Altered Resemblance

Chapter 7: Performance

 

~~~~~~~~~~Riku~~~~~~~~~

 

Standing backstage, I take a deep breath. After that day, nothing else happened. Almost like all the evil grew silent, to wait for the right moment to strike. To my knowledge, no one else had found out about Squall's little secret either. I hope it all works out for him.

 

Arms encircle my waist and breath grazes my neck. “Good luck Riku. I know you'll be great.”

 

I give Axel a quick peck on the lips.

 

“Now for our opening act we have a requested song that will be performed by Riku Reimei!” announces Zexion.

 

I hold my smile in place and hurry to the stage with anxiety running through my veins. However, the second the music blares, I go into a confident autopilot.

 

 

I forgot to wear my cross tonight
I left my garlic at home
It's so dumb but it's so fun
To wander 'round the city alone

I'm runnin', fallin' down
Chase me all around this town
And now you've finally got me
What am I to do?

Sexy vampire,
I'm falling in love
So just bite me baby
And drink all my blood

Oh yeah

Sexy vampire
I'm falling in love with you
So do what you want to do

Sexy vampire
I'm falling in love
So just bite me baby
And drink all my blood

Oh yeah

Sexy vampire
I'm falling in love with you
'Cause you need my plasma more than I do.

Hey you wanna stop for a drink or two
And maybe for a disco break here
We'll party all night until the sun comes up
You could say I'm raising the stakes.

I'm runnin', fallin' down
Chase me all around this town
And now you've finally got me
What am I to do?

Sexy vampire,
I'm falling in love
So just bite me baby
And drink all my blood

Oh yeah

Sexy vampire
I'm falling in love with you
So do what you want to do

Sexy vampire
I'm falling in love
So just bite me baby
And drink all my blood

Oh yeah

Sexy vampire
I'm falling in love with you
'Cause you need my plasma more than I do.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Axel~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“Next we have Axel Shinra performing Let Me Love You.”

 

Walking out onto stage I instantly spot Riku in the first row.

 

His performance was amazing. He even danced along with it. I think everyone had been mesmerized.

 

With my guitar in hand I take my seat on the stool in front of the mike.

 

Ever since the world around you shattered

You've been looking everywhere for something more

Sometimes you feel like your life doesn't matter

But it does

I tell you it does

 

C'mon let me love you now

C'mon let me love you

And hold you through the storms

I will keep you safe and warm.

C'mon let me love you now

C'mon let me love you

And kiss away the tears
I will always be here
C'mon let me love you.

 

Yesterday you found your heart was broken

And tomorrow doesn't leave much room for hope.

Today you'll find that my arms are wide open

And my heart, my heart is full of love.

 

Give up on all the other things.

`Cause my love can bring you more

And if you take a chance on me

I'll give you what you're looking for.

 

As the last chord dies into silence I glance out over the crowd. Just as I stand that whole place erupts into thunderous applause.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Demyx~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Zexion had never found out what I would be performing. I just hope that he likes it.

 

“Here's our 25th and final act. Our very own musical wonder, Demyx Kaze.”

 

Claps and whistles echo off the walls as I stride slowly onto the wooden stage. Standing before the mike I balance my sitar on my hip. Strumming the first note everyone immediately quiets down.

 

No matter what the time

I'm just alone

Destiny forgotten

Even though I kept going.

Inside of the sudden light I awaken

In the middle of the night

 

Quietly,

Stand in the exit way,

And, in the pitch-black, take the light

 

And about the recent promises,

Is it just that I'm so anxious?

A wish that's wanting to be said, but shall be repressed

I'll introduce my family,

You'll surely get along well

 

No matter what the time

We'll always be together

No matter what the time

Because you're by my side

The light known as “you” finds me,

In the middle of the night

 

Enter a noisy street

And put on the mask of destiny

 

Thinking too much about the future.

Stopping things that have no meaning.

Today I'll eat delicious things.

The future is always before us,

Even I don't know it.

 

It's not necessary to go right to the end,

Just keep going.

It's okay if the scenes

Go on one by one.

The light known as “you”

reflects my scenario

 

Let's talk more,

And about the tomorrow that's before your very eyes.

Turn off the television,

And look only at me.

 

No matter how well we're doing,

I don't believe in us completely.

But at those sort of times,

Because you're by my side,

The light known as “you” finds me,

In the middle of the night.

 

Let's talk more,

And about the tomorrow that's before your very eyes.

Turn off the television,

And look only at me.

 

I look up toward the entrance from behind the curtain and smile.

 

Zexion wipes at a few stray tears while the audience explodes into praise. Zexion mouths a `thank you I loved it' making me the happiest person on earth.
