Cato, Flash, and I hauled our instruments up onto the stage, and set up with the addition of an additional member, Sandalwood, who would be on keyboard. Adagio and her sisters as well as Applejack and her friends were in the front part of the crowd as we made our final preparations. Then, Cato stepped up to the microphone. “I think it’s rather fitting that we get to end this fantastic array of musical talent. So, let’s get into this last round, shall we?” Then, we started the song, with me singing into the mic this time.

Here’s the song. Below is the lyrics.

They don’t own me…

I’m not a piece in their games. Can’t control me..

They’re the only one to be blamed. They’ll never break down.. 

I won’t give them this fight. I’ll give them nothing, nothing, nothing..

Adagio was smiling as we just started building it up. 

Just one kiss, and.. 

I’ll be hooked to her fire.. Her..

Flames are surrounding me now.

As we watch as they light up the sky, we must stand up and fight.. 

Because this love is not a game to me. We’ll survive.. 

And start an uprising.

You can ignite (you can ignite), stand and fight (stand and fight), don’t cave in.. 

So let the games begin.. oooh woooahh.

People were just hollering and cheering as I sung my heart out for the lovely girl smiling at me.

Notice me..

Because I’m been here all along. I’ve been waiting.. 

Since you singed me your song. It’s our moment..

To turn things around and show them something, with nothing. With nothing.

Now, our star crossed love has materialized. We’ve locked our fate right here, right now.

Just one kiss and..
I’ll be hooked to her fire. Her..
Flames are surrounding me now.
As we watch as they light up the sky, we must stand up and fight..

Because this love is not a game to me. We’ll survive.. 

And start an uprising. You can ignite, stand and fight, don’t cave in.

So let the games begin.. ooh woah.

Everyone was really enjoying the song, since in retrospect, it mostly summed up Adagio and I’s  relationship. 

She.. doesn’t know.. the effect she can have..

Nooo, she.. (noo, she..) doesn’t know (doesn’t know) the effect she can have..

We built toward a climax and everyone’s excitement meter went through the roof. Then, we just went full speed and let loose with the opening part of the song in the background with Cato on those vocals as I sang my heart out in the song’s finale. 

Just one kiss and.. I’ll be hooked to her fire. Her.. flames are surrounding me now. And as we watch as they light up, we must stand up and fight..

Because this love is not a game to me. We’ll survive.. and start an uprising. You can ignite (you can ignite), stand and fight (stand and fight), Don’t cave in (Don’t cave in), so let the games begin.. oh woah.

The crowd exploded with applause, as I put down my guitar, got down to the floor of the stage with my legs hanging off the edge, and kissed Adagio on the lips. She threw her arms around her neck, while mine just wrapped around her back. We stayed like that for a few seconds, before we pulled away for air. She smirked. 

“Not bad for a little shark.” 

I blushed, and smiled.

“I’d be willing to do anything for the lead siren I fell in love with.”
