I do not own the Toa, Turarga, or Matoran. Shadow belongs to shadow dragon04. I do not own the song "When the Sun goes down". I own the other characters. Thank you.
Dimension Apart: Chapter 9
When the Sun Goes Down
Shadow munched on some type of fruit being served at the party. She, as usual, stood beside Kopaka. Neither looked very interested in joining the party. On the other hand, the other chosen and their Toa were partying, were and having a great time. It was getting dark, and the sun looked like it was going beneath the waves. Toru was having the most fun. He'd never been to a party in his life. He danced with the Le-matoran, ate a bit of fruit, and just generally had a good time. Sadako finally summed up enough courage to ask Lewa to dance with her, though he thought is was just for the fun of it. Daniel was joking around with Takanuva. Even though he was Tahu's partner, he got along better with the Toa of Light. Rito and Gali were dancing around, not really pairing up with anyone. Since they would soon be going to some unpopulated islands, Mahasin was building a guitar. Her older brother had taught her to play, and she learned a few American and Canadian songs from listening to the rich family's radio while she walked to school. She liked country music best, especially Kenny Chesny. Right now what was going on reminded her of one song titled "When the Sun Goes Down". Very quietly, she began humming the lyrics to herself.
Suntanned toes,
Tickling the sand,
Cold drink chilling in my right hand,
Watching you sleep in the evening light,
Resting up for a long, long night,
Cuz when the sun goes down,
We'll be grooving when the sun goes down,
Feeling all right,
When the sun sinks down,
Over the water,
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
Shadow looked up at Kopaka. She had never met anyone quieter then herself in her entire life.
It seems I've met my match… she thought to herself. I wonder if he'd even talk if I asked him something…probably not…
"Wow, Le-Matoran sure know how to party, eh Gali?" Rito called over the music.
Gali laughed, then replying, "They are known for being the most playful Matoran on the island."
All day long,
Just taking it easy,
Laying in a hammock where it's nice and breezy,
Sleeping off the night before,
Cuz when the sun goes down, we'll be back for more,
When the sun goes down,
We'll be grooving when the sun goes down,
Feeling alright,
When the sun sinks down,
Over the water,
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
"Ha ha!" Sadako laughed as Lewa twirled her. "This is great Lewa! Is it always like this around here?"
"Usually-mostly. The party-fun usually start-begins when it gets dark." Lewa replied.
"I think I'm going to like living-staying here, Lewa." Sadako said, realizing she had just spoken in tree-speak. "Did I just do, what I think I just did?"
"I think-believe you just did." Lewa said with a laugh.
This old guitar and my dark sunglasses,
This sweet concoction as smooth as molasses,
Nothing to do,
But sleep all day,
Until the big moon rises,
And its time to play
When the sun goes down,
We'll be grooving when the sun goes down,
Feeling all right,
When the sun sinks down,
Over the water,
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
