Yes, I know it's been a loooooong time since and I am sorry. What with finally graduating high school, college orientation, Disney World trip, job, and friends constantly wanting to go somewhere on the weekends I haven't had any free time. But tonight I said, "Self, I've got to update that American Idol story." And self agreed so here it is. Hope it's up to par with my other chapters. If it's not don't be scared to let me know! I gladly accept constructive criticism. So...on with the show!

"Welcome back America! Well we are down to our top 5 contestants here on American Idol after Goten was voted off last week. Hopefully, this week will be just as exciting and maybe surprising as last week was, what with the Simon getting the crap kicked out of him by Trunks and Goten totally screwing up! The theme for this week is American Top 40. Each contestant will select a song that is in the Top 40 on the charts. Doesn't matter what genre it is, so let's get the show on the road. First up is Trunks, again, seeing as how he drew the #1 out of the hat. He will be singing the number 23 song on the charts."

Trunks: Last week Simon said that I needed to take risks and I promptly showed him what taking a risk meant. But after careful consideration I have decided to take Simon's advice and step out of my comfort zone of pop/R&B type stuff and I'm going with a rock song. The song I have chosen is Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I feel that this song is perfect for my voice and let's face it, those lyrics need to get out there. So, let's do it!

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my head.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with make up in the mirror
tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world bear a consequence
If you wait around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
say you're right again,
heed my lecture.

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

Face down in the dirt she said, this doesn't hurt she said I finally had enough.
Face down in the dirt she said, this doesn't hurt she said I finally had enough.

(screaming)
One day she will tell you that she had enough
Its coming round again

Do you feel like a man
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend one day this worlds going to end
as your lies crumble down a new life she has found

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend one day this worlds going to end
as your lies crumble down a new life she has found

Face down in the dirt she said, this doesn't hurt she said I finally had enough

Randy: Yo Trunks man, that was hot! And I thought last week was excellent; I definitely think that tonight you just might have given your dad a run for his money!

Trunks: Don't say that...he can here you! Do you want to end up like Simon?

Vegeta: That's alright Trunks. I don't want to hurt him; I'm still waiting for my chance with Seacrest, pathetic excuse for a man.

Paula: OK you guys, cut it out. Trunks, yet again another flawless performance. Great job.

Simon: Hello Trunks. First off, I would like to say thank you leaving me the use of my voice. The rest of my body is pretty much useless right now, but that'll heal in time. Now as for tonight's performance, I thought it was excellent. Well done; you stepped out a bit and it paid off.

Trunks: It appears you were right Simon.

Simon: So you're sorry about crippling me?

Trunks: Hell no! You called me a coward; you deserved it.

Vegeta: Darn right he deserved it!

Ryan: Alright guys, let's knock it off before we have a repeat of last week. To vote for Trunks dial 1-866-IDOLS-01. Next up is Goku who will be singing an American Idol alumnus' song.

Goku: So this week there were two songs that I wanted to do and strangely enough they were the same two songs that Gohan was thinking about. So we settled things like we always do; we fought for it! And let me tell you it was a tough battle. Gohan has really gotten strong; I haven't fought like that since we fought Buu. In the end Gohan won so he got to first pick, and I ended up with Wait For You by Elliot Yamin. Remember if it sucks it's Gohan's fault.

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I'm missing you
& I'm wishing that you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go? You could have let me know
So now I'm all alone,
Girl you could have stayed
but you wouldn't give me a chance
With you not around it's a little bit more then i can stand
And all my tears they keep running down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you wanted to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don''t know what else i can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

It's been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You got me feeling crazy (crazy)
How can you walk away,
Everything stays the same
I just can't do it baby
What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is & it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me, your still in love with me
Don't leave me crying.

Baby why can't we just start over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But your telling me it wont be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don''t know what else i can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

So why does you pride make you run & hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what your keeping inside
Thats not how you wanted to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it's the last thing i do

Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don''t know what else i can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I'm fine it just ain't true
I really need you in my life
No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

I'll Be Waiting

Randy: Goku dog, that was off the chains! 100 percent better than last week; I think this is your best vocal all season. Maybe you should always fight to decide which song you sing 'cause man, if definitely worked.

Paula: I don't know what to say Goku. I didn't like it. I don't know...I think it's just the fact that it was Elliot's song and I think only Elliot should do it. I'm so sorry.

Simon: Are you deaf Paula? I thought it was bloody brilliant! Don't worry about her Goku; she seems out of it tonight more than usual.

Goku: That's OK. I understand where she's coming from perfectly.

Ryan: That was a great lie Goku.

Goku: Wasn't it? Man, is she on something?

Ryan: We don't ask. So anyway, if you want to vote for Goku dial 1-866-IDOLS-02. That's 1-866-IDOLS-02. Next up is the only girl left in this competition. Pan will be singing a former American Idol winner's song.

Pan: Hello everybody! So this week was Top 40 week and I was so excited. Finally, music I know and I knew exactly what I was gonna song this week when Ryan announced it on the last show. I'm going to sing Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats. She has such a powerful voice and this song shows it off so hopefully it'll do the same for me.

Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp,
and she's probably getting frisky...
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...

Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo...

And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Right now, she's probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karaoke..
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars worth of that bathroom polo
And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive
carved my name into his leather seats,
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats...

Oh, you know it won't be on me!

Ohh... not on me...
Cause I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Ohh.. Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...

Ohh... before he cheats...
ohh...

Randy: (having to yell over excessive cheering) Pan, Pan, Pan! That was hot! I just don't see how you get that out of you. I mean every week you get up here and you just blow the roof of this place.

Pan: No I didn't. If I'd have wanted to blow the roof off I'd have done it.

Randy: I'm not even going to ask. Great job Pan!

Paula: I didn't like it...sounded awful. You made my head hurt Pan.

Pan: (crying) Do what? Awful? I should so kick your butt but I'm above Trunks.

Trunks: Above me? You like to fight just as much as the rest of us!

Simon: Alright, as much as I would love to see Paula get hurt we must remember that she's not in her right mind.

Paula: Am too! Simon, you think you know everything. You, you...BLAH!

Randy: Dude she just threw up in your lap Simon!

Simon: Thank you for that observation Randy. Will somebody get her out of here! Anyway...Pan that was bloody brilliant. Excellent. Yet again, you will win this competition.

Ryan: OK to vote for Pan dial 1-866-IDOLS-03. You alright Pan?

Pan: (sniffling) She didn't like me! What am I supposed to do now?

Ryan: Nothing, remember she hasn't been right all night.

Trunks: She liked me! Pan, you need to buck up and take some criticism. Jeez!

Pan: Well excuse me Mr. Are You Calling Me A Coward! I didn't see you taking it so well last week! And if she isn't in her right mind then you must have sucked!

Trunks: You wanna say that to my face!

Pan: I ain't scared! Besides I need to hit something and your perfect face would be perfect! Dad, can I beat up Trunks?

Gohan: Whatever.

Ryan: So while your daughter is fighting Trunks, would you like to sing?

Gohan: You know, I just wanna get tonight over with. So tonight I'm going to sing Makes Me Wonder by Maroon 5. Not like it'll matter though.

I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fk about you

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye

God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fk about you

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

I've been here before
One day a week
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
Cause..

I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fk about you and I...
and so this is goodbye

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you,
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah (x 3)
(Oh no)

Randy: Gohan, Gohan. You feeling alright?

Gohan: No. I was out late last night and I just want to go to bed.

Randy: Dude, you shouldn't be out late man. You have a fairly good shot at this but after tonight, I don't know man. That wasn't your best, especially compared to last week. I hope you know what you're doing.

Simon: I agree. Get some sleep Gohan. You look exhausted. Maybe after tomorrow night it won't matter how late you stay out.

Ryan: OK then, to vote for Gohan dial 1-866-IDOLS-04. That's 1-866-IDOLS-04. Next up, Vegeta is gonna close the show out yet again playing that guitar.

Vegeta: So I've only heard one song on that entire list so of course I decided to do that one. Yet again, I will be performing, not singing, Hinder's Better Than Me.

I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered,
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While lookin' through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered,
What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

The bed I'm lyin' in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you
when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)

Randy: Yo, Vegeta! Another spectacular performance. You and Pan up the ante (is that right?) every week. I swear, you are like a god with that guitar. Excellent, excellent!

Simon: (yet again, excessive cheering) Well Vegeta it had to happen sometime. I actually think that you were better than Pan this week. And believe me that takes a lot of effort on my part. Just great; if you keep it up you just might win this thing.

Ryan: Well, Vegeta, you've beat out Simon's favorite this week. How does that make you feel?

Vegeta: How's it supposed to make me feel? I know I'm the best person on this show!I don't need somebody telling me that. And to say that I'm better than Pan is an understatement.

Trunks: (pops head out from behind stage with bloodied nose) Hey dad , I wouldn't. Pan is reaallllllly pissed off right now. She actually drew blood and I think she just upped a level.

Vegeta, Goku, and Gohan: Really!

Goku: Oh, Pan you finally transforme! Awesome! Look Gohan, Pan's a Super-Saiyan!

Ryan: Man, these people are weird. Anyway, dial 1-866-IDOLS-05 to vote for Vegeta. And I'm gonna take that bang I heard backstage as my cue to say Seacrest Out!
