Chapter Two:

"Ok, Akito! I think we're ready!" Shigure bounced up and down.

"You look like an idiot...Stop." Hatori said.

"Oh, sorry! I'm just so excited!"

Akito turned on the screen and Shigure started singing and speaking.

"Hakuna Matata!" Shigure said.

"Oh, no..." Hatori rubbed his forehead.

"What a wonderful phrase!" Shigure waited for Hatori to sing the next part.

"Don't look at me!" Hatori glared at him.

"Fine." Shigure started singing.

Hakuna matata!

Ain't no passin' craze.

It means no worries for the rest of your days.

It's our problem-free philosophy.

Hakuna matata!

"Why," Shigure started speaking again. "When he was a young warthog..."

"Why do I have to be the pig?" Hatori asked.

Shigure sang again.

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal.

He could clear the savannah after every meal.

"This is so stupid..." Hatori remarked.

Hakuna matata!

What a wonderful phrase!

Hakuna matata!

Ain't no passin' craze.

It means no worries for the rest of your days!

It's our problem-free philosophy!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna...!

It means no worries for the rest of your days!

It's our problem-free philosophy.

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

Hakuna matata!

"YEAH!" Shigure jumped up.

"I'm outta here..." Hatori jumped off the stage.

"All the credit should got to me! I'm the one who sang!" Shigure laughed.

"See if I care," Hatori sat down. "Kisa can sing next."

"In that case," Shigure lifted Kisa onto the stage. "Tohru go ahead and sing with her."

"Um, ok." Tohru walked on the stage.

"Go ahead." Akito turned on the screen.

Tohru started singing.

When the waves roll on

Over the waters

And the oceans cry

We look to our sons and daughters

To explain our lives

As if a child could tell us why

That as sure as the sunrise

As sure as the sea

As sure as the wind in the trees

We rise again

In the aces of our children

We rise again

In the voices of our song

We rise again

In the waves out on the ocean

And then we rise again

"Those two are so cute together..." Shigure sighed. "Another Kodak moment!"

"Will you stop with the stupid Kodak moments?" Kyo glared at him.

Kisa started.

When the light goes dark

With the forces of creation

In a stormy sky

We look to reincarnation to

Explain our lives

As if a child could tell us why

That as sure as the sunrise

As sure as the sea

As sure as the wind in the trees

We rise again

In the aces of our children

We rise again

In the voices of our song

We rise again

In the waves out on the ocean

And then we rise again

Kisa and Tohru started singing together.

We rise again

In the aces of our children

We rise again

In the voices of our song

We rise again

In the waves out on the ocean

And then we rise again

"Very good, girls. Who's next?" Akito asked. "We have 20 minutes left before midnight."

"I choose Hiro." Kisa said.

"And, I guess Ritsu?" Tohru said.

Yuki and Kyo buried their faces in their hands and chanted together, "Bad choice! Bad choice! Bad choice!"

Hiro walked up on stage. "Come on, Ritsu! Let's get this overwith!"

"Um, ok..." Ritsu got out of his seat and started walking to the stage.

"Will you hurry up? We only have 15 minutes until midnight! We need to sing this song and get it done! Two other people have to sing al before midnight and if you can't even com eup on sage in time, that's just sad and we'll never make it!" Hiro explained.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Ritsu ran on stage and fell to his knees and started begging to Hiro. "Please forgive me if I make us go over midnight! I didn't mean to! I just--"

"Will you just stand up and sing?" Hiro glared at him.

"Um, yes. Sorry."

"And stop saying sorry."

"Ok. Sorry. I mean, I, oh..."

"Just turn on the song..." Haru whispered to Akito.

Ritsu started singing.

Lonely I'm Mr Lonely,
I have nobody,
For my owwnnn
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody,
For my owwnnn
I'm so lonely,

Hiro sang the rap parts while Ritsu sang the parts that are like the one above.

Yo this one here goes out to all my playas out there ya kno got that one good girl whose always been there like ya
Kno took all the bullshit then one day she cant take it no more and decides to leave

I woke up in the middle of the night and I noticed my girl wasn't by my side, coulda sworn I was dreamin, for her I was

Ever since my girl left me, my whole life came crashin

I'm so lonely (so lonely),
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own) girl

"Ritsu looks so sad." Hatori commented.

"Hiro won't stop glaring at him, that's why." Shigure replied.

I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own) girl

Cant belive I hadda girl like you and I just let you walk right outta my life, after all I put u thru u still stuck
Around and stayed by my side, what really hurt me is I broke ur heart, baby you were a good girl and I had no right, I
Really wanna make things right, cuz without u in my life girl

"This is boring..." Kyo sighed.

I'm so lonely (so lonely)

For my own (to call my own) girl

I'm so lonely (so lonely)

Never thought the day would come where you would get up and run and I would be out chasing u
Cuz aint nowhere in the globe id rather be, aint noone in the globe id rather see then the girl of my dreams that made me
Be so happy but now so lonely

"How come Ritsu looks so sad?" Kisa asked.

"I think because of Hiro." Tohru said.

So lonely (so lonely)

For my own (to call my own)

Hurt my baby, and its drivin me crazy cuz...

"Are we done, yet?" Hiro asked. "This is stupid."

"Not yet, Hiro. Just sing." Akito gritted his teeth.

I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own)

I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)

For my own (to call my own) girll

Lonely, so lonely
So lonely, (so lonely),
Mr. Lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, (so lonely), Mr. Lonely

"Now are we done?" Hiro asked.

"Yes, Hiro. Just go back and sit down," Akito sighed. "Momiji? Haru? You two are the last ones. Get up there. We have five minutes left."

Hiro got off the stage and past Momiji and Haru getting on.

"Did I make us late?" Ritsu asked.

"No, Ritsu. We're fine." Shigure said.

"Will you just shut up and sit down?" Hiro asked.

"Ok," Ritsu hopped off the stage. "I'm sorry...I mean--"

"Just shut up!"

"We better be singing a good song!" Haru glared at Akito.

"Momiji picked it. So, for you, it won't be a good song, probably." Akito turned on the screen.

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night,
Its only right, to think about the girl you love
and hold her tight so happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
and you'd say you belong to me, and ease my mind
Imagine how the world would be
so very fine, so happy together

"Momiji, what are you trying to do to me?" Haru asked.

I can't see me loving nobody but you
for all my life
When youre with me, baby the skies will be blue
for all my life

Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
so happy together

"Kill me?" Haru continued after Momiji finished.

"Just sing. Please? It'll be really fun!" Momiji smiled.

If I should call you up, invest a dime
and you'd say you belong to me, and ease my mind
Imagine how the world would be
so very fine, so happy together

I can't see me loving nobody but you
for all my life
When youre with me, baby the skies will be blue
for all my life

I can't see me loving nobody but you
for all my life
When youre with me, baby the skies will be blue
for all my life

Call you up, ease my mind, ease my mind
EASE MY MIND

"That was so stupid..." Haru said.

"Funny, too." Kyo smiled.

"I will get you!" Haru started walking over to him on stage. "I will pair up with Kagura and get you!"

"Haru, come on! Sing!" Momiji said.

I can't see me loving nobody but you
for all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies will be blue
for all my life

I can't see me loving nobody but you
for all my life
When youre with me, baby the skies will be blue
for all my life..

Babababadabababadababadababa
So happy together.
Babababadabababadababadababa
So happy together.

"We are not happy together," Haru said. "That sounds like we're gay."

Babababadabababadababadababa
So how is the weather?
Babababadabababadababadababa
So happy together.
Babababadabababadababadababa

"See was that so bad?" Momiji smiled up at Haru.

"Yes. And that weather thing was just random." Haru answered.

"Oh, well."

"Um, guys?" Kisa pointed to the TV.

Everyone started counting down to midnight starting at 10. While, Kyo had flashbacks of that night. Ritsu annoying him, him getting mad at Momiji, him singing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Yuki and Shigure making fun of him, him singing a love song wih Kagura and her ready to kill him and Haru ready to kill him, and a lot of other things.

"3...2...1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone shouted and started jumping up and down.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Kyo stayed sitting. "Happy stupid New Year..."

The End!
