**I don't know the girl, but she's amazing at covering songs and I am a bit speechless about it. So, I chose to use this song for the oneshot and I just saw this and was like "WOW. I'M USING THIS."**

Dirk POV------

So, how did I land here? At a concert for a sissy, no-good girl singer? Dave told me she was the best cover artist. She was "The Shit." He got us two tickets and we went to the one close to our Texas home. I don't know how, but Dave got me to also 'dress for the occasion' and wear some fucking shades; I had got rid of them and went to getting brown eye contacts. We went up to the ticket person and got to our seats, or whatever. I really don't care about this. Bored as hell, I look at the stage and I see the singer. Holy shit. She's hot. My eyes probably widened because Dave gave me a cocky smirk and said "I know, Y/n's pretty cute. Too bad you have no chance." and focused back on the stage. Y/n was dress in a f/c plaid skirt and white long sleeved shirt. a light grey headband was in her h/c hair. The shirt showed her shoulders and it was skin tight so it showed her curves. And her voice. HER VOICE. She is the shit. She was singing "Say Something" but this version was sadder. She was like she was pouring out her heart. When the curtain closed, I released a sigh I didn't know I was holding. Dave chuckled and said "Just a few more song, then we can go backstage." I turned to him and smiled. I never break the stoic face, so he was surprised. She sang "Blue Lips" by Regina Spektor, "Ugly" by Nicole Dollanganger, "Silent Scream" by Anna Blue, and last "Something About Us" by Daft Punk. I looked at her and her face was clear of any makeup and her eyes twinkled like sparklers. I caught her eye and she smiled. After the last song, She pointed in Dave and I's direction. "Hey you! In the anime shades!" She yelled. Okay, I'm in a dream right? NOPE THIS IS HAPPENING. I point at me, idiotically and she gestures to get up onto the stage. I hop out of my seat and walk to the stage, climb on and stand next to this one-of-a-kind beauty. She smiles and says "So, what's your name sir?" She's so fucking kawaii. "Dirk Strider, at your service." I play off coolly, stoic face on the outside, roller coaster on the inside. "Well Dirk, would you like to sing a song with me?" She asks, smiling. I nod and she says "Well then, I hope you know the words to this duet." Turning to the crowd she says "Let's give it up for Dirk everyone!" The crowd was screaming and clapping and whistling. "Dirk, you'll be singin' an awesome song; Familiar with 'Mad World'?" She giggles. I nod and say "Got that song memorized." "Great, ready?" Nodding again, we start singing, first me then her, chorus together.

"All around me are familiar faces." My voice was sort of low and hers was airy.

"Worn out places, worn out faces." 

"bright and early for the daily races,"

"Going nowhere, going nowhere." He voice sort of had a melancholy sound.

"Their tears are filling up their glasses,"

"No expression, no expression."

"Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow,"

"No tomorrow, no tomorrow." Her voice drops a bit then gets a bit higher when singing,

"And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles it's a very, very

Mad world, mad world." I look at her, and it's as if she was looking at me the whole time.

"Children waiting for the day they feel good." I warble, still looking into her e/c eyes.

"Happy birthday, happy birthday." She dips in the middle.

"And to feel the way that every child should."

"Sit and listen, sit and listen." She came a little closer and held out her hand.

Holding her hand and probably blushing I sing "Went to school and I was very nervous,"

"No one knew me, no one knew me." She chimed.

"Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?"

"Look right through me, look right through me." She smiles at the crowd, but her eyes were welling.

"And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you,

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles it's a very, very

Mad world, mad world.

Enlarging your world. Mad world." 

Both of us fading out, the crowd goes wild and holy shit, Dave can scream how high? I give a hint of a smile and look at Y/n. Her eyes sparkled from tears. "Thank you everyone for coming! Let's also thank this Anime Guy!" Everyone was cheering. For me. I never heard that after the game. The curtains close and I hear heavy breathing and Y/n's hand left me. Not to sound cliche, but the warmth sort of left after that. "So Dirk," Y/n says. I turn my face to hers. "I kinda need a partner for singin'. I tried this jig out for many concerts but all the other guys were only looking at my ass." She laughs. "Maybe. I do have to pack then. And tell my bro, Dave." I smile a bit and she grins adorably. "Well then, you tell the other Strider what's up and get your stuff packed. Meet you tomorrow!" Walking away, she remembers something. Pulling out a piece of scrap paper she writes something. "My phone number." She grins and walks to her dressing room. I walk out the exit and tell Dave the news. He smiles and says "I figured." We drive home and I start packing. 

1:00 PM next day------

I look at my bare room and take out the slip of paper. I call the number and they are going to pick me up at 2:30. I look at Y/n's handwriting for the numbers and notice words on the back. 'Dirk- I know you're reading this. Why don't you show your orange eyes to the world?' I gape at the letter then hear a honk. "DIRK STRIDER HURRY THE FANS ARE COMING!!" I pull my suitcases and run out the door. Packing the stuff in the car, I say goodbye to Dave. At the last moment, Dave takes my sugoi shades and my packet of contacts. I'm shocked by the brightness, but I feel relief. And Y/n takes my hand once more. "Ready, Dirk?" She smiles excitedly. "Don't worry, we'll come back soon." I nod and climb into the van. "I told you you shouldn't hide them." She smirks and then exclaims "They're like mini suns!" I smirk and say "Let's ride." I have a feeling I'll miss Dave, but I think everyday with Y/n will be rad.
