Nick said through Muzzle time, "You want to go to that new Beauty and the Wildebeest movie?"
Judy replied excitedly, "Yeah! After the competition gets over we could go over and watch it."
"I can't tell if this will be a treat for winning or a punishment for losing…" he smirked into the video cam so she could see it.
She rolled her eyes, "Har-har. Win or lose I won't think less of you for going with me to see this movie. I saw the original as a kid and I want to see how much it changed."
"And the fact it's a romance so you'll want someone to wrap their arm around you during the romantic parts so you won't feel so lonely…"
"That's beside the point!" but the blush on her cheeks said otherwise.
He chuckled, "Okay, Fluff, after the final battle, we'll go watch the movie."
She giggled, "I knew you would come around. Oh, and Fru will be tagging along, she's just as excited to see it, I hope you don't mind."
"No problem, I'll just find my own chaperone to bring along."
She rolled her eyes again but was smiling nevertheless.
The final battle was at hand. Fox 'N Spots and Bobby were backstage as they waited for their headmaster to start them off. Headmaster Lionheart took the stage and announced, "And now for the final competition of the Battle of the Bands! Fox 'N Spots verses Robert Clawson!" There was cheering as Lionheart held his paw up to silent the crowd, "First up, Fox 'N Spots!" The band got on to prep themselves and Nick quickly scanned the crowds and found who he was looking for as she jumped up and waved to him causing a smile on his lips.
Lionheart addressed the band, "Do you have any words to share before we hear your final song?"
Nick spoke into his microphone, "Yes, we'd like to thank all our wonderful fans, you're awesome." that caused a few laughs then Nick said, "And I especially want to thank my girlfriend, Judy Hopps for supporting me from the beginning of this competition…"
There were awes as Judy blushed from the gushing and her friends smirking at her.
You dumb wonderful fox…
"This song's for you, Carrots…" and he began to play.
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
(Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little
Every little
Every little
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Thing she does is magic
Eee oh oh...)
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing she does is magic, magic, magic…
Magic, magic, magic…
When it was over, cheers erupted all over the place and there were even a few whistles. The headmaster came back and exclaimed, "Well done! Excellent!" The boys took a bow before leaving. Lionheart went back to the crowd, "Now, Bobby Clawson!"
The panther came up with guitar at the ready and the headmaster asked, "And do you have anything to say before we get to your song?"
Bobby stated, "Just one thing," he said into the microphone, "This goes out to all those who considers music their passion…" he began to play and sang.
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind
Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoo's of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life…
When he was done, cheers erupted from the crowd and he took a quick bow. Once he was off the stage, Lionheart came on again and faced the audience, "A wonderful song from a wonderfully talented student and I want to take this moment to congratulate these students from making it this far but now we must announce the winner of this year's Battle of the Bands…" there was hush over the assembly as Lionheart looked at a piece of paper and declared, "Robert Clawson!"
A great cheer came over the masses as the panther went on stage just as the headmaster presented him with the trophy and shook his paw.
Once the excitement had died down and the audience had gone, Nick found Bobby talking with Judy and Amanda and went to them. The fox cleared his throat to get the panther's attention and held out his paw.
"Congratulations."
Bobby eyed the paw before taking it and replied, "Thanks, you did a great job today too, sorry for your loss."
"That's okay, my girl is treating me to ice cream later to ease the pain."
Judy crossed her arms, "But we're going to the movie so there won't be time for ice cream afterwards."
Ben came up to them excitedly, "I actually know an ice cream parlor that's not far from the theater!"
Nick had a smug look causing Judy to sigh.
As the cheetah, fox, rabbit, and shrew left the movie theater, Ben and Fru gushed over their favorite parts.
"I really like Lemfou's character!" Ben exclaimed, "He was totally someone I could relate to on so many levels!"
Fru sighed lovingly, "The romance was so perfect…"
The smiling cheetah pointed, "Yeah, and I noticed our real life couple were leaning on each other during those parts especially the dance scene…" he smirked at Nick and Judy. Which made the rabbit gape.
"But it was dark in there!" Judy cried out, "How did you see that?!"
Nick sarcastically said as he checked his phone, "Carrots, you forget most predators have night version, I'm pretty sure half the audience saw us."
That caused her to go red all over, "Oh, sweet cheese and crackers."
Fru giggled and decided to help change the subject so her friend wouldn't feel embarrassed anymore, "I love the new songs they put in as well. My favorite is 'Evermore'."
Judy sighed fondly, "Mine too."
Nick said, "Well had I known that sooner, I would have sung that at the competition and then maybe we would have won instead."
Ben commented, "I think its great Bobby had won, he's a great singer and guitarist. He's definitely going to make it big if he keeps it up, he might eventually help Gazelle compose her songs!"
Judy smiled, "That's an awesome idea. We should totally tell Giselle that."
They kept chatting away unaware of two rabbits were watching them from a fair distance after getting out of the movie theater.
Roland stated, "That movie was a waste of time. Other than the actor that played Gaurston, it was a worthless piece of shit."
Ruby rolled her eyes, "The only reason you liked Gaurston was because you saw yourself in him, and if you aren't careful, brother, you'll end up having the same demise as him if you keep pursuing Judy."
He gnashed his teeth, "Well I wouldn't be in this position had a certain bunny done her job right."
"Hey, at least I didn't tell Judy that you insisted I enrolled into Menagerie Prep Academy after I failed to enroll into All-Girls' or how I hired those tramps because you knew them before."
"As long as you keep your mouth shut about my involvement I won't have to beat the crap out of you like last time."
She said in annoyance, "Yes, I'm well aware what's at stake here, trust me, you won't see me squealing."
Suddenly he forcibly grabbed her arm and harshly whispered in her ear, "Take that tone with me again and you'll regret it… Is that understood?"
She gritted her teeth from the pain and whispered back, "Crystal clear…"
He let go and she rubbed her arm. Then he turned away and said, "Why I had you for a sister, I shall never know… Like that movie, you're a piece of shit." and with that he walked away not seeing the tears forming in her eyes.
AN: I do apologize of how anti-climatic the Battle of the Bands arch was but I was at a disadvantage of writing it as I do not play an instrument or know anybody with their own band so I hope I made that up by adding songs that you dear readers have suggested.
