Sam glanced over at Kay, Nick, Jon, and Leo. They were ready to get started. Kay and Nick had their guitars on and tuned, Jon was already sitting at the drums, and Leo was at his keyboard. Sam put his guitar strap around his shoulder and got ready to play. He got a weird feeling that something would go wrong tonight.
Unfortunately, Kay had more than a feeling that it would go down hill; Fate had told her it would. She didn't know how, but she knew she would find out. Kay had warned Nick, just in case.
The five friends went on stage to the polite applause of the audience. They weren't expecting much, seeing as they were new in town. Sam stepped up to the mike to introduce them.
"Hey, everybody," he said quietly, "we're PARAnormal. I'm Peace-Keeper, Temper is on beat guitar, Jester's on bass, Philosopher on keyboard, and Optimiser on drums. You ready for some awesome music?" More polite applause, slightly more enthusiastic. "Alright!" Kay, Nick, Sam, Leo, and Jon started up the song "Lies" by Click Five.
You told me you loved me So I don't understand Why promises are snapped in two And words are made to burn The bigger the better Some stolen from Japan Collected from around the world They'll catch you if they can
Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah
Do I have to catch you out To know what's on your mind Well Cleopatra died for Egypt What a waste of time The white ones the red ones And some you can't disguise The twisted twos that have the news Cant hide it in your eyes
Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah
Oh you know I knowYou say you'll try harder But I think its just too late Well the car is revving in the drive And I'm not the sort to wait The bigger the better So make them all Sigone Collected from around the world Love lies on and on and on and on and on
Lies Lies Lies Yeah (they're gonna get you) Lies Lies Lies Yeah (they wont forget you) Lies Lies Lies Yeah (oh they're gonna get you) Lies Lies Lies Yeah Oh you know I know Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah Lies Lies Lies Yeah
"Alright, we're gonna switch it up some throughout our show tonight," Sam said, "so next up is Shut Up, Shut Up, Shut Up by Simple Plan."
There you go You're always so right It's all a big show It's all about you You think you know What everyone needs You always take time To criticize me It seems like everyday I make mistakes I just can't get it right It's like I'm the one You love to hate But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up Don't wanna hear it Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way Step up, step up, step up You'll never stop me Nothing you say today Is gonna bring me down
There you go You never ask why It's all a big lie Whatever you do You think you're special But I know, and I know And I know, and we know That you're not You're always there to point Out my mistakes And shove them in my face It's like I'm the one You love to hate But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up Don't wanna hear it Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way Step up, step up, step up You'll never stop me Nothing you say today Is gonna bring me down Is gonna bring me down Will never bring me down
Don't tell me who I should be And don't try to tell me what's right for me Don't tell me what I should do I don't wanna waste my time I'll watch you fade away
So shut up, shut up, shut up Don't wanna hear it Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way Step up, step up, step up You'll never stop me Nothing you say today Is gonna bring me down Shut up, shut up, shut up Don't wanna hear it Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way Step up, step up, step up You'll never stop me Nothing you say today Is gonna bring me down Bring me down shut up, shut up, shut up Won't bring me down shut up, shut up, shut up Bring me down shut up, shut up, shut up Won't bring me down Shut up, shut up, shut up
"Now, I'm sure you all want to hear some newer music, too, right?" Loud applause now. It seemed the audience was really enjoying them. One less hassle with Kay, Sam thought wryly. "Here's a song that I wrote, called Leavin' You."
Knew you so well, so sad you're gone, without you, I don't know how I'll be strong, I can't think 'cause I'm so lonely, now I hope you'll see, you're all I ever wanted, you're all I ever needed, you're all I ever could hope to be
Leavin' you is the worst thing I could imagine, leavin' you, I'd never try it if I dared, leavin' you, no one could ever hope to try, 'cause all I know is how much I cared, I'll never leave you, but you left me
I know you didn't mean it, no way you could prevent it, but you're gone, and I must move on, I can't do this by myself, I need you beside me, I can't go on without you, you're all I want, all I need, all I ever could hope to be
Leavin' you is the worst thing I could imagine, leavin' you, I'd never try it if I dared, leavin' you, no one could ever hope to try, 'cause all I know is how much I cared, I'll never leave you, but you left me
You didn't mean it, you couldn't stop it, no one's love could ever top it, I loved you, but there you go, you left me, it hurts me so, he's the reason why you're gone, but he won't give up 'til he's done, there's more harm he wants to do, but it won't hurt me, nothing can hurt me, 'cause I'm without you,
Leavin' you is something I'll never do, leavin' you, he attacked, and I made it through, leavin' you, I wish you could say it, too, now I'm so blue, you didn't make it through, I'd never leave you, but you, yeah, you, you left me, Leavin' you, I never could if I wanted, leavin' you, our love is gone now, leavin' you, no one could ever hope to try, your love came by, it passed me by, and now I cry, 'cause I could never, I would never, I promise you, you know I'm true, I wouldn't ever dream of leavin' you, but you left me
Kay and Nick noticed that Sam had started to cry in the middle of the song. They never knew what he had written it about, just that it was from his past experiences. Well, from the past two years.
That was another odd thing about Sam. He couldn't remember anything more than two years ago. That's how he got the name Super Amnesia. But, every so often, he got flashes of what did happen to him before then. Unfortunately, they were usually painful memories.
Sam shook his head and announced the next song, Crazy by Simple Plan.
Tell me what's wrong with society When everywhere I look, I see Young girls dying to be on TV They won't stop till they've reached their dreams Diet pills, surgery Photoshopped pictures in magazines Telling them how they should be It doesn't make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy? Is anybody gonna save me? Can anybody tell me what's going on? Tell me what's going on? If you open your eyes You'll see that something is wrong
I guess things are not how they used to be There's no more normal families Parents act like enemies Making kids feel like it's World War III No one cares, no one's there I guess we're all just too d--- busy And money's our first priority It doesn't make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy? Is anybody gonna save me? Can anybody tell me what's going on? Tell me what's going on? If you open your eyes You'll see that something is wrong Is everybody going crazy? Is everybody going crazy?
Tell me what's wrong with society When everywhere I look I see Rich guys driving big SUVs While kids are starving in the streets No one cares No one likes to share I guess life's unfair
Is everybody going crazy? Is anybody gonna save me? Can anybody tell me what's going on? Tell me what's going on? If you open your eyes You'll see that something, something is wrong Is everybody going crazy? Can anybody tell me what's going on? Tell me what's going on? If you open your eyes You'll see that something is wrong
Nick and Kay started arguing in the middle of the song. Apparently, Nick had knocked into her and threw her off-balance. Kay retaliated by shoving him. Sam got between the two and reminded them, "We're in the middle of a gig!"
Both blushed and nodded, signaling Sam to continue with the next song.
Sam, laughed and shook his head, saying, "Our next song is I'm Here Without You by 3 Doors Down."
A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rollin' As the people leave their way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl its only you and me
Everything I know, and anywhere I go It gets hard but it wont take away my love And when the last one falls When it's all said and done It gets hard but it wont take away my love
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl its only you and me
"Next," Sam said, silently crying again, "is another song I wrote, Life Goes On."
You say it's easy, you say it's fun, as if there's no work to be done, you act like nothin' bad ever happened to you, maybe so, but it won't always be true, Bad stuff happens everyday, but you don't care anyway, you think it's perfect, nothin' can go wrong, but when it does, you think that life goes on
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, that's what you're screamin', life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, now I'm here to finally show you that you are so wrong, life goes on, life goes on, life goes on…not
I've been through bad, I've been through good, but you don't think it'll happen to you, I know you're wrong 'cause the world's so wrong, but you don't care 'cause life goes on
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, that's what you're screamin', life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, now I'm here to finally show you that you are so wrong, life goes on, life goes on, life goes on…not
There's bad things and good that everyone goes through, but you think that won't happen to you, don't you realize that you're wrong, but you keep saying that life goes on
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, that's what you're screamin', life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, now I'm here to finally show you that you are so wrong, life goes on, life goes on, life goes on…not
Bad things, good things, nice things, rude things, you keep thinking that I'm stinking up this world by being pessimistic, won't you realize that I'm realistic, you can't go on thinkin' that I'm wrong, 'cause it's you who is by sayin' that life goes on
Life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, that's what you're screamin', life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, you should see now that I've showed you that you are so wrong that life goes on…(not) life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, that's what you're screamin', life goes on, life goes on, life goes on, now this is done, and you are wrong, and now I'm gone 'cause life goes on…not
Kay and Nick noticed that Sam's knees were starting to give out underneath him. Kay had a small vision that whatever was gonna happen would during the next song. Why does Fate follow Murphy's law? Kay thought. Oh, yeah, She dated him for a time….
"Our next song is yet another original, called Fadin' Out."
Life passes you by, runs right by, leaves you eatin' its dust, then you turn around and realize your life's begun to rust, it's never easy to be all on your own, no friends to pull you through, then you realize the only friend you need has always been by you, but what if they're gone, what if they left you all alone, you'll have to make it by bein' on your own
'Cause you're fadin' out (fadin' out), you're invisible to them, but you don't need them, no, you don't, if they think you'll give up, then you won't, you'll realize the only friend you need is you when you are finally through fadin' out
No one cares 'cause here, you don't matter, you have doubts, it's the social ladder, who cares what you say, what you do, the only one who does is you, no one listens anyway, it's the same everyday
'Cause you're fadin' out (fadin' out), you're invisible to them, but you don't need them, no, you don't, if they think you'll give up, then you won't, you'll realize the only friend you need is you when you are finally through fadin' out
If you think that I'm wrong, go back, rewind this song, you'll realize that it's true, when you are finally through (fadin' out) I know this may sound weird, but after this you'll need no fear, if there's one constant I'm sure about, it's that everyone, everyone, everyone will fade out
You're fadin' out (fadin' out), you're invisible to them, and there's nothing worse than fadin' out, 'cause once you're gone, then you're done, no one remembers the forgotten embers, that's just the way the world is, but have confidence in this, 'cause you're fadin' out (fadin' out), you're invisible to them, but you don't need them, no, you don't, if they think you'll give up, then you won't, you'll realize the only friend you need is you, you'll realize that my words are true, that I really cared for you, when you are finally through fadin' out, fadin' out, fadin' out, fadin' out, fadin' out, fadin' out,
That's when Kay saw it. It was so subtle she didn't catch it at first, then she saw what gave it away: he hadn't completely finished the song. Then, with the last two words of the song, he fell as his buckled. Nick and Kay, who had caught the subtle hints, rushed forward and caught him as he whispered into the mike.
I've faded.
The audience came towards the stage when they saw the singer/guitarist fall. Kay shot everyone a death glare.
"Y'all better back up," she growled. She saw someone reaching for a cell phone and hissed at him, "You dial for an ambulance, and you'll be dead before they pick up." The guy gulped and put the phone away as Kay looked around, scowling. "Same goes for all of ya! We got this covered, so go home!" The people cleared out under her glare. Kay turned to the others as the last audience member sauntered out. "Well? Help me out here!"
Jon and Leo came around and helped to lay Sam out. All four stood up and transformed. Nick's hair became real fire and his shirt had an orange flame on it. Jon's only difference was his shirt becoming black with a brown boulder. Leo's hair turned neon-ish blue and his shirt had a blue water drop. The boys looked to Kay for guidance, having forgotten what they did last time. She sighed, saying, "Y'all are hopeless, ya know that, right?" The boys looked at her sheepishly, and she shook her head. "Okay, Leo, get him wet so Nick won't burn him." Jon raised the small bit of ground Sam was on to make it easier to get at him, and Leo did as commanded. He then moved back for Nick to heat Sam up with his pyrokinetics. Then, Kay moved forward and warned the others, "Back up! He won't be happy when I wake him." The boys shared a look that screamed, "Two upset, homicidal superheroes with anger problems? No DUH we're moving!" All three gave Kay and Sam a wide berth, knowing how each was individually.
Kay concentrated, and a single bolt of electricity jumped from her pointer finger to Sam's abdomen. He sat bolt upright, and Kay backed away just from the look on his face. But that look was replaced in favor of an odd, worried, frantic one.
"What?" Nick asked as he and the other boys walked over, deeming the crisis averted for now. "What happened?"
Sam was too frantic to speak coherently. All that came out was, "I--I--uh--w--well--I--"
"What did you see, Sam?" Kay asked, placing a hand on his knee. "Take a few deep breaths, then tell us."
Sam did, then whispered, "I--saw some of--my past…."

Sneak Peek
"Hello again, Sam," he said, chuckling at the name as if he knew something I didn't.
"My name's not Sam, it's Danny," I said bitterly, then thought, At least, I think it is…. My memory of my past had been fading quickly throughout my time here. I think it was part of their plan. I wanted to know what would happen to me after I didn't remember, but I thought it would be better if I didn't know. Knowing them, it probably dealt with killing me in a brutal way and leaving the mangled body on my parents' doorstep. If I have parents… I sighed. One of the worst things about forgetting was not being able to, well, remember. Yeah, sounds stupid, I know, but… it's true. If there was one thing I wanted, it was to remember everything again.
