Rags to Riches

Finally You

"I'm bored." Ryou said as the 15th singer walked on stage, "Bored." He said plainly. Joey shrugged, "Let's get out of here." He said getting up. "People are singing." Ryou stood up as Osiris nipped at his pant leg, "What is it boy?" Ryou asked as the dog tugged, quickly Ryou and Joey followed.

Earlier that day...

Atem watched as Yugi greeted fans and paparazzi talking about Rags, he slowly walked up, "Hey you ready to go?" He asked as Yugi turned to him, "Yes, I'm hoping he shows today!" Yugi was too excited, Atem honestly felt horrible that he was the reason for that beautiful smile to be crashed. Atem and Yugi entered the main area where the stage, it was gorgeous. That's when Marik walked by, stopping by Atem, "Hey dad wanted to talk with you upstairs." Atem nodded, but paused, "Why are you here?" He asked, Marik shrugged, "I guess audition?" He replied as Atem nodded walking put of the stage area.

Atem finally found Frank who was leaning against a wall, "Atem, Atem, Atem." He said with a disappointed tone. "You thought you tricked all of us." Atem chuckled, "I didn't trick anyone." He stated as he leaned against the wall next to his stepfather, "Here, I got something to show you." Frank said gently grabbing Atems shirt, as they walked Frank quickly shoved Atem into a closet, locking it quickly, "Hey! HEY! LET ME OUT!!!" Atem shouted as he banged against the door as Frank chuckled, "You'll understand later, while I introduce Rags to the world!" He hissed loudly through the door, walking away.

Behind the curtains of the stage, Bakura and Marik were dancing or at least practicing dancing as Frank came up behind them, "Its done." He said holding some keys in hand, Bakura looked confused, "What's going on?" He asked as Marik shrugged, as the last act was called, "Looks like I'm Rags." Marik said as he walked on stage.

"Yugi, you're ready to call it quits?" Solomon asked as the 50th person left the stage. "Not quite yet, Gramps." He sighed, wondering where Atem was, "So, Rags seems to be on the shy side. Maybe i'll sing a little and that'll show you how it's done." Yugi said heading on stage, "I'll be singing a little bit of Rags song today for you all." He said into the mic, clearing his throat, " Can I tell you something just between you and me? When I hear your voice, I know I'm finally free. Every single word is perfect as it can be. And I need you here with me. When you lift me up, I know that I'll never fall. I can speak to you by saying nothing at all

Every single time, I find it harder to breathe

'Cause I need you here with me. Every day

You're saying the words that I want you to say

There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away

Now I know I'm falling in deep. 'Cause I need you here with me. Every day. You're saying the words that I want you to say. There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away. Now I know I'm falling in deep. 'Cause I need you here with me."

A voice echoed behind him, "You're saying the words that I want you to say. There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away. Now I know I'm falling in deep. 'Cause I need you here with me. I think I see your face in every place that I go. I try to hide it, but I know that it's gonna show. Every single night, I find it harder to sleep. 'Cause I need you here with me

Everyday. You're saying the words that I want you to say. There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away. Now I know I'm falling in deep

'Cause I need you here with me. Every day

You're saying the words that I want you to say

There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away
