*DISCLAIMER TIME! (*readers* woohoo I love disclaimer time!) Okay, I do not own the song More Then Just the Spare. Even if it was cut out of the movie, it still belongs to Disney. (I totally suggest listening to some of the outtakes from Frozen, I really liked some of the songs!)
Also, Kai does say 'damn' and 'dammit' in this chapter. I'm not sure if you guys consider those swear words, but I thought I should give a heads up, just in case. Ummm, all I own are my OCs and the plot, sooo, you can read now :)
Essly woke up early. Too early. It wasn't even time for their morning exercises yet!
Yawning, she climbed down to the floor. Glancing at her friend, who was still soundly asleep, Essly decided not to wake her. The Indian originated girl pulled on her casual clothes. It consisted of capris, sandals and a t-shirt that read, "I was whelmed until I got traught and crashed the mode. Now I'm feeling the aster and you can be as chalant as you like with me because I'm turbed. Noted. I'm in renial. It's a YJ thing."
Essly paused at the door, then grabbed her iPod before leaving the room. Putting on her Mickey Mouse headphones and putting her iPod on shuffle, she waited for the first song to play. Essly grinned to herself as More Than Just the Spare started to play. One of her favourite songs from the list of Frozen outtakes.
"I'm not part of the town, not born to be queen
Just somebody hopelessly in-between
She's the scholar, athlete, poet
I'm the screw up, don't I know it
But then who could ever compare?
Of course they're gonna think I'm just the spare
Well I won't care
So I'm the extra button on a coat
In case another one comes loose
But if I have to be a button
Why can't I be a button that's of use? (oops!)
I may lack style and I may lack grace
And once in a while I might fall on my face
But this little button deserves a place in the sky
This button wants to fly-!
Wait, buttons can't fly, it doesn't make any sense!
So I'm a rusty horseshoe hanging up
Over somebody's old barn door
And I'll be hanging there forever
Just wishing the horse had one leg more
And maybe I can't be the perfect one
And maybe I err on the side of fun
But horseshoes need a chance to run somewhere
This horseshoe is more than just a spare
Someday I'll find my thing
A thing that's all my own
That thing that makes me part of something
Not just all alone
If only all this feeling I have in my heart
Could mean something to someone, how I'd love to play that part
So I'm just the second born sister
Who most of the town ignores
Like a button, like a horseshoe
Like a girl who's bad at metaphors
Maybe I don't have a magic touch
And maybe I don't have a talent as such
Just this heart with much too much to share
So I'll never be the heir, but I'm more than just a spare (Sorry!)"
Essly laughed as the song finished. She absolutely loved singing! Whenever she entered the Ninjago Talent Show, she gave those Royal Blacksmiths a run for their money! Mostly because she didn't just sing.
She could do a variety of dances, she could tightrope walk, juggle, do flips and trick on the trapeze and so much more! Her parents were always astonished at her abilities, with her father saying that all this talent must have come from her mother, though her mother always said the opposite.
"That was amazing!"
Essly spun around. Kai was standing there in his pajamas, looking impressed. "But you do know it's four forty-five in the morning, right?"
"Sorry! Sorry sorry sorry!" Essly cried. "I didn't mean to wake you up!"
Kai laughed. "It's fine. I was already awake. Seriously though, you're an amazing singer!"
Essly blushed. "Thank you." Wow, Kai's so nice! And not to mention handsome with those . . . fiery amber eyes and that spiky brown hair . . . Essly's own green eyes suddenly widened. No, no, no! I can't think about Kai like this! He's Marie-Grace's brother! Snap out of it, Essly!
"Are . . . you alright?" Kai asked, looking at Essly's nervous face.
"Fine! Just fine . . ." Essly replied, forcing a smile on her face.
Kai hated to admit it, but Essly was pretty cute. With her caramel skin . . . Wavy black hair . . . Sparkling green eyes . . . And damn, those freckles . . . Kai shook off all of those thoughts. I can't like Essly! She's Marie-Grace's best friend! Even if she is beautiful and talented and the sweetest girl alive . . . Dammit, Kai! Snap out of it!
Neither knew that the other was thinking the same thoughts. They just both knew that they would not be confessing their feelings anytime soon.
