CHAPTER 10 ~ THE CONCERT
Sakura was standing behind a big red curtain, in a long white dress and a brown beaded choker around her neck. As she waited, she reflected on what had led up to this moment.
~ 3 weeks before hand ~
Sakura was lying on top of her bed. She had a piece of paper in her left hand. She picked it up and reread it.
THE SAPPHIRE BLOSSOMS LIVE IN CONCERT!
December 14th 5.00pm we will welcome the Sapphire Blossoms on a never to be repeated performance with the lead singer, none other than Kinomoto Sakura, the top singer from Tomeda High. With her fellow singers: Tomoyo, Eriol, Naoko, Rika, Chiharu, and Li. (Sorry but I don't know how to spell their last names! ^_^ ;;) In a 2 ½ hour concert, you'll be crazy to miss this incredible show! Be there!
She laid her hand back on the bed as she counted down the days till she would be singing in front of a live audience. She was getting quite nervous. They had all been very busy with the preparations, and Kai continued to provide them information on the Terumi situation. Everything was going according to schedule, but it was a lot of hard work. She and Tomoyo had been writing lots of songs, and new versions of old ones. They were rehearsing almost 5 days a weeks and it was starting to take its toll.
~ Present time ~
Sakura looked back at her friends adjusting their clothes one final time before they were to go out and sing. She looked at Syaoran, who looked quite calm. She smiled when he looked her way. He gave her a thumbs up and continued to get the final touches done.
Slow music began to play as the curtains came up and the lights came on. They were only dim lights to make it more dramatic. The audience clapped and cheered enthusiastically. Sakura had her head down, like she did in rehearsal, and stayed in position as she started to sing when the music stopped. She wore a pink, below the knee length dress with long sleeves. She looked up as she sang slow and soft.
I'm so excited. And I just~ can't hide it. I'm about to lose control~, and I think I like it.
The music starts and the lights come on bright and strong. They start dancing with the music.
Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen, Tonight we'll put all other things aside. Give in this time and show me some affection, We're going for those pleasures in the night.
I want to love you, feel you, Wrap myself around you. I want to squeeze you, please you, I just can't get enough. And if you move real slow, I'll let it go.
I'm so excited, And I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control, And I think I like it. I'm so excited, And I just can't hide it, And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you, want you.
(A/N Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo, Rika, Chiharu, and Naoko are singing along with the chorus)
We shouldn't even think about tomorrow, Sweet memories will last a long, long time. We'll have a good time baby don't you worry, And if we're still playing around boy that's just fine.
Let's get excited, And we just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. I'm so excited, And I just can't hide it, And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you, want you. (Repeat)
The song ends and the crowd clap 'excitedly'. (^_~)
"Hello everyone, how are you all doing?" she asked the crowd. "Good?" she asked. The crowd yells in response. "Thanks so much for coming; I hope you enjoy the concert!" Suddenly you hear footsteps and Chiharu comes out to meet Sakura, Melin, Naoko and Tomoyo who had already gotten out there. Sakura, Melin, Naoko, and Tomoyo rip off their dress to find that they're wearing smaller, sexier dresses underneath. They were all Sapphire Blue and above the knees. When Chiharu comes out (Who has already taken off her other dress) she laughs.
Ha ha ha ha ha,
Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
(Tomoyo)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
(Chiharu)
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
(Tomoyo)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
(Chiharu)

(Tomoyo)
If you want my future forget my past,
(Sakura)
If you wanna get with me better make it fast,
(Naoko)
Now don't go wasting my precious time,
(Tomoyo)
Get your act together we could be just fine,
(Chiharu)

(Tomoyo)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
(Chiharu) I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
(Tomoyo)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
(Chiharu)
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah,
(All)
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever, friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is,
(Melin)
What do you think about that? Now you know how I feel,
(Sakura)
Say you can handle my love, are you for real?
(Melin)
I won't be hasty; I'll give you a try,
(Naoko)
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye,
(Chiharu)
Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
(Tomoyo)
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want,
(Chiharu)
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah,
(All)
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is,
(Melin)
So here's a story from A to Z, you wanna get with me you gotta listen carefully, We got Em in the place, who likes it in your face, We got G like MC who likes it on an,
(Chiharu)
Easy V doesn't come for free; she's a real lady, And as for me, you'll see,
(All)
Slam your body down and wind it all around, Slam your body down and wind it all around,
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is,
If you wanna be my lover,
(Chiharu)
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, slam, slam, slam, slam,
(All except Chiharu)
Slam your body down and wind it all around,
Slam your body down and wind it all around,
(Chiharu)
Huh, huh, huh, huh,
(All except Chiharu)
Slam your body down and wind it all around,
(Chiharu)
Slam your body down zigazig ah,
(All)
If you wanna be my lover.
(Did I get you confused there? I think I got it right. Sakura is Baby Spice, Melin is Sporty, Chiharu is Scary, Naoko is Posh, and Tomoyo is Ginger. Hope that clears things up a bit!)
The lights grow dim as the next song starts.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it upside down,
Turn the beat around,
Love to hear percussion,
Turn it upside down,
Love to hear percussion,
Love to hear it,
Blow horns you sure sound pretty,
Your violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty,
When you hear the scratch of the guitars scratchin',
Then you'll know that rhythm carries all the action, so,
Woah yeah,
Turn the beat around,
Love to hear percussion,
Turn it upside down,
Love to hear percussion,
Love to hear it,
Turn the beat around,
Love to hear percussion,
Turn it upside down,
Love to hear percussion,
Love to hear it,
Flute player play your flute 'cause,
I know that you want to get your thing off,
But you see I've made up my mind about it,
It's got to be the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah, woah,
'Cause when the guitar player starts playing,
With the syncopated rhythm, with the scratch, scratch, scratch,
Makes me wanna move my body yeah, yeah, yeah,
And when the drummer starts beating that beat,
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm,
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat on the drums, hey,
Turn the beat around,
Love to hear percussion,
Turn it upside down,
Love to hear percussion,
Love to hear it,
Love to hear it,
Love to hear it,

(Next song)
Do you still remember how we used to be? Feeling together, believe in whatever, My love had said to me,
Both of us were dreamers, Young love in the sun, Felt like my Savior, my spirit I gave you, We'd only just begun,
Hasta mañana, Always be mine,
Viva Forever, I'll be waiting, Everlasting, like the sun, Live forever, for the moment, Ever searching for the sun,
Yes I still remember every whispered word, The touch of your skin giving life from within, Like a love song that I'd heard,
Slipping through our fingers, like the sands of time, Promises made, every memory saved, Has reflections in my mind,
Hasta mañana, Always be mine,
Viva Forever, I'll be waiting, Everlasting, like the sun, Live forever, for the moment, Ever searching for the sun,
But we're all alone now, was it just a dream, Feelings unfold; they will never be sold, And the secret's safe with me,
Hasta mañana, Always be mine,
Viva forever, I'll be waiting, Everlasting, like the sun, Live forever for the moment, Ever searching for the sun,
They all go back stage for a 5 minute break. "Syaoran, you're up next.you nervous?" asked Sakura as she took a glass of water. "Yeah, a little, but I think I'll do ok" he replied. "Ganbatte Kudasai Syaoran" said Sakura before she went back out on stage.
~ 5 Minutes later ~
Syaoran comes out into the spotlight as the music begins. Sakura is now a background singer with the rest.
Sugar, sugar,
She sits alone waiting for suggestions, He's so nervous avoiding all the questions, His lips are dry; her heart is gently pounding, Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, Come on sugar let me know. If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on honey tell me so, Tell me so baby,
He's acting shy looking for an answer, Come on honey let's spend the night together, Now hold on a minute before we go much further, Give me a dime so I can phone my mother, They catch a cab to his high rise apartment, At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant,
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, Come on honey tell me so, If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on sugar let me know,
His heart's beating like a drum, 'cos at last he's got this girl home, Relax baby now we are alone,
They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing, Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking, Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining, They got each other neither one's complaining, He say's I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee, Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie,
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, Come on sugar let me know, If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on honey tell me so,
If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on sugar let me know, If you really, really, really, really need me, Just let me know, Just reach out and touch me, If you really want me, Just reach out and touch me, Come on sugar let me know, If you really need me just reach out and touch me, Come on sugar let me know, If you, if you, if you really need me, Just come on and tell me so,
(Song ends)
"Hi everyone thanks for coming" spoke Syaoran in the microphone. "How about we jazz things up a bit eh?"
Are you ready Eriol? Uh-huh,
Tomoyo? Yeah,
Sakura? Okay,
Alright then - let's go!
Oh it's been getting so hard,
Living with the things you do to me,
My dreams are getting so strange,
I'd like to tell you everything I see,
Oh and see a man at the back as a matter of fact,
His eyes are as red as the sun,
And the girl in the corner let no one ignore her,
Cause she thinks she's the passionate one,
Oh Yeah! It was like lightning,
Everybody was fighting,
And the music was soothing,
And they all started grooving,
(CHORUS)
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah-Yeah-Yeah,
And the man in the back said everyone attack,
And it turned into a ballroom blitz,
And the girl in the corner said boy I want to warn you,
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz,
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz,
Oh reaching out for something,
Touching nothing's all I ever do,
Oh I softly call you over,
When you appear there's nothing left of you,
And the man in the back is ready to crack,
As he raises his hands to the sky,
And the girl in the corner is everyone's woman,
She could kill you with a wink of her eye,
Oh Yeah! It was electric,
So perfectly hectic,
And the band started leaving,
Cause they all stopped breathing,
(CHORUS Repeat)
(Guitar Solo)
Oh Yeah! It was like lightning,
Everybody was fighting,
And the music was soothing,
And they all started grooving,
(CHORUS Repeat)
It's, it's a ballroom blitz,
It's, it's a ballroom blitz,
It's, it's a ballroom blitz,
Yeah! It's a ballroom blitz.
"This next song I'm gonna sing I'd like to dedicate to my lovely fiancé Kinomoto Sakura" said Syaoran. Sakura blushed a bright pink as whistles were heard from the crowd.
Tonight I wanna give it all to you, In the darkness, There's so much I wanna do, And tonight I wanna lay it at your feet, 'Cause girl, I was made for you, And girl, you were made for me,
(Chorus)
I was made for loving you, baby, You were made for loving me, And I can't get enough of you, baby, Can you get enough of me?
Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes, Feel the magic, There's something that drives me wild, And tonight, we're gonna make it all come true, 'Cause girl, you were made for me, And girl, I was made for you,
(Chorus)
I was made for lovin' you, baby, You were made for lovin' me, And I can give it all to you, baby, Can you give it all to me?
I was made, You were made, And I can't get enough, No I can't get enough...
(Next song)

(Next song)
Everybody was kung-fu fighting,
Those cats were fast as lightning,
In fact it was a little bit frightening,
But they fought with expert timing,
They were funky China men from funky Chinatown,
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down,
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part,
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip,
Everybody was kung-fu fighting,
Those cats were fast as lightning,
In fact it was a little bit frightening,
But they fought with expert timing,
There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung,
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on,
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand,
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip,
Everybody was kung-fu fighting,
Those cats were fast as lightning,
In fact it was a little bit frightening,
But they did it with expert timing,
(repeat)
..Make sure you have expert timing,
Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning,
The lights go out once again as they all make their way backstage for another 5 minute break.
~ After the break ~
"Are you all enjoying yourselves?" Syaoran asked the crowd. The crowd yells out 'Yes'. "That's good.now I'd like my fiancé to come up here and help me sing this song" Sakura moves over to Syaoran in the spotlight. "Alright, ya'll ready?" he asked the crowd. They all yell. "Ok" The music begins.
(Hope all you guys out there don't mind a bit of Meatloaf!) (Syaoran)
And I would do anything for love, I would run right into hell and back, I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, -Oh no - no way - And I would do anything for love, Oh I would do anything for love! I would do anything for love, But I won't do that; No, no I won't do that.
(Music builds up.like drums and electric guitars come in now and before only a keyboard was playing)
Some days it don't come easy, Some days it don't come hard, Some days it don't come at all, And these are the days that never end.
And some nights you breathe fire, And some nights you're carved in ice, Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before, or will again.
(Music slows)
And maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true, I know you can save me; No one else can save me now but you.
(Music builds)
As long as the planets are turning, As long as the stars are burning, As long as your dreams are coming true - You better believe it! -
(Music slows again)
That I would do anything for love, And I'll be there til the final act - And I would do anything for love, And I'll take a Vow and Seal a pact - But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way - Tonight - And I would do anything for love! But I won't do that, No I wont do that...
(The music builds here)
I would do anything for love, Anything you've been dreaming of, But I just won't do that... (Repeat)
And some days I pray for Silence, And some days I pray for Soul, Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N' Roll.
(The music slows down)
And maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be, There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep.
(The music builds again)
As long as the wheels are turning, As long as the fires are burning, As long as your prayers are coming true - You better believe it - !
That I would do anything for love! And you know it's true and that's a fact! I would do anything for love! And there'll never be no turning back -!
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, So long - So long - And I would do anything for love! Oh I would do anything for love! I would do anything for love! But I won't do that, No, no, no I won't do that,
(Music slows)
(Sakura)
Will you raise me up? Will you help me down? Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town? Will you make it a little less cold?
(Syaoran)
I can do that! Oh no, no, I can do that!
(Music builds once again)
(Sakura)
Will you cater to every fantasy that I've got? Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot - ? Will you take me to places that I've never known?
(Syaoran)
Now I can do that! Oh no, no I can do that!
(Music slows.again!)
(Sakura)
I know the territory - I've been around, It'll all turn to dust, and we'll all fall down! Sooner or later you'll be screwing around.
(Syaoran)
I won't do that! No I won't do that, Anything for love, But I won't do that~
(Song ends.I love that song! Thanks Jess for asking for it! In the next song Syaoran is singing [] bits, Sakura is singing the parts without brackets around them, and Tomoyo is singing * * bits)
(Sakura's singing here)
From the day that we were born, we've been heading down a track,
Sometimes it's made for good, sometimes for bad,
But if we look behind us, there's a wave coming down,
Carrying us forward to a new age,
[What about the world?]
What about the world around us? [What about the world?] *What about the earth?*
How can we fail to see? [What about the world?] *Ahh, haa*
And now that our fathers have gone, *ahh, haa*
And we've been left to carry on,
What about the age of reason,
So why can't we be still, why can't we love each other?
Is kindness an ancient skill, buried by our blindness?
And if we look behind us, there's a wind blowing in,
To create the age, of reason,
(Chorus)
If we consider carefully, the options put before us,
So much wisdom so much love, so much waiting for us,
And if we look ahead, there's the sun and the seasons,
Another day, another age of reason,
(Chorus, repeat, and fade)
"Alright, you all know the next two songs I'll be singing, so I want you to help me sing them ok?" Sakura asked. "Alright here we go"
When I lost faith,
You believed in me,
When I stumbled,
You were right there,
For every act of love you've done,
I owe you one,
There were hard times,
I know I survived,
Just because you stayed by my side,
With all I have, with all I am,
I promise you all my life,
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong,
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you,
I will be there for you,
Through sorrow,
Or the darkest night,
When there's heartache,
Deep down inside,
Just like a prayer, you will be there,
And I promise you all my life,
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong,
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you,
I will be there for you,
Whenever the road is too long,
Whenever the wind is too strong,
Wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you,
I will be there for you,
I'll always be there,
(Thanks Super Sakura Kinomoto for requesting that one, It's a really great song!)
Eriol, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Naoko, Rita, Chiharu, and Melin start clapping to give the music a kick start.
We have, the chance to turn the pages over, We can write what we wanna write, We gotta make ends meet before we get much older.
We're all someone's daughter, We're all someone's son, How long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, Try and understand it, Make a noise and make it clear, Oh-woh. We're not gonna sit in silence, We're not gonna live with fear, Oh-woh.
This time, you know we all can stand together, With the power to the powerful, Believing we can make it better.
Ohh, we're all someone's daughter, We're all someone's son, How long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun~!?
(Chorus then bag pipe solo)
Ohh, we're all someone's daughter, We're all someone's son, How long can we look at each other down the barrel of a gun~!?
(Chorus 2x)
Sakura speaks while the others are singing.
"Your turn" (The music stops abruptly as the crowd continues)
You're the voice try and..
(Crowd sings)
Understand it, Make a noise and make it clear,
(Sakura)
"Come on!"
(Crowd)
Ohh~
(Sakura)
"Big one!"
(Crowd)
Woh!
(Sakura)
Yeah, yeah,
(All, crowd and singers)
We're not gonna sit in silence, We're not gonna live with fear, Ohh~woh~~
(Chorus) The music kicks in again and they all continue to sing.
(Sakura sings while they others are singing the chorus)
We're not gonna sit in silence! We're not gonna live with fear~!
Well you're the voice, try and understand, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Song Ends)
"Please thank my fellow singers.aren't they just the best?! Thank you all I love ya! Good night!" Sakura said as she and the rest of the singers bow at the front of the stage. Then they finally walk off stage; the crowd still clapping after them.
So? Long enough? 24 pages! I don't believe it! Although the songs took up a lot of space but still, this is the longest thing I have ever written! I know there's a lot of songs and not much of the story here, but it's a concert, you've gotta have songs! What good is a concert if there's not going to be many songs?! There's going to be a hell of a lot more action and drama real soon so don't go away. I'll be updating as soon as possible, but it might be a few weeks before I do cause I've got a lot of things I wanna do. Oh and don't forget to R+R!!!!!! I luv ya'll! If you've got any questions or queries, e-mail or review me and I'll get back to you a.s.a.p.
Best Wishes,
~Kitty Blossom.
