I checked that all the songs I wrote were there, they were, "Arya, you go first!"

"Can't Tyler go first? I don't think I know how to do it…" she looked at him innocently. I had a feeling there was going to be something very (very!) interesting in store for them.

Tyler stood nervously, he had never been too sure of himself, nor did he stand up for himself, yet for the past months after he admitted to me that he had feelings for Arya he had started to yell at people when my own voice started to rasp. We had both changed, his for the best, mine for worse. Though I seemed to be stung a bit more when people said words that felt like they were burning at my flesh.

"Alright Tyler. Pick from the hat!" I yelled happily…all right, so I had cheated, only, not on anyone else's but Tyler's. I had the perfect song for him.

He reached his hand into my hat, and then pulled out a small slip of paper, I already knew what it was to say, since all of them were the same. What? He needs a push in the right direction!

"RYAN CABRERA!" screamed Tyler in disbelief, "Ugh, CADEN! You set me up! I want to pick again!" If you can't tell he's not a Ryan Cabrera person.

"No! That's what you picked, and that's what you'll get!" I screamed right back.

He grumpily picked up the microphone when the slow music started to play.

So much beauty in life
Shining on the outside
Empty on the inside
I get lost sometimes
Blinded by the flashing lights
Distractions always in my eyes
So I'm following the sound, the sound of my heart
Beating
You can take it all away
I don't need it
Underneath, I'll still be the same
You can take it all away
I don't need it, it's not me
You can take it all, take it all away
I'll still be the same
Are you hiding still?
Don't you want to love yourself?
Don't you know that someone will?
Time can turn it around
Leave it all and strip it down
That's the only way to find it out
Are you following the sound, the sound of your heart?
Beating
Coming in with nothing, leaving with the same
it's all inside
Coming in with nothing; the only thing that saves
is here inside

"Well?" Tyler still looked annoyed.

"Aw!" Arya, Saphira, and I all yelled.

Tyler blushed in response. "Thanks," he added uncomfortably.

"SAPHIRA!" all of our little cluster (A/N: Teehee CLUSTER!) shrieked, including the usually quiet Murtagh and Tyler. Murtagh seemed more outspoken in our…. What would you call it? World?

Saphira got up off the couch reluctantly leaving her seat next to Thorn. She reached her human hand into the fedora (Which I hope you all know is a style of hat!) and pulled out a slip of paper, "Who are the Cheetah Girls?"

"Um, Caden? Why do you have their CD?"

"My foster grandma gave me the Disney Mania 4 CD for Christmas, apparently Erika didn't tell her anything about me," I replied gracefully as I could, a blush creeping up my face.

The dance music started in the background as Tyler hit the play button.

Saphira held the microphone up and hoped she would sing well.

If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.

In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true

I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
all they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right

Oh if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I would have no inkling of
If our time has gone too fast
How precious life can be...
I've lived at last...

I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is saying we were right
we were right

And if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
If I never knew you (oh)
If I never knew you

"Is everybody here a good singer?" Murtagh grumbled, apparently doubting his singing abilities.

"Since you think you're so bad why don't you go next?" Arya replied.

"Because I'm a bad singer." the rider retorted.

"How do you know?" I joined in.

"I just do." he riposted.

Alrighty, how do ya'll like it so far? I know that its only long because of the two songs but I really want some random kinda funny stuff that people do when they're bored. Anyway, I need a song for Murtagh to sing. SO PLEASE HELP ME! I've never even heard Saphira's song, well like 30 seconds of it. Teehee.
