Gokudera sighs.
"Can't he wait?" He hiccups. "Shit." The silver haired teen downs the rest of his drink. "What are you going to be doing?"
Phoenix frowns at Gokudera's empty cup.
"Hey Harrier, no more for him either." Phoenix turns back to Gokudera. "Nothing much, just singing a few songs. Don't worry."
"Hell no!" Gokudera turns to Harrier. "Keep 'em coming!" He looks at Phoenix with a confused look on his face. "Wait, you're singing!" His confusion grows as Phoenix pecks him on the lips and gives him a quick hug before making her way to the stage where Raven and three other people are waiting. The silver-haired teen grabs a nearby drink, not caring whose it is and downs it before sitting at the bar again. "This should be interesting."
Phoenix and her band mates nod to each other and after a few minutes Aydan steps up to the microphone. Slow music fills the room as Phoenix closes her eyes and begins to sing.
"What if I told you it was all meant to be?Would you believe me, would you agree?It's almost that feeling, we've met before.So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy.When I tell you, love has come here and now.For a moment like this.Some people wait a lifetime. For a moment like this. Some people search forever. For that one special kiss. Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this. Everything changes but beauty remains. Something so tender, I can't explain. Well I may be dreaming, but till I awake. Can't we make this dream last forever. And I'll cherish all the love we share"
Gokudera slowly lowers his drink as Phoenix sings, his eyes widening as her voice becomes louder and more dynamic.
"She look so…alive…"
Gokudera thinks as Phoenix allows the music to take her.
"A moment like this. Some people wait a lifetime. For a moment like this. Some people search forever. For that one special kiss. Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this. Could this be the greatest love of all. I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall. So let me tell you this. Some people wait a lifetime. For a moment like this." The redhead opens her eyes and finds Gokudera in the crowed, giving him the smile he loves the most. Gokudera grins as she smiles at him and mouths 'I love you' to her. "Some people wait a lifetime. For a moment like this. Some people search forever. For that one special kiss. Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this. Oh, like this. Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this. Oh, like this"
Gokudera feels goose bumps on his arms as Phoenix hit the high notes.
"Jesus."
The music fades out but Phoenix doesn't open her eyes and stays at the microphone. Gokudera assumes Phoenix is done so he turns back to the bar and waits for her to walk back over to him but Phoenix has no intention of doing this.
"Hey Boss! I probably should have warned you before taking this gig. We don't really do slow songs." Phoenix nods to Raven and shoulders an electric guitar as Raven plays a beat out on the drum. As the beat progresses Phoenix begins to play the guitar and begins to sing again "Always see it on T.V.Or read in a magazines.Celebrities want sympathy. All they do is piss and moan. Inside the rolling stone. Talkin' about how hard life can be. I'd like to see them spend a week. Livin' life out on the street. I don't think they would survive. If they could spend a day or two. Walking in someone else's shoes. I think they'd stumble and they fall" Phoenix's movements become more animated as she plays, a huge smile clear on her face. "Lifestyles of the rich and the famous. They're always complainin'. If money is such a problem. Well they got mansions. Think we should rob them. Well did you know when you were famous you could kill your wife. And there's no such thing as 25 to life. As long as you've got the cash, to pay for Cochran. And did you know if you were caught and you were smokin' crack. McDonalds wouldn't even want to take you back. You could always just run for mayor of D.C."
Gokudera spits the alcohol from his mouth and slam his glass down at the upbeat music plays, quickly turning around and watching Phoenix rock out on stage.
"What the fuck is she doing? That asshole is going to throw such a fit." As Gokudera watches Phoenix on stage, he notices that she seems to be having actual fun and the silver-haired teen has to smile.
"That's my girl."
"I'd like to see them spend a week. Livin' life out on the street. I don't think they would survive. If they could spend a day or two. Walking in someone else's shoes. I think they'd stumble and they fall. "Phoenix's fingers dance across the cords and she looks genuinely happy as she sings along with her band. "Lifestyles of the rich and the famous. They're always complainin'. If money is such a problem. Well they got mansions. Think we should rob them." The crowed begins to become infected by the mood the band is giving off and begin to dance along. "Lifestyles of the rich and the famous. They're always complainin'. If money is such a problem. You got so many problems. Think I could solve them. Lifestyles of the rich and famous. We'll take your clothes, cash, cars, and homes just stop complainin'. Lifestyles of the rich and famous. Lifestyles of the rich and famous. Lifestyles of the rich and famous"
Phoenix allows the song to end and receives a loud cheer from the people attending the Gala. She smiles widely and bows slightly before finding Gokudera by the bar. She smiles as she sees he is looking at her proudly and motions for him to come up on stage.
