Chapter 5- The Concert of a lifetime and The Night
The day has finally arrived…. Arendelle is about to have it's first live rock concert. Everyone in the kingdom got their tickets and seats as others that didn't get the tickets quickly bought TVs to see the live performance. As for the band….they are both jazzed and nervous to perform in front of a large crowd than they have ever dealt with.
Backstage, the band warms up preparing for their very first concert. Ted fiddles on his guitar while Harry and Zack check themselves on the outfits they're given. They're wearing full on black suits, with out a tie, and nice flexible shoes thanks to Edna Mode. Each member dress in a full on black suit that's fitted with LED colored Lights woven in the lapels and the side of their pants and suit jackets. Ted's light color scheme is Amber; Brad's is Blue, Zach's Emerald, Harry with Red, and James is Warmth White.
Meanwhile James is being a mannequin for Edna as she fixes James's outfit in order to be a bit more flexible when he moves on stage, "Are you sure I need to be more flexible?" "Of course darling, the suit is made with a fabric that will not wear too much. Also ever since you boys came to my town and played, it is clear that you boys should present yourselves in matching suits. Nice suits, nice because you are nice boys…except maybe for you!" She looks at James who chuckles at the remark. "Aaaand Done!" James looks at the suit in different perspective and likes what he sees. He then returns to his group who're ready for a show prayer, after given a "Ten minutes 'til curtain!"
"How long have we been dreaming of this?" James asks. Ted replies with a warm giving smile, "For a long long time!" Everyone agrees, for the longest time they have worked hard and played their own songs that everyone enjoys. "Are we going too fast?" Zach smirks, "No way man!" Brad then replies, "We're going to the top! Ever since we started we worked our Asses off!" Ted pitches in with more enthusiasm, "We kept on writing songs, kept that hot burning sensation of performing inside of us!" And Harry finishes off, "We have hearts of gold and fire!" James just stood there with a smile wider than ever and chuckles, "And that's why we're charming!" they all put hands together, "Let's get out there and melt some faces!" They break off with a big, "YEEAAHH!".
Inside the Music Hall, every girl, and boy of Arendelle flocked inside. Anna and the royal family came in as well, but up at the VIP box seats. Anna looks around in amazement of seeing the excitement and bustle, with instruments displayed, colorful lights beaming on the stage, and cameras all over the place. That is what Anna's confused about, "Dad, why are there cameras here?"
King Agdar looks at them and remembers what he and James talked about months ago, "James requested to have the cameras to be set up, so everyone who never got a chance to come to the concert can see it on the television." Anna looks at the thought and smiles, 'What a thoughtful thing to do!'
Meanwhile in Elsa's room, with a large TV set up for her, she looks at the excitement and for once in a longtime is excited and happy to see something amazing! She stands there with her gloved hands carrying something… holding it as if it is very precious to her. She looks at the object, for she wanted to give something to James as a token of his gift to her and being her friend.
For the first time in forever for Elsa, she felt genuinely happy and warm. However it still keeps her questioning, "Why is it that when you're with me James, my world feels warm?" But her mind is stopped as a booming voice comes out of the TV/Concert.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES! PLEASE PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE ONE AND THE ONLY…..THEEEEEE CHARMINGS!"
BOOM! A big explosion surprises the crowd. Everyone is caught off guard as the smoke clears to show The Band carrying their instruments and standing in their positions not moving with dark sunglasses on. James wields a Fender Jaguar sunburst, with Ted a Rickenbacker 330 Midnight Blue, Zach a Yamaha BB400 Orange Bass, Harry a Tama Star Maple Drum kit, and Brad wielding Roland 88 key Synthesizer with Rhodes Bass synth and Fender Hollow bodied Telecaster.
All the girls begin screaming with claps and whistles, with Anna joining in. The band continued to stand as the audience's noise dies down.
Elsa is blown away by their approach. It is almost like magic to her, she cannot believe it. But she is more concerned of where James as he is standing stiffer than the others. Is he nervous or scared? She doesn't know but it is reflecting on her as the ice begin to spread from her feet.
In one swoop the band take off their sunglasses and prepare to put on the show. Harry sits down and clashes the sticks together, "ONE…TWO….ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!"
(That Thing You Do!- The Wonders)
You, doing that thing you do
Breaking my heart into
A million pieces, Like you always do
And you, don´t mean to be cruel,
Ya never even knew About the heartache
I´ve been going through,
And I try and try to forget you girl
But it´s just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do
I, know all the games you play,
And I´m gonna find a way
To let you know that, You´ll be mine someday
Cause we, could be happy can´t you see?
If you´d only let me be the one to hold you
And keep you here with me
Cause I try and try to forget you girl,
But it´s just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do
On cue the drums brings the lights down to only show the band's suits light up as they continue to play. Only thing that is showing is their silhouette with stage wall lights pulsing.
I don´t ask a lot girl,
But I know one thing for sure,
It´s your love I haven´t got girl,
And I just can´t take it anymore, WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW
Elsa is amazed in seeing the hard work putting on this show. She can't stop smiling and tapping her feet in which few ice particles come out like sparks, but she doesn't notice.
All the while Ted goes to his solo as James comes in front of him as they both smile and enjoy playing guitar as if seeing who's the best. Then they both share the mic when they sing.
Cause we, could be happy, can´t you see?
If you´d only let me be the one to hold you
And keep you here with me
Cause it hurts me so Just to see you go
Around with someone new
And if I know you you´re doing that thing
Every day just doing that thing
And I can´t take you do that thing you do
The Crowd is silent for a moment. Breathing in the amount of impact they have been given as the band pant from the amount of energy they put out. Soon a roar of claps come out surprising the band.
They take the moment, bow, and begin their second song; with some of the band members taking their jackets off to reveal their shimmering buttoned shirts, however Ted and James keep their jackets on. James looks at the band and smiles with a lot of energy to take in for their second one. He puts his guitar down as he picks up his chromonica, "ONE…TWO…ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!"
(Everybody Need Somebody to Love- Blues Brothers)
The Band plays the next with James and Ted putting on their sunglasses. James dances which gets the ladies going crazy and nuts. "We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight. We would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Arendelle's royal family and nobles who have chosen to join us here at the Crocus Musical Hall at this time. We certainly hope you all enjoy the show and remember people that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive, and survive, there's still some things that make us all the same." He points at everyone and the camera, "You!" points at himself, "Me!" Then points at the band, "Them" Finally at the camera again, "Everybody, Everybody!" Ted soon takes up the stage and sings his heart out:
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love
Someone to love (Someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss (Sweetheart to miss)
Sugar to kiss (Sugar to kiss)
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you in the morning
You, you, you when my soul's on fire
You, you, yousometimes I feel
I feel a little sad inside
When my baby mistreats me, I never never have a place to hide, I need you! You! You!
The band play off the charts as James dances while playing his chromonica with everyone in the crowd start to get up from their seats joining in James' dance. King Agdar and Idun are happy at seeing the people having a good time, while also holding their laugh as they see Anna joining in the fun.
I need you, you, you, I need You!
Soon James takes a mic off the stand and gestures the camera to come close.
Elsa all the while in her room looks at James on the TV, seeing the eyes of fire and passion as he speaks, "You know, people, when you do find somebody. Hold that woman, hold that man, love him, please him, squeeze her, please her, hold, squeeze and please that person, give 'em all your love, signify your feelings with every gentle caress because it's so important to have that special somebody to hold, kiss, miss, squeeze, and please!"
Ted continues to sing:
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love (Everybody)
Someone to love (Needs somebody)
Sweetheart to miss (Everybody)
Sugar to kiss (Needs somebody)
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
I need you, you, you
In the morning
When my soul's on fire
When there ain't no one around
I need you, you, you, you
I need you, you, you, you
I need you, you
I need you!
The band play the last note 'til told to stop. James raises his hand, jumps high, and stomps for the band to stop on the note. The crowd cheer louder than the last song. Again the band bow with James putting his chromonica away and sunglasses, still energized than ever he looks to the band and the crowd, "Let's change it up!" Ted then changes his Rickenbacker 330 to a Gibson SG Studio as they start a new song, James smiles wider than ever as he says, "Ask the Lonely!"
(Ask the lonely-Journey)
You've been picked and it's over
What's the chip on your shoulder?
Out side were solid rainbows
Inside is where the heart grows
Picking up the pieces
Something more to believe in
As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
Hang on, don't you let go now
You know, with every heartbeat, we love
Nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely
You've got some fascination
With you high expectations
This love is your obsession
Your heart, your past possession
Let down your defenses
Won't be up to the one who cares
As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
Hang on, don't you let go now
You know, with every heartbeat, we love
Nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely
When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely
Ted plays the guitar, with all of his skills, as James comes over to and stands in front to bang his head to his guitar playing. Ted and James begin to go wild with their heads banging. Soon James takes up his mic and puts it between him and his cousin:
When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely
When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely
James soon dances wild, twirling around with the crowd cheering on.
Ask the lonely
James then gestures for the cameraman to come closer as he looks directly in the camera lense.
Elsa all the while, stood there with the ice; that previously crept out of her feet soon evaporate.
Hey, When you're down in deep despair
When you're down in deep despair
Ask the lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lonely
Lo-lo-lo-lonely
The band ends the song and everyone began cheering again!
As time went by the band were performing like no other. Backstage, Rick runs to Bill with major news, "Got a call from the studio! They're album just hit number one in the billboard charts and they got their first tour in Japan!" Bill loves it with pride to his son and nephew making their dreams a reality. However he feels that they're probably going too fast!
Ted sings with James playing the guitar and backing the vocals instead:
(Locked out of Heaven- Bruno Mars)
Oh oh oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can I just stay here?
Spend the rest of my days here?
Oh oh oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't I just stay here?
Spend the rest of my days here?
'Cause you make me feel like (like), I've been locked out of heaven (heaven)
For too long, for too long
Yeah you make me feel like, I've been locked out of heaven
For too long, for too long
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh!
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh!
The band then bow as they take a breather, taking a towel to the face or a drink of water. James all the while finally takes his jacket off as sweat begins to fall on his face rapidly. "How yall doin' Arendelle!?" The people respond with huge screams and whistles.
"Alright, alright, that's what I like to hear. Before we continue, I like to dedicate this to King Agdar and Queen Idun to allow us to perform for you guys! Give them a round of applause!" James gestures to the balcony where the King and his family are sitting. The Light shines on them as the royal family wave at the people.
"I also want to perform a special song. I have been writing this while the band and I were rehearsing and I thought this would be great to perform for all of you. I dedicate this song to you and a special friend." James says as he goes to the piano with Brad taking up a fender Stratocaster.
Elsa all the while, after hearing James' dedication puts her hand on her heart as it is beats rapidly. The frost creep back on the floor as she breathes in and out to try to control it, but she soon stops as the first melody from the piano is played. The Ice then did something unexpected; it swirled around into a beautiful ice floor:
The Snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like you're the Queen!
The wind is hollowing like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in heaven knows you've tried!
Your pain is real, you tried to hide,
let me help you girl so you can stride,
don't hold it in and let it show,
for now they know!
Let it Go, Let it Go, can't hold it back anymore!
Let it go, let it go, don't turn away and slam the door!
For I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on the cold never bothered you anyway!
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fear that once controlled you can't get to you at all
It sometime to see what you can do
To test the limits and break through
No right no wrongs no rules for you, be true
Let it go, Let it Go, You're one with the wind and sky
Let it Go, Let it Go, You no longer have to cry
Here you stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The band begin to play crazily as James goes nuts on the keys. The Crowd start cheering for the song as the lights turned from a deep blue to an icy blue color:
Your power flurries through the air into the ground
Your soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
You're never going back, the past is in the past
Let it Go, Let it Go, and you'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it Go, Let it Go, That perfect girl is gone
Here you stand in the light of day
Let storm rage ooooooon
The Cold never bothered you anyway
Everyone cheers with standing ovation! James takes a bow and gestures for the band to join the bow. He soon turns to them with a face carrying a sad smile for this last song is very special to him, "Thank you Arendelle you've been the most amazing audience we've ever had! This last song is very special to me and I want to perform it for you!"
Bill and Ted know this song personally… it is the song that James first wrote when his parents gave him the help he needed. It was the three words that made him remember that no matter what happens to him, they'll be there.
(I'll be there- Jackson 5)
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)
Elsa cannot believe what she's hearing, she doesn't know if this is a song about love or a song about helping a friend. However the frost began to disappear when the song continues, but this time Ted takes over the song:
I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength
I'll keep holdin' on(holdin' on)
Yes I will, yes I will
James then returns over with the vocals:
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, is all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there to protect you (yeah baby)
With unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name, I'll be there (I'll be there)
When James stops singing he turns away from the audience as tears start to fall on his cheek! Elsa can see he is hurting much more and wishes she can reach into the tv and comfort him.
I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength
I'll keep holdin' on(holdin' on)
Yes I will, yes I will
James returns as he takes a deep breath to continue and hone his feelings:
If you should ever find someone new
I know he better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't
I'll be there (I'll be there)
Don't you know baby, yeah, yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just call my name, I'll be there (I'll be there)
Just look over your shoulder honey, ooooh
I'll be there, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there (I'll be there)
Just look over your shoulder honey, ooooh
I'll be there, I'll be there
Just Call my name (I'll be there) I'll be there
Oooh Oooh Oooh I'll be there, I'll be there
As the keyboard and all the instruments began to play the final not, something unexpected happened. James can't hold his feelings anymore as he tries to stay on point in his voice:
I'll beeeeeeeeeee
He breaks and falls to his knees and cries with his mic free hand covering his tearful eyes. The crowd cheers for him with some crying and sobbing for the song. Backstage Bill and Rick are moved, on the balcony the king, queen, and Anna are mesmerized and emotionally driven with the princess cover her two hands over mouth with eyes filled with tears.
Anna then begins to remember the days of playing with Elsa and how much they both were together, having each other's back.
Meanwhile Elsa in her room, she is heartbroken of seeing James sobbing! She has never seen James so vulnerable before. All she wanted to do now is leave her room and dash to the music hall and hug him with sympathy and to tell him that she's there for him and to say, "I love you!" She catches herself in saying that and soon thinks of what she said, "I can't love someone I just met. This is crazy!" She soon relaxes, but then hears a musical melody going on in her head!
Back at the Crocus Music Hall, James comes back up with his face having tear marks , "I will be…Oh I will be" Keyboard then plays a melody again as the others join in, "I will be…" "Oh I will be" James then finishes it off with a bit of a show off, "Oh I will beeeeeeeeEEEEEE" He jumps up and stomps for the band to finish it off! "THEEERRRRRREEEEEE (Oooooooooohhhhhhh)!" The band plays one final note and then…lights out!
Everyone cries and cheers for joy as they return to bow and give their farewells. "THANK YOU ARENDELLE! GOOD NIGHT!" They leave as they get backstage.
Hours later, at night in the castle to celebrate their first concert, they're soon told that they got a world tour starting in Japan. The Record studio also soon released their mixtape songs in a album compilation with their first single hit, "I wanna hold your hand!" as their album title. The band is happy, but James feels they're moving too fast; which Ted is also feeling the same thing as well.
Elsa was sitting on her bed waiting for James…she heard of them that they have to leave for their start of their world tour. Elsa is happy, but at the same time doesn't want James to leave yet. For the first time in her life, she has a friend she can talk to. She wants him to stay and the thought of him gone, begins to hurt her with her heart aching each time the thought gets to her. Suddenly, a knock comes to the door. She turns to see James in what looks like a suit with his hair messed up and face red.
Elsa didn't care, she quickly went up to him and hugged him who he also did the same. But he soon falls to his knees with a slurry giggle coming out of his mouth, "whoops! I guesh I didn't she shat cumin'!" Elsa pulls the hug to see his face fully red and glassy eyes. "Are you drunk!?" James just pulls his arms up innocently from the exclaimed princess.
"Got a little carried away from the drinking…okay I got carried away, but I came here for something I wanted to give you." He quickly stands up, but still a little wobbly. He takes one step and falls until caught by Elsa who takes him to her bed to sit.
"You're pretty strong!" James says with an impressed voice. Elsa blushes a bit, as she looks away, "Thanks!" He then takes a deep breath and takes out a box from his pants as Elsa does the same.
They both turn to one another, "I wanted to-" "Here's a-" they both laugh a bit with a blush. As they exchange their gifts to one another not knowing what it is! James opens his as he looks at it with amazement, for the gift is an ice blue crystal in the shape of a snowflake with a white gold chain. However, with one touch it is cold. He looks at Elsa with amazement with a smile. Elsa explains, "I wanted to give you something to remember me and as a token of being my best friend!" James looks at Elsa with a large Smile as he then puts his hand on her hand, in which she jerks away. However James catches her hand, pulls the glove off, and places her hand, palm side up, onto his. Elsa feels a sensation of warmth coming from his hand as his smile beams brighter, "Don't be afraid Elsa…Be happy of who you are!" Elsa cocks her eyes of wonder, as James finishes, "A beautiful gifted person!" Elsa blushes a bit as she changes the subject quickly… "So ummm, what did you get me?"
James smirks a bit knowing she's trying to forget what just happened and goes along with it, "Well I know I won't be coming to Arendelle for a while, so I decided to give you something for contact." She opens the box to see a touch screen phone. She's heard of these phones, but never before had seen one. "It is the one and only Hamada Phone design. It is indestructible and it can withstand the coldest of winters and hottest of summers. It also has voice recognition and face recognition, in laymen's terms it can only be active by you. Go on try it!" Elsa looks at the phone in which recognizes her and asks for her voice. Elsa looks at James who nods and smiles. She says, "Hello?" then the phone activates showing all the apps and everything, until says, "HELLO ELSA J"
James then takes out his phone and punches a few things in which Elsa's phone responds with his name being recognized. "My contact number is the only one. So you and I can always be in contact! I like you Elsa…and I want us to be friends 'til the end! You're an amazing person and I know you hear this a million times, but…. don't give up! There's always light on the other side of the tunnel!" James didn't react in time as Elsa hugs him with tears streaming down her eyes, as they both fall off of the bed!
James soon breaks off the hug as he tries to get up, but Elsa gently holds him down as they lock eyes. James knows those eyes and wants to stop it. Elsa leans down to him as her lips are millimeters apart from his….
"Yo James! You in here Co-"Ted bursts open the door with glassy eyes. James is relieved that his drunken cousin stopped them as the musician and princess quickly got off each other! Ted is too drunk to notice that he is in the Princess's room and thinks his cousin's with a groupie. So he smugly smiles and says, "Sorry man, you have fun!" He leaves.
James soon gets up, while also helping Elsa up, and soon got each other brushing off them. He soon leaves, until he offers his hand out to her. Elsa knows what he's thinking and refuses. James is disappointed and says, "Come on Elsa you can't always stay in here…you can control your powers!" Elsa backs away. James sighs as he understands and leaves before giving a hug to Elsa who jolts in surprise, but then returns it.
"One of these days Elsa…Your gonna have to let it go!" they stayed in that position for a while, until he breaks it off and closes the door leaving, the Princess in a state of disappointment. But knows for sure that James is special like her… in a way he really is charming! As soon as she knows it…that musical melody is playing in her head again.
