Competition

Terry wrote a word on the board: concert

"Now students. Your assignment is to get into groups of at least three, and hold an impromptu concert anywhere on campus during the week. The group with the most people who enjoyed it will get a voucher for a free meal for each person at Apple Garden. And don't think about getting a teacher to fill in a vacancy."

Students were already in the competitive spirit, and Terry let them pick groups.

"Here's the catch. More than 50% of the group has to be playing an instrument."

Terry then opened a closet, revealing a stash of instruments. He dismissed the class, giving the students some free time to do what they needed until the period officially ended.

Khaston and Yun formed a group, and needed two more. Lex approached the two, asking to join. They accepted, and saw some groups being formed. Ren joined the Chandlers, leaving Cleo to stick with the three guys. They decided that Lex was the DJ, Yun is on drums, Cleo on guitar, and Khaston on vocals.

With Ren and the Chandlers, Blonde was on vocals, Blue on drums, and Brown was on keyboard. Ren was on guitar, and he looked at Cleo, whose baby bump was beginning to develop.

"I have to go for a bit, Chandlers. I'll be back in a few."

Ren leaned down to Cleo's ear.

"We need to start lying to your dad. The bump is starting to show."

Cleo nodded, and kissed Ren before he left to go back to the Chandlers. The four began practice, and class was dismissed before the end of the practice. Everybody went to have lunch, and Blonde Chandler brought Ren and Cleo to an empty classroom.

"So, Ren? When are you going to make your decision?" Chandler and Cleo both asked. Ren was clearly flustered, and tried to leave, but was blocked on both exits.

"I'm not ready to make a decision yet."

Ren turned away, and opened a window, before grabbing a nearby guitar.

Cleo Chandler

I won't lie to you
I know she's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me to
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
Better than he can
Better than she can

Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down

'Cause I know I can treat you better
Than she can
And any guy like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted cryin'
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than she can, (oh oh)
Better than she can
Better than she can

...

Ren told the two he needed time to think, and left the room.

Khaston, Yun, and Lex were discussing where to do their concert. They figured they could do it on the roof during lunch or during Terry's class. While discussing, the three overheard rumors of some people arriving from another universe. Seeing that it didn't concern any of them, they kept discussing the venue and song.

The next day came, and the Chandlers had everyone waiting to get into the building, their instruments ready. It was a clever trick, getting everybody to watch the concert by blocking the entrance.

Blonde Chandler Ren

Someday I'll let you in
Treat you right
Drive you outta your mind, ooh
You never met a chick like me
Burn so bright, I'm gonna make you blind

Always want what you can't have
Is it so bad if you don't get what you wanted?
Make you feel good, as I whip you into shape
Yeah, boy, let's get it started

Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint

So stop trying to walk away
No you won't ever leave me behind
No, you better believe that I'm here to stay (that's right)
'Cause you're the shade and I'm the sunshine, ooh

Look at me boy
'Cause I got you where I want you
Isn't it so exciting?
Wanna shake you, wanna break you
Take the back seat, boy, 'cause now I'm driving

Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips
Stop your staring at my hey!
Take a hint, take a hint
No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
T-take a hint, take a hint

What about "no" don't you get?
So go and tell your friends
I'm not really interested
It's about time that you're leavin'
I'm gonna count to three and
Open my eyes and
You'll be gone

(One)
Get your hands off my

(Two)
'Fore I punch you in the

(Three)
Stop your starin' at my (HEY!)

Take a hint, take a hint

I am not your missing link
Let me tell you what I think
I think you could use a mint
Take a hint, take a hint
Take a hint, take a hint
Woah!

Give it up
You can't win
'Cause I know where you've been
Such a shame you don't put up a fight
That's a game that we play at the end of the night
It's the same old story but you never get it right
Give it up

...

The four bowed, and brought the instruments back to the choir room closet. They went to class, and Blonde Chandler snapped his fingers, and the other two purposefully tripped him and Ren, the former pinning him to the wall.

"If you come back into my arms, I'll embrace you well. One day, you'll be mine again."

Chandler kissed Ren, who became conflicted about his feelings again. He walked away, and the day went normally, with some of the students having concerts.

Ren and Cleo walked to the clinic at the center of the market, who then examined Cleo's pregnancy. He used a spell to see the fetus, and made sure everything was developing properly.

"We'll find out the gender once the fetus develops more. Here's the medical bill, and I'll send you on your way."

The doctor handed Cleo the bill, and the two left. The two hid the bill inside Cleo's purse, and ran into Terry, who was standing at one of the stores.

"Cleo, what were you and Ren doing at an obstetrician?"

Cleo facepalmed, knowing it would be awkward if anybody were to find out. "I accidentally got pregnant, and we're trying to hide it from our parents."

Terry looked at the baby bump.

"You know the story about my incident with Kayla, right? How she got me sterile after spilling her horny cat's sterilization potion on me?"

Cleo and Ren nodded.

"I'll pay the bills, and I'll get the baby out of your hands."

Cleo put her hands around Terry's. "Thank you. This is only the first trimester, so if I become a crazy judgmental bitch, then it's the hormones talking."

The three laughed, and went their separate ways.

Ren went back to his house, and saw that there was a light in his room. He also saw a silhouette cleaning, and recognized it as his mother. He didn't see anything from it, and went to sleep.

The next day passed, and everyone saw Khaston, Yun, Lex, and Cleo blocking the entrance.

Khaston Cleo Yun Lex

My love, oh my love, let it echo/resound
Heartrendingly, beautifully
It is those Crimson lips that give a heated sigh
A passionate symphonia

A continuing spiral within fate
It is a miracle that we could meet

So deep that even my breathing is jagged
I am drowning in you

Please don't stop that searching of yours
Please just make my heart tremble
Once more, from the very beginning
The melody that belongs only to you
Please only let it reach my heart

My love, oh my love, you are too far away
Even if I stretch out this hand
If I can't reach you, or your everything
I can't help but seize it

My love, oh my love, those eyes
They make this chest burn with passion and love
Playing the melody of love, burning for eternity
An everlasting harmony
Passionate symphonia

My love

A sadness that has been planted in the depths of my heart
Hiding wounds that cannot heal

Saying, there's nothing to fear
You smiled

Like a lonely flower
My heart withers
Before my petals fall and scatter
This melody that belongs only to me
Let it reach the depths your heart

My love, oh my love, I want to know
Everything there is about you
That gaze that speaks of mystery
I will unravel it before your eyes

My love, oh my love, let it echo/resound
Heartrendingly, beautifully
Crimson lips, a heated sigh
The overflowing serenade
A passionate symphonia

Please don't stop that searching of yours
Please make my heart tremble
Once again, from the beginning
The melody that belongs only to you
Let it reach the depths of my heart

My love, oh my love, please don't cry
Please just believe only in me
No matter the tragedy, no matter the darkness
I will accept it all

My love, oh my love, those eyes
They make this chest burn with passion and love
Playing the melody of love, burning for eternity
A universal harmony
A passionate symphonia

My love

...

The four bowed, and returned the instruments to the instrument closet.

...

Katie slapped Khaston.

"You sang a love song to literally every boy and girl to the entire school???"

Khaston nodded, and pushed Katie out of his room. He went to sleep, and hoped that he won the contest for the Apple Garden vouchers.

Terry had the verdict of the concert results.

"The winner is..."

Terry opened an envelope.

"...it's a tie between Khaston, Yun, Lex, and Cleo and Ren with the Chandlers!"

Terry handed the two teams two vouchers for Apple Garden meals.
