Okay, I got an review that told me to re-write the story. When I read it I didn't know what to say, my mouth nearly hit the table. I was impressed and I'm not hiding it, so I have to say a huge thanks to Shadow Wing.
I remember the note at the end, but I only took it away because people were bugging me about rules and stuff (I know them anyway). I'm really happy that someone gets inspiration from me, I'm practically speechless, such great ideas, I would be a fool if I leave it like this. I'm going to continue it and I'm going to try to follow shadow wing's ideas, but I will put in mine too to make it more interesting.
Disclaimer: It's useless to write because everybody already knows that I don't own Bakugan, it isn't called FanFiction for no reason.
Rock Stars Beyond Time
Chapter one – We Are the Champions.
Music was playing. The talent show had began and the sound of rock music reached my ears.
My hands were shaking. I knew it soon was our time to perform. I could hardly hold the red guitar in my hands, it was slipping out. The light that was shining on us was making me have stage fright, even when we are backstage. Lame, right?
My friends were nervous as well, except for Shun he looked calm, like always. Ace and Baron were shaking as well. Shun had the dark green base in his hands and Ace had the microphone. He was the singer. I wanted to be the singer, but the girls told me that I was better at playing the guitar. Screw them.
We were standing on the old creaking platform. Each time when I or someone else moved it made a loud creaking sound that was making me go psycho. I mean, c'mon, you're nervous and shaking, and the creaking noise is just making everything more horrible.
We all were dressed somehow in our usual clothes. (Didn't have time to change and now have to pay for that.)
"You guys, I don't think that I could do this. It's too much pressure on me." Baron whined behind the blue drum set. He was sitting on a chair, he was swinging to the side and the other to ease the pressure. I thought that he was the one who always cheers us up, but now he is the one whining, I can even keep my mouth shut.
"We will do it. I have come here and won't stop until get what I cam here for. Why do you think that you will make us drop out all because you are afraid of the spot light?" Ace commented Baron as he turned his head to face him. His green ruffled hair falling in his face at the process.
Those guys really don't know when to stop something. Usually it's me and Ace fighting, but the heat must got to Ace and he is really out of it.
I heard the audience applaud as another band came to the stage. It was Runo and the other girls. She did say something about preforming, but I didn't know that she actually would do it.
The both girls, Runo and Alice, were singing while Julie and Mira were playing the piano. The girls went for something simple. If I might say, they sound good. Unlike us they had time to make outfits and actually change.
Their performance was over. Everybody clapped for them. Even I did. Their performance was amazing and that is coming from me.
I heard Shun sigh besides me. "It's our turn." He said and the platform started to move.
"I really can't do this." Baron commented as he covered his face in fear of the lights. The bright light was shining down on us. I closed my eyes because the light was burning. When I opened them I froze in my place.
There were so many people in the audience. From afar I could see my parents watching. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
A man in a black suit came up. "And here we go the next performers. The band Baku-pod." The man yelled in the microphone. People clapped and waited for us to start.
I titled my head to the side Shun was standing. Shun nodded and Baron with shaking hands started playing the drums. Soon I and Shun joined him. Ace started to sing. The crowd was starting to like our song. There was some cheering already. They like us. This is unbelievable. In practice we stunk, but now we are perfect.
I turned my head from the crowd to the backstage. I saw Runo and she was cheering for us too. She was jumping up and down her blue ponytails swinging with her. Julie was screaming like a crazed fan girl. Alice and Mira were just enjoying the song.
Only then when I really looked at Runo I felt in character and went for the solo part. The feeling was great. The crowd cheering for me. I was feeling like I was already on the top.
The song ended and the crowd went wild. I looked at my friends. They were happy as well.
The stage took us back in the backstage. I heard the man in black suit say in the microphone "Well, folks, that was the end of today's talent show. We will turn to our judges who will say the winner."
I got of from the stage and wiped my face with a towel that Runo was handing me. "You did well." She said the happiness in her voice.
I sat a box that was near by. "Thanks, but your were better. You would deserve to win." I ruffled my hair with my hand. It was so hot up there.
"That doesn't matter we both were good." Runo beamed and turned away. I heard her say something under her breath, "We were better." Like always, the sarcasm.
My friends; Shun, Ace and Baron were talking with the other girls. Well, Shun was just standing, his eyes closed.
"Hey Dan!" Julie ran up to me and hugged my like there is no tomorrow. Really, what's up with that girl and the hugs if I can call them hugs, more like squeezes.
"I want to breathe Julie." I choked out while trying to get out of her grip.
She let me go. "You were so good. You totally deserve a kiss." She was ready to kiss me, her eyes closed, but I ran past her to hear the scores. "Hey, you didn't get your sweet kiss." Yeah, as if I wanted that.
"Had they told the scores yet?" I ran to the guys besides the curtains where we could see the stage.
"No." Was the simple answer from Shun. I peered at the judges who were discussing between them selves.
"This is making me nervous even more. Why do the put so much pressure in these kinds of competitions?" Baron practically squeaked while sweeping off the sweat that was on his forehead. Ace on the other hand was quiet and was glaring at the judges like he was cursing them or something.
I was starting to feel the pressure too. "What's taking them so long? This is starting to get irritating." I sat down on a black comfy chair that was behind me. Shun was besides me his eyes closed and he wasn't nervous. He was just sitting there as nothing special was happening. How come shun is able to stay so calm?
"Okay, here are the scores." I heard the school director say. My head lift up. "The third place goes to Chan Lee for her performance." Everybody applauded and Chan Lee came to the stage in a red dress.
"And the second place goes to Runo, Alice, Julie and Mira." I heard Julie squeal as she and the other girls ran up to the stage to get their prize.
When they came back Julie with the medallion in her hands jumped up in air. "I can't believe it we actually got a prize." The other girls were happy as well.
"Don't worry, Dan, you got the first place." Mira said as she sat down on the other side from me.
"How do you know?" I asked full of interest and confusion.
"I guessed. But really you will win. I just have this feeling that you will." Mira said and closed her eyes to relax for a minute from the squealing.
I turned my attention back to the headmaster. "And our first place winners are..." There was a drum roll and that was making me crazy, "The band Baku-pod." He said our name so fast that I didn't quite catch it. I only could tell that from the joy that Baron had.
"Told you." Mira said under her breath.
"Come on, Dan, we have to get to the stage." Shun called me. We all stepped on the stage, again in the spotlight only with the main prize in our hands.
Ace took the giant gold medal. "Thanks." He turned away from him and walked back to backstage. The headmaster had a weird expression on his face.
"Okay, well, our winners." He yelled and the audience clapped for us once more, "Do you have anything to say?" He asked us.
"I guess not." I shrugged and walked off the stage. We waved goodbyes' to the audience. They all were cheering for us and whistling. How weird is that?
When I got off the stage I was covered with questions and hugs from Julie. "Wow, you guys are the best." Julie squealed in my ear.
"Don't worry about her." Alice said, "You did really well and you all deserved that prize. Congratulations!" Alice said in a calm voice that actually calmed me down and I got Julie calmly off of me.
Whit all this cheering I forgot about Marucho. I haven't seen him today. He even didn't want to join us in the group. "Hey, has anyone seen Marucho? He wasn't in the audience." Everybody stopped cheering and gave a thought to this.
"Yeah, where is Marucho? He missed our performance." Julie tried to be angry, but it didn't look like it cause she has a high voice that could pierce ears.
This is really odd. He told us that he will be here, but he has to take care of some business first. Where is he?
Okay, I practically did nothing to this chapter only fixed some errors and detailed a bit more with Dan's thoughts. I will do the same with the second chapter.
