-CHAPTER 8-
As they finally entered the stadium, and got to their places–which is surprisingly between each other, made the whole bonding of the girls very nice. It was pretty chilly, as it's an indoor stadium, and might be small. But it was honestly too spacious for its own. It was pretty chilly. But the warmth of excitement spreads as the 4 Mobians take their spots, like everyone else inside. Eagerly waiting for the program to start.
Luckily for them, their spots were a bit close, enough for them to enjoy the boy's performances up-close. And a great picture-taking spot. They all high fived and squealed, afterwards they then giggled. Still waiting.
"I'm so excited for this!" Cream squeals with excitement on her voice and was also written on her face. While holding 2 lightsticks, waving them in the air.
"Me too!" Sticks exclaimed in anticipation, gripping on the CH4OS merch on her hand, also waving it in the air.
Blaze and Amy on the other hand, cannot hide their excitement. But they were thrilled to see 2 of their friends–were much more excited than them. They both looked at each other, then smiled. Blaze takes out her camera, readying the set-up so it can be easier to take necessary pictures and videos. While Any, she stares at the empty stage in front of her, from multiple distances away.
Attending and watching them as Amy Rose, and not as Rosy The Rascal. I wonder how that feels? She asks herself, subconsciously.
"Mic check…Mic check..." A familiar feminine voice tested the microphone and audio. "Audio test... Audio test… Alright." It was their friend–Rouge. "Dear Emeralds, please take your spots fastly and quietly, the program will begin within 10 minutes. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation." After that, the fans immediately took their places and got their merches out as well. Highly-anticipating for the concert to begin.
"Wasn't that Rouge just now?" Sticks asks, she was also familiar with the voice.
"I think so? Yup." Blaze responds to the badger's question while setting up the equipment.
Creams just nod as a response.
While Amy? She was busy thinking of something else…
Her 3 friends stared at each other, and sighed heavily.
"Amy, We–"
"Boo." The voice from earlier scares them from behind.
They all got startled. It was enough to make Amy go back into reality. "Wah!" Sticks almost shouts, but Rouge luckily stops her on a hand on the top of her mouth. She tends to scream too loud. "Shhh. It's me geez." She smiles devilishly, and lets her go. "Your supposed scream can cause a sudden uproar. I'd tell you that."
Sticks rolls her eyes. "If you didn't scare us purposely, I wouldn't have."
Rouge chuckles. "Aww come on. Where's the fun in that? It's fun messing around with you girls, at least once in a while." She turns her attention to Amy. "When one in particular is in a very deep thought. I've actually noticed that from when I was on the stage earlier. Are you okay, Love?" She asks her friend, worryingly.
Amy glaces back at her, nodding to assure her. And then smiled. "Of course!" She giggles. "I was just thinking of the work left at the apartment." She lied. Was it a good idea for me to attend here as Amy? I really don't know…
Blaze stares at her intensely. "Didn't we talk about that hours ago? Stop thinking about work at least just now. Enjoy the rest of your time without thinking of anything else." She pats her shoulder lightly.
"While I'm here working, I'm somewhat enjoying it. I'm siding with the cat." The white bat agrees. "It's best to not think of something stressful, when you're here–with friends, enjoying a concert that is supposed to be a worry-free and stress-free event. Yet, with you looking like that." She cups Amy's cheeks. "It wouldn't be worry-free and stress-free as it's intended. Cheer up will you?"
Amy lets go of Rouge's hand in her cheeks. " I know…I know.." She sighs then looks at the others. "I'm sorry for worrying you all. I've been thinking about a lot of things lately. But, I'll try to enjoy this to the fullest! I'm with you girls afterall." She assures them with a thumbs up. And she receives smiles from them.
"Alrighty. Now that's finally good," Rouge approaches her, and gives her a hug. "Enjoy the rest of the concert. You'll love it." Then she goes towards the other 3, hugging them as well. "I have to go now. I still need to check on the boys. See you girls, enjoy the rest of the concert." Waving them goodbyes, they did the same. She goes back from where she came from.
"Like Ms. Rouge said a little while ago. Ms. Amy, stop worrying about other things." Cream says as she approaches her, holding her hand for comfort. Amy was moved by her adorable friend's small gesture. She was honestly touched.
I don't know what I'll do without these friends of mine. They're everything to me. She thought.
She smiles again, offering her the sense of reassurance. "Thanks for the concern once again, I'll try my best to enjoy this with you girls, without thinking about anything else."
Cream sends her a warm smile. She gives it back.
"The program will start in 30 seconds." A voice was heard again from the speakers–who was not Rouge this time, informed everyone inside. The fans cannot help but the squeal altogether. Neither were the 4 girls. Everyone inside was getting ready.
"This is it!" Amy half-screamed to the other 3. They could tell she was getting a hang of this. She was trying to enjoy this as herself.
"Yes! Finally!" Sticks screeches like a banshee, but was just honestly excited.
The stage that was all black, suddenly lights up. Background of a familiar song of the CH4OS suddenly ringed up into the entire stadium. A little while after, 4 familiar figures stepped into the huge stage from the middle. As if they had gotten into the stage by entering. The fans immediately screamed after.
"IT'S THEM! CH4OS!"
"CH4OS!"
"OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH EEEKK!"
Different screams from the fans were also heard, as they saw the boys they so know and love on the stage, and into the giant screen.
CH4OS, which consists of 4 boy members; Tails, Silver, Sonic, and Shadow, all waved at their fans from different angles. "Hello Station Square! Are you guys ready?!" Tails asked the crowd with excitement also visible in his voice.
They all shouted "Yes" as an answer. Tails smiled brightly, which made the fans scream even more.
"Well then, let's enjoy this evening!" Sonic announces.
"Let's all have a blast for the rest of this evening!" Silver follows.
As for Shadow? He didn't say anything, but only flashed a smile. In which, made the crowd even more loud.
They formed into a position, preparing for their first entry to the program, and it went flawlessly well.
After multiple dance and song numbers, they made lots of jokes and interaction amongst the fans. In which, they enjoyed. A lot. Afterwards, they took a little break to change.
Amy suddenly glances at her 3 best friends, who were busy doing their things; Blaze on the camera taking pictures and videos, Sticks busy screaming, and Cream waving her lightsticks with both of her hands in the air. Vibing with the music.
She stares at them with amusement and adoration. I'm happy that they're enjoying the concert, not as much as I do. She sighs internally, to avoid another concern to raise within her friends.
While in a thought, the boys return back to the stage with newer outfits, and instruments. It looks like they're going to play and sing something. That's new. She thought.
The stage also changed its appearance, from something too vibrant to very cool & chill. A whole drum set was also there.
"Are they going to play instruments? Wow." Sticks asks in awe.
"I do think so? This is absolutely new." Blaze couldn't hide her surprise and excitement for this new gig.
"We'll see." Amy only answered timidly.
Not again… They all thought of the same thing. I hope he does the thing we asked him earlier though… They all hoped he was the only one who could cheer her up. Fingers crossed.
"We're back! With instruments hehe.." Tails says while playing the keyboard momentarily to show the fans. "You guys wanna hear us cover a song?" He asked the fans, who were ultimately curious and still excited when they came back with instruments on stage. Once he heard a lengthy scream of "Yes", Tails gave the audiences a grin and a thumbs up.
"It's very unusual for us to carry out instruments on the stage, but it's fun to come up with something new. I hope you guys will like it!" Silver talks to the crowd as he sits, grabbing the drumsticks and spinning one stick around.
Shadow tries to play with the bass by tuning out the strings to his liking, which ultimately got a lot of squeals and screams from the fans.
Lastly, Sonic adjusted his earpiece and the headset microphone, and finally grabbed his guitar to start it all off. "Let's go!"
Silver starts it off by hitting his drumsticks together while counting "1…2…3…Go."
When the girls, when the girls talk
When the girls talk boys
Oh, when the girls, when the girls talk
When the girls talk boys
Hey!
The crowd roared more than it ever was. Tails began singing his part.
When you're talking to your girls,
Do you talk about me?
Do you say that I'm a sweetheart,
Do you say that I'm a freak?
Do you tell them white lies,
Do you tell them the truth?
Do you tell them that you love me
the way that I've been loving you?
He winked afterwards and laughed, Cream from afar was awestruck. He continues.
'Cause every night you and I find ourselves
Kissing and touching like no one else
Falling and falling until I fell
For you
It was Silver's turn, and he did his part effortlessly while playing the drums.
'Cause I've been talking to my friends
The way you take away my breath
It's something bigger than myself
It's something I don't understand, no, no
Blaze, who was busy taking necessary pictures and videos on the camera, suddenly stops when she sees him. She smiled.
I know we're young and people change
And we may never feel the same
So baby, tell me what you say
The boys sang together after.
When the girls, when the girls talk
When the girls talk boys (I can hear 'em talking)
Oh, when the girls (when the girls), when the girls talk
When the girls talk boys
Hey! (hey)
Sticks claps her hands at their charms and awesomeness. She was also in awe.
Amy could see her friends really enjoying it. She glances back at the stage. Staring at one particular hedgehog… Sonic… She stares at the big screen behind the stage, the attention was on him. He looked so cool…and charming. She can totally feel herself smiling at the sight she's staring.
When you're talking to your girls,
Do you talk about me?
Do you tell them I'm your lover,
that I'm all that you need?
Do you tell them white lies,
Do you tell them the truth?
He heads towards the nearest fans, just a little in front of the stage and waves at them. He sang again.
Do you tell them that you love me,
the way that I've been loving you?
Sonic saw a familiar pink shade of fur near the stage, and he finally found her. He looked towards her direction, and she noticed that he seemed to be looking for someone…Her gaze never left him. Until… They made eye contact. He has found her.
'Cause every night you and I find ourselves
Kissing and touching like no one else
Falling and falling until I fell
For you
Sonic winks and smiles at her, and continues playing on the guitar. He goes back with the boys in the middle of the stage, continuing the song. Her heart flutters. Did he just…?
It was Shadow's turn to sing.
'Cause I've been talking to my friends
The way you take away my breath
It's something bigger than myself
It's something I don't understand, no, no
I know we're young and people change
And we may never feel the same
So baby tell me what you say
Fans liked his voice and screamed even more while singing along.
She giggles at Sonic's actions. She can't forget what just happened a little while ago. Did I only notice that? She looked around, but everyone was just having fun and singing along with the song. So she sighs in relief. Oh Chaos. He's just… super extra. She laughed lightly and began clapping her hands together on the beat. She was starting to have fun. This wasn't a bad idea after all. It's not actually that bad.
The boys sang together after their lines
When the girls, when the girls talk
When the girls talk boys (I can hear 'em talking)
Oh, when the girls, when the girls talk
When the girls talk boys
talk talk talk talk
Talk talk talk talk (when the girls talk boys)
Talk talk talk talk (when the girls)
Talk talk talk talk
Hey!
The song finally ended, and the whole crowd within the arena cheered and applause.
"Thank you for singing along with us, we'll do another song for you." Silver announces and it got the crowd more hyped up. With that, they began another song number. And more, until it was finished. During the rest of the performance, the smile written on Amy's face never faded. She can only recall what happened earlier, she felt like she was on Cloud 9 whenever she thinks about it. And it remained that way until such time…
…
From above all the crowd–Knuckles can be seen staring at the big screen, watching the boy's performance from afar. He grinned at the major success of the concert. It was somewhat fun to say the least–at least on his record. More exposure and concerts, means more contracts and albums. He's living the best time of his life as CH4OS manager–
"Hey Knuckies, it seems you're enjoying the concert very well." –With her. The white feminine bat approaches him slowly, and stares at the crowd above them beside him.
He rolls his eyes. "What is this you want, this time?" He immediately cuts her to the chase.
She giggles at him. "That's very rude of you, not very gentlemanly of you. as if we're not co-workers? Geez. don't be too hard on me. Haven't I teached you a lesson about it? Or do you want–" He cuts her off, not letting her finish whatever she might say after.
He blushes a bit before protesting. "N-no thanks, I-I don't need to learn something from you w-woman."
"Aww. Are you stuttering? That's so cute of you~"
"Shut up!"
She laughs at his reaction but pats his shoulder. "I just want to honestly say that, good job for us. For participating in the planning and all. Our entire month's schedule was in vain because of this concert. But all efforts and time were not wasted." She glances at the big screen.
Knuckles stares at her for a good minute, then gazes back to the stage. "You're right. A job well done for this successful event." He smiles a little. Rouge saw this at the corner of her eyes, and smiled secretly. She saw a familiar pink hedgehog not so far from where they were. She immediately recognized it. "Wait, isn't that Amy there?" trying to change up the topic, she points her finger out.
His attention darted to the direction Rouge points. He also recognized the pink hedgehog. "Yeah it's her. Is she alone or with the others?" He was also friends with Amy and the other girls, the boys were also their friends–basically in the same friend group.
"She's with Sticks, Cream, and Blaze. I checked them out earlier before the concert started." She stares intensely at the pink figure, and sees her reaction. It looked like she was so deeply in adoration. "Aww. Would you look at that, it seems our Rose is completely whipped with the Blue Blur."
Knuckles looks properly at Amy from afar out of curiosity. "She does look like she's having fun."
It was Rouge's turn to roll her eyes. "Of course she does. But that's not the point." She facepalmed. "Why am I talking to you about this thing? You obviously don't know anything about romance."
"Know nothing about romance? Ha!" He said mockingly. "Jokes on you."
"For someone as dense as you? I don't think so." She approaches him a little close, dangerously close.
"H-hey, knock it off you cunning bat! I-I know what y-you're going to d-do—"
They were inches apart from kissing, Knuckles was prepared for what comes after. He closed his eyes, but then…He felt something painful on his forehead. He opens his eyes immediately, he got flicked on the forehead.
"H-hey! What was that for?!" He angrily exclaimed while putting a hand on his forehead.
"Heh. That's what you get. Dream on." She sticks her tongue out before fleeing away. "Buh-bye~"
"H-hey!" Knuckles says loudly, but sighs in defeat. Goes back into watching the rest of the show with a smile.
While flying, she saw him smile again. And she grins in exchange.
