So, Tomoko's book was foreshadowing, oh well time to dig in i guess. Sorry this week was meant to be the fight this time but i need some more time for that to be done, but don't worry you'll get two chapters for that, but in the mean time in this tide over chapter coming from a besieged fort near you the team MSFT singing duo.

So yes we got some singing which will be like this also when you see (Space) in the song its a space i had to do this to get the verses spaced out correctly, so any of you wanting to add a song like this here's a heads up.

Additionally i do not own any of the songs and i wasn't going to make you suffer my terrible song writing.

Any mistakes or tips let me know.

Anyway i hope you enjoy.


Frenda walked through the store house to the bed Leo was laying in, she saw Faye and Wynn asleep kneeling next to the bed, Frenda smiled at the sight. Leo was awake brushing the twos hair.

"Hey, you feeling better?" Frenda whispered as she handed Leo a cup of tea. Leo groaned as he tried to sit up slightly, making Faye and Wynn hold tighter to their friend.

"I'm feeling a little better, thank you." Leo struggled to say a little short of breath from trying sit up more but still smiled as he looked at his friends "Still hurts a lot to move, my arms a mess and i'll have a harder time keeping an eye on these two." Leo replied pointing at his covered left eye.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be, you didn't do this, besides if it meant these two are safe, then i have no complaints their like my little sisters."

"I can lend some aura if you want?"

"Thanks but no, i've seen the soldiers making defences and checking their weapons, are the bandits coming back?"

Frenda debated telling the truth, Leo had already suffered she didn't want to stress him out, or the two girls if they knew.

"Take that as a yes then." Leo sighed as she leaned back.

"How did...?"

"You looked troubled, it was a guess from there, don't worry i won't tell them till i have to, they said you looked after them while they were here, were they any trouble?"

"No, they were well behaved."

"What Faye, well behaved, please tell me how you did that I need that secret, she's a right tearaway with me."

Said cat Faunus stirred a little at her name being mentioned.

Frenda smiled a little "She was hyper, but she was more worried about you, actually I wanted to ask you something, if that's ok."

"Go ahead."

"Wynn and Faye spoke of a shadow person with golden eyes, what happened?"

"I didn't actually fight them, I started to with my cross bow, then someone dropped from the sky with a pair of claws, they had this mask on looked like an evil clown, all they did was laugh, I only got one shot off before they did this." Leo pointed to his face.

"Sorry I can't be of much help." Leo sighed.

"No, you were, just on someone different."

"Why do you want to know?"

"Well we're plan on making them pay so I need to know who to keep an eye out for."

"I wish you luck you'll need it."

"Thanks, is their anything you need by the way?"

"If they are coming, can i have a weapon?"

"Your not fighting!"

"If they are coming, i want to know i can at least try and protect these two, please, i'll stay in the store house but please, let me protect these two, their all i have left."

Frenda paused she knew she shouldn't, but Leo's want to protect these two tugged at her heart "Ok, i'll see if i can find you a pistol, just stay in here, got it, those two need you just as much as you need them, ok?"

Leo nodded "Thank you."

Frenda smiled "I'll let you rest up, you've earned it and i'll see about that pistol."

"Thank you, for looking after them Frenda." Leo spoke after her as she left.

As Frenda walked off she saw the soldiers around little fires trying to keep warm and making warm drinks. As Frenda walked around she saw Sininen sitting on top of one of the trucks looking out at the gate.

"Hey bro, you ok?"

"Oh, hey sis, yeah I'm fine." Sininen smiled as he got off the truck and signalled for Frenda to follow him. The two walked silently to the base of the wall where no one could hear them.

Sininen sighed before he talked "Honestly I'm stressed to all hell right now."

"Then why say your fine?"

"Because I'm an officer and I'm second in command now, I need to show leadership to those troops, if they see me scared, they'll be more scared, if I show that I'm calm and collected the troops fears will lessen, its stressful and needs a good acting face."

"Yeah, you always did hate acting in school, especially when you had to do a princess."

"Oi, I still have the scares from that."

Frenda giggled "Aw, but you looked so cute in a skirt, doing your little dance and twirls."

Sininen got Frenda in a headlock before ruffling up her hair "Oh really, you evil girl, maybe I should tell your teammates about that time, you got scared by a kitten."

"Ach, no you fiend, why would you betray me."

Sininen let his sister go laughing, Frenda picked her hat up and laughed too "You ok now?" she struggled to ask through her laughs.

After he had settled down Sininen hugged Frenda as he replied "Yes, thanks sis."

"Anytime."

Frenda walked back through some of the camp fires and found Fídi, Beurling, Tomoko and Tammy standing around the camp fire.

"Hey, where's Maple?"

"Oh, she volunteered to keep watch from the tower for a bit." Tammy explained as she handed a cup of tea to Frenda.

"You should never have read that book." Frenda sighed to Tomoko.

"Huh, why?"

"It was foreshadowing."

"Oh, so I guess you don't want to know what the ending is?"

"Only if its good."

"It was, they won."

"That's not very comforting." Beurling muttered.

"Well we're in a better position than they were."

"How?"

"Oh well they didn't have a cup of tea."

Frenda groaned "That was terrible." she giggled.

"Hey, at least I'm trying, why don't you come up with something to cheer people up."

"I have an idea, but I'm not sure one of you will like it."

"What is it?"

"Beurling sings a song or two."

"What!" Shouted the brawler.

"That's not a bad idea." Tammy smiled.

"I'm not a performer, besides why would I sing?"

"When people are scared Beurling, they either cry or sing, which would you prefer to do?" Fídi asked.

"Beurling." Tomoko whispered to her partner "It couldn't hurt, plus it might do some good for the tribe's people we saved at least."

Beurling bit her bottom lip.

"I'll do it with you if you want, I know a few of your songs." Tomoko tried to encourage.

"Aw come on Beurling, they could do with something happy after what they went through." Tomoko added.

Beurling sighed "Alright, but only a few songs and I'm not making a habit of this for you."

Beurling muttered something Frenda couldn't hear as she and Tomoko walked off to barricade of trucks.

Frenda ran to the store house and told everyone to be quite and come out if they could.

Leo was helped out by Faye and Wynn and stood next to Frenda.

"What's going on?" Sininen asked.

Frenda pointed to the barricade.

Tammy and Fídi were stood in front of the barricade, Tomoko and Beurling stood up on the trucks, the pair nodded to each other before they began to sing. Beurling singing the words with Tomoko humming the tune.

Land of bear and land of eagle

Land that gave us birth and blessing

Land that called us ever homewards

We will go home across the mountains

(Space)

We will go home, we will go home

We will go home across the mountains

We will go home, we will go home

We will go home across the mountains

(Space)

Land of freedom land of heroes

Land that gave us hope and memories

Hear our singing hear our longing

We will go home across the mountains

(Space)

We will go home, we will go home

We will go home across the mountains

We will go home, we will go home

We will go home across the mountains

(Space)

Land of sun and land of moonlight

Land that gave us joy and sorrow

Land that gave us love and laughter

We will go home across the mountains

(Space)

We will go home, we will go home

We will go home across the mountains

We will go home, we will go home

We will go home across the mountains

(Space)

When the land is there before us

We have gone home across the mountains

We will go home, we will go home

We will go home across the mountains

Once Beurling had finished the crowd clapped, once they were done Beurling started the next song. Although this time Tammy and Fídi joined in.

I thought I heard the Colonel crying

March brave boys there's no denying

Cannons roaring - drums abeating

March brave boys there's no retreating

Love Farewell

(Space)

If I should fall in far off battle

Cannons roar and rifles rattle

Thoughts fly homeward - words unspoken

Valiant hearts are oftimes broken

Love Farewell

(Space)

Will you go or will you tarry

Will you wait or will you marry

Would this moment last for ever

Kiss me now and leave me never

Love Farewell

(Space)

I thought I heard the Colonel crying

March brave boys there's no denying

Cannons roaring - drums abeating

March brave boys there's no retreating

Love Farewell

The third song Tomoko started by going "loo-li lai-lay…" before Beurling took over.

Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby

Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay

And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow

Bless you with love for the road that you go.

(Space)

May you sail far to the far fields of fortune

With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet

And may you need never to banish misfortune

May you find kindness in all that you meet.

(Space)

May there always be angels to watch over you

To guide you each step of the way

To guard you and keep you safe, from all harm

Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay.

(Space)

May you bring love and may you bring happiness

Be loved in return to the end of your days

Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you

I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay.

(Space)

May there always be angels to watch over you

To guide you each step of the way

To guard you and keep you safe from all harm

Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay...

Beurling sang one more, Frenda remembered this one as the one she'd heard Beurling sing the first time she heard the brawler sing.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there

For once she was a true love of mine

(Space)

Have her make me a cambric shirt

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Without no seam nor fine needle work

And then she'll be a true love of mine

(Space)

Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

And gather it all with a basket of flowers

And then she'll be a true love of mine

(Space)

Have her wash it in yonder dry well

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell

And then she'll be a true love of mine

(Space)

Have her find me an acre of land

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Between the sea foam and over the sand

And then she'll be a true love of mine

(Space)

Plow the land with the horn of a lamb

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Then sow some seeds from north of the dam

And then she'll be a true love of mine

(Space)

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

And gather it all in a bunch of heather

And then she'll be a true love of mine

(Space)

If she tells me she can't, I'll reply

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Let me know that at least she will try

And then she'll be a true love of mine

(Space)

Love imposes impossible tasks

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Though not more than any heart asks

And I must know she's a true love of mine

(Space)

Dear, when thou has finished thy task

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Come to me, my hand for to ask

For thou then art a true love of mine

Once the four were finished the whole fort clapped Tomoko and Beurling took a small bow to the crowd, Frenda guessed Tomoko was making Beurling do it as Beurling looked a little uncomfortable.

"That was beautiful." Wynn whispered as she looked on the verge of tears. Frenda smiled as she left to go see the pair of singers.

"Well done you two."

"Oh, shut up, I'm not doing this again." Beurling muttered, though Frenda could see the blush the girl was trying to hid.

(Time skip-one hour later)

Frenda was up on the tower seeing Maple handing her leader a cup of tea.

"How'd you get Beurling to sing?"

"I didn't Tomoko did, looked at Beurling with cute eyes and was like, I'll sing with you."

"Oh, leave them alone." Maple giggled.

Just then a cough caught her attention turning the two saw Tomoko walking up to the pair with a cups of tea for Maple "I wish you'd stop, it's embarrassing."

"I'll stop when you two are walking down the aisle arm in arm."

Maple looked at her watch "Ok you two bed, we need to get as much rest as we can."

"Good night Maple." Tomoko smiled as she left.

"About time one admitted, Good might boss." Frenda smiled as she got up and went to bed.

"Good night Frenda."


Also I kind of want a camera to circle around Beurling and Tomoko as they are singing now and Frenda stop stealing my lines.

The songs Beurling was singing in order of being sung i recommend you actually listen to them they are quite good:

We will go home - from the King Arthur film (2004)

Love Farwell - sung by John Tams from the Sharpe series

Secret Garden - Sleepsong

Scarborough Fair.
