Chapter: 20 Fist Audition

It was about 4:30 when they reached the audition center. It was a big auditorium that had a huge stage, tones of equipment and the front doors were open to anyone who wanted to come in and watch so the audience was always large. Amy was the fist to step off the bus she was followed by Shadow. They were being sent to check in. The two were immediately greeted by one of the M.O.A scouts. "Hello my name's Erick and you two must be Shadow and Amy."

Amy looked at Shadow and then to the man. "Yes we are how did you-"

"You and Shadow are VIPs now if you will just sign this you're band will be checked in." Shadow took the clipboard that Erick was holding out and signed the paper. "Good now everything's in order your fist auditions are at 5."

Shadow and Amy had gone back to the RV to get the others for the tryouts. The two walked in. "Come on you guys we gotta get to the stage we're on in ten minutes!"

"What!" Knuckles stumbled out of his room. He didn't have his shirt on and his dreads were a bit messy.

"Knuckles what are you-" Shadow's question was answered when he saw Rouge walk out of the dark room.

"Rouge were you?"

"It's cool lets go." The bat headed for the door.

"Wait where's Tails and Cream?" Amy asked.

"If my guess is right they're upstairs." Sonic was sitting in the driver's seat his feet propped up on the wheel.

"They're on the roof?" Knuckles looked up.

"Yep." Sonic yawned and got up to walk out the door.

They all headed outside. "Hey guys come on!" Amy yelled as she jumped up and grabbed the rim of the roof she peeked over the edge. She saw Tails lying on top of Cream they were both smiling. Tails kissed her and then he picked himself up and offered his hand to Cream. She gladly took it and embraced him as he lifted her up. Amy quietly released her grip and fell to the ground. She was to daises to land on her feet. She pushed herself up only slightly from the ground.

"Amy are you okay?" Shadow was at her side in a flash, a habit he couldn't subdue.

"I'm fine Shadow." Amy pushed herself up completely. "I just remembered…"

"Remembered what?"

"Oh it's nothing important." Amy walked off toward the auditorium.

Shadow watched her as Knuckles stumbled out of the RV. "Shadow get your black butt over here and help me get 'YOUR' guitar!"

Shadow sighed and slowly started walking the same path as Amy. "We don't need um they've got instruments already setup for us."

"Shadow?"

"I'm fine Knuckles can you round up the others?"

"Consider it done."

"Alright contestants listen up." A girl was standing on stage she was giving instructions to all of them so that they would know what to do. "You will be performing songs of several different categories the ones with the best scores move on up and the losers pack it up and head out." "First category is saddened love songs and fist contestants on the list are Amy Rose and Shadow the hedgehog."

Amy was now standing on the stage a mike in her hand. She saw hundreds of people out there screaming her name. She also saw someone she didn't want to see. She saw Tucker standing in the crowd eyeing her mercilessly. "My song's one I wrote myself called 'Behind these hazel eyes'."

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Seems like just yesterday

You were a part of me

I use to stand so tall use to be so strong

Your arms around me tight

Everything it felt so right

Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong

Now I can't breath

No I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

Here I am once again

I'm torn into peace

Can't deny it can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything opened up and let you in

You made me feel alright for once in my life

Now all that's left of me is what I pretend to be

So together what's broken up inside

Now I can't breath

No I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

Here I am once again

I'm torn in to peace

Can't deny it can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me and spit me out

For hating you I blame myself

Seeing you it kills me now

Amy looked directly at Tucker she hated him more than anything right now.

No I don't cry on the outside

Anymore!

Anymore…

Here I am once again

I'm torn in to peace

Can't deny it can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am once again

I'm torn in to peace

Can't deny it can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

The crowd yelled and cheered. Amy took her bow and then waited to be judged. Turned out she got a 6, 10, and a 7. She walked out and allowed Shadow to take the mike. Since their band had two main singers they both had to past with at least one 10 for them to stay in the contest.

"Okay I'm gonna sing a song called 'Unaffected'."

There never seems be

Because what I believe in

And the moment I'm not trying

To show them who I am

Why can't they understand the thing that they're denying

They're denying

So what should I do just lay next to you

As thought I'm unaffected

Who should I be when they're judging me

As though I'm unaffected

Should they never give to ever wanna live the life

That I am made of

There's nothing left to prove my heart's forever true

I dare say they're afraid of

Afraid of

So what should I do just lay next to you

As thought I'm unaffected

Who should I be when they're judging me

As though I'm unaffected

Before they even saw my face

They knew that I was not the same

And decided that I was not the one for you

For you

So what should I do

I'm not unaffected

And who should I be

I'm not unaffected

What should I do just lay next to you

As though I'm unaffected

And who should I be when they're judging me

As though I'm unaffected

Unaffected Unaffected unaffected

Unsurprisingly Shadow got the same grade as Amy and so the group was headed for the finals tomorrow night.

Amy, Rouge, and Cream were sitting at a table in the food area having a drink. They were suddenly interrupted by a purple female hedgehog with long quills. "So you three must be the girls from the 'Black Ultimates' band and to think I was going to consider you three a threat."

"Excuse me?" Amy asked as she stood up from her chair. She looked the girl up and down she was wearing a pair of black jeans and a lime green tank top.

"My names Rebecca and I've been watching you, you're a pretty good singer but you lack control and vigilance. You just sing and then you're done you're to slack."

"Is there a reason you think I care?" Amy looked the girl straight in the eye.

"Not really I also thought I might have trouble getting my hands on your bands lead male signer but you're obviously no threat to that either."

Rouge leaned over to Cream and whispered into her ear. "That girl's done it now."

Amy's blood began to boil her feelings now mellowing in disgust. "You think you've got what it takes to beat me and pick up the hedgehog on the top hottest list too?"

"I don't just think I know." The girl flipped her hair with her hand once.

"Okay how's about we make this next round interesting?" Amy put one hand to her hip.

"How so?" The girl questioned.

"In the next round if we both put up our sots in the finals and you lose then you have to stay away from Shadow for the rest of your life."

"And what if you lose and I go on what's my prize?"

"If 'you' win and I lose then I'll personally set you up on a date with Shadow."

"Okay you've got yourself a bet. You better start planning that date cause I'm going to blow you away." Rebecca walked off.

"What was that all about?" Cream asked as Amy sat back down.

"It's called a stalker or better known as a fangirl. Rebecca's obliviously one of Shadows."

"Well she can forget about him I'm not about to let her have him." Amy slammed her fist on the table.

Rouge and Cream looked at her for a moment. "Why are you so P.O.ed you dumped Shadow so why should you care?" Rouge questioned.

"I may have dumped him but that doesn't mean I'm not still looking out for him." Amy got up to head for the stage the category was an up beat rock song. Amy had one she was ready to sing. When she got there Rebecca was already there and on stage starting her song.

There was a girl I knew

Who always wanted to

Be the one to stand out from the crowd

Always believed that she was gonna live her dreams

That what went down was gonna come around

For all the doubters nonbelievers simcos that once were dreamers

On of these days you'll open up your eyes and you'll realize

That girl was a one time teenage drama queen

A hacked up everyday wanna be but she'll have change her destiny

Now she's a somebody

that girl was wild child dreamer but she'll find herself

cause she believes in nothing else

and you'll look back and you won't believe that girl was me

a drifting attitude that she knows how to use

she's gonna get there any way she can

Case she knows what she wants

No one is gonna stop her

Nothing's ever gonna hold her back

For all the doubters nonbelievers simcos that once were dreamers

One of these days you'll know that you were wrong

Who would know

That girl was a one time teenage drama queen

Rebecca looked hard at Amy when she song the next line

A hacked up everyday wanna be

but she'll have change her destiny

Now she's a somebody

that girl was wild child dreamer but she'll find herself

cause she believes in nothing else

and you'll look back and you won't believe that girl was me

life is a work of art you gotta paint it colorful

you can make it anything you want

don't have to stick to any rules

you don't need a high IQ to succeed in what you do

you just gotta have no doubt just believe in yourself

For all the doubters nonbelievers once were her dreamers

One of theses days you'll open up your eyes and you'll realize

That girl was a one time teenage drama queen

A hacked up everyday wanna be but she'll have change her destiny

Now she's a somebody

that girl was wild child dreamer but she'll find herself

cause she believes in nothing else

and you'll look back and you won't believe that girl was me

Rebecca bowed as she finished her song. Everyone looked at the score board and she got a 7,7, and an 8. She walked off the stage and past Amy. "Beat that you wanna be."

"Don't worry I will." Amy walked out onto the stage. "I'm ready to rock this place with a song called 'I always get what I want'."

Every now and again we all want something

Even if there's no way of getting it

If I stomp my feet that may be the way around

Can I get myself around it

Give me what I want everything I don't got

So give me what I want cause I'm a big shot

Don't wanna always have to be so nice

Don't wanna hear you say well that's just life

I'll drown you out when I open my mouth

And make my way around it I always make my way around it

Give me what I want everything I don't got

So give me what I want cause I'm a big shot

So give me what I want I always get what I want

You don't wanna see me when I don't get what I want

It's not what you want

I'm not about to take no for answer no if I tell you I can't

I'm still gonna go

I did it all by myself and I found

I found my way around it

Give me what I want everything I don't got

give me what I want cause I'm a big shot

So give me what I want I always get what I want

You don't wanna see me when I don't get what I want

It's not what you want

Amy looked straight at Rebecca with a smirk as she sung the next verse.

It's not to lovely it can start to get ugly

It really bugs me when I don't get my way

Give me what I want everything I don't got

So give me what I want cause I'm a big shot

So give what I want I always get what I want

You don't wanna see me when I don't get what I want

It's not what you want

If I don't get what I want it's not what want!

Amy waved her hands in the air while the crowd cheered loudly. Now the moment came where the scores began to come up on the board and they were 8, 9, and 9. Amy beat Rebecca Shadow was safe from her or more he was safely in Amy's secret possession. Amy walked off the stage smirking at Rebecca. "Well Bec what'd ya say now?"

"You get to have him I'm to low class for him anyway." Rebecca folded her arms and looked away.

Amy slid her hands down her face and then sighed. "Look you're really good okay and I admit you've got looks. You can get a guy and have a career just not my guy or my singing spot."

"Thanks for the advice now I gotta go." Rebecca walked off still sulking.
