Showtime
Alex looked out at the packed event center to see Jeremy, William, Aelita, and Chandler in the front row. Odd was holding an acoustic guitar, for the country feel. Ulrich had taken a few quick lessons to play a bass guitar. And Yumi and Alex hooked on their wireless mics. With that they took the stage and the crowd quickly fell silent.
Odd started the opening guitar part
Alex: She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until' the night
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said, "I'll love her till I die"
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
Yumi: The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until' the night
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
The Pop Rock Progressives finished their set and left the stage so the Subdigitals could take the stage for Breakaway.
Alex packed up his stuff after the concert and Team Lyoko and Nicholas walked back to Kadic, split off and went to bed, Yumi went home.
"I wonder what you're going to play next." Jeremy said to Alex as they changed for bed.
"No idea Jeremy, but I guarantee that it will be awesome." Alex said as he got in his bed. Jeremy climbed in his, faced the wall, and fell asleep. Alex reached up and shut off the lights.
