Dual Academy Musical

The Only Thing Similiar is the Song List, and even that varies.

Think of it as a collaboration of a few different musicals, using the GX characters.

High School Musical (songs and basic plot)

Wicked (only two songs)

Rent (only four songs)

Hairspray (only a few songs, and a tiny portion of the plot)

and some random songs that aren't in any musicals

I could give you a list of which character is who, but it wouldn't make any sense until you get farther into the story. So, I won't bother. Most will be obvious.

Main Pairing: Judai/Johan (SpiritShipping)

Songs Sung in This Chapter:

Start of Something New

Johan Andersen sat in the corner with a book held up to hide his face. All around him people were laughing and singing and generally having fun, but he couldn't get into the spirit of it. He was content to play the wallflower, firmly hidden behind his book.

The book was jerked from his hands, and Johan made a grab for it, but his sister just held it out of his reach with a wicked grin.

"Now, now, Johan," Yubel Andersen (oh, I went there. And came back with a lifetime supply of sugarquills) admonished, "what's a handsome young, well, man like yourself doing pretending to be a wall ornament?"

"Not getting iinvolved," Johan replied, making another swipe for his paperback. "Give it, sis!"

"Nope!" Yubel grinned, turning to walk away. Johan chased after her with a growl.

"Seriously, Jess," he pleaded. "Just let me finish this last chapter. Then, I'll go make an idiot of myself. I'll dance and flirt, or whatever! Just please-"

"Promise?"

"Sure." Yubel sat the book ontop of his head.

"One more chapter. I'll give you five minutes."

"Twenty."

"Ten."

"Fifteen."

"Deal."

The siblings shook hands, and Yubel dissapeared into the crowd, while Johan looked for the nearest place to sit.

"What are you two doing?"

Judai Yuki jumped at the sound of his mother's voice, turning sheepishly to face her. Across the field, his Dad just shrugged nonchalently.

"We're dueling, dear," Mr. Yuki stated. His wife frowned.

"On New Year's Eve?" She said. "Honey, we came on vacation to take a BREAK from all of that!"

"Oh, just this one," Mr. Yuki argued.

"Judai's missing the entire party!" She replied. Judai groaned as the aforementioned party entered his thoughts. He'd never tell his mother, but he was almost happy that his dad had provided him an excuse not to go.

"Just one more game, Mom!" Judai pleaded, clasping his hands. "Pleae?"

Mrs. Yuki rolled her eyes. "One more. Then get up to the party. You hear me?"

"Yes, mother," Judai replied.

"Yes, dear," his dad echoed.

Mrs. Yuki left, and the duel resumed.

Judai just barily made it to the party with twenty minutes to spare until midnight. Enough time to mingle, pretend to have fun, and get the heck out of there. Just had to make sure his mom saw him, so she couldn't claim he didn't come.

"And for the last karaoke number before the ball drops, we're gonna pick a couple out of our wonderful audience!" A girl with blue-green hair was saying into a microphone on the small platform that served as a stage. "Randomly, of course! Shine that spotlight, DJ!"

Two spotlights began to circle the crowd, and people jostled to either get to, or away from, them. Judai found himself being pushed around until the lights finally stopped moving.

And to his horror, he was stadning directly under one of them.

Johan squinted against the brightness as one of the searchlights landed on him. He put down his book an glared at his sister, who was beckoning him and some other poor soul onto the stage.

"Random my ass," he muttered, getting up.

The crowd parted and he stepped onto the platform, crossing his arms to hide their shaking, and turning his green eyes to the ground, so he wouldn't have to see everyone looking at him.

(I'm going to kill Yubel,) was his thought as the music started. (Oh, God. I can't do this!)

"Living in my own world," a voice began. Johan jerked his head up and turned his gaze to the person beside him. A brunette his age was staring hard at the lyric-counter. "Didn't understand," he sang. Johan stared in wonder as the brunette shakily sang the opening lines. "That anything can happen. When you take a chance."

He stopped, but the music continued. The boy glanced at Johan, then sighed, and started to leave. Johan screwed up his courage, and read the next few lines.

"I never believed in," he began to sing, fully aware of the brunette, who had turned back to gape at him, "what I couldn't see. I never opened my heart-"

"Oh. ooh," Judai sang.

"-to all the possibilities. Ooooh."

"I know-"

"-that something has changed."

"Never felt this way."

"And right here tonight..."

"This could be the start of something new," they sang together. "It feels so right, to be here with you. Oh, ooh! And now, looking in your eyes, I feel in my he-art, the start of something new."

"Ooh, yeah," Judai sang, getting into the song as he turned to face the bluenette. "Now who'd've ever thought that-"

"-we'd both be here tonight?" Johan joined.

"Oh, yeah."

"And the world is so much brighter," Johan sang.

"Brighter, brighter!"

"-with you by my side!"

"By-y my side!"

"I know," they sang, "that something has changed! Never felt this way! I know it for real!" They were facing each other now. The rest of the room forgotten as they stared into each other's eyes. "This could be the start of something new!"

"It feels so right, to be here with you! Ooooh!"

"And now, looking in your eyes, I feel in my heart, the start of something new!"

"I never knew that it could happen," Judai sang, "till it happened to me! Ooh, yeah!"

"I didn't know it before-"

"-but now it's easy to see," Johan sang. "Ooooh!"

"It's the start of something new! It feels so right, to be here with you! And now, looking in your eyes! I feel in my heart, that it's the start of something new! It feels so right, to be here with yo-ou! "And now, I'm looking in your eyes, I feel in my he-e-art, the start of something new!"

"The start of something new."

"The start of something ne-e-ew..."

The music ended, but they both continued to stare into each other's eyes, until Yubel came up to hug her brother, breaking the spell.

"See, bro! That wasn't so horrible, was it?" She squealed. Judai backed away: wide-eyed, but still grinning. Johan wriggled out of his sister's grasp, motioning towards the door, which they both escaped out of.

"Fireworks'll be starting soon," Johan said quietly, leaning against a statue outside the lodge. "Almost midnight."

"Yeah," Judai replied, sticking his hands in his pockets, and hitting his cellphone. He quickly pulled it out to see if anyone had left him any messages. Johan turned to stare at the device, smiling slowly.

"Hey..." he began, fishing his own cell out of his back pocket. "Wanna trade numbers?"

Judai held up his phone to snap a picture of the bluenette in reply. Johan laughed, taking a picture of the brunette as well. They both then exchanged phones so that they could enter their contact info.

The crowd counted down around them.

"-Eight! Seven! Six!" Everyone was shouting. The two boys, glanced around in shock. "Five! Four! Three!"

Judai glanced nervously as Johan, who looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

"Two! One!"

Judai leaned forward slightly, but Johan flinched back. Judai straightened, holding out his hand instead. The too shook hands akwardly, glancing anywhere but at each other.

"So," Judai started, scratching his face nervously. "Some of us are having a party later, and I was wondering if-" he turned to face Johan, but the blunette had slipped away. Judai glanced around, but the other boy was nowhere to be seen.
