Not Your Average Tamer Story Chapter 7: Singing Part 1, a digimon fanfic

Sorry it took me so long to update guys! But here's the next chapter!

Alice went backstage to get ready and after 10 minutes, as expected, she appeared on the stage. Henry, who was working the lights, dimmed the room lights and turned a blue spotlight onto Alice as she came out.

She was dressed in what had previously been her usual attire of her gothic black dress and black shoes with black make-up adorning her porcelain face, giving her the look of a living zombie.

Taking the mic from Kazu, she motioned for him to turn the music on for her song. The tune turned into a pop/rock song.

She began singing in a slightly harsh voice:

So you think you got it all worked out
You got your hotpants on
You got your arse right out, you
Think that you are something new and special
And me and my drab-dress, we won't do at all

Spent so long tryin' to fit the prototype
I kept slippin in the heels and I never got it right
What's the use?
What's the point?
You've got the wrong girl, oh

So keep doing what you're
doing down there
Cos I'll be flying higher
Waste your own time
I don't care
Anything you can do, I can do better

All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder
why I'm still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
You're superficial
I'm a misfit
(Ah)
But that's ok

So you got your little groups and gangs
You got your VIP
Your member-only things
Your happy-clappys and your VC crew
And if you get in their way, they got 10 on you

And I don't wanna be in that game
Don't wanna follow the leader, no way
What's the use?
What's the point?
You've got the wrong girl

So keep doing what you're doing down there
Cos I'll be flying higher
Waste your own time
I don't care
Anything you can do, I can do better

So what we don't look the same?
So what we don't, so what we don't
So what I don't play your game?
So what I don't, so what I don't
So what if I don't?

All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder
why I'm still here, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit (misfit)
But, baby, that's ok
All you girls
When you look into the mirror
Tell me how do you appear, well
You're superficial
I'm a misfit (I'm a misfit)
You're superficial
I'm a misfit

But that's ok (1)

The tamers looked at each other. They were surprised at how well the song fit Alice and at how well she'd sung it. After getting over the initial shock, they clapped enthusiastically and watched as Alice took a bow and went back stage, leaving the mic to Kazu.

"Alright Alice!" he whooped. "That was fantastic! And now, for our next singer, who will also get 10 minutes to prepare, ME!"

Just like before, the tamers waited patiently for the singer to prepare while amusing themselves with small talk and drinking the punch that they'd soon feel the effect of.

And just like before, after 10 minutes, the singer came out onto the stage and the spotlight was flashed. Kazu had come out wearing just some jeans and an Abercrombie t-shirt.

"Alright! Before I start, I need the girls to come up here!"

The girls all exchanged looks before going up to the stage. Kazu whispered to them that he was just going to pass through them one at a time during the song and after he passed them, they could go off the stage. Nodding their understanding, they stood next to each other in a horizontal line, wearing their trademark expressions. Alice looked dead, Rika looked murderous, Jeri looked perky, and Julia looked sarcastic yet cheerful.

As the lights were dimmed, there was a white spotlight shone on Kazu, while Alice had a blue spotlight, Rika had a violet spotlight, Jeri had a yellow spotlight, and Julia had a red spotlight. The music began and it sounded like a pop song.

And Kazu began singing:

Feels like I'm losin' my mind
Caught up tryin' to count all these girls in my life

(Kazu counts fingers on hand)
So hard for me to resist
When they walk by, they give me the eye, I fall in love every time

(Alice walks by)

And it's so deceiving how people perceive me
But I'm in search of the perfect one, yeah

Fell in love with a girl on Sunday (Alice)
Fell in love with another on Monday (Jeri)
Who knows what will happen today
I'm goin' girl crazy

Wine and dinin' all these honeys
Hangin' out, blowin' all of my money
Even though it's kinda funny
I'm still girl crazy

It seems like time after time
I'm living it up, spreading my love to all the girls I can find
I know it's not the way I should be
But what can I do, I'm just a fool, and I'm livin' life free

And it's so deceiving how people perceive me
But I'm in search of the perfect one

And it's so deceiving how people perceive me
But I'm searching for the only one, yeah, yeah

Fell in love with a girl on Sunday (Rika)
Fell in love with another on Monday (Julia)
Who knows what will happen today
I'm goin' girl crazy

Wine and dinin' all these honeys
Hangin' out, blowin' all of my money
Even though it's kinda funny
I'm still girl crazy

Some call this make believe
I call it reality
It's true, yes, what they see
That every time I hold someone
That's when I want the other one

Can't stop, I like it anyway
A different girl, a different day
It's just me, what can I say
And every time I find someone
That's when I want another one

I'm goin' girl crazy

Fell in love with a girl on Sunday
Fell in love with another on Monday
Who knows what will happen today
I'm goin' girl crazy

Wine and dinin' all these honeys
Hangin' out, blowin' all of my money
Even though it's kinda funny
I'm still girl crazy

Fell in love with a girl on Sunday
Fell in love with another on Monday
Who knows what will happen today
I'm goin' girl crazy

Wine and dinin' all these honeys
Hangin' out, blowin' all of my money
Even though it's kinda funny
I'm still girl crazy

I'm still girl crazy
I'm goin' girl crazy
I'm goin' girl crazy (2)

Once again the tamers roared with applause at the performance. They couldn't agree more with this song for Kazu.

The night continued on in this fashion, and after Kazu, it was Rika's turn. Rika proceeded to the stage and announced that she didn't need to get ready, she already was.

Pleasantly surprised, the tamers waited in anticipation, knowing that out of all of them, Rika was the most talented singer.

She stepped up to the mic on stage, and the song began. The tune was upbeat and fresh.

And thus, Rika began singing:

There was a girl I knew who always wanted to be the one to stand out from the crowd
Always believed that she was gonna live her dreams
That what went down was gonna come around
For all the doubters, non-believers, the cynicals that once were dreamers
One of these days you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

Chorus:
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabee
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothin' else
And you'll look back and you won't believe
That girl was me

Armed with an attitude that she knows how to use
She's gonna get there any way she can
Now she knows what she wants
No one is gonna stop her
Nothing's ever gonna hold her back
For all the doubters, non-believers the cynicle that once were dreamers
One of these days you'll know that you were wrong (who would've know)

Chorus

That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabee
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothin' else
And you'll look back and you won't believe
That girl was me

Spoken
Life is a work of art- you gotta paint it colorful
Can make it anything you want
Don't have to stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ to succeed in what you do
You just gotta have no doubt just believe in yourself

Doubters, non-believers, once were her dreamers
One of these days you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

Chorus 2X

The tamers had loved the song and Rika had sung it perfectly, but they were unsure of what she meant by it. 'Oh Well', they shrugged. They'd probably find out later.

Next up to the mic was Ryo, who announced that he would need his 10 minutes to prepare.

And after 10 minutes when he emerged, they wondered why. He was dressed exactly the same, and didn't look like he'd thought about much for the past 10 minutes. Nevertheless, he took the mic and began singing:

Baby I knew at once
That you were meant for me
Deep in my soul I know
That I'm your destiny
Though you're unsure
Why fight the tide
Don't think so much
Let your heart decide

Baby I see your future
And it's tied to mine
I look in your eyes
And see you searching for a sign
But you'll never fall
'Til you let go
Don't be so scared
Of what you don't know

True to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby shower you with my love
Open your eyes
Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's gonna lead you straight to
me
(Got to be true to your heart)

Someone you know is on your side
Can set you free
I can do that for you
If you believe in me
Why second-guess
What feels so right
Just trust your heart
And you'll see the light

(Ya know it's true)
Your heart knows what's good for you
(Good for you)
Let your heart show you the way
(Ya know it's true)
It'll see you through
(Got to be true to your heart)

Girl my heart is driving me to where you
are
You can take both hands off the wheel
and
Still get far
Be swept away enjoy the ride
You won't get lost
With your heart to guide you

When things are getting crazy
And you don't know where to start
Keep on believing baby
Just be true to your heart
When all the world around you
It seems to fall apart
Keep on believing baby
Just be true to your heart (4)

The tamers weren't as surprised by his song. They knew exactly what it meant. It was dedicated to Rika, of course, though Ryo had never said anything. And now that they thought about it, he was probably addressing the old her, the cold her. It soon clicked in their minds during the applause that Rika was probably talking about her old self too and about how much she'd changed. It was all starting to make sense now. Though their vision was getting a bit blurry…
