Okay, so here it is. This is another songfic, but I skipped a couple parts near the end, but if you listen to the song you'll get it.
Oh, Eden. I love this song!
That's good Cross. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I hope you all enjoy it to.
Disclaimer: Insert Digimon Disclaimer Here. I don't own the song Brick By Boring Brick by Paramore either.

Chapter 9: Brick By Boring Brick.
"Hey, aren't you guys the Teenage Wolves?" the short man asked. He was Andrew Hiroki, one of the world's most famous managers in the music industry, and he was in Star Valley searching for 'new talent'. Anybody could audition.
"Not anymore. We dropped our old singer and changed our name. We're the Shooting Stars now!" replied the drummer, his nose a little crooked from his encounter with Matt. Mr. Hiroki nodded, pointing to the stage.
"Alright, let's see what you've got." he said. The group performed their song, and Mr. Hiroki nodded. "I have to say you guys are pretty good. You're definitely on top. We've got one more band before I decide." he explained. The group left the room.
"Alright, our final group. Bring me in the Eternal Flames!" he said. The doors opened and Matt walked, followed by the others. They quickly explained who they were and what they were performing, and wasted no time getting ready.
Because the song they were performing had no keyboard or piano part, Matt had taught Tai how to play one of the guitar parts while he just sung, and he was surprisingly good at it.
"Ready?" asked Matt everyone nodded. "Okay. One, two, one two three four."
The first guitar (played by Tai) began playing, accompanied by a skilled drum beat from Izzy. Sora's bass guitar could be heard in the back. Tk came in with his guitar part just before Matt began singing.
"Well she lives in a fairy tale, somewhere too far for us to find,
Forgotten the taste and smell of a world that she's left behind,
It's all about the exposure, the lens I told her,
The angles were all wrong, now she's ripping wings off of butterflies,
Keep your feet on the ground,
When your head's in the clouds,"
As Matt began the chorus, Mimi and Kari began singing.
"Well go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole,
To bury the castle, bury the castle,
Go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole,
To bury the castle, bury the castle,"
Suddenly, all that could be heard was Sora's bass guitar and a faint drum beat.
"Ba da ba, ba da ba ba da."
The music came back on and Matt took a minute to rest his voice.
"Well one day he found her crying, coiled up on the dirty ground,
Her prince finally came to save her, and the rest you can figure out,
But it was a trick, and the clock struck twelve,
Well make sure to build your heart brick by boring brick, or the wolf's gonna blow it down.
Keep your feet on the ground,
When your head's in the clouds,
Well go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole,
To bury the castle, bury the castle,
Go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole,
To bury the castle, bury the castle,"
Matt looked around to see all of his friends enjoying the whole experience. He smiled. The euphoric feeling of being a musician was addictive.
"Well, you built up a world of magic,
Because your real life is tragic,
Yeah, you built up a world of magic,
If it's not real, you can't hold it in your hand, you can't feel it with your heart,
And I won't believe it,
But if it's true, you can see it with your eyes, oh even in the dark,
And that's where I want to be, yeah!"
Time for the big finish. Matt let the music play out before he threw in one final verse.
"Ba da ba ba, ba da ba ba da, ba da ba ba, ba da ba ba.
Ba da ba ba, ba da ba ba da, ba da ba ba, ba da ba ba.
Ba da ba ba, ba da ba ba da, ba da ba ba, ba da ba ba.
Ba da ba ba, ba da ba ba da, ba da ba ba ba, ba ba ba!"
(I know it's kind of confusing, but listen to the song and you'll get it)
They added a sudden stop in the music at the end to add effect. They all took a bow and waited for Mr. Hiroki's opinion.
"That was possibly the best thing I've heard all day!" he shouted excitedly. Matt grinned wide.
"Seriously?" he asked. Mr. Hiroki nodded.
"Indeed, Matt. I don't know where you found such talented musicians, but they are all amazing. And you, oh my goodness I could feel the raw emotion pouring from you words. It was…breathtaking." he said. He looked over at his assistants.
"I do believe we've found our winners. Matt, I would like to offer your band a full record deal with Burning Records. I'll give you my information and you can call or e-mail me whenever you like. I eagerly await your response." he said before leaving. Matt looked at his friends, eyes wide.
"We did it! We got a record deal! That was amazing guys! I can't believe Andrew Hiroki gave us a record deal." he cried. They all smiled, cheering. As they stepped from the room they came face to face with Matt's old band.
"Oh my god, how did you losers get the record deal?" hissed the drummer. Sora stepped forward before Matt could break his nose again.
"Sorry, wasn't it obvious? We were just better than you." she replied bluntly, a smile creeping across her face. The drummer growled and took a step forward, and Matt put an arm out.
"Touch her and you deal with me. I wouldn't want to break your nose again. Well, actually I would." he added smugly. The drummer raised a fist to strike Matt when out of nowhere came a foot, colliding directly with into his stomach. That foot was connected to a leg, and that leg was connected to the one person nobody expected.
Tai.
The drummer doubled over in pain, and everyone stared at Tai.
"What…?" Matt began. Suddenly Kari burst out laughing. Everyone shifted their gaze to her.
"Oh…my god…I forgot…" she stuttered between laughs. She finally managed to calm down, and flashed a huge grin to them all.
"My brother just happens to be a black belt in several martial arts. I haven't seen him actually use them in a while." she explained. Matt looked over at Tai, smiling.
"Wow, I never even thought about that. You're amazing!" he said. Tai smiled widely. He glanced over at the boy now struggling to regain his bearings.
"Now, if you want to try that again, I just might ask my boyfriend to aim lower next time." he hissed, smiling wickedly.
"Screw you Ishida…" growled the other boy. Matt smiled.
"You wish."
