Thank you so much to wolfling,gracetrekkie123 (Archer's song was 'Back some Day' by Blue)and firebirdgirl for the reviews, much appreciated! Sorry this chapter is a bit short but I have started back at college and I'm on work overload so I thought i'd just post what I had rather than make you wait longer. Okay don't forget to REVIEW this chapter too everyone!Here's chapter five!


"Hello everybody! Welcome back to Enterprise Idol!" -crowd cheer loudly- "Before the break we had Travis and the Captain perform for us. Coming up we have Malcolm Reed, T'Pol and Trip Tucker performing for your viewing pleasure!" -she grins as the crowd scream-

"Right now we're going to speak to our correspondent who's onboard the Enterprise with the rest of the crew at this very moment." -she looks up at the large screen at the back of the stage and the image of a man appears- "Andrew! Can you tell us what's going on over there?" -she asks-

"Yes I can Lieutenant. There is a fierce rivalry going on between to engineering department and the security department. Each side is strongly supporting their commanding officers. We've heard some choice words from both sides about the other."

"Have there been many arguments?"

"It's all in good fun I think, but there have been a few scuffles that've been arguments that have got out of hand. Nothing serious."

"So what about the betting pools? Who has the best odds at the moment?" -she asks-

"I have to say that Commander Tucker and Sub-Commander T'Pol are hot favourites at the moment, but it has been fluctuating wildly over the past few hours, so it looks like the crew are undecided!" -he concluded smiling-

"Sounds about right, the standard has been amazing, I wouldn't want to have to decide at this stage!" -she replies- "Thanks Andrew! Let the security personnel know that Lieutenant Reed is coming up next!" -she says, Andrew nods and smiles before the screen goes blank again-

"Okay, looks like even the Enterprise crew don't know who to vote for, but it's you who's voting not them, have you got a favourite yet? Could our next contestant be it? He is, give it up for LIEUTENANT MALCOLM REED!" -crowd scream wildly as Malcolm walks onto the stage. Hess walks up to him as he positions himself by the mic. Behind him is a band, compromising of a drummer and a guitarist, who's holding two electric guitars-

"All right Malcolm?" -Hess asks-

"Wonderful."

"Nervous?" -she grins-

"A little." -he admits-

"Well I won't keep you any longer then." -she tells him- "Here he is, Malcolm Reed, singing for your vote!" -crowd cheers-

-Malcolm smiles at the crowd as the music starts to play, before he turns round, takes the extra guitar and slings it over his shoulder and starts to play it. The crowd cheer as he starts to play-

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind

You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

-crowd screams and cheers as Malcolm ends with a solo instrumental on his guitar-

"Malcolm Reed everyone!" -Hess says enthusiastically as she pulls him by the hand to the judges table- "Brilliant Malcolm!" -she says-

"Thanks."

"So, judges, your thoughts?"

"I wasn't sure to the point of the song, but his musical skill was good." -Soval says-

"It could have been louder," -Shran comments- "But it was adequate."

"Brilliant Lieutenant, I had no idea you had any musical talent!" -Forrest says smiling-

"Thank you judges!" -Hess says- "Well done again Malcolm."

"Thanks." -he says before he walks off the stage giving the crowd a last wave, which they cheer to-

"Okay so that was Lieutenant Reed! We only have two contestants left, so stay tuned. If you'd like to send us a message here in the studio hit the lilac button now! See you after the break!"
