Flashback from the last chapter...
"Maybe we should – " the boy began.
"SILENCE!" the icy cold voice rang out in the room, chilling everyone to the bone.
The boy fell silent immediately, after his master's call.
"Their emotions are erupting fast, especially the boy. I need to do something and fast..."
"You can count on me, Master," said Luke, bowing his head to him.
"You?" he asked, laughing coldly. "How many times have to managed to let them escape?"
"I've got the perfect plan, Master."
"Fine. This is your last chance. I'll give you one week, no more, no less."
"One week is just right..."
Chapter 27
-A Week later-
"Oh my gosh!" exclaimed Tomoyo for the thousandth time. "I'm so friggin' nervous!"
"Shut up already, Tomo!" cried Meiling. "Everyone's nervous!"
"Yeah!" piped in Sakura, laughing. "Calm down!"
"I can't!" cried Tomoyo, pulling on her hair. "AH!"
"I can't stand you anymore!" cried Eriol, going frantic. He clicked his fingers and suddenly, Tomoyo's voice was gone.
Her lips moved furiously, mouthing: You're dead, Hiiragazawa! Give me back my voice!
Eriol shook his head.
"No way!"
Tomoyo stepped forward and put her hands around his neck and started to strangle him.
"GAH! TOMOYO!" gasped Eriol. "YOU'RE CHOKING ME!"
Tomoyo was still blabbing on angrily, but with no sound coming out. Her face was red with fury. Eriol managed to click his fingers once more.
"– HOW DARE YOU, HIIRAGIZAWA! I HATE YOU! I – Oh! I got my voice back!" Tomoyo's hands loosened around Eriol's neck and fell to her side.
Eriol put his own hands around his neck and massaged them.
"Jeez woman...you sure have a strong grip..."
Tomoyo crossed her arms.
"Humph!" she said with her back towards Eriol. "You deserved it!"
"Whatever..."
They met up with the other grand finalists and stood backstage, waiting for the host to do the opening speech.
Everyone in their year level crowded into good seats in front of the stage. No one seemed to notice that TWO people were missing from the crowd. (I'm not saying who...take your guess!)
"ALOHA!" screamed the host.
The teachers had hired a new one, since we ...umm...all know what happened to the old one, so now we have a replacement host!
Anyway, back to the story...The audience clapped and cheered. A few students whistled loudly, while others chanted for the competition to commence.
"TODAY, YOU ALL HAVE THE PLEASURE OF WITNESSING OUR FOUR FINALIST GROUPS PERFORM THEIR LAST SONGS!"
The crowd cheered again.
"PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO PINK SPARKS, THE FIESTY THREE, THE ELITE THREE AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, THE TRIPLETS!"
The four finalist groups stepped out onto the stage, as the bright light focused on them.
"ALL OF THESE GROUPS HAVE ALL PRACTICED AND REHEARSED AND PRACTICED AND REHEARSED FOR THE PAST WEEK, SO PREPARE TO SEE THEM PERFORM THE BEST THEY POSSIBLY CAN!"
Everyone clapped again.
"WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE PERFORM FIRST?" yelled the host, engaging the audience's attention with ease.
The audience shouted a mix of all the groups' names. The noise was absolutely deafening.
"TOO LATE!" cried the new host. "THE ORDER HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED! FIRST UP, THE ELITE THREE WITH BREAKING THE HABIT!" (A song suggested by a reviewer! You know who you are!)
The audience went mad with cheering, as Syaoran, Eriol and Yamazaki walked into the spotlight.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
(unless I try to start again)
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this
I'll never be alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight
(Sorry, I'm not putting in too much detail right now...I'm not feeling too well, so I feel very lazy! Gomen nesai!)
The crowd cheered wildly, especially some of the girls. The three guys took a small bow and exited the stage.
"DID YOU ENJOY THAT?" shouted the host.
"YES!" chanted back the audience.
"GOOD, COZ HERE'S THE NEXT GROUP – PINK SPARKS WITH FOREVER!"
Meiling, Tomoyo and Sakura nervously entered the stage. The spotlight focused on them and the music started.
Here we are so what you gonna do

They can say what they wanna say

Come on baby we ain't gonna live forever
Let me show you all the things that we could do
You know I wanna be together
And I wanna spend the night with you

Come on baby we ain't gonna live forever
Let me show you all the things that we could do
You know I wanna be together
And I wanna spend the night with you
With you
Come with me tonight
We could make the night last forever
Sakura, Meiling and Tomoyo waved at the audience, making them cheer like there was no end. Then they ran off again.
"NEXT UP!" cried the host. "THE TRIPLETS WITH HOLIDAY!"
Say, Hey!
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
(Hey!)
(Say, Hey!)
"The representative from California has the floor"
Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
The audience cheered and clapped.
"ANOTHER GREAT PERFORMANCE! NOW FOR OUR FINAL PERFORMANCE, WE HAVE THE FEISTY THREE WITH BOYFRIEND!"
Chiharu, Naoko and Rika stepped onto stage and began singing.
What'cha been doin' What'cha been doin?
Whoa, whoa
Haven't seen ya 'round
How you been feelin' How you been feelin'?
Whoa, whoa
Don't you bring me down
All that stuff about me
Being with him
Can't believe
All the lies that you told
Just to ease your own soul
But I'm bigger than that
No, you don't have my back
No, no, ha
CHORUS:
Hey, how long 'till the music drowns you out
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long 'till you face what's goin' on
Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Well I'm sorry
That he called me
And that I answered the telephone
Don't be worried
I'm not with him
And when I go out tonight
I'm going home alone
Just got back from my tour
I'm a mess girl for sure
All I want is some fun
Guess that I'd better run
Hollywood sucks you in
But it won't spit me out
Whoa whoa ha
CHORUS
Please stop telling all your friends
I'm getting sick of them
Always staring at me like I took him from ya'
CHORUS
Hey, how long till you look at your own life
Instead of looking into mine
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long till you're leaving me alone
Don't you got somewhere to go
I didn't steal your boyfriend
"AND THERE WE GO! OUR FOUR FINALIST GROUPS!"
The other three groups joined Chiharu, Naoko and Rika on the stage.
"WHO DO YOU WANT TO WIN?" screamed the host.
The crowd shouted a mixture of all four groups again. The judges all huddled together, nodding and shaking their heads, debating on which group deserved to be the winners.
"NONE OF THEM!" shouted someone. "OUR GROUP SHOULD'VE WON!"
Another student rolled their eyes.
"AS IF!"
One of the judges faked a loud cough.
"If you'll all excuse me, I have an announcement to make."
Sakura stood on stage nervously, linking arms with Tomoyo and Meiling, who were equally nervous. The guys were a little nervous, but not as nervous as the girls, but they tried not to show it.
Suddenly Sakura felt the world plunge from her and all she saw was black...
TBC
Ooh...I wonder what happened...Oh wait...I'm writing this fan fiction, I know what going to happen! ;; Please review!
