Divine Diva
Chapter 5
The Concert
Special thanks to Eeveexme for the songs.
This chapter is really crappy. Anyway, the real story will start after Sinnoh Idol so please, just please, wait patiently…. Please?
There is going to be a lot of songs here but I hope you don't mind. Please? You can just skip the songs anyway.
Also I decided to put only one group song here, Just pretend that they sang three.
The Songs Used: magician's operation (kradness), Iroha Uta (clear), Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story (Ashe), Crescent Moon (KAITO), Just the way you are (Bruno Mars), Angel with a shotgun (the cab)
Dawn and her friends went shopping. There were few people recognizing them. "So this is how it feels like to be recognized." Misty said as she giggled. "Fills great, doesn't it?" May asked, walking confidently and accidently falling over. "Are you feeling great?" Zoey asked with a snicker as she helped her friend up. "I'm fine. Just bit excited?" May said with a sweet smile. "Let's go eat something, I'm starving." Leaf said as they passed by the electronic shop. "Yeah, I wanna eat some nachos. And I need them quick!" Marina skipped to the food court.
The rehearsal was over and BLACK ROCK SHOOTER were sitting on their waiting room, playing cell phone games or just being boys. "The song that idiot wrote for me, I don't like it." Paul said, doing the monster cube. "I liked it. Someday you will sing that for a serenade for the girl you love." Gary said and Paul rolled his eyes. "If you haven't wrote that stupid song I would force you to sing it for me." Paul said. "Whatever. The girls out there will go crazy if you sing that song." Gary said. "See, I don't make them go crazy. I want my fans to be sane." Paul grumbled as he returned to his cube. "They will definitely see another side of grumpy Paul." Gary snickered.
Drew was humming the song he was going to sing. "It feels weird to sing without my guitar." He said. "That song is definitely not for guitar." Ash said. "What you are going to sing with again, oh yeah, shotgun?" Ash frowned, "Hey! It's just a model. Not a real one." Ash protested. "Imagine Ashie boy with a shotgun. It doesn't match up in my head." Jimmy said. "Yeah he would go better with tacos." Gary said. "I agree with that. Speaking of which, I want some tacos." Ash said, licking his lips.
The girls ate hamburgers, nachos, and tacos and chatted about the concert. "You know what? This is my first time to go to concert." Dawn said. "Ooh, concert is pretty fun! And lots of people are there too!" Marina said. Dawn flinched at the word, 'a lot of people'. "Yeah, you don't look crazy when you cheer for the singers you like." Leaf added. "I didn't know you like BLACK ROCK SHOOTER." May said. "Well, I like Drew." Leaf said with a small smile. "Drew's everyone's favorite." Marina added. "Is he? I liked that brunette better." May said. "Gary Oak? He's a playboy." May shrugged. Dawn remained silent since he hardly knew about them. "I'm pretty excited for this one because it's the first they are having for their solo songs."
The time for the concert came and the girls entered the dome and went to their seat. For some reason Adelheit gave them the tickets for the very front row. "Cool!" The girls sat there, excited, and May dug into some popcorns. "Where did you get that?" Leaf asked. "Ou theah." May said, her mouth full of popcorns. "Never mind." Leaf said and looked up at the stage. Dawn looked around side to side, people were everywhere. She felt like throwing up but held it down, 'I can get used to it. I can...'
"Let's see, the BLACK ROCK SHOOTER is the last. We have Adelheit for the first and some other band then BLACK ROCK SHOOTER." Dawn said. "Cool!" "Awesome!"
The MC went up the stage, he looked at the crowd and bowed. "Hello everyone! Are you excited?" 'Yes' filled the hall. "Yes, I am excited as well. I will just go with the concert, hope you don't get bored. And here is our all time favorite pop star, Adelheit! With her new songs." The MC exited and Adelheit, flipping her long black hair stepped onto the stage, waving at the audience. She glanced down at the girls and smiled. The girls smiled back.
The boys watched the Paul's aunt singing on the stage on the TV. "She's all time pop star, we are all time band." Ash said. "What does that even mean?" Drew asked. "Just, ignore it." Ash said, as he watched Adelheit singing. "Excuse me." Paul said as he walked out of the door. "Where are you going?" Gary asked but no answer came back. "Meanie." Gary pouted and went back to reading the lyrics.
Dawn excused herself and went to the bathroom. The songs were too loud, making her head hurt and there were just too many people. She felt like throwing up but she didn't. She washed her face, stared at herself in the mirror. "Dawn, that was a decade ago." She told herself and walked out of the bathroom. She bumped into someone, "I'm so sorry." She said and looked up. Paul Shinji. He was looking down at her, not seeming to be in a good mood, but she never saw him in good mood so far on TV. "Oh, um, sorry." Dawn said as she backed up and quickly ran back to her friends. Paul stared at her back and went into the bathroom.
Dawn quickly sat down. May, who was next to her was cheering like a maniac, "I saw Paul Shinji there." Dawn whispered to May. May stopped cheering and looked at her friend, "Seriously?" Dawn nodded and looked up at the stage. The only resemblance there was with Adelheit and Paul was probably coal black eyes. But Paul's was cold but Adelheit's was filled with happiness. Dawn thought of image in her head, Paul…. She blushed a bit and turned her attention back to Adelheit.
Paul returned to his room. "What took you so long?" Gary asked. "None of your business." Paul answered and sat down, returning to the cube. "Aren't you going to practice?" Gary asked. "Our turn is about 40 minutes later. No need to rush." Paul answered coldly." While the others were practicing Paul focused on the cube and did some last minute practice.
The MC announced that BLACK ROCK SHOOTER is going to sing, making some fan girls go crazy. The members' names were filling the auditorium as the girls shrieked and screamed. "The first up is Gary, our favorite playboy with his new song that he wrote himself!" The music silently started to play as the stage went dark and the MC stepped down from the stage. The music started to get loud as Gary stepped onto the stage, earning the spotlight all for himself, the crowd went crazy. He winked at the audiences and started singing.
"If it is what you desire, I can be like an obedient dog. With a cord, a rope, or a chain. I will let you tie me up."
"Or if you prefer, I can be like a kitten." He purred a little, "I shall endearingly, with my fingers, feet, and lips, indulge you." The crowd cheered as if they wanted it.
"Whoever indulges their passion first, such things do not matter."
"The colors come out like scatter paint, no one can be at their zenith eternally. I want to know more and more profoundly. Today I overcome the transient world without superficial dreaming or intoxication. Let me stain in your colors although it will eventually fade, no matter how fragrant."
Dawn thought these fan girls must be a bit crazy.
"I can be like a camellia flower. With blossoms in the winter with rain or frost on my body, let me display myself for you."
"Or if you prefer splendid rose, and want to see it on the verge of falling. With fragrances on the neck and hair, I will be wrapped in the scent of death."
"I have yet to be stained to the bone, with just that much, it is not satisfying."
"The colors come out like a scattered paint, no one can be at their zenith eternally. I want to know more and more profoundly."
"Today I overcome the transient world without superficial dreaming or intoxication I shall change myself for your sake….. Ah….."
Interlude
"The colors come out like a scattered paint. No one can be at their zenith eternally. I want to know more and more profoundly.
"Today I overcome the transient world without superficial dreaming or intoxication. Let me fall into the abyss together with you, whilst fragrant, even if all the way to the bottom!"
He winked at his fan girls and when the music was over, "Hello. Gary Oak here. This is my first solo song and I'm pretty glad that I wrote it by myself, thanks to this lady I saw few weeks ago." Gary looked down, spotted her and smiled. "Anyways, this song's title is Iroha Song. Hoped you all liked it, this will be released soon so don't worry about it. Next is my dear friend Drew, also with new single song. Let's meet him!" Gary exited the stage as the hard beating music filled the hall. "That's the song!" Marina squealed as Drew came up the stage, he stood in the center of the stage, his head facing down, his hand with mike was on his head and he tapped his foot according to the rhythm.
"You don't have to be RIP for this to proceed." Drew sang into the mike, still looking down.
"Time is too precious to spend it in anguish."
"If you can be saved, I want to do it.
"If I can save you, I will do it at all costs."
He looked up, looking at the crowd as they erupted,
"Please fall under this magic
Don't decay away, revive yourself once more.
Don't give up and say, 'I have no future.'
Just realize the hidden, sleeping powder in you!"
He walked closer to the crowd,
"Please expose the trick. Don't fall in, pull through
Don't stop doubting, just unleash that power in you."
Interlude, he started to dance, moving swiftly around, putting his hand on the hat often. Dawn saw some girls crying a little, she couldn't understand.
"I try to relinquish my own project." He moved some more.
"All my efforts and in vain and transform into powerlessness." He walked closer to the audience.
"Without a volition, we'll see no effect. I can keep saving you, but then there'd be no end."
"Please evade that hallucination, dispel all those idle thoughts interfering you. Remember the impulse from that day, and direct it into this precise moment.
"Please discover the trap, undo it before you can't slip out of it. Trash it into total disrepair
"Don't fill everything around you with despair."
Dawn felt something in her heart and glared up at the green haired singer. She bit her lips. She felt like she was back in that day.
Drew stayed still as the interlude went on, his hand both down this time.
He looked up, "The magician's operation continues.
More pain and mortification than ever imagined.
Unforgettable, never to be forgotten.
It's not even as if it were error-free.
Cast unawares, an Auto-Self-curse.
Shake it off by plunging into magician's operation!"
Another interlude, he looked up, smirked,
"Take control of your body
With all your might
Sharpen your heart
Bet everything on this."
His voice became more powerful and fast, "May this sorcery work. This corrosion stealing you away, I command you to cease. With the very last one, to the bitter end,
Blast all the bad things away.
Please, magic, take effect,
I beg of you, please, open your eyes, Cast your magic on me again, and invoke your capabilities."
He looked down, "Take that power and unleash it…. Unleash it." The song ended and the crowd cheered and cried out Drew's name. "We love you Drew!" Someone yelled and Dawn rolled her eyes.
Drew waved at the crowd, "This song is magician's operation. I hope you enjoyed it and next up is Jimmy! The one with the keyboard. Well, here he comes!"
Jimmy was without his ordinary hat this time and started to sing
"Oh her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining.
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying.
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day." Jimmy winked toward the crowds
"Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me 'Do I look okay?' I say" Jimmy looked down as if he was shy. He saw Marina, mistook her for his ex-girlfriend. But continued to sing
"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you are amazing
Just the way you are." He smiled and the crowd cheered.
"And when you smile
The whole world stops are stares for a while.
Cause girl you are amazing
Just the way you are." Jimmy smiled and looked down to see if Marina was really his ex but there just weren't enough time.
"Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday."
"Oh you know you know you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same." He winked at the crowd.
"So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I say~"
"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are" He glanced down but as usual, it was too dark to determine who she was.
"And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are."
He walked closer to the crowd
"The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are."
He walked closer, his fans cheered but today, he couldn't hear it.
"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are."
He took a deep breath and stepped down of the stage, the crowd cheered at his action.
He walked slowly toward Marina, he realized that she wasn't Leah, his ex but he decided to make this a special day for the girl who resembles Leah.
He held Marina's hand, who blushed furiously, "And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are. Yeah!"
Marina flushed when Jimmy kissed the back of her hand. It was all shown on the big screen and his fans screamed and shrieked.
Jimmy headed back up the stage. "Just the way you are, that's the song. Hoped you all like it," He winked at Marina. "And next up is Ash, our one and only drummer so please welcome him!"
Jimmy smiled, exited the stage and came up the raven haired boy with a goofy smile on his face. But it soon faded as the fake shotgun was on his hand. He looked at Jimmy weirdly but decided to shrug it off.
He stood in the center and the song came out, he didn't sing the first few parts, which meant that he recorded it before,
"(I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun,
An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun..)
He smiled and started singing, "Get your guns, battle's begun. Are you a saint or a sinner?
If love's a fight, then I shall die, with my heart on a trigger.
They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for" He waved at the crowd.
"Well baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need, a soldier I will be."
He jumped high up in the air, showing his 'gun' to the crowd, "I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting til' the wars won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I will throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you are everything I have?
And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight."
"Sometimes to win, you've got to sin, don't mean I'm not a believer. And major Tom, will sing along. Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer."
"They say before you start a war you better know what you're fighting for. Well baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need, a soldier I will be!" Ash winked and saluted slightly at his fans, cheering for him
"I'm an angel with a shotgun fighting till the war's won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back. I will throw away my faith, babe just to keep you safe. Don't you know you are everything I have? And I, wanna live not just survive, tonight."
"Oooooohhhh, ooooohhhhh whoa whoa, ooooh whoa"
The crowd clapped a bit.
The music became quiet along with Ash's voice, "I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting till the wars won… I don't care if heaven won't take me back…"
He became loud again, "I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting till the wars won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back. I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe, Don't you know you're everything I have? (I'm an angel with a shotgun) …and I, want to live not just survive, tonight. (Live, not just survive)."
"….and I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight."
"They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Well baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need, a soldier I will be." He said as he pretend to shot invisible enemies.
Ash's fans called out his name and cheered for the raven haired boy. Ash smiled and waved his hand. "Hello everyone. I am Ash Ketchum, the drummer, you know. Well did you like it?" He asked and 'yes' came from everywhere. "I am glad you did." Ash sighed in relief. "Well, this time our favorite Mr. Grumpy is going to sing." Ash eyed the entrance of the stage, hoping that Paul wouldn't jump out and strangle him. "Well before Mr. Grumpy would punch me, I am leaving." Ash said as he hurried down the stage and Paul entered, glaring at the raven haired boy and walked up to the center.
Soft Asian music played, it seriously didn't matched Paul's image but Dawn guessed that it was his voice that matched.
"Dimly illuminating the wooden platform of the stage
I played notes on the parquetry.
The beautiful crescent moon disappears into the clouds and I don't have an umbrella."
Although his scowling face didn't matched the song when Dawn closed her eyes it sounded so wonderful, his voice suited into the song like it was part of the music.
Music became stronger,
"Morning comes, as if it were thawing of spring.
If our frozen love someday flows hot,"
"Then I'll embrace you in the endless rain
If you are searching for your answer,
Then I will somehow whisper to you with my unchanging voice,
And at the very least, I'll wrap up your broken heart."
Paul glanced down at the crowd and saw the girl he bumped into. Not that he care of but his aunt seemed to be very fond of her.
"My waning feeling having at last grown in size with all the secrets.
Saying once again, 'Don't change'
And breaking up the rouge on my cheek"
"But the rain, continuing to fall, at last washed it away,
As if it were a brilliantly coloured
Camellia flower in the snow."
"If I someday awaken from this transient dream,
I would search for you, I wonder where I'd head to.
The modest wish I've made, the scenery I look out on, it seems I'm forgetting them."
"Far off into the distance, you leave me, that is very fleeting.
The past, the present, If I trust in them all~"
Paul looked up, his arm down on his side. The fans couldn't cheer like they did previously because of the music was not the kind that would invite cheering.
Paul sang into the mike, "Then I'll embrace you in the endless rain.
If you are searching for your answer, then on the crimson dyed petals of the snow camellias,
I'll entrust tonight and keep giving in to this temptation."
(A/N I don't own the translation and the lyrics seemed not to make much sense but it is a beautiful song)
Paul didn't say anything and left the stage. The MC came back to stage and explained that they will come back with the whole band set. "I'm leaving." Dawn said. "What? Why?" May stopped the blunette from leaving but Dawn insisted. "I don't want to stay here. I want to be somewhere alone." She said. May let go of her. "Okay. You sure you don't want me to tag along?" Dawn shook her head. "It's November, remember?" May smiled a little, "It rhymes. It's supposed to be funny but, I will see you at the dorm." May said and Dawn walked out.
Dawn walked out of the hall and trotted down the quiet, silent, empty hallway. This was just she would want it to be. She hated crowded places. She did like the songs, especially the one Paul Shinji sang. She wished to stay longer but that was enough. She sighed as she walked and heard another footstep. She turned around and saw Drew and Paul. "Hi there." Drew said. Dawn thought to herself not to stare and waved back. "You are the one who sings, right? Divine Diva, right?" Drew asked, walking toward her. If Marina was here she would faint.
"Yes." She answered simply. She glanced at Paul, who was just looking down at her. "You were good. And so were your friends. Where are they anyway?" Drew asked again. "They are at the hall. I was leaving." Dawn answered. "Why? Was our songs that horrible?" Drew acted like he got hurt from her words. "No. I just hate crowded places. It's amazing that I survived this long." Dawn answered. Drew raised his brow, "Usually when I talk to girls they would shriek, blush and hide their face. You are not." He said. Dawn shrugged. "No offense but I am not your fan. My friends are." Dawn said. Drew nodded, understandingly. "Don't you have a concert to sing?" Dawn asked. "That's 5 minutes from now. You are Dawn, right?" Dawn nodded. Drew held out his hand, "Your phone." She took her phone out, unlocked it and handed it to him. He tapped the screen few times. "That's my number. Call me if you want to."
Dawn nodded and walked away. When She was out of the sight Paul smacked Drew's head. "What?" Drew said, angrily. "What was that for?" Drew said, the two walked to the waiting room. "Well, don't get too close to her." Paul said, his hands in his pockets. "Why so? Jealous?" Paul growled and scowled at his friend. "No. Adelheit is trying to make them top singers. I have feeling that they will be the ones opposing us." Paul said. Drew looked at his friend like he was crazy, "Whatever. They were good singers though. Unlike you, I want to befriend them." rerew said and Paul didn't answer.
Marina noticed that the blunette was gone. "Where's Dawn?"
"She left."
"Why so?"
"She hates crowded place." May answered.
"And it's November." Zoey added and earned a glare from May. For some reason Dawn never told her friends why she hated November so much. And May and Zoey shushed them whenever they brought up the subject, nor they would tell them about it. "Okay." Marina said and cheered as BLACK ROCK SHOOTER stepped onto the stage. Ash sat behind the drums, Jimmy had keyboards. Marina blushed at the sight of him. Drew and Paul picked up guitar, Gary picked up the base. Drew adjusted the mike.
"Hello ladies, and very few gentlemen. Are you ready for us to sing? It was probably boring to see us not together, right?" Drew asked with a smirk. 'Yes' filled the hall. "Although I think my song was the best." Drew said, earning glares from the other members. "Okay…. This is our relatively new song." Drew eyed Jimmy, who started to play with very soft music. "Ooh…." Drew sang
(A/N lyrics belongs to Ashe)
The music then became loud and powerful. The members were all playing the instruments.
Drew started, "Once upon a time and a place alone. Lived a boy forgot and left all alone.
No one knew, what he could do, or of this fairytale." The crowds were singing along with them.
Gary followed, "Probably since before the day I was born. Call it fate but I was drowned with scorn.
No one tried to be on my side so I turned the other cheek."
Jimmy sang, "I can't help my feeling sad. Thought I guess it ain't too bad."
Drew whispered, "Calling from the setting sun."
All five sang, "Took my hand and flew away."
Drew sang, "Tell me why, tell me why no one ever tells me why.
Why they hate me and despise me when I haven't done a thing."
Paul sang, "In the rain all I feel is this never ending chill."
All five, "But a trillion trillion trillion years had left me freezing cold."
Gary, "Can I die? Can I die? I'm just waiting 'till I die."
Jimmy, "Never dreamed a single dream so kind in my entire life."
Ash, "No one knew, even cared for this fleeting fairy tale."
All five shouted into the mike, "Then it slipped into the seething sun and soon it sailed away."
The crowd cheered and Zoey thought that it was pretty good. 'Wonder who wrote it?'
Ash started the second verse, "All this time it bore right down to the core.
All the pain had torn and left me sore.
Right behind you had all this time been watching from my side"
Paul sang, "Cannot look or hear or speak to me.
But you did 'Your name, will you tell me it please?'
I can't give and I wish I did
But I just don't have the tongue."
Drew sang, "Crave a home I've never had.
Though I guess it ain't too bad.
'Let's just leave and go back home'
Take my hand and fly away."
The five sang into the mike, "Tell me why, tell me why, no one ever tells me why."
Gary sang, "Why you think you're just a kid when you can do so many things."
Jimmy sang, "On my own never known of this light leading me home."
The five sang, "But a trillion trillion trillion years had taught me I'm alone."
Drew asked, "Can I try? Can I try? 'Never know until I try.'"
Paul sang, "But they will kill you if they see you trying now to save my life."
All five sang, "In the rain all we feel is this never ending chill. But we'll slip into the seething sun and soon we'll sail away."
Interlude came as the crowd cheered, May cheered as well. 'Wish Dawn was here.' She thought but now she just hoped that she had tagged along. She thought about going after her but it was too late and she knew it.
Ash sang, "Day is done now and soon the dawn will break.
Play 'till we drop so that we'll never have to wake."
Drew sang, "What if this place was made of only me and you?"
Gary sang, "If just the world and everyone would all go away"
All five repeated, "If just the world and everyone would all go away!"
Drew whispered, "Tell me why, tell me why, a small voice will tell me why."
The 5 all sang, "No it's not the voice of you or I but ALL MAN KIND."
Gary sang, "Can't resist we'll be missed that's a lie but I insist.
Then we'll slip into the seething sun and soon we'll sail away."
Pal sang, "Tell me why tell me why
Though you answer to me 'why?'"
Jimmy sang with a smile, "What's your name and where're we going? But hell that's the fun of life!"
All five sang, "In the rain I don't care just as long as you are there.
Cuz a trillion trillion trillion years had left me thinking clear."
Drew whispered, "Tell me why, tell me dear
There's a ringing in my ear…."
The five shouted, "Then we slipped into the seething sun and finally sailed away!"
The crowd cheered.
Half an hour later
The concert was over. May checked her phone, 10 and half. She called Dawn to check if she safely arrived. "Hello?" A soft voice answered, "Dawn! You are at dorm, right?" May asked. "Yeah, I was just watching some movies." Dawn answered. "We will be there in about an hour. The concert is now over. Just wait, okay?" May said. "Okay." Dawn answered and May ended the call. "Is Dawn in the dorm?" Zoey asked. "Yeah. No need to worry!" May copied Dawn's catch phrase and smiled.
Dawn looked up from the TV when the call ended. It was a nice movie and stuff, but Dawn wanted to do something else. What else she could do now? Pick out the next song, study or got to sleep. She decided to look for a new song and pulled out her cell phone to go through the music list. She sighed and looked at the dorm room. The room was dark, she felt a sudden chill and crawled into the bed. She took a deep breath and exhaled, no need to worry.
Crappy chapter and I'm sorry.
This chapter wasn't really planned.
Anyway, please review!
Please? With the cherry on the top?
Please?
