A/N: I am still trying to put songs to characters, so I hope I get some input soon! I'm thinking about making another story, but I still don't know how it would go just yet…And with that, here's chapter 4!

Chapter 4

Ari

Ari still couldn't believe that he was the first one to pick out a CD. Actually, to be fair, he had taken about several CD's and took them into his tent. He sat down on his mat, and looked at the CD player for a while. Never before had he seen something like this! Yeah, there was the voice recorder, but that seemed so useless compared to this CD player.

He suppressed the want to take it apart, mainly because he wouldn't have any idea how to put it back together again. He figured he would do so after the therapy.

"What good would therapy do us all anyway?" Ari thought out loud. "I thought therapy was for crazy people, like Anne." He thought it over, and he figured that if you had an evil king for a shadow, and you were slightly okay with it, you might also be crazy.

Unfortunately, that was pretty much him in a nutshell.

He sighed, and with that last thought, started going through the CD's.

However…

"Here, slave, I thought that this one would suit you just fine." Stan haphazardly threw a CD at Ari, who had only a split second to dodge it…and missed his chance. "Ow Stan, that hurt!" Ari said while rubbing his now sore head. Stan grinned. "Well that's what you get, throwing rocks at moi, Evil King Stan, the highest…"

"Oh put a sock in it Stan!" Rosalyn shouted from outside, "Or do I have to show everyone your 'Greatness'?"

Stan deflated almost instantly. He screamed back at Rosalyn, "You show that to anyone, I mean ANYONE, and once I get into power, I will personally chain you to an anchor in the deepest part of the aquatic ruins!" Spinning back around to Ari, he brought his voice down and whispered, "You heard nothing, understand?"

Ari nodded. "Yeah, now can you please go?"

Stan grumbled. "Fine, yeah whatever." He stuffed his hands into his pocket, and walked out of Ari's tent.

"Sweet, sweet peace!" Ari said to himself. Now maybe he could find his CD. He would listen to the one Stan gave him later.

Seven minutes later…

After three different CD's and one horrible excuse for a song, (even Linda before her training could sing 10 times better that whoever that was on that CD) Ari thought that he just might have found the perfect song for him. He played it a couple of times over and over again, just to make sure that this was the song that was for him:

"I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but its home to me, and I walk alone…" Yeah, this was definitely his life before he met everyone else in the group. Barely existing is what it had felt like sometimes, and it was even worse when he had become one of the Ignored. Even Stan wasn't with him at that time, making him feel more alone than ever before. "My shadow's the only one who walks beside me, my shallow heart's the only one that's beating, someday, I'll find someone to walk beside me, till then I walk alone…" Yeah, this was going to be his song, because it reminded him that he no longer had to feel like that, because his friends were there with him now.

He took the CD out of the player, and noted the writing on the front."Green Day." Hmm, he wondered what that meant exactly. Putting the CD back into its case, he figured that this would be the best time to listen to the one CD that Stan picked for him…

Only to find that it was the exact same one.

"Oh, well. I wonder if Rosalyn minds if it's the same one." Ari thought that most likely she wouldn't, so he went on his quest to find the perfect CD for Linda. "Let's see, Linda is bubbly, fun, always happy, and cheerful. Now what song fits her?" Ari started shifting though the CD's he had brought with him, because he was certain that there was a song on one of them that was Linda, hands down. "If only I could find it…Yes!" Ari held up one of the CD cases and smiled. "Wait until Linda gets a hold of this one!" Ari was gleaming with confidence. He thought to himself that once she puts it on, it would be like a good book-she would never want to reach the…

End of the chapter.

The song is called "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day.
