Okay, a few notes for your enjoyment! I am simply borrowing Avril's name, not using the singer herself. This Avril is a sixteen year-old wizard and Zoe is also a wizard, though two years older. I'm going to do a few introductory duets to let you get to know the characters better, then I will start the REAL action. LP is the abbreviation for Lone Power.
If you have any suggestions for songs, please give the idea to me and I will do my best to work it in.
This song is called 'Goodbye, Goodnight' and is by Jars of Clay.

(Avril and Zoe are hanging out at Avril's house after school one day…)
Avril: Why haven't they sent me on my ordeal yet, Zoe? I'm ready as I could ever be!
Zoe: (Shrugs) I dunno. Maybe it just takes time. . .
Avril: I see. It's just that I'm so tired of seeing people die and knowing that I could be doing something about it! I want to do something major before it's my time. . .
A Flower for your vanity
A penny for your thoughts
About the world's insanity
And how we've gotten lost
Zoe:
Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye
Both:
Goodbye, oh Goodbye
Zoe: I know how you feel, Avril. But sometimes we have to grin and bear it.
Avril: (Looks off to one side) One of these days, I swear I'm going to finish my Ordeal. No matter who or what gets in my way.
Zoe:
Say a prayer for recognition
Kiss the ones you love
Gather up the ammunition
Sigh
for all the lost
Avril:
Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by
And
fake a smile as we all say goodbye
Both:
Goodbye, oh Goodbye
(The scene fades to a darkened room, where the Lone Power is watching their conversation)
LP:
Raise a glass for ignorance
Drink a toast to fear
The beginning of the end has come
That's
why we all are here
(Split
scene showing all three of them)
All:
Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye
Goodbye, oh Goodbye

Well, how was that for foreshadowing? I promise it gets wackier soon! Please review, feedback is always wonderful!
