Chapter 8: At the Beginning

"Cat and Kel, come on down!" Hannah called out into the microphone.

Kel and Cat smiled and headed to the front of the stage with mikes in each hand.

Jake tuned to Rose and took her hands.

"Do you want to dance?" He asked.

Rose smiled. "I'd love to."

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on...
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Mmmmmm.

As the last few notes of the song played, Cat put her arms around Kels' shoulders and kissed him. Jake did the same to Rose. There was some whistling in the audience along with the usual cheering.

"Aw, isn't that sweet?" Hannah remarked as Cat and Kel walked back to the platform. "Now, give a round of sound for…"

Spud: waves hand excitedly Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!

Me: chuckles evilly and smiles

Spud: OO gulp
