Chapter 6:

(Austin's POV)

"Whoa…" I say to Ally as we step inside the doors to the award show. Ajanta Eulora spots us and runs frantically over to us and says, "Oh hey! Glad you guys could make it! Austin, you're performing your two songs from 5:30 PM to 5:45 PM. Ally, your tapes will be shown from 5:45 PM to 6:00 PM." "Oh, and about that, I've decided I'm going to sing my songs rather than show tapes." Ally suddenly revealed. I stared at her with my eyebrows raised and my mouth a big gaping black hole. "What happened to your stage fright?" I blurted out. "Well, I decided to confront it instead of hiding from it." She said. Just then, a lady with pink curly hair, a mushroom dress, and peppermint heels waltzed over to us and said, "Ajanta Eulora! Are the songs ready? And are Austin and Ally ready?" in an annoying high-pitched whine. "Yep and double yep. By the way, Lady Perry, meet Austin and Ally. Austin and Ally, meet Lady Perry." "Nice to meet you. We're HUGE fans!" Ally and I exclaimed at the same time. Lady Perry smiled and said, "Well, it's nice to see famous people be my fans. Makes me glow a radiant au-. She was cut off by her throat making her voice fade to a raspy sliver of what it was just a second ago. Her eyes widened when she realized what had happened. "No! This CAN NOT be happening! How could she be losing her voice now OF ALL TIMES?" Ajanta Eulora exclaimed. "Look, so she can't perform. You have to perform." I said calmly. Sheesh, and Ally and Trish thought I was kinda dumb…

(Ally's POV)

As I saw Ajanta Eulora's expression go from streesed to relaxed and enlighted, I smiled a little. Huh, maybe Austin wasn't just that stereotypical "blonde". I'd already known that, but maybe it went in different ways. The time passed by, and out of the awards that had already happened, Team Austin had scored 2 awards! We'd won Biggest Singing Sensation- Internet wise. Then Best Website, which was one for all of us, yet was in the Singer category. Then the performances came in to separate the Singer category from the Songwriter category. Ajanta Eulora scampers up on stage and announces, "Hey guys! So Lady Perry lost her voice, so I'm going to be singing for her. Everyone looks shocked for a second, but then resumes their cheering and clapping. "Ready?" Austin and I mouth to her. She nods, then gestures to the music person to start Song #1:

"You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

[2x]
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone"

Then she started singing the other song:

"I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.

I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, ohhhh!

Oh noooo
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh
Let it burn
Oh oh ohhhh"

Then Ajanta Eulora turned, and the words that came out of her mouth were, "Next up to perform is…"


Author's Note: It's a bit of a cliffhanger, right? Ya, I know that failed. :( Anyway, I apologize for not making Austin and Ally sing in this chapter, but I'm in a wee bit of a rush. Also, THE EPIC RETURN OF AJANTA EULORA AND MEETING LADY PERRY! What a surprise, right? (The answer is... NO! :D) Also, I do not own Set Fire to The Rain (A personal fave of mine.) by Adele, or Stronger (Another personal fave!) by Kelly Clarkson. The BIG FINALE... I DO NOT OWN AUSTIN AND ALLY! Otherwise I'd run in a sugar cane forest that never would get too depleted, and I'd ride on a pink unicorn. Yeah, no. Anyway, next chapter, I'll try to write as soon as possible! Bye peopleinis! (Made-up word)
