Hey guys. Sorry about all of the author's notes. I just haven't had much inspiration lately. Anyways, on to the story!! 😆

(Y/N)'s POV
Once Cole and I made it back to the backyard, Master Wu was handed an evolope by my mom.

"Alright then," Master Wu announced, opening the envolope and pulling out a sheet of paper. "Time for us to reveal the winner of today's contest. And the winner is...Cole and (Y/N) with Stand by Rascal Flatts! Now would the winners go inside and perpare for their winning performance. Remember, you can not sing the same song as before."

Inside le monastery

Cole's POV
"I can't believe that we won!" (Y/N) cheered. She then jumped into my arms and kissed me on the lips. It didn't take long for me to kiss her back, but still.

"We won! But, what about our new performance? What are we gonna sing?" I asked.

"How about we sing Sad Song by We The Kings?" (Y/N) suggested.

"I think that's a little too sad for you," I replied.

"You're probably right," (Y/N) added. "Then how about Little Do You Know?" (Y/N) asked.

"I'd rather not have to cheer you up today," I stated. "What about a more up beat song?"

"Well, what would you like to sing?" (Y/N) asked.

"Well, I was thinking of singing Devils Don't Fly by Nathalia Kills?" I suggested.

"I'm not sure I wanna sing that song just yet," (Y/N) countered. "What about The Wall Between Us from Miraculous Ladybug?"

"I've never seen the show," I replied. "Sorry babe. What about Need You Now by Lady Antabellum?"

"Sure," (Y/N) agreed. "I haven't herad that song in forever, let alone sing it. It's a bit of a sad song but as long as I have you with me, I'll be fine. I promise."

"Then it's settled," I added. "We'll sing Need You Now by Lady Antabellum. Now for costumes."

"I have my senior prom dress that I can wear," (Y/N) stated. "But we would have to find a tux to match it. Do you have anything that could work?"

"I think I have something that might work," I replied. So we walked up to the guys' room to see what I had to wear that would match (Y/N)'s dress. Once we made it to mine and the guys' room, I went straight to the closet. As soon as I saw something that looked like it could match her dress, I pulled it out and showed it to (Y/N).

"How about this?" I asked. "It has some hints of orange and peach in it."

"It's perfect!" (Y/N) cheered. "C'mon! I wanna show you my dress!"

Time skip to the girls' room

Once we made it to the girls' room, I saw (Y/N) head to the closet and pull out this beautiful orange and peach dress. The next thing I know is her going to the bathroom and being in there for at least 2 minutes and coming out wearing the dress.

"So," she started. "What do you think?"

"I...Uh," I stuttered. "You look beautiful. That dress really suits you. Please try to look like that all the time." I ended up mumbling that last part.

"T-thanks," (Y/N) said. "I was also thinking that we could just wear the suit and dress this time. What do you think?"

"Yeah," I replied. "Now we should probably get going."

"You're right," (Y/N) agreed.

Time skip cuz I'm lazy as fuck

Once (Y/N) and I were done changing and outside, we made our way to the stage. But I couldn't help but feel a bit overprotective of her. I mean, she's wearing the most beautiful in her dress. Anyways, after we made it on stage, that overprotective feeling faded away.

"Now that our winners are here," (m/n) started. "They will be singing a Lady Antabellum song called Need You Now." Soon, the music started playing.

(Y/N)'s POV
As soon as I heard the music start to play, I prepared myself to sing by taking a deep breath (which really helps me to control my stage fright in this kind of situation).

(bold is Cole, italics are you, and underlined is both)

Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause
I can't fight it anymore

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one
I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now

Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all

It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby I need you now

When Cole and I were done singing, I could hear everyone cheering and applauding. I couldn't believe that people were clapping and cheering for us. I think I even saw Nino with wide eyes or something. It felt really good to be singing in front of people I know and not complete strangers, although I don't know anyone in the police department unless they were friends with my parents.

"Um, babe?" Cole whispered. "Your ears are out."

"Really?" I asked. I then felt my head for wolf ears, and once I felt fur, I freaked out. "Can I just run back to the monastery? I can stand having the police force looking at my ears. Please, let me go back to the monastery!" I ended up crying and it was so hard for me to even face everyone in the crowd, so I just ran up to Cole and crying into his chest.

"Hey, it's alright," Cole cooed. "You'll be alright. I'm sure it was just an accident. As long as you know that it happened, it's fine. Now let's go. I'm sure you wanna get out of your dress."

"I guess," I mumbled. "Just as long as I have you here with me. I really don't wanna have to deal with my mom being asked questions by the police force. L-let's just go back inside."

"Alright," Cole agreed. "We'll go back inside if it'll make you feel better."
