Fingerbang-Boyband Forever Chapter 4
All I can say at the moment is...enjoy this chapter!
...
Cartman went to answer the phone. He picked it up and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Cartman. How's it going?" asked a familiar voice. It was Charlie.
"It's going great, Charlie," said Cartman. "We just rehearsed for a concert."
"That's good, because I have your first real concert booked," said Charlie.
"That's awesome!" said Cartman excitedly. "I didn't think we'd end up famous so fast! I can't wait 'til we open up for someone who's gonna sing a whole concert in front of millions of people!"
"Well, hold that thought...It's you guys that are singing a whole concert," Charlie replied.
Cartman's eyes widened. "What? But you already booked someone to sing a concert."
"I did. It's just that since that person's not a fanous singer yet, the best I could get for them was to open up for you guys."
"Really? Who is the person?"
"Len Kagamine," said Charlie. Cartman gasped.
"Really? Our buddy Len? I didn't know he had a good singing voice. That singing voice of his must've gotten him a record deal with you guys!"
"It did. That's why I wanted him to open up for you. He's just as good as you guys, and with all the people watching your concert, you're sure to be famous in no time."
"He sounds great! I can't wait to see him perform! Thanks, Charlie!"
"You're welcome. Your concert is at the South Park Arena. So you'd better invite the rest of your guys over, Cartman, for a three-day sleepover because the concert is in three days. The time is 7 o'clock. I don't want you guys to be late!"
"Don't worry! We won't be late! Nothing can make us miss this!" Cartman giggled.
"Good. I'll see you there."
"Okay! Bye Charlie!" said Cartman and he hung up the phone.
"Hey Cartman. Who was that?" asked Kyle.
"It was Charlie! He booked us a whole concert at the South Park Arena and booked Len to open up for us!"
"Cool! Let's get Stan and Kenny over for a three-day sleepover!" said Kyle excitedly.
"And what do you wanna call our band?" asked Cartman.
"How about Fingerbang?" suggested Kyle.
"Sounds perfect," said Cartman.
Stan and Kenny came, of course, and heard the good news. They had brought the rehearsal equipment again, and the boys headed to Cartman's bedroom, making sure to close the door so Kaito wouldn't hear in case he came over.
After setting up, the other boys got in line for their dance routine. Kyle was in front, as usual, and the other boys were behind him. Cartman was in the middle, and Kenny was on the right-hand side. While Stan put the head mics around the other boys' heads, turned them on and attached them to their belts whilst also making sure to do the same with his and press the synthesizer button before getting into line and into position with the others, Kyle said to himself, "Look out world. Here comes your new singing sensation."
Three days later...
Today was the big day. The day that the boys would reveal their wonderful singing voices to the world. As they got ready for the big night, Kyle couldn't stop thinking about Cartman and about how famous the boys had been ever since the karaoke concert. Stan and Kenny had made some trendy costumes at Kenny's house five days ago and brought them to Cartman's house along with the rehearsal equipment. The costumes, including a costume that Kyle had made himself, were in Stan's new sports bag and yesterday, the boys had gotten a call from their parents who had said that they were moving to California and that the boys could move in with Cartman if they wanted. Cartman, of course, accepted this and because of this, he doesn't rip on Kyle and make fun of Jews anymore and he and Kyle talk to each other nicely and even cuddle each other instead of fighting and arguing with each other like they used to.
In addition to this, Charlie had called again and asked the boys if they wanted to invite their friends to come and watch them perform. And to their delight, all their friends said yes! Even Kaito had said that he'd love to hang out backstage and watch the boys perform. Each of the boys had chosen a solo to perform during the concert.
Cartman had a special surprise for Kyle. He had released a solo album before forming a band with the other boys. One of the songs off the album was a special song that Cartman had written. Cartman hadn't had a chance to perform it at the karaoke concert. He'd rehearsed it downstairs while the boys had set up their rehearsal equipment the instant Stan and Kenny had arrived at his house. So the special song that he had written was going to remain a surprise until later that night, since he didn't want Kyle to know beforehand. But they were also excited because they were going to see Len perform too.
In addition to that, a British band called McFly had moved to South Park after Charlie hired them to play behind the boys and Len, because like other boys and girls, Len, Cartman, Stan and Kenny were huge fans of McFly's songs and even Kyle was considered a fanboy of theirs.
He just couldn't stop thinking about that night, no matter how hard he tried, which was considered a good thing, since up until the karaoke concert, all he could think about was being in a boyband. And his dream had finally come true when he was accepted into the band. Since then, he had rarely thought about what romantic things Len and Miku were doing right now. All the boys could think about was their debut as superstars, signing autographs, performing concerts and being looked up to by practically everyone on Earth, like McFly were today. It was something that Kyle had always wanted and now that he and the other boys all lived together, he was sure to be famous in no time.
Baby boy, you're so sweet
I don't have to hide
Baby boy, you're so sweet
You're a part of my life
A song from a solo album that Kyle had released started to play on Kyle's phone, interrupting Kyle and his fantasy. He sighed in frustration as he grabbed his phone that was sitting on top of Cartman's bed and flipped it open.
"Hello?" he answered as politely as he could.
"Hey, guys! Are you ready to go or what?" It was Kaito. "I'm in my red convertible with the others and I didn't wanna knock unless you were ready!"
"Ready?! Kaito, don't be silly! The concert doesn't start for another hour! And Charlie said that we don't have to show up early!"
"We know! But trust me. It's a good idea!"
Kyle sighed. "All right. Just give us ten minutes."
"Okay." Kaito hung up.
Kyle put his cell phone away and opened Cartman's closet. He took out the sports bag, opened it and put his costume inside. It was a green vest that had a sparkly picture of a hand on the front with a pair of gray jeans and black trainers. For accessories, he had packed a blue cap inside and black fingerless gloves. Cartman would give Kyle an extra touch when they got to the arena. Kyle looked perfect enough for now, so once he grabbed Cartman's keys, all four boys ran downstairs with their wallets and the sports bag, Cartman grabbed his car keys and they all left his house, Kyle making sure to lock the door behind him before catching up.
The boys all got into Cartman's blue mini van. Stan, of course, was in the driver's seat. Kenny was next to him and Cartman was in the back seat. All of them looked ready to have some fun performing their concert.
Kyle hopped into the back seat next to Cartman and Stan drove the mini van out of the driveway.
"I can't wait to perform," said Kenny.
"Me neither," said Stan. "We're gonna blow the roof off the whole place!"
"We sure are," said Kyle. "And Cartman said he has a surprise for me."
"Really? Is that true, Cartman?" asked Kenny.
"Yeah," said Cartman. "But I'm gonna give him his surprise when Stan's done his solo. I've brought my guitar."
"Good," said Stan. "Because Kyle's gonna be in for the surprise of a lifetime."
Kyle smiled because of what Stan had just said to Cartman.
...
Within a half hour the boys arrived at the South Park Arena. It was packed! Stan had made a smart move by arriving early, for even though the concert didn't start for another half hour, the South Park Arena was already loaded with people, anxious to see Fingerbang(and to everyone's delight, Len, too). The parking lot was practically full as well, as everyone was fighting off other people for a decent parking spot.
While Stan was fighting off another driver for a good parking spot, Kenny decided to check out the arena from afar. It was huge, covered in white paint, with a big screen hanging over the entrance. It was flashing 'Fingerbang: Appearing Live!', while under it, in small letters, flashed 'Featuring Len Kagamine'. Kenny spotted the sign and turned around in his seat.
"Kyle, look!" he exclaimed, pointing at the screen. Kyle looked where Kenny was pointing and gasped.
"Oh my God! That's so cool!"
"I know! Now everyone knows we're performing here!"
"This is so exciting!" Kyle said excitedly and started bouncing up and down in his seat. Cartman laughed and held him down.
"Kyle, you don't have to get all excited just because we're performing here," he said. Kyle stopped bouncing after that.
Suddenly the car stopped, which surprised the three boys. Kenny turned around and looked at Stan, who was yelling at the driver he had fought earlier for the parking spot. The car was now parked close to the arena with only a few rows of cars separating the boys from their one and only opportunity.
"Ha! This spot is ours!" Stan yelled. He laughed, and turned around to find the others staring at him, sweatdrops visible on the sides of their faces.
"What?" The others ignored him and got out of the car, beginning their walk to the arena, Stan quickly catching up to them.
The boys made their way to the entrance and they didn't talk much, for their walk was very difficult with a lot of other people around. They shoved through people but Cartman and Kyle got to the entrance through where there weren't much people. In the end, Stan and Kenny got through the crowd and made it to the entrance where there were two 13-year-old boys guarding it and taking tickets from crazy and eagar fans. Cartman and Kyle were arguing with one of them and telling him to let them in but he kept holding them back. Stan started to walk to where Cartman and Kyle were standing.
"Sorry, but if you guys wanna get in, you have to show me your tickets," said the 13-year-old boy.
"Hey! Like I said before, we don't have tickets!" shouted Cartman and he and Kyle tried to get past him again but he held them back.
"Then you can't go in to see the boy band!"
Stan came up to join Cartman and Kyle. "Hey!" he shouted. "We're not here to see a boy band! We're the boy band!"
The 13-year-old boy opened his mouth to interrupt but Stan kept going.
"We are Fingerbang." He pulled out the band's first CD, which the band had released yesterday. The 13-year-old boy looked it over and nodded.
"All right," he said. "You and your band may go in. Sorry, Stan. I didn't realize you and the others were a pop group and not some crazy fans."
The two 13-year-old boys stepped aside, and the boys excitedly ran in.
As the band ran off, they entered a dark, black hallway. But that did not stop their excitement one bit. The boys continued to run through the large hall until they reached the inside. They stopped in their tracks and gasped at the site.
It was even bigger inside, with red seats surrounding the entire arena, the large stage facing it up front. As the boys looked around, they also saw the huge groups of people that had already taken their seats. Of course, there were lots of people now, but there were still many empty seats. But still, it was incredible, especially to Kyle. It was his dream come true.
After just standing there for a moment, the boys snapped out of their trance, and ran as fast as they could down the long aisle towards the stage. When they got there, they headed left toward backstage, where Stan once again showed his Fingerbang CD to security, which allowed him and the other boys to go backstage.
When the band finally got directly behind the stage, Kyle peeked out from behind the amplifiers and watched all the fans take their seats. The view was much better from backstage, and the boys knew it was the perfect spot for their friends to watch them perform. They were also excited to be performing here, and couldn't wait for the half hour to pass and for Len to open the show with one of his own songs so they could show just how much talent they had.
"Enjoying the view, are we?"
The gang turned around in surprise to find their friends standing there with none other than the British band McFly. They had formed in 2003 when Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones first met. Danny was a nice looking guy with brown curly hair. He was wearing a black vest with a matching black jacket, blue jeans and white trainers, and was standing there with his arms crossed. He smirked at the boys' expression and walked over to Cartman.
"So you guys must be Fingerbang," said Danny. "We're McFly. It's nice to meet you."
He smiled and held out his hand. Cartman shook his hand and smiled back as the other boys recovered from their shock of seeing Danny.
"It's such an honor to meet you, too," said Cartman, still smiling. "Me and the guys are big fans of yours."
"I can tell," said Danny. "Are you guys ready to perform?"
"Definitely!" Stan and the guys pumped their fists in the air confidently.
Danny chuckled at this and said, "Oh really? What song are you gonna start with?"
Stan put his fist down and turned to the others. "Oh yeah. Guys, I need you to ask Kaito what song we're starting with."
Kyle ran over to Kaito asked him which song the band should start the set with. Kaito checked the CD to see which song would suit best to start off the set with. He then found the perfect song and handed Kyle a piece of paper with lyrics on it. Sonic joined Kaito when he saw the paper and Danny stood next to him.
"I hope you chose a good song for them, Kaito," said Sonic.
"I did," said Kaito. "And guys," he added to the band, "I've turned up your voices on the voice system to make you able to lip-sync so you don't start to run out of breath while singing. It'll really help your career rise in the near future."
"I'm sure it will," said Stan.
"Thanks, dude," said Kyle. "And Stan, this is the song we're starting off with."
Stan took the paper from Kyle and read it over as Kenny looked over his shoulder. Cartman, meanwhile, was watching the rest of McFly setting up their equipment. He was also wondering about how the concert was going to go.
...
After Len had performed his song, he bowed and went off the stage. The announcer's voice came on. "Len Kagamine, everyone!" Everyone cheered. "And now, I'd like to announce that the closing act of our show is m.o.v.e.!" Everyone screamed and cheered but in a few seconds, they calmed down. The announcer continued with what he was saying. "But right now, it's time for the main act of our show! Put your hands together for Fingerbang!"
The crowd screamed and cheered again as the lights in the entire arena dimmed to a minimum and the boys walked onstage, Kyle in front, and Stan, Cartman and Kenny behind him. The boys were wearing headset microphones again, as well as their starting outfits, and they joined the males from the karaoke concert at the front so that Kyle was inbetween the males standing on each side of the boys, and the other boys were directly behind him. They got into a certain formation once they were at the front. Kenny and Stan got beside the males and Cartman stood next to Kyle. Cartman had done Kyle's hair in a nice spiked-out style and Kyle was pleased with the result. The boys and the males pointed their heads downward and put their legs shoulder-length apart while waiting for the music to come on. A few seconds after getting into position, the lights brightened on the stage and spotlights shined on the boys when an electropop beat started and Kyle sang.
Oh oh
Yeah yeah
The boys put their heads up with the males and Kyle began to sing.
I need you here tonight
'Cuz you know that lovin' you feels so right
I want you to be a part of my life
I don't wanna keep on livin' in strife, no no
Kyle faced Cartman and sang.
Baby, right now, you need to know
That I never wanna let you go
The band came in with their instruments and all four boys then started to sing the chorus together and began their dance routine, the other males following their movements.
All I want is you
I want you here with me
All I want is you
Oh baby, can't you see
All I want is you
I can't live without you
If you left, I don't know what I'd do
When the chorus ended, Stan, Kenny and the males continued their dance routine. The second verse began and Kyle danced around Cartman while singing.
I really want you here by my side
I know you'll save me from every strong tide
I want you to know that we'll never be apart
'Cuz if you left, I know you'd still be here in my heart
Baby, right now, you need to know
That I never wanna let you go
Kyle and Cartman were rejoined by the others and all four boys sang the chorus together while they continued with their dance routine.
All I want is you
I want you here with me
All I want is you
Oh baby, can't you see
All I want is you
I can't live without you
If you left, I don't know what I'd do
When the chorus ended, Stan, Kenny and the other males slowly dropped to the floor while Kyle and Cartman stayed in their places. As Kyle continued dancing, Cartman did a rap while the keyboardist did a solo. When Cartman and the keyboardist were done, the keyboardist and the other two band members stopped playing for the time being and Kyle began his bridge while Tom and Danny strummed their guitars. He walked around Cartman instead of dancing this time and he flirted with him again by running his hand through his hair and sweetly singing near his ear. Cartman blushed and began to feel flustered by Kyle's seductive actions. He tried to look at Stan, only to have Kyle softly trace his jaw line and make him look straight into his eyes.
I need you with me every day and night
I want you to hold me tight
I know you'll come for me when you hear my call
I know you're gonna be the one to catch me when I fall
The rest of the band started to come in with their instruments again and Stan, Kenny and the other males rose up and joined in with Kyle and Cartman as the two began dancing again. Then all four boys sang the chorus together while still dancing.
All I want is you
I want you here with me
All I want is you
Oh baby, can't you see
All I want is you
I can't live without you
If you left, I don't know what I'd do
All I want is you
I want you here with me
All I want is you
Oh baby, can't you see
All I want is you
I can't live without you
If you left, I don't know what I'd do
The three band members finished their parts and Tom and Danny played the last of their guitar chords while Kyle sang on his own again.
Oh woah
Yeah yeah
He got close to Cartman and they both sang the last line together.
All I want is you
As they sang that line, Kyle pressed his back to Cartman's chest while holding Cartman's hand and rested his head on Cartman's shoulder while closing his eyes, Tom and Danny playing the ending chord perfectly when Kyle and Cartman got into that position. The crowd then started cheering.
After the boys had performed some more songs, Stan and Cartman's encore began and Stan went back on stage with his electric guitar. After he had performed his solo, he bowed and went off the stage and Cartman walked on to the stage with his acoustic guitar, wearing a plain black T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans and a white jacket with matching white trainers. He sat on a chair that Stan had placed at the front for his performance and spoke into the microphone that Stan had set at just the right height for him.
"I wanna dedicate this song to Kyle Broflovski," he said. He then nodded at the band and he and the band started to play the intro to a slow rock song. Cartman then started to sing.
Oh baby, I really didn't know
Why I wanted to let the other girl go
But now I know why I left her
It's because I know you love me
Oh yeah, I understand now
That you love me anyhow
I'm glad you understand that I can make you feel better
It's always gonna be you and me
Backstage, Kyle could hear Cartman singing. He peeked out from behind the amplifiers.
No matter what happens, I'll forever be by your side
I'll always hold your hand whenever you're scared while on a ride
I'll be the one that comes to make it right
I'll always be here
I'll always hold you tight
A tear of joy rolled down Kyle's cheek. He's so sweet, Kyle thought.
If you ever worry, just call my name
And I'll run to you so you know I came
If you ever feel scared or lonely at all
I'll come and wipe away the tears you cry
I'll never leave your side
Even if you need somewhere to hide
If you ever need me here
I'll come to you even if I'm shy
Stan saw the look of love on Kyle's face. Then he realized something.
"Wendy," he said to himself.
No matter what happens, I'll forever be by your side
I'll always hold your hand whenever you're scared while on a ride
I'll be the one that comes to make it right
I'll always be here
I'll always hold you tight
Kyle brought a fist to his chest and held it there with his other hand. That song of his is so touching, he thought.
I'll never ever let you go
I'll always be here by your side
You know I'm gonna be the one to catch you when you fall
You'll always be in my heart
Stan then realized something else. Wait a minute, he thought. Luka and Rin made Cartman write that song to show Kyle how much he loves him. They are in so much trouble when we get home!
Meanwhile, Cartman was still playing his song onstage. Kyle couldn't believe it. The surprise Cartman had planned for him was a song. Cartman had written that song just for him.
No matter what happens, I'll forever be by your side
I'll always hold your hand whenever you're scared while on a ride
I'll be the one that comes to make it right
I'll always be here
I'll always hold you tight
No matter what happens, I'll forever be by your side
I'll always hold your hand whenever you're scared while on a ride
I'll be the one that comes to make it right
I'll always be here
I'll always hold you tight
Cartman and the band then played the ending chord and the song ended. The crowd screamed and cheered and applauded. Cartman then got off his chair and bowed. He then spoke into his microphone.
"Thank you, everybody! Goodnight! We love you! We're Fingerbang and we're out!"
The crowd then cheered even louder as Cartman left the stage.
The announcer's voice then came on. "Give it up one more time for Fingerbang!" The crowed cheered even more. The announcer then said, "And now, here's the moment you've all been waiting for! Put your hands together for m.o.v.e.!"
The crowd cheered as a singer, a rapper and a DJ went on stage. Right now, Cartman didn't care about their performance or how great it turned out. He and Stan concentrated on signing autographs for everyone that had backstage passes. When they were done, they got changed into the outfits they had arrived at the arena in. Kenny and Kyle had already signed their autographs so they had already changed into the clothes they had come to the arena in. When Cartman and Stan came back, Cartman saw Kyle looking at him lovingly.
"Kyle, what's wrong?" he asked.
Kyle threw his arms around Cartman and sobbed happily. "Oh, Cartman," he cried. "That song was so touching."
"I know," said Cartman. Kaito saw this and offered the two a ride home, which they accepted.
When the two got into Cartman's house, they went upstairs to their bedroom. Cartman soothed Kyle, whose crying had built up again because of the thoughts about the song, by holding him close, rocking him back and forth and singing another song he had written about his feelings for him.
When he was done, Kyle calmed down. He moved his head from Cartman's chest and looked into Cartman's eyes.
"We'll always be a boyband forever, won't we?" asked Kyle.
"Yeah," said Cartman, smiling. "You're stuck with us for life."
Kyle giggled. "And you know it," he said, kissing Cartman on the lips. Cartman closed his eyes to deepen the kiss.
It's all about feelings for another guy when you're gay, Kyle thought.
Stan and Kenny got home, making Kyle and Cartman pull apart. They came downstairs and had dinner with the others. When they got back to the living room, they found that someone had sent them some money. Cartman, Stan and Kenny had each been given $400. Kyle, however, had been given $600, considering the fact that he had performed very well at the karaoke concert six days ago. Later on, Rin, Miku, Luka and the others came over, excited.
"You guys were great up there!" shouted Miku.
"You guys so totally rock!" yelled Len.
"I'll bet that concert was good enough for everyone, because I sure thought it was," said Tails.
Luka turned around and saw Kyle crying into Cartman's chest.
"Looks like Kyle's a bit upset," she said.
"Do you know why?" asked Stan. Luka and Rin shook their heads.
"It's because you two made Cartman write that one song that would stop Kyle from ripping on him!" Stan shouted. "He practically cried while watching Cartman sing that song onstage!"
"Stan!" shouted Len. "Control yourself!"
"We didn't mean to, Stan," said Rin. "We just thought we'd make Kyle feel better by having Cartman write a song about his feelings."
"Well, you two thought wrong!" yelled Stan. "You've really made Kyle go all sweet around Cartman! Now Kyle and Cartman are never gonna be able to rip on each other again!"
"Stan, calm down!" Kaito yelled. "They're only boys!"
"Stan, we didn't mean to let it happen," said Luka. "Kyle just needed a bit of cheering up, that's all."
"If you told Kaito about it before you made Cartman write that song, Kaito would've bought Kyle some ice cream to cheer him up!" Stan shouted. "How many times has Miku had to-"
"Stan, that's enough!" yelled Gakupo. "They were only trying to help!"
"Guys, guys," said Sonic. "Let's not argue anymore. Cartman, how long have you and Kyle been in love with each other for?"
"Ever since last year, Sonic," said Cartman. "So Luka and Rin insisted that I write that song to comfort Kyle because he told them that he'd had nightmares for a week."
"See, Stan?" said Miku. "They didn't do anything wrong. Unless you are suggesting they put him under a spell on purpose, I'm afraid they didn't wanna bother with that and they didn't want Kyle and Cartman ripping on each other any further either." She grabbed her bag and left the house, the others following apart from Sonic and Len.
"Well, at least that means Kyle and Cartman aren't fighting and shouting at each other anymore," said Stan.
"You bet it does," said Sonic. "I'd have told Cartman on Henry if I were you, Kyle."
"I know," sniffed Kyle. "I'll remember next time."
After that, Sonic and Len left the house, knowing that the boys would be more famous than ever.
...
That's the end of this chapter! And for this chapter, I made up some song lyrics on . And the other lyrics I used are also used in my two other fanfics. R&R please! And I'll see y'all in the next chapter! Bye!
