Well, here we are, chapter eleven. I will say, the Titanic movie scene was a good idea. I have decided to go with a scene from a movie that I just watched recently, however. I'll go ahead and say, its a scene from a movie called A Monster In Paris. Its animated, and it actually wasn't that bad. The song is called La Seine, and to me, it made this scene more romantic to hear it while typing and/or reading
Silver POV:
I cannot believe Gold had just forced me into performing at that place! I hadn't done a cabaret performance in quite some time. I didn't hate it, it was just that I wanted to see what else there was for me to do in the world. Then again, I guess it would be ok, just one more show. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad. There was one song I had already decided on, I was pretty good at singing this one in particular. The song was extremely romantic. I like romantic things and gestures, despite what others think about me. I had enjoyed having part of my history kept a secret from everyone, especially Gold. And yet, somehow he had roped me into performing. I was still pretty mad at him for that little scene he had caused earlier, but Fantina was someone who was close to me. I couldn't just blow her off like that. I actually didn't gave that big of a problem with performing, I had a problem with the fact that Gold was insistent on performing with me.
"Just let me go on stage with you?!" He pleaded. The sun had set by now and the cabaret bar had opened, as far as I knew, almost every seat had been filled. I was nervous enough as it is, the last thing I needed was Gold adding to that.
"Gold, unless you can sing, or play an instrument, you AREN'T going to perform with me!" I hissed.
"I CAN sing, that's what I'm trying to say!" He countered. To be honest, he really could sing. His voice was like honey. On top of that, he could play almost any instrument, I just wanted him to stay away from the stage. I was about to snap at him when I heard a knock at my dressing room door. I opened it to find Fantina standing there. She smiled at me and gave me a small hug.
"Oh, Silver, there are some people who wanted to see you up front." She told me once she had released me. She then sauntered off.
I turned around to face Gold, "I'm going to see who she was talking about. Do not make a sound." I instructed. I had been looking forward to performing this time. I had even put on the same outfit I had worn back when I was a full time cabaret performer. It was a white dress, tailored to have what looked like Togekiss wings on the shoulders. I remembered a time when people kept mistaking me for a girl. So I went along with the dress and even gave myself a name for when I was performing, Lucille. Isn't that an attractive name? I mostly came up with that so no one would ever be able to call me out by name. My good memories were destroyed when I saw who my visitors were
"Oh my god, it is Silver!" Blue exclaimed when she made eye contact with me. I wanted to scream, EVERYONE was here, Black was knocked out and slung over N's shoulder. I could see all of them desperately trying to contain laughter and their comments.
"No, no, its Lucille!" White clarified
"Oh god, no! Fantina told you my stage name?!" I cried
"Yep, she told us EVERYTHING. Don't worry Silvy, your secret is same with us. Just go out and put up a good show." Blue encouraged.
"Thanks for that. You guys are sitting up in the upper area right?" I asked. Blue nodded, I guess that was one good thing. At least they wouldn't be able to blow my cover and let everyone know my real name.
"Alright, go ahead and sit down, the show will be starting soon." I said. We went our separate ways. I was mumbling about how I never should've come along when I heard a guitar playing from my dressing room.
"Gold, what did I tell you about-?!" I started as I ran into the room. I was utterly shocked to see Fantina sitting in front of Gold and clapping her hands. She turned to me and smiled, then she came at me with open arms
"Oh Silver! This young man is a master on the guitar! He would be wonderful performing with you! His music and your singing will make cabaret history!" She yelled to the heavens ran for the door. She was mumbling something about telling the other musicians.
"Fantina, I really don't think that he needs to be included." I tried to convince her to take Gold off of the show. She just pushed me aside and ran down the hall. I slowly turned to Gold and grit my teeth
"What part about don't make a sound did you not understand?" I asked him. He responded by strumming quite the heavenly tune on the guitar. Well if it ain't peach pie Saturday, fuck my life.
Fantina came in a few moments later and told me to go ahead onto the stage. I stared at the small sliver of light coming through the gap in the curtains. I could see everyone who was attending, the place was packed. I had to put on a good show or else my reputation as a performer would be ruined. I heard Fantina start to give me my big intro. It was then that I realized that Gold was standing behind me, and dressed quite well at that. I suspected that the Hearthome city gym leader had helped him pick out the clothes.
"Gold, you have to get off the stage." I said. I heard Fantina bringing her introduction to a close, so I then tried to push against Gold, who was surprisingly strong (that or I was surprisingly weak) "Gold, MOVE!" I pleaded. Then the curtains parted, and I heard several gasps from the crowd. I also felt the gaze of my friends as they recognized Gold's face. This was so embarrassing! I needed to come up with a way to work out of this. Then I decided to take a chance with this next story
"Hello! Welcome, its so good to see you all out here tonight. We are delighted to introduce a new up and coming talent. The master of the guitar all the way from, Johto. Monsieur Pyrite!" I announced. I felt Gold look at me like I was crazy, but when I heard some people talking about whether this guy would be good or not, I decided to just keep going with the show.
"Go on, sit with the bad, you'll be fine." I told him, gesturing to three people on a balcony, one with a tuba, another with some sort of weird drum, and the last one with a violin. He walked over to the stairs leading to the balcony, and bumbled into the archway because of the guitar. He then turned to his side and tried to squeeze through and produced the worst possible screeching sound by doing so. I could actually see Zoroark's eyes roll back into its head and fall backwards. I looked to the crowd nervously. Well, its now or never...
Gold started strumming the guitar and to everyone's surprise, produced a tune so heavenly that it caught everyone's eye. The musicians themselves were surprised, and I was actually quite impressed. I finally was ready to sing, so that exactly what I started to do. I had already decided on a song, one of my favorites, it sounded romantic to me. Now all I could hope for was that I don't screw this up.
"She's resplendent. So confident. La Seine, La Seine, La Seine. I realize, I'm hypnotized." I sand
"La Seine, La Seine, La Seine." gold and I sang together. How did he know the song? I couldn't focus on that, I just had to keep singing
"I hear the moon, singing a tune. La Seine, La Seine, La Seine. Is she divine? Is it the wine? La Seine, La Seine, La Seine." Gold and I were seeing in unison now. It actually seemed to sound better that way. The music was live and upbeat, making the song just the same. I began to sing once again, feeling jovial for once in my life.
"I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why, that's how we are, La Seine and I. I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why, that's how we are, La Seine and I." Once again in perfect unison, Gold and I sang. What happened next shocked me, he jumped from the balcony onto the stage, and actually sang the right words to the song
"I feel alive, when I'm beside. La Seine, La Seine, La Seine. From this angle, like an angel. La Seine, La Seine, La Seine." He sang. His voice was so sweet and smooth, it was magical.
We sang together again, dancing with each other as if we were the only two there, " I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why, that's how we are, La Seine and I. I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why, that's how we are, La Seine and I." now, I can't tell if what happened next was real, or if I imagined it, but Gold and I literally became the only two people, we were standing on a bridge. We just kept singing and dancing.
"Upon the bridge..." I sang
"My heart does beat." Gold picked up
"Between the waves.." I continued
"We will be saved..." He sang
"The air we breathe..." It was drawing to a close
"Can you believe?" He continued
"Learn to forgive, upon the bridge..." We sang together. What happened next had to have been my imagination. We flew up from the bridge and danced in the sky, looking into each others eyes, it was pure bliss. I pictured Gold and I dancing atop the prism tower, with fireworks going off behind us. Bringing the song to its end.
"That's how we are, La Seine and I. That's how we are, La Seine and I. That's how we are, La Seine and I. That's how we are, La Seine and I." On the last part, my mind put me back in reality and we finished the dance. The applause we received was great. I noticed that Black was awake and cheering. It made me feel, good to receive this positive attention. I then looked into Gold's eyes and realized why I had fallen in love with him. His charisma, his looks, his voice, his talent. Everything about him was special, and he had chosen me. The person who deserved him the least. He cared about me, and that was what mattered. I love Gold, and this was the reason why. He is always willing to help me and would do anything for me. The one thing I wish I had known that night , was the fact that someone who would turn my love life on its head was in there that night...
I bet some of you guys were disappointed with this whole scene. I'm sorry. Its better if you listen to the song while you read it. The movie was sweet to me, and I thought that this scene had the best potential to be romantic. But tell me what you think. Bye bye
