Hi everyone! You are so lucky that my cousin's computer picked up the internet here in Las Vegas. I wasn't going to update in another week or so. But now that I'm here, to my reviewers...
Midnight Angel Sakura- Since you're the first one to give me a request, I'll try to put in later. I hope you like this chapter as much as you did the last one.
xioalinwind- My break is over at last. After the trip I had, and all the boredom I faced, I'm sorry that I ever asked for a break. LOL!
In this chapter, it'll be like a real musical. And by that I mean that someone will say something, and everybody will start singing and dancing. I know it's weird, but bear with me. This chapter will be told from Robin's POV. Enjoy!
On with the story!
The song in this chapter will be 'Leave It All To Me,' by Miranda Cosgrove
Robin's POV
I knew she would be mad, she always was. After she asked what took me so long, she rambled on and on that I should fix Ryan's audition, and have everyone laugh. But hey, I'm fair.
It's a good thing that I have a short attention span. I can never focus on something that I don't want to. I usually walk away until whoever it is gets a clue. Other times, like when I'm in class, I completely zone out, and think about stuff like what's for lunch. Now is one of the times when I can't walk away, so I stood there, and didn't listen to a word.
All I did was stand there, and look at her with a lazy look in my eye. I did have a little voice in the back of my head that told me to pay attention because she was one of my best friends. But an even louder little voice was shouting at the smaller voice to shut-up.
"Robin. Robin. Robin!" Kimiko was yelling at me now. I half-heartedly left my subconscious world, and went back to reality. "Did you listen what I was saying to you?"
"Yeah. Sure. Whatever." I really didn't want this right now. "Look. I have to go meet up with the band, tell them I found someone that wants to audition, and then I have to finish this new song I've been writing in math class."
She raised her eyebrow crossed her arms, and said, "Okay, I know you have to meet up with the band, but what's this about a new song?"
I took out a crumpled piece of lined paper from my pocket, and handed it to her.
She unfolded it, and stared at it for a few seconds, then looked back at me. "What's this?"
I shrugged. "I wrote it when Mr. Speelman (that's my real science teacher) was going on and on about how opposites attract."
She stared at me again. "You only got this much done?"
"Hey, give me a break. She caught me before I could write anymore."
"Sing it."
Now I'm surprised. "What?"
"You heard me, sing it." She wasn't kidding. (see if you can guess what she's 'writing.' I do not own this song, or any others)
"Okay. But just so you know, I always start with the chorus and work it from there. And I'm kind of stuck on it."
"Whatever. I just want to know," she looked at me hard again, "is it a love song?"
She was talking about Ryan. "No."
She stared me down. I hate it when she does that. I gave in. "Okay. Sort of. But it's more of a get up and dance, not a couple thing. Besides, what do you expect, a song on how opposite magnets attract?"
Kimiko dropped her gaze. "Okay, okay, I just wanted to know. Now show me."
"I know some people say.
That opposites attract.
If that's the truth then we.
We will be together forever.
It's like I got nothing to do but think about you.
I've all the time in the world."
Kimiko smiled at me. "Nice. I liked it. But did you ever think that you need another line to add?"
"That's what I thought," I said. "But already told you, I'm stuck."
"Oh well," she said. "You've got an awesome band to help you out." She grinned evilly. "And, you've got Ryan." She said his name as if she was saying that he was my boyfriend.
I turned around, and she ran ten feet away from me. Smart girl. "Shut-up!" I chased her around a bit, until I caught her, and put her in a head-lock.
"Take it back," I said.
"Okay, okay," she grunted. "I take it back." I let go, and she jumped a few feet away from me. "You wanna go to the mall later?"
I swear, other than Judy, she is the weirdest person I know. I was just putting her in a head-lock, and then she asks if I want to go to the mall. Is that normal?
"Sure."
A couple of boys that I've never met in my life walked over to me, and started flirting! Normal girls would be shocked, but I was used to strange boys talking to me. It was weird, but you get used to it. When you're the lead singer to the most awesome band in the city, you learn to get used to weird stuff like this.
They went away after a few minutes, and Kimiko looked at me oddly.
"What?" That stare is even more chilling than the one that she uses to get stuff out of me.
"Nothing," she shrugged. "No offense, but you never act like some spoiled brat that we call the 'populars,' but more guys like you than anyone else put together. Then all the teachers like you when you're not the smartest one in class, again, no offense. Anyone can count on you for anything. And, you're the leader of an awesome band. It's like you've got the world in the palm of your hand."
I raised my eyebrow. I never thought about it before because, well, no one ever brought it up.
"It may look that way, but it's rough all over. But that's no reason to stop trusting me. You just have to leave it all to me."
"I know, you see.
Somehow the world will change to me.
And be so wonderful." No one was listening, so she jumped up on the nearest lunch table, and continued.
"Live life, breath air.
I know somehow we're gonna get there.
And feel so wonderful.
I will make you change your mind.
These things happen all the time.
And it's all real.
I'm telling you just how I feel.
So wake up the members of my nation." She gestured to everybody watching.
"It's your time to be.
There's no chance unless you take one.
And the time to see the brighter side of every situation.
Some things are meant to be.
So give me your best and leave the rest to me.
I know, it's time.
To raise the hand that draws the line.
And be so wonderful.
Golden sunshine.
I know somehow it's gonna be mine.
And feel so wonderful.
Show me what you can become.
There's a dream in everyone.
And it's all real.
I'm telling you just how I feel.
So wake up the members of my nation.
It's your time to be.
There's no chance unless you take one.
And to see the brighter side of every situation.
Some things are meant to be.
So give me your best and leave the rest to me.
Leave it all to me.
So make it right."
Everyone sang, "Maybe you're right."
"And see it through.
You know you won't be free.
Until you...
Wake up the members of my nation!
It's your time to be.
There's no chance unless you take one.
And the time to see the brighter side of every situation.
Some things are meant to be.
So give me your best and leave the rest to me.
Leave it all to me."
"Leave it all to me," everyone joined her.
"Leave it all to me.
Just leave it all to me."
So, how'd I do? You're probably thinking that it could have been better, I think so too. But I still want to hear from my reviewers, just so I know you haven't died on me. I might be able to update in the next couple days, or maybe sometime later next week. Whenever it is, I'll update eventually. So review. I gotta go right now. I promised my cousin that I'd play a game of 'Spoons' with her. Later!
-xFireChickx out!
