The Fight For Her Heart
Chapter 10 Battle of the Bands
"I cannot believe that we haven't got them together yet!" Blade shouted, throwing his arms in the air, pacing back and forth.
"Calm down, Blade, it's all right… we'll get them to see the light." Brittany stated, patting him on the shoulder.
"No! It's not all right! It's all WRONG. We went through two of my brilliant plans already! Two! And we still can't get those dense people to see that they both love each other so much!" Blade exclaimed.
"We don't really know if Blossom is in love with him. For all we know, she could be in love with Dexter." Brittany stated, biting her thumb.
"Don't say that!" Blade shouted, pointing his finger at Brittany.
"Say what?" Brick asked, walking in.
Brittany opened her mouth to come up with a cover, but Blade beat her to it. "No, Brittany. You! What is wrong with you!?" Blade yelled, glaring at his father.
Brick stared for a while. "I don't know what you're—"
"Why haven't you gotten together yet?"
"What are you—"
"Why aren't you dating yet?"
"Look, kid, this has—"
"And for god's sakes, does she even know that you're in love with her?"
Brick looked to the side, not wanting to look at Blade. He turned back. "Well—"
"Well, what?" Blade asked, crossing his arms.
Brick's nose scrunched up. "Is it that obvious?"
"Brick..." Brick gave him a look. "Ok, fine. Dad. Obviously you can't do this alone, because either Dexter is too smart for you or Mom is really dense. I really hope that it's the latter."
"Oh, really, so what are you going to do?" Brick asked, raising an eyebrow.
"All right, come sit with us." Blade ordered, gesturing toward their little hideout.
Brick's eyebrow rose but he crouched down with them anyway.
"Hey, Brick what instrument can you play?" Blade asked.
Brick gave him a look.
"Ok, fine. Dad, what instrument do you play?"
"What does it matter?"
"Just answer the damn question." Blake commanded, exasperated.
"Piano, guitar, I can kinda play the drums and—"
"How about singing?" Brittany probed.
"Singing?" Brick repeated.
"Yes, singing." Brianna confirmed.
"I don't know, I guess."
Brianna pursed her lips. "Well, sing something like… La la la laaaa la la la."
Brick pursed his lips too. "La la la laaaa la la la."
Brianna and Brittany blinked, their eyes wide open. "Justin Timberlake."
"No, his voice is more angelic like Jesse McCartney." Brianna stated, her eyes still wide as if she were marveling the sight before her. But, Brick was just picking at his ear then looking at the ear wax that came out and wiped it on the coats.
"Yeah, yeah, we get it, my dad has a good voice." Blade stated, rolling his eyes a little bit.
"Oh, quiet Blade, you're just pissed that someone other than you is getting attention from the girls." Blake accused. Blake was once again, punched into a nearby wall.
"So? Is that it? I win Blossom over with my 'amazing voice' at some 'battle of the bands'?" Brick asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, pretty much." Blade nodded, shrugging.
Brick shook his head. "And where do you think you're going to get the money to host this 'Battle of the Bands'?" Brick asked, glaring slightly.
All four children smiled innocently and gave him puppy eyes.
"No." Brick said flatly, crossing his arms and closing his eyes.
"Man, these plans can NEVER be easy!" Blake exclaimed, exasperated, throwing his arms into the air.
"Why can't you lend us money?" Brianna asked curiously, blinking innocently at him, perhaps hoping that he would be willing to give her money if she acted cuter.
Brick glared slightly, not buying it. "I've trained myself to have an immunity against that sort of thing." Brick stated, an image of Butch and Boomer coming into his head.
"But it works for Blossom." Blade stated, making fun of him slightly.
"Shut up." Brick grumbled, looking away, glaring at pretty much nothing and walked out of the closet.
"So, what are we gonna do, mini-leader boy, how are we gonna make money?"
"We have no choice, we'll just have to dip into the Halloween money." Blade stated, holding his hand out in front of Blake, expectantly. He stared for a while. "Blake, the money." he ordered
"What? I don't have it." Blake stated, shaking his hands.
"What do you mean you don't have it!?" Blade yelled, grabbing fistfuls of Blake's shirt.
Blade tried to think back and realized that they didn't bother to clean up the haunted house, they just left everything there, including the money.
"You idiot!" Blade shouted, shaking Blake violently.
"It wasn't my fault!" Blake yelled. "You never told me to get the money!"
"I thought, knowing you, that you would pick up the money, seeing you're the one who would remember money the most, being the child of Butch!" Blade yelled, his nose touching Blake's nose as he glared angrily.
"It still wasn't my fault!" Blake yelled, finally pushing Blade away.
Blade sighed.
"Well, there's always a—" Brianna started.
"No." Blade refused quickly, already knowing what she was about to say.
"Why not?" Brianna asked. "It's not like we can sell Blake to slave drivers or something."
Blade put his hand to his chin, thinking. "Hm…" he thought to himself as he took a glance at Blake.
"HEY! Don't consider it!" Blake exclaimed, enraged at the thought that he would actually be sold.
"Fine, we'll go with Brianna's idea…" Blade muttered, angry.
"Um, I don't know if you noticed, but not all of us got the mind reading gene like you, Blade." Blake stated, having no idea what the idea was.
"A freaking lemonade stand." Blade answered, already showing reluctance.
"Oh, joy." Blake muttered, not really sounding joyful as he ran a hand through his black hair and fell back into the comfy chair he was sitting in.
"Oh, come on, guys, it's just lemonade, I mean, how hard can it be?" Brittany asked, smiling as she looked optimistic that this idea would work.
"This sucks." Brittany stated, her eyes narrowed and her face drenched in sweat and water she had tried to use to cool down.
"How much money have we made?" Blake asked from his position on the grass, totally dead.
"Well, we have given out 17 glasses, and we sell them for 25 cents, and the money we'll need is about 4000 dollars to get a stage and lights." Brittany stated, looking at the clipboard she was holding to keep track of sales.
"That's good, that means we've already gotten…" Blake counted on his fingers. "4 dollars and 25 cents."
"Not exactly." Blade answered. "Since all 17 were drunk by us, and we used our 100 percent off employee discount, we're pretty much still broke." Blade stated, closing his eyes, trying to protect them from Ultra-violet rays.
"You mean we haven't gotten a single cent in the last 20 minutes in this blazing hot heat?" Blake asked incredulously from the grass.
Blade and Brittany nodded, frowns plastered on their faces. "I'm going inside." Brittany stated, walking toward the house.
"Me too," Brianna added, following Brittany.
Inside…
"So, Brianna, what do you think those boys will do to get money because, obviously we're not going to get enough money through a 25 cent lemonade stand." Brittany stated.
"Yeah… I wonder what they'll do." Brianna wondered as she put a finger to her chin thoughtfully.
"Maybe they'll sell their bodies to the night or something!" Brianna suggested. Brittany and Brianna shuddered at the thought.
"Blade better not." Brittany spat with disgust, anger, and jealousy.
"I wonder what they'll do then…" Brianna thought. "Oh! Maybe they'll hold the mayor ransom or something!"
Imagination:
"All right! Nobody move!" Blake shouted, kicking down the door of the mayor's office.
"Oh, Butch, thank goodness you're here! You know you look a lot younger than you looked yesterday. Oh, you too, Brick." The Mayor stated, not bothered by the two just bombarding in.
"What? No, you idiot! We're their sons! And we're here to hold you ransom! That's the word, right Blade?" Blake exclaimed then whispered.
Blade rolled his eyes. "Yes, Blake."
"Anyway, boys, it's a good thing you're here, see, I have this pickle jar, and it simply WILL NOT open! So I was hoping that you two would open it for me?" Mayor asked.
"Ugh, whatever. Just… here!" Blake pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911. "Tell the police that you're in danger and that you want them to come to your rescue and we'll give you back for 4000 dollars!" Blake exclaimed and passed the phone to Mayor.
"Oh, Butch, you're so funny! What a good story, so anyway, about my pickle jar…"
"Forget the damn pickles!" Blake yelled and hit the pickle jar out of the Mayor's hand and out the window.
Suddenly Mayor got a murderous aura. "You dropped my pickles. You dare to drop my pickles in my office while you try to use me to get money. How dare you. How dare you. My pickles, get my pickles." Mayor stated, suddenly his voice was deeper and more ominous.
This didn't seem to faze Blake. "Shut up already! It's just stupid pickles!"
"Uh… Blake…" Blade whispered, noticing the sudden change in the Mayor.
"No, get on the phone and tell them you're being kidnapped and need 4000 dollars to get away from us!" Blake exclaimed, still not listening.
"Blake…" Blade whispered again with more urgency as he watched the Mayor's anger heighten.
"You know, pickles aren't even that good! I don't understand why you can't just—"
"BLAKE! DAMMIT LISTEN TO ME!" Blade yelled.
"What!?" Blake yelled back finally turning to Blade.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT THE MOST SACRED VEGETABLE IN THE WORLD!?" The Mayor shouted at them, he was practically on fire as he glared down at the two.
"Idiot, why didn't you tell me he was getting pissed?" Blake whispered to Blade as they curled up in the corner of the office, trembling and hugging each other in fear.
"I tried to tell you!" Blade whispered back angrily.
The Mayor advanced on them and you could hear Blade and Blake's blood-curdling screeches in all of Townsville.
End of Imagination
"That wouldn't really happen, would it?" Brianna whispered, a little scared as she thought about it.
"No way, Brianna, even they aren't that stupid." Brittany stated, though even though she said that, she had a feeling that they were.
"BLAKE YOU FREAKING IDIOT!" Blade's voice shook the whole place as Brittany and Brianna were sitting on a couch.
"IT'S NOT MY FREAKING FAULT!" Blake's voice shouted back.
"OH! YES IT IS!" Blade shouted again.
Brittany and Brianna walked out to find the two rolling around on the grass.
"I can't believe you did that!" Blade shouted.
"It wasn't my fault, I said!" Blake shouted back.
"Hey!" Brianna exclaimed, trying to get their attention.
They weren't listening since they continued arguing and rolling around.
"Hey!!" Brianna exclaimed again, a little louder. When they didn't listen, she got irritated.
Brittany plugged her ears in preparation.
"HEY!" Brianna shouted with her supersonic scream.
"Ow! What the fudge?" Blake exclaimed, covering his ears.
"Brianna! I know that scream anywhere!" Blade exclaimed too as he looked over at her.
"Good, now that we've got your attention, would you mind telling us what happened?" Brianna asked, her hands on her hips.
"Well…" Blake and Blade looked off to the side sheepishly.
Flashback…
Blake repeatedly pounded his head into the grass. "No. freaking. way!"
"So, I see business is going well." Brick stated, walking over and smiling at the two.
"Dad!" Blade exclaimed, quickly pouring a glass of lemonade. "Would you like a glass of lemonade on this scorching hot day?" Blade asked, raising his eyebrow, smiling broadly. "Hmmm?"
"Well, since you were so nice as to offer, I guess I'll take one glass." Brick said, taking the glass in his hand and gulping the whole thing down. Brick let out a sigh of contentment when he was done. "Thanks, Blade, you know you're a lot more mature than Butch, see, when he had a lemonade stand when he was your age, he tried to scam me and—"
"That drink will be 1000 dollars." Blade interrupted, looking totally serious with no hesitation in his face.
Brick blinked. "Ha-ha, very funny." Brick reached in his pocket. "Here you go, Blade." Brick put a quarter down on the table.
Blade picked up the quarter. "Sir, you have 1999 dollars and 75 cents left to pay." Blade stated, holding his cupped hand in expectation for more money to just drop in his hands.
"Nice try, kid." Brick stated, ruffling up Blade's hair then walked away to join his brothers.
"Damn." Blade snapped his fingers, scowling.
"Look, it's Princess's kid, maybe he'll fork up some cash!" Blake whispered, pointing to Prince, Princess's son.
Money signs replaced Blade's irises and he quickly remodeled the sign above them, now it said: "Lemonade, 4000 dollars"
"Mother, look, a lemonade stand, can we get some?" Prince asked sweetly.
Princess was paired with Mac, a very nice guy in the school, so Prince got his kind personality from Mac, and since he was Princess's son, she had a sort of soft spot for the little guy.
"Sure, Prince," she looked up at the sign. "Here you go, that should be enough." she stated, giving him a wad of cash.
"Thanks, mom!" Prince called over his shoulder as he passed the money to the two, who took it up quickly and passed him a glass of lemonade.
Prince gulped it down happily and skipped back to his mom.
"Blade, we have 4000 dollars in our hands." Blake cried, tears falling from his eyes in happiness as he rubbed his face against the cold hard cash.
"We have more than triple the money we raised from the haunted house!" Blade exclaimed too, tears falling from his eyes.
Blake put his ear to the wad of cash. "What's that? You want to be traded for candy that's totally expensive? Okay!" Blake prepared to run off in the direction of the candy store.
Blade immediately grabbed the back of Blake's shirt while still holding onto the money. "No, stupid, we have to use this for our parents… No! Blake! Stop running! NO! BLAKE! STOP! IT'S GONNA TE—"
-RIP!-
End Flashback
"And that's why Blake is an idiot." Blade stated.
"Stupid. We already knew that." Brianna said.
"I'LL F--ING KILL YOU!" Brittany shouted as she attacked Blake.
"Ow! Calm down! Look, we can just ask my dad to time-travel and bring it back!" Blake shouted, trying to reason with her.
Brittany blinked. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Brittany shouted and ran toward Butch who was talking with Boomer and Brick.
"And he was like 'meeeeh!' and I was like 'NEEEEE—WHOA!" Butch explained to his brothers who weren't really listening when he was suddenly pulled away by four kids. (A/N- lol, to those who didn't get it, it was from Billy and Mandy with the duck where these girls are kinda gossiping, so toward the end of the episode, they show Billy talking to Grim who isn't really listening lol)
After explaining to Butch…
"WAHAHAHAHAHA!" Butch laughed out loud as he grabbed his stomach. "You guys are idiots! Man! And I was just starting to think that I really was as stupid as Brick says I am! That's nothing compared to you guys!" Butch continued to laugh and roll around on the grass, tears coming from his eyes.
All four glared at him. "Are you done?" Blade asked, his eyebrow twitching in annoyance.
"No, not yet. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" he laughed as he pointed at all of them. "Idiots! HAHAHA ha ha… haaa. hehe." Butch wiped a tear from his eye. "Ok, I'm done."
"So, you'll help us?" Brianna asked hopefully.
"Meh, why not." Butch shrugged. Butch disappeared for a split second.
"YOU LITTLE BOOGERS!" Butch shouted when he reappeared. His hair was ruffled up, he had a few bruises, and his clothes were a little disheveled.
"What?" Brianna asked innocently.
"Lord! You guys didn't go down without a fight!" Butch shouted at them, rubbing one of the bumps on his head.
"Sorry… more importantly, the money?" Blade asked, expectantly.
"Oh, your money." Butch made a motion of passing to Blade then quickly pulled away. "I want my cut for my troubles."
"What troubles!?" Blade exclaimed incredulously.
Butch pointed at all his bruises and clothes.
"Oh, that. Well, how much do you want?"
"Half."
"No way."
Butch shrugged and prepared to stuff the money in his pocket.
Blake's eyebrow twitched. His fists clenched. He turned to Blade. "Cover me." Blake whispered.
Blake flew up behind Butch and grabbed his hair, tugging at it. Butch let out a grunt in pain. He started to reach for Blake when Blade quickly kicked him in the shin, causing Butch to grab onto his shin to ease the pain. Blake let out a snarl as he bit into Butch's head. Butch let out a yelp. "You little boogers!"
The two continued to attack Butch as Brianna and Brittany watched with amusement. The two somehow managed to tackle him to the ground with Blake still behind him, biting his head and Blade pulling on his leg from behind like a wrestler.
"OK! OK! UNCLE! UNCLE!" Butch shouted in surrender.
The two released him and grabbed the money out of Butch's hands, high-fiving each other.
Butch rubbed his head. "Geez, kid, you've got some chompers!"
"Well, if you'll excuse us, we'll be leaving to make a stage with our 4000 dollars." Blade stated, walking away.
No one followed him.
"-ahem!-" Blade coughed, trying to get their attention. No one moved. He turned around and walked back. "Guys! When I say something like 'we'll be leaving', you guys are supposed to follow me!" Blade shouted, stomping his foot into the ground.
"Oh, right." they said, feeling no guilt and left without Blade.
"You're just gonna leave!?" Blade shouted after them. "HEY! Don't ignore me!!"
The store scene… (lol)
"Wow, who thought they had a 'THE ULTIMATE STAGE STORE' store… What a huge coincidence that they would be having a huge opening sale." Blade stated.
"That's just weird…" Brittany agreed as the automatic doors whooshed open.
"I hope the service isn't as sucky as Halgreens…" Blake muttered. (A/N- this has no offense to Walgreens, lol, and has nothing to do with it… sorta, whatever, you get the point.)
"Hey, Bob, look at these cute little kids!" a man called to "Bob" who looked over and smiled.
"Awww, how cute! They're so tiny! I wonder where their parents are… What do you think, Jim?" Bob wondered to himself.
"This one is especially cute!" Jim exclaimed, patting/petting Blake's head, which was returned with a glare from Blake. "Aww, what a cute kid." He continued to pet Blake.
What's this fudger think he's doing? Petting a dog? Blake thought to himself, annoyed. Blake pulled his head back quickly and bit Jim's finger. "Ow!" Jim shouted, pulling his finger away. "Damn! This kid's got some pretty well-developed teeth!" Jim realized, looking at the fang marks on his finger.
"Stop playing around Blake!" Blade shouted at him, carrying lights and microphone stands and other devices.
Blake growled slightly. "All right, coming, mini leader boy!"
"It—it talked!"
"It?" Blake repeated, turning around with a glare.
"Oh, no…" Blade muttered, slapping his forehead. "Now they made him mad…"
Blake let out a low growl and pounced onto Jim, biting into his skull just like how he bit into Butch's, only Jim doesn't have stronger skin like Butch.
"YEOW! Ow! OW!" Jim yowled, running around. "Don't just stand there, Bob! Get it off of me!"
Blake got a vein pop in his head in anger and sunk his teeth in further, scratching him with his nails.
"Well, aren't you going to do something?" Brittany whispered to Blade who just watched Blake beat up the two, kicking them in their gut and biting them every so often.
"Nah, come on, let's get the stuff, then we'll break them up." Blade stated walking away toward the amp section of the store.
15 minutes later…
Blake was still beating up the poor men, only they were tied up by some of the wires and they had various bruises.
Blade watched for a while and realized that stopping Blake may actually take some effort. "Blake, we're gonna leave without you!" Blade shouted, walking out the door.
Blake turned over, glared at the two men, cowering in fear then took a quick step toward them as if trying to scare them then laughed out loud, following the other three.
They set up the stage over at the park. "Ok, Brittany and Brianna, advertise about the Battle of the Bands, tell them it'll be at 6:00 pm. Blake, you go find our dads and bring them here, and I'll be over here, setting up the finishing touches. Ok, break!"
The three nodded and took off.
Blade sighed and plugged in a few extra wires, duc-taping them down to make sure no one trips.
Blake returned after about 2 minutes with the boys in tow, actually, he had to tie up Boomer and pull him along. Blade rose an eyebrow. "Why'd you tie up Boomer?" Blade asked confusedly.
"He said he didn't wanna come, so I tied him up." Blake stated.
"Ahhh." Blade understood.
"Don't 'Ahhh,' me! In any case, why do I have to be here!?" Boomer shouted, struggling with the bounds.
"Why else, Blondie, we need someone to play drums." Butch stated.
"Why am I always stuck with drums…" Boomer muttered.
"Oh, where are the girls?" Brick asked, looking around.
"Oh, they went to hang up posters and stuff, they should be back in like… now." Blade stated, pursing his lips and looking at his watch.
And true enough, they had landed right next to Blade.
"Mission complete, master." Brittany stated sarcastically.
Blade rolled his eyes at Brittany's lame joke. "Well, get ready, you're on in like 20 minutes!"
"You honestly think that many people will come in 20 minutes?" Brick asked incredulously.
"Yes."
Brick shook his head and grabbed the bass that was already provided.
"Hey, what song are we doing anyway?" Butch asked, curious slightly.
"This one." Blade shoved a piece of paper in his face.
"Just Friends?" Butch asked the paper sort of. "You're gonna make us do a Jonas Brothers song!?" (Obviously, I don't own Jonas Brothers, or anything that is associated with them, otherwise Nick would be mine XD)
"Why not? Blossom and Bubbles love Jonas Brothers. And even Buttercup sort of likes them." Blade shrugged.
Butch sighed.
"Get ready! People are already coming!" Blade ordered, pushing them on stage.
"What? No rehearsal?" Butch laughed slightly.
"No." Blade stated, walking toward the "judges" table.
Butch frowned. "But what if we mess up?"
"You better not!" Blade shouted over his shoulder, still making his way toward the judges table.
"So, this is the Battle of the Bands… So many people," Blossom said, looking around, marveling the sight a little. "C'mon, Bubbles, Buttercup, Dexter!"
Blade cleared his voice. "Hello everybody! This is the Battle of the Bands! And, let me just explain the basics, we'll have anyone who thinks they have talent come up stage and show everyone! And at the end, the winner will receive 1000 dollars and a kiss on the cheek from the beautiful Powerpuff girls!" Blade announced over the microphone.
Immediately, Buttercup and Blossom's mouths dropped open while Bubbles didn't look surprised at all, having been told by her daughter.
"Hey! Kid! When did we agree to this!?" Buttercup yelled, her foot propped up on a chair as she glared menacingly at Blade, her head cocked to the side in a kinda scary way.
"Yeah, Blade! What's going on!?" Blossom joined in, except she didn't look as angry as Buttercup.
"What are you planning!?" Dexter yelled too.
"Calm down, you three, come on, it's for a good cause… it's letting people with talent come up and possibly get discovered, they brought over a bunch of record dealers…" Bubbles said, trying to calm them down.
At Bubbles' words, Blossom calmed down a little. "Well, it's just on the cheek…" Blossom whispered.
Buttercup just pouted and sat down in her chair, crossing her arms.
Brick looked over and smirked at Dexter. Dexter sneered.
Butch started started strumming a few notes when the crowd started getting bigger.
(Ok! Time for a key/legend!:
Brick
Boomer
Butch
All of them)
There she goes again…
The girl I'm in love with…
Brick looked straight at Blossom, who was in the second row with Buttercup, Bubbles, and Dexter.
It's cool, we're just friends
We walk the halls at school,
We know it's casual…
Blossom smiled at him, encouraging him as some of the crowd started to cheer.
"Oh my gosh! They're playing Jonas Brothers! Yeeee!" Bubbles whispered, cheering as she grabbed Blossom's hands in happiness.
It's cool, we're just…
I don't wanna lead you on… (no)
The truth is I've grown fond… (yeah)
Boomer sang from the microphone in front of him as he continued to beat the drums. He glanced at Bubbles, who was smiling at Blossom, happy.
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love, just you and me
'til the end of time
'til I'm on her mind,
It'll happen
I've been making lots of plans,
like a…
picket fence, and a rose garden,
I just keep on dreaming…
But it's cool, cuz, we're just friends
Small talk on IM,
just one word sentences
It's cool, we're just friends…
Butch glanced at Buttercup, who had her feet propped up on the chair in front of her, (much to the person's annoyance), she was crossing her arms, and looking at the stage with half lidded eyes, no sign of pure enjoyment or happiness, just little bit of bright playfulness in her emerald green eyes.
But, if I had my way…
We'd talk and talk all day… (yeah!)
Everyone knows it's meant to be
Falling in love,
just you and me,
'til the end of time,
'til I'm on her mind,
it'll happen…
I've been making lots of plans,
like a,
picket fence, and a rose garden,
I just keep on dreaming…
But it's cool, 'cuz we're just friends…
Thinking about how…
we're gonna say our vows,
it's cool, we're just friends…
She walks down the aisle…
I see all my friends smile
Cuz now we're more than
Friends!
Everyone knows it's meant to be,
falling in love just you and me,
'til the end of time,
'til I'm on your mind,
It'll happen!
We've been making lots of plans,
like a picket fence and a rose garden,
I just keep on dreaming
Just keep on thinking,
of when we used to be,
Just friends…
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la ,la
Butch started playing his own guitar solo that was not originally in the song, going on his knees and going in front of Brick. He bit his lower lip as he strummed on the guitar really fast.
Boomer joined in and played a little ending drum part.
of when we used to be…
Just… friends
Everyone there immediately erupted in a cheer, shouting stuff like "Rowdyruff! Rowdyruff!" Some were shouting encore.
Dexter's eyebrows knitted together when he saw that Blossom looked really touched at the song since Brick was practically staring at her the whole time. Dexter immediately went on the stage when Blade asked for any other musical talents.
Blade rose an eyebrow, but walked off the stage.
Dexter's song:
(A/N- sorry, I'm not very creative, another Jonas Brother song, lol)
Dexter grabbed a regular guitar and sat down on a stool, sitting in front of the mike and strummed a few notes.
Everytime I think I'm closer to the heart
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand
Dexter glanced at Blossom, who was a little confused as to how he suddenly got on stage.
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be you're not that far?
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Oh yeah
"I hate to say it, Brick, and if I say it, don't kill me. Anyway, I REALLY hate to admit it, but Dexter's got a pretty good voice too."
Brick's fists clenched when he saw that Blossom was looking really happy as she watched Dexter's performance.
You're the remedy I'm searchin' hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Painting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you it will be alright
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be you're not that far
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Butch's teeth clenched. If this guy wins, Butterbutt will have to kiss him!
Boomer joined in on the jealousy. I can't let him win, or Bubbles will have to kiss him.
Been feeling lost
Can't find the words to say
Spendin' all my time stuck in yesterday
Where you are is where I wanna be
Oh next to you, and you next to me
Ohh...
I need to find you
Yeah
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you (I need to find you)
I gotta find you (yeah)
Your the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you(I gotta find you)
All of their fists clenched as they got a look of determination. I won't lose.
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you (I need to find you)
I gotta find you (I gotta find you)
Your the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Yeaeaahhh
I gotta find you...
Dexter strummed one last note on the guitar and looked at the crowd, they were in tears. "What a beautiful song! Even though Rock Camp wasn't that amazing a movie, how beautiful…" some were whispering, some tears coming from their eyes as they made comments like that.
Brick grit his teeth. "Why didn't you stop him!?" Brick hissed to Blade.
Blade was too caught up in the fact that Dexter's voice was that good and almost didn't answer. He shook his head violently. "I thought that his singing voice would be just as annoying as his regular voice…" Blade muttered, looking off to the side sheepishly.
"Well… anyone else want to come up and show their talent…?" Blake asked, his eyes closed as he fake-smiled.
"After that performance? Heck no!" someone in the crowd answered.
Blake's eyebrow twitched, his eyes still closed while he fake smiled. "Really… the performance was really that great compared to the previous one…?"
"Heck yeah!"
"No way! The Rowdyruff Boys rocked!"
"What!? How can you say that after seeing Dexter's?!"
"It was a good performance, but theirs was better!"
"Hey, you looking for a fight, girl!?"
"Bring it on, boy!"
"Whatever! You're only interested in their looks!"
"Why you!"
"Everyone in the crowd!" Blade's voice interrupted the bickering. He cleared his throat. "We have remotes to cast your vote that will show up on the screen, now if you would please, vote for one of the two…"
Immediately many people had grabbed a remote and pushed one of the two buttons. Brick was biting his nails slightly, scared that he might really have to watch Blossom kiss Dexter.
Butch and Boomer looked at the screen a little nervous too. Buttercup pretended to not be looking even though she was peeking through one eye and Bubbles was waiting for the result. Blossom on the other hand was biting her lip as she stared intently at the screen.
Rowdyruff: 1017
Dexter: 1017
All of their mouths dropped open. "WHAT!?" everyone yelled as they looked at the results. Even Blade, Brittany, Blake, and Brianna were a little taken aback by the result.
"A… A TIE!?" Brick yelled incredulously with his face full of surprise.
"I was not expecting that…" Dexter said, with his face full of sadness.
"I had a feeling it would have this result…" Brianna whispered to Brittany.
Brittany nodded.
"Hey! What's going on!? How can it be tied!?" enraged people were yelling.
"Hey, Blade, what're we going to do…" Blake whispered.
Blade sighed. "A tie-breaker…" Blade stated. "We'll have to turn to the internet…"
