CHAPTER 12
"The Talent Show"
"I can't believe the Talent Show is on tomorrow night!" Tomoyo said.
"Yeah, I know, it's SO exciting!!!" Yamazaki mocked.
Chiharu swatted his arm playfully. "You hush up" She teased.
"Have you guys sorted out what you're gonna do?" Sakura asked.
"Uh-huh, let's just say...we're gonna astound everyone with our song- writing talents" Syaoran said mischeviously.
"That can't be good" Tomoyo bit her lip.
"Don't worry, our songs are gonna spread a little christmas cheer" Eriol cracked up. The other two laughed. Sakura, Tomoyo and Chiharu looked at each other quizzically.
"Uh, right" Chiharu said.
"So does that mean you'll actually be SINGING the songs?" Sakura asked.
"You got it" Yamazaki answered.
"Oh god" Tomoyo replied.
"We should get some sleep" Chiharu yawned. "Big day tomorrow"
"Yeah..." Syaoran said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(The next day)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How do I look?" Chiharu twirled around.
"Gorgeous!" Sakura and Tomoyo said.
Tomoyo was brushing her hair and sprinkling glitter in it, like the other girls had. They were all wearing the same thing, tight silver shiny flare pants, a silver glittery spaghetti strap top, silver glittery cuffs that went from the wrist to the elbow, silver glittery heeled ankle boots and lots of silver glitter.
"I'm nervous. Oh my god, I'm gonna throw up, outta my way" Sakura said in a rushed tone.
"No, you aren't, take a deep breath" Sakura did. "And let it out slowly. Repeat that" Tomoyo said. After a few minutes, Sakura was fine.
"I'm good now" She said as she let out another breath.
"SAKURA, TOMOYO, CHIHARU, YOU'RE ON!" Mrs. Vale yelled to them.
Some girls and boys ran to backstage. Tomoyo went to the centre of the stage behind the closed curtain. Chiharu and Sakura faced the back either side of their friend. The curtain went up and the notes sailed out of the speakers. Tomoyo took a deep breath and took her microphone to her mouth.
"I can't get out of bed today or get you off my mind
I just can't seem to find a way to leave the love behind I aint trippin, I'm just missin You know what I'm saying, you know what I mean You kept me hangin on a string why you make me cry I tried to give you everything but you just gave lies I aint trippin, I'm just missin you You know what I'm saying, you know what I mean yeah" She sang.
Chiharu and Sakura spun around and joined in.
"Every now and then when I'm all alone
I'll be wishing you would call me on the telephone Say you want me back but you never do I feel like such a fool There's nothin I can do I'm such a fool for you
I can't take it What am I waiting for My heart's still breakin I miss you even more And I can't fake it The way I could before I hate you, but I love you I can't stop thinkin of you It's true I'm stuck on you
Now loves a broken record that's been skippin in my head I keep singin yesterday, Why we gots ta play these games we play I aint trippin, I'm just missin you You know what I'm saying, you know what I mean yeah Every now and then when I'm all alone I'll be wishing you would call me on the telephone Say you want me back but you never do I feel like such a fool
I can't take it What am I waiting for My heart's still breakin I miss you even more And I can't fake it The way I could before I hate you, but I love you I can't stop thinkin of you It's true I'm stuck on you
Every now and then when I'm all alone I'll be wishing you would call me on the telephone Say you want me back but you never do I feel like such a fool There's nothin I can do I'm such a fool for you
I can't take it What am I waiting for My heart still breakin I miss you even more And I can't fake it The way I could before I hate you, but I love you I can't stop thinkin' of you It's true I'm stuck on you..."
The girls struck their finishing pose and the music faded. A huge applause spread throughout the room. Whistles and yells could be heard from every direction. They flashed flirtacious smiles across the room. Tomoyo, Sakura and Chiharu emerged from backstage five minutes later, all cleaned up. Tomoyo was wearing light blue sketchers, black lycra jazz pants and a hooded jacket the same shade as her shoes. Sakura had beige capris, pink slip-ons and a pink and white top on. Chiharu had an ankle-length cargo skirt, sneakers and a blue tube top. They sat down at the front, just in time for Syaoran, Yamazaki and Eriol's act.
The stage had christmas stuff all over it. The boys were in different costumes. Eriol was an elf, complete with the funny ears and hat, Syaoran was Santa, pillows stuffed in his belly and Yamazaki was a reindeer, and looked really funny in antlers. A jingle bells tune came on and they began to sing -
"Dashing through the snow in my rusty Chevrolet. Down the road I go, sliding all the way. I need new piston rings. I need some new snow tires. My car is held together by a piece of chicken wire! Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away. I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay. The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay. Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
I went to IGA to get some Christmas cheer. I just passed up my left front tire and it's gettin' hard to steer. Speeding down the highway, right past the county cops. I have to drag my swampers just to get the car to stop.
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away. I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay. The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay. Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
Bouncing through the snowdrifts in a big, blue cloud of smoke. People laugh as I drive by; I wonder what's the joke! I have to get to Wal-Mart to pick up my layaway, Cause Santa's comin' soon in his big, old, rusty sleigh!
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away. I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay. The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay. Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusttttttttty Chevroooooooleeeeeet!"
Everyone laughed and applauded at the same time.
"Thank-you, Now for our last song!" Yamazaki said into the mike.
Deck the halls came on, but this time, they were singing in parts instead of all together.
"Deck the malls this Christmas season, fa la la la la, la la la la" Yamazaki sang.
"Blow your cash for no good reason, fa la la la la, la la la la" Eriol sang.
"Push your charge card to it's limit, fa la la, la la la, la la la" Syaoran added.
"Your check book now has nothing in it. fa la la la la, la la la la......" They finished.
The crowd erupted in applause and whistles. Chiharu, Tomoyo and Sakura whistled and applauded the most.
