(A small gift for my friends and fans, two songs all in one chapter. This will be the last chapter as well.)
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except for sorrow.
Walking away from my mind
X was happy for Axl, he not only sang beautifully, but he was reunited with Red after all this time. He was also happy for Layer and Zero getting together. However, his happiness was no longer with him. You see, he and Alia had a fight about a few days ago, over their relationship. X kind've over reacted a bit, as well as Alia, and they haven't been talking to each other since. Zero and Axl are right now trying to figure out how to get them back together.
X: "Any idea on how to say I'm sorry to her?"
Axl: "Why not just flat out say it?"
X: "One, I'm not the type to say sorry and Two, she started it."
Axl: sweatdrop "I would have expected that from Zero."
Zero: "Watch it Ax, I'm the one training you to be a maverick hunter, remember?"
Axl: "Sorry...wait, I got it."
X: "You do?"
Axl explained to X what he should do and what to say to Alia. X was a little nervous about this, but he didn't have a better idea so he went with it. Steve then walked onto the stage, ready to announce the next singer.
Steve: "Hello everybody, we have only two singers left on the list and from what I can tell, they look like a happy couple."
Steve: "Lets give a round of applause for our first of the two singers, Megaman X!"
The audience gave a thunderous applause for the famous Maverick Hunter, even Red himself. X just got up from the table and walk up to Steve, spoke to him for a bit, then went p on stage. Instead of the music playing, X pulled out a guitar, saying he would be playing the main instrument for the song he was going to sing. He started out using a small rhythm on the guitar, and then started to sing.
(The song is If You Could Read My Mind-by Gordon Lightfoot)
If you read my mind luv,
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie,
'Bout a ghost from a whishin well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet!
You know that ghost is me.
And I will never be set free, as long as I'm a ghost, you can't see.
If I could read you mind luv,
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paperback novel,
The kind the drugstores sell.
When you reach the part where the heartaches comes,
The hero would be me!
Heroes often fail
You won't read that book again because the ending is just too hard to take.
There was a slight pause for a fiddle and guitar solo, while Alia was still trying to figure out why he was singing this song. Then, X started again.
I'd walk away like a movie star,
Who gets burned in a three-way script!
Enter number two.
A movie queen to play the scene,
Of bringing all the good things out in me,
But for now luv, lets be real,
I never thought could act this way,
And I got to say that I just don't get it!
I don't know where we went wrong, but the feelings gone
And I just can't get back
If you could read my mind luv,
What a tale my thoughts could tell,
Just like an old time movie,
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well,
In a Castle dark or a fortress strong,
With chains upon my feet!
Stories always end,
If you read between the lines,
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand!
The feelings that you left,
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it!
I don't know where we went wrong, but the feelin's gone
And I just can't get it back!
Thus X's song ended with a small guitar solo. Everyone was in awe about the song even Zero. Alia then got the message just like that (author snaps his fingers), that song was meant for her, about the fight she and X had a few days ago. After a few minutes of silence, the audience was clapping for this song that they never heard before. As X walked off the stage, Steve came up announcing that Alia was the last one for the evening. Alia got up, brushed her hair back, and walked up to the stage.
After a small talk with Steve she walked onto the stage, grabbed the mic and started to sing.
(The song is called Simple and Clean-by Utada Hikaru)
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
'Please, oh baby, don't go!'
Simple and clean is the way that your making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
(pause)
Your giving me, too many things lately
Your all I need, oh oh, you smiled at me, and said
'Don't get me wrong I love you, but does that mean I have to meet your father?'
When we are older you'll understand what I meant when I said no!
I don't think life is quite that simple.
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
'Please, oh baby, don't go!'
Simple and clean is the way that your making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
So simple and clean...
The daily things, like this that and what is what
That keeps us all busy,
Are confusing me, that's when you came to me and said,
'Wish I could prove I love you, but does that mean I have to walk on water?'
When we are older you'll understand it's enough when I say so
And maybe, some things are that simple!
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
'Please, oh baby, don't go!'
Simple and clean is the way that your making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
Hold me!
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on,
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothings like before
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
'Please, oh baby, don't go!'
Simple and clean is the way that your making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
Hold me!
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on,
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothings like before
Hold me!
Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on,
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothings like before!
The song started to fade away when X ran up to the stage, and stood before Alia. X then grasped Alia's hand in his and bent down onto one knee. He looked up at Alia and started to talk.
X: "Alia, could you ever forgive me for what happened?"
Alia: smiles "X, I have long forgiven you, but can you forgive me for bringing up that conversation?"
X then gets up on both feet and smiles at Alia.
X: "I always can, my love."
X then leans in and gives Alia a kiss on the lips. Alia is shocked a little bit, but then starts to kiss back. There were many shouts from the audience about this lovely moment, even some of the girls were crying because it was so beautiful. Alia and X walked back to they're table while Steve walked back up to the stage. Steve grabbed the mic from the stand and started his announcement.
Steve: sniff "That was very touching, but now, I'm afraid that the karaoke night is over, so everyone, have a good night and come back next time."
As the hunters leave the building, they all smiled and started chatting about what they have to do for tomorrow. Later on, Red and Axl were accepted as maverick hunters, one in X's unit and the other in Zero's unit. They went back to the club from time to time, talking and singing, but mostly having a great time.
THE END
That's it, it's over. I might write a sequel if I get enough reviews, but until then, I will be working on my other story and maybe, just maybe, I'll add a new one just for the heck of it.
Ja Ne!
