Chapter 12: You and I Tonight
"Tonight, a candle lights the room,
Tonight, it's only me and you,
Your skin is like gravity,
Is pulling every part of me,
I fall, you and I collide,
And what if I stay forever,
What if there's no goodbye,
Frozen for a moment here in time, yeah,
If you tell me the sky is falling,
We'll see that the stars collide,
The only thing that matters in my life,
Is you and I tonight."
Matt took a moment's pause to look at his band. Tai was once again on a guitar, which he seemed to enjoy very much, and everyone was having fun.
"Our eyes close, the candle burns away,
But I know the fire still remains,
This love is all we need,
We fit together perfectly,
I fall, you and I collide,
And what if I stay forever,
What if there's no goodbye,
Frozen for a moment here in time, yeah,
If you tell me the sky is falling,
We'll see that the stars collide,
I wanna see this through,
I'm gonna give it all to you,
Tonight a candle lights the room,
Tonight it's only me and you."
Matt finished here, cutting out the final verse because of the time limit. All of the judges clapped, and the two bands once again stood before their critics.
"Even better than last time. I once again have to go with the Shooting Stars." said Ike Vandergraff.
"As much as I agree with Ike, I'm going with Mockingjay this time." Tomas Yaris added. Next was Blair Cramer.
"I'm with Mockingjay again. That was stunning." she said. Melissa Bergman nodded.
"Indeed. Mockingjay has earned Mother Brain's stamp of approval." she said. Andrew Hiroki clapped again.
"Regardless of who I choose, Mockingjay wins. So I chose Mockingjay." he said proudly. Matt and his friends cheered. Tai hugged him tightly. Everyone laughed, while the Shooting Stars left.
"So, since you won this time, you all get to go on a $1,000 shopping spree. That's $1,000 for each of you, I mean, sponsored by Burning Records." said Andrew Hiroki.
"Thank you very much." said Sora, and everyone agreed before departing.

That night, after spending all afternoon shopping in the enormous La Boulaie Mall, Matt found himself standing on the roof terrace of the Palace Hotel. He was lucky, as he was the only one there so he could practice his next song. He wanted to dedicate this one to Tai.
"I want you to…no that's not right…hm…" some one wrapped their arms around his waist, and Matt immediately tensed up. When he felt a face nuzzle his back affectionately, he relaxed.
"Hey Tai. You shouldn't sneak up on people." he turned and kissed Tai passionately. Tai kissed back, and the stayed like that for a while. Finally, the need for air became too great, and they had to pull apart.
"I love you." said Matt softly. Tai smiled and kissed Matt on the nose, indicating his mutual response. Matt laughed.
"You're so cute." he said, then he leaned down and kissed Tai's nose. Tai blushed.
"I was writing a song for you." Matt said. Tai smiled. "But you can't hear it yet." Matt finished. Tai frowned. Matt laughed again and pulled Tai towards the door.

Sora had knocked five times before someone finally came to the door. When it opened, Matt stood, staring at her, with messed up hair and no shirt on. She glanced into the room and saw Tai in Matt's bed, also without a shirt, blushing intensely. Sora felt her cheeks flush.
"Oh…oh my god. Were you…?" she stuttered. Matt looked back at Tai, and then, suddenly realizing what was happening, turned bright red.
"Oh…I'm so sorry…I didn't mean to interrupt…" she stuttered, blushing furiously. Matt smiled weakly.
"Uh…it's alright…um…what do you need?" he asked. Sora smiled.
"You guys are gonna be late. We have to be at the Performance Hall in an hour." she said, looking down at her feet.
"Damn. Okay, thanks Sora, we'll be right down." Matt said, closing the door. Sora walked down the hall towards the lobby.
"Oh my god. They had sex." was all she could manage to mutter.

Matt and Tai arrived in the lobby shortly after. Though no one else noticed, Tai seemed to be limping. Just slightly. Sora, however, did notice, and forced back a laugh.
They arrived at the hall twenty minutes early, so Matt and Tai were looking at the instruments. Tai, however, felt the need to go to the bathroom before the show, and scurried off quickly.
"Hey Matt." Matt turned to see the lead singer of his old band smiling at him.
"Um…hi." he replied weakly.
"I hope you don't hate me." she said. Matt looked at her.
"Um…I don't even know your name. It's kind of hard to hate someone when you don't know their name." he replied. The girl laughed.
"Oh yeah. My name is Amy. Anyway, I meant I hope you don't hate me because I'm with your old band." she explained. Matt nodded.
"Oh. Well, I don't see why I should hate you." he replied. Amy smiled. Oh thank you Matt." she said. Before he could do anything, she had jumped him, and was now kissing him. He was too stunned to do anything.
So stunned that he didn't see Tai standing, tears falling down his cheeks.
