It is time for the big event! The singing competition between Hannah and Utau! I will try not to be biast… (GOOO UTAU! NANA MIZUKI PWNS MILEY CYRUS!) I will cheer for each girl equally. (UTAU CAN BEAT THE SNOT OUT OF HANNAH MONTANA!) But it's not my opinion that matters, now is it? All that matters is this chapter. I hope you enjoy.

Upbeat, poppy music began to start up, and the crowd of tween girls cheered really loudly.

"They do realize this isn't a concert right?" Rima muttered.

"It's dinner theater!" Yaya squealed.

Sometimes I walk a little faster,

In the school hallway just to get next to you

Some days I spend a little extra time,

In the morning just to impress you

Guess you don't notice,

Guess you dont need this,

Sad you're not seein' what you're missin'

On the outside shyin' away,

On the inside dyin' to say

Utau was not the least bit nervous. But Amu was shaking. 'There's no way I can do better than that,'

"Hey Amu,"

"What?"

"Ikuto will be cheering you on too. So don't chicken out of this,"

"W-why would I do that!?" She responded in her "CoolNSpicy" tone.

"Cause you're nervous,"

"Am not,"

"Please. You're shaking hysterically,"

"So?"

"Just do your best,"

Yaya seemed impressed by Hannah Montana. Her song was catchy. But Yaya couldn't quite call her her favorite artist.

Sometimes I wish,

When the phone rings,

That it would be you,

Sayin' let's hang out!

Then you confess,

That there's somethin'

Special between us,

Why don't we find out?

But you don't even know me,

Guess you don't need me,

Why you're not seein' what you're missin'

On the outside shyin' away,

On the inside dyin' to say,

Whoo!

The tweens couldn't have cheered any louder, or Rima'd have gone deaf. "They are being really obnoxious,"

"Don't worry about them, Rima-chan. They'll quiet down soon enough. And I've got earplugs," Nagihiko passed a box to her.

"And you didn't give this out earlier, because?"

"I didn't know I had them…" He admitted.

The song was over soon enough, and it was Utau's turn to go.

"Now ladies and gentlemen, we have another special guest. She's a famous Japanese pop idol, and she is very excited to be here. Introducing, Ms. Utau Hoshina!"

Though it seems as if you are being weighed down by grief, stop making such a pathetic face
And cast away such frivolous things as your Cheap Pride.

Zack, who had been waiting for her performance. She was beautiful, as she always was, but she seemed… different when she was performing. She had the sweetest smile he'd ever seen, and she was a really good soprano.

The sun shines down upon you; come on, let's live
That's right; in all honesty, I want you to smile and have fun.
Happiness I want you to experience a kind of dazzling Happiness.

Bailey couldn't decide who she liked better. She was always a huge Hannah Montana fan, but Utau's song was beautiful and touching. She decided that she could like both equally, and that they were both as good.

You have a dream, so don't let anyone ever take it from you.
Take a deep breath; I want you to tell me all about it right now, I want you to reach out and grab that dream, but I know you need to be patient.
Show me a smile that's as amazing as the sun!

Then there was Cody, who seemed as impressed as the other two. He was really happy that she was singing this song. There was something about that always put him in a better mood. Probably the message that it's okay to be yourself and no one's holding you back.

Glorious Sunshine!

The sun shines down upon you; come on, let's live!
Go and give a Kiss that could even make a goddess jealous.

Amu, who was waiting back stage, wasn't as tense as she was before. Utau believed in her. Ikuto believed in her. All of her friends believed in her. So what was there to be nervous about? Utau had trained her for the past few weeks (reluctantly) and she was doing better than ever. There was no way she couldn't fail this. No way at all.

After all, she had to repay Utau. What better way than to perform at her best?

"Thank you, Ms. Hoshina!" Mr. Moseby came back on stage. "Ms. Montana's and Ms. Hoshina's albums are available to buy in the lobby or in the gift shops. Please feel free to take a look. Our next singer tonight is another girl from Japan. Her name is Ms. Amu Hinamori,"

'This is it. It's my time to shine,'

Wow, I'm so cruel with all these short chapters. xD Gomen ne. I'm trying my best to make this enjoyable, but also to get this done quickly. So Amu will be next chapter. And the winner will be announced too. I can't believe I've gotten three chapters done today! I really have too much free time. xD I again apologize for the shortness of all my chapters, but I hope you understand where I am coming from. I didn't want to put this on hiatus, because I didn't want to disappoint you guys. So I decided to just push everything aside and finish this. I hope it's still enjoyable even though it's so short. -_-;

Please R&R!
