Song of Our Lives Chapter 9, a gakuen alice fanfic

CHAPTER 9 – The First Concert

The Gang entered the stage after the curtain was pulled off. Ruka led Hotaru to her position. (well they are now a couple when Ruka went to her room and confessed the week before) They were now in their positions and ready. Mikan then has the most grand entrance, she came in from the stage below, gaining a cheer from the crowd. As soon as Mikan was out on the stage, she deep breathed and put up a strong nullification barrier around the field as far as her eyes can reach. The Gang, specially Natsume felt it, since Mikan entered the stage, Natsume was on alert, he can't risk the love of his life.

The music started as Ruka and Natsume as lead guitarist this time and Koko as the bass started to strum their guitars…and Mikan started singing and dance the steps she perfected… (Cool Rider by Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2)

If you really want to know (Mochu started the drums)
What I want in a guy...
Well, I'm lookin' for a dream on a mean machine
With hell in his eyes.
I want a devil in skin tight leather,
And he's gonna be wild as the wind.
And one fine night, I'll be holdin' on tight...

To a coooool rider, a coooool rider.
If he's cool enough,
He can burn me through and through.
Whhoa ohhhh
If it takes forever,
Then I'll wait forever.
No ordinary boy,
No ordinary boy is gonna do.
I want a rider that's cool.

Mikan danced around Natsume then around her friends then went back in the middle of the stage.

That's the way it's gonna be,
And that's the way that I feel.
I want a whole lot more than the boy next door,
I want hell on wheels.
Just give me a fine motorcycle,
With a man growin' out of the seat.
And move aside, cause I'm gonna ride...

I don't want no ordinary guys,
Comin' on strong to me.
They don't know what I'm lookin' for,
They don't know what I need.
They're gonna know when he gets here,
Cause the crowd will be shakin'.
I'll do anything to let him know,
That I'm his, his for the takin'.

I want a coooooool rider,
A cool, cool, cool, cool rider.
I want a coooooool rider,
A cool, cool, cool, cool rider.
I want a C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R.
I need a C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R.

After the first song, Mikan was tired because the nullification alice is taking a lot in her energy but she has to give her best. Then she shouted in her head phones with mike, "Good evening everyone! We were glad to have you all here, did you enjoyed the first song?!" The crowd went crazy and shouted yes! Some shouts more! "Wanna hear the girls behind my back sing and dance too?" Mikan asked them while leaning her body towards the audience waiting for their answer, the crowd went crazy again, as if on cue, the boys started to play and Yuu uses the trumpet, Hotaru didn't joined this song since she has to play the organ but deep inside she doesn't want to dance around and sing… (Girl For All Seasons by Grease 2 movie casts)

(Anna sings this part) I'll be yours in springtime when the flowers are in bloom.
We'll wander through the meadows, in all their sweet perfume.
And every night I'll hold you tight beneath that April moon.

(All the girls sing this) Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
I'll be your girl for all seasons, all the year through.
Your girl for all seasons,
'Cause I love, yes I love to be everything to you, just you.

(Sumire sings this part) I'll be yours in summer, when we're playin' in the sand.
We'll spend the day together, makin' love and gettin' tanned.
And on the beach at sunset, when we're walking hand in hand.

(All the girls sing this) Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
I'll be your girl for all seasons, all the year through.
Your girl for all seasons,
'Cause I love, yes I love to be everything to you, just you.

(Nonoko sings this part) If you fall in the fall, you'll see, September can be heavenly.
If you fall, say you'll fall for me,
When autumn leaves are fallin' from the trees.

(Mikan sings this part) I'll be yours in winter, when the snow is on the ground.
I'll warm you through December, and I'll always be around.
We'll kiss below the mistletoe, when Santa comes to town.

(All the girls sing this) Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
I'll be your girl for all seasons, all the year through.
Your girl for all seasons,
'Cause I love, yes I love to be everything to you, just you.

Girl for all seasons, I'll be your girl for all seasons.
(Mikan only sings this part) Summer in sunshine, winter in snowflakes.
Springtime in showers, falling in love.
Summer, winter, spring, and fall
Yes, I'll be everything to you.

Mikan thought who said that a concert is not tiring, she will kill him or her. Mikan was sweating coldly now, she just wished that her friends hadn't noticed this much. Then Mikan singed her hit songs from the first album as well the first song she had written, Baby Now That I've Found You. The singing of songs without a break while maintaining the barrier is making Mikan really weak. But she has a strong determination. Natsume noticed Mikan is not well, he was ready to catch her anytime.

"This is the second to the last song so please enjoy it." Mikan announced. The crowd was sad but cheered for her to go own… (Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie)

(Natsume only plays the guitar part this time) Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

(Everyone started to blend their instruments with Natsume)

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
(Natsume only plays the guitar part this time)

Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

(Everyone started to blend their instruments with Natsume)

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
(Mikan stared and singed in front of Natsume)

Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
(Mikan looked back at the audience)

But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

Mikan then drink some water beside her, then talked again to the audience…"This last song was written by me and my boyfriend who is the lead guitarist… meet him, Natsume Hyuuga!" Mikan shouted as she went beside Natsume and pecked his cheek. "This song is just short but means a lot to us so please enjoy this last song and enjoy the night for the couples around there!" Mikan then seated on one of the design on the stage beside Natsume. The lights were now dimmed. Natsume started to play the guitar and later … (Broken by Seether and Amy Lee)

Natsume: I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Natsume and Mikan: 'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Natsume: You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore

Mikan: The worst is over now and we can breathe again (The gang started to blend in and give their best and their hearts in this last song of the night)
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away (Natsume second voiced)
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight (Natsume second voiced)
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Natsume and Mikan: 'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away…(repeat twice)

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Natsume: You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore

Then the curtain was closed. The audience clapped and gave them while standing. Mikan then collapsed all of a sudden, its good she's beside Natsume so he catch her on time. Then everyone run to them, including Narumi, the director, principal and Subaru who were from the backstage. Subaru immediately called for an ambulance as he check up on Mikan. Mikan is sweating, so cold and pale for Natsume and he doesn't like it.

Guys, the songs I had included is really nice, its from few of my favorite songs, I can't help but put it in here so that I can share it to those who don't know the song. Hope you enjoy this chapter guys.
