Miranda had no trouble getting to the stage after her initial fall. Her song was "Beautiful" by Christina Auguilera.
Mmm mmm mmm
Ohh
Ah ah ah, ah ah
Ohh
Everything is so wonderful
Then suddenly,
It's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Words won't bring me down, no no
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed
In all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone,
Ain't that the way it is?
But you are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful
In every single way
Words won't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
No matter where we go
No matter what they say
It's a song inside the tune
And everywhere we go
The sun will always shine
The sun will always, always shine.
'Coz we are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring us down
We are beautiful
In every single way
Words won't bring us down, oh no
So don't you bring me down,
Ooh, today
Everybody clapped, some more out of politeness than anything else because they didn't really know Miranda that well. Several members of the Clan of Noah who had not shown up last season (mostly because the author didn't know much about them, eh heh) had snuck in, including Tyki's older brother Sheryl.
There had been much rejoicing.
Sorry, that was a lie. Tyki was more of trying to massacre the happy family of Road and Sheryl around him. But that was against his policies (for now).
"Is everybody situated?" Komui looked around at the almost doubled crowd. "Jeez, when did all of you get in here?"
"The gatekeeper was yelling really loud," commented the twins known as Jasdero and Devito. "It was annoying."
"I know that, jeez," Komui said. "I mean, when did a choir get in here?!"
"Search me," was the answer from most.
"Okay, let's get a move on. Up next is Sheryl." He paused. "We haven't met yet, have we? Whatever. Onward!"
