Chapter 15
Teddy's POV
"Okay, you're finished. We got to go now," Mo swept all her makeup into her bag while I stared at my reflection. Wow, maybe I could pass for a pop star. Mo opened the bathroom door, "You coming?"
I turned away from the mirror to face her, "Yeah, I'm coming." I stepped away from the counter and followed her out of the bathroom. Stella and Zeke were waiting behind the stage.
"Hey, guys," I said, "Where's Luther and Charlie?"
"Oh, Charlie got Wen's spare outfit and Luther went to go change."
"Okay," I said, taking deep breaths, preparing myself for the role of a lifetime.
"So, did he learn the chords?" Mo asked, dropping her stuff back down on the table and slipping her bass back around her neck. She pulled her hair out from underneath the strap and began to tune it again, mentally playing her notes for the songs.
"Yeah," Stella nodded, "He's a quick learner. I'd have to say that he might know it better than Wen."
"Well, that would be a good thing, right?" Mo asked.
"Duh," Stella nodded.
"I'm his best friend and I didn't even know the guy could play the piano, much less the guitar," Zeke said.
Luther and Charlie headed out of the men's bathroom. Luther now looked like the exact copy of Wen from his features to his clothes.
"Perfect!" Stella exclaimed, "And just in time, too. We're about to go on."
She tossed Luther the key-tar.
"Well, I'm going to go take my seat now, before the show starts," Zeke said, giving Stella a quick kiss on the cheek, "Break a leg, you guys!"
"Thanks!" Stella said.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for what you've all been waiting for. Here to take the stage in our very own Don's Donuts, it's…LEMONADE MOUTH!" the announcer's voice filled the room once more greeted by an eruption of cheers.
Stella headed up to the stage followed by Wen and Charlie. Luther and I exchanged quick looks before following.
I stepped behind the mike, startled by the spotlight that was suddenly on me. I blinked a little, adjusting to the light. Stella spoke into the microphone, "Hey everybody! Are you ready for a revolution?"
The crowd cheered and there were, 'yeah's' scattered throughout the audience.
"That's what I thought. We're Lemonade Mouth. And, our first song for you today is Turn up the Music!"
The crowd cheered and Luther began to play the chords, followed by Stella, Mo, and Charlie. I took a deep breath, about to sing.
I opened my mouth, but no words came out. I panicked. What were the words? C'mon Teddy you know this. You know all of their songs! Now was not the time to forget the lyrics!
Luther gave me an are-you-okay sort of look. I nodded. They began playing the intro over again, because I missed my cue. Suddenly the words flew into my brain. Thank goodness…when my cue came again, I was ready.
Na na na na na, na na
Take a look around
Who would have thought we'd all be here?
So let's mess around
Cause the future is unclear
We've got nothing better to do
We're just trying to get through
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yeah
Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Yeah
All we have is now
Let's make the most of this
Come on break it out
So everyone can hear it
They don't have to understand
But we'll make them if we can
Do you hear me?
Are you with me?
Yeah
Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Yeah
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Yeah
The song finished and I smiled as the audience applauded.
"Are you guys having fun?" Stella asked. The audience grew louder in response. "I hope you are! Because now we have an all new original song for you called Strike a Pose!"
(A/N: I don't normally put these in the middle, but that's the title of a song I wrote. But, I have no music to it and I don't feel like posting the lyrics just in case someone out there might happen to take it. Not that I don't trust you all, I'm just taking precautions. Anyways, back to the story.)
Olivia's POV
I looked at Wen, who was still sitting next to me with his arms around me.
"Wen?"
"Hmm…" he said.
"Do you hear singing?"
He fell silent for a second, straining to hear, "Yeah, I think I do."
"Who's singing if we're in here," I wondered.
"Maybe Mo?" he responded.
"Maybe…but, it doesn't sound like her," I said.
"I don't know, but I hope someone finds us soon."
Chapter 15! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I wish I got more reviews for my last one, though! Please review this one, at least! And, check out Muggles vs. Wizards! I only got one review for the chapter I uploaded yesterday. And, I uploaded another one today, too because I'm nice! It would mean a lot. Also, Mika Door and I posted up one shots yesterday based on a line that Adam said in an interview about how Bridgit sings like an angel. Mine's called Angel and Mika Door's is called The Voice. You should read those, too! Please read and review ALL OF THEM! That would mean the world. Oh, and you all should read WolfsbaneRose's story, After the Show, if you want her to add more! I think it's good, so you should all check it out…Anyways, love you!
