Chapter 1 - The Talent Show

It's a starry night at Storm-a-Long Harbor, and everyone is inside the Candy Barrel for a special announcement. The lights go down and everyone stops talking. A single spotlight clicks onto a stage and a girl with brown hair that was parted over her left eye, wearing a grey and red shirt and a black skirt walks out.
"Ahem. Hello and welcome to the first annual Storm-a-Long talent show!" She said. "My name's Lucy, and I'll be your MC for the night. We have a great lineup of acts for you, so sit back and enjoy!" She smiled and waved at Flapjack who was waving at her in the audience. "First up, put your hands together for, Maple!" Lucy exclaimed and there was a bit of clapping. Lucy walked offstage and handed the microphone to a girl with blonde hair, wearing a red and white striped shirt, and blue pants. She walked to the front of the stage, smiled, and spoke.
"Hey! I'm Maple!" She exclaimed, and music filled the candy barrel.

"You don't understand
What it is
That makes me tick
But you wish you did
You're always second guess
Wonder if I say yes
But you just lose out every time
If you only knew
What I talked about
When I'm with my friends
Just hanging out
Then you'd have the inside scoop
On what to say, what to do
That way when you play the game
Baby you could never lose

Don't you wish that you could be a (fly on the wall)
A creepy little, sneaky little (fly on the wall)
All my precious secrets, yeah
You'd know them all
Don't you wish that you could be a (fly on the wall

You'd love to know
The things I do
When I'm with my friends
And not with you
You're always second guess
Wonder if
There's other guys I'm flirting with
You should know by now
If you were my boyfriend
I'd be true to you
If I make a promise
I'm coming through
Don't you wish that you could see me
Every second of the day
That way you would have no doubt
That baby I would never stray

Don't you wish that you could be a (fly on the wall)
A creepy little, sneaky little (fly on the wall)
All my precious secrets, yeah
You'd know them all
Don't you wish that you could be a (fly on the wall)

A little communication
Well that'll go all the way
You're getting misinformation
Too much he say he say
And what I say is
Come a little closer
And what I'm gonna say is
Don't ya!
Don't ya!
Don't ya
Don't you wish you were a
Hey!

Don't you wish that you could be a (fly on the wall)
A creepy little, sneaky little (fly on the wall)
All my precious secrets, yeah
You'd know them all
Don't you wish that you could be a (fly on the wall)"

The candy barrel was filled with applause as Maple took a bow and left the stage. Lucy came back out and smiled.
"Alright! Let's hear it for Maple!" After she said this, there was more clapping, and Flapjack yelled "GO MAPLE!" really loud. "Our next act is awesome! Get ready for.... Pancake!" Lucy exclaimed, and a girl with dirty blonde hair in a pony tail with a white shirt with blue stripes and blue pants walked out and took the microphone.
"Hi everyone! I'm Pancake and hope you enjoy my performance!" Pancake smiled. Music once more started playing.

"I run past others with a parched heart.
Sorry, I can't do anything.
You won't even let me
Share our pain together.

To live on without tarnish,
I face your back and head out without looking back
on the lonely rail

I will follow you.
No matter how agonizing the world is,
You will shine even in its darkest corners.
Cross over the end of the future,
My weakness will not shatter my spirit.
my way is overlapping with yours.
For the two of us, God bless...

This warming affection that reaches me,
It melts my reality and roams my heart.
I don't need a reason for wanting to meet you,
Just my overflowing feelings, Lovin' you

For now, let's paint a beautiful dream
And chase after
for your lonely heart

Stop it, it's not like you to lie.
Look at my eyes and let's talk about our future.
I am prepared,
Even if the future is bleak,
I might be able to change destiny if I become stronger.
But for my wish to come true,
Everything is God knows...

You are here, I am here.
Everyone else has disappeared.
While we paint the beauty of this fleeting dream,
We trace out the lines of our scars.

That's why I will follow you.
No matter how agonizing the world is,
You will shine even in its darkest corners.
Cross over the end of the future,
My weakness will not shatter my spirit.
my way is overlapping with yours.
For the two of us, God bless..."

Clapping started again and Pancake bowed, then left the stage. Lucy came out again.
"Yeah! Wasn't Pancake great?" She exclaimed. More clapping.
"PANCAKE!!!" Flapjack yelled from the audience.
"Okay! Our next act is... Desty!" Lucy exclaimed and a girl with black, curly hair, a white and dark plum shirt, and blue bellbottoms walked out. She smirked and introduced herself.
"I love blood sausage." She said. Everyone had puzzled looks on their faces as she began her song.

"I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've done the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As is you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

I think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As is you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As is you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear"

More clapping! Everyone was really getting riled up by the whole show. People whistled and cheered as Lucy walked back out.
"Yes! Wow, you guys, wasn't Desty great?" She said, and more cheering and yelling filled the room. "Okay, okay. We still have more acts to get to, so here's Kaz! Clapping again occured as a boy with black Hair, blue Eyes, a black T-Shirt, blue Baggy Pants, and converse shoes walked out. He said nothing as the music started.

"I watch you walk away
helpless with nothing to say!!!
! strain my eyes
hoping to see you again!!!!

this is my curse!!!!!
the longing*
this is my curse!!!!!
time*
this is my curse!!!!!!!
the yearning*
this is my curse!!!!!!!!

there is love
burning to find you
will you wait for me?

your silence haunts me
but still i hunger for you

And i see your face

Everyone went crazy. Shouts and cheering. Kaz walked offstage and Lucy came back.
"Haha! Wow! Kaz was awesome, no?" She asked. Everyone cheered. "Well, we're still going! For now, here's Ryan!" Lucy exclaimed and a girl with dark brown/black hair, in her face or parted to the side, a black choker necklace, a light yellow/tan SUPERLONG sleeved shirt, dark grey pants, and a red bandana around her knee walked out. She smiled nervously.
"Um... Hi?" She said, and did a nervous laugh as the music started.

"I traveled though the atmosphere as a wall of feedback climbed
The pegs were gold, the band was old, they played in half time
Now every dream gets whittled down just like every fool gets wise
You will never reap of any seed deprived of sunlight

So I have become the Middleman
The gray areas are mine
The in-between, the absentee
Is a beautiful disguise

So I keep my footlights shining bright just like I keep my exits wide
'Cause I never know when it's time to go, it's too crowded now inside
The dead can hide beneath the ground and the birds can always fly
But the rest of us do what we must in constant compromise

So I have become the Middleman
The gray areas are fine
The "I don't know," the "maybe so"
Is the only real reply
It is the only true reply"

Clapping and cheering rang in everyone's ears as Ryan bowed and left the stage. Lucy walked out.
"Okay, so we've seen alot of great acts tonight, are you ready for more?" Lucy asked the crowd, to which they replied with screams and cheers. "Okay! Let's bring out Kitty!" She exclaimed, and a girl with dirty blonde hair, jeans, and a shirt that has anime on it walked out. She smiled.
"Ummmm… Zello peoples! I am the biggest anime freak ever!" Kitty exclaimed, and music started.

"In the endlessly far sky, there's only the feeling of "thank you"
As if reaching out, I'll spread my hands and laugh

Little and fragile pieces of life, you and I
Are holding them one by one

The light of truth will increase the brightness
Wiping away darkness, your heart will illuminate the future

Let's promise one thing, I'm alive here
It's great to still be so; a pure white color that seems to glare

Before long, my thoughts will someday arrive at my destiny
And find a limitless strength

I seek for the truth, even if I get battered by sadness
Even on a night in which all seems lost

Impulses are born within the quiet times
Your determined heart will change everything

Let's promise one thing, I'm alive here
It's great to still be so; a pure white color that seems to glare

Before long, my thoughts will someday arrive at my destiny
And find a limitless strength

In the endlessly far sky"

"KITTY! KITTY! KITTY!" The audience chanted as she left the stage. Lucy smiled at her when she went backstage. "Great job out there, Kitty, they really loved you!" She said. "Thanks!" Kitty replied, and smiled back. Lucy walked out onto the stage once more. "Woohoo! Haha! That was awesome, Kitty! Now we have for your entertainment, Buiscut!" Lucy exclaimed, waving her hand in the direction of a girl with long black hair with a red streak on her bangs, bandage wraps for a shirt, camo green cargo pants, and boots. Buiscut waved to the audience and smiled.
"OH MAI GAWSH! I'M GUNNA PERFORM!" She exclaimed, and the music started.

"A daydream spills from my corked head,
Breaks free of my wooden neck,
Left to nod over sleeping waves,
Like bobbing baith for bathing cod.

Floating flocks of candled swans,
Slowly drift across wax ponds.
The men all played along to marching drums.
And boy did they have fun,
Behind the sea.

They sang, ( hey )
So our matching leg are marching clocks,
And we're all too small, to talk to god.
Yes, we're all too smart, to talk to god.

Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs,
To us from the dock.
Jinxed things ringing as they leak,
Throught tiny cracks in the boardwalk.
Scarecrow now It's time to hatch,
Sprouting suns of ageless daughters.

Don't you know,
That those watermelon smiles,
Just can't ripen underwater ?
( just can't ripen underwater )

The men all played along to marching drums,
And boy did they have fun behind the sea,
They sang, ( hey )
So our matching leg are marching clocks,
And we're all too small, to to talk to god.
Yeah, we're all too smart, to talk to god.
Oh, we're all too smart, to talk to god.

Legs of wood waves, waves of wooden legs."

"Wow! Yay Buiscut!" Flapjack exclaimed from the front row as the cheering started. Buiscut smiled and bowed. Then she handed the microphone to Lucy and left the stage.
"Awesome, Buiscut! Now, we have Kira!" Lucy exclaimed, handing the microphone to a girl with brown hair, a green bow in her hair, an orange shirt with blue stripes, and a green scarf and blue pants. Kira smiled. She looked into the audience and saw Flapjack.
"Hey Everyone! Im Kira, Kira stone and I am totaly gonna ROCK!!" Kira exclaimed, making a peace sign. The music started.

"C'mon guys tell me what we're doing

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohoh ohohoh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

An explosion of cheers. "Yeah!" Kira exclaimed, and walked offstage. Lucy came out.
"Alright, so that finishes up our acts for tonight. Everyone leave. NOW." Lucy said in a bored and mean tone. Everyone was confused as she walked offstage. It was several minutes before Lucy came running back onstage.
"Yo! I'm Lucy! Let's get ready to ROCK!" She exclaimed. Everyone was expecting a fast rock song to come blasting through the speakers, but it didn't. Instead, soft music played.

"

I robably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome
But we lost it
It's not possible for me
Not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change
Until you hear
My dear

THE 7 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU!
The 7 things I hate about you, oh you!

You're vain
Your games
You're insecure
You love me you like her
You make me laugh
You make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends
They're jerks
When you act like them
Just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing
I hate the most
That you do
You make me love you

It's awkward and silent
As I wait for you to say
But what I need to hear now
Your sincere apology
When you mean it
I'll believe it
If you text it
I'll delete it
Let's be clear
(oh) I'm not comin' back
You're takin' 7 steps here

The 7 things I hate about you
You're vain
Your games
You're insecure
You love me you like her
You make me laugh
You make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends
They're jerks
When you act like them
Just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing
I hate the most
That you do
You make me love you

And compared to all the great things
That would take to long to write
I probably should mention
The 7 that I like

The 7 things I like about you
Your hair
Your eyes
Your whole devise
When we kiss I'm hypnotized
You make me laugh
You make me cry
But I guess I spoke
I'll have to buy
Your hands
In mine
When we're in a twine
Everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing
I like the most
That you do
You make me love you

You do (oh)

ooooo ooo lalala oooo ooo"

"YAY! WOO!" Cheered the crowd as Lucy bowed. All of the performers came out and bowed. The cheering grew louder. After all of the audience filed out, Lucy, Kira, Buiscut, Kaz, Pancake, Kitty, Ryan, Desty and Maple were talking.
"You guys were great!" Lucy exclaimed.
"So were you, Lucy!" Maple said.
"Awesome show, guys!" Flapjack exclaimed, walking up.
They all laughed together. It was a great Talent Show, indeed.
