"Hello Jump City, this is Cindy Maximine," (AN: Work with me) A blond says to a camera, "And I am talking to you live from Jump City Stage Area where the two favorite Bands, the Three T-some, and the Yellow Dark Flowers, will be competing together to see who's the best in Battle of the Bands. It looks like everyone has arrived to see these two bands compete. I mean who wouldn't want to? It looks like its starting! This is Cindy Maximine sighing off."
"Oh man," Victor started, "This is the biggest people we've ever placed for!"
"You're right! The news must have gone out fast," Garfield added.
"But hey, no sweat right?" Richard asked with a smile.
Garfield and Victor looked at him. Apparently he was the only one who was ready for this.
"Well, will you look at that!" Karen was surprised when she saw everyone who came to the show, "There must be like millions of people out there."
"Oh that makes me less nervous," Rachel said sarcastically.
"Rachel there is nothing to be nervous about! We've done many shows like this before," Kori said as she tried to calm her down.
"Not will millions of people watching," Karen pointed out.
"Not helping," Rachel said.
"Sorry," Karen said as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Rachel, perhaps it is a good idea for you to meditate before the show begins," Kori suggested.
Rachel agreed as she got into her position. Soon, she was floating in the air chanting her usual words,
"Azarath Metrion Zinthose," She repeated and repeated to calm herself down.
Karen and Kori were on the lookout in case anyone had come by. They didn't want anyone to see one of the band members floating.
"Ladies," Karen began, "The guys are coming this way!"
Kori had rushed over to wake Rachel up before they had arrived. Soon each band members were face-to-face with each other.
"Kori, Karen, Rachel," Richard said with Garfield and Victor by his sides.
"Richard, Victor, Garfield," Kori replied with Karen and Rachel by her sides too.
"Well we just wanted to say," Richard began.
"Sorry if we kick your butts hard," Garfield finished.
Victor had elbow punched him in the stomach.
"I mean, good luck at the Battle," Garfield tried again.
"Thanks?"Kori said. She didn't know if she was supposed to be kind, or rude. Garfield just made people confused.
"Well we wish you good luck too then," Karen said as she wanted this conversation to end.
"Thanks. So see you later," Richard finished and the three guys left back to their part of the stage.
"Well that couldn't have gone any better," Rachel said with her normal sarcastic tone.
"Girls," Madison said as she stepped in, "Get ready because it's about to began!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Battle of the Bands!" The announcer, Khandi, (AN: My best friend wanted it to be that name -_-) well announced, "How are you doing Jump City?"
There were screams heard everywhere! This was the biggest audience anyone has ever seen.
"Tonight," Khandi started, "We are going to face the first ever Battle of the Bands Jump City had in a while! And boy do I mean a while! I'm talking about centuries ago! But enough about the past, it's time for the present. Now how this works: Each person is given a card. On that card has a chart of the band names with boxes. In the boxes, you are going to rate the music that will be out here tonight from 1-5 by 5 being the greatest. At the end, you guys are going to add up your total, and by that, we'll declare the greatest band! Now let me hear you Jump City! Are you ready?"
More screams, louder than ever.
"Alright then! Please welcome to my left, the Three T-some!"
Richard, Garfield, and Victor had walked out.
"Wow, can you believe how many people are out there?" Garfield said as he walked on to the stage.
"Yeah man," Victor said as he looked around.
"Hey but don't-," Richard started.
"-sweat it, yeah we know dude," Garfield and Victor said together. Apparently that was the only think he could say.
"And to my right," Khandi said as the guys came back into reality, "the Yellow Dark Flowers!"
More screams as the girls walked onto stage.
"Is the meditation working?" Kori asked Rachel.
"A little, but I think I'm going to be ok," Rachel replied.
"Good," Karen said.
"So ladies and gentlemen, get ready to start the Battle of the Bands!"
Screams, clapping, and a lot of other things, (AN: It's been a while since I've been to a concert! _)
"So who wants to go first?" Khandi asked both bands.
"Them," Both bands pointed to each other.
"Alright! So please give it up for the Three T-some for they're going first!" Khandi screamed to the crowd.
"What?" The guys said together.
"Well men, looks like we're up," Richard said, "So who wants to sing first?"
"Give me that mike," Garfield said with confidence.
"Alright man, good luck," Victor spoke before he started.
"Thanks dude, I'll need it," Garfield replied as they walked to their instruments.
"Hey there Jump City!" Garfield screamed into the microphone, "This first song I'd like to call Dear Raven Count me in." (AN: It's really called Dear Maria Count me In, but hey, let me hear all you BBxRae fans! Since Raven's two syllables, you have to say it like this: Ra-ai-ven. ^_^ Thanks xxFraise!~)
It's for a special someone I know. Hope she's out there listening."
"Kori, did I hear what I thought I heard," Rachel asked while holding on to her arm.
Kori giggled, "Yes Rachel, I think you did!" Maybe something was going to happen real soon, and she really hopes something will.
(Garfield is on the microphone; Richard is on electric guitar; and Victor is on drums.)
I've got your picture, I'm coming with you, Dear Raven Count me In
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle and I'm the pen
When the lights go off I wanna watch the way you take the stage by storm
The way you rap those boys around ya finger
Go on and play the leader 'cause you know it's what you're good at
The low road for the fast track make every second last
'Cause I got your picture ,I'm coming with you, Dear Raven, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle and I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts calling your name from the crowd
Then in the field you'll be the show girl of the home team
I'll be the narrator telling another tale of the American dream
I see your name in lights we can make you a star
Girl, we'll take the world by storm it isn't that hard
'Cause I got your picture, I'm coming with you, Dear Raven, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle and I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out 'cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
Take a breath, don't it sound so easy, never had a doubt, now I'm going crazy watching from the floor
Take a breath and let the rest come easy, never settle down
'Cause the cash flow leaves me always wanting more
'Cause I got your picture, I'm coming with you, Dear Raven, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle and I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts calling your name from the crowd
'Cause I got your picture, I'm coming with you, Dear Raven count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
"Booyah!" Victor said as he jumped up as the crowd was clapping.
"All right Garfield!" Richard congratulated.
"Let's see the girls beat that!" Garfield said with a big smile on his face. Crossing his fingers if Raven really did hear that song, that she won't kill him.
"Alright Rachel you ready?" Karen asked.
"You bet I am," Rachel said.
"What shall you be singing?" Kori asked.
"Oh you'll see," Rachel replied.
"Give it up for Three T-some!" Khandi said, "And now as you finish grading their performance, please welcome Yellow Dark Flowers!"
"Alright, let's do this!" Karen screamed.
(Rachel is on microphone; Karen is on drums; and Kori is on piano)
"Ok Jump City! This song I've written is something I wrote about myself. You can say it's a song that describes me! And I hope you guys love it. Let me hear you clap my rhythm!"
There's a little creepy house in a little creepy place
Little creepy town in a little creepy world
Little creepy girl with her little creepy face
Saying funny things that u have never heard
Do you know what it's all about? Are you brave enough to figure out
Know that you could set your world on fire
If you are strong enough to leave your doubts
Feel it, breathe it, believe it and you'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly, so high and you'll be walking on air
You feel this unless you kill this go on and you're forgiven
I knew that I could feel that I feel like I am walking on air
She has a little creepy cat and a little creepy bat
Little rocking chair and an old blue hat
That little creepy girl oh she loves to sing
She has a little gift an amazing thing
With her little funny eyes of hazel; with her little funny old blue hat
She will go and set the world on fire; no one ever thought she could do that
Feel it, breathe it, believe it and you'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly, so high and you'll be walking on air
You feel this unless you kill this
Go on and you're forgiven
I knew that I could feel that I feel like I am walking on air
Flitter up and Hover down. Be all around, be all around
You know that I love you, go on
Feel it, breathe it, believe it and you'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly, so high and you'll be walking on air
You feel this unless you kill this
Go on and you're forgiven
I knew that I could feel that I feel like I am walking on air
"Beautiful Rachel!" Kori said as she finished.
"Told you I'd finish this one," Rachel pointed out.
"Well I defiantly loved it," Karen said as she gave Rachel a high-five.
"Let's see what the guys have next," Rachel said.
"Alright, guys it's our turn again," Richard acknowledged the other band members.
"Hey Richard, before you go, you mind if I go next?" Victor asked.
"Uh, sure Vic no problem," Richard replied with a confused face. Before he agreed that he wanted to go after Richard and now he wants to go before? Oh well, there are thinks Richard will never understand about Victor.
"Alright guys," Victor said to the crowd, "I'd love to sing this song I've written for a girl I know, and crossing ma fingers I hope she likes it. This one goes for you Bee!"
"Oh my," Karen said as she started blushing.
"You don't think-" Kori started.
"I'm pretty sure these are some other people Kori," Rachel said before Kori finished. She knew both of them were thinking the same thing.
'Could it be the guys?' Rachel thought to herself.
(Victor was on microphone; Garfield was on drums; and Richard is still on electric guitar)

"Karen!" Kori yelled, "You are next!"
"I'm ready!" Karen called back.
She walked to the stage's microphone as Rachel walked to the drums and Kori walked to the guitar.
"This one's for Sparky!" Karen yelled hoping "Victor" heard it.
"Sparky?" Victor whispered. Only Bumblebee calls him Sparky. Could it be-?
"Nah, it couldn't," Victor said to himself.
Don't walk away like you always do this time
Baby you're the only thing that's been on my mind
Ever since you've left I've been a mess! You won't answer your phone.
I'll say it once and I'll leave you alone, but I gotta let you know
I wanna get back to the old days when the phone would ring and I knew it was you
I wanna talk back and get yelled at fight for nothing like we used to
Oh, kiss me like you mean it like you miss me 'cause I know that you do
I wanna get back get back with you
Don't look at me that way. I see it in your eyes

"Beat that guys," Karen said as she looked over to where the guys were standing.
"Richard you're up," Victor said.
"You don't know how ready I am man," Richard said with a grin.
Victor had gone back to drums; Garfield played the electric guitar; and Richard was now singing.
"This song, I know will sound cheesy, is dedicated to a special girl I've been head-over-heels for since the day we've first met. Everything about her makes me love her even more then I already do, and I really hope she's out there listening. This one's for you Starfire."
"Robin?" Kori asked herself.
Let's burn our dreams into the skyline
Tattoo our sweat and tears; forever you and I
Hold your breath till we cross the sundown
This is the moment, time is racing slow it down 'cause you, a feeling I can't deny
We're only here for one more night so scream it like you mean it
One more time, we'll tear down the building
Come on come on, sing along whoa
Come on come on, stay young
Let's light the kerosene tonight
Spark up like fireworks exploding in the sky
Kick down the New Year and the future
We can't get closer here the walls are falling down 'cause you, a feeling I can't deny
We're only here for one more night so scream it like you mean it
One more time, we'll tear down the building
Come on come on, sing along whoa
Come on come on, stay young
We'll be holding on to this so tight, scream it like you mean it
One more time, we'll tear down the building
Come on come on, sing along whoa
Come on come on, stay young

Come on come on, sing along whoa
Come on come on, stay young
"Kori?" Rachel called as she tried to wake her up from her thoughts.
"Yes?" She replied.
"It's your turn to sing. Are you ready?"
"I am ready!" Kori said with confidence. She knew what she was going to say to everyone before she started singing. And if she's right, then Richard will be surprised and she'll know for sure if it really is Robin.
"Robin," Kori began, "If you're out there, then you better ask me out before I stop chasing you!"
Richard dropped his mouth. Did she say what he thought she said?
"Correct me if I'm wrong," Victor started.
"But did I just," Garfield continued.
"Hear Starfire say," Victor said.
"Something in perfect English!" Victor and Garfield said together.
Richard didn't respond. He was frozen on the spot. The Kori who he hated was really Starfire who he loved? He had to be dreaming.
"We'll think about this later!" Victor said. He was just confused as the others.
I'm a little rough around the edges.
Takes me a while to admit when I'm wrong.
Some people say I'm lost; I'm searching for something.
If you find it let me know or let me go...
I don't know which way to go and I won't ever know what the future holds.
Now staying here I got to know. I'm leaving so tell me goodbye.
Take my time cause I got to find if it's right
Cause I'm dreaming my life away and it's time to wake up
I'm a little shy but wait till you know me.
Take me for a ride it won't take you long.
Look in my eyes is there something you see.
If you want me let me know or let me go...
I don't know which way to go. and I won't ever know what the future holds.
Now staying here I got to know. I'm leaving so tell me goodbye.
Take my time cause I got to find if it's right 'cause I'm dreaming my life away and it's time to wake up
I don't belong here, So long. I'm not at home here if I'm wrong.
I'll take the first train that on its way back to where I'm from but you'll never know.
I got to take a chance you've got to let me run. So let me go, let me go...
I don't know which way to go and I won't ever know what the future holds.
Now staying here I got to know. I'm leaving so tell me goodbye.
Take my time cause I got to find if it's right 'cause I'm dreaming my life away
And it's time to wake up
"Ok I think my brain as officially broke," Garfield said.
"That can't be Starfire," Richard said, "Kori knows perfect English! Starfire doesn't understand some things yet Kori knows everything!"
"But she said Robin before she started singing," Victor remembered.
"There has to be another Robin somewhere," Garfield thought out loud.
"Another Robin that's chasing a girl just like Robin for Starfire?" Victor argued.
"Nothing makes sense anymore!" Richard yelled.
"Guys come on; we have one last song to do!" Garfield mentioned.
"Well it's your song anyways, so get your butt up there!" Victor pushed Garfield.
"I need drums and a guitar too! The piano isn't going to do it all!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll get frozen boy to his place."
"I don't understand anything anymore!" Richard yelled again.
"Just play the guitar man!" Victor yelled back.
Garfield is on microphone and playing the piano; Victor is on his drums again; and Richard (will try to play) on electric guitar.
"Ok Jump City. This song I've written again for the same person I wrote my other song for. She's just so amazing that I can't even put it in words! Hope you enjoy it."
If time was still the sun would never never find us
We could light up the sky tonight
I would see the world through your eyes, leave it all behind
If it's you and me forever. If its you and me right now. That'd be alright, be alright
We'll chase the stars to lose our shadow. Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me? Oh yeah, gonna fly with me now.
Kori gasped. She knew for sure that was Beast Boy. He sang that song to her the night before!
"Rachel may be please having a talk now," Kori said as she grabbed her by the arm.
"Kori can't it-" She wasn't able to finish her sentence.
"Rachel, Garfield is Beast Boy!" Kori screamed.
"What?"
"Garfield, the boy who is singing, is really Beast Boy!"
"You've got to be kidding me Kori that's not Beast Boy."
"I am most positive! That sang that song to me last night and I remember it!"
"Last night?"
"Yes. It is true. And I know it is."
"Well then why are you telling me? If it really is Beast Boy, and it really is the song he sang for you last night, then it must be the song he wrote for Terra."
"But it is not for Terra!"
"How can you be so sure? He said so himself."
What should she do? Kori couldn't break the promise she made to Beast boy! But this was important. So what if she broke one promise? Would it matter? But a promise is a promise...
"Kori, if that's it, I think we should get back on stage." Rachel spoke.
"He wrote that song for you Raven!" Kori blurted out using her other name, and then quickly covered her mouth with an 'Eeep'.
Rachel stopped and looked Kori in the eyes.
"Say that again?" She said.
Kori gave up. She had to tell Rachel the truth. Even if she promised.
"Beast Boy has written that song for you." Kori repeated.
"Liar." Rachel said.
"It is true! He said it was for Terra because at the time you heard must have been when he was lying to me. I saw through his eyes that he was, so then I asked him again and he said it was for you. He loves you Raven!" Kori yelled.
'No. It wasn't happening. I'm dreaming. Kori didn't say anything. She didn't say anything at all.' Rachel thought to herself.
"Really?" She replied. 'Way to go about thinking you're dreaming.'
"Yes! I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again! He loves you Raven! I can see through his heart that he does!"
Rachel felt like she was going to faint as she heard Garfield sing the rest of his song.
Now the past can come alive and give it meaning and a reason to give all I can to believe once again
If it's you and me forever. If its you and me right now. That'd be alright, be alright
We'll chase the stars to lose our shadow. Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me?
Maybe you were just afraid knowing you were miles away from the place where you needed to be
And that's right here with me
It's you and me forever. If its you and me right now. That'd be alright, be alright
We'll chase the stars to lose our shadow. Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me?
If it's you and me forever, if it's you and me right now I'd be alright, be alright
We'll chase the stars to lose our shadow. Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly, fly, fly with me
Yup, she's was defiantly sure she was going to faint right at that spot.
"Rachel," Kori said, "Are you alright?"
"Uh," She began, "I th-think so.
"Then you will sing the last song before this is over?"
Rachel just replied with a simple yes as she followed her back to the Stage.
"There you girls are," Karen said, "I was worried on where you went."
"We are sorry Karen but there was something I needed to tell Rachel," Kori said.
"Well Garfield finished so we're on. Rachel, you ready?"
"Yeah, I am." No she wasn't What was she going to do? What is going to sing? She was working on one song, but that night when Beast Boy was talking to Starfire, she gave up on it and wrote something else. Now she heard the truth...which one will she sing?
"Rachel?" Kori said as she tried to get Rachel to start singing, "You have to start!"
Rachel just stared at the crowd. What is she going to sing?
(AN:) What will she sing? Will she sing Armageddon (which I do not own) or You Belong with Me? (Which I do not own either)
IT'S UP TO YOU READERS TO TELL RACHEL WHAT TO SING!
WHAT WILL BE YOUR er I mean HER CHOICE?
