Me: This is going to be my longest chapter ever because of the songs (Which I don't own). And my stories won't stop plauging me until they are done. Oh, well, let's get rollin'.

A Long Night's Performance

The next day had gone by rather quickly and the night had soon come. The girls were preparing for their performance and Carlos and Cody were getting the instruments and music ready.

"Aqua? Lake? Are you two going to be the only singers tonight while the rest of us back you up?" Emma asked.

"Maybe, it all depends on what songs Carlos picked out for tonight. We may be able to hear Olivia sing. You know that Carlos always wants to make a big impression." answered Aqua.

"An' boy are we gonna make a big impression with the songs he choose." Lake chimed.

Don't worry about it too much Emma. Carlos has never steered us wrong before." said Nikki.

"Says the girl who has a crush on him." said Olivia.

"I do not have a crush on him!" cried Nikki.

"Carlos and Nikki sittin' in a tree..." Aqua began.

"K.I.S.S..." continued Lake.

"I.N.G." finished Emma.

"Shut up!" shouted Nikki.

"Nikki loud." came Cody's voice through the door.

"Is something wrong, Cody?"

"Iie (that's 'no' in Japanese), Carlos say everything is set." the indigo monkey replied.

"Okay, we'll be there soon." Lake said.

"See you soon, Otouto (that's 'little brother' in Japanese)" cried Emma as Cody walked away.

"I'm ready. What about all you?" asked Olivia. They nodded.

"You gals go ahead, I need to take care of something." Aqua stated.

Out in the hallway, Aqua went the opposite way the others did and up a flight of stairs. The blue monkey came to a door with guards by it. They allowed her to pass into the room. Once inside, she sat in a chair that was in front of a desk. Behind the desk was Shenron, patiently waiting for her.

"Alright, Aqua." he began firmly, "What is this... request you wished for?"

"Well, I was wondering if we could have as close to a full audience as possible." she asked sweetly.

"What do you mean?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"I was wondering if those three prisoners of yours could be in attendence and I was hoping that... maybe...if you had the time, you could come and watch some of the show." Aqua pouted her lip, hoping it would have some effect on the demon monkey.

"Very well, I will be there, but only for the first couple songs. I do have some important business to attend to." said Shenron.

"I understand. You are the mighty leader of a magnificent army. I shall leave you be." With that, Aqua left.

Once outside the room and away from the guards, she smirked and thought, "Perfect. Everything is going according to plan.'

Aqua went to the stage where they would be performing and piped up, "Great news everyone, Shenron's gonna be at the show for the first couple songs."

Then the blue monkey looked at her sister, who had big puppy dog eyes, and sighed, "Yes, the three prisoners will be here, including the red one."

"YES!" Lake shouted in glee.

"If you don't mind, we need to finish preparing," said Olivia.

"Then let's hope to it. We only have a half hour left." commanded Olivia.

30 min. later

The room was lit up with black and neon lights. The tables were set up like a scattered plot and each table had a pole through the center of each table. The stage's edge curved to make a large 'U' shape.

Soliders came in and sat down. Several of them escorted Sprx, Gibson, and Antauri into the room and put them at the table closest to center stage. Shenron was st the table behind them, watching them closely, waiting for them to try and escape, but the three monkey knew better and stayed put.

"Why do you think Shenron brought us here?" asked Gibson.

"Beats me. Antauri?" the red monkey looked at his black brother who was deep in thought.

The black monkey looked at the two and spoke in a low whisper, "I believe this was Aqua's doing."

The two felt their jaws drop.

"Why would she do that?" asked Sprx.

"Your guess is as good as mine, my friend. There is something strange about this girl, but I just can't put my finger on it."

"Shhh. The show's beginning." stated Gibson.

The lights dimmed and showlights flashed on. The curtains opened, revealing Carlos on drums, Nikki on keyboards, and Cody and Emma on electric guitars. Three sets of stairs decended as the four began to play the song 'Out Tonight' from Rent. Aqua, Lake and Olivia each walked down their own set of stairs in a way that made people get a nosebleed. Then the three began to dance like pole dancers and Aqua began to sing.

What's the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It says, "Time for danger"

It says "I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
I wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger"

At this point, Aqua gave a sexy look to Antauri and winked at him. Lake and Olivia did the same to Sprx and Gibson respectively.

I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the games
Get up - life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance in the flames

We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me

Let's go out tonight!
I have to go out tonight!

You wanna play?
Let's run away
We won't be back before it's New Years' Day
Take me out tonight

Meow- HA!

The three made a cat motion and danced sexily in front of their audience.

When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That you're on line with the feline of
Avenue B

Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight

You wanna prowl?
Be my night owl
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight

Then, without warning the three jumped off stage and landed on the table where Antauri, Sprx, and Gibson were sitting. Lake and Olivia danced quite suducetively around Sprx and Gibson while Aqua crawled up close to Antauri.

In the evening I've got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels too damn much like home
When the Spanish babies cry

So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are

Aqua moved her face in close to Antauri's, so close that it looked like they were about to kiss.

And all the scars of the
Nevers and maybes die!

Suddenly, the three jumped gracefully back on stage and continued their dance.

Let's go out tonight
I Have to go out tonight

You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?

Just take me out tonight
Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight

Tonight - tonight - tonight!

They got a big round of applause before they continued with the next song. And no one noticed Sprx trying to stop his nosebleed. Olivia went to the drums and Cody and Carlos came up to sing 'Floorfiller' by A-Teens with Aqua and Lake. (Why, because it's one of my favorite songs and I'm finally 17! Okay, not good points, but oh well. Please continue.)

Carlos: Hey Mr. DJ, in case you forgot
I came to get down
So you better make it hot

All: Cause I can't jump around when I hear
Girls: groove killers

All: When I'm out sitting down, it's a clear
Girls: time stealer

Carlos: Give me a track with a phat kind of beat
A groove so unique that it kicks me off my seat

All: Cause I won't find a mood with a new
Girls: spine chiller

All: When the crowd hits the room, it's a true
Girls: crowd thiller

Cody: Freeze,
Girls: better make it hot

Cody: Music please,
Girls: blow the spot
Carlos: Play that funky music

All: That is how we want it
Floorfiller
That is how we need it
Floorfiller

Something's outta order, people in the corners
Don't you see it
Can't you feel it

Girls: Floorfiller

Carlos: Crank up a bass that can raise up the roof
A bomb diggy drum comin' at me with a poof

All: Gotta boom, shake the room, cause we're all
Girls: heat seekers

All: With a jam that can slam down the walls,
Girls: mindfreaker

Cody: Freeze,
Girls: better make it hot

Cody: Music please,
Girls: blow the spot
Carlos: Play that funky music

All: That is how we want it
Floorfiller
That is how we need it
Floorfiller

Something's outta order, people in the corners
Don't you see it
Can't you feel it

Carlos: You know by the sounds when the crowd is getting wild
Hands swinging high like a chopper in the sky

All: But a slow bumping flow ain't the way,
Girls: pulse freezer

All: See the name of the game is to play,
Girls: crowd pleaser

Cody: Freeze,
Girls: better make it hot

Cody: Music please,
Girls: blow the spot
Carlos: Play that funky music

All: That is how we want it
Floorfiller

Floorfiller
Something's outta order, people in the corners
Don't you see it
Can't you feel it

That is how we want it
Floorfiller
That is how we need it
Floorfiller
Something's outta order, people in the corners
Don't you see it
Can't you feel it

Floorfiller

Once that song was over, Aqua took notice that Shenron was not there. As she prepared for the next song, her mind was ranting, 'That damn bastard. He leaves in the middle of a song. How rude! He is so gonna pay for that!' It was Olivia's turn to sing. She was singing 'Ultimate' by Lindsay Lohan with Carlos on drums, Cody, Aqua, and Lake on guitars, and Nikki still on keyboard.

You're the kind of friend who always bends when I'm broken Like remember when
You took my heart and put it back together again

I've been wasting time with clueless guys
But now it's over
Let me tell you why
I'm through
I've meet someone new
Who's just like you

You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic.
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
Cuz I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate, you

You're the kind of guy who's hands and mind send shivers up and down my spine
You took my heart and put it back together again.

You're the kind of guy that blows my mind
But now it's my turn
You've been right in front of me
Everything I need
Why didn't i see

You're it
You're the ultimate
It's Automatic.
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
Cuz I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate, you

Cody's Guitar Solo

You're it
You're the ultimate
It's automatic
I'm sure of it
No lie
So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy
Cuz I've been waiting all my life
For someone just like you
But you're it
You're the ultimate, you

You're it
You're the ultimate, you...

Once that song was done, Lake and Aqua, with guitars in hands, came forward. Olivia went to a keyboard that controlled the lights. She dimmed the lights until it was almost pitch dark and silver lights flashed on behind them, making it look like Aqua and Lake were bathed in moonlight. Then the two began singing 'Chemicals React' by Aly & AJ.

Lake: You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion
And you're movin' too fast

Both: Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

Aqua: You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper
Makin' it harder to breathe

Both: We cannot deny, how we feel inside
We cannot deny

Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react

Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don’t let us lose it (don’t let us lose it...)

Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah

We lived
We loved
We hurt
we jumped
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We lived to love

But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watch the chemicals react
And just like that
The chemicals react
(The chemicals react)

They ended with a strong cord and bowed. Then they continued to play throughout the night, finally finishing with 'Love Heals' from the Rent soundtrack.

Emma:
Life a breath of midnight air
Like a lighthouse
Like a prayer

Cody:
Like a flicker and the flare the sky reveals

Emma and Cody:
Like a walk along the shore
That you've walked a thousand times before
Like the oceans roar
Love heals

Nikki:
There are those who shield their hearts
Those who quit before they start

Carlos:
Who've frozen up the part of them that feels

Nikki and Carlos:
In the dark they've lost their sight
Like a ship without a star in the night
But hold on tight

All:
Love heals

Lake:
When you feel like you can't go on

All:
Love heals

Aqua:
Hold on to love
It'll keep you strong

All:
Love heals

Lake:
When you feel like you can't go on

All:
Love heals

Carlos:
Hold on to love
And it will bring you home

Nikki and Cody:
Love heals when pain's too much to bear
When you reach out your hand
And only the wind is there

Emma and Carlos:
When life's unfair
When things like us are not to be

Aqua and Cody:
Love heals when you feel so small
Like a grain of sand
Like nothing at all

Lake and Carlos:
When you look out at sea
That's where love will be
That's where you'll find me
You'll fine me

Aqua:
So if you fear the storm ahead

Lake:
As you lie awake in bed

Aqua and Lake:
And there's no one, no one to stroke you head
And your mind reels, your mind
Your mind reels.

Aqua:
If you face is salty wet
And you're drowning in regret
Just

All:
Don't forget
Don't forget
Don't forget
Don't forget
Don't forget
It's all right
Love heals
Love heals
Love heals
Love heals
Love heals

Then everyone went to bed.
