Here is the much awaited sequel to the story,'The Wishing Lake.' I know many of you're not satisfied with the ending of that story and that is the reason why here is a sequel! So, welcome to "Remember Us!"
Prologue...
2 years later...
...
Ash was sitting on his chair, listening to the patient sitting in front of him.
Scribbling something on his notepad, he said,"Take these medicines twice a day, for two weeks. You will be fine after that. If the problem persists, visit me sooner."
The patient nodded and left the cabin. Ash picked up the telephone and dialled a number.
"Bring me a cup of coffee," he said and put the phone down.
He sighed. His table was filled with documents, with two or three important files lying open. Picking it up, he placed them on a nearby shelf and made his table more presentable.
A warden arrived with his coffee and placed it on the table. Then seeing him busy, picked up six more coffee mugs Ash had finished in the previous few hours.
"Too much of coffee is not good for health sir!" The warden said. Ash sighed and sat on his chair, picking up the cup,"I know, it can cause stomach ulcer."
The warden laughed,"I don't know that much but it is surely not good for health." Ash gave him a smile,"Gray, if I don't take coffee, I will collapse."
"Then you should stop pushing yourself so hard," Gray said as he cleaned the coffee stains on the table. Ash saw him picking up a photo frame which had disappeared into the heap of files.
"I just can't," Ash trailed off. Gray softly said,"I know you're doing this so that you don't get time to think about Madam."
Ash gave a small laugh,"You really know me well." Gray smiled,"I have been serving you since the day I joined Sir. Of course I know you."
Ash signalled Gray to leave as he had to pick up an important call.
"Yes May?" He asked.
"Ash, we need to go to Goldenrod City the day after tomorrow. I have a meeting and our head is also going with us. Since his personal doctor is absent, I said you can come along," May explained.
"But..."
"No buts or ifs or whatever, you're coming with us. Moreover I am going to interrogate Zoya Benio! You can meet her after the interview will be over! I know you love her songs," May said, trying to convince him.
Ash sighed,"I love her songs as her voice reminds me of.."
"Dawn.." They both said together.
...
A girl in her early twenties took a deep breath and put on a headphone. Signaling she was ready, she crooked her head sideways. She knew she had to rock the stage.
The curtain slowly opened and the girl resisted her urge to close her eyes to adjust herself to the blinding light.
"Welcome folks! We all have gathered here to witness a live performance by the one and only, Zoya Benio!"
"Hello Kalos! It is my pleasure to meet you all!" The girl cheerfully said in her microphone and the spotlight fell on her, giving her knee length white sparkling dress a dazzling hue. Her hair was free from all sort of ribbons and clip and reached her waist. She had brown hairs with tint of blue at the edges, her eyes were sparkling emerald green. She signalled for the music to start.
She was given the world
So much that she couldn't see
And she needed someone to show her,
Who she could be.
And she tried to survive
Wearing her heart on her sleeve
But I needed you to believe
The girl threw her hands in the air as if aiming to catch the sky. Then swaying her hips in sync with the music, she sang the next verse.
You had your dreams, I had mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn't find,
When two different worlds collide.
La dee da dee da
Different helping artists made their grand entrance on the stage and began to dance in sync with the lead singer. The lead singer, was in the middle, surrounded by various junior artists who were all dressed alike in white dresses.
She was scared of it all
Watching from far away.
She was given a role
Never knew just when to play.
And she tried to survive
Living her life on her own
Always afraid of the throne
But you've given me strength to find home.
You had your dreams, I had mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn't find,
When two different worlds collide.
Her voice became hoarse and heavy, as if she was putting all her emotions in that song.
She was scared
Unprepared.
Lost in the dark.
Falling Apart,
I can survive,
With you by my side.
We're gonna be alright.
This is what happens
When two worlds collide.
She threw her head up like a proud bird and using her left hand made signs which once pointed to herself then the audience. The audience erupted in cheer in hearing the bridge part.
You had your dreams, I had mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You show me what I couldn't find,
When two different worlds collide.
La dee da dee da
You had your dreams, I had mine.
You had your fears, I was fine.
You showed me what I couldn't find,
When two different worlds collide.
When two different worlds collide.
"So Kalos! Our world collided here!" The singer smiled and went near the edges. Smirking, she asked,"Well, I guess I can give you another song!"
The whole audience gave wolf whistles and some were shouting for more. The girl said,"Do you want another song?''
The audience shouted yes and she laughed,"Couldn't hear you all, repeat again!"
She out a hand on her ear and smiled innocently at the audience.
"Another song? All right!" She signaled something to her teammates and then turned back to the audience,"Lets go!"
Ooh, all the rhythm takes you over
Takes you to a different place
A different space
Ooh, the smoke is getting closer
I can feel our young blood race
Through cityscapes
Swaying her hips in sync with the tune, she elegantly walked to and fro on the stage.
And everybody wants to be touched
Everybody wants to get some
But don't you play a song about love
When I move my body
I don't have to talk about none
Let the chemicals do it's stuff
'Til the energy is too much
She paused for a dramatic effect. She saw the waiting face of the audience and smiled.
Yeah all I need
Is the rhythm, me and the rhythm
Nothing between
Yeah the rhythm, me and the rhythm
And I know, I know, I know
I can't fight it
I won't, I won't, I won't
Deny it
I know, I know, I know
I'd be lying
If I said I didn't need
Yeah the rhythm, me and the rhythm
As if she was intoxicated, she ran her hand through her neck seductively, her eyes closed to enjoy the music.
Ooh, I start to feel it now
Feeling like I'm truly free
I'm free in me
Ooh, the heat's a common ground
No matter what's your history
Be free with me
And everybody wants to be touched
Everybody wants to get some
But don't you play a song about love
When I move my body
I don't have to talk about none
Let the chemicals do it's stuff
'Til the energy is too much
All she ever wanted, was taken from her. Her life was void and empty and she did what made her feel alive, sing. Opening her eyes, she smiled at the new world she created, her world, a world where she was free and everyone loved her, her world of music. Her eyes started to water when she thought she saw someone from her past in the crowd. Then shaking her thoughts, she understood it was impossible.
Yeah all I need
Is the rhythm, me and the rhythm
Nothing between
Yeah the rhythm, me and the rhythm
And I know, I know, I know
I can't fight it
I won't, I won't, I won't
Deny it
I know, I know, I know
I'd be lying
If I said I didn't need
Yeah the rhythm, me and the rhythm
Taking swift strides toward the crowd, she pointed at one individual than another, making everyone squeal in delight.
If you feel like you're the spark
Then come out of the dark
If you feel like you're the spark
Then come out of the dark
If you feel like you're the spark
Then come out of the dark
If you feel like you're the spark
Then come out of the dark
Taking a deep breath, she sang the last verse.
Yeah all I need
Is the rhythm, me and the rhythm
Nothing between
Yeah the rhythm, me and the rhythm
And I know, I know, I know
I can't fight it
I won't, I won't, I won't
Deny it
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I'd be lying
If I said I didn't need
Yeah the rhythm, me and the rhythm...
"Take care Kalos!" The girl said before disappearing into her dressing room.
...
The girl washed off the makeup on her face and wiped away water using a towel. Then taking off her green contacts, she put them in a gel and rubbed her eyes. Looking in the mirror, she stared at her face. Running a hand through her cheeks, she slowly whispered,'I need to dye my hair again.'
"Ms. Zoya? Can we come in?" She heard a knock at the door.
"Yes."
A blonde in her mid thirties entered the room and closed it behind her. She saw Zoya coming out of the bathroom.
"Yes Cynthia?"
"We have a recording tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you have an interview scheduled with Mrs. May Drew Ketchum," Cynthia read out from a notepad. Zoya took an uneasy breath,"Why Cynthia? Why May? You know.."
"Chill Dawn, we can't change it. We have to go for that interview," Cynthia gave her a sorry look.
"Fine, tell my hairdresser that I need to dye my hair again and one more thing, Dawn died two years ago, I am Zoya, Zoya Benio."
"You can fool everyone, even me, but not your heart Dawn," Cynthia said. Dawn just smiled,"I am not fooling anyone. I am just staying away from them to save them."
"That is a pathetic excuse," Cynthia said, her voice turning harsh.
"I am not discussing my personal life, you understand that?" She said and got up,"Tell my hairdresser to bring some good quality hair dye. And, I need some time, I am thinking about some new songs."
Cynthia gave a smile,"Well, after your recording tomorrow, we have to leave for goldenrod City."
Dawn groaned again,"How much time will it take?"
"By car, maximum three hours," Cynthia pointed out.
"Oh. Well then," Dawn said and picked up a faded pyjamas and a tank top to change. Cynthia grinned.
"And why are you laughing?" Dawn asked, annoyed.
"For a popstar, you're quite simple," she said with a grin and she narrowly avoided the magazine which Dawn threw at her. Picking it up and putting it back to the table, Cynthia said,"Well, you're expected to sing one or two songs during the interview, so be prepared." Dawn puffed her cheeks,"As if I have a choice."
...
This is basically the prologue!
Was I able to stir up emotions? Please tell me? Should I continue? Everything is in your hands now! See you all soon, hopefully!
And, no I am not changing Dawn's appearance. She still has blue hair and blue iris but puts on a contact and dyes her hair. That's it.
