Chapter 2: The Concert in Central Park – Part One
The day of the big concert came and Kayla, Ryo, Sage, Cye, and Kento tried to wade their way through the crowd to find a good spot. It had taken some doing, but Kayla finally convinced the guys to go. "Why are we here?" Kento finally asked with some agitation in his voice.
"We're here to meet an old high school friend of Kayla's." Cye said in a very informative voice "She's supposed to meet us here in Central Park then take us on a tour of the city."
"Well if these idiots don't stop bumping into me I'm going to kill the next person who does." Kento muttered under his breath as a young man bumped into him and kept walking toward the stage. "HEY YOU JERK, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!" Kento roared as Sage and Cye immediately restrained their enraged friend and watched the blue haired stranger disappear into the crowd.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO CENTRAL PARK. IN A FEW MOMENTS, AMERICA'S NEWEST ROCK STAR, THE 'SKY BLUE PHOENIX' WILL BE JOINING US SO MAKE HER FEEL WELCOME." A thunderous voice boomed over the loudspeaker as the audience began chanting her name.
"SKY BLUE PHOENIX!! SKY BLUE PHOENIX!!"
"Just who is this 'Sky Blue Phoenix' anyways?" Sage asked as Cye put his face in his hands and began massaging his temples. Cye groaned in pain as a wave of pain washed over him that almost brought him to his knees. Noticing this, Kayla immediately went to his side and knelt down by him.
"Hey Cye, are you doing okay?" Kayla asked in concern as she helped him stand and allowed him to lean on her for support.
"The 'Sky Blue Phoenix' is Clara isn't it?" he asked softly as Kayla smiled at him, nodded her head, and held out 2 maximum strength Tylenol.
"Yes, that's who we're meeting here today, but you mustn't tell the guys." Kayla whispered as she handed Cye a coke. "Here take your pills with this, they'll make you feel better."
"Thanks Kayla, I'm glad you came prepared."
As Cye finished speaking, a young woman with silvery light blue hair came out onto the stage as the curtain rose and began singing in perfect Japanese as pictures of the young men flashed on a screen that was lowered as the music started.
I want to change the world
kaze wo kakenukete nanimo osorezu ni
ima yuuki to egao no KAKERA daite
Change my mind
jounetsu tayasazu ni takanaru mirai e
te wo nobaseba kagayakeru hazu sa
It's wonderland
hai-iro no sora no kanata nanika oite kita
kimi wa mayoi nagara
sagashi-tsudzukeru
kimi no kokoro furuete'ta asu no mienai yo
nanimo shinjirarezu mimi wo fusagu
kimi ni deaeta toki hontou no ibasho mitsuketa
nanigenai yasashisa ga koko ni atte
bokura mezameru
I want to change the world
nido to mayowanai kimi to iru mirai
katachi doreba doko made mo toberu sa
Change my mind
jounetsu tayasazu ni shiranai ashita e
tsubasa hiroge hanabatakeru hazu sa
It's wonderland
bokura wa onaji sekai wo oyogi-tsudzukete'ru
tagai no negai e todoku hi made
minna onaji fuan kakaete sasaeaeru yo
tachidomaru shunkan ni mitsumete'ru
kono basho ni iru
I want to change the world
kono te hanasazu ni mimamoru hitomi wo
uketometara nandatte dekiru hazu
Change my mind
hitori ni sasenai minna koko ni iru
donna koto mo tsukinukete ikou
It's wonderland
I want to change the world
kaze wo kakenukete nanimo osorezu ni
ima yuuki to egao no KAKERA daite
Change my mind
jounetsu tayasazu ni takanaru mirai e
te wo nobaseba kagayakeru hazu sa
It's wonderland
