Chapter 2

Olivia POV

Tensions were high as we waited in the darkness. The kids, whom were earlier buzzing with excitement had fallen silent. We were in the middle in the city, and much like the concert after Wembly we had gotten to the outside areana underground. We were in the dressingrooms under the stage. We were all ready, we just needed to wait.

The seconds ticked by like hours. We had to wait for seven on the dot in order to get the right lighting effects. The first number was 'We Will Rock You' so all the band were going to be onstage. It was one minute to seven. Meat had left to start the beat when the lights began flickering alternatly.

The clock hit seven, Brit hit the switches, the lights began to flicker, and the platforms with the band began to rise. The concert was in session.

By the end of the song the crowd had arrived. Although there were hundreds of bands, seeing us perform was suposed to be the best, so we always drew huge crowds. But we didn't throw too many concerts so the crowds were always more eager and we sold out. Lots!

Over the time we had begun experimenting with more than just Queen songs. This gave others a chance of singing. As Galileo, as talented as he was, couldn't pull off a girls song or some guy songs. Me and Scarramouche shared the song 'I love Rock N Roll' by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. And Meat liked to sing 'Cherry Bomb' by The Runaways, the first all girl rockband ever.

Our fourth song was the last before the kids took to the stage. We hadn't really thought how we were gonna do this so Brit took a mic off Gaz and spoke in a wierd vioce rolling his eyes when Gaz shot him a stupid look.

"And now, a specail treat for you all, please welcome 'The New Generation!'" He flicked the switch and the lights fell on the kids. Me and most of the band had stayed at our instruments for their songs unless they weren't needed.

Between them they sang 'Don't Stop' -All- 'Sing' (my chemical romance) -Bowie, Jett and the others in the background- 'Telephone' (Lady GaGa and Beyonce) -Mercury, Christina- 'Forget you' (Cee Lo) -Tommy- and finally they all sang 'Loser Like Me' a Glee song from 2011 to finish their show, until we called back seven of them. It had taken all day to plan. But they had leant it, it was a classic song from a music, set in the second world war. 'The Sound Of Music',and the song was 'So Long, Farewell'. As the oldest kid Destiny was going to be Leisle, the oldest girl, and Christina would be Gretl, the youngest child. Bowie, as the oldest boy was Friedrick and Tommy, the only other boy was Kurt. The twins played Louisa and Brigitta. Finally, Jovi was going to play Marta. They had practiced the moves and other things with us had been sorted. As Destiny was only 10 and couldn't effectivly carry Christina, I would go on and carry her off at the end of the number. Also, for some inside humor, when Destiny sang her line 'I'd like to stay, and taste my first champagne' she was going to go to her sister on keyboard (for this song), who would say 'no' as her sister and from her own experience.

[Children:]
There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "cuckoo"
[Jovi, Christina, Demi:]
Cuckoo, cuckoo

[Children: Jovi, Christina, Demi: ]
Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye . . .
[Jovi, Christina, Demi:]
Cuckoo!
[Children:]
. . . to you

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
[Jovi:]
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
[Bowie:]
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

[Children:]
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
[Destiny:]
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
She looked to Ray on the keyboard, "yes?"

"No" the other children giggled as she made her exit.

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
[Tommy:]
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye - Goodbye!
[Demi:]
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
[Selena:]
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
[Christina:]
The sun has gone to bed and so must I

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
The other kids all apeared onstage for the final
Goodbye!
As I carried Christina off as Maria.

The children left the stage and recieved a standing ovation as it was time for an interval.

Twenty minutes later the rest of us were onstage for 'I want it all' 'A crazy lil thing' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which the children joined us for, Brick in the Wall and many other 20th century rock classics.

Once back stage we celebrated by hugging eachother, but we were crying.
