Kimi had it all worked out. In her garage, the drum set was clean and had our band name, Alien Planet, spray painted on the bass drum. The new blue guitar I'd just bought was in its stand. The microphones were finally working. I stood in my new position practicing a few riffs. Then, Kimi came back. She was talking on the phone with Angelica, Susie, and Trisha. They would be here any moment. She said, "They'll be here in a sec, Trisha just had to change out of her volleyball uniform." I asked her, "So where's your lyric book?"
"Right here." She held up a black leather journal.
"Good, so what's the song about?"
"Ah, it's just a little journal entry type thing."
"Aw, can I hear it?"
"Wait till everyone else gets here."
The garage door lifted up. Trisha ran inside and took her place near the lead vocal spot, where Susie went. Angelica sat on the stool behind the drums. Now Kimi was ready. Instead of her usual bass guitar, she asked for mine and played an Oriental melody and began to sing into her microphone.
"...Across the many oceans, there is nothing that can cure
The many mixed emotions, none of which I can be sure
I feel like exploding, 'cause where am I going
But deeper down, with a permanent frown
So...
I feel like nothing's ever okay!
Sinking deeper, every day!
People around me act all cold,
Makes me feel so lonely and old..
And...
Then one day, I found the answer there
I'd never seen this kind of love, hope, care
Because of the way I see my own heart
Now I can love you, never splitting apart...
So...
Now my life is more than okay!
Getting better, every day!
The love I see in you is forever,
Forever...
Forever...
To last and last and last
Till death do we part...
You'll still be in my heart..."

Mouths opened around me. I asked, "What, I told you it wasn't very good!" Susie said, "This is killer material, Kimi! If we can use this in the talent show, we'll totally win!" I wasn't so sure. I heard Joy and her clique (Ariel, Josie, Coral, and Mimi) talking about what they were going to do. Ariel said something about matching outfits. Judges absolutely LOVE those. Josie made a point about dance moves. That's another judge's weak spot. Sounds like the lamest show on earth, but those dorks seem to know what the judges love. Sigh...
a/n: Don't tell me, I know it's a crappy song, but I just made it up. (big stupid grin) So whadd'ya think?
