Yeah I know that I said it was going to become on massive chapter, but I got really lazy, but here is the second half to One Big Saturday.
Enjoy
Normal Junpei POV; Saturday, Afternoon
"Hmm what to do today?" I have no clue at all.
"Junpei."
"Man who knew it be hard to get some excitement in Toronto." We were sitting at the food court in the center, just thinking.
"Junpei, look up!" I why can't I find anything? She'd be sooo mad at me.
"Ya friggin idiot! Look at the friggin sign up on the wall!" And I did look up.
Toronto Annual Music Festival
Duets Requested! Give it your all or get off the stage!
Grand Prize:…
"100 thousand dollars! Damn!" That's like a shit load of yen, and I could be set for life. But why would she want us to enter? I mean, I have a terrible singing voice.
"We could go on vacation anywhere in the world! Or do anything we want!?" She then picked me off the chair. "What's wrong? Is being in front of people just something Junpei Iori can't handle?" Hey, I am sort of great with people. I think…
"No but…" I didn't want to-
"You suck ass at singing and you don't want to embarrass yourself and more likely me in a national competition that will be most likely be recorded." She had a smirk and an I told you face.
"Please don't make me do this. I am trying to really do my best but… I am scared of being humiliated in front of people." She then did a pout and said,
"But don't you do that every day?" she did get me there, but it was rude to bring up something so… sad about me.
"Yeah but…" She then cupped my cheeks and looked at me.
"Come on, we all got to face our fears at one point in our lives. And that includes you too, so what do you say?" I got up and had to agree, YOLO god damn it!
"I guess, but what song are we going to do?"
"Oh you'll see, and trust me Junpei you will love it!" She then threw her arms over me and whispered…
"And you won't forget it."
Normal Akihiko POV; Saturday, Afternoon
"Wow, I can't believe you're actually going along with this!" Minako as she straightened out my tie. I had on my red tie and white jacket along with matching pants and shoes. She was wearing a black dress with her hair done up in her usual ponytail. She then looked back at me and said,
"You know you don't have to big boy. I mean you can wuss out and do something else." That's something I secretly loved about her but won't ever admit it. I love how she likes to challenge the way I do shit.
"Load of BS Minako. Load of BS." I then gave her a hug as I smelled her hair. Mm, strawberries.
"Come on, everyone's waiting. Ready to give them a show?"
"Of course."
Normal Yukari POV; Saturday, Afternoon
"So being security guard at a singing contest is your day of a Satudray?" Aigis was really skeptical to do this. And also due to the fact that this was just volunteer work, so we weren't even being paid.
"Who knew that my girl would be such a cheap ass." I resent that! Now I am even starting to sound like Iori in my head.
"Uh excuse me, you two? Can I have a word with you." It was a guy in his twenties with a gruffly goatee/ beard and short brown hair. He reminded me of a cowboy, and that's what his attire suggested.
"Yeah, what do you need from us?" He then motioned us to follow him into an upper room from the mall. We could see the stage and a lot of people starting to line up. It was pretty impressive for just a contest. Aigis then whispered,
"I forgot, but why is this thing so popular again?" The guy who just let us in the answered,
"Because the duet that wins gets to sing right before Envy Adams goes on, as she is also the main part of this event. Now you two, do you want to enter?" There had to be a catch because nothing is ever given like that without a catch.
"Why are you letting us go on?"
"Because," He squinted his eyes with his fingers."The opening contestants dropped out and we can't find anyone to do it. So I was wondering if you two wanted to and then just get back to your jobs. You in?" Before I could even respond,
"Hell yea!"
"I think that is a yes. You're on in about 15 minutes. Good luck."
Normal Akihiko POV; Saturday, Afternoon
I could hear the crowds getting ready as the audience was almost filled. We were second to go one in about 20 pairs, so I was pretty nervous. What if we didn't do a good show and I embarrass Minako forever as she knows me!?
"You still nervous aren't you? Relax and look on the bright side." She kissed my cheek as she pulled a seat right by me. We, along with some of the other contestants got to sit on the side and watch each of us fail terribly.
"At least we aren't the opening act." Then the guy that we signed up to came on stage.
"Hello everyone, my name is Stephen Stills and thanks for coming today! And now, get ready for our first duet and also some hired help, Yukari Takeba and Aigis Stones!" Me and Minako almost fell out of our chairs when we saw the two walk on stage. And they were both dressed like security guards, so that is what Stills mean by hired help. And then, we heard something we had never heard before.
An emotional girl with a robot dressed as Canadian security guards singing a song from a British themed movie. Aigis started the first few lines, and as the opening notes came on and everyone knew what they were singing an opening applause came on…
Aigis first:
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move then
Hear my hear burst again…
Then Yukari:
This is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away I'm stolen
Then both, as the music picked up the applause came out again:
Let the Skyfall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
And face it together
Let the Skyfall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
And face it together
At Skyfall
At Skyfall
Both of them start singing, alternating lines:
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number
You may take my name
But you will never have my heart
Both:
Let the Skyfall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
And face it together
Let the Skyfall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
And face it together
At Skyfall Chorus takes over for a bit:
Let the skyfall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Let the skyfall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Back to alternating lines:
Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we'll Stand!
WOW. That performance was amazing, and considering the expectations I and along with the crowds, we were all blown away at practically professional grade singing. It was short and the lyrics repeated itself a lot, but just how their voices were so majestic, especially Aigis, it helped make a riveting 4 minutes. I looked at Minako and she had the same jaw-dropped expression.
"Damn Aki, what just happened?" Most of the contestants were now really nervous, as that was the opening act. I looked up to the booth box and saw Stills talking to what seemed to be Envy Adams. She had a smirk on her face, thinking that the best had come out first.
"Hey you guys! You're here too!" Yukari called as they got off stage. They were soo good! They took two chairs and sat right by us.
"Uh… you guys were great. No scratch that amazing!" Minako too was really impressed by their performance. And she isn't impressed normally by people. Other things, like a hobo unicorn we saw on a street, yes.
"So who do you think is next?" Ai asked me. I am just hoping that Stills doesn't call out…
"And up next is our next duet that is also from a foreign country! Give it up for Akihiko Sanada and Minako Arisato!" Oh my friggin glob! Minako even dragged me to the stage, which got some humor out of the crowd, but when then music started and I straightened out myself for a song I had on listened to once, and with alternating lines…
4 minutes later…
"Oh god we sucked…" I muttered to myself. I had gave it my all, and from Minako's eyes she had as well. Then slowly someone had started to clap and a roaring applause came on. I smiled to myself as Minako got me in an arm grip.
"Well that was an amazing performance of 'Locked out of Heaven' by Bruno Mars. And it was also one of the more unconventional ways to sing it too. Akihiko Sanada and Minako Arisato everyone!" And applause leads us off the stage.
"Wow guys, way to follow up!" Yukari patted my back.
"Great! Now most likely it will either be us or you guys!" Ai then looked at Minako and grinned.
"Cause the next two just pissed their pants and got off stage."
1 Hour Later
Now the rest of the event was really boring and uneventful. While some performances were mediocre, most didn't light a candle to our two performances. The crowd wasn't too happy either, seeing that the best was first and not last. Even Stills was showing some edginess.
"Shit, this is what I get for having those two. Now I have no one left…" Then two extra people got on stage, looking like contestants. One had a goatee and the othe had- wait was that Junpei!? And his other partner… I haven't seen her I think? She was wearing a color scheme similar to Junpei, a light blue skirt and a darker blouse with a grey beanie attached with pins. The only thing standing out was her shoes.
"Come on Stills, you have to let us on!" He then looked at the teenage girl grabbing him by the arm.
"Who-wait I've seen you before!" Everyone could hear their little conversation on stage.
"Yeah, I was the girl who saved that one guy who was choking from a piece of garlic bread. His girlfriend even thanked me. Please…?" She even tried her puppy eyes, which I had to admit Asians were really good at sometimes. Minako is living proof.
"Well because you saved Scott…" He stressed the name and looked up to the booth, where said brunette hid behind- Envy Adams!?
"Ok everyone! We have two um, special and unexpected contestants and please welcome, Junpei Iori and Mira Nekora!" They took their mics as she whispered their song into Stills ear.
"Baka…" But fortunately for Junpei, since he seemed like he was about to have a heart attack, as a dark haired woman appeared out of a bright yellow light and a punched Mira in the face. All four of us rushed on stage along with Envy Adams and so called 'Scott'. Wait- they jumped out of the booth? That must be at least a 50 foot drop.
"Lynette! What the hell are you doing here!?" Adams yelled. "Why couldn't you save this for another time!? (ahem another fanfiction)" She then took a nearby guitar and swung it at said woman who extended her arm and smashed it into pieces.
"Bring it bitch." I then turned to Minako who was- eating some popcorn!? She looked at my confused look and said,
"What it ain't out fight… besides it's nice to sit back and watch two chicks fight for a change." She then turned to Aigis and Yukari who also followed suit with snacks. I just brought myself a chair and watched.
Normal Junpei POV; Saturday, Afternoon
Thank god I didn't have to go on. Too bad for…
"Oh hell no!" Mira brought out a small hammer out of nowhere." You are not ruining this for me you robot armed skank!"
Eh.
Sorry for the three week wait. I hope I can get soon another update.
