"Hey, Alexander, we got two guest stars tonight." Cory said, hailing the owner of the Liberry.
"Oh really? Who?" Alexander asked curiously.
Cory indicated over his shoulder with a drum stick at Rorii and Tyler. Meena was applying some glitter to Rorii's cheekbones and Newt was examining Tyler's black guitar was purple zodiac designs.
"What do they do?" He continued.
"Well, Rorii, the cute red head, she sings almost as great as Meena. And Tyler, the skater girl, she plays guitar and sings a little too." Cory explained.
Alexander examined them silently before stating, "Good luck."
Cory smiled before looking over towards Meena again. He could feel his heartbeat quickening slightly, as natural highlights caught the light, and it almost seemed like she had a halo. Meena glanced at him and gave him a perfect smile, causing him to melt on the spot. Newt headed over to Cory, a grin in place.
"Dude, Ty is really good!" He said in a low whisper.
Cory snapped out of his daze, "Really? How good?"
Newt thought about his response, "Well, you know that singer from that band Delain?"
"Newt, there are three." Cory reminded the blonde.
"That Charlotte Wessels one," Newt replied, "Tyler sings almost exactly like her. I heard her singing the song Frozen under her breath. I think we should get her to sing it tonight."
"What did Rorii decide to sing?" was all Cory would say.
"I think the Other Side of Me by Hannah Montana."
"Great. Let's see if Meena's okay with it." Cory stated heading towards the Bahavian girl.
Meena turned around and saw Cory and Newt approaching, "Hey, guys. Doesn't Rorii look pretty?" She indicated to the red head.
Newt nodded, "Awesome."
Cory chuckled softly, "A real angel."
"Aw, thank you!" Rorii flushed happily.
Meena turned towards Tyler, "You alright, Tyler?"
Tyler put down her guitar and whispered, "I don't feel so good."
Newt bit his lower lip before quickly placing an arm around her, "Nerves?" He guessed.
"Hai," Tyler responded, using the Japanese phrase for yes.
"Take her to the bathroom. We'll open up with Rorii and Meena." Cory said.
"Okay. C'mon, Ty." Newt started to steer the slightly shorter girl.
Cory and Meena exchanged a small smile before looking at Rorii.
&&&
"Newt, please don't leave!" Tyler pleaded when she heard Newt starting to leave the doorway of the bathroom.
Newt froze in midstep, "What can I do?"
Tyler blushed but said, "Come in here, please."
Faintly blushing, the blonde sighed before he looked around nervously. No one was really paying attention to him. He slipped into the bathroom unnoticed. Tyler was leaning on the sink, her eyes closed, her cheeks flushed, and her toboggan on the porcelain while her fingers gripped the sides of the sink.
"You look horrible…" Newt whispered, pressing the back of his hand on her forehead. "Yikes! You're burnin' up too!"
"I'm okay… I just get really nervous in front of people…" Tyler splashed her face with the cool water.
Newt thought about that, "But you seem fine in front of Cory, Meena, and me." He pointed out.
Tyler blushed again and avoided his eyes, "I don't know why either… to tell you the truth… you guys are the first friends I've had besides Rorii since the accident." She confessed in a soft voice.
"I don't see why… you're a really nice and awesome person, Tyler."
Newt's corner of his mouth raised in a half-smile that sent Tyler's heart pounding. Slowly, Newt brought his hand closer to her pink face, gently brushing his fingertips across her cheekbone. Tyler felt a chill go through her, temptations taking control of her heart.
"N-Newt… I…" Tyler's voice cracked as she tried to find the words.
"Tyler, I'm glad that you and Rorii are my new friends…" Newt smiled slowly, "That's why I'm going to ask you to help me with something."
Tyler blinked her ice green eyes, "With what?" She asked.
"I want to help Meena realize how much Cory really cares." Newt began quietly. "So will you help?"
"Of course…" Her answer came out soft.
Newt realized that they were still standing in the girls' restroom.
"Come on! Cory's introducing Rorii!" He exclaimed, taking her hand, and pulling her behind him.
"Wait! My hat!" Tyler pulled Newt back in order to retrieve her toboggan.
&&&
"DC 3 would like to present to you the lovely, and talented, Rorii Allens!" Cory exclaimed.
Meena took Rorii's hand and pulled her into the spotlight. The adolescents in the audience all snapped, nodding their approval. Some guys checked out Rorii and gave low whistles to her and Meena. Rorii blushed faintly at the attention.
"Singing back-up with our first song, she begins her musical debut!"
Newt quickly gave Tyler a quick hug and skidded onto the stage and started the guitar intro to one of the songs. Rorii and Meena harmonized their voices and many teenagers started to dance and raise their smoothies to DC 3 and Rorii. Tyler sunk into the shadows, watching her 'sister' with a smile on her pale pink lips. She then accidentally bumped into a tall and lanky figure.
"Stickler?" Tyler narrowed her eyes slightly.
Jason Stickler was in a few of her classes and had gotten on her bad side by staring at Rorii for two hours straight. While distracted by the hazel green eyed girl, Stickler had caused Tyler to fall, slam into the blackboard, and accidentally send herself, the teacher, and the chair flying into a set of lockers.
It was not an experience Tyler wanted to relive.
"Stickler." She snorted.
He seemed to realize her presence, tearing his gaze away from Meena and Rorii, "Akatsuki."
She glared, "Here to stalk Meena and my sister again?"
Stickler's eyes widened slightly, "S-Sister?" He nervously began to stretch his collar.
"Yes, sister." Tyler glared even more. "If you even think about getting involved with Rorii, you better know you have to go through me! No one's gonna hurt my Anesan again or else they're gonna learn the new meaning of the word neuter!"
Stickler backed towards the exit slowly, "Y-Yes ma'am!" He saluted her before hightailing it out of there.
The song ended, resulting in the room to applaud loudly and cheer. Meena and Rorii held hands and bowed together, grinning. Newt and Cory both had a silent conversation with the girls.
"Up next we'd like to improvise and have a special friend we recently made play and sing for us…" Meena began as the cheers died down. "Tyler Akatsuki, please come up here and play "Falling Again" by Lacuna Coil!"
Tyler literally froze as the light landed on her. Gulping, she looked around at all the eyes and faces locked on her.
Rorii looked panicked, "I was afraid of this!" She hissed.
Newt quickly bolted forward and grabbed Tyler's hand. He gently steered her and led her on stage, getting the acoustic guitar for her, and he gently murmured reassurements under his breath.
"Newt!" She snatched his hand when he turned to escape from her.
He looked at her with his sheering blue eyes and gave her one last smile.
"If you get nervous, just look at me." He said in a gentle voice.
Tyler gave a curt nod and looked out at the audience. With a deep breath, she started to play the intro. Once she had gotten through it, the rest of DC 3 fell back into the shadows of the stage and crept down into the front of the audience and sat down at a table right in Tyler's view. She began to sing into the microphone, her eyes staring straight into Newt's.
I lay, looking at my hands
I search in these lines
I've not the answer
I'm crying and I don't know
Watching the sky
I search for an answer
I'm free, free to be
I'm not another liar
I just want to be myself... myself
Many of the couples had gotten to their feet and were slow dancing. Cory asked Meena and she agreed. Rorii was asked by a cute boy and she also agreed, leaving Newt alone at the table, watching Tyler play and sing. He was asked to dance but he politely rejected the girls one-by-one.
And now the beat inside of me
Is a sort of a cold breeze and I've
Never any feeling inside
Ruining me...
Bring my body
Carry it into another world
I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down
I pray, looking into the sky
I can feel this rain
Right now it's falling on me
Fly, I just want to fly
Life is all mine
Some days I cry alone,
But I know I'm not the only one
I'm here, another day is gone
I don't want to die...
Please be there when I'll arrive
Don't cry... please
Newt couldn't stop the feelings in his chest from occurring. There was just something about Tyler singing this song. So much emotion filled her voice as she sang those words.
So much pain…
It pained Newt. He couldn't understand it. He had only known Tyler for barely a day, yet it felt as if he had known her so much longer…
And now the beat inside of me
Is a sort of a cold breeze and I've
Never any feeling inside
Ruining me...
Bring my body
Carry it into another world
I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down
And now the beat inside of me
Is a sort of a cold breeze and I've
Never any feeling inside
Ruining me...
Bring my body
Carry it into another world
I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down…
Falling down…
I'm falling down…
"Falling down…" Tyler whispered one last time.
Snapping and cheering reached Tyler's ears. She paused when she noticed Newt climbing onto the stage. Placing her guitar down, she held her hand out to him shyly. Newt took it just as Meena, Cory, and Rorii returned back to the stage in order to start The Other Side of Me for Rorii.
I'm just like anybody else
Can't you tell
I hold the key (the key) To both realities
The girl that I want you to know
If only I could show
Yeah!
The other side (other side)
The other side (other side)
I
want you to see (Yeah!)
The other side (other side)
The other
side (other side)
The other side of me
The other side (other side)
The other side (other side)
I
want you to see (Aw... yeah)
The other side (other side)
The
other side (other side)
The other side of me…
And even as the spotlights finally went out, Newt was still holding Tyler's hand…

"That was awesome!" Newt laughed happily as they were driven home.
"Oh, Rorii, Tyler, would you two like to spend the night with me this weekend? My father is thrilled that I have some more girl friends." Meena said suddenly.
Rorii was already on her phone, getting permission from her mother.
"We can all go see a movie then!" Cory exclaimed, "It'll be fun!"
"Yeah!" Even Tyler looked excited.
Newt smiled and scooted closer to her. He placed an arm around her shoulders, drawing her closer to himself, and Tyler's cheeks turned red from the closeness. Cory and Meena exchanged a small glance and smile, glad to see their friend growing closer to Tyler.
"What should we go see?" Rorii piped up after she hung up with her mother.
"Horton Hears a Who!" Newt cried instantly.
The group did a collective facepalm. Leave it to Newton Livingston II to want to go see a Dr. Seuss movie.
"Okay." Tyler smiled at him.
Newt smiled back.
Cory looked over at Meena, losing himself in a fantasy. He could almost feel his lips on hers, while his arms wrapped around her slim waist, and hers locked around his neck…
"Cory! Wake up!"
Said boy was smacked upside the head.
"Geez, we've been waiting for like two minutes for you to realize we're at your place." Meena laughed.
Cory turned and saw Tyler and Rorii staring at the White House with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I live there." He chuckled.
"Dang!!" Tyler and Rorii cried in unison.
Meena gave Cory a quick hug goodbye before he bolted from the car, feeling his face burning.
"She'll never feel the same…" He sighed as he headed inside.
Cory headed for his room, pausing briefly to say hi to Sophie, and sat down on his bed. He turned to his bedside table and saw Lionel, his pet rat since he was a child. He opened the cage door and took the white and black rat into his hands, petting him gently.
"Hey, Lionel…" Cory smiled at him, "Did you have fun with Sophie? No nail polish this time?" He checked Lionel's paws, "Phew. No pink."
Lionel squeaked in agreement.
"I wonder if Rorii and Tyler like rats… hope so. Don't need one of them trying to kill you like Meena." Cory continued.
Lionel looked slightly scared at the thought.
Cory lay back on his bed, letting Lionel roam around on his stomach, and stared at the ceiling.
"Meena… I love you…" Cory whispered.
&&&
"Bye, Meena!" Rorii waved goodbye.
Meena smiled and climbed out of the car, "Bye guys. You were great tonight."
Tyler smiled and said, "Thanks, Meena. Later."
Rorii giggled, "Don't forget about our talk."
"Talk?" Tyler repeated once Meena was gone and they were heading for the Allens' house.
"Yeah… Meena's starting to realize she might have feelings for Cory." Rorii explained, "Don't tell her I told you."
Newt nodded, "Okay. This works out. Ty and I are trying to get them together anyway." He tightened his hold on said girl.
Rorii eyed them, "So… I'm taking it you two are… closer?"
"You can say that," Tyler blushed and looked down.
"Well, we're here." Newt sighed and released Tyler. "See you in school."
"Bye…"
Rorii and Tyler climbed out of the car and watched it drive off. As soon as it was gone, Rorii turned to her "sister".
" You like Newt… " Rorii sang.
Blushing, the brunette turned away from the redhead, " Maybe… " She sang in reply.
Rorii's eyes widened three times their size, "OMG! You do!"
Silently, Tyler entered the house, leaving her "sister" to plot her new goal.
"I'm going to love playing matchmaker!" Rorii grinned from ear-to-ear before she also entered the house.
&&&
DC: Sweet! I get to be a matchmaker for Newt, Ty, Cory, and Meena!
SF4E: She apparently likes the idea…
DC: (squeals happily)
SF4E: Onto the next chapter! Which I am typing illegally cause I'm still on restriction!
DC: (facepalms) Imoto-chan…
SF4E: Hehe… please R&R! No flames though! I IZ A NOOB!!
