Just A Story Chapter 34, a digimon fanfic

Ch. 34 Performance Time

"About time you got here!" Matt yelled.

I started to back away.

"Sorry, Sidney already put something else for us. Go out and watch. Tai is getting ready, and I need to go talk about tonight…Get going!" Matt told us.

We left without saying one word.

"Over here!" Yolei waved to us.

"Hey guys," I said as I sat next to Ken, Davis sat next to me by Yolei.

"Hi Kari, nice to see you again," Jordan told me.

"Is everyone here?" Davis questioned.

"Yeah, we have Izzy and Jennifer at the end next to each other, and Mimi is on the opposite side. We're ready for the show," T.K. told me.

"Here comes Matt," Ken told us.

"Hello out there! Welcome to our Karaoke Night! We have a great show for you tonight. To start us is my good friend Tai Kamiya!" Matt introduced Tai as he walked out.

"Yeah!" the crowd cheered.

The music started.

"I'm not a perfect person. There's many things I wish I didn't do, but I continue learning. I never meant to do those things to you. And so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know," Tai started to sing.

The crowd was going wild!

"I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be. A reason to start over new, and the reason is you," Tai sang the chorus.

"Go Tai!" I heard Sora yell in the middle.

"I'm sorry that I hurt you. It's something I must live with everyday. And all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away. And be the one who catches all your tears. That's why I need you to hear," Tai sweetly sang.

After that, Tai sang the chorus again.

"And the reason is you! And the reason is you! And the reason is you!…I never meant to do those things to you. And so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know," he sang.

Then, he sang the chorus twice, and the song ended.

The crowd was yelling and screaming, Tai was a hit!

"Thank you! I'd like to thank the two best people in my life, my sister Kari, and my girlfriend Sora Takenouchi," Tai smiled.

He then walked off stage.

I saw Sora get up and leave.

After a minute, Tai sat in Sora's place. Sora was on the stage. Sidney was up there with her.

"Give it up for Sora Takenouchi!" Sidney yelled and left the stage.

Music started to play.

"I'm sorry for hurting you the way I did. You could laugh about it, you could cry about it, or you could leave it alone. Don't worry about it, it will be alright I know. Don't work to hard, forget it, just leave it alone," Sora sang.

"She wrote this herself," Davis whispered to me.

"I've given you all I got. I never knew a little lie would hurt you. Just forgive me, forget it. Just let it go," she sang the chorus.

"Pretty good," I smiled.

"So, what do you say? Can we be on our way? Do we have to stop for a while and keep on playing this game? Do you want me to leave it alone, or do you just want to sit here in this silence?" Sora asked.

Then, she started to sing the chorus.

"I'll try harder, but you know I'm not that great. I'm just a little girl in this complex world. I try, but it doesn't seem to work, so just leave it alone," she talk singed.

Then, yet again, she sang the chorus.

"Oh, just, just let it go, let it, oh, let it go," Sora softly sang the end.

The crowd clapped loudly.

"Thanks!" she smiled as she walked off the stage.

Matt walked on as she left.

"Now, it's my turn to do my thing. Are you guys ready to rock?" Matt asked.

"No," Tai whispered to me.

"Yeah! Go Matt!" I whistled.

"Sick and tire of this world, there's no more air. Trippin' over myself, goin' nowhere. Waiting, suffocating, no direction, and I took a dive," Matt started.

"He's not singing his own song," I heard Tai say.

"And on the way down, I saw you, and you saved me from myself. And I won't forget the way you loved me. On the way down, I almost fell right through, but I held onto you," he sang the chorus.

"The crowd is usually cheering louder than this," I said.

"I've been wondering why it's only me. Have you always been inside waiting to breathe? It's alright, sunlight on my face, I wake up and yeah, I'm alive," Matt sang the second verse.

Then, he sang the chorus, but instead of 'and on the way down', he sang "cause on the way down" this time around.

"I was so afraid of going under, but now, the wait of the world feels like nothing, na, nothing. Down, down, down, you're all I wanted. Down, down, down, you're all I needed. Down, down, down, you're all I wanted, you're all I needed. And I won't forget the way you loved me. All I wanted, all I needed," Matt smiled as he sang.

After that part, he sang the chorus.

"Down, down, down, but I held onto you. Down, down, down, but I held onto you," he finished.

The crowd clapped and screamed.

"Thanks guys, but here is the next song with Sidney!" Matt yelled as he left the stage.

"This is my heart talking to you, saying that it can't be with anyone else. That without you this world is a worthless place. I can say I love you, that I can't be without you. You are perfect just the way you are, and that I don't want that to change. Never go away. My love belongs to you and no one else. Forever we'll be, we will never part. This is my heart telling you, never change, be the same, I'll always love you. Forever in my heart, are love will last. Forever it will be you and me. Never leave me behind. I'll always be by your side. I will forever love you. And this is my heart signing off," Sidney sang her song.

The crowd cheered as she smiled.

"Ok, let me just introduce the next group. We have coming up here, Kari Kamiya, Davis Motomiya, Yolei Inoue, and T.K. Takaishi. That group will be doing a song, then they will do another song, but only T.K. and Yolei will be the main singers, and finally, Kari will be singing us a song. So, let's get going! I hope you guys are ready to rock!" Sidney said as we walked onto the stage.

"Hey Mr. D.J., in case you forgot, I came to get down, so you better make it hot," Davis stood in the front of the stage as T.K., Yolei, and I did some dancing in the back ground.

"Cause I can't jump around when I hear," Yolei and T.K. sang together.

"Groove killers!" Davis and I sang.

"When I'm sitting down, it's a clear," they sang.

"Time stealer!" we yelled.

"Give me a track with a phat kind of beat. A groove so unique that it kicks me off my seat," Davis sang a solo again.

"Cause I won't find a mood with a new," T.K. and Yolei started.

"Spine chiller!" Davis and I finished for them.

"When the crowd hits the room, it's a true," they stopped.

"Crowd thriller!" we sang.

This is where it started to get fun. Yolei and I walked in front of the boys.

"Freeze!" Davis yelled.

"Better make it hot!" Yolei and I sang.

"Music please!" Davis called.

"Blow the spot!" we jumped back.

"Play that funky music!" Davis smiled.

T.K. and Davis moved towards us and put their hands on our hips. Yolei and I threw our arms in the air and started to move our bodies around. The boys joined us.

"That is how we want it," everyone sang.

"Floorfiller!" Yolei and I sang as we turned around.

"That is how we need it."

"Floorfiller!" Yolei and I broke free of the boys.

"Something's outta order, people in the corners don't you see it? Can't you feel it?" T.K. rapped his arms around Yolei as Davis did the same towards me.

"Floorfiller!" Yolei and I yelled as we walked towards the middle.

"Crank up a bass that can raise up the roof. A bomb diggy drum commin' at me with a poof," Davis smiled as he sang.

"Gotta boom, shake the room, cause we're all," T.K. and Yolei sang.

"Heat seekers!" Davis and I yelled.

"With a jam that can slam down the walls," they sang.

"Mindfreaker!" we screamed.

We sang the chorus again, which started with "freeze…" and ended with "…feel it".

"You know by the sounds when the crowd is getting wild. Hands swinging high like a chopper in the sky," Davis waved his arms in the air.

"But a slow bump or flow ain't the way," T.K. and Yolei yelled.

"Floorfreezer!" Davis and I smiled.

"See the name of the game is to play," they were the ones smiling now.

"Crowd pleaser!" Davis and I got on our knees and slid across the stage and jumped up.

We then sang the chorus twice, but we sang "Floorfiller. That is how we need it. Soulfiller" the first time. Then the second time was normal.

We ended with Yolei and I dropping to the floor with our arms in the air. Davis and T.K. held onto us as we went down.

The crowd screamed and shouted.

"The next song is coming to you!" Yolei told the crowd.

Davis and I quickly took off our headsets and got two stands for our microphones. We set them up close to the front of the stage. T.K. stood looking at the ground.

"Stop! And take those big blue eyes back out of my heart, it don't belong to you," Yolei sang as she put her arm out to stop T.K. from walking.

"But maybe it could. It sure has crossed my mind. I gotta be strong. I gotta be true this time," T.K. slowly walked towards Yolei.

"But as we kiss goodbye, I don't even know why I ain't movin'. Ain't lookin' my way. See on the surface you're this perfect angel inside," Yolei and I sang. She slightly touched T.K. on his chest with her finger and slowly moved down and pulled away.

"There's nothing you can hide!" Davis and Yolei sang this time.

"Oh, oh, sugar ain't as sweet as you. Oh, oh, monkey see as monkey do. And I could get addicted. Sure as every movie is. Oh, oh, yeah," everyone sang the chorus.

"Hot! Like baby mid-July. You're none of these. No shade when you walk by," Yolei sang.

"I'm falling for you. And that is falling bad. I gotta do right, so I don't lose what I have," T.K. sang after she was done.

"But as you smile at me, baby I just can't wait to be leavin'. Be miles away. See on the surface you're this perfect angel inside," Yolei and I sang, she touched T.K. again.

"There's nothing you can hide!" Davis and Yolei sang together.

Then we sang the chorus.

"Hey! Sugar ain't as sweet as you," I sang.

"On the surface you're this perfect angel inside," Yolei sang by herself.

"There's nothing you can hide!" Davis and Yolei sang.

Once again, the chorus was sung.

"Oh, oh, sugar ain't as sweet as you. Oh, oh, honey bees get jealous too. You say that we're connected. Sure as we both need this here. Oh, oh yeah!" we all sang the end.

"And, for the last song from this group, Kari Kamiya will sing!" Davis smiled.

Yolei, Davis, and T.K. left the stage.

"When the night won't fall, and the sun won't rise, and you see the best as you close your eyes. When you reach the top as you bottom out, but you understand what it's all about. Nothing's ever what it seems. In your life or in your dreams. It don't make sense, what can you do? So I won't try makin' sense of you.

"Love just is…Whatever it may be. Love just is…you and me. Nothing less and nothing more. I don't know what I love you for…Love just is.

"When you ask to stay and then disappear. It seems you're gone, but you're really here. When every move seems out of place, but every kiss is filled with grace. Some things never get defined. In your heart, or in your mind. It don't make sense, what can you do? So I won't try makin' sense of you.

"Love just is…Whatever it may be. Love just is…you and me. Nothing less and nothing more. I don't know what I love you for…Love just is.

"Don't ever ask me for reasons I can't get to you. Don't ever ask me for reasons why I live for you…I just do. Nothing's ever what it seems. In your life or in your dreams. It don't make sense, what can you do? So I won't try makin' sense of you.

"Love just is…Whatever it may be. Love just is…you and me. Nothing less and nothing more. I don't know what I love you for…Love just is," I sang the whole song.

I smiled lightly and looked at Davis, who was out in the crowd. He smiled back at me.

"Thank you," I softly said and walked off the stage.

"And our next song is going to be sung by Willis!" Matt shouted out as Willis walked onto the stage with a soft smile.

"Seen you around, heard you really like me. Should I believe what they all say? I saw you in town, you know you walked right by me. Tell me, do you feel the same way? I know you really wanted me baby. I see it in your eyes. So what do you say?

"Hey you, whaddya know? You got your hands in your pockets and you walk real slow. Hey you, whaddya say? Gotta have your number, gonna make your day. Hey you, are you talking to me? Wanna tell you what I want, wanna try, wanna see. Hey you, hey you. Whaddya say, whaddya say?

"Hiding away. Hopin' that you'll call me. I can't seem to get you off my mind. There you are, standing on the corner. You say 'Hi, I lost you number. Gimme a sign!'. I know you really wanted me baby. I see it in your eyes. So what do you say?

"Here we go, come on. This is how we gonna do it!

"He's good," I smiled.

"Thanks!" he waved as he left the stage.

"Now, are next guy is a little shy, so we need to cheer him onto the stage. Let's give Ken Ichijouji a nice welcoming!" Sidney screamed.

Ken slightly smiled as he walked onto the stage with a microphone in his hands.

"Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart. It's the end of the world in my mind. Then your voice pulls me back like a wake-up call. I've been looking for the answer. Somewhere. I couldn't see that it was right there, but now I know, what I didn't know.

"Because you live and breathe. Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help. Because you live girl. My world…Has twice as many stars in the sky.

"It's all right. I survived. I'm alive again cause of you, made it through every storm. What is life? What's the use? If you're killed inside. I'm so glad I found an angel. Someone who…Was there when all my hopes fell. I wanna fly looking in your eyes.

"Because you live and breathe. Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help. Because you live girl. My world…Has twice as many stars in the sky.

"Because you live…I live. Because you live, there's a reason why I carry on when I lose the fight. I want to give you what you've given me. Always…

"Because you live and breathe. Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help. Because you live girl. My world…Has twice as many stars in the sky.

"Because you live and breathe. Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help. Because you live girl. My world…Has everything I need to survive. Because you live…I live, I live," Ken finished his song and started to smile. During his song, he did a lot of pointing, and he was always pointing at me.

"For not liking you, he sure does seem to point at you a lot. He was kind of even flirting with you in that song," Jordan told me.

"Ken and I are just friends," I told her. Then I whispered to myself, "I just hope he knows that."

Mimi walked over to me.

"Izzy is going on now. After his song will be mine. I'm so nervous, but I can't wait!" Mimi said.

"It's going to be perfect," I told her.

"I sure hope so," she said as she walked away.

"And, for our final song of the night. We have Izzy Izumi!" Matt introduced him.

"First of all…I'd like to dedicate this song to Jennifer. I hope you love it," Izzy told everyone.

"Been there, done that. One time too many. This I'm hoping you won't come back to me, Jenny. Oh when you get lonely, girl, and you come on so sweet. When things get better, baby, you start to retreat.

"So Jennifer goodbye. Don't wanna figure out why anymore. Don't wanna be your fall-back guy. I'm going to take care of me.

"There's been many nights when the pain was so strong. I waited for your call, all night long. Then you'd come back girl, with that look in your eyes, and I'd always forgive you, baby, when you'd apologize!

"But Jennifer goodbye. Don't wanna figure out why anymore. Don't wanna be your fall-back guy. I'm going to take care of me.

"Lessons get learned the hard way, I guess. Each time you walked away girl I was a mess. Crying the night away, I must confess. I thought that you cared, but you couldn't care less.

"So Jennifer goodbye. Don't wanna figure out why anymore. Don't wanna be your fall-back guy. I'm going to take care of me. Don't come around with all your charms. Not gonna let you in my arms. This time will be different, you'll see. Cause I'm gonna take care of me. I'm gonna take care of me," Izzy sang.

The crowd cheered. I didn't know Izzy's voice was so sweet. I looked to my right, Sidney came to get Mimi and they were leaving.

"Bye Jenny!" Izzy said as he left the stage with a happy smile. He sat by me.

Mimi walked onto the stage, music started to play.

"Mimi," Izzy softly said.

"I looked away. Then I look back at you. You try to say, the things that you can't undo. If I had my way, I'd never get over you. Today's the day, I pray that we make it through. Make it through the fall. Make it through it all.

"And I don't want to fall to pieces. I just want to sit and stare at you. I don't want to talk about it. And I don't want a conversation. I just want to cry in front of you. I don't to talk about it, cause I'm in love with you.

"You're the only one I'd be with 'till the end. When I come undone, you bring me back again. Back under the stars. Back into your arms.

"Wanna know who you are. Wanna know where to start. I wanna know what this means. Wanna know how you feel. Wanna know what is real. I wanna everything, everything.

"I don't want to fall to pieces. I just want to sit and stare at you. I don't want to talk about it. And I don't want a conversation. I just want to cry in front of you. I don't to talk about it, cause I'm in love with you. And I don't want to fall to pieces. I just want to sit and stare at you. I don't want to talk about it. And I don't want a conversation. I just want to cry in front of you. I don't to talk about it, cause I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you, cause I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you," Mimi fell to the ground and started to cry.

"Mimi!" Izzy jumped out of his seat and ran onto the stage. The microphone was still on, we could hear what they said.

"I'm so sorry," Mimi sobbed.

"You have nothing to be sorry about," Izzy told her.

"I should have trusted you."

"It's ok."

"But you're right Izzy. I don't like you…I've always loved you," she told him.

"I love you too," Izzy told her.

They stood up, Mimi still held the microphone.

"I will always love you," Izzy said as he leaned towards her and kissed Mimi on the lips.

Mimi finally got what she wanted, she had her prince charming back.

The crowd started to cheer.

Izzy pulled away and started to blush.

"I will always love you for more than a pretty face. I know the true you," Izzy told Mimi.

"Thank you Izzy, thank you," Mimi softly said and dropped the microphone as they walked of the stage. They started to come towards me.
